    Greetings

    The latest from James ~ who's in Hawaii attending a conference.

    Solar Storm

    "Yesterday we were traveling around the big island of Hawaii and we both felt and
    intense energy coming in. It was almost nausiating. It subsided later after we
    left that side of the volcano. The magnetics of the volcano in that area along
    with the solar flare was instense. Scientists say the next big eruption will be
    on the Kona side. Might be a good place to do some ceremony."

    Fighting to Save the Family Farm!

    Dec

    USDA Certified Organic's Dirty Little Secret: Neotame

    By Barbara H. Peterson
    Farm Wars
    Just when we thought that buying "Organic" was safe, we run headlong into the
    deliberate poisoning of our organic food supply by the FDA in collusion with
    none other than the folks who brought us Aspartame. NutraSweet, a former
    Monsanto asset, has developed a new and improved version of this neurotoxin
    called Neotame.
    Neotame has similar structure to aspartame — except that, from it's structure,
    appears to be even more toxic than aspartame. This potential increase in
    toxicity will make up for the fact that less will be used in diet drinks. Like
    aspartame, some of the concerns include gradual neurotoxic and immunotoxic
    damage from the combination of the formaldehyde metabolite (which is toxic at
    extremely low doses) and the excitotoxic amino acid. (Holisticmed.com)
    But surely, this product would be labeled! NOT SO!!! For this little gem, no
    labeling required. And it is even included in USDA Certified Organic food.
    The food labeling requirements required for aspartame have now been dropped for
    Neotame, and no one is clear why this was allowed to happen. Neotame has been
    ruled acceptable, and without being included on the list of ingredients, for:
    USDA Certified Organic food items.
    Certified Kosher products with the official letter k inside the circle on
    labels. (Janet Hull)
    Let me make this perfectly clear. Neotame does not have to be included in ANY
    list of ingredients! So, if you buy processed food, whether USDA Certified
    Organic or not, that food most likely will contain Neotame because it is
    cost-effective, and since no one knows it is there, there is no public backlash
    similar to what is happening with Aspartame. A win/win situation!
    But that's not all. Just love chowing down on that delicious steak? Well, that
    cow most likely will have been fed with feed containing…..you guessed
    it…..Neotame! A product called "Sweetos," which is actually composed of Neotame,
    is being substituted for molasses in animal feed.
    "Sweetos is an economical substitute for molasses. Sweetos guarantees the
    masking of unpleasant tastes and odor and improves the palatability of feed.
    This product will be economical for farmers and manufacturers of cattle feed. It
    can also be used in mineral mixture," said Craig Petray, CEO, The NutraSweet
    Company, a division of Searle, which is a part of Monsanto. (Bungalow Bill)
    Why would we feed animals food that is so distasteful that we would have to mask
    the unpleasantness with an artificial sweetener? Most animals will not eat
    spoiled, rancid feed. They know by the smell that it is not good. Enter Sweetos
    (Neotame). Just cover up the unpleasant tastes and odors, and you can feed them
    anything you want to, courtesy of the oh, so considerate folks at Monsanto and
    company.
    But of course, Monsanto is no longer associated with NutraSweet. In the
    time-honored tradition of covering its assets, Monsanto has a proven track
    record of spinning off controversial portions of its company that generate too
    much scrutiny, such as it did with the Solutia solution.
    Says the Farm Industry News, "Monsanto, which has long resided in the crosshairs
    of public scorn and scrutiny, appears to have dodged at least one bullet by
    spinning off its industrial chemical business into a separate entity called
    Solutia a couple of years ago. Solutia has since been hammered by lawsuits
    regarding PCB contamination from what were once called Monsanto chemical plants
    in Alabama and other states" (Source Watch)
    So what is the solution to this problem? Buy local organic food, know your local
    farmer, and don't buy processed foods whether they are labeled "Organic" or not.
    This requires a drastic change in lifestyle that most will not want to make. For
    those who choose to ride the wheel of chance by succumbing to this genocidal
    adulteration of our food supply by those who stand to profit from our sickness
    and early demise, my only comment is….it is your choice. But for those of us who
    have decided to fight this battle one bite at a time by hitting these sociopaths
    in the pocketbook where it hurts……viva la revolucion!

