I've always assumed that anything I learned or otherwise experienced of a Divine nature was from God. I keep reading people's descriptions of feeling or knowing things via the Holy Spirit, though… but how can they, or anyone, tell which facet of the Divine they're encountering? I haven't seen anything that demonstrates to me that the Holy Spirit even exists, so the jury is still out on that one as far as I'm concerned, but let's say it DOES exist; what is its nature? How does it feel or sound different than God? Do the Holy Spirit and God divide up tasks in a consistent way? I ask God to bring me some enlightenment in this area.

God or Holy Spirit?

God verifies what He wants me to do
Posted in Uncategorized on May 25, 2013| Leave a Comment »
I've been certain for ages that God wants me to go to seminary, and to minister in prisons. As I'm sure is the case for most people, I didn't know anyone with any connection to these things… or so I thought. I mentioned to the N-friend about seminary, and she told me that she has a niece who went to a seminary that she really loved in a neighboring state!! I've asked her to get me some info about that so I can make a contact that will help me get local "spiritual help." That felt like a confirmation of what God wanted. And then on 5-24 I got an email back from the K-friend, who I'd just told about the prison ministry thing, in which she said:
"I used to teach meditation at a men's prison. I also used to bring 12 step meetings into the women's prison and even sponsored a woman for a couple years behind bars. There's nothing quite like being shut up in a room, alone, with a bunch of felons for the first time. Then it becomes perfectly natural. Some of my most gratifying experiences have been with prisoners. I've also been working on a creative writing program for prisoners; I just haven't had time to launch it yet. I think you will love this work."
No one can tell me that people in my life (and I don't have a big group of intimates) having a connection to seminary and experience working with PRISONERS, and never mentioning it until *I* needed guidance to pursue these things, can be accidental or coincidental; this is God showing me how to start moving towards my goal by giving me people to talk to who can help me.
What prompted me to tell the N-friend about seminary (on 2-7-13)? Feeling the first need to reach out to others when it looked like the D-friend might be pulling a disappearing act. What prompted me to contact the K-friend, who I hadn't been corresponding with in a while, and try to draw her back into the meaningful zone of my life? The D-friend sending me a kiss-off email. This also led to me emailing some other friends that I'd stopped struggling to keep in contact with, and we've had some amazing "reunions" (in quotes because we haven't seen each other, just talked on the phone, as they don't live nearby). I'll need these friends restored to closeness for support for seminary and beyond, and to help me with all areas of my personal relations so I won't get too dependent on 1-2 people again.
And, it has led to my roommate and I having another big leap towards recovering the fullness of our relationship, because he was so disgusted with her behavior that he felt some actual sympathy (of which he frankly has very little in his personality) and reached out enough to meet me almost halfway… AND, he has now declared his intention to get my mother's house ready for rental once the school year is over, which will certainly be nice after how long I've been waiting.
And… this "severance" will also benefit me on several levels with the most important person in my life, whose return is feeling closer all the time. In fact, my biggest concern about how we'd ever be back together was how SHE would react, and how I could make it ok for HER.
AND, it's made me aware of how the D-friend was, as described non-coincidentally in JO's sermon from 4-22, "Taking control of your happiness," which was the last one broadcast before that kiss-off email came, a controller, a manipulator, someone who could not be made happy no matter how much I did for her, unless I was also giving her total control of my life. When I saw that sermon, I immediately saw that it was a message about her, and I tried to talk myself out of it, because I was still hoping for things to work out the easy way… but God doesn't do things the easy way, He does them the RIGHT way, and for me to be emotionally dependent and yanked around by someone like that when I'm meant to LEAD, not follow, and when He simply does not want me to be treated with contempt, would keep me in a subservient, noxious situation which would prevent me from being and giving my best. I had long since been pondering how I'd have to keep my seminary and ministry involvement, by far the biggest things I'll ever do, SECRET from her to keep her from trying to dictate how I do them; this should have been a BIG CLUE to me, and seen as part of the overall pattern of having to tailor my life to suit her as described in the previous paragraph, but since it wasn't God stepped in to fix it.
That's a ton of major benefits from ONE kiss-off letter!! God is very efficient; I've seen over and over how He tends to take a small action that creates ripples like a stone thrown into a pond, becoming a far bigger effect than one would have imagined. And there may be more to come. What's certain is that this will cause me to end up far beyond where I'd have been had it not happened; God's blessings are astonishing.
Edit early 5-26: Something I've loved the thought of for a long time is having a little herd of goats. I had the urge to track down another long-lost friend, and discovered that she has… guess what?!! There's ZERO doubt that God has arranged for me to get back together with these people!!
Are they messages, signs, or other?
Posted in Uncategorized on May 22, 2013| 17 Comments »
(A sign is a clue about what God is doing or, much more commonly, intends to do, and a message is information that He gives us to teach or guide us.)
God DOES give us messages and signs; JO always says so, and besides that it's always been overwhelmingly obvious to me. What's less obvious is where that line is between a clear sign and wishful thinking, between a message and a random oddity or a coincidence. Here's are 2 such gray areas for the past few days.
1) I have had several comments from a visitor who has been falsely accused and is enduring great pain and distress from it. I have been falsely accused recently too, so I have felt great empathy as well as sympathy; it had a faint feeling of connection, too. My new friend posted today that 5-23 is for some reason the date by which something needs to be done. I will be seeing the primary people who MIGHT assist me today, 5-22, and I don't know how long it will be before I see them again; so, in my case, my "justice," if it's to come any time in the forseeable future, will also have to come by the 23rd. Is this a sign that God will be settling this now, a message that I need to wait in faith as I have advised the commenter to do, or a coincidence? I'm not much of a believer in coincidence. This is the sort of thing that SEEMS like a sign, but I have to leave room for it to be a message, too; I'll know more later today. Edit early 5-23: neither one of us got our solution within the "deadline." So, it was a message, then, and our parallel situations still feel like a sign for the future; time will tell.
2) JO's most recent sermon (I'm still working on it as I type this) was about keeping something in front of you to encourage your faith in the things you're hoping for. Many New Age and metaphysical paths advise keeping an image of what you want where you'll keep seeing it (aka vision boards) to draw it into your life. I have a stack of images in a place where I see them a bunch of times each day. The topmost images for months now has been one of an outdoor furniture set made of ornately formed metal, which I saved because of the unusual color of the cushions; I never had any thought of or desire to get this sort of furniture… until a few days ago when my next-door neighbor put a set out on their front lawn with a "FREE" sign on it. It was good-looking, and it's pricey stuff, so we grabbed it. Is this a sign that something that I'm strongly hoping for, that I already have a visual aid in place for, will come to me, or is more likely to do so, because of that visual aid? Or a message that the New Agers are right, and that looking at images can draw things to you? Or is it totally unrelated, just with odd timing?
And finally, something that God handled for me: I've been having trouble for many months getting my account working on a site I get work from; I'd used every trick I know to get around their efforts to prevent anyone from actually contacting them, used every email addy and phone # I could find to try to get help, but no dice. And then, an hour ago, I suddenly got a boilerplate "we haven't seen you in a while, come back" email from them, with a link to click to verify that I still want to do their work!! This was certainly not the path back to functionality that I'd envisioned, but that's how God works; He always has another way, an unimagined, unexpected way. I'm so grateful to have this handled!!
And is this a sign of other long-standing issues getting ready to be handled by God? Time will tell.
God fulfills a long-time wish

