Oh how wonderful! There’s nothing that thrills us Americans more than seeing talentless heirs ad heiresses rise to prominence due to their god given right to do so. Bravo! We’re so glad to Warren Buffet and Obama openly step up to the plate as well!

shovonc's avatarINDIA UPDATE

In news that has relieved lovers of money everywhere, legendary investment guru Warren Buffet has announced that the search for his successor is finally over. New Delhi-based entrepreneur Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Indian Supremo Sonia Gandhi, will soon be taking over as head of Berkshire Hathaway.

“Despite an extremely rigorous gym schedule, this extraordinary young man has become a billionaire in just four years,” said the Sage of Omaha. “Not only did he convince real estate giant DLF to give him an entire suburb of Delhi at throwaway prices, he also got them to lend him the money, interest free. My sources inform me that he is also acquiring two or three other Indian states, but he’s too modest to talk about these things.”

Members of Sonia Gandhi’s domestic staff have welcomed the move.

“I kiss his boots on a regular basis,” said Law Minister Salman Khurshid, “It’s amazing how…

What if They Held an Election and No One Came? An Interview of Activists

Boston Occupier Joe Ramsey interviews activists on the issue of boycotting the election:

“What if they held an election and nobody came?”

Joe Ramsey October 23, 2012 0

An interview with Election Boycott Activists Mark E. Smith and Terri Lee of the Boycott Election 2012 campaign.

This interview was conducted in September and October 2012, via email, by Joe Ramsey. The responses below were co-authored by Terri Lee and Mark E. Smith.

Joe Ramsey: Do you think that it’s correct to describe the U.S. as a “democracy” in 2012? How so or how not?

The definition of a democracy is a form of government where supreme power is vested in the hands of the people. In such a government, the final say on everything, including fiscal and foreign policy issues would be up to the people to decide by a direct vote.

Obviously we don’t have that kind of government, in fact both the Bush and Obama administrations were explicitly clear that they would not allow public opinion to influence policy decisions, so rather than having the final say, as we would if we the people had supreme power over government, we have no say at all. A republic is also a democratic form of government, but in a republic the people exercise their supreme power over government through their elected representatives rather than directly. But in order to exercise power over our elected representatives, we’d have to be able to hold them accountable and we can’t.

The best we can do is ask them to hold themselves accountable, and they don’t seem to want to do that–in fact they tend to grant themselves immunity and/or pardon themselves even for flagrant Constitutional violations and war crimes.

Cops Gone Wild

Infamous lover of pepper spraying entrapped, protesting women, NYC police supervisor, Tony Baloney seen in action.

 

In the Raw Story report about the Crown Heights police brutality issue, a video is embedded below the story that discloses a series of questionable police practices throughout the country.

Exposed in these videos are a series of obvious police abuses of power throughout the country.  A police frisking of news crews, police frisking and holding of two African-American men who are detained and threatened by police who state they will “make stuff up” to put the two arrestees at fault:

Another case of outrageous abuse involving an arrestee in Pennsylvannia, Robert Leone who is still as far as we know, serving time for crimes that seem overwhelmingly fabricated by a state police department and many actors, including the treating hospital and the Pennsylvannia jail system in participating in covering up the outrageously cruel actions of the officers involved in brutally beating Robert Leone:

More information is disclosed here on on a blog hosted by Amy Browne. Unfortunately the Facebook page for Robert Leone does not show up on a search and the link goes to nowhere.  But, the videos contained here also link to many other videos of police misconduct throughout the country. Updates to Robert’s Leone’s story will be posted when we can find them.

There is no doubt that the proliferation of small, portable video recording technology has increased the exposure of police misconduct.  The exposure of the historic Rodney King beating at first led to an all-white jury acquitting all officers involved in Rodney King’s horrific beat-down.  Not until the people in L.A.’s African American community used the only force they had in response — angry rioting, did the greater community demand justice for what many still wish to believe was an isolated and rare instance of police brutality.

