Talking Trash With Family Dollar Stores

21 January 2011

Supreme Commander of Devalued Inventory
Family Dollar Stores
Post Office Box 1017
Charlotte, North Carolina 28201-1017

Dear Corporate Chieftain:

Your Alpine Texas location was the scene of a very enlightening exchange between myself and two employees over the purchase of a holiday item excavated from the clearance shelf - exactly nineteen days after the New Year.

When the cashier scanned the item it was priced at one cent. I remarked on my good fortune. I was informed that item could not be sold because it was "less than five cents". I protested and tried to negotiate for a five-cents sale. Broadcast was made for the store manager*, who appeared wearing a paper badge upon which employee title and first name only were handwritten. I went on to argue that the item was presented for sale and that there are no public laws or store policies posted regarding sale prohibitions relating to price amounts. The manager was steadfast and defended the appropriation of the item from me by citing "store policy" behind each of the following statements:

I cannot sell anything priced below five cents.
These were all put in the trash.
This one should have been put in the trash.
This one must now be put in the trash.

This is very intriguing news about "trash". I look forward to investigating the devaluation and disposition of seasonal inventory by FDS (and its contemporaries). Given our nation's war for 'green' and 'austere' measures, it is the least I can offer to do with my unemployed spare time.

It was appalling to learn of the policies exposed by this aborted transaction. While such policies benefit shareholders in the short run, customers upon whom FDS depends will soon realize that the disposability applied by FDS to its employee badges and its inventory can also be applied by the customer to FDS. Especially once it becomes known that Alpine residents are denied post-season sales beyond a short time window, and that FDS employees are not permitted to treat their neighbors fairly as customers.

These two so-called-by-corporate-America "human resources" are conscientious, hard-working human persons who were job-scared over the sale of a tax write-off that escaped trash collection. I'd say that FDS should be ashamed of itself but it is we Americans who should be ashamed for allowing the creation of "corporations as legal persons" that stop at nothing for shareholder profit.

Unquestioningly outraged,

kf

*Interrupting the regularly annoying broadcast informing shoppers that cameras were filming throughout the store for customers' protection.

Palestinian Olive Oil

Well, well, well. Look at all the presents.

Some American news outlets are writing articles highlighting the U.S. Dollar Value of the Christmas gifts given to the Obamas. The gift of a bottle of Palestinian olive oil to the Obamas from President Abbas is being heartily mocked.

A malicious and unnecessary broadcast.

That bottle of olive oil is more precious than gold - as the comparison goes - and even that comparison falls short.

Frankly, here is one American who would be honored and grateful to have a bottle of Palestinian olive oil. Even more frankly, the price of olive oil might not be prohibitive for the average family had the Palestinians been permitted to continue producing it, as they had been for centuries before God told his chosen people's government to lay waste to Palestine's olive trees.

The United States government has given the Israeli government everything it needed to initiate and enforce a doctrine of "Manifest Destiny" against the Palestinians (and this has been pointed out by Israeli leaders). The number of olive groves that Israel has destroyed is higher than most folks can calculate with their handy-dandy devices. Determining the number of olive groves that remain would be incalculably less problematic.

Look forward to future posts with details about what is going on in Palestine and how ignorant we Americans are kept about how our money is being spent (and has been since 1948) in vigorous response to God's Will. And likely also some attention to the theft of Native American Trust money by our government which has broken every treaty ever signed with the people whose land was our Manifest Destiny - also courtesy of God's Will.

This post-Holy-Days episode of nasty ingratitude is a valuable lesson, a red flag, a show-stopper. USA Inc. is in debt up to its 12th chakra and here we are measuring the U.S. Dollar Value of gifts. Gifts.

I wonder what gift was given to President and Mrs. Abbas from the Obamas?

Pope Stunned: God Was Behind Big Bang

On 06 January 2011, Pope Benedict broadcasted a homily from his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square, in celebration of the feast of the Epiphany.

Frances D'Emilio reported for the Associated Press:

Cardinal: pope stunned by anti-Christian violence

Philip Pullella reported for Reuters:

God was behind Big Bang, universe no accident: Pope

Philip Pullella also served as the reporter for Agence France-Press which used same headline:

God was behind Big Bang, universe no accident: Pope

The Pope did not speak of "anti-christian violence" or the "Big Bang" in his homily.

