LINKS BY GEORGE NEWSLETTER

What another batch of aggravating articles that the "dominates"
are inflicting into our world that we need to be aware of: threats
of invasion of Iran at the risk of even wider death and destruction,
lakes across the US dying for corporate pollution, unsustainable
water wastage, targeting dissent as "domestic terrorism", etc.
But in the same week we also learn about more ways cannabis
can heal body, mind and spirit, determination to force GMO labeling,
grassroots activism for a better life for all, etc. No spiritual path
or mystical awareness can be complete without integrating the
axis of heart, mind, soul and hands. Doesn't the phrase "are we
not our brother's keepers" get studied in weekly Bible classes?
Like it or not, the world is indeed "too much with us" with denial
and apathy only serving the onslaught of pain and misfortune on
others. If "we are the world", let's spread awareness and chose
to be of any help possible. Voting for conscious political leaders
in just one way. Taking part in helping feed those in need,
environmental activism, telling neighbors about views and stories
they don't hear on mainstream media or in office coffee break gossip,
personal example in how we live and simply embracing each other
with random acts of kindness are all part of the equation as well.
We are all part of solutions and every good intention and action
helps. I hope in my humble dedication to spread articles as I can
spread a few seeds in the process. As Bob Dylan once said "don't
follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters" and Frank Zappa updated
the thought of questioning authority twenty years later with this quote "
"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to
continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too
expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they
will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs
out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the
theater."

I have lived in several places around the world and have been sending
my "Links by George" newsletter, blog and Facebook postings which I
describe as "an eclectic list of links of articles, music and quotes relating to alternative lifestyles, culture, shamanism, spirituality, politics, conspiracies,
art images and environmental issues". I arrange the format so as to flow from one story to another as well as have the option to find out more details on any particular story.

YOUR DONATION OF ANY SIZE HELPS, IS NEEDED
AND VERY APPRECIATED


I am committed to networking these articles and stay many hours a day
researching. Our financial situation is very challenging as it is and the cost
to keep the internet services also is a problem each month. I would like
to thank the friends that have sent in donations to the service I provide.
I am not asking for anyone to feel that they have to donate.
My service is from the heart and it is a pleasure for me to outreach
to as many people as possible. Many people write me back
that they have benefited from the articles and thus the information
provides a service. However, if anyone can send even a small donation
to me through pay pal or otherwise, my family and I
would be very very appreciative.
In any case, the 'links by George" will go on. Please feel free to forward this newsletter as well as my Facebook messages as networking information is a vital tool of awareness. I would be happy to add other interested people to my mailing list as well.

We have a PAY PAL account where you can send a contribution
through your credit card.
We also have an account with DWOLLA which allows you
to send a donation
from a bank account without need of using a credit card

If you prefer to send a check or money order, our address is:

 False Flags and Imperial Mobilization: "The Middle East Explodes on 9/11 Anniversary. The annual 9/11 "remembrance" has become a yearly international holiday for the Big Lie. Every year, people commemorate 9/11 without having a clear understanding of the original event or the elite agenda that made it possible. This lack of comprehension persists, even as the world explodes in series of orchestrated "new 9/11s" on the eleventh anniversary of the original crime..The attacks of 9/11/01 was a false flag operation of the Bush/Cheney administration and CIA-affiliated military-intelligence assets (Al-Qaeda, etc.). The resulting "war on terrorism" of the Bush/Cheney and Obama administrations is built on false flag terrorism and propaganda. The "terrorists" are military-intelligence assets, acting on behalf of Anglo-American leaders and their allies.9/11 is not history. It is now."

 The War on Terror exploits the tragedy of September 11 for the benefit of a very few. "We are at War. Somebody is Going to Pay." George W. Bush, Sept 11th, 2001.Eleven years later, we are still at war. Bullets, mortars and drones are still extracting payment. Thousands, tens of thousands, millions have paid in full. Children and even those yet to be born will continue to pay for decades to come. On a single day in Iraq last week there were 29 bombing attacks in 19 cities, killing 111 civilians and wounding another 235.

But this take on the empty-chair speech is not hilarious. It is, in fact, really disgusting, and possibly something the FBI might want to get on top of: Yet because one sad, old racist can't handle the fact that the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, is African-American, he ties that same flag to a public display calling for that President's violent, racially charged death."
