      <title>The definitive canada guide to indians and booze 2008 - by Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine)</title>
      <link>http://people.tribe.net/26856b14-2d29-46c3-97ae-1b37f316d93b/blog/0b1bffe2-dd8f-47bb-8f7c-817b7a6f7b60</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;The definitive canada guide to indians and booze 2008 - by Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine)&#xD;
&#xD;
The government has pushed booze on the masses, and the masses responded with thirst and hedonism.&#xD;
The government knew that it's secret combination of white flour, alcohol and refined foods, would lead to 100% control over the Indians (and bonus!...everybody else too), however it can no longer last due to the Higher refined energies our solar system is travelling through at this time.&#xD;
The government knew that it could control the masses through imbalances in any of the chakras.&#xD;
The government secretly started to add poisons to alcohol, and it called these poisons "preservatives".&#xD;
The government system has "legitimized" poisons, so that it would appear normal and be normal for you to consume their deadly poisons.&#xD;
The government wanted control over your THOUGHTS, ACTIONS AND INTENTIONS, so that it could kill mother earth using tax payers dollars.  &#xD;
The government fears that you regain control of your THOUGHTS, ACTIONS AND INTENTIONS, because you would then help restore mother earth.&#xD;
In the government's world, yes means no, nuclear war is safe, peace means war, genocide is simply another day at the office in the 'HOUSE OF COMMONS AND CANADIAN PARLIAMENT".&#xD;
****Watch the canadian government push nuclear energy on the masses when we now know that cars can run on water...do you think they are not aware? Please be aware that while the masses are boozing it up, the government has murdered scientists and suppressed safe and harm-free technologies!&#xD;
The government loves to combine booze with sporting events and entertainment (particular combining both with trance rhythms so that the government can access your subconscious with it's messages), and meanwhile it is controlling the weather and unleashing weather wars on the human race (most who are not aware of government manmade weather technologies).&#xD;
The canadian government wants every canadian drunk, so that it can continue sacrificing it's citizens to satan....the Indians have seen many people die from many alcohol-dominated experiences.&#xD;
Once you become a heavy drinker on an acidic diet, then very likely yeast and fungus will take residence in your body and will thus influence your cravings to consume simple sugars.&#xD;
The yeast and fungus in your body (helping to create alcohol cravings) and will be there unless you go on a parasite cleanse.&#xD;
Anyone seeking full health drinker or not, should have at least two parasite cleanses a year.&#xD;
If you really want to quit drinking, first you must let your intentions be known to Higher beings, and make sure you detail how they may be of assistance to you.&#xD;
If you drink regularly you may need to consider that when you are drunk, you may be possessed by dark entities, through the back of your brain.&#xD;
If you drink regularly, then you must smudge and pray on a regular basis letting your heart's desires be known, so that you can be free of negative entities who have latched on to you, during drinking binges.&#xD;
The Indians would be advised to reflect on this:  the government fears your spiritual powers, therefore you must exorcise your communities of all negative entities, immediately begin community-based parasite cleanses, and community smudging, and take immediate steps to bring to Light, how the queen and her lawyers and bankers, have illegally and immorally created drinking communties while throwing fascists laws at us faster than anyone can read or comprehend (especially while impaired at the local bar).&#xD;
Seek out the Highest quality of Light at this time, in order to gain your power over government-based consumer products like beer, wine, mouthwash and the queen of england's hidden ways of control.&#xD;
The government has marketed beer as your wise friend (Bud-wiser...get it?) and told you alcohol would make you feel better, however it has poisoned you with it's preservatives.....is your response to roll over and give up, or could you put your drink down and raise your hands in powerful Universal Everlasting Love.&#xD;
I promise all you drinkers out there this:  Take both your hands and rest them on your steering wheel of life, it's you.....you are in full control of you, not any consumer product.&#xD;
I promise all you drinkers this:  If you intended right now to take your body and purify it, and stretched your lower abdomen area with regular yoga, and cleaned out your intestines, and committed yourself to eating 50% raw food, you could achieve full power over your alcohol dreams.&#xD;
We are all on the road to health, assisting each other on the red road of balance, and eternal Love.&#xD;
We could all benefit from community sobriety at this time.&#xD;
It is my intentions that this writing reach every canadian indian with a computer and an open heart and mind by july 1st (canada day)....perhaps you know one or several?&#xD;
Thank you for sharing this information with your loved ones with grace.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
Love, &#xD;

Subject  MNN Katenies v Queen Oct. 18 Cornwall Court &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
Brothers, Sisters, Friends and Allies:  This is the document that Woman Title Holder, Katenies, served and filed on the Cornwall court on Monday December 18th 2006.  Its based on the Two Row Wampum and the Kaianerehkowa.  She did not acknowledge the colonial corporation's [Customs Canada] phony charges.  She already asked how Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II got jurisdiction over her and our land.   They refused to answer.  She's found the Queen, the corporation of Canada and all its public and private corporations guilty of theft, etc.  She's asking for restitution.  The message was so dangerous they got everybody out of the courtroom first.  She refused to stand up and started reading it.  Thats enough! they yelled.  Testosterone flew about the room as they all tried to be hyper-macho.  They tried to set the date for another performance.  She and her supporters didnt hear and left.         MNN    &#xD;

