Summary: Can meditation lead to improvements in cognitive abilities such as attention? Meditation research generally suffers from a shortage of longitudinal studies, therefore this seven year project should be applauded. Building on their earlier work which examined the effects of a three month meditation retreat on cognition. This investigation assessed the benefits of sustained practice in the following years. The findings appeared to demonstrate that age related decline in reaction time was negatively correlated with the continuation of meditation practice (regular practice leading to slower decline), following the intensive three month retreat. The research broadly concludes that the cognitive benefits achieved through periods of intensive activity, may receive protection against age related decline from regular meditation practice.
In the original retreat at least two forms of meditation were undertaken, a basic mind training and a compassion/empathy based practice, both embedded in a spiritual tradition. Inevitably it is problematic to evaluate the benefits of each of the practices or their interaction effect. As an experienced meditator I should underline that by their very nature, participants willing and able to undertake retreats of three months and sustain meditation practice over several years are probably unrepresentative of meditators generally, let alone the wider population. Limitations of ecological validity are discussed in the study. There was also insufficient information provided regarding the meditation history of participants, their levels of accomplishment, the degree of their theoretical training and information regarding secondary or special practices undertaken since the retreat.

Friends of Wednesday's Child, an organization dedicated to transforming the lives of children in foster care through education, celebrated its 31st anniversary with its annual luncheon at the Meyerson Symphony Center.
Festivities began when event chair Cachet Petty Weinberg and honorary chairs Amanda and G. Brint Ryan welcomed underwriters, sponsors and VIPs to a sophisticated champagne reception with the luncheon's keynote speaker, former first lady Laura W. Bush. She posed for pictures with guests while attendees mingled and congratulated Weinberg for all of her hard work.
As the luncheon officially kicked off, Brint Ryan introduced Bush, who gave the group a humorous update on her family. The bulk of her address, however, was a passionate plea for everyone to do their part to help every child receive an education and a safe and healthy home.
She told a meaningful story about an unforgettable boy she met during her time teaching school when she first started working. She commented that she frequently wonders what happened to him having known about his home life.
Emcee Cynthia Izaguirre of WFAA and Bush then had a moderated discussion onstage, where they spoke about the importance of extracurricular activities and encouraged parents to be models for their children. For example, Bush believes the best way to encourage your child to read is for them to see you reading yourself. Her message to foster children is that they have many people who love them, even though they may not know all who are supporting them.
Without a doubt, the most touching speech came from Brittnay Conner, who grew up in foster care and will soon be teaching in Columbia as part of her Fulbright scholarship. There wasn't a dry eye in the crowd as Conner shared her personal experience as a foster child, detailing the everyday challenges facing those like her.
She explained how she overcame her feelings of desperation and pushed herself to succeed. She was given a standing ovation.
Support of Friends of Wednesday's Child helps ensure that foster children graduate high school on time and have a plan for their future. The organization helped more than 2,500 foster children, and that number is estimated to grow with this year's luncheon proceeds.

Gov. Ricketts issues statement about replacing Sasse in U.S. Senate
The governor said he wouldn't appoint himself as Senator of Nebraska.
Governor Ricketts addresses the speculation on the upcoming U.S. Senate vacancy.
Published: Oct. 7, 2022 at 3:51 PM CDT|Updated: Oct. 7, 2022 at 4:00 PM CDT
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Gov. Pete Ricketts responded to speculation Friday on what might happen if U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse were to give up his seat and take the job as president at the University of Florida.
"The first I learned about Senator Sasse's plan to resign from the United States Senate was yesterday, when he called to notify me," Ricketts said.
Sasse's replacement would be appointed by the governor of Nebraska. Gov. Ricketts, who's been silent about his future plans after his term ends this year, made mention of pursuing the Senate seat, but said he wouldn't appoint himself.
"If I choose to pursue the appointment, I will leave the appointment decision to the next governor and will follow the process established for all interested candidates. It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as the governor of Nebraska. It is the greatest job in the world, and it will remain my number one focus for the remainder of my term."
According to the Nebraska Secretary of State's Office, "Within 45 days of a vacancy arising, the Governor would appoint a qualified Nebraskan to fill the vacancy. That person would serve until January 2025. An election would be held in 2024 to fill the seat for the remaining two years of the term. The person appointed by the Governor to fill the seat would be eligible to run at that time."
After learning about the University of Florida's intention Thursday to install Sen. Sasse as president of the university, Gov. Ricketts thanked the senator for his service.
"I appreciate Senator Sasse's service to our state and nation," Ricketts said in his statement Thursday. "He would make an excellent President for the University of Florida. He has one of the most conservative voting records in the Senate, and we need more conservative voices in our universities. Senator Sasse is also incredibly smart and has the experience and a clear passion for higher education. I wish him luck as the University of Florida makes their consideration."

WET Engineering contracted with the fountain contractor to provide design and permitting services for this new feature for a renovation to one of the City of Savannah's historic squares. The 800 sf interactive fountain consisted of an array of in-ground jets with LED lighting. The jets can be sequenced by a central controller. It was constructed on a raised paver system with the reservoir located beneath. The recirculation and feature pump draw water from the reservoir. All equipment is housed in a self-contained vault.
WET Engineering handled coordination and production of complete construction drawings including civil, mechanical, electrical, and structural plans. The fountain manufacturer's plans were reviewed by WET Engineering and integrated with the construction set. Permitting was done through the Chatham County Environmental Health Department. WET Engineering assisted the reviewers with ensuring the project would meet state codes, which do not contain pertinent requirements for interactive water features. The fountain opened in spring 2010.

