Paradigm Shift for the Common Man

It Has Begun!

2012-01-25T10:16:00.001-08:00

Hello,everyone!

Thisis kind of an unusual post, but I need to briefly discuss a recently emergingphenomenon. It began in 2011, but thismonth, the first month of 2012, it seems to have come into prominence in someof the alternative media outlets. Thephenomenon I am addressing here is the “Strange Sounds from the Sky” phenomenon. In a word, what a scam! What a deception! I have listened to quite a few of these “noises”from the sky. I wonder how the frequencyresponse of the noises on the video exceed the frequency response of themicrophone on the recording device. Iwonder why, in January of 2012, this is coming into prominence. I will tell you why, and it is infuriatingme.

Thereare some people out there that would rather profit on all of the supposedevents that are scheduled (or “prophesied”) to happen during this year. They want to make money, essentially, on theend of the world. And this, my friends,this is exactly what I meant when I discussed and explained the “self-fulfillingprophecy.” Yes, the year has hardlybegun, and we are already seeing the greedy, superficial, selfish opportuniststaking the reins of the 2012 mythology just to make a buck. And in doing so, they are setting up thosewho are still sleeping, or barely awake, and those who have awakened and areeager to learn the truth – they are setting these people up for panic, fear,and a veritable “end” to society as we know it. Do they realize at all the lethality of the fire they are playingwith? Obviously, I don’t think so.

Myprediction, or, if you want to call it a prophecy, is coming true. We are scheduling our own demise throughignorance, greed and opportunity to profit from the plight of the innocent. It and events disgusts me. I cannot begin to describe how much I loathethis type of behavior.

So,my friends, this my warning, and my advice:

1) Takenothing, and I mean nothing that you read for granted. Investigate and question everything. Know what the score is.

2) Research,research, research. Get your factstogether before you endorse anything or anyone. Some people can become opportunists at the mere scent of money orprofit, and I might as well add “power.”

3) Payattention to the world around you. As Isaid in an earlier post – watch and listen to news, people, and events fromboth sides of the fence.

4) Helpthose who are less aware than you are. Idon’t have to tell you how to spot them. They are in the obvious majority. You might save them from being hoodwinked into fear and panic.

5) Beon guard, and don’t let your guard down. Evil can be enticing and erotic, irresistible unless you can spot it amile away. And, don’t get any closerthan that, my friends.

Theseare just 5 of the total number of rules and regulations you should set foryourselves. You will have no problemthinking of more, and I encourage you to do so. By following this advice, you will most definitely aid in the effort toprevent the “self-fulfilling prophecy.” Youwill help save humanity from itself. That seems to be, to me, the worst way to go – destroying the worldourselves, and at the same time, being unaware of what we are doing. I’m shaking in my shoes…

The Powers That Be

2012-01-07T14:03:00.000-08:00

Just a little something to entertain... (and maybe inspire you...)

(Part 1)

The powers that be

Are looking at me

Peering with their long-distance eyes

Watching what I do from deep space

Watching from sunset to sunrise

The powers that be

Listen to me

No matter where I am

They listen to me

Through mountain and trees

Sending microwave signals

Knocking me to my knees

Putting thoughts in my head

Like I ought to be dead

Transmitting with relative ease.

Powers that be, can you see inside me?

Can you read what I’m thinking right now?

You spike my water with LSD

Do nasty things that make me pee

I could be in a restaurant

I could be in a store

I wet myself before I hit the door

People around me think I lost my mind

I’m given no rest

I can never unwind

I have implants

Inside of my head

The circuitry is always read

The Bureau it knows

When I come and go

They threaten I’ll soon be dead.

(Part 2)

There’s a farm of antennas across the town

They hear up the air

Turn it upside down

They can paint a picture across the skies

They fill our heads with horrible lies

They can burn us up

Drown us, too

They can do anything they want to do

They care not about me

They care not about you

They tell us there’s nothing we can do

But, they’re wrong.

The powers that be

Think they really know me

That I am completely under their control

I use this guise

To fool their eyes

I’m a whistle Blower, y’know!

(Part 3)

Powers that be,

Better watch your back

Thousands are awakened each day

We are spreading the truth

We are tightening the noose

We are planning to blow you away

The rules and the laws that you constantly change

And the Constitution that you’ve rearranged

And our Bill of Rights that you’ve flushed away

Will all be restored, and we’ll make you pay.

The word we’re all spreading is “Revolution!”

And brother, you know it’s the final solution

We all have our guns and ammunition

And we are ready to remedy our condition

Lining up across the nation

“Revolt and Reclaim!” is the latest sensation

We’re ready to remove this aberration

“Death to the powers that be” our mission

(Part 4)

Soon, we will celebrate our success

And my brothers and sisters, I must confess

It’s nice to be free

Come join hands with me

Our country we must redress

We will celebrate this day

A new independence

As we prepare for our descendants

A better world in which to thrive

To live to the fullest, not just to survive

A beautiful world so full of life

No one at all living in strife

No fear of the gun

No fear of the knife

They can sleep in their beds and dream away

For we have secured them a brand new day

And a long, and lovely tomorrow.

Thanks for reading!

So, Here We Are; 2012

2012-01-04T08:31:00.000-08:00

So, here we are embarking upon a new year. Not just any year, but the year – 2012. So much has been written over the last 25 or so years since the significance of 2012 was pulled out of obscurity and laid, with a myriad of interpretations, clearly in the light of awareness. And it might be “gloom and doom,” or it might just be hard fact. I doubt, however, the latter. Even though I do not buy the negative, destructive predictions in their entirety, I do see trends in the news that could bring to fruition some or all of the terrible predictions made by the astute Mayans centuries ago.

We are a fragile species. Fragile because we think we are invincible, intelligent, and because we think we have an answer and solution for everything and every problem. From business, to science, to war; the elite, or The Powers that Be (TPTB), feel they have it all figured out, and they know exactly how to handle the 99%, as we are referred to. And we, the 99%, think we are ready to tackle TPTB as they progress into their “endgame.” Be careful, now. These days, disinformation and hype come from every direction, and I mean all 360 degrees of direction. In an earlier post, I talked about “the self-fulfilling prophecy.” Along with some other points of contention, I want to take that concept, and others related to it, a few steps forward. In the end, the conclusion I wish to reach, and convince you of, is to not take anything for granted. Don’t assume – you know the old saying (for those who do not, it goes like this: Never assume anything. For when you assume, you make an “ass” out of “U” and “Me.”). Next, ask questions. Remember, the only dumb question is the one not asked. Be inquisitive. Don’t take anybody’s word. Keep your eyes open – keep one eye on the alternative press, where you are likely to receive the truth in the news, and keep the other eye on the mainstream media, wherein lies the deception, cover-ups, and falsehoods. There are rotten apples on both sides of the reporting fence, however, so be wary. There are only a handful of people I would trust unconditionally when they share their opinions. Likewise, there are a handful of sites I endorse for truthful news and reporting.

Another task we, the awakened ones (?), must undertake: To keep watch on those who are just coming out of their imposed coma, and for those who are looking for some kind of direction – those who crave to be led – I refuse to use the word sheeple, or refer to them as lemmings heading for the edge of the cliff. All they need is information. All they want is to be understood, and to understand. Our job is to educate. Our job is to spread truth, and to encourage our brothers and sisters to take note. We should always welcome our newly awakened brothers and sisters with open arms, unconditional acceptance, and unconditional love, and patience as well. This is a difficult task, and you will soon find it is harder than you think. But persevere. You will eventually see progress.

Additionally, we need to take care of #1. We need to make sure we are getting what we need: the right information, maintaining our grasp of the truth, and believe me, from experience; you need to take care of your physical and mental needs. Stay in shape. Take your vitamins (for example, Vitamin D3 and a potent silver solution will help ward off infection by strengthening our immune systems). Mentally, take holidays away from all of this stuff. Constantly bathing yourself in all of this information can have devastating effects on our mental functioning. We can become terribly depressed; we can develop a powerful paranoia. In some individuals, this combination is the recipe for having to take medication, and I promise you that you will find a ton of information out there which tells us all of the side effects of these medications – believe me, if you can avoid medication, please opt for that. However, some individuals will, unfortunately, require medication. I am not ashamed to admit I am on medication. I did not follow my own advice. I delved too deeply in all of this conspiracy and deception, and, being prone to depression anyway, I fell victim to a serious period of depression which almost ended me. This is no joke, it is important advice.

Also, remember you have a family. You have parents and brothers and sisters. You have wives and husbands, and significant others. You have cousins, aunts and uncles. In other words, you have a life! Please remember this. Don’t lose the support of the family. This is good energy; good fuel to keep your “truth-seeking” self running smoothly. Recharge once in a while. You cannot help others if you do not help yourself. Powerful words, aren’t they? They are so, so true, however. Take notes! Over the course of the year, I will cover different aspects of this momentous year. Let’s see how it unfolds.

Lastly, never give up hope. Even if things look bleak, stay in touch with that light. Stay enrobed in positive energy, have faith in yourself, mother Earth, and don’t forget God. So many people have forgotten. I am not endorsing one religion over the other – freedom to worship in whatever method or mode we want to is one of our constitutional rights, along with how we perceive God. However, don’t forget God. He works in strange and unique ways.

So now, the lecture is over. I will keep them coming, however not every post is going to be like this. I will try and keep the important news in focus. Also, I have a creative partner. We are “Awareness Artists,” along with many other creative people who try and spread the truth through art of all kinds, ranging from performance art, to theater, Hollywood, music, painters, watercolor artists, you name it. You are all awareness artists, but you do not know it yet – some of you do, however, and you know how to get in touch with that concept. My creative partner is Shanona Ryder, and you can find her right here, at her little corner of the web. I trust what she has to say implicitly. Please check her out. She is awesome, and will inform and entertain.

We will meet again soon, right here, on my little spot on the web.

The End of Sovereignty. Pay Attention, my Friends!

2011-12-27T18:18:00.000-08:00

Start by Reading and Watching This presentation.

Now, please get angry. This is our right. Not only to get angry, but to fight for our freedom. This is a travesty. This is an abomination! We must throw those responsible for this out into the trash. Burn it! This is not the United States. Our loss of country began with the Kennedy Assassination. It was conceived with the creation of the Federal Reserve. A cabal of evil men decided that greed was more important than democracy, more important than our future.

Folks, this is 2012. If we do not take action, whatever we get, we deserve.

Thanks for listening!

Winding up the year for an explosive 2012

2011-12-26T12:04:00.000-08:00

Read the news today!

Read the news, then search the internet, and learn as much as you can about this event that is bound to be made real in the coming year. FEMA camps, stacks of coffins, martial law, and you... We need to be prepared, because we as a people, sovereign individuals, will be herded like cattle, impounded, and sacrificed for the needs of the powers that be.

We cannot allow that to happen. We cannot. We will not.

Let's be strong and together in the coming year. Never give up hope, never give up one ounce of your independence and sovereignty. It is our God given right.

God Bless you all, my dear friends.

A Need to Know...

2011-12-09T17:46:00.000-08:00

Sign and Deliver!
Watch my friend Richard Dolan deliver this brief address, and then, sign the petition! Disclosure will not happen overnight. It is a slow and arduous process that has been going on since the secrecy was put in force. Something this big and incredible cannot be kept under wraps for long...

Have a good one, my friends...

Life, and the Shortness of It All

2011-11-29T08:57:00.000-08:00

I recently received some very, very bad news. One of my childhood friends, someone I played with, and grew up with, and vacationed with constantly, passed away on the 6^th of April this year. For a while, I couldn’t believe it. At 52 years old, he was three years my junior. It baffled me, and I wondered what happened. Our lifestyles were very similar as teenagers and young adults, and I figured we were still similar in health and lifestyle. I could speculate, and figure well, he never stopped smoking, or he never did drink in moderation, or that his time in the Navy introduced him to a lifestyle that was “sailor-like – whatever that means.” But the truth is that he left the Navy with a very high level of security, and went to work in Silicon Valley, California, and was fairly well off. He never married, and he had no children to brighten up his life. He was a single guy with responsibilities that focused on his needs.

Then I thought – can loneliness really kill? Can the absence of a significant other really cause our level of unhappiness to be so high as to shorten our lifestyle so lethally? Speculation gave way to reason as I figured that I have no business supposing that because we hadn’t seen each other for about 14 years. I had no idea what the status of his love life was. Then I thought that it was the smoking. Or, the drinking, the overeating – he was an avid bacon and sausage connoisseur and never passed up a chance to eat a big plate of Jimmy Dean or Bob Evans sausage and eggs. Once again, reason pushed its way into my consciousness and ruled that out. I went through a few other possibilities, like chronic illnesses, or drug addiction, and all fell by the wayside. None of them worked.