Katenies [aka Janet Davis] v. HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
Information #C2202/03&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
SUBMITTED TO:  THE COLONIAL ONTARIO COURT, PROVINCIAL DIVISION, 29 SECOND ST. WEST, CORNWALL 0NTARIO CANADA ON KANIONKE:HAKA LAND&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
FROM: Katenies [aka Janet Davis], Bear Clan, Woman Title Holder of Turtle Island; Onkwehonweh, Sovereign, a Manifestation of All the Elements as a real, flesh and blood Hueman being, does take exception to Fraud committed by HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN.     &#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
REGARDING:  illegal invasion, trespass, occupation and assumption of authority and jurisdiction over me and my land by CANADA CUSTOMS AND REVENUE AGENCY INCORPORATED, ET. AL, PROVINCE OF ONTARIO INCORPORATED, ET. AL, CANADA INCORPORATED ET. AL, EAST INDIA COMPANY, HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF CANADA. &#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
FACTS:&#xD;
&#xD;
1.       Kanionke:haka/Mohawk land comprises at least 20 million acres of Northeastern Turtle Island.  It is referred to as the St. Lawrence Valley, Great Lakes watershed, southern Quebec, southern Ontario, south to New York State, Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.  We are the Keepers of the Eastern Door of Turtle Island.  We are carrying out our duties as the caretakers.  The natural world has given us this responsibility by rooting us in this land. &#xD;
&#xD;
Our Indigenous communities existed on Turtle Island since time immemorial and continue to have trading relations with other nations.  We have trading relations before and after the illegal occupation of the colonial states of Canada and the U.S.  We never gave Britain the right to establish their corporations on our land.  Canada is illegal.  &#xD;
Our vast territory has subsequently been illegally chopped into pieces by these foreign corporations in the name of the Crown.    &#xD;
Dozens of colonial jurisdictions have been imposed on us, along with administrative bodies some of which are known as band councils and tribal councils.  There are also hundreds of foreign police and military authorities patrolling our land.   &#xD;
We have only been allies of Great Britain.  We have never been British subjects and never will be.&#xD;
We have never agreed to become a part of the colonies of either Canada or the United States.&#xD;
These multiple illegal jurisdictions divide our communities and territory in order to break down our nations for the purpose of absorbing us into their colonial polity.  &#xD;
Crown, federal and privatized corporations have imposed themselves on our land to exploit and usurp our resources.      &#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
LAW:&#xD;
&#xD;
9.  According to Guswentah, the Two Row Wampum Treaty, the greatest foreign policy ever devised between nations, you agreed to respect the fact that:&#xD;
&#xD;
i.      We are a separate people from you and the land is our birthright;&#xD;
&#xD;
ii.   The law of the land is the Kaianerehko:wa, a universal law which is the most perfect social contract ever developed by our people;  and&#xD;
&#xD;
iii   You would never usurp our natural tie to the land of our past, present and future generations.  &#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
The Charter of the United Nations, to which Canada has given its free and informed consent, confirms that:&#xD;
i.      the dignity, value and rights of all human beings is equal. &#xD;
&#xD;
ii.         all states are required to maintain the peace and refrain from using &#xD;
&#xD;
the force of arms to resolve differences with other states.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; to which Canada has given its free and informed consent, recognizes that all peoples have the right to self-determination.&#xD;
United Nations Resolution 1514(XV) affirmed the right of all to self-determination, saying that any attempt to partially or totally disrupt the national unity and territorial integrity of a country is incompatible with the principles of the UN Charter.&#xD;
 United Nations Resolution 1514(XV) affirmed that the desire for independence is the rightful aspiration of peoples under colonial subjugation and that the denial of their right to self-determination constitutes a threat to the well-being of humanity and international peace. &#xD;
United Nations Resolution 1514(XV) also affirmed that no people can be made part of another state unless it is the result of a free and voluntary choice by the peoples of the territory concerned expressed through informed and democratic processes.&#xD;
The International Court of Justice confirmed in the Western Sahara case that no state can absorb another without the free and informed consent of the people concerned expressed through democratic processes.&#xD;
The Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination confirmed on March 6, 2006 that Indigenous peoples have the right to own, develop, control and use their land and resources and that the United States was guilty of denying this right to the Western Shoshone people.&#xD;
The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide U.N.T.S. 1021, vol. 78 (1951) states that the crime of Genocide includes:&#xD;
i.          Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.  &#xD;
&#xD;
ii.         The forced transfer of children to another social group.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
Section 132 of the British North America Act 1867, which was passed by the Parliament of Great Britain, accords Canada the right to negotiate with foreign states on behalf of the British Empire.&#xD;
As a successor state, which continues to be represented by the same Queen as Great Britain, Canada is bound by the treaties and agreements made by Great Britain.&#xD;
Even if Canada imagines that Britains assertion of sovereignty over us made us subjects of the British Empire, the Crown has a duty to govern according to the laws and customs of the land and of the people as set out in the Coronation Oath sworn by you, Queen Elizabeth II. &#xD;
Even if Canada imagines that Canadian laws apply to us;&#xD;
i.          Canada has an obligation to recognize and affirm existing Aboriginal and Treaty rights as set out in Section 35(1) of the Constitution Act 1982.  &#xD;
&#xD;
ii.                  Aboriginal rights must be interpreted according to the understanding of Aboriginal people as set out by the Supreme Court of Canada in Nowegijick v. The Queen, [1983] 1 S.C.R. 29.&#xD;
&#xD;
iii.                There is no justification for perpetuating the unjust and discriminatory colonial refusal to recognize the rights and interests in land of the Indigenous peoples as stated by Brennan J. in Mabo v. Queensland [No. 2] (1992), 175 C.L.R. 1 (H.C.), at p. 42 and cited with approval by the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Côté, [1996] 3 S.C.R. 139 at para 53.&#xD;
&#xD;
iv.                 European settlement did not terminate the interests of aboriginal peoples arising from their historical occupation and use of the land.  To the contrary, aboriginal interests and customary laws were presumed to survive the imposition of foreign sovereignty, and were absorbed into the common law as rights, unless (1) they were incompatible with the Crowns assertion of sovereignty, (2) they were surrendered voluntarily via the treaty process, or (3) the government extinguished them.  As acknowledged by the Supreme Court of Canada in Mitchell v. M.N.R., [2001] 1 S.C.R. 911, at para 10.  &#xD;
&#xD;
v.                   The Federal Court of Australia has recognized that the Noongar Aborigines of Australia continue to hold native title to the whole of south-west Western Australia notwithstanding the implantation of substantial colonial settlements including the city of Perth as stated in Bennell v. State of Western Australia [2006] FCA 1243.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
ANALYSIS:&#xD;
&#xD;
You are in violation of the natural righteousness embodied in the Kaianerehko:wa, our Great Law of Peace, the universal law based on the natural world.&#xD;
 Your on-going aggression against us violates nature; the Two Row Wampum, international law; and your own constitutional laws.&#xD;
 You have been attempting to criminalize our people who protect our laws, lands and people through the use of force to impose illegal laws, codes and acts passed by foreign legislatures in which we neither participate nor wish to participate in.  &#xD;
Your courts have recognized that Aboriginal rights must be determined according to practices and uses of the time of the imposition of British sovereignty.  There were no boundaries through our communities when you arrived.  We never gave your corporations the right to erect artificial boundaries to divide our community and to prevent normal community relations.  You have no right to create these limitations around, over and under us, not even under your own law.&#xD;
According to your laws you do not have jurisdiction over territory that is not a part of the foreign corporation called Canada. There is no evidence that our territory has ever been ceded to Canada or became a part of it.  &#xD;
You have never met the requirements set out in International law for incorporation of our state in yours.  There has never been a decision by a clear majority of our people to join Canada. International law accordingly rejects your colonial encroachment on us and our land. &#xD;
Our land, the land of our future generations, does not belong to you so you have no authority to issue licenses to use our resources and our land cannot be legally developed or changed without consulting us and obtaining our consent.  Our perspectives cannot be ignored.  You have no right to do anything to us or our possessions without our permission.     &#xD;
The United Nations Charter, whose terms you have consented to uphold, requires that its members cannot use armed force to resolve international differences.  Your commercial enterprise known as the border between two foreign states, Canada and U.S., has no legal validity and exists only in your imagination. Your use of guns and violence to maintain your position on our land violates international law.&#xD;
The United Nations prohibits the disruption of family life and includes the removal of children from their parents in the crime of genocide.  You are using your imaginary border to commit genocide against our people.&#xD;
The oath that you swore at your coronation requires you to protect the laws of the lands and people over which you claim dominion.  Since you imagine that you exercise sovereignty over us, you have violated your oath through your permissive attitude that allows your subjects and the citizens of your successor states to oppress us.&#xD;
Canadian laws require Canada to respect our rights as we understand them.  Yet Canada continues to ignore our opinions and violates our laws.&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
I, KATENIES, PUT YOU ON NOTICE:   &#xD;
&#xD;
That you must stop breaching the peace.  You are inflicting torture and genocide upon us and our future posterity.  &#xD;
Our governance is based on relations of equality and mutual respect as affirmed by the Kaianerehko:wa.  Our relationship with the colonists is based on the Guswentah, the Two Row Wampum.  We need to review the Covenant Chains that defined our original relationship.   &#xD;
We are the trustees of all of our land for the future generations of our People, including the part upon which your corporations and your subjects are squatting.  You cannot alienate us from our birthright.  &#xD;
Your colonial successor states and corporations have failed to respect your promises to protect us from being raped, pillaged and polluted by squatters who have come here and installed themselves on our land with your protection and encouragement.  Your squatters are occupying our land illegally.  They are stealing our resources and poisoning our land, water and air almost beyond repair.  If you do not stop them they will kill themselves as well as our future generations.   &#xD;
Your justice system functions to allow the squatters to keep the property you stole, to continue the theft and to incriminate us or kill us to stop us from making our demands for restitution.  We are the care-takers of this land.  When there are negotiations or decisions to be made concerning this land you must come to our table and talk to us.  The decisions you make on your own are not legal.    &#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
I, KATENIES, WISH TO PROTECT MY PHYSICAL INTEGRITY, MY BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS AND MY RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT AND TAKE ACTION TO OBTAIN LEGAL REDRESS AND SO I DEMAND:&#xD;
&#xD;
38. That you stop forcing your laws on us; that you admit that your federal and provincial colonial apparatus is illegal; that you declare all their transactions null and void and that you cease your illegal operations against us immediately.&#xD;
&#xD;
 That you acknowledge that our land belongs to the faces yet unborn; and that we maintain our stewardship so our children will be born free from your bondage.  We will never be your subjects.      &#xD;
That you resume dealing with us on a nation-to-nation basis and stop using your unlawfully imposed corporate puppets known as tribal and band councils which are backed by armed threats.  &#xD;
That you respect the rule of law that comes from Creation, encompassing all that is good for humanity, so that people may become of one mind based on natural righteousness.  Foreigners such as yourself and your corporate entities must respect the Indigenous law of our land.   You cannot legislate over or judge us and you must stop attempting to do so.&#xD;
That you acknowledge that colonial states have no authority to criminalize us for upholding our laws and our obligations.  We have an inherent right and duty to preserve our land for our coming generations through defensive and peaceful acts.    &#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
For 500 years we have been resisting your colonial efforts to eliminate us and to impose your unnatural institutions on us.  We wish to reinstate the lawful relationship with you once the inequities are remedied according to the principles of the Two Row Wampum Agreement.    &#xD;
&#xD;

Date: Tuesday, 24 June 2008, 11:19 p.m. There`s over 800 burning.. we`re sitting in a bowl of &#xD;
smoke here in central Calif. &#xD;
I definitely don`t believe all these 2008 disasters, here &#xD;
and afar, are merely compliments of Mother Nature. I also &#xD;
suspect they tweak / trigger Earth events to bolster their &#xD;
profitable campaign.. keep the people believing these &#xD;
'out of norm' events are due to (their contrived) global-warming. &#xD;

Weather Tampering and California "Wild" Fires (June 24, 2008) &#xD;
&#xD;
----- Original Message ----- &#xD;
From: Roxana &#xD;
To: Editor &#xD;
Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 &#xD;
Subject: could weather tampering have played a part in the 800-some fires in CA? &#xD;
&#xD;
Dear Mr. Adachi: &#xD;
&#xD;
I was wondering if HAARP or weather tampering could have caused that "unprecidented dry lightning storm" that touched off some 800 fires in California and (according to the news) in the San Francisco bay area, there's 200 fires that are raging out of control and completely unattended. &#xD;
&#xD;
I understand weather has its dips and spikes and can be sporatic and CA is prone to drought and fires anyway, but could weather tampering have played a part here this time? Granted, we're known to get some pretty bad fires (especially if the forests haven't been thinned out and the underbrush cleared out and we've had drought), but this does seem to be way over the top. &#xD;
&#xD;
I'm also suspicious of all the flooding in the midwest. &#xD;
&#xD;
Sincerely, &#xD;
&#xD;
Ms. Roxan &#xD;
&#xD;

&#xD;
Hello Roxan, &#xD;
&#xD;
The "wild" fires which occurred in southern California in late October of 2007 --all of them--were intentionally set by government sponsored agents, Whether it was CIA, or Mossad, or military, etc. I don't know, but I do know the fires were set by arsonists and the cover story of "downed power lines" was utterly bogus and fabricated. The fires were started to create the pretext for an "emergency response" and legitimize the event as a "crisis"-which brings federal money--and, in turn, federal control strings. They created the fires in order to justify spending more money for fire fighting equipment, more firefighting planes, more jobs, more emergency response teams, more flood control expansion, more appropriations of a host of "emergency requirements". &#xD;
&#xD;
Starting fires in areas which have been intentionally dried out by engineered droughts is not new and not just limited to California. A few years back, we had torch jobs in adjoining states in order to accomplish hidden political, black op agendas. &#xD;
&#xD;
ZS Livingstone wrote a few articles some years ago about the Tesla technology which our manipulators employ to cause the eruption of forest fires by literally hurling lightning balls at chosen locations &#xD;
&#xD;
If you were to carefully study the incidents of wild fires in California over the past 60 years let's say, you would see that the cluster of fires in the last decade, for example, are all out of statistical proportion to the norm for this area. Why? Because government Black Ops weren't intentionally starting fires in past decades. &#xD;
&#xD;
Chemtrails work in league with HAARP and special weapon satellites to cause all kinds of weather anomalies, including droughts. &#xD;
&#xD;
There is no way we would have over 1000 tornadoes, many of them intense and very destructive, in the USA in the span of six months. No way on earth. Look through the weather historical records for the past 100 years and you will see nothing even close to these statistics. These killer tornadoes are being CREATED by government technology, just as the Hurricanes of 2005 were created by the government. The Dec. 2004 Tsunami in the Pacific that killed so many was artificially created, probably by undersea nuclear detonation. The China Sichuan earthquake was artificially created. &#xD;
&#xD;
The torrential rains in the midwest, I believe, are more the work of Sylphs to sabotage the chemtrail poisoning operations and to detoxify the ground of chemtrail pollutants and metals. I'm sure there are other reasons which I'm not aware of, but I agree with ZS Livingstone and others, that it's likely the Sylphs bringing the rain. &#xD;
&#xD;
It's a Universal Law: For every negative action, there is an equal and OPPOSITE positive reaction.It can't be any other way. The more reckless and destructive they get, the more will be the push-back in the positive direction. &#xD;
&#xD;
Haven't you notice just how REMARKABLY clear and blue the skies have been of late? The Sylphs are showing up in huge armadas and transmuting chemtrails FASTER than the chem planes can lay down the chemtrails! This isn't happening everywhere, but it's happening in areas that have orgone generators OR people with focused intent to clear up the sky of chemtrails. .I plan to post many photos showing how well the Sylphs are clearing the skies of late. It's almost a miracle. &#xD;
&#xD;
Regards, Ken &#xD;

