Curse of a Criminal Nation by Frank Lavoie

The Big Curse of America : 500 years of terrorism on 500 nations- is an end to it near?
    We ask first if you saw the PBS special on Kit Carson before launching this essay, or are familiar with the series 500 Nations, or How the West Was Lost. Please bear such American History in mind, in that we wish to merely suggest a perspective to be pondered or used to illuminate the current situation, including Kosovo independence- in the light of some reports that part of the opium marketing interests in addition to the CIA's regional instability services section, have been fingered in the apparently manipulated controversy within and outside of Serbia.
{Yes, the list has grown since this was written for Republic Broadcasting in Spring, 2008}
 That isn't to say that other correlations are not also intended.
    When we use Google Earth to get a view of places in the news, or of our own neighborhoods, we enjoy the familiar recognizable landscape from a new perspective. We know exactly what we are looking at, even if we are seeing it now from a point of view where we know it's impossible for us to stand. The places we walk, thinking we know well how straight the path may be, is revealed in all its bends and curves. What seemed a mountain when we climbed it is now shown realistically a hill. Likewise, the topography, the geology of the land, exists without boundaries.The subject is more than an imaginary line on the ground.
The rock under all our feet sets the course of rivers and the range of mountains, no matter who draws a boundary around the resources, at the convenience of the times and the politicians. Whole nations change hands among global corporate tides of fortune; Whole populations and the natural resources at their feet are fought over by others far away. Oil fields, pipelines, mines, private and public properties are traded for favors, or traded as favors among politicians & "leaders" who care not where we stand, what we stand for, or what piece of Earth upon which we wish to stay.

    1860: Gen. Canby waged war against the Navajo indiscriminately, or more accurately, with great discrimination. Typical to the 'manifest destiny' mindset of divide, conquer, and plunder, many 'battles' were won but never the 'war'. In efforts to bring an endless campaign to a 'successful' close, Canby & others negotiated "Peace" on their terms in treaties they drafted & imposed upon the native landholders. In most cases, troops were withdrawn immediately upon effect of the 'treaties', leaving open opportunities for revenge by displaced & disenfranchised survivors of the raids, battles, and trick treaties. It didn't mean widespread bad faith on either side to live in peace, though not necessarily among each other- the sides were trapped in an armistice which was neither dependable nor enforceable. The general lack of any central authority remaining in the scattered tribes left even the great Navajo Nation fragmented. Among both settlers and natives, many families and groups conducted themselves individually and independently. Peace itself is not neccessarily free of theft, murder, depredations, or hostilities within or between groups; they continue with or without a 'peace treaty', with or without war, or the presence of force.
    So it is possible, even today, to see worthless treaties and false peace again predicated as it was in 1863 by General Carleton in New Mexico. [June 15th] "For a long time past the 'indians' have murdered and robbed the people of New Mexico...they were warned & told to inform their people that for these murders & robberies The Tribe Must Be Punished, unless some binding guarantees should be given that in the future these outrages should cease...additional murders & additional robberies have been perpetrated upon the persons & properties of our un-offending citizens...it is therefor ordered...to prosecute a vigorous war upon the men of the tribe...until it is considered at this headquarters that they have been effectively punished for their long-term atrocities."
    The order went out to kill all male resistors, to capture all the women and children, and of course, TO TAKE all their LANDS in the process. To control the looting, Carleton offered $20 for each captured Navajo mule or horse, $1 for each sheep. "Volunteers" roamed the country destroying crops, orchards, and gardens, stealing livestock for Carleton. "This way will be pursued against you if it takes years, now that we have begun, until you cease to exist or move. There can be no other talk on the subject." From their point of view, the aim was to END 180 YEARS OF WAR with the Native Americans- not to live in peace.
    Using Divide & Conquer strategies continued through 1882 with unscrupulous Indian Agents conspiring with land grabbers. Near TOMBSTONE AZ the Chiricahua & Jacarilla Apaches finally had enough of the provocations and with Tanza &  Naiche, sons of Cochise, found new ways to retaliate, different from Geronimo. They made the settlers dependent on their Farming and Orchards while working on a Really Big Curse.
150 years later, we may be seeing the culmination of almost 500 years of terroristic warfare, of trick treaties and broken promises, in that what was started in America so long ago against the Native residents of America may have been not so much a Just Cause for a curse of revenge as the 500 year long trace of a path American Government chose for itself, a policy, a mindset, a 'philosophy' of murder, theft, genocide, and lies...an albatross of legacy and reputation which will take another 500 years to forgive, but it shall never be forgotten, for "General George Cheney and General Dick Bush" may have finally activated the bad karma from early fascist American history by completing the curse- that such people who would do such things so forbidden by the Great Spirit that the Nation So Gained was Doomed to Repeat its behavior for 500 years until the other Tribes of Earth, seeing 500 years of such crime, would bring the White Buffalo to Dance upon them and return them to the Earth forever to bring Peace itself back to every lodge.

