Ed McGaa has passed over to the other side.  May he be at peace.

And let’s set the record straight once again:  MARIE ANTOINETTE DID NOT SAY THOSE DEPLORABLE WORDS!!
She was deliberately smeared by French snobs who could not relate to the poor.

They wanted to deflect attention to their own gluttony at the expense of the working poor.
The words “let them eat cake” were uttered by a court hangers-on who apparently ignored their own privileged position that sucked off the teat of the common folk. Unreal.

Louise Linton hashtagged her designer apparel as she departed a UNITED STATES TAXPAYER PAID 747 (or whatever the full size plane is)…and then had the gall to throw her privilege into the face of an American citizen who called her out on her “let them eat cake” moment. Incidentally, I tried to find the original post by Betsy Klein that had the original twitter by Louise Linton with the designer clothes labeled on the picture as she departed the plane.

Not only that, but the trip was not even about official U.S. government, but about seeing the eclipse!!!

watchdog group suspects Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin ‘s trip to see the government gold in Fort Knox on the taxpayers’ dime with his wife, Louise Linton, was actually spurred by a desire to be in the prime viewing area for Monday’s total solar eclipse.
It was Linton’s rant on Instagram against a woman critical of her bragging about pricey designer clothes she wore on the trip that drew the suspicions of that watchdog, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

---

During that visit, the former Goldman Sachs (GS) partner Mnuchin, Linton and a group of other civilians that included Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , R-Ky., visited the gold depository and watched the solar eclipse.

And in my own dealing with poverty and those who look at me like I am a scab on the face of humanity.

I have been on the interstate traveling with my car full of my things.

You would not believe how the poor are treated…but here are a few examples:

I was stared at by the young and the old.  There was a car full of the younger folks who were LAUGHING at me and my car full of what I hold near and dear.  I now wonder if they took a selfie of my furnishings-on-wheels and posted on their fartbook page…having a laugh at this poor person’s predicament.

“Look at this car!  Haha!”

Not only that, I had briefly come back to Indiana and then went back to South Dakota.  I was stopped by a police officer in Woodhull Illinois.  It was dark, late night, and I had stopped at the very same gas station I had stopped in on my first journey out to South Dakota.

I had not broken any laws.  I had not been drinking (they have been trying to say that I am a drunk or have a problem with booze — just for the record, I have not had a drink since February 2015.  Normally, I would have a drink on New Year’s and perhaps one other time during the year.  I cannot afford to hurt my liver, so I don’t drink. )

But this officer pulled me over simply because my car was packed full of my crap.  His first comment was that I could not possibly see out of the car.  Nope.  It was apparently lost on him that I HAD TO HAVE SEEN HIS LIGHTS in my mirrors in order to pull over.

I did not ask him the question I have told you guys that you should — what was I being charged with?  If they cannot answer that, you do not have to give your information over to them and they do not have the right to search your car.  This is based on the 4th Amendment.

But when you’re poor, cannot afford an attorney, you go along to get along.  So I gave him my license when he asked for it.  It was only afterwards that he stated I have expired license plates.   I pointed to the temporary sticker in my window that showed I had tried to renew the license plates in South Dakota, but they would only give me a temporary plate because I did not have my title, as it was in Indiana.  He ignored that and gave me a lecture on getting my plates renewed.

He pulled me over for “driving while poor…”  Blacks know it as “driving while black…” because they too get pulled over for no reason at all.  I recall a black judge who talked to us in one of my college classes.  He was pulled over all the time for DWB even though he was not breaking any laws.

Meanwhile, I’m listening to the TV and the Defense department wanting more money, more money, more money.  They already get 40 percent of the budget while school funding and food stamps are cut….

Say no to the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned us about…killing people for profit, destroying the earth with chemicals used in bombs are sins.