										&lt;div&gt;The Love of the Universe is by our side - by Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine)&#xD;
&#xD;
We can stop the new world order, because we have the Love of the Universe by our side.  &#xD;
Let's all look beside ourselves and see the assistance all around us.&#xD;
Do you get the feeling that many changes are almost upon us....let's shine Love and see if we can push things on this planet over the edge.&#xD;
If you climb the mountain in front of you, I can assure you that the view at the top will be beyond your wildest and most cherished dreams.&#xD;
Laugh, giggle, rest, mediate, eat.......Creator is surrounding each of us at all times as we become aware of His abundant blessings.&#xD;
Soon we'll all have cars and households that run on water, does joy fill your heart knowing this?&#xD;
Soon we'll be on spaceships that run on water, travelling to Mars and beyond, can you envison travelling further in the most comfortable path to God?&#xD;
Soon your greatest task on this planet is to achieve bliss, and to know you never need to give up your bliss for anything outside you and Creator's special relationship.&#xD;
One of the greatest acts of love at this time, is to refrain from playing "victim" and "perpetrator" or any supporting roles, with friends, family and society, instead let's simply exist today in the now in full harmony.&#xD;
We can all see that our dear mother earth is cleansing herself, let's assist her by being loving at all times as we say bye-bye to fossil fuels forever!&#xD;
Be wise, your adversaries in hollywood, many governments and corporations......are highly skilled in the art of deceit and they have many of you by the brains, balls and breasts.&#xD;
Note this observation:  Many people are losing their memories (those who remain toxic and are carrying fear), and many people are gaining their memories (those who are cleansing and shedding illusions).....what side are you chosing right now?&#xD;
Light wins everytime, I know this because when you open a door into a dark room, the Light comes flooding in everytime.&#xD;

Love,&#xD;

										&lt;div&gt;The Great Spirit is Alive at Little Manitou Lake&#xD;
&#xD;
by Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine)&#xD;
&#xD;
Little Manitou Lake is a body of salt water located 5 km from Watrous, SK (one hour drive south east from Saskatoon). Manitou Beach is a cozy little village situated on the south shore of Little Manitou Lake.  The waters of Manitou attract people from all over the world who come to float in the lake or the spa. A glimpse of the crowd at the spa one spring afternoon and I saw a mostly elderly crowd, mixed in with some Mennonites and a few hippies. &#xD;
&#xD;
UPCOMING EARTH CHANGES - Since I have lived in Saskatoon my whole life, I had visited Manitou throughout the years.  Most recently Manitou came back into my world as me and my dear friend, song writer and poet Bruce Stephenson talked about where to move for the coming earth changes and by earth changes you may be asking what do I mean? Well there's so much to choose from, it's as if "everything" is undergoing great changes......upcoming weather changes (caused naturally and through government warfare against the people), the upcoming shift in our financial world (from a system of "greed" to a system based on "love"), shifts in spirituality (the end of several false religions), the end of war, poverty slavery etc.  For many still in their fear, they don't see the end of these things but I sure do.&#xD;
 &#xD;
For many of us who have been following the happenings of earth, the internet is currently one of the most potent ways to share Truth.  I am one of millions have been following the upcoming earth changes have come from many internet sources perhaps most importantly, the various channelled messages found on sites such as Snoedel (http://snoedel.punt.nl) and my own website (www.indianinthemachine.com ) including Archangel Michael, the Galactic Federation of Light, Abraham, Hatonn, Atmos, Diane, Sananda, Ag-agria, Matthew and many others.&#xD;
  &#xD;
Here’s what I’m telling you with a straight face….listen carefully because this writing is about to get a whole lot juicier…..my own personal quest for Truth has led me to these very special messages from off-world beings (after all, doesn't even the vatican practically admit their existence as of Spring 2008?).  These message reveal the Truth that earth changes are coming from both our sun in our solar system (verified by independent thinkers and researchers!), the photon belt our solar system is going through (verified by NASA), and the Great Central Sun at the heart of our Universe, which we cannot see with our bare eyes, because our planet is simply too far away. Our species (including our so-called elected leaders) is generally not aware of the very dimensional changes it is going through, however this soon is quickly changing too as critical mass is soon achieved on this front and several other fronts.  &#xD;
&#xD;
MODERN SOCIETIES ARE NOT IN CONTROL OF THEMSELVES - In my reality, I can see that the general populations are not aware of much of what takes place all around.  Government doping of the water supply (via fluoride )also depleted both, our IQs and our ability to discern Truth, thus making the masses more susceptible to control and manipulation.  Listen carefully!...the powers-that-be-for-now are aware of the dimensional shift our planet is in, and they seek to poison the masses via air, water, soil, mind, body, spirit and emotions…..in order to avoid the inevitable collapse of societal power structures. It’s true society is a mess on many fronts including everything from it’s abhorrent farming practices, unaffordable housing crisis, the poisoning of the food supply via large supermarket chains, the dumbing down of education etc…. however I still believe in the people’s will to live in peace love and harmony….to believe in the Light. Great changes can and will need to happen if our species is to survive.&#xD;
To combat the emotional, spiritual, mental and physical poisoning of canada and the world I personally have been posting very pertinent information about the canadian government's evil plans for the rest of you.&#xD;
  &#xD;
2008 THE PILGRIMAGE TO CRYSTALLINE WATERS  - To understand the true spiritual potential of Little Manitou Lake, is to understand that the salt in the salt water arranges itself in the most "comfortable" form. Imagine countless billions upon billions of sub-microscopic salts lining in their most efficient pattern repeating itself throughout the water.  This my friends, has the effect of creating a giant water crystal.  Also since there are metals in the lake, this also has a magnetic effect too.  Imagine a magnetic crystal 16 km long by 1 km wide and you are on your way to visualizing one of the greatest gifts from the Universe at this time….crystals, ions, magnets….this is Little Manitou Lake and more!&#xD;
&#xD;
Since crystals have the ability to transmit and store information, the waters of Little Manitou Lake have a strong appeal to many who are interested in the healing arts, or simply want to focus their energies via thought, intentions and actions, to create a better world strongly grounded in the Light.&#xD;
&#xD;
Part of my personal journey to the crystalline waters of Little Manitou Lake is to learn how to harness this powerful liquid crystal using the power of focused "thought", "action" and "intention". The effect will be more greatly compounded as people join together their focus. Perhaps you are reading these words and they resonate with you, perhaps you'll be one of many who will be making a pilgrimage to these waters, with a special role to play. I firmly believe that if people followed their signs in spirit, many would be led to the power centres of our planet, so that we can harness our conscious energy to alter the entire course of humanity, to go wherever we choose…isn’t that incredible and welcomed news that can’t happen too soon?!&#xD;
&#xD;
IONS IN THE AIR - Many of you are already aware that I am big into ionic footbaths, sell them online and have the manufactured locally in Saskatoon. Imagine my glorious surprise as I made my way to the shore one windy evening of Little Manitou Lake.  The air was utterly captivating it was so full of negative ions which are generated as the wind moves strongly across the waves.  As one of the most salty bodies on our planet, this fact alone accounts for the "magical" effects of Manitou air.  Since most people eat acidic modern diets, their body's are acidic thus "craving" negative ions.  Manitou air is special air, for this I am certain. &#xD;
&#xD;
WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS HAVING A PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE - Little Manitou Lake is where I will be having physical experiences as a spiritual being.  Already I've seen the sky spirits and the cloudships in the sky as I have seen them in Saskatoon and area, and have posted them online at youtube.com/indianinthemachine.  This vision of peaceful, adventurous and spiritual living is shared with those around me and season I have decided to call Manitou my home along with brothers Cory Dean Smith and Patrick L. Smith. We have created our new home at 112 Watrous St in the village of Manitou Beach.  The teepee is at the side of the house.  We have many ideas from community trance drumming, to sky and water tours, outdoor sauna, retail area and more.  Perhaps by the time this article is published and read many things will have happened to all of us along the way.&#xD;
&#xD;
Pilgrimage to Little Manitou Lake, SK Canada Aug 15-18, IONIC FOOT BATHS, SKY SPIRIT AND CLOUDSHIP PHOTOS AND VIDEOS, TIPI DRUMMING, GALACTIC FEDERATION OF LIGHT messages.....POWER TO THE PEOPLE! &#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;Harper "apologizes" but what really changes?  Read this article from www.nativestudies.org, and see how Canadians yet again tell the world, how the government of canada cannot be trusted, and must be removed for the wellness and safety of canadians and the planet as well.   The natives of north america should be proud that they have survived, and are awakening at a quickening rate.  Words masquerading as apologies mean nothing, if it's it's business (more genocide) as usual.....and by the way, there are genocides happening all over the place, and we could all benefit from everyone's attention in these matters including you. &#xD;