But as technology increasingly improves and no longer does one need to hope for the presence of someone with a hulking video camera to be present at the scene, illegal police activity hits the spotlight ever more frequently.  In an era of increased paranoia, fed by a government intent on justifying police repression, people seem all too anxious to pick up the phone and report ‘suspicious’ behavior, all too often arising from assumptions based on long-held social prejudices.

While this site cannot possibly spend the time highlighting all instances of police brutality (and many sites exist that do that — which we will link to as we find them), we will attempt to draw attention to this issue and its larger social ramifications.

Especially important to note is the increased militarization of local police forces in the name of the ‘drug war’ when in fact proof exists time and time again that tanks, high powered assault weaponry and battering rams often are excessive, unnecessary and provoke police departments to act more like small guerilla armies than protectors of the law.  The implications of this trend are disturbing, when put up against the ease with which law enforcement officers cross the line of humane justice and into the realm of fascist enforcers of control and suppression. This is issue that should concern every citizen in this country.

Many progressives in New Hampshire have expressed concern that the efforts of some groups, particularly Cop Block in Manchester, NH and their libertarian supporters, draws attention from the real issues of police brutality in a misguided effort to create instances of police brutality by unnecessary escalation and provocation.  There exist enough cases of police over-use of authority that purposeful martyrdom not only trivializes real abuse cases, but draws attention from the broader, more important issues of racism, socio-economic stratification and increasing public xenophobia fed by the military-industrial complex and the media.

NYC Homeless Man Beaten by Cops

On October 16th, news broke nationally that a young man sleeping in a community center in the Crown Heights section of New York City was awakened by police and subsequently abused for almost five minutes for not complying with the cops’ demands that he submit to arrest.  The man repeatedly told the police he was allowed to be at the community center and had the permission of the center’s director, which one would think the cops would have notified to confirm and at least waited until the director came to the center to confirm.  But instead the cops acted on what appears to have been an anonymous ‘tip’ that someone was sleeping at the center without authority, thus trespassing.

How many times have people called cops asking for action on a particular issue only to have them say that they can’t act on ‘anonymous tips’, which on the whole seem to protect our rights and keep revenge seekers and busy-bodies from driving the cops all over on trivial, meaningless errands. Its still unclear why the cops felt that whoever called in had enough weight and authority for them to act by not only entering the center in the middle of the night, but to consider that person’s word of more value than a live individual or the community director, so much more weight that violating this individual’s right to safety and health was of secondary importance?

In the story as reported in Raw Story, you can see the senseless beat-down that this young man had to endure by these thugs in uniform.  Further down is the Crown Heights community coming forward to demand justice. I’m heartened to see the Jewish community coming together with the African-American community on this and I hope this is a trend we will see more of; police brutality is an issue that effects us all and we all need to be equally concerned and dilligent in calling out instances of its occurance. Far too often brutality in the African American community is over looked, despite overwhelming evidence. Let’s hope that will become more and more a feature of the past.

Raw Story: New York Police Brutally Beat Man for Sleeping at Synagogue

UPDATE: Charges have been dropped

From New York Daily News:

Brooklyn prosecutors have dropped all charges against a Jewish man videotaped getting pummeled by two cops at a Crown Heights synagogue.

Ehud Halevy, 21, was sleeping in the back room of the ALIYA youth center on East New York Ave. Oct. 8 when he was confronted by two police officers. After an argument about evacuating the premises — which the shirtless man refused to do — he was punched repeatedly by Officer Luis Vega.

A tape depicting the beatdown has gone viral and elicited angry responses from the Jewish community and elected officials, with many calling for the cops to be fired.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly had called the video “disturbing.”

“We believe the police fabricated the police report that they submitted and have failed to publicly acknowledge what really happened that night,” said ALIYA director Moishe Feiglin. He said Halevy was there with permission.

