    The murder of Gaddafi was America going over a line. It's one thing to assassinate your own leader's, (Kennedy) but its another thing to go around murdering leaders of other countries (not that they haven't done it before..but this was blatant). Now, every leader in any country is under threat to die as horrible a death as Gaddafi (because every leader of every country including America has "rebels" of some sort). Everyone with any intelligence can see the threat. They will all have to arm themselves now. Its a disaster.

    Even those paying are on borrowed time.

    I think the best thing American's can do to save themselves is to get rid of their financial system and fast.

    The weeds from elsewhere will spread their seeds and then before you know it, your garden will be full of weeds again.
    The ONLY solution is that weeds worldwide are finished with.
    Otherwise, it is just a matter of time.

    As you say maybe yes, maybe not.
    They are the actors, they came to show us how important is tolerance, solidarity and love.
    If they know this is only a play, they wouldn't kill, t's one of the most important premisses in the Universe to respect life, any life.
    Line 4, I think you're right, yes.
    I strongly believe that what we came to learn is how to love. so in the end stepping to the other side, the expansion of their consciousness will tekll them where they failed and submit their life to material of all kind, and they will select by their own choice some very hard experience for their futur life, to try to overcome the errors made.
    As we all are here for the same reason, again I think you are in the same line as I.
    Doing things considered ''evil'' or ''bad'' such as killing would be something they HAVE to do.
    That is one thing guaranteed to hit peoples hot buttons, thereby fulfilling the catalyst role.
    I am convinced that there is always a choice. You are not forced by anyone or anything to kill, you can always decide not to. Killing to solve the problem is very common for the so called young souls, the recently ascended from the animal world who are full of fear and the self preserving instinct tells them that the physical elimination is the thing. The egoism in this state is so strong that considering the fact that we are all one just doesn't fit in their thinking patterns. Over the thousands of years of evolution we learn little by little the real purpose, which is see the other as your own image in a mirror. What do you think.

    The reason I said have to do that, is that there are so many people who refuse to leave their comfort zones, that extreme measures are almost all that works now.
    For example, September 11 when viewed as a nudge, to get people to sit up and take notice shows you how much people are stuck in their comfort zones.
    I didn't explain all that in my post, hence you didn't get what I meant.
    I sometimes forget that I know what I mean, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you avalonuggets do too.

    It's very interesting that the first thing these 'freedom fighters' and 'rebels' who overthrew Gaddafi wanted to do was to set up a central bank...That's usually not such a key part of your standard 'rebel's' agenda.....The slogan doesn't even work. "Liberty!.... Equality!... and.....A Centralized Debt-based banking institution!"

    Another thing Gaddafi did was to explain to his people exactly what was going on. You know, he didn't tell them stupid things like "the Americans are Satan". He didn't feed them media garbage like we get here. He told them the truth, so they would know it. This is important. I have observed that middle eastern people also are generally educated about the mechanism of the world problems. The same in South America, Russian, parts of Asia. Even the Europeans are fairly well educated about the issues. It's mostly us, in North America and England who are like children when it comes to this stuff. We are the ones who are the most ignorant, brainwashed and dangerous in the world - except North Korea and Israel (although I understand there is at least a little push on in Israel to educate people). Hence we project ourselves onto others and think that THEY are dangerous. Really, its us. (I don't know much about the Chinese, but I assume they are manipulated as we are. But they don't seem to have a government that is interested in taking over the world..yet, anyway).

    The other thing Gaddafi did was to improve the status of women in Libya. That is now down the toilet.

    This is probably the best thread on PA for a very long time. LS, you should write a book on the subject, or sit in front of a camcorder and tell it how it was and is. It is obvious most of us here do not have knowledge as deeply as you do. Imagine how it is for most of the world population. The whole world needs educating.

    Please, LS, do this.

    Yes. But we need to stop thinking about this as "America" crossing the line. It the power that has commandeered America that has crossed the line. This power is fully anti-American; it occupies America, and has, for all intents and purposes, conquered America and her people. It has waged a psy-ops war against the American people as it pillages the wealth of the country and has its way with America's institutions and powerful military, so to have its way with the rest of the world.

    Sorry for posting this, but it is what is going on.

    "The mainstream US media has reacted to Muammar Gaddafi's brutal lynching with a tidal wave of cheers and approval, trumpeting the Colonel's death as the start of a new era for Libya."

    That's the thing - I don't think people can wake up at this time - there's too much outside control - most of which we're not even aware of. We don't know that there aren't satellites out there specifically using technologies to blanket mind-control us. Even when it's "in-your-face", people aren't "getting it".

    I'm presonally waiting for the ptb to slip up. They're getting *WAY* too big for their boots... so far they've been allowed to get away with what they have done, but there will come a time - soon I believe - where they won't. And then it will be "on for young and old".... then, my friends, things will become interesting (Let's just say I have had dreams of a "war in heaven", and we wouldn't be in any more danger than we are now.).

    And before you guys even start, it's not about being "saved".... What's to say you're not being mind controlled to think that it is? What's to say we aren't being conditioned to reject any help in this matter that we are offered? Do you really think we can do this "on our own"? Are you even so sure of yourself to dare state that you know how deep the rabbit hole **REALLY** goes??? Because I'm betting however deep I think it goes, times that by a hefty number. And even then you'd probably only be getting close.