        Our World in a teardrop. Opened eyes cry...
                                                                                       
    I shall author metaphor in hopes it may rain on the parade. What parade? What but the parade of people like lemmings plunging off the end of the dock into the seize of confusion, delusion, deception & propaganda. If we paced such a pell-mell rush differently, it could be scored like music. We should see clearly the orchestration of the 'soft attack' ongoing, like a bass line rumbling underneath our feet. If instead we hear thunder, see the flash of lightning, & the hard rain falls, but there is no weather report, what should we think, day after day, when the storm continues, the rain falls, day after day- do we wait until the 40th day or night? Did we not notice the absence of the weatherman? As conspicuously absent from news, or even "propaganda for public consumption" are the [trials of the] Capones of the pharmaceutical industries, from the War & Defense Industries, from the Media & Nuke Power Industry. What should we think when the weatherman speaks sunshine, but the storms continue? THAT weather report is sponsored by the smokescreen called "thermonuclear protection"and "national security". It is still raining, but somehow I feel the sunburn of lies and D.U. & treason. I look across the fields, woods, hills, and sky, knowing well which way the wind blows. I pledge myself again to farm, lest I abandon hope to a "Silent Spring". Honey, do we own a radiation detector?
    It's the small things we need reminders of, in spite of the political theater of war, with its fury, its megadrama, the movie called 'terrorism', as it's promoted through its largest special effects- the non-Hollywood blasts, carnage, injustices, that dominate our attention. {Not to say we might fail to notice all that.} It is still the tiny enemy at work beneath our feet we also need to focus upon. We can be well aware of the corporate enemies of humanity, of the political enemies, of the religious enemies, of criminals and traitors. We can be well aware of weapons systems, devices, Presidential Directives, mechanisms for usurpation of sovereignty, of constitutions, rights, freedoms. But like the invaders in HG Wells' War Of The Worlds, the powerful only seem invincible. Whether we identify with the Martians or the Earthlings hiding underground, no matter how suppressed or driven by war, we both answer to a tiny microbe eventually. It was proven in the 1970 expose from WMUR-TV9 about the Manchester NH Amoskeag Mill #9 under US Government control-contaminated with Anthrax but open to pigeons and rats and kids. It was proven in the recent confirmation of the Ames Strain of anthrax coming from the US Government in the 911 'bio-attack' The Las Vegas Ricin story was characterized by an 'instant' FBI assessment that there was "no terrorist connection", curiously, issued by the same agent involved in the classified raid last fall of Magician David Copperfield's warehouse. The same agents who "missed" TWO VIALS [four originally reported] of ricin. The same agents who also missed the 'subversive' materials evidencing the fact that there was potential intent for killing thousands. It is still raining isn't it! Are we safe? I think not, nor is any other part of America. It is not safe because of the FBI and the "small lies". The storm continues. The Israeli continue to bomb, the Americans, bomb, bomb, bomb.
H1N1...Swine Flu...engineered virus = biological warfare in its most blatant arrogant subversive form...
...the bullets of cowardly assassins!
    Long known in 'farmers' wisdoms' living microbes are responsible for soil being 'alive', and science has just recognized that such microbes are also responsible for frost resistance as well as for the majority of 'nucleation' of moisture as it condenses as rain or snow, not so much from dust as assumed. This means "back to the drawing boards" for weathermen & climatologists, and puts the global warming premise into the junk-science bin. What this knowledge also means is that genetic engineering of crops will likely come to a grinding halt as the illusion of 'isolation' falls to the revelation of earth-wide interdependency of life, even on a microscopic level. War on one 'level' manifests on all levels. Now consider the Mutations to viruses, to natural and engineered pathogens added by war, radioactivity, by mobile populations, by experimental pharmaceuticals, by the new pollutants, chemicals, and electromagnetic fields, by failures of water treatment plants to protect us from perchlorates, from hormones, from drugs, from a long list of new behavioral drugs getting into our water supplies along with other things we were not 'designed' to tolerate. But, neither are any of the smallest of lives on our planet. If our understanding of 'grand design' is correct, that the system of our planet operates as a whole, then it follows that we may not, must not allow this culture of America, of global corporate greed and war international and un-ending. There are no winners of war. NONE.  As our Native American wisdom says, you may war upon each other, upon us, but the Earth itself is what you war upon, and The Great Spirit will reward you accordingly; the rain will not fall, the crops will not grow, and your days of war will end with you. Peace itself will never be defeated, for peace is the face of the Great Spirit, and so it is... in every raindrop and every tear, even that upon His Cheek.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. If you kill, modify or enlist into war even the most tiny, even the greatest will die.