Charity launches Christmas appeal to help Kids Company children on anniversary of schoolgirl's death

A charity is marking the fifth anniversary of a Highgate schoolgirl's death from cancer with the launch of a Christmas appeal to help children left without support following the closure of Kids Company.
Alexandra "Allie" Wylie was just 17 when she died on November 25, 2010. In her memory, her family founded the Alexandra Wylie Tower Foundation (AWTF), and now every Christmas, the charity asks for food donations so it can hand out parcels to disadvantaged children across north London.
But this year, it is widening its appeal to also help children who previously relied on the collapsed South London-based charity Kids Company, which closed earlier this year following allegations of financial mismanagement and a police investigation into sex abuse claims.
Allie's mum Lindsey Wylie, of Gladsmuir Road, Highgate, said: "We are finding this fifth anniversary of Alexandra's death very hard. The only way I know how to cope is to channel all the wonderful support we continue to get into trying to make sure that we are able to help as many local children as possible.
"I still find it incredibly hard to believe that in the 21st century we have so many children in an affluent city like London who will be hungry and not get any gift over the festive period. And with the closure of Kids Company there are even more young people out there who need help."
Celebrity patrons Juliet Stevenson and Michelle Collins, both actresses, launched the annual Christmas appeal on Monday ahead of the fifth anniversary of Allie's death today. The charity is encouraging residents to give donations of non-perishable food and children's gifts to make sure as many children as possible have a meal and a present on Christmas Day.
Truly, Madly, Deeply star Ms Stevenson, of Highgate, said: "On the fifth anniversary of Allie's death, we are witnessing a huge humanitarian crisis, one that we know she would have poured her energies into.

"More families and children are uprooted, homeless and transient this Christmas than any of us have ever witnessed before. We can't reach many of the refugees but meanwhile we can do all that is possible to spread a bit of joy and generosity to those who are within our reach.
''This, once again, is a glorious initiative by the AWTF, in the spirit of a great-hearted girl in whose name the charity works, lives and breathes."
The donations drive is being supported by Channing School in The Bank, Highgate, and King Alfred School in North End Road, Golders Green.
Channing charities officer Erick Jackaman said: "We are very happy to be part of the launch of this community appeal.
"Allie will always be part of Channing and we hope that we can help a lot of children this Christmas in her memory."
Drop off donations at The Old Crown pub in Highgate Hill, Highgate or at the Gladsmuir Road street party from 4pm until 6pm on December 13.

Wassup it is I, Orian 142 and I am big Elder Scrolls fan. I have put a lot of time in Oblivion and Skyrim (a tad in Morrowind). I have been playing Mine craft for almost as long as i have played the Elderscrolls series ( a few years off and on). Here are some screen shots of a tavern type building i made as well as a village i made some basic edits to. I would like to be part of the Skyrim build team but wouldn't mind Oblivion if needed.
Thank you for submitting your application to join Tamrielcraft's build teams. From the submissions you posted I can see you have skill in doing interiors and an ability to incorporate shapes into your designs, but unfortunately I find your builds lacking in material selection and detail. It would seem that you are building with the mindset of someone in Survival mode, but you would need to open yourself up to using all the different block types available at your disposal in Creative mode to create detailed builds. As such, I can't give you my vote for Builder rank, but I think you can definitely improve to the point where you would. If you would like to do a new build that showcases these skills, I can reconsider your application.

20. Look for the Silver Lining
Chet Baker was a famous jazz trumpet player who came to prominence in the early 1950's. It turned out that not only was he a great trumpet player but he had a smooth, simple and honest vocal delivery. Even though he produced almost 200 CD's in his career, he only recorded about 40 vocals. Most of them were originally recorded in the early 1950's along with his unique trumpet playing. Twenty of these jazz vocal songs were released around 1989 under the name "Let's Get Lost: The Best of Chet Baker Sings". Over the past eight years, I have produced 8 vocal jazz CD's. In every one of them I have included at least one Chet Baker vocal standard from the 1950's. Since both my voice and the music arrangements of these songs are so similar to that of Chet Baker, I have compiled these various tracks into one 20 song CD which I believe captures the vibe and essence of Chet Baker. Hopefully, the thousands of Chet Baker fans around the world will recognize and appreciate Chet Baker Revisited.

