Video: 500 years of women in western art

Watching this beautiful video of women’s faces morphing into one another with closed lips and very little smiling, I am struck by how the portraits remain very similar to one another — until the 20th century, when “abstraction” suddenly fractured society’s seemingly eternal, archetypal, iconic view of Woman.

VISION: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." Or, we sit stunned, scared, and astonished by wheeling galaxies overhead.

This glorious piece is, I feel, exactly what we need to absorb and reflect upon during this climactic, eonic moment of a very pregnant darkness where we can only wait, hold each other close, and commune with mystery. Just beyond reach, we know not what, and await the shift as day follows night. Thanks to […]

Another view of the Virginia and Colorado "earthquakes": not nuclear, but EMP

Maybe not earthquakes and maybe not nuclear: Here’s another view. Thanks to Steve Beckow. (BTW: some 911 truthers think the towers went due to EMP weaponry, possibly in combination with controlled detonation.) Turning the Cabal’s Own Weapons on Them? 2011 SEPTEMBER 19 by Steve Beckow Randy Maugans of Off-Planet Radio has argued that what happened […]

THRIVE: What on earth will it take?

This little video connects the three major dots: ufos, free energy, and fiat banking — and then counters it with “there is another way:” “The simple power of truth.” “We are not nearly as insignificant as we think we are.” “We can create a world where people can thrive.” Thrive. What on earth will it […]

Zen Gardner links Virginia sinkhole to possibly nuked base

Hmmm. I had wondered the same thing. Glad someone else did the ground work to flesh in this hunch, the likes of which is probably being plucked out of the air by a lot of us simultaneously as one possible node in one possible, parallel, unusually interesting time-line. Thanks to beforeitsnews.com. Nuked Underground Base Causing […]

Economic breakdown as breakthrough

At some point we will scratch the word “desperate,” and realize that this economic breakdown was also a breakthrough — exactly what we needed to stop depending on the “powers that be,” whether governments, or corporations, or banks, all of which keep the hugely wasteful, destructive, and immoral and downright stupid war economy booming for […]

Occupy Wall Street, Day 3: "What is happening in NYC is embryonic, democratic, and authentic."

Yes, that’s what I noticed when watching a video of the ongoing protest last night.

Possible confirmation of one of Fulford's seemingly outlandish claims: Colorado and Virginia "earthquakes" were nuclear explosions

See David Wilcock’s astonishing interview with Ben Fulford. Fulford’s further, and again, seemingly outlandish claim, that up to 60,000 people in the two nuked underground bases perished, is not mentioned here, except in a comment from Hank Mills at the end, which is also well worth reading. I especially appreciated the way Mills takes care […]

Ernest Callenbach (of Ecotopia): The nitty-gritty of how to thrive as we let go of endless growth

Thanks to commondreams.org, originallly published in Solutions.

Missing: 36 thousand pounds of weapons-grade uranium and plutonium

Update: See Stephen’s comment at end, which puts more teeth into the math, though I still don’t know how to figure the whole thing out in terms of numbers of bombs. Thanks, Stephen! (I’m such a dunce at math that I’m even hard pressed to make change. Is this denial? Or is it PTSD, from […]
