The endless and brief moment when ocean greets shore, when darkness welcomes dawn, when air levies earth, when inspiration becomes expiration... when dreams whisper to awakening..when life eases into death. A space where time is not as we know it to be; a time rich in mystery & magic.

There are many real concerns regarding "Blackwater private Army"! The current administration, has been able over the last 7 years to re-concentrate American wealth...that is they take from the average American worker a certain amount of taxed income and re-allocate this money to corporations and firms like Halliburton & Blackwater--via no bid contracts...privatization schemes and they do it with our consent....that's right...they take our money and give it to the wealthiest---most corrupt--filth, with our blessing...it is time to wake up from our slumber...it is time to open our eyes and see...... shall i brew some coffee?

"Body of War is an intimate and transformational feature documentary about the true face of war today. Meet Tomas Young, 25 years old, paralyzed from a bullet to his spine — wounded after serving in Iraq for less than a week. Body of War is his coming home story as he evolves into a new person, dealing with his disability and finding his own unique and passionate voice against the war. The film is produced and directed by Phil Donahue and Ellen Spiro; Karen Bernstein is co-producer; and Bernadine Colish serves as editor.
The film features two original songs by Eddie Vedder. Body of War is a nakedly honest portrayal of what it’s like inside the body, heart and soul of this extraordinary and heroic young man. "

Ms. Wolf speaks about her new book: The End of America: A Letter of Warning To A Young Patriot.
She discusses 10 steps historically invoked by dictators to shut down open societies...to manipulate the minds of its people.....
Frighteningly interesting, Americans just need to look at the current state of affairs to discover---this very truth. This week alone, America was witness to the tazering of a university student for asking questions, . The denial of Habeas Corpus, "US Senate Fails To Reinstate Habeas Corpus" and the killing of innocent people in Iraq by Blackwater independent military.

In sincere gratitude to Professor Skolimowski for transcribing the voice of the cosmos into words... into thoughts...... into actions........
The Drum of the Cosmos
The drum of the Cosmos is beating
Your destiny, do you hear it?
Often I am mute to the call of my destiny.
But when I finally hear it
I become feverish.
The light out there blinds me
In the state of daze
I see a vision beyond the human reason.
My restless soul then hauntingly asks me:
Why am I so slack, and so moronic?
Why don´t I join the ranks of Buddhas?
My agony is endless for I know
That I am a Buddha already.
Why don´t I have the courage
To assert my real true self?
Why this ambivalence toward my greatness?
Is it a false modesty?
Or a crack in my deeper substance?
Why are we so reluctant to reveal our deepest selves?
Why are we so eager to exhibit our lesser aspects?
The god within cannot be hidden forever.
It wants to reveal its true shinning form.
The drum of the cosmos is beating
Your destiny.
Do you hear it?

On October 17, 2006, he went missing without a trace. Last seen in Washington, D.C., his current whereabouts are unknown. Where is he? We don't know.
But we do know Habeas Corpus needs our help. What can you do?
Get involved @ http://findhabeas.com and help us restore Habeas Corpus to his rightful place in our Constitution!
This week, the Senate will vote on whether or not to restore habeas corpus -- the fundamental constitutional right that allows citizens to challenge the lawfulness of their imprisonment.
President Bush currently has the power to declare anyone, including U.S. citizens, "enemy combatants" and throw them in jail indefinitely without any explanation for their imprisonment. (ActForChange)
The Republican-controlled Congress passed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA), which suspended the right of habeas corpus for the first time since the Civil War.
This July 2007, the Senate was expected to vote to restore habeas corpus with an amendment (S. 185) to the Department of Defense authorization bill. This vote was postponed due to a dispute over funding the war in Iraq. But on Monday, September 18th, the Senate again is scheduled to resume debate and vote on whether to restore our habeas corpus to the United States Constitution.