I-League 2nd Division Final Round Points Table
[Round 6] Friday, May 21, 2010: With absolute dominance, ONGC clinched the license to play for the coveted I-league division 1 next season. ONGC's endeavor in the final leg of has been a revelation. They have played like a champion, wining all but one match so far, and already achieved what they wanted before playing their last round match. City team HAL needs only a point to achieve what the other public sector has achieved and to do that they have to wait for their final round match against Sesa on Monday. It is not yet over for Vasco, to see them qualifying for I-league division 1, HAL should loose against Sesa, and then must beat Mohammedan Sporting with a decent margin. Currently Vasco is ahead (2-goal) in goal difference. Mohammedan Sporting has been a true disappointment in this edition. The rest of the teams, Malabar United, Oil India, NISA, and Sesa Football Academy lacked the experience needed in this stage.
[Round 5] Monday, May 17, 2010: Good show from the ONGC team helped them to get in to the pole-position for the first time in 5 rounds. They remain the only team unbeaten so far and virtually booked their place in the 1st division. In the final leg, HAL lost points for the first time today, however, they too are right there at the top with a point less from the leaders.
[Round 4] Thursday, May 13, 2010: Consistent performance by HAL makes them an almost-sure contender for the next season I-League 1st division. HAL is virtually thru until they make something very stupid in the coming 3 matches. Another public sector team, ONGC has performed extremely well to stay unbeaten after 4 rounds. The following 3 teams, Mohammedan Sporting, Malabar, and Vasco are closely labeled. A must win for their round 5 matches should they want to stay in contention for the top-two spot. There is no change in the 3 bottom-ranked teams, Oil India, Sesa, and NISA remains as is, and their is no realistic hope for them to qualify for division 1.
[Round 3]Sunday, May 9, 2010: Steady show by the host team so far; third win from as many matches, HAL leads the points table with 9 points. Close to them is another public sector team, ONGC, with 7 points; thanks to their superfine performance in the 3rd round. Vasco with 2 wins and a loss is also in the contention for the top 2 spots. With today's loss, it makes difficult for Mohammedan Sporting's to book a berth of the I-League 1st division.
[Round 2] Thursday, May 5, 2010: Former I-league division 1 team, HAL leads the table after their morale boosting win over Oil India. Another big wig, Mohammedan Sporting is following them closely, thanks to their convincing win over NISA, Manipur today. Interestingly, both the top team meets on a derby-like clash on Sunday, May 9. ONGC on 3rd spot is the other unbeaten team. Malabar and Vasco, with one win and loss are at 4th and 5th spot respectively. Both the teams need to get their act together and perform well in the coming rounds. The bottom-placed teams, NISA, Oil India, and Sesa are surely lacking experience in playing in the big stage.
[Round 1] Saturday, May 1, 2010: Vasco and HAL lead the pack after Round 1. After splitting points in the first game, former I-league team, Mohammedan Sporting is languishing at the lower-half. However, early days of the I-league final phase, so, a lot of changes are expected to take place as the game progresses.

Australian Federal Police accessed journalists' metadata, stoking new media freedom concerns

Related Story: AFP raids News Corp journalist's home over alleged national security leak
Federal police have accessed metadata from journalists' phones almost 60 times within a year, adding to a debate about balancing national security and media freedom.
Police can access a journalist's metadata as part of crime or national security investigation
Metadata has been accessed 58 times in just 12 months
Warrants have been issues for two journalists, indicating multipoint data points were accessed
Domestic intelligence and police agencies can be granted access to the metadata during investigations, as the information may reveal the source of a leak or the whereabouts of a wanted person.
It remains unclear which journalists were targeted and why the information was sought.
Legislation from 2015 forces telecommunication companies to hold internet and phone records for up to two years so the information can be accessed as part of criminal investigations.
Twitter: @andrewprobyn: Something to consider regarding the AFP raids. Under law, security agencies MUST brief the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) when a warrant is exercised to secretly access telecommunication metadata from a journalist's phone.
Law enforcement agencies are also required to get a warrant to access a journalist's information and disclose how many times metadata was accessed, to allay concerns about any potential overreach.
During debate over the laws, then attorney-general George Brandis repeatedly stumbled over the definition of metadata in a Sky News interview.
Parliament's powerful intelligence and security committee is currently examining the impact of the legislation.
Police records reveal only two journalist information warrants were issued to the agency in the 2017 and 2018 financial year, indicating the 58 metadata requests focussed on just a couple of journalists.
The legislation included a requirement for agencies to report how many times they had accessed journalist data.
Video: The Australian Federal Police entering the ABC headquarters in Ultimo (Photo – ABC News: Taryn Southcombe) (ABC News)
The AFP accessed the metadata of people suspected to be involved in drug offences 8,200 times in the same financial year, and terrorism suspects on 1,627 occasions.
National security laws to be reviewed
This access is likely to highlight a tension between national security laws and freedom of the media, which will be soon be examined by the same committee undertaking the legislative review.
It follows Australian Federal Police (AFP) raids on the home of Canberra-based News Corp political reporter Annika Smethurst and the ABC headquarters in Sydney over two separate stories.
Both media organisations are taking their fights to court, in a bid to stop the AFP using information seized in the raids.
Video: AFP won't rule out journalists being charged after raids (ABC News)
The Federal Opposition, crossbench senators and media outlets have criticised giving the task of reviewing whether there are appropriate legislative protections for the media and whistle-blowers to the same committee responsible for reviewing the national security laws that are now the cause of concern.
They had wanted a separate committee established.
Labor has also demanded the Government respond to reports the Australian Federal Police examined the private travel arrangements of a senior ABC journalist, as part of its investigation into a national security leak.
On Monday, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age reported the AFP seized the travel details of the ABC's Dan Oakes, who was one of two journalists who broke the story known as the Afghan Files.
The story revealed allegations of unlawful killings by Australian special forces in Afghanistan and led to an AFP raid on the ABC's headquarters last month.