In "Pink cross, prisoner of hope" from 11-25-12, I described finding this image:
and wishing that my 1st cross would look like this one. I eventually found it here:
and today it arrived. It's MUCH smaller than the pic, of course, but the idea was to have a cross that was very pretty and totally "me" but appropriate for something OTHER than a Vegas show, so the "real deal" is just perfect.
I don't know if God was involved in that one, although He might well have been, by prompting me to seek it out rather than just thinking about it, but I credit Him fully with THIS one: I sign up for a ton of contests and giveaways, so I get a ton of goodies. One thing that has consistently eluded me is nail polish. Every time it was offered, it was at the wrong time and I missed it, the site crashed and I never got through, SOMETHING, and we're talking about YEARS of trying. Once, I thought I had it, an allegedly pomegranate red shade from the company that makes that juice… but when the package came they had substituted a plastic bracelet in that color instead. Then there was the time I actually GOT a bottle of polish… that was the exact color of a chocolate milkshake, so hideous as a nail accent (or for anything else on a human body) that only the goth teen I know would take it, and then she never used it. So, I don't count that one. I don't usually do the "come look at our ad ideas and answer questions for a 1 in a million chance at a prize" things, but I'll do the occasional fast one for the magazines that send me stuff… and the 1st thing I saw when I hit my inbox Monday was an email informing me that from one of those very questionnaires I'd won a **$100** gift pack from a major nail products company!! (And, literally just this second, I refreshed my inbox and got another email from them confirming that they got my address confirmation!! She gets to work early.) I don't know what all will be in this package, I'm sure they'll feel obligated to send me their latest goofy product, whatever that is, but one thing it's guaranteed to contain… NAIL POLISH!!
Edit 6-5: I got the goodies on 5-31. It was mostly goofy stuff for much younger women, with ONE bottle of polish… in a garish orange color I could never use, LOL!! But THEN, God steered me to a nail polish giveaway yesterday, at a weird time that I normally wouldn't be able to do, where the shades offered are classics that would all be good, no matter which one they send me, and I'm confirmed to get one… so the "curse" WILL finally end.
Edit 6-13: I got it today. I opened the box… and there was by far the best of the available polishes!! No surprise there; God brought me to a flourishing finish. Look how hot this polish is (all the spots are because it's shimmery/sparkly):
Keeping your vision in front of you
Posted in Uncategorized on May 20, 2013| 1 Comment »
from JO's sermon tonight:
studies tell us that we move toward what we consistently see. you need to keep something in front of you, even if it's symbolic, that reminds you of what God has promised. if you're single, and have a desire to get married, put an empty photo album on your table at home; that's where you're going to put your wedding pictures. when you see it, you're moving toward it. some of you are not seeing God's best, not because you don't have the faith, talent, determination, but because you're not keeping the right things in front of you. if you can't see your vision, you're not moving toward it. all over your house, you should have pictures up that inspire you, scripture verses that encourage you, mementos that strengthen your faith. maybe it's a key on your keyring for the new house you're going to buy. somebody asks you, "what's this extra key for?" "that's for the house that's on it's way." whatever you're believing for, dreaming about, keep something in front of you that reminds you of what God has promised. when Zerubbabel wanted to rebuild the temple, he laid the foundation, but people came against him and forced him to stop. the prophet Zechariah said, "go get the headstone (aka capstone)," which was reserved as the final piece of stone for the building. it was symbolic; it represented the finished product.
why was it important that he keep the headstone in front of him? because every time he looked at it, it reminded him that God would finish what He started. do you have your headstone in front of you, something that represents the final piece to your dreams? when you see something long enough, it gets into your subconscious mind, and eventually drops down into your spirit, where you know that you know it's going to happen. maybe you're believing to have a baby; why don't you go buy a baby's outfit and put it in your closet where you can see it all through the day? keep your vision in front of you. you are moving toward what you consistently see. is there anything that you see every day that reminds you of what you're believing for, something that inspires you, ignites your faith?
Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish
with no vision, you'll get stuck; this is the reason many people have lost their passion, they don't have anything in front of them that reminds them of what God has promised. if you're believing to move into a nicer house, find a picture of the house you really want and put it on your bathroom mirror; let that seed take root. if you're believing to go to a certain college, buy the t-shirt and wear it around, get the coffee mug with their logo, put it on the counter. every time you wear the shirt, see the picture, the baby's outfit, say, "God, I want to thank You that You're bringing my dreams to pass." let that be a reminder of what God has promised you. what you keep in front of you, you are moving toward. don't have a small vision for your life, you are not inconveniencing God by believing big; when you believe to do something great, set a new standard for your family, when you take the limits off of God, and say, "I don't see a way, but I know You have a way, so I'm gonna believe to have these twins, my business, my charity will impact the world, I'm gonna believe to be totally healthy and whole"; when you believe big like that, you please God. it doesn't matter what it looks like in the natural, we serve a supernatural God; He is not limited by your resources, education, background, nationality. if you will keep a big vision in front of you, God will not only do what you're dreaming about, He'll supersize it; He'll do more than you can ask or think. the way our God is, His dream for your life is bigger than your own dream.
if you will stay in faith, God is going to supersize what you're believing for. if you will keep your vision in front of you, a big vision, and not talk yourself out of it, but just keep honoring God, being your best, God is going to supersize what you're dreaming about. He's going to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond. if you can accomplish your dreams in your own strength, talent, resources, your dreams are too small; you've gotta enlarge your vision. your destiny is too great, assignment too important, to have little dreams, goals, plans; keep something big in front of you. "I can't even imagine ever doing that, being that blessed"; don't worry, you won't be. if you don't have a vision for it, it's not going to come to pass. some things seem far out, very unlikely; but don't ever say, "I can't imagine that." you see somebody that's really fit, energetic, you're trying to lose some weight, "I can't even imagine looking like them." drive through a nice neighborhood, a beautiful house, "I can't imagine living in a house like that, owning my own business, publishing a book"; you are being limited by your own imagination. you've gotta change what you're seeing, do not let the enemy paint the pictures in your mind, use your imagination to see yourself rising higher, accomplishing your dreams, overcoming obstacles, blessed, prosperous, healthy, strong, redeemed, forgiven, well able. don't only have it in your imagination, but keep something in front of you that reminds you of what God has promised.
sometimes your family won't be your biggest cheerleaders. they may not encourage you; you've gotta listen to what God's telling you, and not what people are telling you. people may try to talk you out of what God put in your heart. when you keep your vision in front of you, that is your faith being released, that's why the scripture uses such strong language, "where there's no vision, people perish, your dreams will die." if you can't see what God's promised you, you will miss the incredible things God wants to do. maybe you need to lose 30 pounds; put a picture up on your bathroom mirror of you 30 pounds lighter. every day when you see it, don't get depressed, and think, "I wish I still looked like that," no, "Father I want to thank you that I'm losing this weight, that I'm healthy, fit, in shape, energetic, well-able, attractive." let a new image take root. you may not be healthy right now, but you've gotta keep something in front of you that says you will be healthy; put pictures of you up in your house from a time when you were healthy, scripture verses that encourage you, call your family in another state, tell them you're planing on coming to see them. don't you dare plan on dying, we need you, your family needs you, this world needs you, make plans to live, keep the right vision in front of you.
2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV)
18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
one translation indicates, "they are subject to change"; anything that doesn't line up with the vision God placed in your heart, you need to see that as being temporary; it is subject to change. you may be facing an illness right now; the good news is, it is subject to change. God says, "I'm restoring health unto you, the # of your days I will fulfill." let that vision take root. you may be struggling in your finances, in debt, barely making ends meet; that is subject to change. God says, "you will lend and not borrow, whatever you touch will prosper and succeed." it may look like your dreams could never come to pass, all the odds are against you; the odds are subject to change. one touch of God's favor, and He can take you from the back to the front, from working at the business, to owning your own business, from being given up on by medicine like my mother to being healthy and whole 30 years later. everything that doesn't line up with what God put in your heart, see it as subject to change. that child that's off course, he's subject to change. being lonely is subject to change. not getting any good breaks, that's subject to change. people trying to pull you down, that is subject to change. see it as temporary. keep what God has promised you in front of you. this is what Abraham had to do; he had to start over, he lost everything he had worked for. his nephew Lot chose the best part of the land, and he had to move on. and then:
Genesis 13:14-15 (NIV)
14 The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west. 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.
notice the principle; whatever you can see, God will give it to you. the reason some people are stuck is that they've got their head down, focused on their problems, what didn't work out, who hurt them; God is saying, "look up from where you are, don't sit around depressed, discouraged, get a new vision for your life." put some new pictures in front of you. all that you can see, God says He'll give it to you. some of you think that your dream is too big, your difficulties are too great, it's been too long; but God is saying, "I'm still on the throne, I'm still going to bring it to pass." if you will keep a big vision in front of you, God is going to do something big in your life; He is gong to release His favor like you've never seen before. what you thought was over and done, God is still going to do. what looked impossible, like it was over your head, God is going to suddenly cause things to fall into place, giving you the influence, connections, favor, wisdom. don't stop believing; every time you see your vision, you keep thanking God that it's on its way. if you will do this, God is going to supersize whatever you're dreaming about; it's going to be bigger than you imagine, He's gonna take you places you could not go on your own, opening doors that no man can shut. He's going to do what medicine cannot do. you need to get ready; every dream, promise, goal God's placed in your heart, it will come to pass, in Jesus' name.
Another poem
Posted in Uncategorized on May 18, 2013| 2 Comments »
I heard this one for the first time today, and liked it immediately… and not just because I've been waiting in faith for a while now for my dream to come to pass.
Not Yet
Sometimes I ask the question,
"My Lord, is this your will?"
It's then I hear You answer me,
"My anxious Child… be still."
Sometimes I feel frustrated,
'cause I think I know what's best.
It's then I hear you say to me,
"My busy Child… just rest!"
Sometimes I feel so lonely and
I think I'd like a mate.
Your voice comes loud and clear and says,
"My precious Child… please wait!"
"I know the plans I have for you,
The wondrous things you'll see;
If you can just be patient, Child,
and put your trust in Me.
I've plans to draw you closer.
I've plans to help your grow.
There's much I do you cannot see
and much you do not know.
But know this, Child… I LOVE YOU.
You are precious unto Me.
Before I formed you in the womb,
I planned your destiny.
I've something very special
I hope for you to learn.
The gifts I wish to give to you
are gifts you cannot earn.
They come without a price tag,
but are not without a cost;
at Calvary, I gave My Son,
so you would not be lost.
Rest, Child, and don't grow weary
of doing what is good.
I promise I'll come back for you
just like I said I would.
Your name is written on My palm,
I never could forget;
Therefore, don't be discouraged
when my answer is… "Not Yet!"