Writ large in our sky: TRUTH

 It's not a new tactic, dropping propaganda leaflets into a target zone. Putting crap on TV, on C-Span. Into 1900 pages of magic words on paper, to cast a spell to cure us all! Health Care indeed! Insurance profiteering using F.E.A.R., blackmail of Congress.
A thousand years ago plague victims bodies were catapulted over besieged castle walls into the king's courtyards as the attackers withdrew. It was propaganda, terrorism, a warning message and a successful war tactic all in one. Warnings, threats, messages,
& surprise deliveries feature prominently in the Historic and Hollywood 'record', as well as in the Pentagon & CIA's bags of tricks. "Humanitarian" warnings first, then Hiroshima. Even today, crude paper drops of propaganda continue contemporaneous with cybertech operations ranging from personal micro-spycraft, behavior modification programs, remote controlled armed drones and 'spyflies', beam propagation devices and upward to mega laser weaponry. The black ops projects are used to inspire & create insurgencies & other 'useful' instabilities. They also provide excuses for state sponsored 'responses' and/or "plausible denial". Grandiose Political Theatricals are not limited to media-worthy dramatics. The operations can be as blatantly public as the Bhutto assassination, or recent missile strikes inside Pakistan, the missile strikes in Algeria,(1) Nigeria and Somalia, (2) or like the warmongering Israeli taking out a Palestinian government official and the missiles flying there, in and out in the typical revenge-cycle. [see a pattern yet?] Name your "aftermaths of a stolen, corrupted election" incident, and someone else may hasten to add yet another less well known example. What needs to be noticed  by all can be as faint as the sound of a single small missile falling in the jungle.
 One way to think about this is the old Dean Martin comedy act, wherein he was clearly drunk before the cameras, distinguished from the Foster Brooks routine of comedic drunkenness, performed completely sober. Small incidents, little crafty acts, rumors, revelations of corruption, plain and simple stunts can and MUST be recognized for what they really are, or may be. The medium to large scale false flag operations are too plentiful & frequent to escape scrutiny by an increasingly sophisticated, critically discerning humanity at large transcendentally interested and more credible than 'governments'. BUT it is the detail-oriented individual, the poet of objective correlative, the 'kid paying attention' who may be among those supposedly faint voices 'crying in the wilderness' who points out the actuality with his semi-comedic question, "So what's that got to do with the 'price of *rice'?"

    One need only read & view videos to feel a joy in knowing there is (here) much more to feed our curiosity and craving. When a 'cluster' of attentive minds focuses upon an issue or incident, or news, the amount of information rises to meet the demand. Writers unafraid of sinking their 'teeth' into an imperative subject become "required reading". I know I'm in good company here. Knowing what is wrong, and who is doing wrong, is very important, though for many, advancement and peace can be reached by enlightenment and encouragement to simply stop hurting ourselves and each other, then we can avail all to the wisdom & solutions of peaceful humanity. Our next logical step is to continue educating, enlightening, awakening, while we begin to discover, rediscover, manifest and demonstrate solutions in practice. Meanwhile, "back at the ranch", our grandkids want explanations, so we continue the attempt to see, show, and tell how the big picture is reflected in the details.

