This is the footage the world has been waiting for. But better than that, come see it live! Robert Bingham is able to summon UFOs over Los Angeles in front of eyewitnesses. He will do it again this weekend for all to see and film. Footage continues to come into Third Phase of Moon regarding the May 19th 2012 event.
People do not believe because they do not want to believe. It is certainly not for lack of tangible, first hand, eyewitness, and now repeatable evidence. "I'll believe it when I see it," we say. Then most of us do not bother to look and investigate. The disclosure process is under way. Many former officials from our military and space programs have stepped forward (disclosureproject.org). Yet ideologues still stubbornly cling to the safe and comforting old-world view:
Never mind the evidence; we are all alone in the inky blackness of space, the random byproduct of chance and fortuitous circumstances. And we alone met with this chance and these circumstances. In fact, we are the project of many groups. We are protected, guided, enslaved, menaced, abused, and led/misled by extraterrestrials. Meanwhile, we argue about "little green men" and other disinformation fed to us for generations. Look up. But do it at the Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles on June 3, 2012 at 10:30 am. Bring high quality cameras.
FIGURINE found at the East St. Louis dig site is made of a type of pipestone called Missouri flint clay. It portrays a kneeling woman holding a marine shell cup -- possibly a fertility goddess [or meditator] (Illinois State Archaeological Survey, Univ. of Illinois):
ANCIENT CAHOKIA, modern Illinois - Across the Mississippi River from St. Louis' famous Gateway Arch is a part of Illinois that's a post-industrial wasteland.
Some hope the construction of a new bridge across the Mississippi River will help revitalize the area. But archaeologists worry future development could destroy what's left of another neighborhood -- one that flourished there almost a thousand years ago.
Working just ahead of the cranes and earth movers that are building a stretch of the interstate freeway, archaeologists have unearthed the remains of a sophisticated American Indian settlement no one knew existed.
There are remnants of more than a thousand prehistoric houses and the base of an earthen pyramid -- one of dozens that would have towered above the original settlement.
Rising 100 feet above the ground, Monks Mound is the tallest of the 80 or so pyramid-mounds remaining at the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site in Illinois. Around 900 years ago it was a carefully maintained earthen pyramid, supporting a large wooden temple several stories high (Véronique LaCapra/St. Louis Public Radio).
This East St. Louis dig sits halfway between a crumbling meat packing plant and a now-closed strip club. But Joe Galloy, who is coordinating research here for the Illinois State Archaeological Survey, says 900 years ago, visitors paddling here by canoe from the Mississippi River would have seen the tall wooden temples that stood on top of many of the pyramids. And at their bases, [were] rows and rows of thatched-roof huts.
"One of the things that I imagine an ancient visitor to this site would have experienced was kind of a sense of awe and wonder," Galloy says. "There would be fires and things like that. People cooking stuff -- all sorts of activity. And you'd see this huge village. And it was probably a very impressive site, one of the largest settlements that people had seen if they hadn't been around this area before."
Further to the southwest in what was once Mesoamerica, now Mexico, there is the great Pyramid of the Sun (greatdreams.com).
Galloy says archaeologists knew about the pyramids from old maps and excavations, but they were all outside the bounds of this new dig site. "So for us it was a really big surprise to come out and discover that we have this big residential area for this ancient city."
Cahokia: A Bustling, Ancient City
Galloy and others believe that what they've found here near East St. Louis is a prehistoric suburb of an ancient city known as Cahokia, once the largest American Indian city north of Mexico. Its remains are five miles away.

For some youngsters the novelty has worn off. Adults are being burned by Facebook stock and lawsuits. And now it seems (pro-FBI) non-CIA-aligned media are interested in oppositional stories (brownsdesign.com).
SAN FRANCISCO - For teens, it has been an essential rite of passage: They turn 13 and join Facebook.
Since she signed up three years ago, friend requests and status updates are as much a part of Meera Kumar's life as homework and exams at Menlo School, the elite private institution in leafy Atherton, California, where she's a 16-year-old sophomore.
But when her kid sister Anika turned 13 last year, she gave Facebook a pass."

"Flame" and homeland spying by US (MIC)
(NPR) ...The New York Times reported that former Pres. George W. Bush and B.S. Obama both authorized computer-virus attacks against Iran, culminating in the Stuxnet virus. They secretly and illegally targeted Iranian nuclear power plants. A United Nations agency raised alarms about another [spying] virus that escaped onto the W.W.W., dubbed "Flame," which may also have been designed for use against Iran. The Flame virus was highlighted in a cyber security alert issued by the International Telecommunication Union (I.T.U.), whose cyber security coordinator says his organization noticed some malicious software spreading around the Middle East...