A poem from my childhood
Posted in Uncategorized on May 17, 2013| Leave a Comment »
A poem from an old book that went back to my mother's childhood and maybe further kept coming to my mind; I remembered it as a woman being comforted after her baby dies by realizing that instead of having a sinful life he was safely with God. I did a search using the bits I remembered, and DID find the poem. I have no children, and can't imagine what losing a child feels like. I hope that anyone who is grieving and finds this post will feel comforted by this:
The dead babe
by Eugene Field
Last night, as my dear babe lay dead,
In agony I knelt and said:
"0 God! what have I done,
Or in what wise offended Thee,
That Thou should'st take away from me
My little son?
"Upon the thousand useless lives,
Upon the guilt that vaunting thrives,
Thy wrath were better spent!
Why should'st Thou take my little son –
Why should'st Thou vent Thy wrath upon
This innocent?"
Last night, as my dear babe lay dead,
Before mine eyes the vision spread
Of things that might have been:
Licentious riot, cruel strife,
Forgotten prayers, a wasted life
Dark red with sin!
Then, with sweet music in the air,
I saw another vision there:
A Shepherd in whose keep
A little lamb – my little child!
Of worldly wisdom undefiled,
Lay fast asleep!
Last night, as my dear babe lay dead,
In those two messages I read
A wisdom manifest;
And though my arms be childless now,
I am content – to Him I bow
Who knoweth best.