    Bracco and the Earth Transformation Conference, Hawaii

    By James Gilliland

    "The Earth Transformation Conference went extremely well. The photos of the
    masters appearing at ECETI ranch along with the UFO pictures and video were well
    received. The following workshop doubled in expected attendance where those who
    attended had first hand experience with the masters and ultradimensionals.
    People were laughing out of control when Cazekiel, God of eternal bliss brought
    his presence into the room. Both Marys Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene warmed and
    brought tears to peoples hearts. I never know how an event will turn out, who
    will be there ahead of time and because there was such an awesome group
    consciousness the highest masters came. Kwan Yin also put in an appearance and
    for those who could see many local spirits also came to the event, Hawaiian and
    Native American. Txosamarra an ancient master who often gives spot on prophecy
    touched the hearts of everyone. Aches and pains miraculously disappeared with
    many people and we made a lot of new friends. The love and joy; which filled the
    room was felt by all even a few skeptics. All the speakers were great and you
    can find out more at, http://earthtransformation.com/

    Now for the main question everyone has been asking. What did I think about
    Bracco. For those who do not know who Braco is we will provide a link,
    http://earthtransformation.com/ , but in short he gazes at the audience from
    stage upon which magic seems to happen. My experience was verified by several
    others in detail as to his shape shifting and a warm energy exuded from each
    face. I saw his master teacher appear overlaying him while he was gazing. I also
    saw the face of Jesus and felt the presence along with receiving my inner
    signals of his presence. In my opinion he is a clear channel for some very sweet
    Christed energy. I watched his aura turn gold, the room was filled with a misty
    white energy which had a profound effect on many within the crowd. Those who
    were open to receiving, received and it seemed directly proportionate to their
    ability to receive. The energies had an effect on everyone yet we all know some
    will have to face their ignorance, denials and judgments before they are ready
    to receive.

    I watched the majority of the people experience a healing, lifting effect. After
    the gazing session I watched a few go through their denials, projections and try
    to dismiss Braco altogether. I just smiled and told them you get what you
    brought to the party. Having a booth at the event I had the luxury of several
    gazing sessions. The last session I saw one of the 6th dimensional felines
    overlay Bracco. The man next to me saw it as well. These are very powerful
    loving joyous extremely advanced beings. I had to ask myself was this one of
    those AS You Wish God programs; you get what you desire or see what you desire
    to see? Then the man next to me saw the same thing as well as others. Maybe I
    wanted them to see it too. As I am typing this I have a big ear to ear smile
    watching my head try to make sense out of all of this. All I can say is healings
    occurred, the majority of the people walked out peaceful and serene and the
    energy was very familiar like reconnecting with a long lost brother. There are
    many healers and teachers that have a hard time giving credit where credit is
    due. I am not one of them.

    Be well, James Gilliland

    The dvds will be available for all the presenters and their workshops in about a
    week. Dont miss the ECETI workshop it is life changing. Bracco videos are also
    available."

    #5755

    Ron Paul & Chemtrails


    "The time has come to exercise our rights, secure our liberty, and Regain our
    freedom."


    A Congressman Ron Paul supporter is in Washington, D.C. to attend a meeting
    tomorrow 1/5/11 in Congressman Paul's Office regarding
    "The Planetary Population Protection & Atmospheric Air Purity Act."

    The topic of discussion about geoengineering weather programs/chemtrails is
    below and attached.



    Please contact Ron Paul's office at :
    https://forms.house.gov/paul/webform...subscribe.html

    Or call toll free 1-866-220-0044 if you would like a Committee set up to
    investigate this issue or would like to submit your comments.

    You can make a difference if you take action now!