So, it slipped my mind after a while, and life went on, although I still felt wful, and perhaps a little annoyed that no one got in touch with me back in April. One day though, I was walking, not really thinking of anything, just losing myself in the autumn leaves and crisp air, and then, it hit me. Perhaps the only explanation that covered this sad event, and that satisfied my curiosity, but in an ominous way. It really made me think. I recall, way back in CCD classes (back when I was young, if you were enrolled in a public school, and were Catholic, you had to attend these catechism classes – I think kids still have to do this) that there were many passages in the Bible that covered the answers to some of these questions that were difficult to attach an explanation to.

It was a simple passage, a quote from Jesus himself. He said (my interpretation) “Be ready! For you know not the day, the hour, or the minute you will be called to the Father.” I thought as I walked. It made sense. And, it applies across the board, whether you are a Catholic, a Protestant, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, it applies. Even if you are Agnostic. We really have no idea when the end will come. The end for each of us, as individuals, I mean. Most people really do care about the impression they leave behind, or they take with them into the next dimension.

So, I took a review of my life as I walked along. Had I been as kind, loving, generous and supportive as I could have been to my brothers and sisters? Had I acted responsibly? What about my family? Am I doing the best I can for them? How about my friends? Well, I found a few areas where I had fallen or was falling short of how I should be serving my fellow man (brothers and sisters).

If my best childhood friend’s life had any meaning, well, it shook me up a little, and made me aware of how short life can be, and how important it is to keep a good record of our behaviors, responsibilities, and life in general. In turn, I am sharing my thoughts and feelings with you, my friends, in hopes that my friend’s early departure from this mortal plane of existence, and his life, overall, was not in vain.

Take a moment, once in a while, to think about your life. Allow yourself a brief life review. Improve those areas that need attention. Lord knows we all have something in our lives we can improve. Take pride in the stuff you are doing right. Most importantly, pass this along to your friends. Who knows? If we spread this idea far enough, perhaps we can be responsible for spreading a little peace and love. What better act can you do for humanity?

Love to you all,

Michael

Let's Keep Our Heads on Straight...

2011-11-12T20:50:00.001-08:00

Let’s not go crazy…

Let’s try to hold on to our sanity. Yes, there are changes afoot, and they seem to be scary and it looks like these changes, both good and bad, are set out to kill us all, or at least change everything we know around us into a strange, different world. A world that seems to want to leave us behind.

Well, please listen to this. Give yourself a break. Check the facts, think, use your intelligence and wade through the bullshit that all the naysayers out there, and all the preachers of doom, and all of those authors, movie makers, and governments throw out in front of you. Research for yourself, and like I said, gather all of the facts. Get the story straight, and use the tool God gave you to detect bullshit: your gut.

For example, How in the hell does anybody know what is going to happen in December of 2012? The Mayans were brilliant in their astronomical knowledge, and they were likely brilliant in the art of predicting the future. I must say, though, we do not know the full story, since no one living today was alive all those years ago, and look – we only have one of the codices ( books of knowledge) out of the many which were lost or destroyed in a fire. So, even the experts are not certain that their interpretations are correct. This opens up interpretation, therefore, to anyone who wants to take a shot at it. I always looked at it like this:

It’s early morning, and the guy who is sitting out in the open air, on this crisp cool fall day, writing out the Mayan calendar on a table of stone feels a chill in the air. After all, he is sitting there on a stone stool, with his writing tools and inks and what have you, in a loincloth, with his bare bottom on that cold stone stool. Brrrr. Suddenly, he thinks, “I need a frikkin hot cup of coffee!” So he lovingly looks over all of the hard work he put into this masterpiece, and goes inside the temple, puts some money in the community coffee fund cup, and pours his brew. Suddenly, having caught a second wind, he goes outside again, admires the morning sunrise, and sits down to work on his calendar by sunlight, since the clear cool day has begun. Several of his co-workers happen by, and they stop to bullshit for a while. Well, calendar guy loses all track of time, looks at the sun and exclaims “Oh, shit! I gotta get this work done. The wife is gonna kick my ass if I don’t get home…” So with newfound diligence, he pounds away at his work. He figures he might take a few shortcuts – no one will notice – and he goes right to the end, where he interprets the stars and writes into the calendar all of the bad things, and good things, that are going to happen. And he busts his hump to get to the very end, where all of the really cool things happen, like mankind will develop telepathy, we will discover “zero-point energy,” the earth, mother that she is, will begin to restore herself, and all of our natural resources…”

“Wow,” he thinks, “this is going to be awesome. Wish I were going to be alive in 2013!” Suddenly he gets a call from the wife. She tells him to get his ass home, that he worked enough, and that he better remember to get toilet paper from the store, or she was going to hit him with a bat.

Before he gets a chance to write all of the good stuff in the calendar, he gets up, and runs home, stopping at the store to get the toilet paper. He does not want to be assaulted with a bat. After all, they are made of stone, and sheesh, they really hurt! He puts his work behind him as he heads down the street, and into his little, humble home.

Back at his job, his secretary walks into his office, and notices the calendar lying on the desk. “Oh,” she says, ”the boss will be ecstatic to see the calendar project is done.” She takes the calendar and puts it in the boss’s mailbox.

No one notices that a grave mistake has been made. The calendar is not complete, and it is published, as is.

Centuries later, this calendar is dug up and found by an archaeologist. Because the calendar is faulty, the archaeologist and his team of scientists are overcome with a feeling of dread. They spread the word that “The end is near!”

You know the rest.

You realize, that my lame little tale is just as valid as anyone else’s, regardless of degree of specialty, because all of the information is not there. Folks, do your homework. Use your brain. Use your logic, and trust your gut. The truth will prevail.

I think we will all survive, and after December, 2012, we will all have a normal 2013. Have a great day, people, and an exciting 2012!

MUFON -- The Place to Study the UFO Phenomenon

2011-06-16T10:18:00.000-07:00

I have been a member of MUFON since 2003. Before that time, I knew of MUFON, and always had a deep respect for the organization and the work it does not only to develop an awareness of Ufology, and not only to record sightings, but to research these sightings, categorize these sightings, and compare analyses of these objects. In sum, MUFON was the only organization that used scientific analysis to study UFOs.

In 2003, I decided to join. I filled out my application, sent it in to headquarters, and decided to contact one of the researchers in the area. His name escapes me at the moment, but he welcomed me as a member. After some thought, I decided to study the handbook, and took the test to be a field investigator. I received a letter about 3 weeks later congratulating me, and informing me that I had passed the test. I was officially an investigator. Well, something happened, and I believe it was at my job – I received a promotion that would leave me little time for anything else. So, I decided not to show for the meeting, and although I was still an investigator, I was put on “inactive” status.

Well, years passed, and in late 2008 I decided to try and reactivate my status as a field investigator. I spoke with Bob Gardner. I decided to meet him at the Philadelphia UFO Meet up group, the only meeting of its kind in the city. Well, from there it was onward. My first few investigations were simple open and shut cases. I must have made a good impression, because Bob was promoted to Chief Investigator for the state of Pennsylvania. He also covered Delaware and West Virginia. Wow, I was impressed. I received a great surprise when Bob offered me the State Section Director’s position he vacated. With little or no hesitation, I said “yes!” Since then, the task has had its ups and downs, but overall, it was, and is, an awesome job. Now, I am a candidate for the MUFON STAR Team!

Before I sing my praises for the organization MUFON, I must sing the praises of MUFON’s Chief Investigator, Bob Gardner. Bob is a truly gracious and supportive man. He is there for his people twenty-four / seven. He is understanding, kind, and generous. And, after all this time, through thick and thin, he is my brother. He is more than capable as an investigator, a researcher, a ufologist, and a human being. Everybody should have a leader like him.

Now, allow me to reveal my observations, thoughts and feelings concerning MUFON. I feel we are a “band of brothers.” Everyone is cooperative, and we work well together as a team, and that is not hard to do. MUFON works according to the highest scientific principles. An investigation in MUFON is very similar to a CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) investigation. Witnesses are questioned, evidence is collected, including photographs, soil samples, and the like. A report is written, the witnesses are informed of the results, and they are recorded on MUFON’s computer, a system we call the CMS. Sightings are classified according to a system developed by the esteemed Ufologist and researcher, Jacques Vallee.

MUFON prides itself on its ability to thoroughly investigate sightings, We have hpoto analysis professionals, laboratory analysts, and an ongoing learning program, which keeps we investigators up to date with the latest procedures, investigations, and sightings, including the instruction given on scientific principles and procedures. We are all then deemed certified in the particular lesson. This process keeps us right on the cutting edge of technology and how it applied to our field of study.

Additionally, unlike any other organization I have been associated with, people are all accessible from the bottom to the top. To demonstrate how accessible all of the leadership is, our international director, Clifford Clift, knows us all by name, and keeps in touch with all of us with a regularly sent e-mail. And despite what you might think, yes, it is personal. We are all addressed in the mailing by name. It is truly an organization that can be described as a “band of brothers.” We all care about our area of study. We are all highly trained and certified in what we do, and we have one of the most thorough system of communication I have ever seen.

Truly, MUFON is an organization with a high sense of integrity, caring and professionalism. It is a scientifically astute organization, and I am very proud to be working in the ranks, and being associated with.

I highly encourage anyone who is interested in becoming a member or a field investigator, to follow your impulses – follow your dream. Join us and our band of brothers (and sisters!). You will not regret your decision. I am proud to be an investigator. I am a representative of MUFON. This is the place to research, investigate, and understand the phenomenon of UFOs.

On the Rapture, and the End of Days...

2011-05-21T09:36:00.000-07:00

Tonight, my friends, the rapture is supposed to occur, which will mark the beginning of the end of days. Or, more likely, not. People who are waiting in grief and anxiety, or even with anticipation and desire, are not prepared to face it, even if it were to occur. The reason I say this comes directly from the bible itself. In it, Jesus tells his disciples and those gathered around him that only God the Father knows when the world will end – the end of time as we perceive it. Jesus admits to not knowing either. No one knows, except the Creator Him/Herself. Also stated in the bible is the appropriate way to approach the end: God will give us signs (I’m not going to review all of these signs here – read them for yourself). Once we see those signs, we are to prepare ourselves. How do we do this? Well, we are advised to always be ready. And, whether you are religious or not, or believe or do not believe, should we not live this way regardless?

We should be free of offenses toward ourselves and others. Our karma should be in good order. Treat others as you want to be treated. Treat the world, the Earth, and nature as property on loan to us. It does not, nor ever did, belong to us. Respect others completely. Don’t carry on because they have more than you, don’t poke fun at them because they have less than you. Don’t be all full of yourself. Put your brothers and sisters first. Don’t take the best, or large amounts of anything – food, money, possessions – just enough for you, and the ones who depend on you. Turn the other cheek. Now that doesn’t mean you have to stand there and take a beating. What it really means goes something like “do not provoke or endorse violence of any kind toward another, whether it be a person, a group, a belief system, or a nationality." You get my drift. These are just common, everyday ways to live peacefully in the world. Also, you want to be a “light in the darkness.” Be an example for others. When others see you behaving with respect toward others and the world around you, they will mimic that behavior, if they are rational, intelligent, thinking organisms. I could go on and on, but like I said – you get my drift.

So, how are we doing? If we, as a populace, a society, a people, were to be issued an overall report card, how are we doing? The big picture demonstrates that we are not really passing. As a matter of fact, with the exception of pockets of rational, intelligent people who operate with reason, logic, and caring toward others and their world, we are failing miserably. There are still wars, wars fought for the possession of “things,” oil, land, precious metals, and you name it, we are coveting it. We are still condemning others for the color of their skin, for their beliefs, their status, how they dress, or simply how they look at us. We are still a violent people. We worship things. We want all the money. At this rate, no one will meet their maker “up in the middle of the air,” as the old gospel tune goes. Even if tonight were the beginning of Armageddon, Christ might appear in the east, take one look at our sad, sorry asses, throw up His hands and say “ Forget it. I’ll come back when you are ready..” or, perhaps something a bit more graphic.