The Daily Beast:
Secret Saudi 9/11 finally revealed turns out there are 29 not 28 pages
Excerpt in its entirety:
The 9/11 Commission's look into the link between Saudi officials and the al Qaeda hijackers is finally
here. And there are a number of tantalizing new leads. Thirteen years after the publication of a joint congressional
inquiry into the 9/11 terrorist attacks, 29 pages on possible ties between the hijackers and Saudi officials were finally
released to the public on Friday. (pdf) Close watchers of the possible Saudi-9/11 connection will find few surprises. And
the pages will settle no controversies. But they did provide all sorts of tantalizing and inconclusive hints at links between
the infamous al Qaeda terrorists and their supporters in the Saudi government--the very government that the terrorist
group had vowed to destroy. For instance, there's the discovery of a CIA memorandum that discussed "alleged financial
connections between the September 11 hijackers, Saudi Government officials, and members of the Saudi Royal Family…"
The memo was drafted by a CIA officer, whose name is blacked out, "relying primarily on information from FBI files." The
officer sent the memo to the CIA's Counterterrorism Center and provided a copy to an FBI agent. But the memo was
apparently never sent to FBI headquarters.
That's one of few new revelations. Much of the contents of perhaps the most famous classified documents in U.S. history
were already known, thanks to a steady drip of leaks by those who had read them and the advocacy of Sen. Bob Graham,
who chaired the inquiry and has been pressing for the pages' release for years. (News accounts have always stated that
there were 28 pages in total, but it turns out there are 29.) Graham had said the Bush and Obama administrations had for
years been withholding vital information about the attacks from the American public. U.S. officials had given no explicit
reason why the pages should be withheld, and appeared to do so only recently because of renewed press interest in the
pages' findings.
But scanning through the 29 pages, one is immediately struck by the abundance of words like "speculate" and
"allegations" and "may have provided support." Had the pages been released in their entirety, the congressional inquiry
might very well have been accused of inciting a mob, publishing unproven and in some cases un-investigated allegations
about specific individuals and their connection to the mass murder of 3,000 people. The joint inquiry itself acknowledged
in the 29 pages that it had not investigated the leads it wanted to publish, which came largely information collected by the
FBI early in the 9/11 investigation. "It was not the task of this Joint Inquiry to conduct the kind of extensive investigations
that would be required to determined the true significance of any such alleged connections to the Saudi Government," the
pages state, noting that some of the suspected links could turn out to be completely innocent. The inquiry's intention was
to provide a roadmap for future investigations and inquiry, not to close the case on 9/11. The White House press
spokesperson Josh Earnest said shortly before the pages were released to the public that they showed no evidence of
Saudi complicity in the 9/11 attacks.
The Saudi ambassador to the U.S. said that his government had been calling for years to release the material, and that he
hoped it would bring an end to speculation about Saudi involvement. "We hope the release of these pages will clear up,
once and for all, any lingering questions or suspicions about Saudi Arabia's actions, intentions, or long-term friendship
with the United States," said Abdullah Al-Saud. Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee,
praised the Obama administration for publishing the documents with redactions that he said were necessary to protect
intelligence sources and methods. "I hope that the release of these pages...will diminish speculation that they contain
proof of official Saudi Government or senior Saudi official involvement in the 9/11 attacks," Schiff said in a statement.
That may be wishful thinking. Given that there's not much news in the pages themselves, those who have long seen a
substantial Saudi connections to the attacks are unlikely to be convinced otherwise now. The 29 pages' key finding had
been known for some time.
"While in the United States, some of the September 11 hijackers were in contact with, and received support or assistance
from, individuals who may be connected to the Saudi government." There was also information, primarily from FBI
sources, that "at least two of those individuals were alleged by some to be Saudi intelligence officers."
One of those men, Omar al-Bayoumi, is identified in the report as a possible Saudi intelligence officer about whom the FBI
"has received numerous reports" from people in the "Muslim community" going back to 1999. Al-Bayoumi's name had
already surfaced in press accounts as having provided "substantial assistance," as the inquiry put it, to two hijackers after
they arrived in San Diego in 2000. He's described as having "extensive contact with Saudi government establishments in
the United States."
But U.S. and Saudi officials have subsequently said there was no evidence to connect Bayoumi to the hijackers. He did
befriend them, but, he claims, only after a chance meeting in a restaurant in Feb. 2000 when he overheard them speaking
Gulf Arabic. The FBI subsequently found no evidence that Bayoumi was an intelligence agent for Saudi Arabia.