“After review of all available evidence, I have decided to dismiss the charges against Ehud Halevy,” Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes announced Monday afternoon.

Halevy was facing up to seven years in prison for the assault rap. He was also charged with resisting arrest, trespass, harassment and marijuana possessions.

The DA’s decision means the case is now closed.

A petition on change.com asking Hynes to drop the charges garnered nearly 90,000 signatures.

“Justice was done here,” said Halevy’s lawyer Norman Siegel. “There was no legal basis for the criminal charges and the dramatic video was extremely helpful.”

He said his client “was very pleased.”

The charges will be officially dismissed Wednesday.

Unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky as to have a whole unified community come together and put up such an immediate fuss that embarrasses the local department so much they can’t move fast to put the ‘incident’ out of public view.  Most victims of police brutality aren’t so lucky, often members of communities that the public has been trained to see as inhuman and in need of constant ‘correction’.

Even though Halevy and his attorney may be pleased with the outcome, nowhere in the Daily News story is any mention of punishment of the cops who obviously went way over board.  Some disciplinary action seems called for at the very least. It is disturbing that police officers who demonstrated an obvious lack of judgment and restraint still possess the power to restrain individuals without question and with deadly force.

It is distressing to say the least when a party that suffers under the weight of institutional wrong doing backs off when their personal wrong gets set right.  They forget is seems that the rest of the community needs them and their story to push for broad improvements in the institution that wronged them.  Dismissing the charges only amounts to an effort to move the stain out of the public view as soon as possible.

Damn Well About Time: UN Groups to Monitor Elections

Its damn well about time.  The ACLU and the NAACP have requested that election monitoring groups from the UN come in and monitor areas where minority vote suppression has been witnessed.  Of course the wingnuttia is having the predictable hissy fit about it, stamping their feet claiming that the UN can’t watch them because well, because they aren’t American.

Which is the point.  We want objective, fair and reasonable observation which can only come from a group completely removed from the rampant corruption coming out of the conservative even some of the moderate sides of the political landscape here.

You’d think that after all their crying and whining about ‘rampant’ election fraud, they’d welcome an outside source to monitor for such activities.  But no, apparently the wingnuts don’t like others looking over their shoulders.  I’d suggest they calm down because the best way oftentimes to find guilt is to find the one that resists the light of day the most.

 

 International monitors at US polling spots draw criticism from voter fraud groups

Liberal-leaning civil rights groups met with representatives from the OSCE this week to raise their fears about what they say are systematic efforts to suppress minority voters likely to vote for President Obama.

Thanks Nelle for Your All Your Work!

This past Thursday New Hampshire resident and activist Nelle Douville was awarded the Volunteer Service Award from Volunteer NH for her tireless work in defense of women’s reproductive rights.  Nominated by Planned Parenthood, Nelle was recognized for her dedication to women’s reproductive rights, particularly her brave service as an escort at the Manchester Planned Parenthood clinic.

Nelle was recognized in particular for her dedication to acting as a greeter/escort for women coming to the Planned Parenthood Clinic in Manchester, NH for services.  Every Thursday, the day when most of the state’s most dedicated religious wingnuttia shows up to harass women, Nelle can be counted on to provide a much needed buffer of sanity. As an escort, Nelle provides protection to women from the judgmental to those in need of services. Modest about her work but realistic about its importance, “Most days are pretty uneventful in terms of the protesters. It isn’t my job to pick fights with them, so I try to avoid interaction. I’m there for the patients.”

Nelle showing one protective weapon she uses.

Usually she says that the average count of protesters runs at about fourteen, with one time the number as high as sixty-one.  “They are there in all weather, rain, snow, heat… and sometimes some have children with them in poor weather conditions.”  Private security detail provides a security person on duty during these days to ensure that the protesters follow the law.  Nelle says that for a time the police would provide security but they weren’t always regular in showing up, the security service though is reliable, which is important. “There were two days they weren’t there. Those were particularly crazy, because the protesters didn’t feel under scrutiny for their behavior.” she adds.