AP reporter D'Emilio plucked a quote from the Epiphany homily of Genoan Cardinal Bagnasco that resulted in her headline:

"Together with the Holy Father, Benedict XVI, we are stunned in the face of religious intolerance and so much violence, and we are asking ourselves, in sorrow: why?"

The dually-employed Pullella dared to delve where the Pope did not to enable his headline:

While the pope has spoken before about evolution, he has rarely delved back in time to discuss specific concepts such as the Big Bang, which scientists believe led to the formation of the universe some 13.7 billion years ago.

The three largest news distributors for the English-speaking peoples deployed these two headlines to all planetary news outlets with the imperial casualness of a drone strike.

"Never let the facts get in the way of a good story" has risen to the level of being dogma for the politically correct.

As enlightened residents in the New Age fully cognizant of the dual nature of reality, we are entitled to explore the gospel truth as opposed to political correctness. The voice of gospel truth is expressed by the Pro-Am contributors of Examiner.com, providers for EIN Presswire, distributor to global professionals. The Examiner's headline about the Pope's homily read,

Pope defends God's role in creation.

This headline is an accurate statement. However, writer Vicki Priest Stiegemeyer pushes her readers out on a limb with this sentence in her article:

"God, being spirit, cannot be disproved through the methods of science, which measures and tests the material."

Dear god, we are civilization enamored of our own ignorance. We can emphasize this by pointing out that in the politically correct camp we have the use of the term "Big Bang" (capitalized no less) to describe our theory of creation. In the gospel truth camp we have religious representatives of "God" (by every name) congregating at the United Nations, who get along just swell with each other but do not or can not persuade their followers to do the same with their fellows.

The pope is considered to be the most important and powerful of God's emissaries on the planet - even the Dalai Lama kisses his ring. Popes throughout history break bread, sip wine and sign agreements with the planetary big shots who fund, arm and perpetrate atrocities that destroy the planet and its people. Popes themselves have funded, armed and perpetrated. We have become used to the next generation pope coming along and chalking up their predecessors' deeds to "human" error, vulnerabilities, frailties, etc.. The board is erased and the new pope puts on the ring and sets sail with lofty visions of "God's Plan". And we all know, or should know by now, what "God's Plan" is: The ultimate destruction of every human being except his "Chosen Ones".

That's a bang big enough to stun alright.

Early Sunrise In Greenland

The Daily Mail reported this morning that the sun rose two days early "in Greenland". Dashing to Google to further explore the phenomena, it was apparent that sympathies ought be extended to the two experts whose names appeared in the article. They've been used to give credence to yet another new age hooker.

This story led me to think about how it is nearly impossible for the average person to make heads or tails of ANYTHING written which is beyond the scope of an ordinary education. You know - the public education that taught Americans that Columbus discovered a land occupied by savage pagans which Europeans subsequently transformed into the Land Of The Free And The Home Of The Brave under the principle of Manifest Destiny and who, after warring amongst themselves over the disposition of enslaved Africans that God said could be captured and abused in furtherance of their project, have since determined to make the whole planet (one quadrant at a time) safe for democracy. Every American with a public school education knows this tune by heart.

How the hell can someone with a such an educational handicap be expected to decipher the information that's deigned to print? They can't. I've been trying to catch up with the truth since my first boss/mentor 35 years ago and I still find myself wandering around through galleries of smoke and mirrors offered by the well-educated and well-informed. That's why conspiracy and gossip are attractive, sometimes there's as much truth buried in these writings as there is in the professional proclamations. All avenues of discovery - in the legal sense of the word - are worth a tour if one has the time and inclination. And time is what is required, don't let them kid you about Google and it's Number One resource, Wiki.

Columbus did not discover America.

A small hamlet in Greenland saw an early sunrise. This was found on Page 5 on Google, following all the repeaters of the Daily Mail headline.

And, speaking of repeaters, I say once again that the Golden Age Project is a fine place to visit - no conspiracy and no gossip either - for some common sense and researched clues to human origins. They are offering Laurence Gardner's posthumous work, The Origin of God, which I'm reading. You'll never guess what I discovered when checking one of his references in the Bible. My eyes went beyond the reference needed for Gardner's work and I spotted this favorite of shepherds and flocks across the believing planet:


Woman had not yet been created when this commandment was issued. Because the text is positioned before the creation of the woman and because it says "commanded the man" rather than 'commanded them both', I assume that Adam passed the information on to his wife. There's no proof otherwise. Who's to say Adam's relay of this message to Eve carried equal force and weight as the original commandment issued by God?