Kim Phuc was photographed running down the road as a naked child (center) screaming from the United States' napalm (jellied gasoline) burns to
her skin. Nick Ut, the Associated Press photographer who was there to
cover the siege, took the photograph of young Kim:
US/MIC's history of war has given rise to many tragedies as seen in this photo of Kim Phuc.
Moved by her pain, he
rushed her to a South Vietnamese hospital. Kim Phuc
was born and raised in the village of Trang Bang, 30 minutes north of
Saigon. During the US War on Vietnam, the strategic Route 1 that runs through
the village became the main supply road between Saigon and Phnom Penh.
On June 8, 1972 an American military "adviser" coordinated the napalm
bombing of Kim’s village by the South Vietnamese. Nine-year-old Kim fled
from a Buddhist pagoda, where she and her family had been hiding. Two of her
infant cousins were murdered in the attack by Americans, and Kim was badly burned. More

Are humans causing a mass extinction on the magnitude of the one that killed the dinosaurs? The answer is yes, according to a new analysis -- but we still have some time to stop it.
Mass extinctions include events in which 75 percent of the species on
Earth disappear within a geologically short time period, usually on the
order of a few hundred thousand to a couple million years.
It's happened
only five times before
in the past 540 million years of multicellular life on Earth. (The last
great extinction occurred 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs were
wiped out.)
"It's bittersweet, because we're showing that we have this crisis,"
study co-author Elizabeth Ferrer, a graduate student in biology at the
University of California at Berkeley, told LiveScience. "But we still have
time to fix this."

Can Buddhism save the world? Prof. David Loy, Bunkyo Univ., Japan (thezensite.com)
Nelson Foster's important article "How Shall We Save the World?" raises
questions that are crucial to engaged Buddhism:
Why has institutional
Buddhism been so conspicuously ready to accommodate inequalities and
tyrannies? How did Buddhism serve [living] beings, much less save them, by
withdrawing from society?
...Buddhism not only arose
in India, it still flourishes in many South Asian countries. How much
did (and does) institutional Buddhism in South and Southeast Asia
exemplify the same social and political indifference as East Asian
Buddhism?
And what do the differences between [western] and eastern
Buddhism reveal about the cultural appropriation of Buddhism?
Both
questions should be of special interest to us western Buddhists
concerned about the acculturation of Buddhism to a very different type
of civilization.
The little I know about South Asian Buddhism suggests a more
complex situation than the one Nelson identifies in East Asia. A book by Steven Collins analyzing Buddhist ideology in pre-modern South
Asia, Nirvana and Other Buddhist Felicities, emphasizes a tension in Buddhism's social role.
[Older] Pali texts were sometimes used to rationalize an exploitative status
quo by emphasizing karma and rebirth to "naturalize" social hierarchies
and elites (including the privileges of the monastic Sangha), [sometimes falsely]
drawing parallels between buddhas and rulers (kings as bodhisattvas).
But other readings of Buddhist texts support a very different ethics
that challenged the role of rulers and viewed all violence, even state-sponsored
punishment, as immoral.
The tension between these two [readings] seems to have been
fundamental: Whereas Buddhist texts from all periods defend the authority of
kings, others from all periods show that all kings are bad.
"There
is no single and simple 'Buddhist' view of society, ideal or actual.
Society, one might better say, is a prime site for the work of Buddhist
culture, an inexhaustible fund of material on which the antagonistic
symbiosis between clerics and kings could draw, to express both sides of
the relationship" (496).More

Kristen Stewart, stepping away from the "Twilight" franchise, is turning into a sleeping beauty. Often accused of being inarticulate, wooden, even leaden, a female Keanu Reeves, this will be her chance to shine -- in sleep.
"Snow White and the Huntsman" (SWATH) is her chance to outdo the evil witch while playing with the affections of dwarfs.
Even Krampus (shown with siren chess player) might be baffled by Hollywood's Muse or the Fates: How could a "Twilight" star take down "MIB3" or "The Avengers" when the more beautiful Scarlett Johannson is starring in one of the most money-making movies of all time. (We can't imagine why).
That's how karma is, always working itself out in mysterious ways. Beauty, fame, and riches are no accident -- and they obviously do not always seem deserved. But deserved they are in some sense. They do not come from nothing, do not emerge from nowhere. There is a vast, unseen storehouse of merit to exhaust.