Since Operation Rescue started the trend in the 80’s of harassing and shaming women entering into reproductive services clinics nationwide, the role of on-the ground escorts provides that final bridge in real time, over the troubled waters of women’s rights to secure access to proper medical care.  Asked about what sticks in her mind about her experience as a clinic escort, “Anytime someone is in tears bothers a great deal. Some of the comments can be quite cutting, and the usual ploy is to yell out all manner of uncouth things until people near the door, then they hurry a spiel to get them to go to their choice of quote family planning clinic.”

Clinic protesters in Manchester.  Apparently thinking no one notices their historic hypocrisy on the issue of supporting unmarried pregnant women, the sign at the table reads, “Pregnant women need support not abortions.”

Women like Nelle supply the mundane, yet essential service to other women who go to Planned Parenthood for a wide variety of healthcare services tailored specifically to women’s needs. As Nelle reminds, “Planned Parenthood offers a wide array of services and people try to misrepresent what it does.” While religious fundamentalists focus entirely on Planned Parenthood’s early term abortion services, most of their work provides education and screening for sexually transmitted diseases, essential healthcare such as PAP screenings and check-ups and also of course, affordable birth control.

Nelle also has helped out at rallies, providing the much needed assistance with manning tables and booths that help distribute information to the public about Planned Parenthood’s variety of healthcare services to women.

The Planned Parenthood Clinic in Manchester can always use a helping as Nelle most usually does her work alone.  Anyone interested in finding out more about becoming an escort (training is necessary to learn to deal with the protesters and provide the services needed to the clinic) one can go to the Planned Parenthood site here.  One thing to note: Planned Parenthood is not interested in counter-protesters or those feeling the urge to have the Great Battle with the protesters.  The job is to make sure that women get the services they need as easily and safely as possible.  Thanks Nelle for providing that much needed service to women in New Hampshire!

Rest in Peace George McGovern

Govern in middle of photo showing solidarity with anti-war marchers, 1972. (from Time Life photo essay).

 

A tireless and shameless advocate for those principles of the Democratic party that Republicans loved to deride in the 80’s, George McGovern passed away last night at the age of 90.  A man who never backed down from his pro-worker, anti-war and pro-people principles, George McGovern’s legacy will live on.  Although the Republicans and corporate media have loved to refer to him as if an aged and ailing icon of the defeat of liberalism, McGovern never swerved and never changed his positions or beliefs because they existed at the core of who he was as a man and a politician.

Time Life photo essay

In August of 2011, Daily Kos writes on the highlights of a Harper’s magazine essay written by McGovern.  See here for an inside look into a man that hid behind a calm and somewhat bland demeanor, a man who had a good grasp of policy and politics and spoke out tirelessly for justice.

Daily Kos: George McGovern’s Open Letter to President Obama

McGovern opens his letter by recognizing some facts of our current situation.  He says that only FDR and Obama have inherited serious economic crises within the past 100 years.  He notes that FDR got through Congress most of the New Deal programs with little opposition.  However, he notes:

Like Roosevelt, President Barack Obama has inherited a serious economic crisis, but in his first two years in office he has met with an even worse problem: the rigid opposition of the rival party leaders to national health care and nearly every other proposal he has made…Neither during my four years in the House of Representatives, when Dwight D. Eisenhower was in the White House, nor through eighteen years in the U.S. Senate, under John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, have I witnessed any president thwarted by the kind of narrow partisanship that has beset Obama…What has happened, one is compelled to ask, to the love of nation?

I think that this is important for us to hear, for as much as we’ve seen the political system evolve to where the GOP is the most obstructionist opposition in the post-Reconstruction era, it did not used to be this way within living memory.  McGovern probably has the likes of Everett Dirksen, who helped usher through the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, despite the protests of the Southern Democrats.  Consider this:  13 Republicans voted FOR the enactment of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965.  That would be impossible today.