Project Avalon: Rulers Of The World

"You arrived on my desk".

So says "Charles" (not his real name) in his interview with Bill Ryan, as to how the two came to meet. Ryan and Charles spend two hours in an interview, with Charles' back to the camera, ostensibly to talk about the rulers of the world. There was precious little in the way of specific facts about the ruling group. The conversation focused on Charles' life and his bona fides, liberally spiced with statements which could be construed as insider knowledge.

Clouding the interview atmosphere was the fact that Ryan had behind him five months of conversations with Charles, most of which was not to be divulged. Charles brought his own smoke machine along; he said his reason for talking on camera was that he wanted to "kick them in the nuts" - because, he said, "I can". Curiously, Charles sometimes used the pronoun "we" when referring to the nutted ones. The usage could have been a slip of the familiar tongue however he gave no satisfactory explanation as to why he breached his loyalty. There were insinuations made by both he and Bill; for instance, Charles had a terminal illness, Charles' background check of Ryan gave him pause, Charles made use of a unidentified machine that changed him, Charles had been groomed at an early age and recruited by a fascist organization. Perhaps any one or the sum of these are the explanation but without a clear statement of reckoning, one is left to wonder.

Alas, this is the problem with whistleblowers of the did-see-hear-say kind. They can be helpful when trying to piece together conspiracies. They can also confound us because we are given no evidence to support the information other than the words and theories of their peers and contemporaries.

Another of the troublesome issues with Ryan's presentation were Ryan's statements of reliance upon journalistic tradition in producing this effort. Journalistic tradition has not served humanity effectively. Journalistic tradition pervades the education system and, as Charles points out, the education of the masses ("hamburgers-on-legs") is a failure, a joke, a means of control.

Nevertheless, for the curious human being, interviews such as this provide opportunities to consider what might be the intentions, the opinions, the plans, the activities, and most intriguingly, the secrets of the humans whose knowledge and fortunes outdistance other humans. There are truths told, dots connected and considerations otherwise unconsidered. With that in mind, here are Charles' revelations:

Humanity is an extra terrestrial experiment created and subsequently left to develop under a principle of non-interference. No details were given, Charles does not know who the extra terrestrials are.

There is a group of 33 "gentlemen", representing 33 bloodlines (think of them as "nations" said Charles), who manage humanity as if it were a corporation. They plan the course of future events, and have been so engaged since the pyramid age. No details.

There are another 427 relevant bloodlines (controlled by the 33). No details.

Control and use of knowledge (all disciplines / historical, current and future possibilities) is the source of their power.

Money is irrelevant except that it is a means to wield power.

The first shoot-down of an extra terrestrial craft was a "lucky hit", subsequent hits were (back) engineered. (It seems from the conversation that these extra terrestrials are not the founding principals.) Extra terrestrial encounter was not planned by either party. No other details.

There is a "base" on Mars (no specifics, unclear as to whether human or extra terrestrial).

The moon has secrets too (again, no specifics except something about bringing "it" back).

The solar system is binary, Nibiru exists, there will be a pole shift, however there will only be small effects (electromagnetic interruptions) from these. 2012 is a hoax.

There will not be a nuclear war because it would ruin the planet (however mistakes have been know to occur).

A false flag alien appearance is planned, using terrestrial advanced technology such as the mile-long aero-vehicle that splits into triangles.

The Georgia Guidestones are a manifesto.

The 33 have determined that the human herd must be culled and they consider it their responsibility to initiate and direct the process, ergo genetically modified crops and food and water additives. Some discussion regarding survival options; opportunities to survive for non-combatives with farming skills and those with the ability to cooperate with the farmers.

There will be a one-world financial system. However nations, cultures and sexuality will continue to be used as means to divide and conquer the (remaining, it is assumed) masses.

Sequential unfolding of events is the preferred method of system delivery by the 33. If too many people figure out one of the plans ahead of time, it will be changed.

70% (sometimes up to 90%) of the information conveyed by the alternative media is disinformation.