So, in all, it might behoove us, regardless of what or who we believe in, whether we are religious or not, to begin to prepare ourselves, or, just to start treating others with respect. With love. With kindness. Let’s treat our Earth like we should. Respect mother Earth. Without mothers, where would we all be right now? Right. We wouldn’t be right now. Kindness and love reverberate exponentially. One smile, one hug, one wish for love toward another doubles and triples with each person passing it on. Imagine a world built on a foundation of love, compared to the one we have, based on greed, power, and wealth.

Yes. It is possible. If we all start now, when we actually do face the end, we will all be confident in the fact that we will all move on into the next dimension of living together, as a whole. No one will be lost. Love will rule. Join me in that battle – the battle for love – won’t you?

Can We Handle The Truth? (A Brief Lecture)

2011-05-05T17:25:00.000-07:00

This past weekend, President Barack Obama announced the death of Osama Bin Laden (OBL). People who favor Obama are saying that he accomplished in three years wha it took the bush administration 7 years to do, and they ultimately failed. So, we sing "Ding dong, the wicked ol' terrorist is dead." Bin Laden was taken out. He exists no more... Poof! But wait! Check the history -- not in the archives of CNN, but all over the internet, in alternative news and media outlets, sites featuring historical reference, and the like. Searching, what do you find?

Many times over the past ten years, OBL has been reported to have been killed, assassinated, or that he died from medical issues. Now, we are dealing with this piece of news, delivered, most dramatically, on a late Sunday evening, when most Americans are sitting at home, recovering from activities and busy weekend fun, mentally preparing to rejoin the work force, and cooling and calming down in that late Sunday period where the weekend atmosphere, bright and cheery, transfigures into the droll Monday blues. What an excellent and well-crafted time to dump this information on the average American. I guess they are finally getting around to admitting that, as Benazir Bhutto informed us "Bin Laden was killed years ago," and she revealed this on November 2nd, 2007 in an interview with David Frost. Most unfortunately, Ms. Bhutto lost her life over that statement. On December 27th, CNN reported "Pakistan's former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday outside a large gathering of her supporters where a suicide bomber also killed at least 14 people, doctors and a spokesperson for her party said..."

So, what was this past Sunday, May 1st all about? Other reports over the years revealed that OBL died of medical and other reasons. Most memorable to me were reports that he died of kidney failure. In a January, 2002 interview with CNN, Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf told reporters that OBL had probably died of kidney failure, and that he had taken two dialysis machines into Afghanistan with him.

It makes you think, doesn't it? Either no one knows what they are talking about, or someone -- everyone are blatantly lying, spreading disinformation, or rumors, or all of the above.

Additionally, it has been asserted that OBL and Al Qaeda have been used successfully by United States Intelligence Agencies and "Homeland" Security for the purpose of keeping Americans steeped in fear. Remember, fear is the most effective tool, in my opinion, used by governments, the NWO, or the Illuminati, to keep people under control. And, since 9/11, if you ask questions, or question authority concerning matters of terrorism and its policies, you are put on a "watch list," considered an "enemy of the state," and you are not allowed to board a jet to travel. No more Disney World vacations.

My point in this short article is this: Do your homework. Do not blindly believe the news, politicians, or even the President. Get the facts, as the facts exist. Then, lay them out on the table, move them around, until you put the puzzle together as you think it should be. Get together with friends and like-minded people and debate -- compare information and data. Then, create an educated opinion about the reality at hand as it is perceived by you. Question things. Know that accepting most things regarding reality or truth at face value is a lot like beauty. It is only skin-deep. It doesn't necessarily portray what lies beneath the surface. For what lies beneath the surface of reality is sometimes drastically different.

In the end, you will be well-informed, well educated, you will know your way around events and how they look on the surface, and what is actually going on beneath the veneer of CNN, the White House Press Secretary, or the evening news. You will be awake and aware, and you will not be easily fooled. Fear will no longer suppress you. You will be able to declare with absolute accuracy "I am a sovereign human being." For further information and education concerning these matters, please consult my friend and colleague Mark Passio's website "www.whatonearthishappening.com. Say Mike sent you.

Yes, in the end, we can handle the truth. We will know the truth when we are finally able to rise above fear and freely question authority, reality, and intent. God bless everyone until the next time, and love to you all.

Free Your Mind

2011-04-22T15:57:00.000-07:00

On April 9^th and 10^th of 2011, a momentous and mind-opening event took place in a humble auditorium in the City of Brotherly Love, The Seat of Independence, Philadelphia. It was a conference that would ignite a fire in the “Truth Movement.” After millennia of control by the elite, the human race was beginning to stir enough to finally realize the tremendous power it held collectively. The human race rose from the depths of oppression to engage in a battle that persists even to this day – the conquest for truth, the fight for individual sovereignty, and the destruction of the dark occult forces that strive to choke and finally destroy the human being. It is a dark conquest for souls, the diminishing of sovereignty, and the collapse of self-ownership.

Present at this event were a brigade of well-versed and educated experts who were emerging as leaders in the truth movement. Gathered together from all over the North American Continent, their presence and voice would set into motion a wave of revelation – a tsunami of truth, if you will, that opened up the doors once closed by Illuminati soldiers. Coming soon is The Free Your Mind Textbook – a handbook the reader can use to begin their own conquest and defeat of evil and search for the ultimate truth. This guide will present the basics, the facts and the techniques the reader can assemble into their own weapon to battle against the pervasive effects of mind control and the dark occult forces that prey upon the human consciousness. The work has already begun!

Short Break

Today, Andrew Basiago, Farah Yurdozu, and Bob Tuskin

The team leader of Project Pegasus, Andrew D. Basiago is a lawyer, writer, and 21st century visionary.

Andy is an emerging figure in the Disclosure Movement, who is leading a campaign to lobby the United States government to disclose such controversial truths as the fact that Mars harbors life and that the United States has achieved "quantum access" to past and future events.

He has been identified as the first of two major planetary whistle blowers predicted by ALTA, the Web Bot project that analyzes the content of the World Wide Web to discern future trends. Andy's writings place him at the forefront of contemporary Mars research. His paper The Discovery of Life on Mars, published in 2008, was the first work to prove that Mars is an inhabited planet. After publishing his landmark paper, Andy founded the Mars Anomaly Research Society.

Andy is also one of America's time travel pioneers. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he was a child participant in the secret US time-space program, Project Pegasus.

He was the first American child to teleport and took part in probes to past and future events utilizing different forms of time travel then being researched and developed by DARPA.

For ten years, Andy has investigated his experiences in Project Pegasus on a quest to prove them and communicate them to others.

Soon, he will publish a tell-all book that will describe his awe-inspiring and terrifying experiences in Project Pegasus and the true story of the emergence of time travel in the US defense community 40 years ago.

Andy was born on September 18, 1961 in Morristown, New Jersey, the youngest of five children, and grew up in Northern New Jersey and Southern California.

A past member of Mensa, the high IQ society, Andy holds five academic degrees, including a BA in History from UCLA and a Master of Philosophy from the University of Cambridge.

While an undergraduate at UCLA, he became a journalist and protégé of editor Norman Cousins of the Saturday Review, who once compared him to Robert Hutchins and nominated him to be the Editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Andy was inspired by a meeting with the futurist Buckminster Fuller in 1981 to pursue a career in environmental policy. After their meeting, Fuller wrote: "Andrew Basiago's integrity augurs well for humanity's continuance in the Universe."

He began his career writing articles about the urban environment for Los Angeles newspapers, national periodicals, and the Cousteau Society journal Calypso Log.

Andy studied environmental law at Northwestern School of Law of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, and then went on to design nature-friendly urban plans for cities in California and study environmental law with Professor Malcolm Grant at Cambridge.

His papers about the theory and practice of urban sustainability have been published in international, peer-reviewed journals in Australia, Britain, and the United States, cited widely, and placed in the environmental policy collections of university libraries.

Andy was admitted to the Washington State Bar Association in 1996.

A lawyer in private practice, he specializes in personal injury law while representing and collaborating with writers and filmmakers in the development of books, TV shows, and feature films with planetary and interplanetary themes.

Andy is on a crusade as a lawyer and activist to have the US government disclose its time travel secrets.

He believes that lobbying the US government to disclose its teleportation capability, so that teleportation can be adopted globally as the new form of civilian transport, is the most important environmental cause of our time.

Andy has named his campaign "Project Pegasus" after the secret US time travel program that he served in during his childhood as one of America's first "chrononauts."

About the better world society that he envisions, Andy stated:

"Imagine a world in which one could jump through Grand Central Teleport in New York City, travel through a vortal tunnel in the time-space continuum, and emerge several seconds later at Union Teleport in Los Angeles. Such a world has been possible since 1968, when teleportation was first achieved by DARPA's Project Pegasus, only to be suppressed ever since as a military secret. When my quest, Project Pegasus, succeeds, such a world will emerge, and human beings linked by teleportation around the globe will proclaim that the time-space age has begun."

Andrew's website: www.ProjectPegasus.net

Bob Tuskin is an eternal student of economics, science and the arts. His radio career began at age 15, then with 9/11 as the backdrop, his activist side began to emerge. An organic gardener, a radio show host and activist, he seeks a higher form of wisdom and works hard to ensure a better place for his children’s children.

Seeking an end to the current slavery based system in which we live, his solutions-based understanding is an important asset. As an active! activist, and with the skills of grammar, logic and rhetoric (the Trivium) in hand, Tuskin often speaks in front of city commissions, the environmental protection agency and others in the persuit of 9/11 justice, to promote awareness of geo-engineering and other topics.

Never pollyannaish and never afraid to speak his mind, with Bob Tuskin the truth shall be told. Bob will also be running for his local sheriffs office.

Free Your Mind Conference: Featured Speakers

2011-03-30T10:02:00.000-07:00

As we move closer to the Free Your Mind Conference, I am going to feature short bios of the speakers. Today, Aaron McCollum and Alfred Webre:

Aaron McCollum was born in a small town in California. From the time he was 3 years old his life was anything but normal. He was first evaluated and accepted into Project Talent for the 3rd generation Super Soldier program.

As a child, he was subjected to various testing and experiments to prepare him for what was to come. At the age of 5, he underwent his first "Alter" split. This was done through various techniques of electro-shock, water boarding, psychotropic drugs and even dark rituals through the Catholic Church. His training was extensive, and involved things such as survival training, pain tolerance, weapons, hand-to-hand combat and much more.

At 16, he received his first assignment, in which he was to be brought into the military under the U.S. Coast Guard. From there, as in his childhood, he had most of his memory blocked due to all he was a part of. He was a Black Operations operative for many missions throughout the world. He was also stationed at, at least, two underground facilities that he remembers, one in California, and an Underwater facility off the West Coast of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. This Caribbean facility is what he had been raised for. The base is referred to as PROSEA, short for Project Seagate. The base conducts many sub-projects, from interstellar travel, to Time Travel, to Human Hybrid generation.

Some other projects he was a part of include Operation Spyglass, MSST-Bravo and Noble Eagle. His first memory of the present life he lives was December 2005, where he found himself at an airport in Portland, OR, with two bags and no memory of who he was or where he had been. Since that time, he has slowly been regaining fragments of memories and information of his past, through contact with others with whom he had worked, and a few still inside our Shadow Government.

Website: www.UniversalTruthEvolution.com

Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd is a futurist and author of Exopolitics: Politics, Government and Law in the Universe (available at www.UniverseBooks.com), a book that founded the field of Exopolitics – the science of relations among intelligent civilizations in the multi-verse. Exopolitics includes a case study of human contact with an advanced civilization on Mars.

Alfred is a journalist, whose Examiner.com articles on multiversal research and cooperation are widely read in North America. Webre is the founder of www.Exopolitics.com, a leading exopolitical news website, and the host of www.ExopoliticsTV.com, a magazine format public affairs program on relations among intelligent civilizations in the multi-verse.

Alfred is chairman of the Mars Anomaly Research Society (MARS) www.ProjectMars.net, which is spearheading the international effort to research, disclose, and educate the public about life on Mars. He has proposed a truth-amnesty process to facilitate the release of the advanced, extraterrestrial-derived new energy technologies that can be used to create a sustainable, peaceful space age society.

Alfred’s original research and broadcasting on banning space-based weapons, and environmental war can be seen at www.PeaceInSpace.org. The Space Preservation Treaty that Alfred co-authored, is designed to transform the war economy into a sustainable, cooperative space exploration economy.

Alfred is a graduate of Yale University and Yale Law School in international law and was a Fulbright Scholar in international economic integration in Uruguay. He has taught economics at Yale University and constitutional law at the University of Texas. Alfred was general counsel to the New York City Environmental Protection Administration, a futurist at Stanford Research Institute (where he directed the proposed 1977 Carter White House extraterrestrial communication study), was a NGO delegate to the United Nations and the UNISPACE conference, and is a judge on the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal.