Harper's Apology Not-Accepted    Fri, June 20, 2008 - 5:48 AM &#xD;
Prime Minister Harper's Apology Not-Accepted &#xD;
www.nativestudies.org &#xD;
&#xD;
An Historic Non-Apology, Completely and Utterly Not Accepted &#xD;
&#xD;
The Maze of Rhetoric &#xD;
&#xD;
We hope our title is sufficiently unequivocal to convey our reaction to the events of Wednesday June 11, 2008. Maybe by example we can show how one must approach issues which require the utmost clarity. On the other hand, this probably won’t work, especially when it’s clear the predominant intention behind a communication is to obscure. Whatever… in any event, for us, sitting on a spiky metal fence is uncomfortable posture. &#xD;
&#xD;
We listened with attention to what Stephen Harper had to say yesterday, and we did not hear what we needed to hear. Instead, again we watched and heard one more opportunity being thrown away, this one with more ceremony than those preceding it. We watched and heard the studious avoidance of truth, in what we can only regard as the hope that the repetition of a lie will somehow substitute for reality, a concept now reduced to another mantra (as is nowadays the case for, for example, “truth” or “reconciliation”). &#xD;
&#xD;
To those surprised or appalled by our reaction, or to people who simply have no idea that there’s an issue here at all, let us begin by pointing to at least a few of the facts we had to keep in mind when listening to the statement of the current head of a political process that has, since it origin (Confederation in 1867), had the elimination of aboriginal peoples as its consistent policy: &#xD;
&#xD;
(1) the “settler” population of Canada has had, from the point of its inception, a qualitatively different relation with indigenous peoples than the remote colonial bureaucracy that preceded it: for England, the Indian Nations were allies (who, arguably, saved Canada on more than one occasion); for the newly-formed Dominion of Canada, they were impediments to expansion, like swamps and vermin. However, in the transfer of authority, the Dominion was honor-bound to respect them, their rights, and their historical status. &#xD;
&#xD;
(2) with legal and ethical limits placed upon their treatment of indigenous nations (so that, for example, the Dominion couldn’t just set out to slaughter them all, as became the policy in the United States), tactics had to be adopted that had the effect of extermination without giving its appearance (and the British empire had many models to emulate, particularly Tasmania). A simple but accurate characterization of the array of government programs, policies, and laws aimed at indigenous peoples and nations, then, is that they were a range of “carrots” and “sticks” deployed to turn those of us (if any) who survived these artifices from “Indians” into “Canadians” (or, after the era of multiculturalism began, “Indian-Canadians”). Residential school was only one of those programs, one that was heavy on the “stick” and light on the “carrot.” &#xD;
&#xD;
(3) church officials and government officials have, from time to time since the mid-1980’s, offered what they (and others) have characterized as “apologies.” These have not been apologies. An apology is not made an apology by the person offering it saying it is an apology; it is only an apology when those who have been offered it accept it as an apology. The fact that the rhetoric of pseudo-apologies has become more twisted as time has gone on should make all of us vigilant against immediately accepting what sounds like an apology without careful examination of exactly what was said, how it was said, and what was not said. And repetition is not an argument. &#xD;
&#xD;
So, what happened Wednesday afternoon? Stephen Harper described the history of actions undertaken by the government of Canada against the children of indigenous peoples, specifically, their forcible removal from their families and communities and their placement under the unsupervised control of four major Canadian churches. Various aspects of these actions, characterized as “abuse” (including physical, mental, and sexual abuse), were enumerated, followed by variations on the refrain of “for this, we apologize” (or “we are sorry”) and “we were wrong” (or “this should never have happened”). That it happened was attributed to bad, arrogant attitudes of superiority. Finally, when mention was made concerning where “we” go from here, the upcoming work of the so-called “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” was proffered as the most appropriate forum. Afterwards, this performance was, by-and-large, repeated by the leaders of the other political parties. &#xD;
&#xD;
The presentation was offered with every indication of honesty and sincerity. We do not doubt the honesty of what was said, for reasons we will give below. But for those who take honesty as evidence of truth, it would be good to remember what Marx once said: “The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” Groucho Marx, that is. &#xD;
&#xD;
So what’s our problem? Actually, we have several: we did not hear an apology, we dispute characterizations that were made, and we do not believe the putative mechanism of resolution (the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission”) will resolve anything useful. &#xD;
&#xD;
An apology has at least three characteristics (some people will say there are more, some will list more specific traits… this doesn’t matter for present purposes). The absence of any of these three characteristics immediately disqualifies a statement as an apology: a sincere expression of remorse for the behavior, the promise never to repeat the behavior, and the undertaking to undo, as far as possible, the damage done by the behavior. &#xD;
&#xD;
“Well,” we hear some say, “the first conditions was obviously met… we all heard Mr. Harper recount a comprehensive list of offenses, halting at each one and saying ‘Canada apologizes’ and ‘it was wrong,’ didn’t we?” &#xD;
&#xD;
Suppose, after beating his wife to the point of hospitalizing her, a man attempted to make amends in the following manner: “I’m sorry I gave you a black eye… it was wrong; I’m sorry I chipped your teeth… it never should have happened; I apologize for breaking your arm… it never should have happened; I apologize for bruising your ribs… it was wrong;” and so on. &#xD;
&#xD;
Does this sound odd to you? It does to us. Why would anyone choose to express his remorse in such a fashion? In “apologizing” to his wife, has the man adopted this manner of speaking, perhaps, to be more thorough (the list could go on and on…)? We think not. In this instance, the specificity of the list helps him avoid saying something, something more comprehensive, something more general, but in this case, something much more accurate: “I’m sorry I physically assaulted you. It was a criminal action on my part.” &#xD;
&#xD;
We don’t believe Prime Minister Harper adopted this obscurantist form of address to be more comprehensive; we believe he did so to avoid saying I’m sorry the Canadian government committed genocide against you. It was a criminal action on our part. &#xD;
&#xD;
(Of course, Mr. Harper was unauthorized to avoid saying something similar on behalf of the churches; they’ve been doing their own artful dodging for years.) &#xD;
&#xD;
Consequently, if we’re right the sincerity of what was said evaporates as an apology for residential schooling. Thus it was no apology at all, but bluff and continued evasion. We believe he said what he said honestly; that is, that he sincerely believed in what he was saying, but only because, for the governments and individuals he was representing (past and present), he had to craft an evasive statement that he could, in all sincerity, endorse. Did Mr. Harper, all on his own, come up with this muddied, tortured declaration right off the cuff, or perhaps just a few minutes before he came down the stairs with his escorts in tow? Well, since Indian Affairs Minister Strahl has been telling us for weeks now what Harper was going to say, we doubt it. We also doubt that the Conservative party didn’t have a team of lawyers, rhetoricians, and spin doctors, if not writing the statement, at least agonizing over every phrase, every word, every revelation in the evolving document, considering in detail every implication and weighing each possible consequence. Someone was even counting the number of words. No, what we saw was carefully considered, and when such a carefully prepared and comprehensively vetted document does some things (and not others) it is no accident. &#xD;
&#xD;
So then, is our “belief” about what Mr. Harper was evading correct? We had no trouble seeing through the Prime Minister’s tortured prose because we’re well aware of related issues (such as the ones we began this essay with) that are no part of what the average Canadian is supposed to know and what government and church officials know all too well: the United Nations Genocide Convention and Canada’s role in it. &#xD;
&#xD;
Take a moment and judge for yourself: go online (if you’re not online already) and find the text of the UN Genocide Convention. If you know anything about the internet you’ll have no trouble finding it; we give the text of Article II below: &#xD;
Art. 2. In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: &#xD;
(a) Killing members of the group; &#xD;
( Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; &#xD;
© Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; &#xD;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; &#xD;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. &#xD;
&#xD;
Many of you will be reading this for the first time. You aren’t supposed to be reading it at all. We call attention to sections ( and, especially, (e), which we call the “Slam Dunk.” If pressed we’d be willing to argue the entire list, but we don’t have to: the Article says any, not all. Even Mr. Harper in his statement comes perilously close to the Slam Dunk a couple of times: &#xD;
&#xD;
“…very young children were often forcibly removed from their homes…” &#xD;
&#xD;
and &#xD;
&#xD;
“…it was wrong to forcibly remove children from their homes and we apologize for having done this.” &#xD;
&#xD;
Was he, in subconscious guilt, aping a phrase he had read a million times before with the understanding he must avoid it at all costs? … or, perhaps, intentionally teetering along the edge of a precipice, in order to mock the dozen or so of us who were waiting to see if he used the correct word? We don’t know. He creeps into another neighborhood ( once again when he mentions: &#xD;
&#xD;
“…emotional, physical and sexual abuse and neglect of helpless children…” &#xD;
&#xD;
but that’s as close as he gets to any of the other categories of acts constituting genocide in international law. It isn’t crucial, however; we already have the Slam Dunk. &#xD;
&#xD;
Well, isn’t there some way around this… this… embarrassing fact? No. One of the contributors to the current document wrote a book 14 years ago that established the genocide that was Indian residential schooling, and the absence of ways around it was thoroughly dealt with there. However, no one read it then and no one is going to read it now (although it’s still available in print form, and free on the internet at www.nativestudies.org), particularly when we’ve gone and spoiled the ending for everyone. &#xD;
&#xD;
But then, is there no “responsible” authority (not just a dozen or so Indians, and worse, Indian-lovers, who can read and add and reason) who can tell you, our present readership, whether our “interpretation” is right or wrong? (Over the years, time and again, work on this issue has been slighted by phrases like “X believes that the residential schools were genocide,” or “In X’s opinion, Canada and the churches are guilty of genocide,” like it was some disputable quirk on X’s part that is at issue. Well, it’s the United Nations “opinion,” as expressed in the black-and-white of the Convention, that Canada and the churches committed genocide, and the UN is the body that in 1948 got to say what genocide was.) Okay. In support of our “interpretation,” we call what all must agree is a “responsible” authority… the government of Canada. &#xD;
&#xD;
Also available on the above web site is a paper that provides more detail and references concerning Canada’s disreputable collusion with the United States in gutting a form of the genocide convention that would have been much more explicit with respect to the point we’re making. The current convention is a watered-down version of the proposals of Raphael Lemkin (the man who coined the term “genocide” in 1944), but even watered down it is sufficient. So sufficient that, when it came time to implement the Genocide Convention in Canada’s criminal code (which was what each nation of the United Nations was supposed to do), Canada omitted entire subsections of the UN Convention (by 1970, (, (d), and (e) were gone, Canada telling anyone who asked that the laws against murder and manslaughter already banned genocide – reducing genocide, as they discussed in the early 50’s, to outright killing). No less an authority than eventual Prime Minister Lester Pearson had suggested that surgery had to be performed on the UN Genocide Convention, or otherwise Canada and its churches would be in violation of it… and, for heavens’ sake, Indians might someday learn to read! &#xD;
&#xD;
It’s true that even the Convention as articulated provided sufficient wiggle room to allow countries to adopt modified versions of it. But, as remarked by a commentator who first encountered the Convention last Wednesday, Canada’s excisions and elisions betoken a guilty conscious about what it had been up to. After all, this is what the US, with Canada’s aid, had forced through the conference dealing with this particular issue, and if it was good enough in principle for everyone else in the world, why was it inappropriate for Canada? &#xD;
&#xD;
Finally, sometime in the late 1990’s, Canada quietly, surreptitiously, and without ceremony removed genocide as a chargeable offense from its criminal code, leaving mention of it now solely in the provisions against hate crimes. &#xD;
&#xD;
We find it interesting how closely the vaporization of genocide in Canadian law coincided with rising consciousness in Native America on the distance between what international law said and what governments had done, and with a government-commissioned secret study that warned the Chrétien government that Canada was liable with respect to the “genocide issue” and recommended it bite the bullet and ‘fess up. As always, Canada provided itself with some explanatory “wiggle room” about why they did what they did, but we would certainly like to ask some direct questions of the officials involved, as well as examine documents and internal correspondence on these subjects (but see below). But, to summarize in a fashion both short and blunt, the history of Canada’s involvement in the creation and implementation of genocide law, nationally and internationally, betokens an overriding concern with its culpability and liability with respect to its treatment of indigenous peoples in general, and its operation of Indian residential schools in particular. &#xD;
&#xD;
So, Canada itself agrees that our reading of the UN Genocide Convention is correct, and that it accurately characterizes its behavior towards Native Peoples. &#xD;
&#xD;
Okay, you might say, Canada’s behavior is at variance with international genocide law… but didn’t implementing what they did, however maimed and deformed, into Canadian law remove all future problems? After all, aren’t their actions simply a version of what the United States, also worried about the possibility of being charged with genocide, undertook… adopting a limited version of the Convention, finally, at the end of the Regan administration, and then subjecting it to interpretation by American courts? &#xD;
&#xD;
It’s true it was pure evasion, but it isn’t true that it lets Canada off any hook. Apart from the “guilty conscious” their behavior evidences, putting aside any question of legal liability that might or might not be attached, and forgoing any discussion of what jurists have long ago established concerning the priority of international law (e.g., that countries and government officials can’t exempt themselves from accountability to international law); instead of all that, just ask yourself: was it merely the failure of the corrupt powers of Rwanda (or Slobodan Milosevic) to exempt themselves (or himself) from the Genocide Convention that got them (or him) into trouble? Suppose the Genocide Convention was in force during the Holocaust… would Hitler’s declaring himself and his chums “immune” have rendered it inoperative? Is that the length the average Canadian is willing to have her or his government go to avoid having to deal with its genocide of indigenous peoples? &#xD;
&#xD;
It has taken us some time, but Mr. Harper’s statement: &#xD;
&#xD;
“…it was wrong to forcibly remove children from their homes and we apologize for having done this.” &#xD;
&#xD;
…must be amended to say: &#xD;
&#xD;
“…it was wrong for the government of Canada to forcibly remove children from their homes and we apologize for having done this. And it was a crime.” &#xD;
&#xD;
Bank robbers, thieves, drunk drivers… all criminals, in fact… don’t get to erase their crimes by saying “I’m sorry,” regardless of how sincerely they might say it. &#xD;
&#xD;
Genocide on the Table &#xD;
&#xD;
A television snippet from country-wide reaction on Wednesday featured Diane Blair crying out “It was genocide! Why not just admit it?!” &#xD;
&#xD;
A fair question, and one well-put. As we have seen, Mr. Harper could have used the term, and it was a deliberate act not to. What motivated him? Without too much thought we can see several reasons, grounds sufficient for us to have anticipated long before Wednesday’s circus that what we weren’t going to hear would be a genuine apology. To answer the woman’s question, first, keep on reading the Convention; immediately you will find: &#xD;
Art. 3. The following acts shall be punishable: &#xD;
(a) Genocide; &#xD;
( Conspiracy to commit genocide; &#xD;
© Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; &#xD;
(d) Attempt to commit genocide; &#xD;
(e) Complicity in genocide. &#xD;
Art. 4. Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in Article 3 shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals. &#xD;
So we have Reason 1: rulers, public officials, and private individuals, criminals all, prefer to avoid being punished for their actions. It is very common, we think, for criminal to not want to be punished. In most cases, however, and unlike the case under consideration (i.e., the Indian residential schools), criminals are not in charge of the political, economic, legal, and journalistic controls of a nation. Journalistic control, of course, particularly necessary if one is going to maintain the manufactured ignorance of multiple millions of Canadians. &#xD;
Reason 2: Canada has held other nations accountable to a standard of international law that it has itself evaded. That is hypocrisy. Canada wants to complain to China about its human rights abuses; it does not want its own abuses thrown back into its face. &#xD;
Reason 3: Assaults, rapes, and every other form of abuse expire in national law, perhaps even in international law, according to their Statute of Limitation. Genocide has no Statute of Limitation. &#xD;
&#xD;
Reason 4: Canada presents itself as a good world citizen, a paragon of virtue. However, a country that bears comparison with Nazi Germany is a paragon of virtue like Charles Manson is a boy scout leader. &#xD;
&#xD;
Reason 5: Speaking like a psychologist for a moment, abusers frequently tell themselves they have good grounds for the abuses they perpetrate. Often they repeat the lie to themselves with such regularity that they come to believe it. &#xD;
&#xD;
Reason 6: This is a reason the head of the United Church gave us in a public meeting in 2002: “genocide” is such a harsh word that the membership of his church would be upset by its use, however appropriate. Thus, it’s better to perform genocide than give it its proper name. So perhaps Canada is similarly just thinking about the tender sensibilities of its real citizens, and not those of its pseudo-citizens against whom the genocide was implemented. &#xD;
&#xD;
Reason 7: The lengths Canada has gone (first, to limit the definition of genocide, and second, to obstruct every way there might have been for indigenous peoples to even raise it as an issue) shows the fear that, if the governments and churches show “weakness,” Indians will treat them with the same rapacity Westerners show weaknesses detected in one another. That is, that Indians will behave like Westerners (the irony that this transformation is what the residential school were trying to institute has not escaped our notice). It is to our credit that there is no evidence at all that we would behave in such an inhuman manner. More than for any other reason, the moves that have been made toward litigation have been motivated by the government and churches closing off any other ways of seeking redress. From the beginning, all the survivors wanted was a genuine apology, along the criteria we’ve mentioned at the beginning of this commentary. &#xD;
