David Icke (pronounced ike as in "like")
encapsulates our current plight and how humanity can secure its
freedom from the hidden hand behind global events.
Tens of
millions of people across the globe now turn to David Icke's
extraordinary information as the world he has predicted in books and
talks is becoming part our daily experience.
We are seeing the pages
of George Orwell's famous dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, come to life in what can now be called
our Big Brother surveillance state.
The Matrix we are sleepwalking through is expanding toward its goal of a global
fascist authoritarian planet. "Fascism" is simply the marriage of corporate and government forces most famously seen in Nazi Germany.
Icke has spent decades doing research
in more than 45 countries uncovering the cabal of interbreeding
bloodlines and exclusionary families. Their agenda, with our help as "little Eichmanns," is for human enslavement.
Their goals and
methods of operation and manipulation are all around us if we wake up to them: PR, propaganda, mainstream media complicity, police state abuse, White House collusion, imperialism, and our own unwitting participation.
Once we begin to become aware of what is
really happening in our world and why, Icke's presentation
is not to be missed. Our freedom and that of our descendents for seven generations depend on it.

Israel sounds [false] alarm as Iran engages in nuclear talks:
Last weekend's meeting on Iran's controversial nuclear program didn't
produce any breakthroughs, but the envoys from six world powers and Iran
suggested that the talks in Istanbul began a process that could lead to
an eventual compromise. NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro reports that
Israel was not happy with the results from Istanbul.
Nazi past has French town wary of Far-Right politics:
Much of the French presidential campaign has played out on the far
right, around the issues of security and crime and immigration. Even
Pres. Nicolas Sarkozy has spoken of limiting immigration and deporting
foreigners. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley visited a French town still haunted
by ghosts of its far-right past.
US campaign finance disclosures mark turning point:
We have a new look at the fundraising contest being waged by Pres. BS
Obama and Gov. Willard "Mittens" Romney. The Mormon may like to say the
pseudo-Muslim president is out of ideas, but Obama's re-election
campaign is definitely not out of money.
World Bank: Strings attached to IMF's new financial firepower:
Member countries have pledged $430 billion to add to the International
Monetary Fund's crisis-fighting arsenal. The aim is to amass enough
resources to handle any further problems coming from the prolonged debt
crisis in Europe, but the funds come with a few caveats.
City is calm, a day after Syria-wide protests:
The shelling in the City of Homs has stopped for the moment. A small
advance team of United Nations observers are visiting the country. On
Friday, thousands turned out for anti-government protesters across
Syria. NPR's Kelly McEvers reports that activists say at least 16 people
were killed.
Much of Buddhist philosophy depends on perception. We have the same world in front of us -- replete with dukkha ("unsatisfactoriness"), radical impermanence, and no-self (impersonality). However, we do not all attain enlightenment by directly seeing the Four Noble Truths.
Seeing these truths would lead to the breakthrough in insight resulting in enlightenment, nirvana, and complete freedom from all suffering.
How we see things is dependent not only on them but on us. Reality is just as it is. Yet, few see it. The problem is partly in the looking, partly in the looker, and somewhat in the objects being observed.
Things need to be observed mindfully (without thinking or judging, but simply observing) dispassionately, and with sustained attention.
The looker's virtue (ethics, sila, morality) -- not necessarily one's past, but one's present state of mind -- needs to be cleansed.
The most efficacious thing to observe is perhaps the breath, but there are also other beneficial objects (such as the elements, body parts, kasinas, and various contemplative objects such as the Dharma, Buddha, Sangha, devas, or even in some cases death).
How could this be? People awake (and dogs asleep) are sunk in delusion (ensnared by lust and trapped by anger/fear). And these objects and this way of looking has the ability to jar one awake. Here are two examples of the problem ordinary living beings face.