    Whitepaper Proposed by Ron Paul Advisor




    THE PLANETARY POPULATION PROTECTION &
    ATMOSPHERIC AIR PURITY ACT

    "Henceforth, from the passage of this Bill, all spraying of Aerosols,
    Gases, and/or Metal Particulates (whether they be considered toxic or
    not) into the atmosphere over any portion of the United States or its
    terrorities shall be considered a crime against all the people of this
    Nation. The preservation of this Planet depends upon the air that we
    breathe. It must remain pristine and pure. Therefore, committing any
    Acts of Atmospheric Poisoning shall be considered a crime punishable by Death or
    Life Imprisonment without possibility of parole.

    Within seven days after this Law is enacted, the Congress shall
    instruct the United States Air Force to shoot down any plane from any
    Nation flying over the United States or its territories that violate
    this Act. Considering the fact that millions of tons of Aerosols which
    are now determined to contain Aluminum Oxide, Barium, Strontium, and
    Sulphur Hexafluoride Toxins appear to have been already sprayed upon
    the population of this country, Great Britain, Canada, Ireland and
    other nations on Earth. One can only conclude, without evidence to the
    contrary, that these horrendous crimes of astronomical proportions have already
    been committed against us.

    It would appear that the Money Monarchy that rules the United States &
    Great Britain has declared War upon Mother Earth and the people who
    inhabit this Planet. It has become clearly evident that this "Cabal of
    Criminals" (that create our currency & control our commerce) has
    determined that 90% of the Earth's population are expendable and merely "Useless
    Eaters"…and are to be terminated to clear the land for the Elite (See Georgia
    Guidestones for clarification).

    The fact is, that we have been, and are now being bombarded with Toxic
    Particulates from the air above us. This is Fact - not Fiction & we're paying
    for it. It is killing our birds, our fish, our trees, the
    animals that live on the land and the sea mammals in the waters that
    surround us. This "dumping of poisonous toxins" upon our people is
    bringing about Alzheimer's, Autism, & Respiratory diseases to this
    Nation as never seen before. We are witnessing an Act of Treason - the
    size of which has never been experienced in the history of the World.
    The life of every living creature on this Planet is literally at stake.

    Our right as a people to protect ourselves from any Predator,
    President, or Politician as guaranteed in our Declaration of
    Independence has not changed. It has not been extinguished. It has not been
    amended. Regardless of how many legions of lawyers have levied laws upon us in
    an attempt to repeal our rights to protect ourselves ROM them, our right of self
    determination, life & liberty remain.

    What we are witnessing with the Aerosol "Death Dumps" that are dropping upon our
    people each day is most evident. War against the people of this Planet has been
    declared. The goal of these Globalists is to radically reduce the population of
    the Planet. This has been planned
    for well over a century and is now being perpetrated by
    Malthusian-Minded-Men like David Rockefeller, Jacques Cousteau,
    Bertrand Russell, Zbignew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Prince Philip &
    the Rothschilds to kill off 9 out of 10 people now living on this
    Planet, and to establish Global Government under a New World Order.
    The current method of their madness is to make the air unsafe to
    breathe and the water too toxic to drink.

    The crimes against our country are now so intolerable that it has
    become necessary that We, the People, conduct an independent
    investigation. It must be both private and apart from all Government
    Courts and their Alphabet Agencies. They can't be trusted to
    investigate themselves and try their own criminals. These hearings
    will be conducted to consider the removal of both the elected and
    selected "Leaders," who have allowed these atmospheric crimes to be
    perpetrated upon the innocent, ignorant & unsuspecting amongst our
    society .

    If it is found in our investigations that "beyond all doubt," there is
    a War for the World that is being carried on upon us and all living
    things on this Mother Earth - we are left no other choice or option,
    but to demand that the individuals who are responsible for this crime
    be brought to trial for crimes against humanity. This must be done by
    Courts of our own making with Judges and Jurors constituted by We, the People,
    of the United States of America and not by those who are
    attempting to establish a New World Order upon the Death of our
    Sovereignty.

    The time has come that it is now necessary to invoke the Declaration of
    Independence and reinstate its guarantees for the protection of our
    Citizens with regard to the crimes that have been and are now being
    committed by Agents and Apparatchiks of this Criminal Cartel that are
    conducting these atmospheric atrocities upon our people.

