Healer-shaman Embera Nation Panama
My friend Dave who is staying with him says:
''he can cure tumors, breast cancer, ulcers, aids you name it!! i cant believe it!
and nobody is helping this man! hes been turned down to most of the hospitals
and aids places. cause he doesnt have his doctorates degree. im hearing
witnessing it right now. i could send some free medicine, but i dont think
you can ship plants internationally. we need to get this knowledge out as
soon as possible and start healing people. then we need to protect all the
sacred sites, and the rainforest so the medicine will be rich and alive.''

Steve Weissman | Welcome to the Revolution
Steve Weissman, Truthout: "With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the United States
proclaimed itself the world's only super-power and hawked American-style
capitalism as the only economic system worth considering. How the mighty
have fallen. A needless war in Iraq now calls into question whether the
American military can control the oil and natural gas of the Persian Gulf
and Caspian Sea, while the current financial chaos has driven the faith-based
Bush administration to pray for government ownership in banks, insurance
companies and other financial institutions. No matter who becomes president,
Obama or McCain, this double-barreled cock-up will force Washington to
redefine the global role of the American military and the economic role of
the US government."






No Dog in this Fight
By P Jerome
By November 5, the same people will be controlling our lives, regardless
of the election outcome. Real power never gets voted out of office.
It must be confronted and overturned.