In explaining this, McGovern takes the high road and suggests its about resistance to change by voters, “strengthened by powerful interests.”

Labor and Worker Justice, Opinion

A Worker Looks In From the Outside of the ‘Labor Community’

With the latest focus on actions across the country by Wal-Mart workers, many middle class people who have the privilege of not having to work a low wage job announce their solidarity with the workers.  But their focus is narrow and their solidarity rings hollow.  Until a smaller more active union stepped up to support some of the workers who have had the courage to step up, Wal-Mart workers were and (still remain largely) the butt of classist jokes, derisive comments and dismissal by most Americans.

In fact most low-wage work has the stigma in this country of being work occupied by lower educated, slower witted persons who by their lack of the exceptional talent of their middle class betters, have failed to advance economically.  This classist attitude rings hollow in the face of the fact that as the American job pool shrinks, more and more people are forced into working low-wage jobs.  Jobs traditionally shut-off from the traditional unions.  Like a self-serving circle of hell, low-wage workers get stuck in a system where their poverty and desperation feeds an inability and fear to agitate for better wages and working conditions.  Short working hours and low hourly pay that leads to poverty existence squeezes the reserves of workers who lack the flexibility to move to other, better paying work.  Armchair libertarians and the like love to argue ad infitnitum that all workers have mobility to “take their labor else where”.  Such fantasies serve only to blame the worker, leaving better paid workers, the employer and government policies that enable working poverty off the hook.

Sorely missing from the popular perception and focus of the Wal-Mart workers’ action is the acknowledgement that similar workers struggle everyday, unnoticed and unrepresented.  The theme in American politics reflects the tacit willingness of Americans to be separated by class distinctions with signage and slogans that cry out the lame theme, “Protecting the Middle Class”, as if there exists a fear of associating with the ‘unwashed’ and the invisible class — including day laborers and those who languish on unemployment that washes them into the fast growing river of workers struggling to make ends meet with barely crumbs.

Does the American ruling class consist of middle class workers? Are not all workers struggling the same? It appears that instead of seeking to embrace all workers, the traditional labor unions have made the strategic decision to “grow” their dwindling movement only among those that fit their aged and concrete-clad vision.  All workers share the same basic struggles.  As traditional unions beg and work hard to gain support in their struggles to defend collective bargaining rights, where are these unions to defend the millions of workers who don’t work for the most hated retail chain in America?

And also, when will the American “middle class” realize that their never-ending thirst for cheap goods, cheap services and ‘lower prices’ comes at the price of people’s livelihood and standard of living?  Is it necessary to have a Wal-Mart in every town in America? Or a K-Mart? Or a Home Depot?  Has the spread of the corporate conglomerate retail market led to better wages and increased living conditions, or has it created a silent, suppressed, isolated and ever-growing sub-class? While there is much to applaud in the efforts of the Wal-Mart workers those smaller unions that have come out in support of them and other workers, the focus needs to widen to all workers.  The time has come for realization that, as the I.W.W. adage coined nearly a century ago, an injury to one is an injury to all— all workers must come together, ready to represent themselves at the table of labor in solidarity with all labor as One Big Union, united in the fight against the scourge of corporate global capitalism.

From artist Mike Flugennak: http://sinkers.org/stage/

Unfortunately the labor unions presently making up less 12% of the population naturally, have continued their isolation from many workers.  Workers in low wage jobs that larger unions have decided long ago not to organize have suffer from the  lack of union representation.  Exploitation of low wage workers has increased as the economic depression increases the labor pool and emboldens employers.  Some union organizers claim that the old ways of organizing do not work as jobs in lower wage fields tend to have a large turn-over, tend to offer little incentive for workers to remain and thus such a fluid membership base leads to instability and inability to organize long term.