Missing 28 pages 07/16/2016
Excerpt: (in entirety)
The missing 28 pages from the U.S. Congressional Joint Inquiry into intelligence activities related to 911 were finally
released to the public. These pages do not reveal a lot of new information but what is new strengthens lines of
investigation that need to be followed-up. Here are five examples.
The 28 pages say a lot about two men—Omar al-Bayoumi and Osama Bassnan. The pages hint at the idea that Al-Bayoumi
and Bassnan, who sponsored some of the alleged hijackers in the U.S., were Saudi intelligence agents or assets. Although
this is not new, the pages also mention that both of them worked closely with the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission (SACM).
That should bring investigators back to the WTC security company Stratesec, which held its annual meetings in SACM
The SACM was part of the Saudi Embassy run by then-ambassador Prince Bandar. The released pages do a lot of hinting
about Bandar's funding of Al-Bayoumi and Bassnan's activities in the United States. What is perhaps a revelation is that
the men's wives received money from Bandar's wife but also that Bassnan received $15,000 directly from Bandar's
The pages also reveal that, "several Saudi Naval officers were in contact with the September 11th hijackers." A related fact
that needs more scrutiny is that Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), which profited greatly from the
9/11 crimes, had spent over twenty years building and training the Saudi Navy. At the time of 9/11, SAIC was run by Dick
Cheney's protégé Duane Andrews, who was the most knowledgeable person regarding the vulnerabilities of the
information and communications networks that failed that day.
The released pages also make a lot of insinuations about Abu Zubaydah's "phonebook." Zubaydah was the first alleged al
Qaeda leader captured. The 28 pages repeatedly mention that his phonebook had several numbers that could be "linked"
to U.S. phone numbers. Readers will likely fail to realize that in 2009 the U.S. government retracted its claims that
Zubaydah had any association to al Qaeda. That the 9/11 Commission Report depended heavily on Zubaydah's torture
testimony is a fact that was quickly forgotten by Commission and intelligence agency leaders.
The Inquiry's report was built largely on information provided by the FBI and the CIA. The 28 pages show this clearly. What
people might fail to question is why the Inquiry would go about investigating intelligence agencies simply by reporting
information provided by those agencies. That contradiction was amplified when the Inquiry's leaders allowed the FBI to
intimidate their own panel members by investigating them while they were investigating the FBI. The reasons for these
contradictions are probably related to the fact that leaders of the FBI and the CIA are legitimate suspects in the 9/11
In the end, the release of the 28 pages reinforces some information that was already available but does nothing to correct
the propaganda that the Joint Inquiry produced. The public can learn from it, of course, but that requires looking beyond
the propaganda.

Stop Supporting – and Start Punishing – Saudi Arabia
Excerpt From a Petition:
The U.S. government has finally released 28 previously censored pages of a 2002 Congressional
report on 9/11, pages that cite evidence of complicity in the crimes of 9/11 by top Saudi officials and the Saudi
Thank you for the pressure you applied to get these pages released! The United States and other governments needs a
whole new relationship to Saudi Arabia, and we've shown we can exercise influence to make that happen.
Here are four additional reasons to take action against Saudi Arabia:
1.Saudi Arabia buys huge amounts of U.S. and European weaponry, which it uses to slaughter civilians in Yemen, including
bombing a hospital, and to repress democracy at home and in neighboring Bahrain.
2.Saudi Arabia sells huge amounts of fossil fuels to the United States and other nations, which they use to render the
earth's climate uninhabitable.
3.Saudi Arabia is the leading source of funding for violent groups terrorizing the Middle East, as well as the attacks in the
United States on September 11, 2001.
4.Saudi Arabia brutally oppresses its own people, including beheading pro-democracy activists.
Western powers have generally seen points 1 and 2 above as positive -- so positive in fact as to require ignoring points 3
and 4. It is time we changed this perspective. We call on the governments of the world to stop providing Saudi Arabia
with weaponry, and to boycott, divest from, and implement sanctions against that country until the Saudi government
ends its military aggression and abuse of human rights. P.S. RootsAction is an independent online force endorsed by Jim

Private First Class
Bradley/Chelsea Manning
Play - Bradley Manning hero or traitor
By Toby Zinman, For The Inquirer
Inis Nua's production of The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning, is the American premiere of a play by Welsh writer
Tim Rice. It takes up a fascinating subject: how and why a young soldier used his technological expertise to send hundreds
of thousands of classified documents about military events in Iraq to WikiLeaks.
The play offers these binaries to ponder:
Hero or traitor? Manning was both nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and sentenced to 35 years in a maximum-security
Male or female? Bradley Manning became Chelsea Manning.
Under Tom Reing's bold direction, an ensemble of six young, highly accomplished actors take on many roles; most
important, they all, male and female, portray Manning. They also portray Manning's teacher (a bully), fellow soldiers in
basic training (bullies), father (bully), drill instructor (bully), lover (a betrayer), military psychiatrists (betrayers) and - well,
you get the picture.
Thus, the play is more a psychological biography than a study in ethical and/or political radicalization. By making
Manning's case history so blatantly that of a victim, and by making every actor onstage portray the soldier, the result is to
diminish individuality and courage. It is disappointing that the script stops short of even mentioning any gender identity
issue and frustrating that we never learn what the results were of the damning material having been made public.