LISA RENEE: "Militarization of Global Society"
"With the social engineering of the death culture, militarization is used by those in the world governmental power as a strategy for maintaining global dominance, ensuring geopolitical interests, as well as exercising exopolitical power and control. Thus, the military industrial complex is the deep cover used to conceal the presence of the NAA to carry out their long term divide and conquer warfare strategy against the people of this earth. The Controllers are addicted to maintaining coercive power on the world stage, the same way abusers and tyrants gain and maintain total control over a victim for selfish gain and abusive purposes, such as perpetrating physical, psychological, sexual or financial abuse. The goal of the power abuser is to control and intimidate their victims on the earth into learned helplessness, and to influence the general population to feel that they are powerless to change anything in their lives. Military war strategists that have identified enemy targets for divide and conquer agendas, whether they are human or nonhuman, apply the exact same kind of war strategies. Whether that target is nations, populations or an entire planet, when assuming the strategy for takeover the strategies are the same. One obvious conclusion for experienced military personnel that attack enemies from the ground or from the air, is that long term planning for implementing soft kill methods have a far better performance record. This is especially so when the intelligence operation can remain concealed and thus requires much less physical resources than hard kill methods. Such as applying electronic technology countermeasures for crowd control that alter the electromagnetic signature of a person, whether used on individuals, groups or entire populations. Thereby altering the physical body, as well as psychological and emotional behavior of the group that is being targeted for subjugation through the use of electromagnetic technology and mind control. An example of current soft kill agendas is the enforcement of legal poisoning in the general public that is made through vaccinations, water fluoridation, GMOs, chemtrails, herbicides, pharmaceutical drugs and other chemical biological weapons. All of these examples change the electromagnetic frequency and chemistry of the body, brain, CNS and DNA signals, which are designed to radically impair immunity, consciousness and intelligence factors over the longer term. Also understood to be serving the Blood Sacrifice or killing of the human race. If we can see the current soft kill measures in the environment that have been methodically put in place through the well thought out long term planning of the Controllers, we can easily see the hidden purpose of these genocidal methods, including the eugenicist policies leading back to the divide and conquer agenda of the NAA. Gaining knowledge that this divide and conquer agenda is happening against the people of this earth, and to identify what it looks like in everyday life is the first important step. We have to see it operating and understand what the motivation behind the agenda really is, before we can find the courage to take productive steps forward."
Militarization is the process by which a society organizes itself for military conflict, war and violence that is based upon the glorification of the military and the cultural values that are placed upon military based power. With the social engineering of the death culture, militarization is used by those in the world governmental power as a strategy for maintaining global dominance, ensuring geopolitical interests, as well as exercising exopolitical power and control. Militarization can inject massive amounts of cash and resources to revive an industry, boost a nation's faltering economy or to carry out an assortment of dominance based agendas through the strong-arm of the military industrial complex. The military industrial complex outwardly appears as the alliance made between a nation's military and the defense-arms industry, the massive corporate transnationals that supply all military technology and weapons meant for waging war. Also understood to be serving the Blood Sacrifice or killing of the human race. Thus, the military industrial complex is the deep cover used to conceal the presence of the NAA to carry out their long term divide and conquer warfare strategy against the people of this earth. See Black Sun Program.
The defense or arms producing industry is a global commercial industry responsible for the manufacturing and sales of weapons and military technology throughout the world. Departments of government also operate in the arms industry, buying and selling weapons, munitions and other military items, which infuse billions into the vast political network that is supporting the endless war economy.
The driving force behind this relationship between the government, defense contractors and arms dealers are the corporate conglomerates behind them that massively profit off of the suffering of humanity. One side of the deal is obtaining the weapons to kill or make war, while the other side is being paid exorbitant amounts to manufacture and supply the weapons. Thus, the setup is for the Controllers to make obscene profits on both sides, while promoting the negative narrative of ever-present enemies. The manufacture of endless enemies maintains the external focus of control over humanity, to suffer in endless wars and live in a permanent war economy.
The Controllers are addicted to maintaining coercive power on the world stage, the same way abusers and tyrants gain and maintain total control over a victim for selfish gain and abusive purposes, such as perpetrating physical, psychological, sexual or financial abuse. The goal of the power abuser is to control and intimidate their victims on the earth into learned helplessness, and to influence the general population to feel that they are powerless to change anything in their lives. When the human race is subdued and distracted through the various psychological warfare tactics that condition learned helplessness into the human psyche, they can only deal with the current pressures of today. When we only look at today we look for instant gratification and do not consider the long-term consequences of today's actions. We remain ignorant of the long term consequences of the Soft Kill Agendas in play around us.
What are Soft Kill Agendas?
Military war strategists that have identified enemy targets for divide and conquer agendas, whether they are human or nonhuman, apply the exact same kind of war strategies. Whether that target is nations, populations or an entire planet, when assuming the strategy for takeover the strategies are the same. One obvious conclusion for experienced military personnel that attack enemies from the ground or from the air, is that long term planning for implementing soft kill methods have a far better performance record. This is especially so when the intelligence operation can remain concealed and thus requires much less physical resources than hard kill methods.
Soft kill is a military term used to describe the covert agenda for slow killing without the knowledge of the person or persons under attack, using disinformation, withholding evidence and psychological warfare tactics.
It is the act of disabling an enemy target without the use of outward physical destructive force. Soft kill also refers to the use of hidden technologies to subdue enemies. Such as applying electronic technology countermeasures for crowd control that alter the electromagnetic signature of a person, whether used on individuals, groups or entire populations. Thereby altering the physical body, as well as psychological and emotional behavior of the group that is being targeted for subjugation through the use of electromagnetic technology and mind control.
If we can see the current soft kill measures in the environment that have been methodically put in place through the well thought out long term planning of the Controllers, we can easily see the hidden purpose of these genocidal methods, including the eugenicist policies leading back to the divide and conquer agenda of the NAA. An example of current soft kill agendas is the enforcement of legal poisoning in the general public that is made through vaccinations, water fluoridation, GMOs, chemtrails, herbicides, pharmaceutical drugs and other chemical biological weapons. All of these examples change the electromagnetic frequency and chemistry of the body, brain, CNS and DNA signals, which are designed to radically impair immunity, consciousness and intelligence factors over the longer term.
The majority of the population is on high stress overload trying to meet the most fundamental and basic human needs. As a result, many people cannot begin to fathom the larger reality of the off planet NAA divide and conquer agendas, combined with the Controllers on the ground implementation of soft kill methods. However, there are individual and collective actions that we can take that help us to empower our selves and each other, and to know that we can make a difference.
Gaining knowledge that this divide and conquer agenda is happening against the people of this earth, and to identify what it looks like in everyday life is the first important step.
We have to see it operating and understand what the motivation behind the agenda really is, before we can find the courage to take productive steps forward. The most empowering step we can take now is developing our heart based relationship to our higher self, and working on ourselves spiritually. We must find within our heart our direct connection to God, our highest power, whatever that sacred heart connection to all of life truly means to you. When we are spiritually connected we gain the inner strength, courage and higher intelligence that lends itself to the coping skills we need to overcome the dark night of the soul and spiritual warfare. Challenging circumstances can often lead us to work towards making important changes in our lives that shift our awareness and priorities to be aligned with our inner spirit. No matter what is happening in our world, we can move into states of greater wisdom that bring more deeply meaningful experiences with others, so that we can exchange unconditional love, peace and contentment.