This is disputable when one considers that the largest proportion of the workforce with the most direct exposure to the public is the low wage worker, whether in service jobs, healthcare or retail.  They provide the opportunity to larger trade unions to increase support for and understanding of the struggle to keep legal protected rights such as collective bargaining and (although diminishing and very limited today), the right to strike.  In exchange, formerly neglected workers should justly expect some support for their cause, where such has been historically lacking.

Diminished representation has weakened support for the union movement nationally.  As workers feel further and further distant from what many perceive as weak, disaffected or out of touch union representation, frustration within the ranks increases. Many members complain bitterly of lack of rank and file participation in meetings, apathy among members and even many members who enjoy the benefits of their union job while supporting exactly the opposite in political ideology and public policy, hypocritically assisting those who wish to undo the union and keep more workers out while benefiting from union members themselves. Ironically, union leadership and members do nothing to stop this inside sabotage while more and more workers linger on the outside looking in, unable to find a slot in increasingly unavailable union work.

Also membership reduces as well as the cost of carrying a card and paying dues while unemployed becomes prohibitive.  Unions have shrunk not only due to assaults on worker’s rights to organize and act for their betterment, but also due to attrition as a result of the dwindling union protection. Started by Ronald Reagan, the Republican and ‘New Democrats’ have unraveled protection for worker expression with only barely audible squeaks from union leadership. Sold down the river on the idea that some kind of gentleman’s agreement exists between labor and big business that they must continue to protect, big labor unions have chosen to bargain with the devil than to reach back and lend a hand to their brother and sister workers who could offer strength in their effort to finally resist big business’ assaults on labor.

The labor movement cannot survive in its current state. Dwindling membership rates and even more diminished actual power when one considers participation rates and support in current unions, has a ripple effect on all workers everywhere.  As John O’Reilly points out here, the larger unions smirk and snub workers they consider beneath them at their peril.  Only with all workers united together to fight the nihilistic and dehumanizing forces of corporate capitalism will workers succeed and together bring the living standards of all workers to enable peaceful, dignified existence.

John O’Reilly on how the labor movement talks about itself and how he interprets it as a member and organizer of the IWW.

I’ve been thinking recently about the way that the labor movement sees itself and talks about itself. Labor movement activists often talk about labor as a kind of community, a place where individuals can reach across differences and speak to each other based on a shared connection to their unions and unionism more generally. There are big, well-funded internal publications that the large unions produce which help move this discourse. But there are also independent voices which participate in this discourse. I can think of Labor Notes as an example that I’m most familiar with.

Labor Notes and magazines, blogs, or other publications like it have this particular way of speaking about the labor movement and the changes that it needs to implement that I’ve always had a lot of trouble connecting with. I like Labor Notes, I think its a useful piece that praises rank-and-file struggles and shows how the bosses and the business unions are strong and powerful but also have weaknesses. It’s the kind of publication that shows that working people can have independent publications that highlight our stories of success and explain why and when we fail with a good analysis (usually).

But I’ve always had trouble connecting with the language that LN and similar publications use to talk about the labor movement. There’s a positioning of “inside and against” that I’ve always been unable to connect with. The discourse often goes “we are the labor movement, we need to do better, we need to get better leadership and democratize our unions, we need to organize the unorganized.” I like all the reclaiming of the labor movement narrative, that’s a great step I think. Saying that “we,” being rank-and-file workers, are the labor movement and that unions are not just the union leaders, is really important. But to me as an IWW organizer, I’ve never felt part of some community of labor.

Mediation for Activists, Organizers and Service Providers Working to Change the World

As we do this work, with a vision in our heads of what shall be, of what we hope for, we must always remember to stop and take some quiet time for ourselves, to nurture ourselves.  Because if we do not nurture ourselves and to regenerate our energy, we will burn out.  If we don’t remember that the primary focus of our work, deep within us is the belief in the potential of humanity to live as one with the earth, in harmony.  We must also work to seek harmony within ourselves.