&#xD;
Reason 8: For us, Reason 1 and its first cousin, Reason 7 are is the overriding motivations behind avoiding the word “genocide.” But it takes not a moments reflection to appreciate that, once “genocide” is on the table, its application across the entire range of policies and programs affecting Native Peoples, historically and contemporaneously, must be considered. &#xD;
&#xD;
Let’s briefly look at some specific cases in light of Reason 8. So; how well does “genocide” fit the various incentives manufactured over the years for Indians to enfranchise themselves or to be enfranchised? Perfectly, we think. So; how descriptive is “genocide” concerning the 60’s and 70’s Scoops, where uncounted numbers of indigenous children were adopted out, some overseas, to non-Native foster parents? Flawlessly, in our opinion. (Sterilization? Who said that?) Or, can “genocide” accurately characterize the current status of suicide in aboriginal communities? It can and it does, we would argue. &#xD;
&#xD;
And on and on. Maybe some of you would prefer to argue the point, but that’s our point: the Indian residential schools were not isolated idiosyncrasies of a few members of a governmental department or two. Genocides involve a host of interrelated and interwoven policies and programs, the understanding of which requires sustained effort and the application of all 5 of the specific headings given under Article II. The Nazis, for goodness’ sake, made it illegal for Jews to own parrots! &#xD;
&#xD;
Bringing genocide to the table would take the churches, but more centrally the government of Canada, into the exhaustive examination of additional regions of its policies and programs with respect to indigenous peoples, regions that, up until now, it has successfully avoided (or at least, as it is now trying to do with residential school, managed to isolate from other policies). And, what is perhaps even more important, establishing that Canada’s policies toward indigenous peoples constitute an historic and ongoing genocide rules out Mr. Harper’s statement as an apology, since such would violate the second feature of a genuine apology; someone who is still doing it can’t be promising not to do it again. &#xD;
&#xD;
If Genocide, Why? &#xD;
&#xD;
So far we have only dealt with why what Mr. Harper said on Wednesday was not an apology (to summarize, he meticulously avoided using the proper term “genocide” to characterize Canada’s actions, thereby impugning the sincerity with which he had worked so hard to infuse his words). But at the outset we objected to more than the non-apologetic nature of his statement; we took exception with characterizations he made of the actions of the churches and governments. &#xD;
&#xD;
We don’t dispute his repeated assertions that “it was wrong.” For us, this was a no-brainer: genocide is wrong. Mr. Harper’s pathetic attempt to insinuate mitigating circumstances (“While some former students have spoken positively about their experiences at residential schools…”), another evasion which disqualifies his statement as an apology (just try to apologize for killing someone while driving under the influence of alcohol by saying “I always do silly things when I’m drunk”), also boomerangs when we consider the irrelevance of the specifics of a genocide to decide upon its “wrongness.” After all, some Jews learned a useful trade working as slave labor in concentration camps; some made new friends; many lost weight; and some even had their metabolisms re-set, so that they were able to maintain a healthy weight for the rest of their lives! But when you make the moral decision that genocide is wrong, you don’t have to listen to sophistry that tries to turn the task of making moral judgments into an accounting of the “goods” and “bads” of a particular program. &#xD;
&#xD;
There are numerous other places we could be picayune. Calling residential schools “educational institutions” grated on us, for example. But in at least one more point the presentation descended much too far into pure fiction for us to leave it uncommented. With genocide now revealed as the accurate term to characterize the governments’ and the churches’ actions, the question of why arises. Even Mr. Harper, in evading the issue of genocide, still felt compelled to provide his listeners with an historical vignette of the underlying cause of creation and operation of the schools: &#xD;
&#xD;
“Two primary objectives of the residential schools system were to remove and isolate children from the influence of their homes, families, traditions and cultures, and to assimilate them into the dominant culture. These objectives were based on the assumption that aboriginal cultures and spiritual beliefs were inferior and unequal.” &#xD;
&#xD;
There you have it; the objective was to assimilate Indians, because we were believed to have inferior cultures (spiritual beliefs are an expression of culture, and thus redundantly included in Mr. Harper’s statement). This was “wrong,” “caused great harm,” and has “no place in our country.” &#xD;
&#xD;
We have no doubt about the “great harm” part of his statement; however, you should notice how it leaves the agents of all this misery unnamed. It was “the residential school system” that had objectives (and not people working for the churches and governments), and the “inferiority assumption” apparently just hung in mid-air during the years of operation of residential schools, unattached to anything identifiable as a human being wearing a frock or business suit. &#xD;
&#xD;
Are things any better when we supply warm bodies to this dodge? Well, inserting human beings into all this would at least make explicit that it was people who had the objectives of (1) removing Indian children from their forms of life and (2) insinuating them into mainstream culture, and that people had the (now more obviously racist) assumption that Indians were inferior. So now, our agreeing that this was “wrong” allows us to encapsulate and restate this part of Mr. Harper’s little history lesson into “people did harmful things to Indians because those people were racists.” &#xD;
&#xD;
But anyone who thinks we are satisfied with this rendering is much too used to bad movie scripts, where bad people do bad things because they are bad. As if the clergy and governmental officials responsible were all wearing black hats. Life is not so simple. &#xD;
&#xD;
First, the image that in Indian residential schools an “inferior” culture was being replaced with a “superior” culture (which thinking, thanks to the P. M., we now know has “no place” in Canada) is simply wrong. Indian children were not being taught to drink tea with their pinkies extended, speak with an affected English accent, or appreciate poetry and opera; they were being taught to perform as menials (domestics, farm hands, cooks, etc.) for members of the superior culture (and even the not-so-elevated members of that culture). If they were expected to learn anything in residential schools, it was to learn their place; to perform, without question and with dispatch, the commands of their betters. If this was assimilation into “dominant culture” it was into its lowest, most wretched, most disposable stratum, where the inhabitants moiled to eke out a marginal existence. It was alright that these serfs would be Indians; after all, our “betters” have never really concerned themselves with the color of their peons. &#xD;
&#xD;
Second, attributing this all to “the racists” (who, thank heaven, no longer have a place in Canada) erects a faceless, nameless straw man we’re all supposed to take a turn at pummeling. But this piece of misdirection insinuates that ideology determines actions, rather than actions determining ideology. This is too big a subject to go into here, but ideologies of race, race inferiority, and sub-humanity arise from the material needs to dispossess and expropriate, and not vice versa. Canada’s wealth has arisen from the willingness of the settler society to simply take what they want from indigenous populations (just ask the Lubicon, the Cree of Northern Quebec, and the Labrador Innu, for recent examples). It’s in casting about for some excuse to justify satisfying a material agenda that Canadians have had to create and then invoked the non-humanity of the real owners of Canada. &#xD;
&#xD;
Consequently, holding anonymous racists responsible for the woes of Indians and assuring us they no longer abide here is nothing but additional falsification on a heroic level. For banishing faceless and nameless spirits to some vasty deep does no such thing as long as the material need to do away with Indian rights and claims continues to abide here. Thus Mr. Harper’s history lesson is nothing more than another kind of bribe… like the forthcoming Truth and Reconciliation Commission. “Just let us insinuate a comic-book version of Canada,” it says. “We don’t have to name the ghosts in the story; we all know who they were anyway. We’ll just pretend they’re all gone now, so you can sleep better at nights. And we get to pretend there’s a clean and complete split with this admittedly reprehensible past.” But the past is present, and it seems, the future. &#xD;
&#xD;
Resolving Anything Useful? &#xD;
&#xD;
For a “clean break” the events of Wednesday leave an enormous number of loose ends (some thicker than the Atlantic Cable) flailing around, at least for us. Even several of the leaders of the other political parties, in their responses to Mr. Harper’s statement, noted on Wednesday that it was short on detail. But, by Mr. Harper’s words and by implication the upcoming Truth and Reconciliation Commission is left to sort out the remaining specifics. &#xD;
&#xD;
Is it up to the task? Not even in the cartoon world Mr. Harper has created, much less in the real world. &#xD;
&#xD;
As already mentioned the statement not only said things we dispute, it left unmentioned a host of issues we needed to see addressed. Let’s run through a few of the omissions: &#xD;
&#xD;
(1) Genocide. Is the commission going to bring this up? And so what if it does? Canada has already demonstrated it will simply ignore the charge if it’s made, and has been careful to eliminate any possibility of treating the matter in a serious way. Minister Strahl, for example, stated repeatedly in the run-up to Wednesday that nothing Mr. Harper would say would prohibit an ongoing, aggressive investigation into crimes associated with the residential school. But he knew, as we did, that the central crime had already been removed from consideration. Even if Indian after Indian stands before the commission and charges genocide, nothing will happen about it. Most of all, such repetition will only dispose the “average” Canadian, who is supposed to be getting an education on these things, into the familiar stupor of “there go those damned Indians again, always complaining about something.” &#xD;
&#xD;
(2) The Cover-Ups. Once “wrongs” are correctly identified as “crimes,” can anyone else see that Canada and its churches have been covering up the crimes of the residential schools for quite some time now? The pattern of responding to charges made by former prisoners of Indian residential schools was predictable and familiar: stonewall, then impugn the testimony and motives of the victims (“those troublemakers just like to make noise, or they’re looking for another handout”), then admit that maybe, just maybe there was a “bad apple” here and there in a gigantic barrel of nice apples (“some bad things may have happened, but it was all done with the best of intentions”), then throw a sacrifice (preferably one already dead) to a dissatisfied and growing crowd of lawyers, and then go back to stonewalling (“Hey, enough already! The issue has been settled!”). &#xD;
&#xD;
Canada and the churches have worked long and hard to avoid admitting anything (in 1998 it was estimated that the Anglican Church, for one, had spent the overwhelming bulk of their budget for dealing with residential schooling on advice from publicity agencies), much less general and specific criminal acts. As anyone paying attention could probably guess, here the government has long ago moved to limit its own possible damages from colluding in knowingly hiding crimes and hindering investigations, so that, for example, while it’s illegal in Canada to destroy documents needed for criminal investigations the people who do the destroying can’t be charged with anything (the “Naughty-Naughty” Principle). &#xD;
&#xD;
But the churches have long looked out for their own, with known pedophiles in their ranks given a “time out” and then transferred to a new assignment without the inconvenience of having to face a criminal charge. By the way, isn’t this what Becket and King Henry were arguing about back in the 13th century? Eventually, didn’t English law come down on Henry’s side? We have to agree with Henry on this one. &#xD;
&#xD;
The victims of abuse at residential schools have had to endure not only the original abuse, but the vituperation and calumny of criminals and those assisting criminals in evading disclosure and prosecution. And, for parliamentarians and bureaucrats, even if they’ve removed themselves from the possibility of formal criminal charges under the existing criminal code, justice demands an accounting and acknowledgement of the cover-up as much as it demands them of the original crimes. &#xD;
&#xD;
(3) The Secret Histories. Attention has been focused so much on church and governmental abuses that there is a clear and present danger that an additional unknown number of malefactors will slip through the cracks. It has already been acknowledged that, for example, in the 50’s the Canadian Medical Association asked for, and received, permission to study the distribution and growth of tuberculosis in “human” populations by giving unpasteurized milk to the children in residential schools. Around the same time, the Canadian Dental Association asked for, and received, permission to study the lifelong development and growth of caries (tooth decay) in “human” populations by giving “sham treatments” to Indian children in residential schools. Here, not only are the people who “authorized” these child abuses culpable, so are the people who ask for them. Both these cases, of course, took place long after the Nuremburg Protocols for ethical research with human beings had been articulated and accepted. &#xD;
&#xD;
Nor does it end here. The notorious Dr. Cameron, who, while in the pay of the Central Intelligence Agency, used electroshock and mind-altering drugs to experiment on innocent Canadians (a chapter in Canadian history immortalized, so to speak, in a CBC movie), also had some kind of involvement with Indian residential schools, mainly in the Prairie provinces. Rumors abound (since at least the early 90’s), but there has never been enough hard evidence to sustain charges. Doesn’t this bear investigation? &#xD;
&#xD;
In fact, with a captive population and a supervening authority at best indifferent to their well-being and without any mechanism of complaint or due process available to the victims, what could not have happened? On this subject our imaginations have already been far outstripped by what everyone admits actually did happen; what a broadly-thrown finely-gauged net might dredge up is, in our opinion, anybody’s guess. The (now, finally, at last) movement to start digging in church graveyards and remote, unmarked locations is merely the tip of an iceberg, one that could well nail, even for those Canadians at the utmost levels of denial, the concept of genocide to Canada’s treatment of indigenous peoples. &#xD;
&#xD;
There’s more (Sterilization? Who said that?), but this is enough for now. These three loose ends, rather than “details” that can be dealt with summarily, are, we predict, Hydra’s Heads that will sprout hundreds or even thousands of additional inquiries if pursued with due diligence. We have a number of problems with the upstart commission, but our question here is: Is the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” equal to this task? &#xD;
&#xD;
This commission can (1) subpoena no witnesses, (2) compel no testimony, (3) requisition no document. It cannot find, charge, fine, or imprison. Thus far, the only ones lining up to testify are members of groups who have already testified (the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples generated thousands of pages of testimony from school survivors, a corpus, we must add, that has not in the slightest way entered into the consciousness of the average Canadian in the 12 years since its publication) and those who still maintain sufficient plausible deniability to publicly defend its inactions (the RCMP, for example). Those most obviously culpable have already stated their intentions not to bother showing up. &#xD;
&#xD;
Will, somehow, the victims of residential schooling show up dragging bales of documents proving abusive actions, abusive policies, collusion, cover-ups, etc. on the part of ministers, bureaucrats, clergy, professors, bag-men, pedophiles, and the full host of assorted miscreants? They’d better, for the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” won’t have them. &#xD;
&#xD;
Or maybe we just need to pray for our own version of a governmental or ecclesiastical “Valachi,” who will show up and rat out the Dons, all the way up to and including the Capo de Tutti Capi. However, not only is this an extremely thin thread upon which to hang our hopes for truth (and more importantly, JUSTICE); what “witness protection program” is going to protect him or her? &#xD;
&#xD;
“Truth” is an odd name for a body that can trade not at all in that particular commodity. “Reconciliation,” too, is an odd word for five years of allegations that can be either scorned or ignored, according to the tastes of those who are its subject. It invokes the same fantasy world Mr. Harper constructed, where Canadian and indigenous peoples are returned to that happy state of mutual respect and cooperation that existed before the bad old residential schools came along and ruined everything. In “truth,” however, there never has been any “conciliation” to “re.” &#xD;
&#xD;
Conclusions &#xD;
&#xD;
We don’t know about you, but we’ve been unable to swing a dead cat since Wednesday without whacking someone telling up about how the “apology” has “closed a painful chapter” and signals “a new beginning in relations” between “Canadians and Indian-Canadians” (sic). Like someone tearing apart a picture of a former boyfriend or girlfriend, spitting on it, and walking away from the pieces tossed over the shoulder, however, we’ve been witnessing a made-up ceremony, one where the participants, for various reasons, are trying more to convince themselves they’ve dealt with all the serious issues rather than actually putting an end to them. &#xD;
&#xD;
Canada has, once again, missed a truly historic opportunity, putting paste on display rather than an authentic diamond, because the diamond, in someone’s estimation, would have been far too expensive. Already, after the patina of ceremony has worn off, there have been some rumblings, primarily around the fact the Mr. Harper’s statement was long on being sorry and short on being active. And as we pointed out at the start, a real apology promises to undo, as far as possible, the damage done. But now that the statement is revealed as just another evasion, we must caution against whatever action the governments of Canada would propose; as we’ve tried to make clear, the “action” Mr. Harper’s statement endorses, the “Truth” and “Reconciliation” Commission, is no action at all. And someone who steals your car, wrecks it, and is unrepentant about his/her actions is most definitely not the person you’d choose to repair it or replace it. &#xD;
&#xD;
But that person most certainly at the very least would be responsible to pay the costs of repair or replacement. If this be genocide, the role of Canada’s government (and churches) is to make it possible for us to once again make ourselves whole, nothing more and nothing less. How should we do this, how long it will take us, where do we start… these questions and more crowd in on us all. But they are question we must identify, discuss, and answer ourselves. &#xD;
&#xD;
Those of you who saw clearly and immediately the farce that was being played out; those of you who felt in your heart of hearts that the whole orchestration was out of tune but couldn’t identify the offending instruments until now; and those of you who were misled until you brought the powers of your own intellect to the examination of this exercise in rhetorical excess; whatever your history is that led you to the complete this overlong of our commentary; we invite you to join in the task of building what ultimately must replace this charade, some kind of response authentically committed to truth in this history and justice in its resolution. &#xD;