JOACHIM BARTOLL: "'Who Did It?' — WRONG QUESTION!"
"After the alleged leaks of the Nord Stream pipelines, I see that question posted more now than in a very long time. Everything played out exactly as I wrote in my small article about the leaks. The lukewarm truthers believe the U.S. did it because of the speech made by Joe Biden on February 7th where he said that, 'if Russia invades, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.' At the same time, the mainstream media tries and put the blame on Russia themselves, exactly as I wrote in my coverage. Both of the camps have their heads up their asses though, as always. The question should never be, 'WHO did it?', because if you understand the world, you already know. Instead, if you understand these basics, just skip ahead and ask the question, 'WHY do they tell us that THIS happened?' Actually, that question should be rephrased as 'did it happen at ALL?' Because we know that it's all theatre and part of their games, rituals, and agendas. This is important because Controlled Opposition and Shills are always telling you that mainstream media is lying and doing the bidding of the government, but at the same time they run with their stories as if they actually happened, they simply flip the narrative to lure those in who know that the media is lying or twisting the truth.' THAT is the purpose of alternative media. They reinforce each other. These alternative explanations put out by controlled opposition and alternative media are there to protect the mainstream medias version's central premise that "IT" happened — that what they report on is real. In this case with the Nord Stream pipelines, alternative media point at Joe Biden and the U.S., which simply reinforce the story that 'it' happened and that 'it' was a sabotage. And all the lukewarm truthers sheepishly follow along by focusing on 'who did it?', again reinforcing the idea that there are always two sides fighting each other, cleverly hiding the fact that there are no sides, that they are all controlled by the same hand, that they are simply following a script to keep the masses distracted while they implement their agendas in the shadows. Again, if you understand that the world is simply a stage and that presidents and governments follow a script, then we know that all these big events have some kind of meaning, that they are and will be used to further whatever agendas they are working on. At times it can be as simple as to keep you distracted as something else of importance is taking place, or to create opinions and division, to instill irrational fear of different events and outcomes, to get leverage for new tyrannical laws, and most importantly, to program you with a false view, a false reality of the world which they control. And we know about Agenda 2030 and we can clearly see how all this fits into what has been happening for the last couple of years, and where they want to take us with Agenda 2030. The world is a stage. Everything that happens and get full coverage in the mainstream news is scripted! It's done or fabricated by those in power, at the top of the power pyramid. And all countries, all the presidents and governments simply do what they are told. Ukraine vs. Russia, the left vs. the right, the U.S. and NATO trying to meddle, it's all smoke and mirrors, all theatre, it's all fake! It's simply an act to shape your belief system."

Ukraine vs. Russia, the left vs. the right, the U.S. and NATO trying to meddle, it's all smoke and mirrors, all theatre, it's all fake! It's simply an act to shape your belief system.
So, we already, with high certainty, know 'who did it.' Now, whenever something gets big coverage in the media, whether it be a shooting, a sabotage, or as in this case leaks, the question you should be asking is 'what happened,' because 'it,' has not been established as a factual event. It's only a story presented by the lamestream media who are lying to you 24/7. To assume or believe the premise established by the initial media reports of any event is to build on a foundation of hearsay. Actually, that question should be rephrased as 'did it happen at ALL?' Because we know that it's all theatre and part of their games, rituals, and agendas.
This is important because Controlled Opposition and Shills are always telling you that mainstream media is lying and doing the bidding of the government, but at the same time they run with their stories as if they actually happened, they simply flip the narrative to lure those in who know that the media is lying or twisting the truth.