    Our Declaration of Independence clearly states: "That whenever any
    Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right
    of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
    Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its
    powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their
    Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments
    long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
    and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more
    disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right
    themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But
    when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the
    same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is
    their right , it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new
    Guards for their future security."

    Thanks for the video. I saw many ships in a single sighting in '84. about 15 of them, an up much closer than these. There are people out there who are capable of calling them in and they take others to see... and this is sort of how it came to me.

    I am wondering Giovonni, how much does it cost to spend a night at the Ranch? Can you only go during a seminar? I really want my husband to see! Are there ship sightings almost every night? What about camp grounds nearby that would have about the same sky view?

    Greeting's Arrowwind,

    Thanks for the inquiry, please note i do not speak for James or Eceti, but will pass on general info to you...The Ranch is very affordable and James and the Eceti Family are wonderful host. Yes you can visit and stay without attending any special event (seminar-meditations). Rooms and camping are available (usually) by making reservations. There are several other lodging facilities close by ~ but the "experience" is too be at the "Field of Dreams." Note the Ranch is closed (now) during the winter months, and will probably reopen to the public in the Spring 2011 depending on the weather conditions. Always check the weather forecast prior to visit (if camping). Please go to the Eceti link and checkout for yourself ~ http://www.eceti.org/Eceti.IndexII.html

    i can tell this ~ those that are drawn to the Ranch (for what ever reason), usually never leave disappointed

    #5758"Everlasting Battery"


    A battery operates continuously in Romanian museum since 1950

    by Terrence Aym
    For more than three centuries inventors—usually crackpots—have sought the
    elusive fantasy of a perpetual motion machine.

    Now investigators of an amazing object stuck in the dusty corners of an obscure
    Romanian museum may have found the next best thing: a perpetual battery. Whether
    a battery that has operated continuously since 1950 without a recharge can be
    termed perpetual may be open to debate, yet the fact remains that the remarkable
    device has never ceased working and doesn't look like it's about to give up the
    ghost anytime soon. The battery that's been pumping out electricity faithfully
    for 60 years was built by Vasile Karpen.

    Karpen's Pile

    The director of the Dimitrie Leonida National Technical Museum in Romania,
    Nicolae Diaconescu, when interviewed about the battery by the Romanian
    newspaper, ZIUA (The Day) said, "I admit it's also hard for me to advance the
    idea of an overunity generator without sounding ridiculous, even if the object
    exists."

    That the battery—called "Karpen's Pile"—exists is indisputable.

    When Karpen built the battery he claimed it would function forever. Although
    decades ago engineers and physicists that studied it believed it would stop
    working soon it never has stopped. Those engineers and physicists are now long
    dead, but the amazing "perpetual" battery keeps humming along.

    Patented in 1922, most scientists that have studied it over the ensuing decades
    cannot fathom exactly how or why it works.

    The Karpen's pile that sits in the director's office at the museum was a
    prototype built to Karpen's specifications. It has two series-connected electric
    piles that move a small galvanometric motor. That motor spins a blade that's
    connected to a switch. Every half rotation the blade opens and then closes the
    circuit during the second half of the rotation. According to some engineers that
    have analyzed the ingenious device, the blade's rotation is exactly timed to
    allow the piles to recharge themselves and re-establish their polarity before
    the next rotation of the blade.

    ZIUA also reported that a measurement of the current established a steady one
    volt output—exactly the same as when the battery was first activated in 1950.

    During the interview with the newspaper, Diaconescu added that "unlike the
    lessons they teach you in the 7th grade physics class, the 'Karpen's Pile' has
    one of its electrodes made of gold, the other of platinum, and the electrolyte
    (the liquid that the two electrodes are immersed in), is high-purity sulfuric
    acid."

    The museum director also asserted the battery could be made larger to produce
    more power.