&gt; &#xD;
&gt; Update by Sheldan Nidle for the Spiritual Hierarchy and the &#xD;
&gt; Galactic Federation &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; 5 Ix, 7 Caban, 3 Manik &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; Selamat Jarin! We return with more to discuss with you. The plans &#xD;
&gt; of our Earth allies continue to move forward, and the intention of &#xD;
&gt; us all is to complete these vital tasks as soon as is possible. &#xD;
&gt; While you are approaching your destiny, Mother Earth is busy &#xD;
&gt; transforming herself and at the same time fending off the lunatic &#xD;
&gt; misdeeds of the last dark cabal. Over the last quarter century &#xD;
&gt; this cabal developed a number of exotic weapons designed to amp up &#xD;
&gt; the magnitude of seismic and volcanic activity, thus adding &#xD;
&gt; greatly to the terror and destruction they cause. These devices &#xD;
&gt; are also capable of intensifying the power of tornados and &#xD;
&gt; hurricanes to massive proportions. These weapons were kept under &#xD;
&gt; the tightest security and, until recently, very little used. But &#xD;
&gt; now they are being used against us as well as the people of this &#xD;
&gt; world. It is another sign of how desperate the dark cabal is &#xD;
&gt; feeling. To counteract these devices, we are putting into your &#xD;
&gt; planet's natural energy fields the means to neutralize this &#xD;
&gt; diabolical weaponry while still allowing Mother Earth to continue &#xD;
&gt; her transformative preparations. &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; What we have just described to you is a hint of the lengths the &#xD;
&gt; dark is prepared to go to, to defend its position. These dark &#xD;
&gt; Beings consider your global population much too large to control, &#xD;
&gt; which is why they intend to use everything in their armory against &#xD;
&gt; you. The increasingly exaggerated weather patterns over the past &#xD;
&gt; few years is due in part to these exotic weapons, and in part to &#xD;
&gt; the effects of pollution and the continued hyperactivity of the &#xD;
&gt; Sun. A natural escalation in the intensity and volatility of your &#xD;
&gt; weather patterns is to be expected in the context of a &#xD;
&gt; transforming planet, but the degree in the level of violence you &#xD;
&gt; are now seeing comes from the use of these manmade weapons. The &#xD;
&gt; dark cabal sets no limits on its villainy! The cabalists' plans &#xD;
&gt; are to cause massive calamities that would kill millions at a &#xD;
&gt; time. They also plan to place in your skies the means to deflect &#xD;
&gt; our landings by threatening to wipe out the majority of humanity &#xD;
&gt; when we &#xD;
&gt; actually land. This is unacceptable, and we have effective &#xD;
&gt; countermeasure in place. &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; We are saddened by the lengths this group of dark ones is &#xD;
&gt; determined to go to in order to cling to power, and we do not &#xD;
&gt; enjoy bringing the facts of the situation to your attention. These &#xD;
&gt; ones have spent millennia in a state of omnipotence and are not &#xD;
&gt; about to give up without a flight. But they go too far: Most &#xD;
&gt; outbreaks of potentially serious epidemics around your planet are &#xD;
&gt; deliberate and have their origins in their laboratories. We are &#xD;
&gt; heavy-hearted at having to use the measures necessary to disarm &#xD;
&gt; these perpetrators of terror and to rid your world of this &#xD;
&gt; arsenal. We need to alert you to the possibility that &#xD;
&gt; repercussions of this gloves-off phase of the conflict may spill &#xD;
&gt; over into the public arena and thus require public explanations. &#xD;
&gt; Here the mainstream media is likely to resort to its habit of &#xD;
&gt; using lies and distortion to cover up anything that is out of the &#xD;
&gt; ordinary. Bizarre or inexplicable fallout from the upcoming &#xD;
&gt; attacks and counterattacks may &#xD;
&gt; be explained away as "tragic but chance events." &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; Our role is to assist our Earth allies and to defend them with all &#xD;
&gt; that Heaven permits us to use. The Divine intends to use us to &#xD;
&gt; bring your world to the very brink of first contact and to allow &#xD;
&gt; us to complete the mission according to Heaven's specifications. &#xD;
&gt; First contact is the final step that completes your emergence from &#xD;
&gt; the insanity imposed on you by the dark. It permits you to finish &#xD;
&gt; off your transformation into fully conscious Beings of Light. &#xD;
&gt; Getting you to this watershed in your history is what currently &#xD;
&gt; constitutes the bulk of our mission. We have carefully come &#xD;
&gt; together with our Earth allies as they learned to accept us and &#xD;
&gt; our mission to your world. We are now united in our goals and have &#xD;
&gt; drawn up the strategies that carry out the decrees of the Creator. &#xD;
&gt; This bond has opened up new avenues of cooperation that have &#xD;
&gt; allowed the people of Agartha to prepare for the reunion of the &#xD;
&gt; surface and inner Earth peoples, which is to reach its full &#xD;
&gt; flowering after the lass landings. &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; This growing trust and mutual respect allows us to expand upon the &#xD;
&gt; integration of our personnel with our Earth allies. This helps us &#xD;
&gt; to coordinate our responses to the machinations of the dark &#xD;
&gt; cabalists. This process of "thrust and parry" is one aspect of our &#xD;
&gt; interaction with the dark; another is the primary underlying &#xD;
&gt; strategy for the dark's coming defeat. This longer-range tactic is &#xD;
&gt; yielding results that allow us to say that victory is very close &#xD;
&gt; at hand. We can also report that the various programs put in &#xD;
&gt; motion by our Earth allies are laying a foundation from which the &#xD;
&gt; new caretaker governments can successfully operate and clear the &#xD;
&gt; path for first contact. In sum, both our projects and those of our &#xD;
&gt; Earth allies are merging effectively into a coherent momentum that &#xD;
&gt; is advancing upon first contact at a steady clip. &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; Mother Earth is bent upon her preparations for her surface &#xD;
&gt; reconfigurations. Continents need to be redesigned and oceans &#xD;
&gt; redefined; major landmasses are to emerge from the depths of the &#xD;
&gt; Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans. To prepare for this, Mother &#xD;
&gt; Earth stepped up the process of locking up her now-drifting &#xD;
&gt; tectonic plates, which greatly augments the likelihood of major &#xD;
&gt; seismic disruptions and exponentially increases the number of &#xD;
&gt; seabed volcanic eruptions. This activity puts the entire surface &#xD;
&gt; area of your planet into a fragile state, which means that much &#xD;
&gt; mischief is possible if someone has the means to do so! As we &#xD;
&gt; described above, it is at this point that the dark took out their &#xD;
&gt; exotic weaponry and began to play. Recent results, among others, &#xD;
&gt; were some devastating earthquakes and a major eruption in South &#xD;
&gt; America. &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; Mother Earth's heightened preparations and the dark's use of its &#xD;
&gt; terror weaponry step up the pressure on our Earth allies and us to &#xD;
&gt; make good on our assurances. We need to quickly put the dark out &#xD;
&gt; of business and set the stage for the interim regimes. These are &#xD;
&gt; to instigate the many beneficial reforms and launch the series of &#xD;
&gt; announcements that are the prelude to first contact. During this &#xD;
&gt; time you can again take up the mantle of Earth stewardship. Our &#xD;
&gt; Earth allies fully understand that the significance of this time &#xD;
&gt; goes way beyond global abundance and securing your individual &#xD;
&gt; sovereignty and freedom. This period is about regaining your full &#xD;
&gt; potential and becoming physical Angels. As a new, unified star &#xD;
&gt; nation, you can fulfill your divine destiny by unfolding the &#xD;
&gt; divine plan for physicality. &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; Much substantial progress has been made and much more is about &#xD;
&gt; ready to happen. This means the final stage of events is quite &#xD;
&gt; close to manifesting. These events have taken the best part of &#xD;
&gt; three decades to prepare. We are fully focused on moving all &#xD;
&gt; pieces of the game plan forward and putting each set of measures &#xD;
&gt; into action when appropriate. We have to carefully orchestrate the &#xD;
&gt; surrender of these cabalists in such a way as to incur only a bare &#xD;
&gt; minimum of disorder. Anticipating and containing the death throes &#xD;
&gt; of the cabal is essential to this end, and the mounting chaos of &#xD;
&gt; the last few months demonstrates the powers at their disposal. The &#xD;
&gt; increasingly frantic actions of the cabalists make them very &#xD;
&gt; unpredictable and volatile, and this could compel us to more &#xD;
&gt; openly intercede in the campaign to disarm them. Whatever way this &#xD;
&gt; stage plays out, know that our joint victory is indeed near. &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; Today, we gave you more information about what is going on around &#xD;
&gt; you. Events are close to manifesting which can put an abrupt end &#xD;
&gt; to the tumult of these end times. Be ready for and focused on your &#xD;
&gt; upcoming victory! Remember that Together, We are Victorious! Know &#xD;
&gt; in your Heart of Hearts that the perpetual Supply and infinite &#xD;
&gt; Abundance of Heaven are indeed Yours! Selamat Majon! Selamat &#xD;
&gt; Kasitaram! (Sirian for Rejoice! and Be Blessed in Heavenly Love &#xD;
&gt; and Joy!) &#xD;