Take some time, just five minutes, relax and remember the struggle of our forebears and how our struggle will build the legacy that others will forge on with and carry after we are gone from this earth.

From Fairyfarmgirl Digest:

Interconnectedness: Positive Humanity United and Connecting with each other

Interconnectedness:  Positive Humanity United Connecting

OCTOBER 21, 2012:  A Day of Living Meditation of LOVE and Envisioning the NEW EARTH

We are all on the Same Side of Polarity.  We are Positive:  Love.  This is the time for all of Positive Humanity to come together in Unity– in  a state of Interconnectedness.

As you seek to seperate yourself based on what you percieve as a better way to meditate, dietary dictates and other Belief Systems, take a breathe and consider this:  We are all on the same side– LOVE.  We all have chosen  to be on the side of Positive Humanity.  We actively choose to act kindly toward our brothers and sisters– toward all that is around us.

It is time for Positive Humanity to Unite and Connect with each other, physically and/or transpersonally, and/or via online communities, and/or in spirit through meditation, and/or other means of connection.

This is the time to make the choice to work with others that may be different in their expression of physicality and habits from you– AND, yet, they have CHOSEN LOVE.  Love More and Expect Miracles.

Have any of you decided not to work with the Dolphin Nation because they eat fish and crustaceans and sometimes smaller whales and other dolphins?

Most of you would say that is a ridiculous statement!  “Why would I do that?”    You ask us, and aloud to the universe.

“Why would you do that?”  Fairy Asks you.

Why would you do that?  Fairy asks you as you judge other lightworkers, and concerned Positive Human Beings of Earth for their different habits, choices, enculturated ideas and beliefs and morals.

This is what has kept the LIGHTWORKERS throughout Earth from uniting.  Arguing over another’s merit to be a Positive Human Being on the Side of LOVE because they do not make the same diet choices or have the same habits as you.  This is simply inneffective for the cause of Planetary Ascension.

WE MUST WORK TOGTHER

It is time to dig out the Compassionate Communication Skills and dust them off.  It is time to act diplomatically toward others.

It is TIME for Positive Humanity to Unite and work together for the Side of LOVE.  It is simply TIME.  This is the message that I, Fairy Farm Girl, bring to you from the Beautiful Many

The Beautiful Many are made up of  The Galactics, Angelics, Concerned Elder Healers of the Star Nations, the Star Beings, and the Sirian, Pleiadian and Arcturians, the Fairy Realm, and Mother Earth-Gaia– this is why Elizabeth calls them the Beautiful Many.

We are all siblings.  We are a Family of many different Beings.  As a family, we must work together and see that the whole is the Family United for the Care and Concern of our Planetary Body as well as the Body of Humanity.

We repeat again, We Must Work Together.

Begin today.  Forgive those who you see as wayward Lightworkers.  Accept that others can be different from you and still be a Lightworker, on the same side of Love as you are.

It is time to begin Living your meditation as a life-way.  Envision the New Earth and see yourself as in a state of interconnection with all your Sisters and Brothers of Positive Humanity.

This is part of the essential process of integrating our shadow.  The collective Lightworker Shadow is to oppose that which is not in harmony with your “belief system” about what you think it means to be on the Side of Love.  This is the Dogma of the Human Lightworkers.  The Dogma is the same as the Dogma practiced by human created religions.  The Dogma is:  My way is the Only Way.  This is simply a falsehood.  There are many ways to express Love.  Love seeks only that which is Love.  Love Expands Love.  Judgement expands Fear.  Judge not and Fear Not.  Love More and Expect Miracles.

Expanding Awareness is an ongoing process of Personal Work.  Ascension is a Process of Expanding Awareness.  We must Expand our Awareness to Ascend.