The face of domestic terror:
    "Berserkers" is what John Brunner called them in his social science fiction novel, "Stand on Zanzibar", sword-wielding terrorists, we would call his characters now. What made his novel remarkable is that he accurately predicted an attack on Madam Sukarno, of course giving rise to an examination of prophetic literature in general, beyond any question of the authors potential prior knowledge or possible influence . His cautious observations of Philippine society merely gave him an insight on the inevitable before others. Keep this in mind as we briefly examine the recent Manila 'embassy bomb plot' story.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=edxFwClKyPI
[ As a footnote, I also refer readers to the Sept. 20th, 1998 Arlington, TX "Embassy Plot" story, related to: Sept. 10th 1998 "Ali Mohammed, former Bin Laden 'security director' and former member of US Special Forces." story. Google same.]

Manila: Foiled by the 'playbook'. Three people alleged to have plotted to attack 4 embassies constituted a 'terrorist threat' according to police & government security officials, but two government officials advised US reporters privately that opposition groups were dismissing the threat by virtue of the select targets, lack of weapons and explosives, and knowledge of it as a 'false flag' operation by Gloria Arroyo's government to justify heavy military & police presence in Manila while Gloria struggles in a corruption crisis beyond scandal. Without elaborating, officials have asserted assassination plots against Gloria by 'terrorists', while there is no connection to the 'embassy plot'. US Counter-Terrorism Troops arm & train Filipino soldiers to fight separatist opposition parties, labeling them Al Qaida or other Washington blacklisted group tags. {*Arroyo, it should be noted, just asked Vietnam for *RICE}
Paraguay: Feb. 29th, NEIL BUSH visits  President Duarte at the ASUNCION HOTEL as a guest of a big federation allied with Rev. Sun Myung Moon & the Unification Church, with the Universal Peace Foundation, promoting peace in the middle east, [S. Asia & other places] and- promoting a 50 mile $200 Billion USD tunnel from Siberia to Alaska. {Will Putin fill it with gas?} What else was going down? ** Is it like Neil's other "Building security" job?

ECUADOR: Saturday, March 1st Plan Columbia missiles (3) fly into the FARC Camp, killing Reyes, who just happens to be holding captive former Columbian presidential candidate (and dual citizen of France) Ingrid Betancourt, opposition to Columbia's Bush puppet Aribe.[yes, there is a pattern!] By their own admission, the CFR confirms Columbia's government is not only weakened by corruption by coke cartels, but accepts Plan Columbia's Billions and still "has little control of any territory outside of the country's major cities" while facing three major organizations, two "leftist rebel terrorist" and one "right wing paramilitary groups supported by wealthy landowners, cartels, and part of the Columbian Military." All three have been "able to expand their operations & prosper by trading in cocaine, opium, OIL, gold, and emeralds. Alvrado Aribe won a landslide victory in 2002...by promising to crack down on the 'rebels'."

Saturday's raid supported by Plan Columbia emulated the Israeli raid on Gaza, right down to the statements of justification. The Columbian police chief who made media statements stands accused of trafficking. The apparent violation of sovereignty, the complex mixing of terrorist and drug war rationalizations and tags, begs us to examine this more, for the trail now includes the tracking of cocaine planes, money, political names, and tangible evidence with CIA written all over it.

FROM 2008:
Lets get the GUNBELT REPORT from the Arizona Border, to see if any of the Columbian War has started to manifest here yet.