&gt; attacks, mind control &amp;amp; torture, and all of the lowly, pathetic &#xD;
&gt; attempts made to steal our light. &#xD;
&gt; &#xD;
&gt; The Cabal in all its forms is on notice. They must cease and &#xD;
&gt; desist now, and they will - or have God on Most High to answer to. &#xD;

										&lt;div&gt;We experience but a fragment of each other - by Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine) &#xD;
&#xD;
You can only know one fragment of another human because the rest of between God and Self. If you make a judgment based on what you think you know another person is, you have pretty much entered "fool" territory because your experiences are not all-encompassnig.  Each of our auras changes in every moment....I've personally changed in infinite ways by the time I finish typing this sentence. You may witness me one day, but I can assure you that I've already moved on from that moment, have you?  I believe that we are all Angels remembering who we are.....what exactly are your core beliefs, do you see humans as being fundamentally stupid? If so, may I remind you that you are a reflection of  your beliefs about Self?  Unlearn your satanic-influenced values, attitudes and beliefs around the energy that you are somehow a superior being to other lesser beings.  The Universe measures our spiritual growth in units of consciousness, not self-delusion. :) So many have mastered their easy lessons however on planet earth, all lessons must be experienced and passed (where one comprehends the Light inherent in every moment), or they simply come up again and again....me? I'll be lying on the beach at Little Manitou Lake, banging my drums, soaking up the sun, studying the sky....witnessing it's love.&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;The Jesus that many of us have come to know via religion did really exist. &#xD;
Even the bible "el bib" spiritually spoonfed the masses some truth....."Jesus would bear a new name in 2000 years".&#xD;
Guess what dear ones....2000 years have passed and Jesus is now known as "Sananda Esu Immanuel".&#xD;
You may verify this information at http://www.fourwinds10.com/journals.&#xD;
Sananda is flying around a spaceship and has made his attempt for the masses to notice him.&#xD;
Did you expect that the Christed One would be flinging his arms in traffic to get you to notice him?&#xD;
Sananda has made himself known and now it's up to you to seek him out.&#xD;
Seek out your Creator's chosen son.......seek him out!&#xD;
Seek out those who are bringing you Truth.....let their words be like golden Light to your malnourished mind and spirit.&#xD;
Bask in the radiance of Sananda's words.....allow yourself to but aside the mundanes things of life in order to experience divinity.&#xD;
The Universe wants you to have divine moments, but it won't force you to if your heart isn't in it.&#xD;
If you don't want the fifth dimension, the Universe will not take you there.&#xD;
Sananda wants to assist you, and he loves you.&#xD;
Sananda has posted channelled messages however many writings that are posted that bear his name are not is and are cia disinformation and are not his true writings.  If there was ever a time for you to use your discernment, that time would be now.&#xD;
Imagine your perfect dream and in that dream was a hero to the soul, delicious nourishment to a bruised spirit, hungry for a wholesome serving of Truth.....if I were in your perfect dream and I was playing the role of introducing this heroic being into your presence, that being would be Sananda.  You may meet Sananda via his words, and he says he is but a breathe away from each of us, check out the Phoenix Journals http://www.fourwinds10.com/journals and read Sananda's words,  seek your loving guide, seek your saviour, seek the honourable ones....the divine ones...seek them out.  &#xD;
Thank you for sharing this special writing, I hope you talk about Sananda with your loved ones....it's all very intriguing and uplifting I simply wish everyone to know about Sananda, however I'm not going to be jumping up and down in traffic either, trying to force people to notice him, however now and again I like to guide people to Sananda.....Sananda is Jesus and he's evolved 2000 years.....stand along side of him and behold.  &#xD;
I have a special relationship with Sananda and I want you to have a special relationship with him too.&#xD;
Imagine how your Light will blossom if you have a special relationship with the being in the bible known as Jesus, who has evolved 2000 years and is on a spaceship right now beaming messages to earth, softly like a meadow breeze so gentle that only the most sensitive ones would feel it's whisper on their skin.&#xD;