JOACHIM BARTOLL: "Obvious Impersonators of 'Long-Dead Donald' Dutifully Pushing the CIA-Kushner 'QAnon' Psy-Op"
Ascension Avatar note: The headline (mine) tells what I know, the photos tell what I know… So, people are still following the Jared Kushner's CIA-Anon psyop "Q" breadcrumb bullshit trail… I am posting this for relevancy with the current situation but… Joachim Bartoll believes long-deceased Donald Trump is still alive, not a series of clones, impersonators and deep fake media tricks (to bring on the One World Order). Three years ago, the REAL cancer-riddled Donald Trump was looking like THIS…
Since the old communist counterintelligence 'operation trust' reemerged as the CIA Psy-op "Q" in 2017, with what is most likely Marcus Goldfinch who ultimately will be revealed as 'Q,' Donald Trump has had plausible deniability of his involvement with this fake controlled opposition movement. However, after the new script began on August 16th, with the staged and totally fake raid of his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump has been posting a lot of 'Q' related crap on his Twitter-knockoff, the CIA-controlled platform "Truth Social."
This clearly shows a dramatic change of the story-line… exactly as I wrote in this article… And it also clearly shows that Trump is running with this fake and very controlled narrative as the little sad Zionist and Jesuit puppet that he is.
Remember, the 'Q' or 'QAnon' Psy-Op is all about luring people who are starting to wake up into their parallel reality, and to keep them believing in the beast system, the government, and that all these incredible secret operations is taking place by "White Hats" (Freemasonic pun, as the highest ranked Freemasons can wear 'white hats' instead of purple), and that this is happening "behind the scenes" to combat what they call is the "Deep State," and that everything will be great as long as you trust the plan and do absolutely nothing but being keyboard-warriors and brainwash each other.
Yeah, everything has just been great since 2017. No fake or staged pandemics with people dying from toxic shots or bankruptcy, no staged or fake wars as cover for jacking up the cost of living to extreme heights, no looming energy or food crisis, no further division amongst people and no aggressive 'infodemic' with extreme censorship. No, no, everything is going great! It's getting better by the day. Trust the plan!
Actually, it will eventually get better even if the people do not rise up and form their own communities. Or at least, that will be the illusion with a Universal Basic Income and other incentives to lure you into total enslavement and taking the Mark of the Beast. And I bet the Q'tards will take that as a victory and confirmation that they were "right" all along…
With that said, the most obvious purpose of Q is to label everyone who are seen as a "truther," a "conspiracy theorist" or being "right wing" as extremists nut cases – and thereby labelling anyone who try to expose lies as mentally ill and a danger to society. Also take note that what Trump has been posting on Truth Social is the old phrase "The Storm is Coming," which can be a sign of what many of us has been discussing as it seems like something is planned for late September (around September 24) or early October.
It has also been a really quiet week on the "News" after they announced Queen Elizabeth II as dead. It's like they're holding back on all the fake shit before really slapping us. This could very well be the calm before the storm that will hit us later in September.

KIM GOGUEN: "And Just When You Thought We Were Done with Former (and Dead) President Trump…"
"And just when you thought we were done with former (and dead) President Trump, apparently we're still talking about the Mar-a-Lago raid. During a hearing last Thursday, Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who proved the FBI's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate expressed an inclination to publicly release portions of the affidavit supporting the search, well, by Monday it seems he may have had a slight change of heart. While he reiterated that the affidavit should not be entirely sealed, he backed away from the possibility of a significant release of material. Turns out the public may get partially rejected information, or some but not all the information. This is not unusual. For the team of agency people running the Trump game, it is well known Trump, when alive and president, used to flush documents down the toilet, which then had to be recovered by aides from registration in the archives. Trump also tried to hide where he got funding for the U.S. government as well. Now the agencies are also hiding the fact the president passed months ago of cancer. Third up, he also hid the fact that he too was a member of the Black Suns, and participated in many of the rituals of the secret society. While the alternative media is ablaze with Trump 'saving babies', he in fact had done the exact opposite in these rituals. When does the LIE end? One thing is for sure: the truth always surfaces and whenever 'well-we-know-who-you-are' running that Trump show runs out of lies, they all face some very interesting developments in this world."

Update: I thought about this some more after reading your comments. Here's my revised take.
Some delusional dimwit with a gun went on a shooting rampage yesterday, killing three seniors, one third grader and three others, and shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in the head.
Anyone who points a finger at Sarah Palin for the shooting is equally delusional.
Let me back up by saying I'm not a Palin fan. I see her as an attractive politician who lures in conservatives with her right-wing rhetoric, is missing a few bricks in the ethics department, tends to spew rather than speak, and looks really good in hunting gear. Palin has star appeal, especially for her target crowd. But pointing a finger at her to explain 22-year-old Jared Loughner's deadly shooting spree is both ignorant and dangerous.
The graphic above is the current point of contention for the Palin-did-it'ers. Palin, encouraging Tea Party victories in last year's elections, published it to "target" pro-health care reform Democrats. A proud moose shooter, Palin generally likes to use hunting terms to express her ideology. In that sense, this graphic was business as usual.
But was Palin subliminally encouraging her more trigger-happy followers to actually pull out their pieces, the way a revolutionary would? Hardly, unless you happen to be an obsessed, angry end-of-roper like Loughner. Or if you're a member of the media looking to build up a myth in order to drive traffic.
In the myth lies the problem. Palin et al. like using hunting terminology to further their causes. Judging by her actions, Palin is more interested in legitimate political success (i.e. an election win) than starting a revolution. In that sense, there is no intrinsic controversy.
But if we create one, we empower Palin's more aggressive followers. We create polarity. Those Palin followers who are the most fed up start to own the idea that Palin is more of a revolutionary than she actually is. They take a stance on one side of the fabricated issue.
Liberals, on the other hand, give Palin and all of her followers a more radical and demonized label than they actually deserve. Palin and Tea Partiers become killers by association. Both sides distort the facts to create ideological warfare.
The most intelligent thing anyone can do right now is drop the myth that there was any serious suggestion in Palin's crosshairs ad. Bottom line, it was a hunting analogy that served her audience well, like a niche product. Only the most delusional people–the same ones who think that, say, the UN is trying to control them via implanted transmitters–would see it otherwise.
Let's not popularize this delusion in order to justify more aggression and violence. If we do, we fall into the same dynamic that Sarajevo, Rwanda and many more countries fell victim to before their wars. When it comes to mindless mythology, nobody wins.