According to Ryan and Charles, the 33 firmly believe that it is their duty to manage humanity and to implement the necessary steps to downsize, streamline and perfect the human experiment. Ryan hopes to convince the 33, by means of this interview and supplemental material, that there is a "another way" (See "A Personal Message from Bill Ryan".) Charles' intention is to give Ryan that opportunity.

Both professed concern as to how their effort would be received by the 33. Ryan's seemed genuine.


Ryan goes on to ask his listeners/readers to shift to a higher consciousness, lift their vibrations and visualize a better world. These are fine ideas. In fact, such efforts may be accomplished by those who have access to his videos. But will they be able and willing to lift all of humanity with their spiritual muscles? Ryan says he wants to, and I believe him. Do his followers want to include all of humanity? Can they?

Dare it be asked for all of mankind to join in a spiritual exercise which for centuries has not otherwise worked for them, or if it did work, it was with sporadic or temporary results? Humanity - the good, honest, hardworking, compassionate, brave, patient, kind and long-suffering - has been praying for a golden age since the last one. Were their methods in error?

In the land of In God We Trust alone, there are over 40 million claimants for food stamps. With an average number of 2 dependents each, that adds up to 120 million currently dependent on the 33 (who control governments and institutions) for their daily bread. These are people who can barely visualize a hearty meal - nevermind one without the food additives that instantly dull and cumulatively destroy their minds, bodies and spirits. There are millions of homeless, growing by the daily foreclosures. Their visions are for a warm bed of their own rather than a cold cot at the shelter or floor space at cousin Harriet's. What of the millions of under- and unemployed and those who are deprived of effective medical and dental assistance? One can not lift their own vibration, shift consciousness or visualize away their own backache or toothache. We have not been granted leave to evolve down those avenues of remedy. It is doubtful that many of the 33 could pull off such a feat.

Humanity is in a helluva pickle. A herd with 33 owners and 427 shepherd groups is not workable model, particularly when the value of the herd is 2% of the total net worth.

The great American experiment shows us how the 33 treat their prized livestock. It demonstrates the methods they use to run their planetary corporation and what happens to those humans who are no longer useful or needed for backup operations in the big machine. Some humans were never, ever given a chance. Some tried and failed because the burden was made deliberately heavy - for sport and profit. At this point in history, many are being hung out to dry on a credit card, a service sector job or at a food bank. Some are using their final prayer breaths to propel their children to safety, their own lives spent. Humans come and go on this planet never knowing the possibility of a better way of life for themselves or their children. Granted, there are some who don't, won't or can't care - but these are not the problem nor are they a majority (though the numbers rapidly grow by manufactured design).

Americans were the ones who allegedly had the best opportunities ever in the history of the planet. For a few minutes perhaps in the decades from 1950s through the 1970s. Then the fine tunes of social engineering were engaged; consumerism and military conquest became our way of life. Those who were entrusted to lead humanity decided instead to enslave it, make sport of it, and create a disposable society. Faithful followers mortgaged their faith for real and personal property they would never own free and clear, and for promises of personal fulfillment that never materialized. (Remember on-site childcare and the at-home or four-day work week, folks?)

Visions, vibrational adjustments and consciousness shifts are ideals for those who can manage proper care and maintenance of the body, mind and spirit. Right about now, the figure for that sector of the world population is probably hovering right around the Georgia Guidestones mark. Hopefully the marked ones will find the task of serving the 33 via the 427 not disagreeable. Otherwise, they will find themselves quite alone and defenseless and, even with proper food and medical attention, their spirits will suffer. We are not as evolved as we think we are.

Ryan went on to film an hour long commentary as a follow-up to the interview. My assessment of the interview and my opinion remain unchanged. Ryan's work is valuable and his heart in the right place as they say. But there is a blind spot in his field of vision: The rulers have no intention of giving up control (one is given "20 seconds" to make a point, said Charles). No amount of spiritual muscle has thus far convinced them to do so.

For all we know and have seen evidenced in the history of religion, we could be praying to their gods.

Book Review: The Path of Light by Christian O'Brien

The Golden Age Project has reprinted Christian O'Brien's book, The Path Of Light, translations of two neglected manuscripts, the Askew Codex and the Bruce Codex. Both codices are written in the Upper Egypt Coptic dialect and have been in the possession of the British Museum since 1795 and 1842, respectively. They reveal a Jesus who conducts his disciples through initiation mysteries and rituals at the Mount of Olives after the crucifixion.

