1. Seeing the darker skin at Naomi Campbell’s joints is the reason for this post.

2. Here Naomi Campbell communicates some feeling / atmosphere / affect that fabulous and fierce Naomi Campbell is not usually invited to communicate.

3. This is skin usually evened out for…

This is not the type of thing I usually reblog, but #5 made me want to throw-up and cry at the same time.

She had to hide the sadness of her heart. Only when she was alone did she drop the curtain and shed lonely tears.
— Nizami
When we become conscious of our Oneness with Universal Good, beliefs in evil, sin, sickness, limitation, and death tend to disappear. We shall no longer “ask amiss,” supplicating as though God were not willing, begging as though He were withholding. “If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you.” This gives great light on an important law governing the answering of prayer. Abiding in Him, means having no consciousness separate from His consciousness—nothing in our thought which denies the power and presence of Spirit. Yes, we can readily see why prayers are answered when we are abiding in Him.

Super Moon
— June 23, 2013

Be sure to look out for the Moon these next few months as it approaches Perigee, because the full moons during these times will appear exceptionally large. The Moon will be at its Perigee, or closest approach, in July 23 and it will reach full moon only a few minutes after it passes this point in its orbit.

These ‘super moons’ not only appear larger because they are physically closer but, combined with a full moon, the mind can play tricks on you to think they are much larger. This phenomena is called the Moon Illusion. Try to catch these full moons as they rise/set because the illusion works when there is an object in the foreground, like a tree, building or mountains.

Stargazing Events for 2013

lots of space from Earth things today :D

One cycle from today.

Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them.

“The night they drove old Dixie down,” The Band

Damn it, this song is so good yet so problematic.

Can’t tell if it’s more or less problematic when you consider it was written by a Native Canadian.

You know what’s weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon…everything’s different.

…[some] may not remember what made Iran-Contra such an extraordinary scandal. The Reagan administration “raised money privately” by selling weapons to a sworn enemy of the United States. Why? Because it wanted to fund an illegal war in Nicaragua. And when I say “illegal war,” I mean that quite literally—Congress told the Reagan administration, in no uncertain terms, that Reagan could not send money to the Contras. Period. The Reagan administration, unrestrained by laws and the Constitution, did so anyway, and much of the president’s national security team ended up under indictment.

more.

Reagan knew everything. However, I bet this Time magazine piece doesn’t get into the juiciest part of Iran-Contra, which is that in the 1980s the CIA put into operation a crack cocaine pipeline to import narcotics from Central and South America and distribute it in US inner cities. This is not a “conspiracy theory”, this is a documented conspiracy, most rigorously researched and reported by Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Gary Webb, whose series in the San Jose Mercury News and subsequent book “Dark Alliance” literally got him killed. To me, that’s the story of Iran-Contra: not that Reagan sold weapons to Iran, but that the US government imported and sold crack to Black America, as part of an arms and drugs trade which funded war in the Third World and which devastated lives and filled prisons in the USA.

American Drug War: The Last White Hope (Youtube)
Great documentary that connects it all.
You are living under a war. Not just the war on “terror”, but the war on drugs. And if you don’t understand what that means, you’re missing a very large piece of the big picture (the big picture being reality).


Further evidence of Reagan’s greatness and how he was undermined by a meddling, democratic congress, determined to keep him on their liberal leash. The man should have been a made a king and by now it would be the United Wold of America, on nation, under Ron, with liberty and fraternity for all of God’s beautiful, white, children.