Giant Elon Musk head sculpted by B.C. artist part of crypto stunt making international headlines
When a B.C. metal artist was asked to create a giant sculpture with Elon Musk's head on the body of a goat riding a rocket he had no idea who would want to create such a thing or why.
Kevin Stone, who is from Chilliwack, says he was first approached by a designer from California about the massive project last year.
"I thought it was a pretty strange request," he tells CTV News.
"At the time, I didn't know who I was doing the project for. And initially, I actually thought it was Elon."
Stone and his wife estimated sculpting the 50-foot-long chimera would take more than a year. That timeline didn't work for the mystery client, so after some negotiations, Stone committed to making the billionaire's head.
The finished product is about six feet tall by four feet wide, made out of eight-inch thick aluminum and weighing in at over 200 pounds. It took six months to complete.
"I thought it was such a crazy project. I mean, who builds a giant Elon goat riding a rocket. But it was actually a really good learning experience. And a fun project to build. We had a great time building it," Stone says.
And the client? Stone says when it came time to sign the contract he learned it was destined to be part of a marketing stunt for a cryptocurrency company called Elon GOAT.
"They asked me initially if I was interested in crypto, and to be honest with you, I didn't even know what crypto was," Stone recalls.
"And I said, 'No, I only accept cash.'"
The finished head was shipped to the U.S. and the finished sculpture – which was mounted to a trailer hooked up to hydraulics, and equipped with a fuel system that allows the rocket to shoot fire – was dropped off at Tesla's Giga factory in Austin last weekend. The company says the total cost was $600,000.

Since then, it has made international headlines.
The initial plan was for the stunt to take place over the summer, but there were delays. Ultimately, Stone says the timing, which corresponds with Musk's controversial moves since taking over Twitter, has led to even more publicity.
"I'm thrilled. I mean for me, it was a good commission. It was a great challenge to try to create. And then on top of that, I've had nothing but positive publicity for it," Stone says.
"It's been thrilling for me. It brings more awareness to my artwork, so it's been fantastic."