Opposition strengthens the Dark.  It empowers it powerfully to continue business as usual.  Admitedly, their time is coming to a close in a slow way that at this time could take years and years.  Consider this, as you argue with your Lightworking Neighbor, you are putting the Dark Cabal on life support and feeding it.  You keep it alive by your outrage at what “that lighworker” over there is doing.

Some things that are said amongst you is:

Yoga is the only way to Ascension

Raw Veganism is the Only way to Ascension

Eating meat will keep you from Ascension.

Zen Meditation is the Only Way to Ascension.

We could go on, on and on and on and on with this list.  We trust you have are coming into alignment with understanding a new truth to you– but it is really an Ancient true truth:

Differentness is part of the uniqueness of each of you.  Interconnection contains the unique distinctness of each of you and at the same time you are part of the whole.

Take for instance, the example of  a vast and infinite ceiling… it is made up of many ceiling tiles– all individual, distinct, with uniqueness, and yet it is still interconnected and part of the whole:  the Ceiling.  We are all in this together.  We must work together.  We must all connect. Thus, it is Time for Interconnectedness:  Positive Humanity United and Connecting with each other.

It is time to come together as a field of Living Love and envision the New Earth.  Lady Isis has shown the way– as many others have as well.  The message is clear– Envision it, speak it, and Love it into Being.  The Time is Now.  You are here Now to co-create the New Earth.

The New Earth looks different to each of you… the New Earth you may envision will have different environments from another who is envisioning the New Earth.  These are details that create bio-diversity.  Diversity is a strength.

The Unifying Field is LOVE.  Love is what is expressed as each of you envision the NEW EARTH.  The New Earth is full of Life, green, with clean air, water, and energy.  Everyone works diligently to be in harmony with each other.

Loving More is the guiding principle.  This is what the NEW EARTH is about.  It is the Envisioning of Love in Action as a Planetary Body which Humanity resides upon in a coherent state of actively c0-creating Peace.

Peace takes work.  It takes the work of Compassionate Communication.  It takes strength to cultivate peace, to allow another an expression that may be different from your own.

We bless you with Love.  Light Flows to Light.  Light expands Light.  All that is Light is filled with Love.  –Fairy Farm Girl and The Beautiful Many

Angel Messages

Isis’ Message of the Day –

Picture if you will in your minds the most  perfect and unimaginably beautiful place to live that you possibly can, and  picture yourselves living in this new breathtaking wonderland and picture your  friends and your family and animals and birds and trees and lakes and rivers and  a sparkling clean ocean that you can swim in, that you can sail on, and picture  all these things coming to you now. This is what we wish for you to do today  dear ones, for we wish for more of you to begin to consciously create your new  surroundings, for soon you will see these walls being built around you, so to  speak.

Soon, construction of your new world  will be made known to you. You will see what it is you have been building  through your thoughts and your dreams and your hopes and your inspiration.  Whatever it is that drives you, whatever it is that motivates you will be yours.  This is how it is all unfolding for you, and we wish to see more of you taking  part in your new Earth’s construction. We see many of you posting beautiful  photographs and we say to you this is a very good way to start, but we wish for  more of you to do even more. We wish for more of you to take the reins, as you  say, and begin to airbrush your world around you. To do this, you simply imagine  in your mind just what it is you wish for yourselves and this includes what it  is you wish to do for a career, what it is you will do for hobbies and fun, and  what it is you will do for pleasures and excitement and also what it is that you  do for others.

Yes. This is a very important and  necessary component to your new world, what it is you do in service to others,  for this is the foundation. These are the roots of the tree of your new home.  You are going to all learn how to be of service to others on a full-time basis.  You are going to learn the importance of selfless service to individuals who are  not you and who are not your family and who are, in many cases, not your friends  or even your next-door neighbors. You are going to learn to grace other people’s  lives, people you may know as strangers, people you may see walking on the  street or shopping at the market. People who you do not know, but you do know  somehow, someway, for they are your planet mates, they are your brothers and  sisters even if you do not know them by name.