The Free Your Mind Conference is Upon Us!

2011-03-29T17:53:00.000-07:00

The Free Your Mind Conference, a unique, first-of-its-kind association of speakers focusing on mind control, the occult, trauma-based and ritualized abuse, and holistic treatment and techniques to assist victims along the path to recovery will take place in Philadelphia on April 9th and 10th. In the process of organization for the past 18 months, the principal organizers have collected a body of experts and experiencers to share information and impart knowledge to the public in attendance. The purpose of this conference is to raise awareness and to promote an understanding of vital information regarding the nature of the oppressive and controlling forces humanity faces in their fight for survival and ascendance. These forces, which manifest themselves in the form of cults, secret governments, the Illuminati, and similar associations, and the satanic forces they wield in effort to control, dominate, and eventually destroy the very nature of Humanity, are dissected and examined, and finally laid out and explained such that each and every person attending will leave with a basic understanding, and with tools in order to inform, spread the word, and battle against dominance.

The conference will take place from 9:00am to 8:00pm on Saturday, April 9th, and Sunday, April 10th. Ticket prices are only $20.00 per day in advance, and $30.00 per day at the door.

Sometimes I feel... This way

2011-01-25T22:46:00.000-08:00

Ryder/Melton 2011

Standing
On the edge of sanity
Trying to get to forever
I stumble along
Struggle
With the cure
Never quite feeling
Progress
Feeling
Like I’m moving backwards,
I am afraid of
Falling
Into
Darkness
Alone

Random Rant for the Day

2011-01-25T22:41:00.000-08:00

Poems and Walls
Ryder/Melton, 2011

It's so stupid,
It's driving me crazy
It's anything
It's driving me crazy

Can't think of the words,
Nothing comes to mind
My brain is on empty
Nothing comes to mind

Walls fall down,
But they can be repaired
Often they surround you,
But never be scared.
Often they surround you;
I've never really cared.

Walls stand the test of time
Unless someone knocks them down
Even when they lay broken
They never make a sound
Even when they lay broken
The stones are left to kick around.

The silent concrete,
Wood, brick or stone
I keep on stacking higher
It's where I make my home
I keep on stacking higher,
Just a slave to my desires

My life is mostly random
Like a needle lost in hay
I try to find direction
As the seconds tick away
I try to find direction
I always lose my way
I try to find direction
I'm just better off that way
Why am I wasting my time?
I'm looking for direction
I'm just wasting my time

For The Ones We Leave Behind

2011-01-21T13:21:00.000-08:00

Oh, that Muse! After reading Clif High's (Half Past Human)latest report, and watching many of the new posts on you Tube, and stories on other good sources for current, truthful news, I was just sitting at my laptop, saying to myself I needed to put some commentary up on my blog in an attempt to create a prophetic message. Suddenly, I was fed this wonderful piece of prose which I shall claim as my own, because I do not know who feeds me from the higher dimensions. Here goes:

FOR THE ONES WE LEAVE BEHIND

Can you see the clouds in the distance?
Can you feel the heat of the fire?
This is just one instance
Of that powerful desire
To save the land we live in
Save the land we love
Send the enemy into a tailspin
And call for the light from above

‘Cause we ain’t getting younger
And our children soon will be
Filled with that awesome hunger
To step to the front and lead
And we don’t want to set a bad example
We just want to show them the way
The resources we offer are ample
To help them fight for another day.

This has always been the land of the free
And a home for the brave
Now we ask our kids to stop and see
That grand old glory wave
And the time was always yesterday
And the time is calling now
Our freedoms are now on the line
We gotta keep them safe somehow

Throw away our history, it didn’t happen that way
There have always been deceptive forces planning to take what we have away
They want to turn us into minion slaves and make us work for darkness
So, my brothers and sisters, I’d rather be dead,
Than to live my life that way. You know I said I’d rather be dead than to throw my life away.

Our children are our only hope
To keep us strong and free
And I’d rather hang from the end of a rope
Than to see them taken from me
So, brothers and sisters, if I have to die
Then let it be fighting the beast
I can’t bear to hear the children cry
Let me die for them, at least

Throw away our history, it didn’t happen that way
There have always been deceptive forces planning to take what we have away
They want to turn us into minion slaves and make us work for darkness
So, my brothers and sisters, I’d rather be dead
Than to live my life that way
You know I said I’d rather be dead than to throw my life away

A Little Somethin' for the Holidays...

2010-12-26T11:24:00.000-08:00

A spontaneous eruption of "muse juice" and this is what happened. I was responding to my very good friend and creative partner on Facebook, and this jumped right out of my fingers and on to the page. Please, my readers... Enjoy.

Ode to the Season
©2010 Ryder/Melton Productions

No worries. Sit back, enjoy the show.
Snow flurries! relax, get in the know.
Tomorrow's one day closer to the end of the year.
Let's jump into the next one, and show no fear.
Will the paradigm shift? We'll wait and see.
I can guarantee adventure for you and me.
Will life get better? Let's give it a chance.
What about disclosure? Let's all do the dance.
Will secrets be revealed? Who's got the answer?
Let's all take a chance -- go ask the dancer.
Will the sky open up, will we all feel the love?
Let peace and prosperity, our lives take hold of.
We cannot survive without one another;
Let's all join hands, sister and brother.
The whole world is waiting for the big change
Let kindness and patience be the means of exchange
Between you and me, and the whole world around us
Let peace and harmony be the language we profess
And now, my dear friend, and all who will listen
Let's feel at peace, as the snowfall glistens

2010-10-28T20:23:00.000-07:00

It's so amazing, when you think of it -- we are all members of the Human family. Therefore, should not love be unconditional? Should we embrace our neighbors, friends, and, for that matter, even people we do not know? After all, they are our brothers, our sisters. Unconditional love and acceptance, mercy, and acts of kindness; this is the way to save humanity. This is the way we should live.

Closer To The Fire
©1999, Rev. 2010, Ryder/Melton Productions, M. A. Melton

Sitting by the fire
I remember when
You and I were one
And all that
Now, here I am at home
No worse for the wear
And I just think about
We two

Closer to the fire
Closer to the fire
We move in time,
But it’s a hard ride

Closer to the fire
Closer to the fire
I held you close to me
Now you’re just
Deep in my mind

Once there was a time
I lost my self respect
The stranger I thought I knew
Was me
Now I clearly see
All the players were just fools
We just didn’t see the light (oh, no we did not see the light)

Closer to the fire
Closer to the fire
We move in time,
But it’s a hard ride

Closer to the fire
Closer to the fire
I Felt you in my heart
Now you’re just
Deep in my mind

Closer to the fire
Closer to the fire
We move in time,
But it’s a hard ride

Closer to the fire
Closer to the fire
I still love you
Though you’re just
A memory in time

After Disclosure... What can we Expect?

2010-10-13T13:12:00.000-07:00

A little discussion about Rich Dolan and Bryce Zabel's upcoming book (I can't wait!)

Perhaps this is the year Ufology goes mainstream. It has been over sixty years in development as a field of inquiry, to a field of study, and finally, a field toward which the scientific method has been applied. I have been following this field since 1968, as a lad of 12 years old. It has been quite a fascinating journey, and I only wish I were around in 1947 when the Roswell Incident occurred. Although the field is over 60 years old, we all are aware of the fact that UFO reports have been generated by humans since the beginning of recorded history, meaning from the day our ancestors, the cavemen, recorded their sightings in paintings on their walls.

Theories abound concerning their purpose and origin. They are far-fetched, creative, strange, but also intelligent, seriously compelling, and most likely, accurate. For example, early UFO witnesses, including “abductees,” and just plain fans of flying saucers characterized UFOs as craft navigated by benevolent space brethren who are coming to Earth to warn us of nuclear disaster, or to take us to some far off Valhalla. Other theories include the supposition that they are working on a “hybrid” program, where the alien beings are slowly blending in with our society in order to either elevate us to a new and higher vibrational level, or to take over the planet, enslave mankind, and bleed mother Earth of all its resources. I think we humans are doing a great job of that, as it is, and perhaps their purpose is to warn us that, if we deplete the Earth of all its gifts, we will perish.

Now, as we are quickly approaching 2012, it seems there is a certain atmosphere growing that is allowing the once and still ridiculed field of Ufology to become more and more mainstream. And what about that?

I recognize Unidentified Flying Objects, and all of their variations as real, actual, physical and substantial. I believe the universe is teeming with life, in all its variations and beauty. I believe we were genetically upgraded by our alien brethren, and that we are being monitored. I also firmly believe in God, and I find no conflict between the two. God has created the universe in which all life thrives. I don’t think that there is any one “chosen” race. We are all God’s children, and we have been gifted with free will. With this free will, we and any other intelligent species out in the vast universe can choose and make our own destinies. We are all created in his image and likeness, for the face of God is endless in Its configuration. Therefore, whatever scenario you can dream up about the interaction between our alien brethren and ourselves is plausible, and God likely follows a non-intervention policy, much like the one Captain Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the Federation followed. He won’t intervene, unless, of course, we ask him to.

With that clarified, and my beliefs laid out on the table, I would like to speculate a little. In little over two weeks, a long-awaited book will hit the store shelves. “A. D., The Day After Disclosure” is a study of what society would be like after the day of disclosure when it is officially announced by the governments of the world that we are not alone in the universe, and in fact, we have been dealing with an alien presence for eons. In this book, Richard Dolan, the brilliant historian behind the two textbooks of Ufology, “UFOs and the National Security State, Volumes I and II,” and Bryce Zabel, the brilliant creator of the series “Dark Skies,” which aired for one season in the late nineties, and which will be available for the first time on DVD this coming year, have assembled a brilliant supposition of this disclosure scenario. Now what they have said or the story they have created is yet to be known. Despite this, what would you suppose the world would look like? How would the different societies react? Would there be riots in the street, angry and infuriated people in anarchy because of the lifetime of lies and deceit spilled forth from our government and those governments around the world? Would people wander the streets, dazed in disbelief because their so called “rock-solid” paradigm has suddenly crumbled beneath their feet? Would religion cease to exist, or would it be reinforced by these revelations? And what would happen to organizations such as MUFON or CUFOS? Would there still be investigators running from witness to witness in hopes of garnering all the evidence possible to prove the existence of aliens?

What would happen to our educational system? Would the field of Exopolitics suddenly become the hot major every undergrad wants to get into? What about economy? Currency? Fashion and Hollywood?

Needless to say, every single institution, organization, society, culture – everything would be drastically and suddenly altered. That day of disclosure will mark perhaps the quickest and most profound paradigm shift since the birth of Jesus Christ 2000 and some odd years ago. Perhaps even greater than the discovery of fire, way, way back when. When you ponder how drastic and widespread the sudden changes will be, you can’t help but to understand why this news might have been kept secret for so long. But what if… what if we were engaged in a slow, subtle indoctrination process involving television, radio, the movies, Hollywood, and advertisers, over decades and decades to lighten the impact of this reality-changing news? Would things in general be any different? Would it indeed lighten the impact? Or would it just give rise to conspiracies and fears of governmental takeovers, police states, and enslavement? Would it cause the populace to fear aliens, fear the taking over of our planet? It is interesting to ponder all of this.

However, I guess we will have to wait for the book to come out. It won’t be long, and then when it does hit the shelves, let the speculating begin! Until it does arrive in stores, you can pre-order “A.D., After Disclosure; The People’s Guide to Life After Contact” direct from Richard Dolan’s publishing company, www.keyholepublishing.com, for $24.95, plus shipping. Richard made it clear that the greater number of pre-orders determines how many copies get published overall, so get there and get yours! This book is sure destined to change the way you look at the world to come!

It's A Good Time for Ufology!

2010-10-10T12:40:00.000-07:00

Recently, the subject of UFOs has been in the news with great frequency; and what an opportune time. This coming Saturday, Pennsylvania MUFON will have its annual conference at the Sheraton in Bucks County. This year’s conference, featuring Richard Dolan, Leslie Kean, Bill Birnes from UFO Hunters, and a cast of additional professionals and researchers, promises to be just as relevant, if not more so, than all of the goings on in the past two weeks.