Often without realizing it, we conflate Judeo-Christian and Mahayana-Hindu values with what the Buddha taught. We assume they must be the same, that all religions are saying the same thing. The Buddha's explanation of karma was far different from anything anyone had ever taught. This includes the concept of merit and responsibility.
We merit what we get -- even when we seem to be stealing it. By stealing or cheating for undeserved advantage, we are only exhausting our store of merit (punya, profitable karma) and building up demerit (debt). "I" did not, ultimately speaking, do the former deed because there is no real continuity-in-identity. But it was not done by another. They are connected, sequentially, one influencing the other.
Out of compassion for who we will be (conventionally, not ultimately, speaking), we should store up acts of merit. They will be helpful and productive of happiness for a long time. But others will be jealous, confused, envious of our success. And we are not likely to put our profits to good use -- as enduring investments that yield timeless results (insight-wisdom and liberation).
It would have helped Snow White (the character) and the writers of the movie who, feeling like hacks, will probably be spending more time at art houses watching proper "films" like the biopic on the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill W. Or maybe they'll be dancing it out at "Battlefield America" and getting ready for Wednesday's US debut of Lunch Beat -- the latest dance craze sweeping the Continent.
The Buddhist calendar
begins with the final nirvana of the historical Buddha.
According to that event this is "Buddhist Year" 2556. It began on the full moon day of May (May 6, 2012).
The greatness of the Buddha was measured in terms of his virtue, concentration, and wisdom. But he is remembered as a guide because of the effectiveness of the teachings, the Dharma, he made known.
The virtues of the Buddha are reckoned as incalculable, immeasurable, unfathomable. They are like waves in
the ocean, redounding through time and imponderable. Nevertheless, the larger waves may be counted.
Therefore, the Buddha's virtues are sometimes condensed
for the sake of reflection (Buddhanusati, recollection and contemplation) into nine great virtues:
worthy (of honor and hospitality, gifts and praise, veneration
and respect)
self-awakened (enlightened through his own trailblazing efforts rather than benefiting from the discovery of another fully enlightened teacher)
endowed with knowledge
and conduct (six unparalleled
aspects of superknowledge
and ethical personal behavior in accordance with wisdom and compassion)
well gone (attained to the supreme, the unexcelled, nirvana)
knower of the world (who fully knew
both inner and outer worlds, the dimensions and paths of karma)
supreme trainer of persons
to be tamed (a master physician for the physical pain and, moreover, the mental suffering of living beings)
teacher of devas and humans (guide of "shining ones," sometimes called "gods," who are subtle-unseen beings of various kinds, as well as ordinary human beings)
awakened (buddha, awake and able to awaken others by inspiring and pointing out the path-of-practice that brings about the realization of liberating truth)
blessed (holder of great virtues).
It is on account of these that so many revered and held as sacred the advice and instructions of Siddhartha Gautama who became the "Buddha." His enlightenment is thought to have happened 2,600 years ago.
Other virtues include the Ten Perfections that led to buddhahood.
Throughout history, boys have been taught that the things that make them men -- good men -- are transcendent ideals like courage and honesty and integrity.
Girls have been led to believe that a woman's moral compass lies somewhere between her legs, literally.
In this alternately hilarious and enraging film adaptation of her bestselling book, The Purity Myth, pioneering feminist blogger Jessica Valenti shows how this double-standard is alive and well today.
This is due to a well-funded coalition of virginity-obsessed political conservatives bent on vilifying feminism and rolling back women's rights.
Valenti trains her sights on what she calls the "virginity movement" -- an unholy alliance of evangelical Christians, political activists, and policy wonks spreading irrational fears about women's sexuality.
Their goal is to shape government policy, public education, and even popular culture in their own traditionalist image.
And whether Valenti's focus is on the exploding popularity of dad-and-daughter "purity balls," or the millions of dollars American taxpayers are forced to shell out each year for failed abstinence-only programs, her baseline target is the same: the myth that the worth of a woman depends on what she does or does not do sexually.
In the end, The Purity Myth shows why commercial culture's hyper-sexualization of women -- condemning them in school and at church while pimping them on the growing number of freeway strip club billboards -- is too serious a problem to be left to ideologues.
Arguing that the antidote to our "pornified" culture is a set of reactionary policies that replace one form of sexism with another is no answer. Instead, we must embrace women's autonomy and power. More
Dead Can Dance perform "Yulunga" as New Age World music.
Sex, Drugs, New Age Music: My Search for Enlightenment in 90′s Her face is frozen in a goofy smile. Eyes glazed over, body suddenly unmoving beneath me. My first thought is that maybe I am doing something wrong. I lift my head and look into her vacant eyes, “Are you trying to tell me something?”