Chelsea confirms health status. Today (July 11), Chelsea Manning spoke with her attorneys for the first time since her hospitalization last
week. They have released the following statement on her behalf: From Nancy Hollander, Vincent Ward, Chase Strangio- July 11, 2016. After
not connecting with Chelsea for over a week, we were relieved to speak with her this morning. Though she would have preferred to keep
her medical information private, the government disclosing her health information to the media has created concern that they may
continue their unauthorized release of information. Due to these circumstances, Chelsea Manning requested that we communicate on her
behalf. Last week, Chelsea made a decision to end her life. Her attempt was unsuccessful. She knows that people have questions about how
she is doing. She wants everyone to know that she remains under close observation by the prison and expects to remain on this status for
the next several weeks. For us, hearing Chelsea's voice after learning that she had attempted to take her life last week was incredibly
emotional. She is someone who has fought hard for many issues we care about and we are honored to fight for her freedom and medical
care. Read more here On the phone with a Support Network volunteer Chelsea added, "I am okay. I'm glad to be alive. Thank you all for your

PFC Bradley Manning is a US Army intelligence specialist who released classified information to WikiLeaks, an organization that he
understood would release portions of the information to news organizations and ultimately to the public. Was the information that PFC
Manning leaked classified for our protection and national security, as government officials contend? Or do the revelations provide the
American public with information that we should have had access to in the first place? Just what are these revelations? Below are some key
facts that PFC Manning have helped reveal to the public.
There is an official policy to ignore torture in Iraq. The "Iraq War Logs" published by WikiLeaks revealed that thousands of reports of
prisoner abuse and torture had been filed against the Iraqi Security Forces. Medical evidence detailed how prisoners had been whipped with
heavy cables across the feet, hung from ceiling hooks, suffered holes being bored into their legs with electric drills, urinated upon, and
sexually assaulted. These logs also revealed the existence of "Frago 242," an order implemented in 2004 not to investigate allegations of
abuse against the Iraqi government. This order is a direct violation of the UN Convention Against Torture, which was ratified by the United
States in 1994. The Convention prohibits the Armed Forces from transferring a detainee to other countries "where there are substantial
grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture." According to the State Department's own reports, the U.S.
government was already aware that the Iraqi Security Forces engaged in torture (1). U.S. defense contractors were brought under much
tighter supervision after leaked diplomatic cables revealed that they had been complicit in child trafficking activities. DynCorp — a powerful
defense contracting firm that claims almost $2 billion per year in revenue from U.S. tax dollars — threw a party for Afghan security recruits
featuring boys purchased from child traffickers for entertainment. DynCorp had already faced human trafficking charges before this
incident took place. According to the cables, Afghan Interior minister Hanif Atmar urged the assistant US ambassador to "quash" the story.
These revelations have been a driving factor behind recent calls for the removal of all U.S. defense contractors from Afghanistan (2).

Wallstreet Journal What Bradley Manning Leaked August 21, 2013
Excerpt: Private First Class Bradley Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison Wednesday morning for transmitting government
documents to the antisecrecy website WikiLeaks, and he received a dishonorable discharge. The trove of documents fell within four
categories: videos, incident reports from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, information on detainees at Guantanamo and thousands of State
Department cables. WSJ reporter Julian E. Barnes compiled this list of the top documents for an article that appeared in The Wall Street
Journal July 31, 2013.
Video: mThe most important video showed an U.S. Army Apache helicopter in Iraq firing on a group of people who turned out to include
journalists from Reuters. The video was edited by WikiLeaks and called "Collateral Murder."
The second batch of documents provided by Pfc. Manning that WikiLeaks published were incident reports from Afghanistan and Iraq.
WikiLeaks called them the "War Logs" and said they showed there were much larger numbers of civilian casualties than the U.S. had
previously reported.
Guantanamo: Pfc. Manning has also been accused of providing WikiLeaks with documents related to the detainees at Guantanamo. Those
documents have received comparatively little attention, because most of the information in them had been publicly released by the
government in other documents.

Letter: Stop the FBI's New Biometric Database (This has been added to a new Biometric Section in System Abuse)
The FBI is stockpiling the fingerprints, faces, tattoos, and more from millions of people – including those not suspected of any
criminal activity. And they're doing so with essentially NO oversight from Congress or our courts. The FBI has repeatedly failed to tell
the public even the basics about this massive database1 – called the Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. Now it's pushing to
make the system secret and exempt from standard privacy laws. We have the chance to stop this outrageous power grab by the FBI.
The DOJ is accepting public comments until July 6th to decide whether or not to block the FBI's request. Tell the FBI: We have a right
to know what information the government collects about us!The FBI and other law enforcement use this massive database to search
for "suspects" of any crime without warrants. But a government watchdog just found high levels of inaccuracy with the system's
facial recognition software.2 These inaccuracies have led to misidentifying innocent people as criminals, and have kept thousands
from getting jobs due to faulty background checks.3And if the FBI gets its way and gets to exempt this database from standard
privacy laws, it will have NO legal obligation to correct this inaccurate data. Tell the FBI: We won't let you make your secret database
exempt from our privacy rights!
An FBI expert has publicly acknowledged that the system tends to be least accurate on the groups it affects the most4 – people of
color, women, and young people. Even worse, the FBI and other law enforcement has even started using the database to track
peaceful political activists instead of just criminals. The FBI has used NGI documents to track activists at Obama and Clinton political
rallies,5 and the Department of Homeland Security has been tracking Black Lives Matter activists since Ferguson.6And now the FBI
wants an exemption from the exact law – the Privacy Act – that allows us to hold them accountable for illegally targeting us based on