Last week, The National Press Club held a session featuring former military personnel coming forth and speaking about their experiences in the various military services in which they served. Revealing some vitally important and relevant information and data regarding the UFO phenomenon, these brave individuals went against the grain of convention. Their revelations give all involved in research and those who keep up with the sightings more hope that disclosure will be soon to follow. Robert Hastings, the chairperson at the Press club, Presented claims and witnesses – the retired military personnel – that UFOs and extraterrestrial beings have visited nuclear weapon sites in the United States and sites all over the world. Freedom of information act (FOIA) documents released support this as occurring since at least 1948. They demonstrated technology and capabilities far beyond anything the US or the other countries of the world claim to have. About 120 military personnel have verified these claims. Robert Salas, a former officer of note discussed how he was sworn to secrecy concerning these events. Robert hastings presents as one of his theories that the aliens are sending us a message that we humans are “playing with fire” regarding nuclear weapons. MUFON stands behind these whistle blowers, in hopes that disclosure does soon follow.

Other supporting happenings include the NBC television show “The Event,” which takes the subject of disclosure all the way to the “Oval Office.” Additionally, the recent release of Leslie Kean’s book “UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials go On The Record” and the imminent release of Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel’s book “After Disclosure” should serve to keep the topic up front and in the public eye for a good while. Richard Dolan and Leslie Kean will be featured speakers at this weekend’s MUFON Conference “UFOs: Seeing is Believing” at the Bucks County Sheraton Hotel.

Pennsylvania: Current Goings On and a Review of the Past Year’s Sightings

On the subject of nuclear power plant or military sightings, out of the seven Pennsylvania nuclear power stations, there have been no sightings in the past year or historically, which is an odd statistic when compared with the rest of the country.

As far as military installations, the Oakdale Armory, located near greater Pittsburgh International Airport in Pennsylvania is home to the 662nd Radar Squadron. They are the military group involved in the cover-up of the Kecksburg, PA UFO crash of 1965. Stan Gordon, Witness and researcher, considered an expert in the history and development of this sighting, will be presenting at this week’s MUFON Conference. He will be presenting an overview and an update of the Kecksburg Crash.

Regarding sightings in Pennsylvania, so far this year most of the sightings seem to be occurring in the southern half of the state, with Southeastern Pennsylvania leading the way concerning the number of sightings. Below are a few highlights so far this year:
1. From January to October, over 250 sightings across the state.

2. January, Westmoreland Co. PA: 5 silver orbs flying in formation

3. January, Delaware County, PA: Sighted a large triangle-shaped object with3 lights on
the bottom, and three lights in the rear.

4. January, Northampton, PA: Black, chevron-shaped object with 5 red blinking lights
underneath.

5. March, Crawford, PA: UFO hovered over witness’ car then sped off at an “incredible
speed”

6. April, Lehigh Valley, PA: 3 large, reddish orange lights in a triangular formation

7. June, Lancaster County, PA: A black, cigar-shaped object streaking across the tree line at a 45 degree angle

8. July, Philadelphia. PA: A starlight shaped object speeding across the horizon, making 2 sudden right angle turns and returned in the direction it came from

9. July, Cambria, PA: Fast spinning green light flying straight across the sky, then it descended toward the ground and vanished

Additionally, over the past year and a half, there have been a great number of sightings of orange and orange-reddish orbs, and a predominance of sightings of small silver orbs flying either solo or in groups of 3 to 7 or more. A number of these sightings occurred over the Philadelphia area. Also, there have been a great number of black triangles or triangle-shaped craft sighted across the state.

State Section Director Michael A. Melton, and Chief Investigator Bob Gardner were out on an investigation this summer, investigating the area where the\is particular sighting was with the witness. SSD Michael Melton was taking pictures of the surroundings, and in one of the pictures, they captured a “white triangle,” which was apparently not in the sky at the time the picture was taken. When the pictures were examined on Melton’s digital camera, they discovered the triangle, glowing white in the picture. Later that evening, the two investigators were checking out a second area where a sighting occurred, and they witnessed an orange crescent shaped object hovering just above the horizon. After a few minutes, it dipped below the horizon, vanishing. The last three years have been quite active, with well over 500 sightings reported since the spring of 2008.

MUFON approaches each and every investigation with a “healthy skepticism and they come to conclusions by means of elimination. When you discount all of the things it might have been, and you are left with nothing else to explain the sighting, then it is put into the category of “Unknown.” The volunteers, all trained and qualified through study, examination, and refresher courses throughout the year, utilize the scientific method in their investigation, and follow forensic guidelines when collecting data such as soil samples, objects that might have come in contact with a craft, materials possibly left behind by the craft, and the like. MUFON strives to present the best evidence regarding UFOs, guaranteed to be accurate through the use of stringent investigative methods.

Another Moment of Synchronicity?

2010-09-28T09:27:00.000-07:00

The most mind-blowing aspect of synchronous events is their apparent purposeful occurrence within a particular time frame that, on many levels of perception, link them all together in a sequence that triggers speculation, hope, fear, or anticipation (among other mental states). The latest collection of synchronous events, robust and copious, once again bring to the forefront hopes of “disclosure.” That is the perceived event that will finally and completely affirm the belief that we are not alone in the universe, and indeed, we are but one of many members of a galactic family of beings, both similar to us, and exotic in their nature. Let’s take a look at the recent newsworthy and rumored events that have taken us once more for a ride toward that speculative event called “disclosure:” (not in any particular order…)

1. NBC’s new show, “The Event,” supposedly about disclosure.

2. Leslie Kean’s release of her current best-seller “UFOs,” about Generals, pilots, and government officials speaking on the record about UFOs.

3. The great Richard Dolan discusses his new book co-authored with Bryce Zabel (A. D.: After Disclosure) and a suspicion that the book release and the NBC show “The Event” are somehow connected.

4. An alleged announcement that the United Nations is appointing Mazlan Othman to the position of “Space Ambassador.”

5. The September 27th National Press Club hosting former military officers to discuss UFOs and their apparent interference with nuclear weapon sites.

6. The spreading rumor that, on October 13, aliens will make their presence known to the world via a mass sighting; this information coming from a former NORAD officer.

As much as I would like these events to lead up to an announcement that we are not alone, all the same, I am not moving any eggs into that basket at this time, if ever. I argue that we do not need disclosure of any kind. We know aliens exist already, based not only on physical evidence, sightings and encounters, but also on intuitive knowledge, and logic. What we really need to be wary of are these seemingly periodic synchronous events that feature the possibility of disclosure, which in turn, stimulate thoughts, emotions and expectations regarding this most elusive event. Then, we are fed disinformation that, on October 13, the aliens will make their existence known via a mass sighting. This announcement supposedly made by a supposed "former NORAD officer. Sorry, but I am not excited about this at all. As a matter of fact, it disturbs me. Because, when the mass sighting fails to occur, UFOs, Ufology and UFO researchers and believers everywhere are the center of folly, jokes, and are summarily discredited. One of these days, these events will be followed by a false flag operation via "Project Blue Beam;" a staged invasion... marking the beginning of the end for freedom, and the demise of many of us hopeful pawns, also.

Now many of you might think that this is an extreme interpretation. And it might just be that these seemingly synchronous events are nothing more than serendipity – an unexpected chance occurrence. They well might be, but I am taking no chances. I suggest we take a skeptic stance and say, “I won’t believe it until I see it, or experience it.”

One more argument: why would aliens, supposedly eons more advanced than we are, wait for an official announcement from our leaders? And, if they did land on the White House lawn, what do you suppose would happen to those hapless aliens? You got it. They’d be blown out of existence, or imprisoned in "Gitmo" for the rest of their natural lives. That is, if we are able to catch this advanced race by surprise.

Let’s face it. When our alien brethren want to announce their presence, they will, in their own time, and in a big, unmistakable way. And that, you can take to the bank, my friends,.

Timelines -- How to use...

2010-09-10T12:16:00.000-07:00

My friends, I am sold on the theory in physics that multiple universes exist. Additionally, there are an infinite number of timelines running parallel to each other, and they twist and turn, mix and mingle along their course with every decision we make. Additionally, I feel that there are timelines that are more fixed, particularly unique to the particular universe they traverse.

This supports the notion that God, who, by the way, my friends, exists undeniably, granted men free will, and that free will is a tool to be used in our arsenal of life. Our lives, the gifts that they are, were not meant to be lived like we were passengers on a train with no destination. In fact, we can, in reality, change trains whenever we like. We can take the direct route, the economic route, the scenic route, or any combination of the routes we can conceive. Thus, timelines were made to be changed, as we are on a course of our own choosing, and a route we have free will to change whenever we wish.

So, my proposition, and point of discussion today focuses on change. In particular, I am talking about positive change. If we are the “masters of our domains,” as the comic Jerry Seinfeld discusses in one of his hilarious routines, then we must contemplate why we allow our particular domains to master us. One of my best friends and creative partner had an idea for a name to be given her boyfriend’s up-and-coming computer business. She penned the name “Maintain Your Domain” as the name of his foundling computer hardware and software business – brilliantly creative, rhythmical and pleasing to the ears – sure to catch on. This, additionally, is the task we are all assigned to in life. We are in charge of keeping our domain well managed, happy, clean and neat, but most importantly, satisfying. We should employ the technique of “crossing the timelines” on a regular basis in order to keep ourselves traveling down the path of life we so choose. Now, let’s complicate the picture, but not frivolously.

Success, Happiness, Timelines, and The Life Well Lived

What exactly is success? Cutting to the quick, I will tell you this – it is not based on the modern proverb “He who has the most toys wins,” nor is it the man with the biggest bank account, or the person with the greatest ability to wield power. From many a person’s perspective, it appears to be quite wonderful “at the top.” The truth is, however, it is not. It is not a sugar-coated world of delights, easy street, or any of those things. Because the old saying “money doesn’t buy happiness, love, or any of the good stuff we humans need to survive, is gospel. It is truth…

What exactly is happiness? I define it as a state of mind, similar to bliss, which occurs when a person is satisfied with who they are, and what their purpose is in life. Success is not in that definition. Please take note. The reification of that happiness takes place especially when we gain wisdom enough to look back upon our life and say “Wow! What a blast! I did some cool things, made friends, was liked by a lot of people, hurt no one, and helped everyone who needed it.” Please note that money, power, or the lust required to obtain both is not in that definition. What is in that definition is a “lust for life,” a “love for ourselves and mankind,” and a feeling that, regardless of where, we allowed ourselves to be taken to places in this plane of existence that were pleasing to everyone.”

Ah, yes, and timelines. Those are the tools we have the potential to use to get us in the right place, at the right time, to find success as defined above, and happiness, as defined above.” Now we take a dip into the pool of the metaphysical. Because, believe it or not, there are real, actual timelines that exist, and there are forces at work that want to prevent us from finding that success and happiness by utilizing the wonderful metaphysical processes that help us steer our lives along the timelines, and help us jump from one, to the next, and the next, in order to fulfill our wish for happiness and success.

What are your thoughts? I’d love to hear them.

More to come, as we approach the year 2011, the year we will all “Free Our Minds!”

Darkness at the Edge of Town

2010-08-25T05:57:00.000-07:00

The Darkness at the Edge of Town

With all apologies to the great rocker, Bruce Springsteen, I am using his song/album title as a framework for this, my latest rant. Hope he doesn't mind... (Bruce, from one rocker to another, well, you know where I'm going with this...)

We are a brilliant race of beings, we humans. But our brilliance is indeed dulled by that darkness, which is greed, and the hunger for power, and the thievery perpetrated by a handful of us who are trying to eliminate the rest of us so they can have all the toys. These “elite” few want it all, and for eons, they have been squandering all of the really nice things we humans have made, invented, and discovered, so they, and they alone can enjoy the good life. And... for centuries, we have, well, in a sense, allowed them to imbibe, for lack of a better word.

It's not our fault, mind you, for we have been lulled, hypnotized, bought and sold down the tubes and up the river by the bloodlines. We have been wooed by an assassin with a smile, dangling the “American dream” in front of us like the proverbial carrot on a stick. We believed the lies, the sales pitch, we can repeat the “tag lines” by heart. We are watching “high-def,” while they are looking for other worlds to migrate to when they suck this one dry.

And for as long as power could be wielded one over another, we have bought the ticket. Now, as The Powers That Be (from here on referred to as TPTB) draw upon their end game, they are suddenly stricken with terror. Not just any form of terror. Imagine odds of, at minimum, millions to one. Imagine yourself fleeing for your very existence from a few million suddenly aware, awakened individuals feeling burglarized, terrorized, duped all of their lives. Yep, that kind of terror. TPTB are well aware of the fact that they have made severe blunders. TPTB have underestimated us.