CIA  PLANES: John McCain is now well known to be tied to religious backers, is also tied to Saudi money, the Mob, and a fleet of planes used for CIA Captive Rendering flights, including rendering the Bin Laden family safe passage courtesy of the "escape from new York" flight services. Does he have a connection to Columbia, to Drug dealing? What else? How about British Royalty, and some Brit Mining companies who have eyes on Native American mineral rights? How about this:
http://www.silverbelt.com/articles/2008/03/05/apache_moccasin/apache03.txt

"White Mountain Apache and San Carlos Apache Tribal Council members opposing the proposed Resolution Copper Mine. They called it “a display of profound disrespect for a cherished feature of the Apache's original homeland as well as a serious violation of our Apache traditional, historical and religious beliefs.”
Besides destruction of sacred sites, springs and watercourses, the mine would obliterate Apache Leap Cliff where 77 Apache freedom fighters were forced to their death by the U.S. Cavalry in the 19th Century.
This congressional land swap legislation which was first introduced by U.S. Congressman, a Republican in the Congressional District No. 1, Rick Renzi and U.S. Presidential Candidate hopeful for the Republican Party, John McCain, would enable the mine to bypass U.S. environmental and Native American cultural protection laws. Our San Carlos Apache Tribe as well as six other federally recognized Native American Indian Tribes and six Counties, are members of Congressional District No. 1.

By removing the land from the U.S. Forest Service and making it to the mine's private land, the land swap subverts these laws. This land swap is being lobbied by the world's two largest mining companies, Rio Tinto (British) and BHP (Australia). The interest is obviously still there as recently witnessed by the most recent visit by overseas royalty made to the town of Superior."

On the road to RIO, John and Rick are pulling a Carleton on the Apaches again.

Would there be a possibility that planes seen near Tombstone may have carried large quantities of cash?