    "The French showed themselves very interested by this patrimonial object in the
    70s," Diaconescu said, "and wanted to take it. Our museum has been able to keep
    it, though. As time passed, the fact that the battery doesn't stop producing
    energy is more and more clear, giving birth to the legend of a perpetual motion
    machine."Recently, some leading European electrical engineers proposed that the
    device creates power by converting heat into mechanical energy. Diaconescu
    doesn't agree.

    The fascination over Karpen's Pile is fed by the possible physics behind it.
    Some who have studied the theory Karpen created explaining the functionality of
    his battery believe the engineer's device violates the Second Law of
    Thermodynamics. Others scoff at that, but then go on to argue that it may well
    be an application of the physics inherent in drawing power from the theoretical
    "Zero Point," thus making it a Zero Point Energy device.

    Whatever the cause, understanding the driving principle underlying Karpen's Pile
    might revolutionize both physics and the search for alternative energy sources.
    And it certainly puts to shame the Energizer Bunny.

    While living in the state of Washington in 2002 my son and I were driving home from a soccer game, it was very dark and we were taking a back road home, I noticed a series of 10 or so lights in a circular pattern up in the sky, strange enough to make me want to pull to the side of the road and stop to look up and watch, it hovered above us. I finally said to my son who was 12 years old at the time, "what is that?" He looked at me and in a very matter of fact manner said, " it's a UFO!" We sat and watched it for a few moments then it disappeared in an instant. He is now 20 and still remembers. I am glad he was with me to clarify what it was. Too I come from a small town in Indiana and one of my extended family members who is now in his late 80’s was stationed at Roswell NM in 1947 he has just now talked about seeing the bodies. He has been afraid to say anything all this time out of fear. Some of his buddies who did speak of it had disappeared. He still refuses to talk to anyone other than his wife about this. No doubt in my mind that we have had and will continue to have visitors!

    #5758"Everlasting Battery"


    A battery operates continuously in Romanian museum since 1950

    ZIUA also reported that a measurement of the current established a steady one
    volt output—exactly the same as when the battery was first activated in 1950.

    Whatever the cause, understanding the driving principle underlying Karpen's Pile
    might revolutionize both physics and the search for alternative energy sources.
    And it certainly puts to shame the Energizer Bunny.
    anyone ever figure the amperage on it?
    Is there a net energy output to actually run a machine or light?
    Havin enough energy to sustain itself is not sufficient.. it must produce more... it must output.... and if it did then we would really be talking .... plus it would make the value of my silver and gold go way way up!

    latest from James newsletter ~ 5774 "The Beginning"

    KANNER: Shasta and Goliath: Bringing Down Corporate Rule
    Wed, 12/29/2010
    By:
    Allen D. Kanner
    Tikkun

    Mt. Shasta, a small northern California town of 3,500 residents nestled in the foothills of magnificent Mount Shasta, is taking on corporate power through an unusual process—democracy.

    The citizens of Mt. Shasta have developed an extraordinary ordinance, set to be voted on in the next special or general election, that would prohibit corporations such as Nestle and Coca-Cola from extracting water from the local aquifer. But this is only the beginning. The ordinance would also ban energy-giant PG&E, and any other corporation, from regional cloud seeding, a process that disrupts weather patterns through the use of toxic chemicals such as silver iodide. More generally, it would refuse to recognize corporate personhood, explicitly place the rights of community and local government above the economic interests of multinational corporations, and recognize the rights of nature to exist, flourish, and evolve.

    Mt. Shasta is not alone. Rather, it is part of a (so far) quiet municipal movement making its way across the United States in which communities are directly defying corporate rule and affirming the sovereignty of local government.

    Since 1998, more than 125 municipalities have passed ordinances that explicitly put their citizens' rights ahead of corporate interests, despite the existence of state and federal laws to the contrary. These communities have banned corporations from dumping toxic sludge, building factory farms, mining, and extracting water for bottling. Many have explicitly refused to recognize corporate personhood. Over a dozen townships in Pennsylvania, Maine, and New Hampshire have recognized the right of nature to exist and flourish (as Ecuador just did in its new national constitution). Four municipalities, including Halifax in Virginia, and Mahoney, Shrewsbury, and Packer in Pennsylvania, have passed laws imposing penalties on corporations for chemical trespass, the involuntary introduction of toxic chemicals into the human body.