Then I see it. A thin trickle of blood coming out of the side of her mouth.
“Oh my God. No, no!”
Her face registers nothing as I pull out of her, a gooey strand... as I look at her motionless body on the bed. My goddess, my Buddha-girl, my hot little green eyed, blonde gypsy princess.
More blood. Is she dying?
I am distraught. Run to the door yelling “Somebody help me, please, we need help!”
It must be her diabetes. Kristina is an insulin dependent diabetic. Five times a day she pricks her finger and drips a droplet of blood onto her handheld blood sugar meter. Before every meal she injects herself with insulin using her little disposable syringes, always trying to calculate the balance.
Thing is though, Kristina usually errs on the side of too much insulin and too little blood sugar. She does this intentionally, because while the symptoms of low blood sugar are obvious -- high blood sugar will go unnoticed until years of it create the kinds of irreparable damage that lead to blindness or amputation.
Being a dyed-in-the-wool bliss-chaser, Kristina also loves the initial altered state of having the kind of low blood sugar most of us never experience. She is usually convinced that it is a sign that all of her meditation, yoga, and psychedelic experimentation is bringing about a transformation in how she experiences reality. One of the first things LSD does to your brain? Reduces blood sugar levels. ...
Kristina cannot remember anything from the last two weeks. For the next two days I tell and retell the story of Goa, of the German Cafe and the sunset on acid, of the caves in Ajanta, the overnight bus from the Osho Ashram in Pune, my hiking boots being gone in the morning -- stolen by the nice Indian students who had sung pop songs with us into the black night as the bus snaked up the narrow and treacherously bumpy roads.
She asks the same questions every half hour or so, until eventually the amnesia subsides and all of her memory comes back.
We had been in Goa. Under that epic sky, protected by the multi-colored canopy stretched over that balcony draped over the cliff, looking down on the wide expanse of ocean. More
(BigHappyDay) Emotional Intelligence: Inhale love and peace. Exhale surrender and forgiveness. Consider cultivating self-compassion. Feel it. Live more freely from the heart.
I am celebrating my 15th year at Santa Monica Yoga by offering three absolutely FREE one-hour yoga workshop sessions over the Summer!
The specific purpose of these workshops (besides saying thank you) is to provide some useful tools for any students who are dealing with injuries, pain syndromes, tension patterns, or stability issues.
I will provide alternate postures and key points of attention in poses as well as some specific modified sequences designed to be therapeutic.
Typically, in a full class there is a limited amount of attention and time I can give to individual students. This is an opportunity to address specific issues in an efficient way so that people can get the most benefit from their yoga classes.
Best of all, these techniques and sequences can then be brought back into regular classes!
Open Sky Meditation: scanning body awareness opens us up like the sky. Thoughts, sensations, emotions come and go like clouds in an open sky.
Come with a friend or spouse if you want to learn an optional massage technique or two that might come in handy as well. It will be fun! Teachers, new and experienced students, and massage therapists are all welcome.
The only caveat is that if you are in the acute stage of any injury, observe and take notes instead of participating so you can utilize these tools once healing has progressed a little further.
The FREE sessions will be from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm in the Garden Studio on:
Saturday June 30: Low Back and Hip Stability/Flexibility
Sunday July 15: Neck and Shoulder Stability/Flexibility
Saturday August 18: Low Back and Hip Stability/Flexibility
Although these short workshops are absolutely FREE, space is limited -- so pre-registration is required.
Buddhist Meditation: Stop. Enjoy this meditation. Notice this body.
A CAMPAIGN FOR THE CYNICS: The candidates know elections are decided by the least informed, the least involved and the least interested in politics. Obama, Israel ordered computer attacks on Iran
Grant Gross, ComputerWorld.com, June 1, 2012 The Stuxnet worm, developed by U.S. and Israeli agencies, targeted Iran's nuclear program, says the New York Times.
(IDG) U.S. President Barack Obama ordered the Stuxnet cyberattacks on Iran in an effort to slow the country's development of a nuclear program, according to a report in The New York Times.
Quoting anonymous sources, the Times reported that in the early days of his presidency, Obama accelerated attacks related to an effort begun by the George W. Bush administration. The Stuxnet worm, long rumored to have been developed by Israel or the U.S., escaped from Iranian computers in mid-2010 and compromised computers across the Internet.