Along with all of that drunken power, lust for money, and blind dominance, all of which they let go right to their heads, TPTB have overlooked the fact that we just might wake up. From out of the darkness at the edge of town come heroes. Heroes in the form of whistle blowers, victims, insiders and brave, brave individuals with special gifts who have found their way, thank God, to awaken us from the deadly slumber we were caught up in.

A few of these heroes have agreed to come together in April of 2011, in Philadelphia, to speak to us. They have agreed to stand before us and give us the power to take back what is rightfully ours – our very lives. Along with those lives returned we shall be given the knowledge, in the form of information and education, to spread the word to those who still remain trapped in their nightmares. So that, after April 9th and 10th of 2011, we will give TPTB more reason to literally give up the ghost – a fully informed and awakened public who can clearly see the evil in the darkness, and, by God, put to rest centuries of fogged consciousness, corrupting mind control, and the occult forces that held it in place.

Please plan to be in Philadelphia on April 9th and 10th of 2011 for The Free Your Mind Conference. Be a part of the beginning of the end, the end of oppression, and the beginning of a new tomorrow.

Michael Austin Melton, Psy.D.,
Coordinator and Co-Host,
“Free Your Mind Conference, 2011”

These are the times that try our souls...

2010-08-23T18:47:00.000-07:00

Soon, as the great Bob Dylan sang, the times they are a gonna be changing. Very soon, we will reach the tipping point in society when people will stand up for themselves and each other and proclaim “I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.” What a day that will be. This mass awakening will be near completion when our conference begins in April, 2011 (April 9th and 10th). We are expecting a large, hungry audience, with minds wide open, and an intimate knowledge of the enemy before us.

My dear friends, the choke-hold that the powers that be think they have on us will be revealed as nothing more than a scare tactic. Remember, “fear” is the Illuminati's only weapon left in their cache. What makes it useless is the fact that we are becoming wise to the way in which they use this weapon. Hey, it really is no good anymore. See, some experts are telling us that the elite are on the run. They are desperate, trying anything they can to cause alarm within our ranks. I believe these reports. Why, just recently, I read an article that proclaimed there was a new, more virulent and deadly flu breaking out in Indonesia, and the fear factor is this: “...our current vaccines have no ability to defend us from this strain.”

For God's sake, people. Can you see the desperation in that report? “There is no cure!” The Powers that Be are utilizing last-ditch efforts to get us to bow down. However, we will not! I repeat, we will not!

We are pulling together the greatest group of whistle-blowers and truth seekers and experts in their fields that there ever was. The lid will be blown off the top of the secrecy held over our heads for eons and eons. My good friends and readers, we will soon be the controllers. We will soon be in the control seat. However, we will not stoop to their methods! The idea is to kill the enemy with kindness. Forgive, but never forget. We want to send out the message of equality and unconditional love and acceptance. We want to hold no more secrets. We want to propagate no more lies. We wish for knowledge to be available to everyone, and items like free energy utilized by all of mankind.

What a pep talk! I am pepped as well! So, as the weeks move forward, I will keep you posted on the progress and promise our conference. Have a pleasant weekend everyone, and God bless.

Michael

Free Your Mind, people. Damnit! Can't you see what's coming?

2010-08-15T19:57:00.000-07:00

Over the next few months, I will be writing much about our up-coming conference, "Free Your Mind." It is a conference which will address all of the issues of our modern world through the eyes of consciousness, the terrors of mind control, and the hidden (occult) agenda designed by the Powers that Be. It is an event not for the feint of heart. Nor is it designed for the happy-go-lucky folks that feel no pain, anguish or suffering in today's modern world, or who feel undeniably that all is well, and there is no need for worry. You, my unfortunate friends, are lost.

It is, however, an event designed for those individuals ready to face up to the facts -- Our world, and indeed, our planet itself, is being sold out from under our feet, along with every man, woman, and child, save for a lucky 500,000,000 of you who are part of the "brave new world," and there is something we can do about it.

This conference is bringing together a dozen or so speakers, experts in the field, most of whom are first-hand experiencers, or victims of our shadow ruler's insidious and cabalistic plans for complete and utter domination of that precious resource, the human mind. I will attempt, as time goes on, to discuss these speakers, and highlight some of their accomplishments, their knowledge, and their ability to convey the urgent message to the world.

Perhaps a few of my most unfortunate friends will pick up on this news, or take an interest. That's how we plan on getting the word out... one human mind at a time. We can defeat the occult cabal of nefarious Illuminati New World Order bastards. And all you have to do is... "Free Your Mind."

The Play (Close to the End of the World)

2010-08-13T20:54:00.000-07:00

Copyright 2009 by Ryder/Melton Productions

The great play is only beginning
And the part you play is tough
They gave you no script to study
And said "Just being there is enough."

"Make up the words spontaneous;
Thinking about it extraneous;
Just open your mouth and you'll say the right thing.
You'll know when to dance and just when to sing."

So you hit the stage with nothing prepared.
Needless to say you're standing there scared.
And the spotlight falls down and the focus on you,
And you freeze for a moment, don't know what to do.

Suddenly, from somewhere deep inside,
You no longer want to run and hide.
The music begins and you take a deep breath,
But now you're no longer scared to death.

And you walk to the center and the spotlight does follow;
Just one more breath and one big swallow.
No one told you, but you know the cue,
And it's coming up fast, now it's up to you.

And the sound emanates: such a beautiful note:
And the words coming out, it's something you wrote.
And the crowd comes alive; they're up on their feet;
And the evening is over, the memory sweet.

In your dressing room you try and recall
All the fear and reluctance, the feelings and all,
But somehow they vanished, they're no longer there
As you finish the strokes to fix your hair.

You are leaving the theater with a new view on life
You can beat this confusion and conquer this strife
Just stand in the spotlight and say what you feel
And at that very moment, your life becomes real.

Experience awakening
Experience awakening

When the Earth decides it will all come alive
We will join the universal family
When creation winks its beautiful eye
Then we will know the song of the galaxy

Circling the planet wide
Take the time to appreciate
Creation’s gift is harmony
Creation’s gift is harmony

Coming back to Mother Earth,
So much alive all around us
We have so much to appreciate
We have so much to appreciate

When the Earth decides it will all come alive
We will join the universal family
When creation winks its beautiful eye
Then we will know the song of the galaxy

When the Earth decides it will all come alive
We will join the universal family
When creation winks its beautiful eye
Then we will know the song of the galaxy

Just another one By Ryder/Melton Productions
M. A. Melton

What’s gonna happen when your microcosm falls,
A victim of the changes we all have to make;
Will you lose yourself amongst the collapsing walls,
Realize that your time alive was just a fake?

The world is a film by Fellini;
Reality just a blurred photo in a collection.
Emotions charged by a nine-volt cell,
While we, without thought,
Catapult head first
Twisting and turning like a champion diver
Into the fires of hell.

Where will you be when it all falls apart?
Do you plan on standing on a corner Downtown,
Wondering where you put your sense of direction,
All the while trying to maintain an erection?

The world is infected with Groucho Marx.
Reality dragged through the mud.
Emotions just butter on toast.
While we all, preoccupied,
Relinquish all control
With our hand covering our collective ass
So we don’t get buggered by the cops.

I told you so, this is how its gonna be.
I told you so, this is all we’re gonna see.
I told you it made no sense before we embarked.
And now, without thought,
We catapult head first
Wearing cement size twelves
Into the depths of the ocean’s cold death.

I can smell it on your breath, it’s the scent of failure,
With a tinge of sarcasm, helps you swallow.
Can you get it down,
Past the bruises left by your foot?

What’s gonna happen when your microcosm falls,
A victim of the changes we all have to make;
Will you lose yourself amongst the collapsing walls,
Realize that your time alive was just a fake?

The world is a film by Fellini.
Reality just a blurred photo in a collection.
Emotions charged by a nine-volt cell.
While we, without thought,
Catapult head first
Twisting and turning like a champion diver
Into the fires of hell.

While we, without thought,
Catapult head first
Twisting and turning like a champion diver
Into the fires of hell.

“Physics in two Acts…” or “Dimensionality in perspective”

Act One: Matt and Jeff are sitting in Matt’s driveway, both guys leaning back on the hood of Jeff’s 2010 Camaro. It is almost nightfall. The sun can be seen far off in the distance, a fading orange glow quickly sinking below the horizon. The stars are beginning to become clear, and unobstructed by any lights. The view is striking as the two guys are overheard…

Matt: Are you thinking what I’m thinking? (gazing upward, then turns his head toward Jeff)

Jeff: I don’t know. What are you thinking? (continuing to stare skyward)

Matt: Nothin’. I was just looking at that bright star above us. See? That one. (pointing…)

Jeff: Oh, Wow. Yeah. I see it. On the tail of Orion’s Belt. (gesturing with his hand across the sky)

Matt: Yeah, well, I don’t know what it’s called, but it has always been my wishing star.

Jeff: Dude. You’re an adult. Wishing star? (jumping up off the hood, looking at Matt surprised)

Matt: Well, you know what I mean. When you look straight up to Heaven, well, it’s always right there.

Jeff: How do you know Heaven is up there?

Matt: Just what I believe, you know? I went to Catholic school. Nuns always told us we’d go “up” to heaven.

Jeff: Nuns? Fuck no! Well, what if I told you Heaven might be right here on Earth?

Matt: Yo, man, this ain’t heaven, I mean all the shit that goes on…

Jeff: Yeah, well, no, I don’t mean that. It’s like we’re on one plane, and Heaven is on another, but right here, occupying the same space, but like, uh, at a different, er… like vibration, or…

Matt: Huh. Pulling that science shit on me.

Jeff: I didn’t say it was science, did I?

Matt: Nah, but…

Jeff: It’s just a theory, you know, about different dimensions and universes and stuff. Like for example, where you are standing there might be one universe, and where I’m standing, well, there might be another.

Matt: I knew it. You’re talking science again. I can’t wrap myself around that shit…

Jeff: C’mon, Matt. You know there’s more out there than just planets, stars, and asteroids.

Matt: Well, sure… I mean, the sky is full from end to end.

Jeff: Dude, there is no end. It goes on and on. Dimensionality. The wave of the future.

Matt: Jeff, I thought you said you weren’t smokin’ weed anymore.

Jeff: Look ,I’m not smoking anything. You wanna hear something even stranger?

Matt: Okay, I guess.

Jeff: Did you know that at an undisclosed location, there is this thing called a “jump room” to Mars?

Matt: Where you getting this shit, man?
Jeff: Do you want to know more?

Matt: You’re freakin’ me out, man.

Jeff: My friend, this is reality of which I speak. This is not freaky.

Matt: Well, I’ve never heard of this stuff. My sister always talked about aliens, and being abducted, and it drove me nuts, night after night, day after day…

Jeff: Where’s your sister now? She’s not living at home anymore.

Matt: One day, we woke up, and we couldn’t find her. She was gone. It was like she disappeared into thin air. We always thought she eloped with her boyfriend, but when we didn’t hear from her, like for a month, we though there was some sort of foul play involved.

Jeff: Geezuz, Matt! Don’t you think that’s just a little unusual? Your sister disappears, aliens, foul play? What the fuck, bro?

Matt: Well, it’s not like she hasn’t ever disappeared before. Once, my…

Jeff: Look, I’m not trying to be rude, but you didn’t ever tell me she was missing!

Matt: What’s so fucking strange, Jeff, it’s happened to me, too. I can’t recall many of the details, but I recall a lot of chrome, and flashing lights.

Jeff: Are you sure you didn’t step through a porthole to the seventies? Sounds very disco!

Matt: It’s not funny. Let me tell you what I remember…

Jeff: Whoa, dude! Let’s go get a few brews… make the story tolerable.

Matt: Don’t joke, wiseass. It might happen to you, sooner than you think! Okay, let’s go…

THE POWERS THAT BE
©2010 by M. A. Melton, S. Ryder (Ryder/Melton Productions)

The powers that be
Are looking at me.
They are peering with long-distance eyes.
They can watch what I do from deep in space
And they watch from sunset to sunrise.

The powers that be
They can listen to me
No matter where I am.
They can listen to me through mountains and trees.
They send microwave signals, knocks me to my knees.
They put thoughts in my head,
Like I ought to be dead.
And they do this with relative ease.

Oh, powers that be can you see inside me?
Can you read what I’m thinking right now?
They spiked my water with LSD.
They do nasty things that make me pee.
I could be in a restaurant,
I could be in a store
I wet myself
Before I hit the door.
People around me think I’ve lost my mind.
I’m given no rest. I can never unwind.