I met some wonderful people in a place that you would not expect it.  I had no less than four people talk to me about spirituality this week.  I had been praying to find others like me and my prayers were answered.  I am still somewhat stunned by people talking to me like they had known me for years about such deep spirituality.  And they were all white…another stunner because I’ve tried talking to other white folks about my deepening spirituality but have been met with misunderstanding…so I quit talking about it.  Then God shows me that there are others like me whom have followed their hearts and paths and God’s guidance to arrive at new and deepening understanding.

God Bless us All.  🙂

Preaching to the choir…living through it is the toughest.

Story here.

I am only beginning to unwrap all the racist, self-righteousness that I learned growing up as a white girl.  What was done to the American Indian were deliberate acts of destruction of culture, of family, of spirituality.

And what white folks don’t understand is this:  your families and your spirituality are being destroyed now through subtle means…

…taking children “away” through schools that are not teaching children cooperation, but an unhealthy competitiveness to lie, cheat, and steal to “win” the good grades.  This teaches children unethical behavior to get what you need, screw everybody else.

…feeding your children an unhealthy breakfast that robs the parent of time with their child, as well.

I hear of schools now implementing plans to teach children what parents should be teaching them.

White folks need to heed what was done to the American Indian, to Black folks, and the poor…

…where there once was a river that had to been wide and deep but now a stream barely deep enough to wade in…I imagine her as she was in full life — plenty of fish to feed families, frogs hopping in the water the minute the little ones approach, dogs lapping up the water, cattails standing erect.  It is so rare that I even see cattails anymore that they feel like nostalgia to me.  Eerie.

Algae is forming..death is at the door because algae takes the oxygen from the water…

…and yet, the dragonflies and butterflies and waterwalkers tell me that all hope is not lost — that there is time for Mother Earth to heal if we stop destroying her and the life giving water that flows through her…

Mni Wiconi! (mini which oh nee)

Water is Life!

I have often stated that I thought that the toxins in our bodies were interfering with our connection to God.

I have read in different places about fluoride being bad for us, but no one explained it as well as this site.

Regarding Fluoride
After generations of misleading propaganda about the benefits of water fluoridation, the truth is finally emerging. Dr. William Hirzy, former EPA risk assessment scientist, explains water fluoridation remains a government policy because of “institutional inertia [and] embarrassment among government agencies that have been promoting this stuff as safe.” Science clearly demonstrates that fluoride is a toxic chemical that accumulates in your tissues over time, wreaks havoc with enzymes, and produces a number of serious adverse health effects, including neurological and endocrine dysfunction. Children are particularly at risk.
Although almost every other nation except Australia, has recognized Fluoride as a health disaster and eliminated use of it, the US continues to fluoridate almost all of its water. Fortunately, with more public awareness there has been some local victories against fluoridation.
Most of the fluoride is accumulated in the pineal gland because it is the 2nd highest organ that receives blood-flow in the body. In addition to drinking, we absorb it by showering in it. Its half-life is over 20 years and can cause massive brain damage to unborn fetuses, and it gradually impairs IQ and other problems such as depressing cell growth rate.
The first intentional addition of fluoride in drinking water occurred in the early 1930′s in Nazi Germany for the purpose of sterilizing humans and forcing the masses into a calm docile state of submission and declining health-state. Marketing it as a benefit to children’s teeth, the sodium fluoride allowed for more easy control of the population.
Research chemist Charles Perkins was sent by the U.S. government to ascertain the truth on water fluoridation and found: “The German chemists worked out a very ingenious and far-reaching plan of mass control that was submitted to and adopted by the German General Staff. This plan was to control the population of any given area through mass medication of drinking water supplies… In this scheme of mass control, ‘sodium fluoride’ occupied a prominent place… However, and I want to make this very definite, the real reason behind water fluoridation is not to benefit children’s teeth… The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to domination and control and loss of liberty… Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluorine will in time gradually reduce the individual’s power to resist domination by slowly poisoning and narco-tizing this area of the brain tissue, and make him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him… I was told of this entire scheme by a German chemist who was an official of the great Farben chemical industries and was prominent in the Nazi movement at the time… I say this with all the earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spend nearly 20 years researching in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, and pathology of fluorine… Any person who drinks artificially fluoridated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person, mentally or physically.”