Obama considered shutting down the cyberattacks after Stuxnet began compromising other computers, but decided to continue with the program, according to the Times. The Stuxnet worm came from a joint U.S. and Israeli effort to target the Iranian nuclear program, the Times said. The newspaper interviewed U.S., Israeli and European officials currently and formerly involved with the cyberattack program, it said. More
Another installment in our ongoing quest to reveal WHY THINGS REALLY HAPPEN
Luminary "Edgar Cayce" -- reborn as David Wilcock (DivineCosmos.com) -- reacts, cries in a panic, to a serious death threat because he has revealed a lynchpin in how the world's economy secretly operates.
CONTEXT: Benjamin Fulford is making revelations. There is an alliance of 117 nations now aligned against the "Illuminati," which most people are either not aware of or do not believe exists. They are the secret political leadership of the G-5 countries. Formerly controlled countries are pulling their power back. And the Illluminati has a plan to assert draconian control. How?
By eliminating the gold standard, countries will be left with easily manipulated "fiat currencies," money that has nothing backing it but the whim of its temporary leaders. Why is gold so dangerous? As it turns out gold was once the standard, and so it continued for centuries. But this left Asian countries, particularly China, holding 80% or more of the gold.
Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations said that if nations hold gold, they are a risk to rest of the world. The gold has to be kept out of the international market. This is the "biggest" economic secrecy. Wealth (in terms of fiat currency) is created with value relative to its economic output.
The British empire, secretly run by the Rothschilds working as a proxy, carried out this Adam Smith economic plan. The gold collected in Asia due to its very desirable high-quality products. How to get the gold away from China? Japan was co-opted to become an imperial force to loot the wealth of other Asian nations for the benefit of the world order as dictated by the banks.
"The Bank of International Settlements" was created in 1921 along with a very secret plan with Emperor Hirohito in London.
The Plan
All the gold in the world would be confiscated and put under deposit secretly. China was invaded and plundered, first by murderous bandits then systematically by Japanese Army soldiers. There are two million tons of gold on deposit held by the Bank of International Settlements and the private US Federal Reserve Bank, Inc.
The value of this gold (according to the spot price of gold in December 2011 according to Wilcock's calculations) is worth 11 million trillion US dollars. Gold is not scarce as we are told, anymore than diamonds or oil are. There is a hidden gold supply. Gold has already been taken. Why Fulford has kept many of the details of the biggest secret is unknown, but Wilcock is revealing them now as quickly as possible.
Bonds were issued for the gold by the Federal Reserve, seven US battleship's worth, according to the 1944 Brenton Woods Agreement. There is a facility, according to an insider speaking to Wilcock, with a mile-long hall leading to rooms the size of a basketball gymnasium with gold stacked floor to ceiling. The lie is that, according to Wikipedia, there is only 120,000 tons of officially recognized gold in the world. The actual number is over 2,000,000 tons.
The value of two million tons of gold is over eleven-million-trillion dollars. This is the secret collateral backing the fiat "bubble" money of the world. The fiat money system cannot be defeated; no one can rise up against it because the gold, which would serve as the standard, is protected.
[Buddhist lore says such treasure is protected by nagas, "dragons," "serpents," or reptilian-human hybrids, the central figures of reverence in China and among the Illuminati.]
Things get stranger: JFK was going to issue metal-based money. That would go against the long-standing plans. Those in charge -- the banksters, movers, and shakers unknown -- would not tolerate it. He was killed three days later.
The Chinese sued for the return of their gold and won! Winning took place in the Hague in 1998 in the United Nations in a secret trial. The 60 year term of the charter expired in 1994, but the Federal Reserve said no to returning the gold even having lost. This led to another trial and a settlement. The money was to be returned on September 12th, 2001. However, the day before was 9/11.
So part of the reason for the 9/11 deception was to destroy WTC Building 7, which was never struck by a plane but nevertheless collapsed (was brought down using energy weaponry and controlled demolition) under which the gold was kept. The gold vault was emptied, according to Benjamin Fulford, and nothing else happened until another lawsuit against the Federal Reserve forced the transfer from US hands to the Chinese.
The Chinese?
But what was shipped to the Chinese was electro gold-plated tungsten, which was essentially worthless. The "Chinese" are NOT the communists in power today. It refers to the deposed party under Chiang Kai-Shek called the Kuomintang (KMT) that fled to Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines, and elsewhere.
The KMT got the fake gold. They retaliated by organizing an international alliance that caused the collapsing of the dollar and many American corporations. This was the 2008 financial collapse. Moreover, in the aftermath, TARP was created to bail everyone out. Money was created out of thin air delaying plans.
But the next part of plan is the China October Surprise. And there is a lawsuit by the alliance of 117 nations (now 122) mentioned to begin with. This much was revealed in the first 26 minutes of the interview.