I have implants inside of my head.
The circuitry is always read.
The Bureau, it knows when I come or I go,
And they threaten that I’ll soon be dead.

There is a farm of antennas across the town.
They heat up the air,
Turn it upside down.
They can paint a picture across the skies,
They can fill our heads with horrible lies.
They can burn us up,
They can drown us too.
They can do anything they want to do.
They don’t care about me,
They don’t care about you.
They tell us there is nothing we can do,
But they’re wrong.

The powers that be
Really don’t know me.
They think I am under control.
I use this guise to fool their eyes;
I’m a whistle blower, y’know!

Oh, powers that be,
You better watch your back;
There are thousands awakened each day.
We are spreading the truth
And tightening the noose,
And we’re planning to blow you away.

The rules and the laws you constantly change,
And the constitution that you’ve re-arranged,
And our bill of rights that you’ve flushed away,
Will all be restored, and we’ll make you pay.

Have you heard the word? It’s “revolution.”
And brother, it is the final solution.
We have our guns and our ammunition,
And we’re ready to remedy our condition.

We’re lining up across the nation
Revolt and reclaim is the latest sensation
We’re ready to remove this aberration
And the death of the powers that be, our mission.

Soon we will celebrate success,
And my friends, I must confess:
It is nice to be free,
Come join hands with me
Our country we must redress.

We will celebrate this day,
A new independence
As we prepare for our descendants
A better world in which to thrive
A beautiful world so full of life
With not one single person living in strife
With no fear of the gun, no fear of a knife
They can sleep in their beds and dream away,
For we have secured them another day,
And a long, and lovely tomorrow.

...Something to think about...

MORE GLOOM AND DOOM TO AID IN DIGESTION

2010-06-26T09:48:00.003-07:00

MORE GLOOM AND DOOM TO AID IN DIGESTION

The question people ask all the time is “When will the world end?” Well, some people say we are on the cusp of the Apocalypse. Others say we are in the midst of it, and any day, the Earth will explode. Some others might allude to the fact that the Anti-Christ is breathing down our necks. Still others will tell you that the “motherships” are well on their way to take us to a new utopia. However, if you look into the most popular and best-selling book of all times, The Bible, there is one statement we all seem to either forget, or we never looked in the first place. It tells us that “Only the Father (God) knows when the world will end. Not even Jesus knows, nor does the Holy Spirit.

Now, this is no religious lecture, by any means. I am simply pointing out another answer to the question posed at the beginning of this article. Additional support for this statement is, if one looks back through history, that people have been faring and predicting the end of the world forever.

I can understand, however, why we feel the world is on its last legs. And look – it is our own faults. I can’t begin to list the words that describe what happened (and is still happening) in the Gulf. Some words might be “horrendous,” “tragic,” “horrible,” “deadly,” just to name a very few. I like to add the word “travesty” and state that the responsible party has committed a grievous act of destruction and ruin not only to the Gulf of Mexico, but to the irreplaceable land, animals and lives that are ruined. Hundreds of thousands of people run the risk of illness, death, and other problems, not to mention the businesses, both corporate and small, private and family-owned companies – gone. This tragedy pulls our nation ever closer to martial law, becoming a police state, and having our rights and freedoms pulled out from under us like a rug. Not only that, but it feels a lot like another “false flag” operation, similar to 9/11.

And any arrogance or finger pointing by the responsible party is absolutely unforgivable. And they know who they are. I cannot recall another time in my 54 years of anyone trying their damndest to wiggle and squirm out from under the thumb of guilt. The facts are so damn blatant, still they struggle like a night crawler on the end of a fish hook.

Or, the story might be completely different. Could it be that BP was used as patsies for the purpose of deliberately spoiling our oceans for the elite’s goal of population reduction? Just like Lee Harvey Oswald was used as a patsy in the murder of President John F. Kennedy? This scenario does seem to make sense, and, as we are aware of, “the powers that be,” or TPTB for short, are becoming quite alarmed at the astounding rate of people becoming “awakened” and aware of the crimes and violations being perpetrated upon them by TPTB, the elite, the Illuminati, or whatever you choose to call them. One thing for sure, it is an evil process that we are beginning to understand, and TPTB are desperate to carry out their plans before the floor falls out from under them. And, I assure you, it will.

There is one more possible scenario that was bandied about in the news and abruptly dropped. Could it be that North Korea committed an act of sabotage against the United States? And we are, according to Kim Jong-Il, their sworn enemies. Apparently, the theory purports that one of North Korea’s subs fired a torpedo or missile at the Deepwater drilling site, causing an explosion, killing eleven of the workers, and thus spoiling our oceans, killing our economy, threatening our people, etcetera, and so forth. This theory is as far-fetched as a 450 yard homerun.

Now, it seems, we have another reason to add to all of the other reasons why the Earth is doomed: 2012, Nibiru, asteroids crashing into the earth, and the like. And as people awaken to the evil of TPTB, they need a clear path to the truth, and not a muddled, rocky and shadowy path that might mislead them.

CONCLUSION:

What will happen as a result of all the “stuff” going on in the world today? It certainly appears to be moving closer to Armageddon, doesn’t it? So many wars, so much destruction, climate change, oceans destroyed, life on land and sea threatened, and the “appearance” of the evil TPTB’s continued onslaught to world domination continuing.

We move from psychic prediction, to computerized simulations of the “end of days.” Everything points to gloom and doom. And I am not writing this saying they are right or wrong. I am as confused as the next guy when it comes to trying to figure out what is going on.

I choose, however, to hold fast to one statement that was written a long, long time ago: Only God the Father knows. No one else. Not psychics, not computers, not Nostradamus, no one else. I choose to hold fast to my faith in God. From my perspective, it would be impossible for me to even care about the world and its troubles if I chose to believe that there is nothing after this life. Why bother? We are all doomed and damned anyway. No, I couldn’t exist without my faith. Instead, I care very deeply for the Earth, and I feel the pain of what is being perpetrated upon the world by a handful of people seeking power, wealth and control. I am wide awake, my friends, and the smoke is clearing from before my eyes. And despite the troubles in the world that seems to be leading us all down the garden path, I see an Earth and a human race overcoming yet another difficult and threatening era.

And when God is ready, well, let it be…

2010: Expectations and the Stark Reality

2010-06-04T22:06:00.001-07:00

Well, here we are in June. According to the “Half Past Human” creator, Clif High, things should be shifting into high gear. And I want you to know, I believe him, or at least his scientific methods, and the overall direction he envisions in his writing. If you don’t know who or what I am talking about, you can just jump over to Hulu and watch the latest installment of Family Guy, or something. Christ – even Spongebob Squarepants has more sensible and moral themes than the drivel that passes for “family entertainment,” But, as they say, I digress. On the surface, the level where most humans take in their perception of the world, it looks like business as usual. Business… as… usual. Indeed, we are rolling into summer with smiles on our faces, getting ready to take that two week reprieve called a vacation from our federally supported prisons called work, and take the family to their favorite vacation spot, likely imagined and created by the Illuminatus alumni such as Mr. Disney, or to some magnificent tropical island getaway where murderers of young, beautiful women get to walk free (until, of course, he is caught red handed, literally, red with blood on his hands).

Okay, okay. I am rambling. But I am also upset. I am anxious. I am amazed that even though the big picture seems so gloriously “summer,” there are so many things happening that defy explanation. I first started to feel this anxiety when we witnessed a series of devastating earthquakes around the world that killed many, left countless homeless, and actually raised some islands in the pacific up by a number of feet. Then, I noticed a lot of new construction, right in my own town and surrounding area. Who can afford all of this construction and expansion? I wondered, until my eyes nearly popped out of my head. Almost all of the new construction was planned to be banks!! Banks!!! Not only this, but wow, let me tell you. Bank of America must be doing very well these days, because they are taking the place of gas stations – one on every intersection. While, at the same time, gas stations are shutting down, and I notice it is mostly Sunoco stations. Speaking of gas and oil, I was devastated when BP’s huge rig in the ocean burned and left an endless stream of oil at what, hundreds of thousands of gallons per day, fill our beautiful Gulf of Mexico with liquid death, choking the life out of the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia, and threatening Florida and the entire East Coast… And I read a story where the rig was supposedly sabotaged by North Korea, who, I might add, has been found to be responsible for the sinking of the South Korean ship… Can I take a breath?

Whew. Thanks. Oh, and not to mention that EVERY effort to cap the oil leak – every lame-brained attempt has failed. And (oh, how I hate to even allude to this) it is all because The Powers That Be (TPTB) don’t want it fixed. Let me say that again… They… don’t… want… it… fixed. The Illuminati dream of population reduction; reduction to 500,000,000 people. Or maybe it’s less. I don’t know, because I can’t think straight. But the big battle has begun. The Illuminists are scared. They know that the populace is awakening at an alarming rate – and believe me, that is a good thing. But are we awakening fast enough? God Bless us all. Are enough of us ready to fight the good fight?

Anybody who knows me, knows that I spend a lot of time on Facebook in conversation with like-minded individuals who are aware of the situation. People like Aaron McCollum, Laura Magdelena Eisenhower, Andy Basiago, John Ventre, and about 1600 other people who are not only awakened and aware, but who are ready to take this situation to the mat.

My anger and anxiety drive my speech. If we do not act soon we’ll be beyond the breach. The war has begun, the seventh seal broken. Awaken all you angels, the word has been spoken. We are fighting for our lives, not just some cheap token. Not of silver or gold, for the story has been told. With each breath, we cheat death and the evil tide desperately clawing to get inside. We are on top. The advantage is ours forever. Let’s step up the pace, and start this endeavor.

Readers, dear readers, when I am calmer, I will speak further. But now, I am simply exhausted…

2010: Expectations, Disappointments, Ufology, and Paradigm Change, Part I

2010-01-07T12:32:00.001-08:00

Well, we are coming to the end of not only another year, but also the end of a decade; the first decade in the new century. Now, you can’t help but recall how the century and the decade started. It began with a tumultuous attack on the United States. Yes, the World Trade Center. And, yes, I side with the 9/11 Truth Movement. Our country did change on that date. It began to move from a democratic republic to more of a fascist state. For the first eight years of this century, we had appalling leadership, war, and ignorance. Our current president, Barack Obama, has been left to pick up all of the pieces left behind by an irresponsible administration. This is a seemingly impossible job. However, despite his shortcomings, he is trying, at least I hope so. Hopefully, we have been intelligent and we have learned from our past mistakes. That is, we voters. We the people need to begin to take control of the processes that are involved in running our fine, beautiful country. We need to awaken to the fact that our existence is controlled by the people we supposedly elect, in the United States, and all around the world.

So, what are our expectations for the new decade which contains the year 2012? Well, let’s stick to the smaller expectations. What can we expect in 2010? Perhaps we can hope for disclosure? Or is hoping for disclosure just beating a dead horse? Most fairly intelligent individuals have already surmised that UFOs exist, and so, therefore, do aliens. Sightings in 2009 have surpassed any other year in the past. I am a MUFON field investigator, and it has been very busy for our organization. NUFORC (The National UFO Reporting Center) is swamped with reports, such that they are months behind in analyzing reports. Additionally, almost all of the reports I have reviewed have come from very credible and reliable people. My contention is, why do we even need disclosure? We all know that, in these times of “high homeland security,” we are likely not going to be granted disclosure. As I see it, it is not a problem. We know already. There is just too much data to support the existence of UFOs and Earth Visitors. By the way, the term “Earth Visitors” seems more appropriate, since the word alien seems to mean strange and different. Since we are on the verge of becoming galactic citizens, let’s be real. There are no aliens, per se, since we are all citizens of the galaxy. Yep.

So when it comes to disappointments, “no disclosure” will not be one of them. Allow me to throw out a few potential disappointments for the coming year, and for the coming decade. What about our president? What if he turns out to be no better than George W.? What about our constitutional freedoms? Are we going to see them dwindle even further? Are we going to be despondent when we wake up to a fascist regime running the country? What about the economy? Will we see our dollar replaced by some other bogus form of monies? Will they be backed by anything besides the paper mills? Will our national debt get so large that all of the other countries who purchased little chunks of our sovereign State come to collect? Perhaps we can all fit on the Hawaiian Islands; all 350 million of us, because after we pay off our debts, that is all we will have left. Oh, just some food for thought. If I were writing a book, the list might be longer – chapters longer.