Cian Westmoreland on drone abuses
Recent Email From Roots Action
With great humility but great hope, I'm writing to you from a hostel room
somewhere in Berlin, attempting to reach out to tell you something that I and others like me
know -- but governments and weapons companies would prefer you didn't question. My
name is Cian Westmoreland, and I am a former U.S. Air Force communications technician
who built the signals relay station for receiving and transmitting data -- used in airstrikes --
obtained over 240,000 square miles of Afghanistan.I discovered that in the time I served
there, my system was a key component used in bombings from drones and other aircraft
that killed at least 359 innocent civilians. This was a number derived from a UN Assistance
Mission in Afghanistan report for the year 2009.Knowledge of my "life's work" at that time
took me down a painful path of tremendous guilt, hopelessness, isolation, and nightmares to
what ultimately culminated in me looking over a bridge at the Rio Grande, with the plan of
taking my own life in October 2015. It was news of a bombing -- using my equipment -
of an MSF
hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, that brought me there that day.I committed myself to the VA to
protect me from harming myself. Less than a month later, on November 18, 2015, I decided to
join fellow drone whistleblowers Brandon Bryant, Michael Haas, and Stephen Lewis in speaking
out as a group for the first time.We drafted a letter to President Obama, General Michael
Hayden, and CIA Director John Brennan urging them to stop the extrajudicial bombings,
reminding them that this policy is creating more terrorists than it is eliminating. For all of us,
there is no turning back.In the past month, I have been connecting with people around the
globe, touring with drone surveillance whistleblower Lisa Ling with a film she is in called
"National Bird," directed by Sonia Kennebeck, to educate the public about what the drone program really is, and to
represent those people who have been psychologically and physically traumatized by drones on all sides of these
strikes.As the recipient of the first Drone Whistleblower Fellowship of the RootsAction Education Fund, I ask that you
consider supporting my work through this fellowship. If you

Justice For Tamir Rice
Rice (Ohio)
Excerpt: Tamir Rice, Cleveland, Ohio
More than a year after police shot and killed my 12-year-old cousin Tamir Rice as he played in a park with a toy gun, a grand jury declined to
charge the officers who opened fire on Tamir in less than 2 seconds of arriving to the scene. My family is saddened and disappointed– but
we are not surprised. Since Tamir was killed, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty has been on the side of the police --
manipulating the grand-jury process so that they would vote against indicting the officers. We need the U.S. Department of Justice to step in
to conduct a real investigation into the killing of a 12-year-old child. Even though video shows police shooting Tamir immediately, Prosecutor
McGinty hired so-called expert witnesses to tell the grand jury their conduct was reasonable and justified. It is unheard of, and highly
improper, for a prosecutor to hire "experts" to try to exonerate the targets of a grand-jury investigation. These are the sort of "experts" we
would expect the officer's criminal-defense attorney to hire — not the prosecutor. He gave the officers special treatment which would never
be given to non-police suspects. The Department of Justice has launched independent investigations into police killings of civilians before.
Last year, they launched one in response to the killing of John Crawford, who, like Tamir, had a toy gun in his hand while shopping at a
Walmart when police rushed in and shot him to death. A Change.org petition helped make that investigation happen and that's why I need
your signature. Please sign my petition asking the Department of Justice to launch a federal investigation into prosecutor McGinty's
handling of the grand jury process; and for the killing of 12 year old Tamir Rice.