http://www.madcowprod.com/01312008.html
 How about the same planes Neil Bush, George Bush, John McCain, used, flying with his blonde lobbyist lady friend who is missing?  http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ciadrugs/W_plane.html
http://www.madcowprod.com/02272008.html
 Its the same companies and flight services as the DAILY flights into Miami from COLUMBIA?
http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/feb/16/bz-drug-money-flies-into-miami-daily-prosecutors-s/
the same connections to the fleet of 50 planes sold to the Sinaloa Cartel which is now fighting eastward along the Arizona Border with Mexico toward Nogales where the Gulf Cartel influence begins.
http://lys3rg0.gnn.tv/blogs/26281/CIA_Torture_Jet_wrecks_with_4_Tons_of_COCAINE
 The Sinaloa Cartel {Pacific} is tied to the CIA Cocaine planes with TONNAGE recently crashed in Mexico, flying toward Arizona from COLUMBIA. http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/518/mexico_rio_bravo_drug_gang_battles_cops_soldiers
They may be associated with the planes seen in the Tombstone, Arizona area.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HCan2VgsB8
 From a plane there, one could easily see one of the land-swap properties McCain's friend Renzi was tied to, just off Moson Road near Ft Huachuca. That farm is tied to the Carr Canyon Spring which feeds the Fort, the farm, and Tombstone, 22 miles away, with water, incidently, through an 1882 era nickle-lined pipe which is giving residents health problems. When illegals trashed the spring not long ago, it was shut down for a while but allowed to resume water delivery with a waiver from the environmental and health protection standards that would have otherwise shut down the Tombstone pipeline permanently as a hazardous metal contamination source. How was that done, but for the congressman? Back to the 'security' issue:
 http://www.nogalesinternational.com/articles/2008/02/26/news/news8.txt
Follow the politics:
http://www.svherald.com/articles/2008/03/06/news/doc47cf92b860c85208876923.txt
Tucson: The Corbett BP/ Illegal Immigrant murder trial:
  "The jury has asked the court some questions during the deliberation process. For example, on Wednesday morning the jurors asked if they could have access to the transcript of the trial. Judge David Bury contacted Grant Woods, the lead prosecutor, and Sean Chapman, the lead defense attorney. They said they did not want the transcript released because they preferred that the jurors rely upon their memory. The judge agreed."  Fully informed jury law violation?
I easily see this as the home team for justice 'throwing' the game, er, the case, for the BP/ICE, by assuring a deadlock, playing Mexican Standoff with the Zetas. It would seem only an "upstairs" order could accomplish this blatant miscarriage. Perhaps there was a phone call from someone in a position of influence?
So lets see here, the CIA provides the planes and black budget, the Drug War operatives provide services like delivering prohibitions profits, like those flown daily to Miami, the Casinos launder the money with Chinese counterfeit computer chipped slot machines provided by IGT & allowed in by corrupt customs agents, the Indians get paid off with casino licenses, Renzi and other mob related land developers pull strings with religious and industry lobbyists, McCain gets campaign help, runs interference for buddies in Border patrol, British royalty and mining companies...the CIA provides military muscle against the opposition. Just like they have in Pakistan, Manila, and now, Columbia. We have reports of Mexican Army incursions at Laredo and at places on the western Arizona-California border zone. They are escorting smugglers, and we can readily assume their loads are high value white rather than weed. Their impunity, their lack of opposition, is credited to GUESS WHO! So Columbian "goods' are 'helped' through the border, apparently, by the same people who are supposedly approving legislation to provide billions to hit opposition cartels, opposition politicians, and any natives who may have other designs for their lives, lands, liberties, and freedom, regardless of boundaries, borders, or sovereignty? Do we see the pattern here yet? Its General Carleton's 1868 policy, alive and well and directing American Foreign policy?
    Someone like me can bring a little attention on something, but more to the point, we must pay attention to what may seem small, and recognize its importance. Please be patient with the rest of our story, for it may reflect on the potential that the Columbian conflict may manifest itself on our own doorstep soon. Seth Shostok of the SETI project wrote recently in Space.com "Finding them finding us" about his new radio telescope, and the awareness that what we now are capable of is what alien intelligence has been able to do for a long time- listen and know what we know about UFO's, "them". So they know that we know. That brings up the great rhetorical question, " Why would a spacecraft need lights, except to mimic aircraft, understanding well our mis-perceptions and assumptions? Clearly they are logically communicating, even if to serve deception." Bear in mind that we have official and non-official, well-funded high tech weapons systems and craft, even remote-controlled, right in our airspace, over our backyards. We also have stealth technology of which a variation is the projected 'transparency' illusion. However, authentic, high definition videos of the Stephenville lights shows a remarkable lightshow, a huge projection of intentional signaling, of what appears to be resembling petroglyphs, or Mayan glyphs, or even of Arabic script being presented, flash-card style, in a sequence which strongly suggests a lot of meaning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPY50FrWGhs
 If it is alien UFO communication, it may well be a "humanitarian warning" that the Cowboy [image at the six second point of the earlier video- "cowboy hat icon"] must be stopped. Or it could be a warning, like that of "Day the Earth Stood Still". Perhaps they have asked for our surrender, or warned us to get clear before something happens. Either way, it is a complete failure of our "National Security" to have unchallenged or un-greeted visitors making a show over Texas.
 If, on the other hand, this light show is an attempt by our own domestic forces to demonstrate or test what may be made to appear as the "Hand of God" or the "Hand of Allah" writing commands upon the sky, does it mean that a 'humanitarian warning' is being prepared for a target? http://youtube.com/watch?v=XLikgptMD98
 Is the Pentagon arranging for 'God himself' to endorse OBAMA as world leader?
Or are they going to flash over America or Iran that the end has come? Is it yet another tool of political theater, meant to gain justification for more war? I prefer to believe I understand, that the complexity and delivery may be that of Angelic intent, but I also understand that it could be a contrived method of propaganda leaflet, blazed large in skywriting, at the hands of some warmongering evil. Either way, we must stop the terrorism that issues from the areas of Chicago and Washington and Crawford, for if the lights are ours, it bodes of another weapon of fear and warfare, or if not we best listen and understand what someone has come so far and risked so much to tell us: We must stop THIS:

...is more than a Web TV publishing effort based in Tombstone, Arizona. It is also an Idea, that a well chosen moment, a "Carpe Diem" seize the day word or deed, [like that of those at the Gunfight at the OK Corral which is re-enacted here everyday] can
change the course of history, make a difference in many lives. The transitory power of disproportionate influence, of inspiration & opportunity shared, of seeing a vision of one's mission, is the stuff of great novels and movies, as well as in those 'viral' moments on video that, like any Truth, can travel the planet very quickly, like catchy songs or real news. In a dramatic and theatrical place like Tombstone, the voices of residents of "The Gunbelt" along the Border bring the timeless wisdoms of miners, ranchers, and citizens with generations of sensibilities developed by living in the desert and mountains into the atmosphere of clear skies and honest living...enjoying these abundant blessings.