    I think the world knows this. We have to remember that we are the ones who get the least information of anyone...except North Korea, Israel and China...there are probably others. But I know that people in the middle east, the ones I have met anyway, are well informed and know it is the government not us.

    But that wont help if we end up in WWIII.

    This goes beyond "America". It's a world thing, and I wish you guys would stop being so America-centric. They occupy every country of the world, and use the armies of the world as their pawns to do their bidding. America just so happens to be the most powerful army of the western world - or at least the most visible...

    Blaming 'America' or even 'The West' is nonsense. We're a hollowed out husk and a 'former' culture. Most of our spirit has been evacuated. It still looks like we're walking and talking but we're really only shuffling along blankly like zombies playing host to the parasite that drives us.

    Thank you very much for that compliment, much appreciated.
    I have admired much about the Colonel for many years, so this whole situation is very disappointing to me, in one way.
    In another way, in the big picture, with all the good things he did, he may not have to return to ''make up'' any more karma.
    I have six pages of a tribute to him in my workshop in november.
    Many people think of the Colonel as mad, a terrorist and the rest.
    Again, I don't claim he is perfect or an angel, but I would rather have him run my homeland than the sharmouta that runs it now.
    Sharmouta is arabic for whore. Unlike a prostitute, political whores sell their souls, not their bodies and whomever bids the highest is who they serve.
    I can't and won't respect that.
    I have had a very deep interest and love for the middle east since I was a child.
    Now, after letting go of the hatred I had of the jews, that has now expanded to include their language, their nation and their culture too.
    All I want is a time where the conflicts on this planet, our home, cease and we can all have a life.
    A life that doesn't consist of crap like working for some paltry sum per hour and being ''paid'' with some fiat currency communism.
    A life that doesn't see families put the bills before the good of their members.
    A life where $ doesn't mean that the planet has to suffer.
    I think you guys get where I am going with this.
    I now know who and what I am, and why I came back here.

    Blaming 'America' or even 'The West' is nonsense. We're a hollowed out husk and a 'former' culture. Most of our spirit has been evacuated. It still looks like we're walking and talking but we're really only shuffling along blankly like zombies playing host to the parasite that drives us.
    Yes and no.
    Yes, what we were is gone.
    No, it isn't them alone, we allowed this.
    We can't continue to shift the blame.
    Most of us do nothing about the crimes we see, thereby becoming part of it.
    Remember, without us, there are no soldiers, no police, no fighter pilots and the rest.
    If every single thrall stood up tomorrow and said NO!
    What then?
    We are part of the problem and by the gods, we BETTER be part of the solution!

    LS, I forgive myself for allowing this because it was allowed in ignorance of truth. We all believed in a system that we were educated to trust.
    NOW WE HAVE TO LEARN TO SAY "NO", and quickly.

    This is probably the best thread on PA for a very long time. LS, you should write a book on the subject, or sit in front of a camcorder and tell it how it was and is. It is obvious most of us here do not have knowledge as deeply as you do. Imagine how it is for most of the world population. The whole world needs educating.

    Please, LS, do this.
    Thank you very much for that compliment, much appreciated.
    I have admired much about the Colonel for many years, so this whole situation is very disappointing to me, in one way.
    In another way, in the big picture, with all the good things he did, he may not have to return to ''make up'' any more karma.
    I have six pages of a tribute to him in my workshop in november.
    Many people think of the Colonel as mad, a terrorist and the rest.
    Again, I don't claim he is perfect or an angel, but I would rather have him run my homeland than the sharmouta that runs it now.
    Sharmouta is arabic for whore. Unlike a prostitute, political whores sell their souls, not their bodies and whomever bids the highest is who they serve.
    I can't and won't respect that.
    I have had a very deep interest and love for the middle east since I was a child.
    Now, after letting go of the hatred I had of the jews, that has now expanded to include their language, their nation and their culture too.
    All I want is a time where the conflicts on this planet, our home, cease and we can all have a life.
    A life that doesn't consist of crap like working for some paltry sum per hour and being ''paid'' with some fiat currency communism.
    A life that doesn't see families put the bills before the good of their members.
    A life where $ doesn't mean that the planet has to suffer.
    I think you guys get where I am going with this.
    I now know who and what I am, and why I came back here.
    Showing people things that make them think and empower themselves is part of that.

    I agree that we have a responsibility to end this, and that it is within our power, albeit at great personal risk, to bring in a new system. And that waking up out of our zombie stupor is required of us at this moment in history. We should never shirk this responsibility. But neither should we believe that it is in any large measure 'our fault.' Our responsibility, yes. Our fault, no. No more than an abused child is at fault for being abused. At some point it is that child's responsibility to grow up, leave that abuse behind and start fresh, with all of the wounds still there. But it shouldn't be said that it was that child's fault for having been mistreated. This analogy isn't perfect, I'll freely admit. But, we must not feel as though we had any of this coming. It has, to a large extent, been put upon us. Nevertheless. It is our right, our privilege and our responsibility to change the whole reality once and for all...