He might have been suicided: possible Mossad/South America drug cartels connection
Memory Hole Blog:
(2014) Was Gary Webb Suicided to Kill New Book
So I'm going to get a little help from my friends at Liberty Lobby Forum. The rumor mill was churning hot and
heavy at Liberty Forum and Webb's death was addressed with an attention-grabbing post: Did the Israelis pay a Visit to
To summarize: allegations are made that Webb was working on a new book exposing the hidden Jewish element that is
the controlling factor behind drug trafficking in South America. Apparently, a huge drug war in South America is about to
erupt. It's characterized as a massive power grab against South American Jewish-drug-lords. According to this scenario,
Hugo Chavez is playing the foil, and is planning to clean-up drug trafficking in his neighborhood, or at least look as though
he is, by militarily moving against Columbia. The prize is control over the illicit $50 billion cocaine and marijuana market.
According to this speculation, Webb was "suicided" by Mossad because he was getting ready to break this story via his new
book. Is the above true? I have no idea. I've not been involved with any research about South American drug trafficking.
But, I do know and it has
been reported that Chavez has purchased MIG-29's from Russia. And at this point, it's anyone's guess as to
what Gary's alleged book contains. One thing is for sure, this sort of material would be his bailiwick. Does this information merit
further investigation? I think it does, although some may disagree. I'm merely bringing this to the attention of serious researchers
and truth seekers. It's up to them to decide if the material merits more study… It centers on Ross' comments after learning about
Gary Webb's alleged "suicide". In the recorded phone conversation, Freeway Rickey corroborates what Luis Gomez tells us: Gary was
working on a project. Additionally, we learn via Rickey that Gary had told him that he was receiving death threats and harassment
from government types…Jon Roland, constitutional reporter, who had an email dialogue with Gary): "I spoke to Gary and in the
conversation he indicated he had a lot of evidence that did not appear in his writings. I cautioned him that the CIA might contrive to
"suicide" him, and he indicated that if he died it would not be suicide." As to when he had this contact with Gary: Jon said, "after the
Mercury articles were written, and Gary had been living in Sacramento 3 or 4 months." Jon also reiterated that Gary had a cache of
evidence, left over from his writings that had never been published, which made him concerned for Gary's life."
David Suzuki Foundation:
Unease in our times
This is an email from the David Suzuki Foundation
(Canadian Environmental group)
provided recently. It i
s an excellent letter and so
aptly sums up many of the things supported and discussed on this website and greeningways.com:
Reading the news, it's hard not to feel a growing sense of unease. The threat of terrorism, growing instability and conflict overseas, a
shooting on Parliament Hill last October and uncertainty about the economy diminish our collective feelings of safety and security. To
this we add the looming environmental threats of climate change, pollution, declining ocean health, oil spills and extreme weather.All
of it takes a psychological toll, even when we're not directly affected. Studies show that when we feel threatened, we isolate
ourselves and focus on restoring our sense of security. Many people attempt to alleviate anxiety by grasping for wealth, seeking
pleasure and taking solace in achievement or status. But this strategy backfires. Instead of bolstering our sense of security and well-
being, it diminishes it. Across cultures and regardless of age and gender, people whose values centre on social position and
accumulation of money and possessions actually face a greater risk of unhappiness, including anxiety, depression and low self-
esteem. In his book The High Price of Materialism, psychology professor Tim Kasser shows how materialistic values undermine well-
being, perpetuate feelings of insecurity and weaken the ties that bind us as human beings. People who are materialistic also tend to
be less interested in ecological issues, have negative attitudes toward the environment and demonstrate fewer instances of
sustainable behaviour. That's a tragedy for humanity and the rest of life on Earth.Cross-cultural research in social science has
identified a set of consistently occurring human values. Social psychologists refer to one cluster as "extrinsic", or materialistic. These
are concerned with our desire for achievement, status, power and wealth. Opposite to those are "intrinsic" values. They relate to
caring, community, environmental concern and social justice.
Although each of us carries both, the importance we attach to one set of values tends to diminish the importance of the other. When
power values like social status, prestige and dominance come first, the universal values of tolerance, appreciation and concern for
the welfare of others are suppressed. The U.K.-based Common Cause Foundation is synthesizing this growing body of values
research. It offers guidance to social change organizations on ways to engage cultural values to further their causes. Because values
are like muscles — they get stronger the more we exercise them — activists can consciously stimulate intrinsic values in
communications and campaigns. Researchers have also discovered what they call the values "leak-over effect". Because values tend
to exist in clusters, whe
one is activated, so are compatible neighbouring values. For example, people reminded of generosity, self-
direction and family are more likely to support pro-environmental policies than those reminded of financial success and status. The
forces behind planetary crises are complex. History, politics and economics influence how humans act. Social change requires a focus
on individual behaviour, corporate responsibility and government policy. In today's unstable political environment, values must also
be part of the equation. That's where we find an important connection between environmental and social justice movements. On a
values level, the efforts and strategies to combat climate change and biodiversity loss complement and strengthen those required to
bring about greater equality. When environmentalists invoke intrinsic values to increase support for their cause, they also increase
support for social justice. Because values are an important driver of attitudes and behaviour, they are essential to changing social
norms. Wha
can we do as individuals? Our social responsibility goes deeper than our consumer habits and voting choices. We need
to reflect on what's important to us. We all deserve to feel secure in our homes and communities, but we can't depend on the false
sense of security that isolation or materialistic pursuits bring. When psychological insecurity is on the rise, we need to stay
committed to the values that make us environmentalists and champions of social justice. Instead of retreating to our corners, let's
turn toward one another to re-establish our sense of security and strength. The good news is that values that support a healthy
society and sustainable planet — self-respect, concern for others, connection with nature, equality — also make us happiest in the
long term. Each one of us is a value prism, subtly bending the light in a particular direction. As Canadians, let's be conscious of where
we direct our light.

copy of letter from Naral - I consider this an important message:Abortion scars your uterus and causes breast cancer. You won't
be able to have children. You'll be suicidal. Those are the lies that women are being told every day at anti-choice crisis pregnancy
centers (CPCs)--fake clinics set up to shame and confuse women seeking abortion care.1 Over the last year, we've conducted an
in-depth undercover investigation into these fake clinics, and what we've found is shocking: a consistent pattern of blatant lies
and misinformation.Will you make a donation to help us get the word out about these dangerous and deceptive fake clinics?Yes,
I'll make a donation to fight crisis pregnancy centers and defend the right to choose. You've probably seen the billboards and
other ads that say "Pregnant? Scared? We can help." These billboards advertise fake clinics run by anti-choice activists--but
they're intentionally set up to look like real medical facilities to lure in women seeking abortion care.In fact, we've found that
79% of Google searches for the term "abortion clinic" and the name of a city result in at least one ad for one of these fake
clinics.2 Even worse--in many states CPCs are actually funded with taxpayer dollars.3 Our undercover investigation has the
potential to blow the lid off these fake clinics, but we need to get the word out. Will you make a donation to help warn women
about the dangers of crisis pregnancy centers? Yes, I'll make a donation.Thank you for helping to make abortion rights real for all
women,Ilyse G. Hogue President, NARAL Pro-Choice America

Just recently, I made a short animated video to promote St Luke's. As this has proved popular on the web, I thought I might try my hand at one on communion. But then a question struck me. And it is – what is sacrament of Holy Communion really all about?
Tag Archives: eucharist
Communion Express – this Sunday
With the summer communion season upon us, we have our two services this Sunday (28 June). These will be:
- Communion Express (9.30 a.m.) – short family friendly service in the Hall with music provided by our Praise Orchestra.
- Parish Communion (11 a.m.) – a service in the traditional style in our beautiful sanctuary.
Come along and find fellowship at the Lord's Table