...is also a novel by Frank Lavoie. Its a very well crafted set of short stories which have captured 'Tales of our times' from the early 1960's to recent events. One of the stories "The Rescue of Prometheus" is a true tale about nuclear weapons and the real seat of power, as experienced by a country boy turned-nuclear weapons technician. It's a very ironic & revealing inside view of our current extremely perilous situation. Please buy the illustrated Tombstone edition, it's a PDF file on CD. (It 'reads aloud'! ) You can find it, and more description, on my ebay store under the sellername:  timelessgemminer

MINERS WISDOM   {A Mission Statement & disclaimer}
Opinionated or open-minded, educated or in-experienced, the participants in the historic land & gold 'Rushes' of the Old West were sorted by the tasks at hand. Only a few -cast in the ancient mold of patience perserverence, attention to detail- also mastered the physical challenges of exploration & development. Fewer still among those became the skilled farmers & miners of legendary accomplishments, significant discoveries, respectable production and long-lasting social contributions.Their acheivements and voices have been foundation stones in the history of humanity for over a thousand years, while empires rose & fell, and wars were fought over the resources under our feet. The dedicated educated modern professional miners, particular those now participating in the new "Gold Rush" by prospecting developing & operating their own mines, they are aware of HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF. This is one voice aware of speaking through time for others who dug the mountain before me, and for those still coming up the trail...

            The Rescue of Prometheus ...a continuation of the TLCU Editorial/Essay "The American Disease":

Its not just Banksters and Congressmen anymore.

 Are we a Nation of Theives, or is the American Disease a World-wide phenomena?
{For the sake of the point to be made, indulge me in leaving out the large magnitude of influences
 by the long-term military-industrial presence in 130 countries on 700 bases.}
The Earth-wide Culture of DISENFRANCHISEMENT engages in obsessive social pracices:
of divorcing the usage of words from their meanings;
of separating Truth from Reality for vanity, for conformity, for appearances, for political correctness, for 'business';
of dividing the peace of individuals to sell 'security';
of separating the customers from their money, the citizens from their rights, liberty, or control of one's own body;
of segregations of peoples by political artifices & prevarications (Reservations);
of the isolations of language, race, religion & politics;
of the exclusions of wealth, food, rituals, ceremonies, conventions and inculturated misperceptions;
of inappropriate tolerance of crime, dishonesty, deception & theft;
of building vaults instead of stopping theives;
of governing the 'represented' instead of representing the self-governed;
of fielding armies instead of Living Honestly.

Humanity and America, the Nation of Theives, KNOW THIS:
The selfish Prometheus, who had stolen the very fire of the gods-
... escaped Not his fate, inspite of his possession of that power.
His fate was to be chained to a rock and having his liver pecked out by an eagle
each night, only to have it restored each day. Doomed to repeat the torture forever,
he begged the gods for mercy. Its a simple metaphore for the nuclear devil, plutonium.

The American Disease that has infected the world,
or the 'worldly disease that has infected America's soul,
is illuminated by the dreadful truth that the military activities of nations
and the radioactive debris that already dooms all humanity-
[unexploded hydrogen bombs kill without going off]
makes it obvious that to SAFEGUARD HUMANITY there must now be A CURE applied.

It will not be found on any of the 1900 pages of "healthcare" deception.
It will never be bought with 'bail-outs'.
It will never be legislated.
It will never come as a miracle no matter how much money is worshipped.

This "prescription" means each patient must think act & live as a Defender of Peace,
dismantling and destroying the warmongering mentality as well as the machinery of death which has personified American racism, greed, theft & genocide ('might makes right') for its entire unfortunate & bloody history. There is NO Nationalism in Earth's history ever justified by war, only by its preservation and promotion of Peace. America has failed criminally.
Our military citizens should and must "invade" America from its scattered and ineffective deployments-must now fight the treasonous coup, the 'shadow government', the Pentagon and its' corporate co-conspirators who,
with the CIA and outside forces, sent [YOU] our forces away on false pretenses so that We, The People, could be suppressed, tyrranized, betrayed and ripped off, our whole treasury plundered-our authorities and police corrupted, made cowards-
without The People's ability to overthrow the political police state by use of our own militarized citizens,
our own Defenders of the Constitution. It is time for our forces to come home & Liberate America!