There was a bit of controversy when my name was announced as the 2007 graduation speaker at Stanford University. A few students were especially concerned that I lacked celebrity status; it seemed I wasn't famous enough. I couldn't agree more. As I have often told my wife and children, "I'm simply not famous enough." And that—in a more general and less personal sense—is the subject I wanted to address, the fact that we live in a culture that barely acknowledges and rarely celebrates the arts or artists.
There is an experiment I'd love to conduct. I'd like to survey a cross-section of Americans and ask them how many active NBA players, Major League Baseball players, and American Idol finalists they can name. Then I'd ask them how many living American poets, playwrights, painters, sculptors, architects, classical musicians, conductors, and composers they can name. I'd even like to ask how many living American scientists or social thinkers they can name.
Koufax, most Americans could have named, at the very least, Robert Frost, Carl Sandburg, Arthur Miller, Thornton Wilder, Georgia O'Keeffe, Leonard Bernstein, Leontyne Price, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Not to mention scientists and thinkers like Linus Pauling, Jonas Salk, Rachel Carson, Margaret Mead, and especially Dr. Alfred Kinsey. I don't think that Americans were smarter then, but American culture was. Even the mass media placed a greater emphasis on presenting a broad range of human achievement.
I grew up mostly among immigrants, many of whom never learned to speak English. But at night watching television variety programs like the Ed Sullivan Show or the Perry Como Music Hall, I saw—along with comedians, popular singers, and movie stars—classical musicians like Jascha Heifetz and Arthur Rubinstein, opera singers like Robert Merrill and Anna Moffo, and jazz greats like Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong captivate an audience of millions with their art. The same was even true of literature. I first encountered Robert Frost, John Steinbeck, Lillian Hellman, and James Baldwin on general interest television shows. All of these people were famous to the average American— because the culture considered them important. Today, no working-class or immigrant kid would encounter that range of arts and ideas in the popular culture. Almost everything in our national culture, even the news, has been reduced to entertainment or altogether eliminated.
The loss of recognition for artists, thinkers, and scientists has impoverished our culture in innumerable ways, but let me mention one. When virtually all of a culture's celebrated figures are in sports or entertainment, how few possible role models we offer the young. There are so many other ways to lead a successful and meaningful life that are not denominated by money or fame. Adult life begins in a child's imagination, and we've relinquished that imagination to the marketplace.
Of course, I'm not forgetting that politicians can also be famous, but it is interesting how our political process grows more like the entertainment industry each year. When a successful guest appearance on the Colbert Report becomes more important than passing legislation, democracy gets scary. No wonder Hollywood considers politics "show business for ugly people." Everything now is entertainment. And the purpose of this omnipresent commercial entertainment is to sell us something. American culture has mostly become one vast infomercial.
I have a recurring nightmare. I am in Rome visiting the Sistine Chapel. I look up at Michelangelo's incomparable fresco of the Creation of Man. I see God stretching out his arm to touch the reclining Adam's finger. And then I notice in the other hand Adam is holding a Diet Pepsi.
When was the last time you saw a featured guest on David Letterman or Jay Leno who wasn't trying to sell you something? A new movie, a new television show, a new book, or a new vote? Don't get me wrong. I love entertainment, and I love the free market. I have a Stanford MBA and spent fifteen years in the food industry. I adore my big-screen TV. The productivity and efficiency of the free market is beyond dispute. It has created a society of unprecedented prosperity. But we must remember that the marketplace does only one thing—it puts a price on everything.
The role of culture, however, must go beyond economics. Culture is not focused on the price of things, but on their value. And, above all, it should tell us what is beyond price, including what does not belong in the marketplace. A culture should also provide some cogent view of the good life beyond mass accumulation. In this respect, our culture is failing us.
There is only one social force in America potentially large and strong enough to counterbalance this profit-driven commercialization of cultural values, and that is our educational system—especially public education. Traditionally, education has been one thing that our nation has agreed cannot be left entirely to the marketplace; it must, instead, be made mandatory and freely available to everyone.
At fifty-six, I am just old enough to remember a time when every public high school in this country had a music program with choir and band, usually a jazz band, too, sometimes even orchestra. Every high school offered a drama program, sometimes with dance instruction. And there were writing opportunities in the school paper and literary magazine, as well as studio art training.
I am sorry to say that these programs are no longer widely available to the new generation of Americans. This once visionary and democratic system has been almost entirely dismantled by well-meaning but myopic school boards, county commissioners, and state officials, with the federal government largely indifferent to the issue. Art became an expendable luxury, and fifty million students have paid the price. Today, a child's access to arts education is largely a function of his or her parents' income.
In a time of social progress and economic prosperity, why have we experienced this colossal cultural and political decline? There are several reasons, but I must risk offending many friends and colleagues by saying that surely artists and intellectuals are partly to blame. Most American artists, intellectuals, and academics have lost their ability to converse with the rest of society. We have become wonderfully expert in talking to one another, but we have become almost invisible and inaudible in the general culture. This mutual estrangement has had enormous cultural, social, and political consequences. America needs its artists and intellectuals, and they need to reestablish their rightful place in the general culture. If we could reopen the conversation between our best minds and the broader public, the results would not only transform society but also artistic and intellectual life.
There is no better place to start this rapprochement than in arts education. How do we explain to the larger society the benefits of this civic investment when they have been convinced that the purpose of arts education is mostly to produce more artists—hardly a compelling argument to either the average taxpayer or a financially strapped school board?
We need to create a new national consensus. The purpose of arts education is not to produce more artists, though that is a byproduct. The real purpose of arts education is to create complete human beings who are capable of leading successful and productive lives in a free society. This is not happening now in American schools. Even if you forget the larger catastrophe that only 70 percent of American kids now graduate from high school, what are we to make of a public education system whose highest goal seems to be producing minimally competent entry-level workers?
The situation is a cultural and educational disaster, but it also has huge and alarming economic consequences. If the United States is to compete effectively with the rest of the world in the new global marketplace, it is not going to succeed through cheap labor or cheap raw materials, nor even the free flow of capital or a streamlined industrial base. To compete successfully, this country needs continued creativity, ingenuity, and innovation. It is hard to see those qualities thriving in a nation whose educational system ranks at the bottom of the developed world and has mostly eliminated the arts from the curriculum.
I have seen firsthand the enormous transformative power of the arts—in the lives of individuals, in communities, and even in society at large. Marcus Aurelius believed that the course of wisdom consisted of learning to trade easy pleasures for more complex and challenging ones. I worry about a culture that, bit by bit, trades the challenging pleasures of art for the easy comforts of entertainment. And that is exactly what is happening—not just in the media, but in our schools and in our civic life.
Entertainment promises us a predictable pleasure—humor, thrills, emotional titillation, or even the odd delight of being vicariously terrified. It exploits and manipulates who we are rather than challenges us with a vision of who we might become. A child who spends a month mastering Halo or NBA Live on Xbox has not been awakened and transformed the way that child would be if he or she had spent time rehearsing a play or learning to draw.
If you don't believe me, you should read the statistical studies that are now coming out about American civic participation. Our country is dividing into two distinct behavioral groups. One group spends most of its free time sitting at home as passive consumers of electronic entertainment. Even family communication is breaking down as members increasingly spend their time alone, staring at their individual screens. The other group also uses and enjoys the new technology, but these individuals balance it with a broader range of activities. They go out—to exercise, play sports, volunteer—and they do charity work at about three times the level of the first group. By every measure, they are vastly more active and socially engaged than the first group.
What is the defining difference between passive and active citizens? Curiously, it isn't income, geography, or even education. It depends on whether they read for pleasure and participate in the arts. These cultural activities seem to awaken a heightened sense of individual awareness and social responsibility.
Why do these issues matter to today's students? This is the culture they will enter. During the college years, they have the privilege of being at some of the world's greatest universities—not only studying, but being a part of a community that takes arts and ideas seriously. Even if they spend most of their free time watching Grey's Anatomy, playing Guitar Hero, or Facebooking their friends, those important endeavors are balanced by courses and conversations about literature, politics, technology, and ideas.
Upon graduation, this support system comes to an end. Graduates face the choice of whether they want to be passive consumers or active citizens, whether they want to watch the world on a screen or live in it so meaningfully that they change it. That's no easy task, so we must hope they don't forget what the arts provide.
Art is an irreplaceable way of understanding and expressing the world—equal to but distinct from scientific and conceptual methods. Art addresses us in the fullness of our being—simultaneously speaking to our intellect, emotions, intuition, imagination, memory, and physical senses. There are some truths about life that can be expressed only as stories, or songs, or images. You don't outgrow art. The same work can mean something different at each stage of life. A good book changes as you change.
Art delights, instructs, consoles. It educates our emotions. And it remembers. As Robert Frost once said about poetry, "it is a way of remembering that which it would impoverish us to forget." Art awakens, enlarges, refines, and restores our humanity.