If you haven’t read World Without Cancer, this would be a good time to read it.  It corroborates the assertions that our health began declining after WWII, and it was a deliberate act.

And if you have any doubts that satan is behind all of this evil, I hope that you now realize what has been happening.  The pineal gland is a connection to God, and only those feeding the Dark Side would want to stop people from connecting to God.

You of a certain age may remember Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where people were drawn to an incredible stone formation…but they didn’t know why…

The stone formation in the movie was real — Bear Lodge or Bear Tower…which was named Devils Tower by white men.  They claimed the Native folk named it that, but that could not have been because it is a sacred place.  The Native folk have tried to get the name changed, but were voted down.

This is a sacred place for them.  They have had so much taken from them, and all they request is to have a month of no climbers on the rock.  June is a particularly religious month for them, where they have ceremonies at sacred places.

I was sad to read this.  Frank Sanders can be a generous person, but I strongly disagree with his stance here.  He runs a bed and breakfast that makes a profit off of people coming to climb the sacred stone.  As other posters have stated, I am glad that Sanders is sober…but to say that the stone heals him, therefore, he will climb it no matter of others’ feelings is just wrong.

Bear Tower is a healing place.

People who are unaware of that can be disruptive to those seeking a connection to God and all of God’s creation.  Serenity is a hard commodity to come by in this world as it is now and I cannot think of anything we need more desperately now than a connection to the Creator.

And it’s not just Bear Tower/Lodge, but Bear Butte, too, which is also a sacred place.  You might recall I wrote about it when a saloon owner decided to move within a few miles of it, despite Native folk asking them not to.  The owner ignored their pleas.  And the native folk say prayers and tie tobacco cloths to trees all over the mountain.  There are signs requesting that people speak in quiet voices and not disturb the prayer cloths nor bother people who are praying on the mountain.

Nearly every time that I was there, there were people, usually white, who ignored these simple requests.  They talked loudly, even shouting, while people were there praying.  I was meditating there one day and was stared at by a girl that was so bothersome I had to stop my meditation.  I have had a headband I left there stolen.

If Native folk were to go into churches, taking sacred items or walking around talking loudly while people were trying to pray, there would be such a furor raised.

All they ask is for the same respect that people demand in churches.

I’m able to listen to the insanity on TV again…you know, sometimes silence is a gift…

So as I am listening of the “opioid epidemic” discussion on the nooz  and again wondering why they are suddenly discovering this when it has been KNOWN for sometime…and I can’t dismiss that Big Pharma owns the nooz, so how are they benefiting from this? What is the hidden agenda?

As I am listening to this and the nooz reports do not address the natural methods of pain relief…one of which I have talked about — coffee enemas.  These non-narcotic enemas relieve pain. They help the liver in detox, aiding the body to rid itself of the toxins were are exposed to every day.  It is really criminal for physicians to write prescriptions for these addictive drugs that actually poison the system and not telling people about coffee enemas.  But then they wouldn’t be helping put billions of dollars into Big Pharma’s pockets…

Does anyone believe the story that Merck Manual, which is a reference for physicians, removed coffee enemas from their guide because there wasn’t enough room? Me neither.

For those who are new, a coffee enema is a tablespoon of organic coffee in a quart of filtered water.  Boil for five minutes.  Allow to cool so you won’t burn yourself.  Place in enema bag.  Use soap or natural oil to lubricate the tip.  Try to hold it for fifteen minutes, but don’t try to hold it in when you get the urge to go.  At first, you may only be able to hold it for five minutes, depending on how toxic you are.

Be sure to eat raw fruits and vegetables to replace minerals and electrolytes.

Be well, my friends.