										&lt;div&gt;Would it help you to see? - by Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine)&#xD;
&#xD;
Would it help you to see your community failing over and dying in the sidewalk, before you comprehended that they are hungry and starving people living among you right now?&#xD;
Would it help you to see the middle east bombed to bits, before you decided to become more involved in world civic affairs?&#xD;
Would it help you to see the world robot army that the governments have built, before you gave peace a REAL chance?&#xD;
Would it help you to see a homeless child feed garbage to another homeless child, before you focused on creating a reality where abundant food is a normality?&#xD;
Would it help you to see your neighbour's fighting and killing each other by each other's hands, before you personally became interested and influencing in the direction of civic, national, planetary, and interplanetary affairs?&#xD;
Would it help you to watch more of your favorite entertainment shows and videos, to witness the obvious mindcontrol? &#xD;
Would it help you to know that violent movies and video games breed violent adults, before you gave your babies and children toys from "Toys R Satan"?&#xD;
Would it help you to see babies dying in the street as you go to work, before you realized that that's what YOUR taxpayers dollars are doing in the middle east for other people who are working in the rubble of their destroyed cities?&#xD;
Would it help you to be an astute investor of your money, when you know deep down, that the gov't as you've help create it to be, has plans to own everything (even the gold filings of your ancestors buried 6 ft under).&#xD;
Would it help you ask God to assist you in creating your personal flow in spirit?&#xD;
Would it help you to see other people respond positively to your energy as you walk into a room or can you remain in your balance regardless of their reaction to your presense?&#xD;
Would it help you to see yourself personally assert your might to create everything your heart desires?&#xD;
Would it help you to look here? ==================&gt; No matter what we go through....no matter what your actions are, or are not..... it's still all about love.&#xD;

										&lt;div&gt;Caressing your third eye with a golden feather - by Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine)&#xD;
&#xD;
Keep your heart focused on Light and your ability to create wondrous and beautiful life experiences from the pulse of Light beaming from you, out into the Universe, you've done it many times before, you'll do it again, you can do it now.  There's a powerful Light shining on you right now, and untold numbers of beings all watching you and assisting you.....can you block out all the ugliness that is all around you, and see you as an Angel who came here to love and to radiate that love, thus transmuting that ugliness into the energy that helps to make you and the planet well once again.  That Angel is you. You play the role of the Angel in the lives of many, is this simply not the truth? That longing in your heart....it's not your longing for a soul mate.....it's your desire to know the rest of yourself that you've kept hidden from Self....remember that the Universe didn't design you to be "incomplete"...... Remember how so many times it's common for us humans....to forget how Angelic....how beauticious.....how radiant and powerful our shining Light is....shine that Light outward and proud without resistance, and watch yourself attract your rightful star family that you will relate to at the soul level and beyond.....your soul family....everybody is here and you're here....is it not time to meet those who resonate with you in ways you've yet to experience in friendships and family.  I have faith that you will rise in your greatest strengths and remember that you are here to experience today in the totality of your being.  You are the bridge that carries the Golden Age into the arms of the untold generations to seed our species with the Light needed to carry us swiftly to the fifth dimension and beyond...can we all not see and celebrate the special children that are being born with more of their galactic memory intact, let's listen to their words and sentiments, let's all focus once again, on the gentle energies of the feminine divine that exists in both genders.  Earth is rocking and rolling.....let's not play too much longer in the energies of "victim" and "perpetrator" if we desire a better way of existance. You have my support brother, build your power from within.... your inner voice is whispering your solutions to you.....your spirit guides are caressing your third eye with a golden feather.&#xD;

Love,&#xD;

      <title>A vision for 2008-2012 -  by Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine)</title>

      <description>&lt;a href="http://people.tribe.net/26856b14-2d29-46c3-97ae-1b37f316d93b/blog/bf586435-c97d-45a3-a7aa-440334058809"&gt;  						          &lt;img class=" picThumb" src="http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/bce/cd0/bcecd0c1-de50-4988-b02c-072ffcddeb7e.thumb" width="65" height="48" alt="" /&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
It's true, both you and me are hardwired to make the journey 2008-2012 in a loving manner.&#xD;
We are designed to flow with the awakening of consciousness that is spreading across the land.&#xD;
Each of us has a seed inside of us, it's the seed of memory, we follow our path to it in spirit.&#xD;
There is NOT one person on our planet, who is not designed for Light, however we must respect the decisions of those who remain in the dark 100% in order to pass through the doorway of Love, fully and completely.&#xD;
In my vision of 2012, the masses become aware of the ALL deceits played upon them, and they rise above each of them in swift grace.&#xD;
In my vision if 2012, the masses request of each other, to respect each other's spiritual reality in Light and Love.&#xD;
Yes we've been bombarded with darkness here in 2008, however it's most gentle response towards Self, to let it all flow through, keeping only the most cherished of experiences deep in the heart.&#xD;
There are no chemtrails past 2012.  The Sylphs of the sky have gained mass acceptance and communicate openly and lovingly with the loving leaders of planet Gaia.&#xD;
The dusty and rusty wheels of war have grinded to a halt before 2012.  Humanity learns how to live in peace with one another because of some catalyzing event that causes the hearts of many to break open like a rising river to a dam.&#xD;
Our star family have long landed upon our shores and have been guiding and assisting each of us to purify and balance Selves, so that we can walk hand in hand into the bright, soothing and motherly Light of the Golden Age on Planet Earth.....our species makes it's leap from "homo sapiens" to "homo cristos" (fifth dimensional Christed beings).&#xD;
Isn't the moment now, to acknowledge that true health comes from purifying the electromagnetic field, removing any electrical/vibrational frequency that may be interfear-ing with glorious Godself that resides within? (The government fears that you will know this information, share it with others and thus render the governments of the world obsolete.  &#xD;
Can you take back your power from authority figures in a just and gentle manner in Light and Love, thus creating an even quicker and gentler planetary awakening for all?&#xD;
Your anger is not useful to the rest of us at this time, unless you use the opportunity of anger to shine even more Light, rather than feeding the fire of anger. Anger can be destructive and it can be used to catalyse the energies of Love....which is your personal preference?&#xD;
The Universe gives us all eternity to be ourselves, this existing reality is but a fraction of a heartbeat in a lifetime that lasts forever. &#xD;
The year 2012 represents a moment of a quantum shift.....our species and the Universe continues to bend time from here until then.&#xD;
&#xD;
Love,&#xD;
&#xD;
Dieter&#xD;
&#xD;
I enjoy posting videos on Youtube....won't you visit them and see if you can feel the Light pouring into your soul. &#xD;

      <title>We are eternal and so is our Love - by Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine)</title>

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
We are having a beautiful awakening and it goes something like this....&#xD;
We are realizing that our world is awakening to the Light that exists all around us.&#xD;
We know within our DNA, that each moment counts for time itself is shifting.&#xD;
We know that when a door opens, Light floods in, and not out.&#xD;
We can sense the Love that floods the planet even while others are steeped in drama.&#xD;
We are aware of what a joy it is to know and love one's Self.&#xD;
We are becoming more conscious in each breathe.&#xD;
We can alter the oxygen we breathe with focused intent.&#xD;
Each human today can live abundantly on a planet of this size.&#xD;
Everybody here is entitled to be free of each other, so that we can live together in harmony.&#xD;
Isn't it true that we are have allowed people to take advantage of our inherent weaknesses as Angels in the process of remembrance?&#xD;
So many memories are failing all around us due to the toxificiation of our species.....purification efforts will restore memory of this and all lifetimes.&#xD;
The Truth is, there is no such thing as independence, except in our relationship with Creator.&#xD;
There is a Light inside each of us, and we recognize it in each other as a familiar and attractive energy. &#xD;
Let's help bring out each other's illusions into the Light in a graceful and loving manner as spirit guides us to do so.&#xD;
Let's be in 100% acceptance of each other's decisions......and lessen the friction that scratches the surface of spirit.&#xD;
As eternal beings, we have no real use for the existing banking system based on linear time.....we are multidimensional, we are eternal and so is Love.&#xD;
As eternal loving beings, we have no use for the world as many have created it to be...let's recreate our world in spirit and in our Love.&#xD;
Let's make a pledge to welcome in all assistance from the Universe, to help us to recreate our world in Love and Light.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
Love,&#xD;

Here's a very light and sometimes funny video of me and my friend Michael talking about Sylphs.  Check out Michael's painting he created in the years 2002 and 2004 and see why I feel that Michael had unknowingly painted Sylphs....watch him come to understand their existance. &#xD;

I've moved from Saskatoon to Manitou Beach (one hour's drive from Saskatoon).  At this resort village I'll be offering weekend sky and water tours, and I expect the many Sylphs and Cloudships in the area to be making their appearances for me, the locals and the tourists. &#xD;
&#xD;
Let's watch our sky fill with love even more everyday,&#xD;

      <title>IONIC FOOT BATH TESTIMONIAL</title>
      <link>http://people.tribe.net/26856b14-2d29-46c3-97ae-1b37f316d93b/blog/b3071ad1-d729-4c3a-a59d-e03fa554c7bb</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
These are AMAZING!  I have been paying $50.00 a session here in the US for ONE detox treatment with the Aqua Chi foot baths. I wanted my entire family to benefit from the foot baths but we just couldn't afford for all of us to reap the benefits at $50.00 for each session. I have been reading Dieter's health and ascension wisdom on snoedel for several years and I knew he would not be selling a product that did not really work. Once you understand Universal Laws....you start to live by them! I knew Dieter keeps his energy in the positive and would never sell or promote anything that he himself did not use or believe in. So I invested and I am so glad I did! These work just as good, if not better, than the fancy high priced machines. My entire family is benefiting and I find great pleasure in releasing all that no longer serves me, especially all those toxins I created in my body from 35 years of unconscious living. Thank you Dieter. &#xD;