The Path of Light is a core source for one of humanity's many age-old stories that circulates underground and bubbles up to the surface from time to time. It offers invaluable insights to tune one's understanding of secret teachings, hidden meanings and symbolism - terms often bandied about in theological discussions, particularly those that focus on secret society rituals. One's esoteric vocabulary is sharpened and ceremonial traditions take form in these writings that detail the disciples' initiation process.

Jesus' disciples, sometimes called apostles, are generally identified as a group rather than individually in the texts. In prayer and commentary, Jesus referred to them as “my disciples”. The infrequency of individual name usage seemed more pronounced perhaps because Mary Magdalene was Jesus' star pupil in the recordings. Mary's leaping, prostrating and weeping sometimes distracts from the discourse, leading this reader to wonder why the scribes portrayed Mary as the teacher's pet. The scribes - Matthew, Philip and Thomas - were identified and appointed by Jesus as the recorders of the writings in the codices. The rest of the disciples, mentioned occasionally, are:
Martha, Salome, Andrew, Bartholomew, James, John, Peter, and Simon the Caananite. Together with Mary Magdalene, Matthew, Philip and Thomas, they are twelve (though not specifically listed as the twelve).
O'Brien's arrangement of the texts begins and ends with the Askew Codex, with the first two sections of the Bruce Codex placed in between to create continuity in the sequence. The Askew Codex was in relatively good order when discovered however it lacked a record of the advanced question and answer opportunities promised by Jesus in the text. O'Brien located these missing inquiries in the Bruce Codex, which text was initially found in a disheveled state and rebound by Carl Schmidt in 1893. Schmidt was the first to edit and translate both codices, followed by Violet MacDermot in 1978, and finally O'Brien, who credits Schmidt's and MacDermot's expertise vis-a-vis “the more subtle intricacies of the Coptic language”. O'Brien succeeds in weaving the discourses into a seamless depiction of the disciples' initiation.

"After Jesus had recovered from his Crucifixion, he spent eleven sessions in discoursing with his disciples.” This simple statement opens Chapter One and will surely unnerve adherents to Christianity who have never heard otherwise. The impact and import of Jesus' surviving his ordeal is not easily retrofitted into biblical constructs, yet that is precisely what must be done when historical evidence reveals even the remotest possibility. Civilizations prefer to memorialize events by official decree; therefore valuable stockpiles of information have been (and are) buried in order to avoid institutional indigestion, a condition caused by anything that hints at the possibility of questioning authorities. Historically, the events and circumstances of Jesus' life were separated into orthodox and esoteric teachings so as to require minimal rearrangement of the 'facts'. So-called “secret teachings” have been divulged to the privileged over the past two millennium, however with the advent of the internet many of these secrets are spilling out – albeit out of context in many cases. The Path of Light offers context to a ritual of initiation whose roots are ancient and whose branches are numerous.

Many of the names and terms used by teachers and students of ancient mysteries take form and breathe by O'Brien's hand. The divine hierarchy and the spiritual regions are described by Jesus for his disciples. He begins by telling them:
“From this moment, I shall not conceal anything from you concerning the Heavenly Regions and the Places of Forgetfulness (Oblivion). For, by the Grace of the Royal, Ineffable One, I have been given authority to speak to you of the earliest Mystery of Mysteries -– from the very Beginning until the establishment of the Pleroma, from the Lowest to the Highest, and from the Highest to the Lowest.”
From here the journey proceeds, covering the 24 spiritual regions and their planes, subdivisions, and specific places of interest. Tracked are the activities of the Archons, Aeons, Archangels, Watchers, and notable characters such as the Pistas Sophia. The harassments and repentances of the Sophia, and her relationship to Jesus, cover three chapters and are well worth examining given Sophia's emergence in pop culture.

Man's quest to unlock the mysteries of universal consciousness and to harmonize one's own mind, body and spirit responses, are facilitated in Jesus' teachings. It became clear during the course of reading this book that initiation rituals are meant to be an experience of the body and spirit as much as they are purposed for the transmission of knowledge.

Christian O'Brien's The Path Of Light shows us how it was done – by a Master.