    These communities are beginning to band together. When the attorney general of Pennsylvania threatened to sue Packer Township this year for banning sewage sludge within its boundaries, six other Pennsylvania towns adopted similar ordinances and twenty-three others passed resolutions in support of their neighboring community. Many people were outraged when the attorney general proclaimed, "there is no inalienable right to local self-government."

    Bigger cities are joining the fray. In Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, council member Doug Shields announced this August that he is about to introduce a bill banning corporations in the city from drilling for natural gas, an environmentally devastating practice known as "fracking." As Shields stated in a press release, "Many people think that this is only about gas drilling. It's not—it's about our authority as a municipal community to say 'no' to corporations that will cause damage to our community. It's about our right to community, [to] local self-government."

    What has driven these communities to such radical action? The typical story involves a handful of local citizens deciding to oppose a corporate practice, such as toxic sludge dumping, which has taken a huge toll on the health, economy, and natural surroundings of their town. After years of fighting for regulatory change, these citizens discover a bitter truth: the U.S. environmental regulatory system consists of a set of interlocking state and federal laws designed by industry to serve corporate interests. With the deck utterly stacked against them, communities are powerless to prevent corporations from destroying the local environment for the sake of profit.

    Enter the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, a nonprofit public interest law firm that champions a different approach. The firm helps communities draft local ordinances that place the rights of municipalities to govern themselves above corporate rights. Through its Democracy School, which offers seminars across the United States, it provides a detailed analysis of the history of corporate law and environmental regulation that shows a need for a complete overhaul of the system. Armed with this knowledge and with their well-crafted ordinances, citizens are able to return to their communities to begin organizing for the passage of laws such as Mt. Shasta's proposed ordinance.

    The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund is collaborating with Global Exchange, an international environmental and workers' rights organization, to help supporters of the Mt. Shasta ordinance organize. In an interview for this article, I asked Shannon Biggs, who directs Global Exchange's Community Rights Program, if she expected ordinances of this type to be upheld in court. Biggs was dubious about judges "seeing the error of their ways" and reversing a centuries-old trend in which courts grant corporations increased power. Rather, she sees these ordinances as powerful educational and organizing tools that can lead to the major changes necessary to reduce corporate power, put decision-making back in the hands of real people rather than corporate "persons," and open up whole new areas of rights, such as those of ecosystems and natural communities. Biggs connects the current municipal defiance of existing state and federal law to a long tradition of civil disobedience in the United States, harkening back to Susan B. Anthony illegally casting her ballot, the Underground Railroad flouting slave laws, and civil rights protesters purposely breaking segregation laws.

    But the nascent municipal rights movement offers something new in the way of political action. These communities are adopting laws that, taken together, are forming an alternative structure to the global corporate economy. The principles behind these laws can be applied broadly to any area where corporate rights override local self-government or the well-being of the local ecology. The best place to start, I would suggest, is with banning corporations from making campaign contributions to local elections.

    The municipal movement could provide one of the most effective routes to building nationwide support for an Environmental and Social Responsibility Amendment to the U.S. Constitution of the kind proposed by Tikkun. In fact, the movement is already expanding. In Pennsylvania people are now organizing on the state level. Similar stirrings have been reported in New Hampshire.

    What about your community?

    I would hope that this community environmental legal defence project has the forsight to prevent the purchase and control of water rights by corporate interests... some corporate interests are seeking and have purchased whole aquafurs I have been told, so far mostly in other nations. I am not real up on this topic but have seen it discussed in differetn organizations and fourms.

    I like to see communities striving to maintain jurisdiction within their own backyards.. this is extremely important.

    On the other hand corporations are not the only culprits here. The United Nations have published manuals called "Agenda 21" that me thinks is a doorway to NWO control of natural resouces as well as a plan for depopulating water shed areas and fully making them unusable to ANYONE!