Now, onward to the state of Ufology; a word that is still not in my word processor’s vocabulary. When I “right click” on the word, all I get is Urology. We’re not quite talking about the same unidentified objects, now, are we? Well, lately, I have read that President Obama is not interested in, or does not want to disclose the truth regarding the alien presence here on Earth, and around our solar system, and, of course, the galaxy. My feelings are “Who needs his majesty’s proclamation? Obviously, we, the men and women who experience the phenomenon, know what we have seen, and are seeing! As I said earlier, we don’t need no stinkin’ disclosure. Even though our evidence consist of personal experiences, circumstantial evidence, and shaky, blurred, but absolutely awesome photographs and video, we know what we saw. We know what we are seeing.

Paradigm Change:

I highlighted this section because it is of the utmost importance. We really need to come together and define exactly what, in general categories, Paradigm Change means. As I mentioned earlier, the concept of Paradigm Change is a unique, personal, and existential thought, idea or definition. Overall, we need to come together and fight for the best change for we, the potential extermination candidates of the elite and deceitful leaders of the world.

Our current paradigm has lost focus, and has become a self-serving, stingy and selfish world. The elite and the controllers of the world qualify for the above description. Then, you have those associates of the elite that are working for the cause, and have a rough idea of what is going on. After that, you have the workers that are working for what they are told the cause is – some elaborate cover story to keep them working hard, but to also be kept in the dark about the real, evil intentions.

Then, there are the “sheeple.” People who are unaware of what is going on, and who are invested in what they are told reality is. These folks watch the five-o’clock news, and game shows, and reality shows, and think the president and his delightful cabinet are working for them. They think that we are fighting wars for the protection of our country, to fight terrorism, and to defend our “allies” in the world. These people might listen if you or I sat them down and attempted to educate them, but they would probably call you a “kook,” a “paranoid nut,” or the like.

Then there are us. We are the soldiers, the paradigm drifters, the ground crew, or the light workers. Whatever name you give us, we are the same and all of the above. We have overcome the binds of deception and deceit, we rose above the news, CNN, and the commercial pabulum we were fed for years. We are aware of what is going on in the world. We can define the word Bilderberger. We know who is a member of the Trilateral Commission. We are aware of what the Illuminati has planned for us – extinction! And we are growing in numbers. We represent a real and potentially deadly adversary of the Illuminati and the elite. There are perhaps a few hundred of them, but there are millions of us, and the numbers are growing.

Next article, I will discuss the ways and possibilities of Paradigm Change. I welcome readers to get in touch with me. Explain your definition of paradigm change. And we will have a good time. A blast – I promise. God bless all of you, and we will talk again next time. I love you all.

Winter Break

2009-12-16T08:14:00.000-08:00

I know it is a few days early, but the Shifter has informed me that he wishes a winter holiday. Therefore, we shall return after January 1st, 2010 -- not that far off -- with more mind challenging (??!!) articles and opinions. The shifter says we might even have guest writers once in a while. Sounds like a plan. So, until then, here's wishing you a very blessed and safe holiday wherever you are, near or far,and I hope to see you on the other side of January 1st. Sheesh! I hope we are all still here! Oh well, Happy holidays from the Shifter, also!

The Day of Disclosure!

2009-11-27T20:40:00.000-08:00

There was excitement in the air. People were waiting, with racing hearts, tensions were high. Disclosure was going to take place today. Oh, the glory! We will finally know for absolutely sure that we are not alone in the universe! It is a day for international celebration and brother and sister hood. Nations will lay down their arms. “Little red buttons,” still awaiting the firing sequence to be digitally entered will be dismantled. Hooray! We were to learn that we are not alone in the universe. And here we are, well, broken-hearted.

Nothing happened. November 27, 2009 was predicted to be the big day, but oh, the tragedy. Nothing happened. No disclosure. Not even a leaked document, a secret phone call, or even a hoax.

Think about it. Do we really need the president, or some foreign dignitary, or a representative from the Vatican to tell us what we already know and feel in our hearts? I think not, with a capital N-O-T. Since the first day of modern historical recording of UFO events, which is Roswell, 1947, those of us who had or have an ounce of common sense can say with confidence that “they’re here,” and they’ve been here longer, perhaps, than we have.

Now, I am definitely not a supporter of the theory that we were “seeded” by aliens, and carefully developed as if in some cosmic laboratory for some devious or even benign reason. As a matter of fact, I am a firm believer in God, the Creator of all things. But let it be said that we would be quite the pompous and self-adoring race if we were to assume that God did not create life elsewhere in the universe, on Jupiter, or anywhere else for that matter. As a matter of fact, we aren’t that special at all. Nor is the fact that life evolved to such a “highly developed” state even something we should be focusing on. The universe is teaming with life. Perhaps the” Multiverse” is teaming with life. We should, however, feel gratified that we haven’t been subsumed or taken over by some sinister alien race who wants to use us as dietary supplements, a la “V.”

In our minds, we are that special situation – that “one in a billion” chance of a creature evolving to such an advanced state. But when we look at the infinite space that surrounds us, the seemingly endless array of stars, galaxies and planes of existence that share our sense of being, well, it would be like assuming that on a particular beach, out of all the grains of sand on that beach, only ONE granule of sand is host to a primitive bacterial life form. Exactly: just downright stupid to think that way. Well, so it is in the universe. And common sense will tell you that.

Taking into consideration the fact that life is abundant “out there,” as well as right here (on different vibrational planes of existence, if you will), then we don’t need no stinkin’ disclosure. Taking into consideration the number of sightings that go unexplained, and the fact that approximately 70% of the people living in the United States believe that we are not alone, we don’t need anyone to tell us we’re not alone. We already know that!

One must ask the question, then…

Why do we need to hear that we are not alone from anyone, let alone the president or the religious leader of a particular faith? Well, we certainly do not. We need to trust our instincts, and if we want, we can weigh in on the data, if that makes one feel more “anchored” in statistical or scientific fact. My gut tells me we are not alone. I have seen too much, and talked to too many people who have seen UFOs, been abducted, or spent a major portion of their lives researching the phenomena to think otherwise. Call my evidence circumstantial. Call me unscientific. I believe there are far more mysteries that have yet to be discovered than mysteries we have solved. And, the door has only been cracked. So, Mr. President, Dear Pope, Exalted Emir of some country somewhere, I will trust my gut and continue on trusting it. We are not alone. And on this day, you did not tell us that. And it doesn’t matter. Save your breath, save your expert’s breath.

Ah, we are not alone!

Bless you all, my readers. Tell all your friends you know the truth!

2009-11-18T08:55:00.000-08:00

I tend to side with those individuals who say that 2012 will be a time of spiritual and cultural change. One has only to listen to the latest Bill Deagle interview on Project Camelot (www.projectcamelot.com) to understand that God is out there in his heaven, and because he has given us free will, it is up to us to make the changes necessary to thwart the onset of "The End," as it has recently been commercially "pushed" upon the general public in such films as "2012."

Now understand, I am not saying that there aren't changes that will take place in the physical world, but, as Dr. Deagle so states it, humankind must undergo a change of heart to make any change, to shift the paradigm in the right direction, and literally save our lives and our souls from the "bitter" end.

Remember, with any type of change in one system, there are changes that ripple out from the source, in all, changing the various interdependent systems in the same general direction, hence, "paradigm shift." And for we humans, it can, and must, be a positive one. There are several classes of "awake and aware" people helping and hoping to install the knowledge and information necessary to make the change. these are the teachers, or the ingredients of change. There are many, and they come in the form of revelationists, whistleblowers, information managers, and of course the "disseminators," in which many of us fit.

But remember this -- without the catalyst, no change is affected. The workers do not have a motivational means to get the message out. These individuals are called "paradigm drifters." They are the "meta-workers," if you will, who, from their unique perspective above and between the paradigms, can see the connections that exist, the connections that need to be made, the ones that are counterproductive, and finally, the skill of knowing how to catalyze and get the process going. These individuals are rare and few, intelligent beyond their own knowing, and fragile. Fragile only because in the realm of the collective unconscious, these very unique individuals siphon off the vital information and processes we CANNOT see, and make them visible. It is then up to us to put these connections into operation. The paradigm drifter holds the responsibility of making the "sales pitch," if you will, potent, pertinent, and easily understood. The indormation is packaged in rhyme, song, or through other facets of the creative arts, and through science, psychology, and other influential means to the end.

And, I am lucky to know one or two paradigm drifters -- very important peoplewho have entered my life, and without whom my efforts and the efforts of all "ground crews" would be fruitless. It is our altruistic task, through love, kindness and understanding to keep our catalyst doing what they do best -- effect the change, inspire, and attend to us, the disseminators of the data necessary to affect change.

So it is with the paradigm drifters in mind that I give you the latest channeled work of prose I have written. For it indeed involves a "leap of faith," in God, each other, the paradigm drifters, and the final result -- a "changed for the better" world that will herald in the era of brotherhood, peace, love and equality, and vanquish the Powers that BE (TPTB) to the fringes, or better yet, Hell, if you believe in one (...I do...):

The Leap of Faith…

I am standing on the edge of a precipice
And the depth is quite absurd
The distance we have to travel
Begins with a single word
The air is clear from horizon to zenith
And I can see where I have to travel
And if we can’t bridge this gap together
Our plans will just unravel
From end to end on the canyon’s edge
We stand with our hands entwined
And the goal of our concerted effort
Is the result of becoming one mind
So now we take the leap together
And as we reach terminal speed
The door to the new paradigm is opened
As we all start anew, indeed

M. A. Melton, 2009

God bless all that read this, and even those that don't. Those paradigm drifters are indeed clever. In the end, the world will be an incredibly better place. I can feel it...

We'll talk again soon!

To Save The World, Stop Planning It: 2012

2009-11-08T11:17:00.000-08:00

“To Save the World, Stop Planning it’s End”

My wonderful, brilliant friend came up with this slogan. Let me tell you – it is perhaps one of the most important statements I have read of late. Do you recall that old saying “be careful what you wish for?” Now, consider this – all the hype about 2012 – what if we are setting ourselves up for destruction? Now there’s a neat new concept… or is it really new? Just because the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, do you think that has any significance? The Mayans were intelligent, and resourceful, and perhaps even an advanced people for their day. But do you really think they were prophets? With a better insight than, let’s say, the Creator of the Universe (if you believe that way, which I certainly do…)? Take some comfort, if you will, in the fact that somewhere in the Bible, and I cannot quote it down to the verse, line and letter, I think it was somewhere in the New Testament, that Christ said that no man knows the day, the time or the hour, “not even Me,” said Christ, humbly, “…but only the Father.” I do not think the Mayans were pompous in that regard. They were, in fact, extremely fearful of their gods, and therefore, it is not likely they would have blasphemed against them.

Now, think of the ridiculous for a moment. What if the guy who was in charge of etching out the calendar simply woke up on the 22nd of December and said “Screw it! I don’t feel like writing an old dumb calendar anymore. I think I will begin writing that romantic historical novel…” Well, yeah, it could happen.

So who would be gullible enough to buy into the hype of a world that will suddenly and permanently fall into disarray and disharmony on December 21, 2012? Better yet, who would be sinister and devious enough to perpetrate such a scenario onto the innocent couch spuds and sleeping beauties out there in the real world? Well, if you know the workings of my inner sanctum, you don’t have to break a sweat thinking about who I’d blame. Realize, however, that I am only playing “devil’s advocate” here, because I do not claim to have the powers of the third eye either.

But what if the powers that be (TPTB) know mankind so well, because it is questionable that they share our genetic heritage, and of course, they control the governments and leaders of the world, that they have put into action “the final plan.” They decided that they should just drop a few linguistic and historical bombs, sit back, light the Cuban cigars, sip chilled Cointreau, and watch us destroy ourselves! Well, that could happen, too.

Now, we, the gullible are chewing and digesting this planted information. Some of us are so gullible that we have decided we do not want to see the end, so we will just take ourselves out before it happens. Others are planning their underground shelters, and still others are developing doomsday viruses, because they figure, well, it’s all gonna end anyway. Still others are warning humankind that there is still time to save the planet. Global warming becomes the evil the world must conquer. We all start going green. And, the green starts pouring into the bank accounts of the rich and obscenely wealthy supporters of TPTB. Meanwhile, the middle class dies out, and the chasm between the filthy rich and the dirt poor widen to the point we cannot even see them across the canyon.

Still others relinquish whatever they have left of their morals, self-respect, family ties, or anything else of personal value, because they want to “party hearty” up until the last moment. And the wars grow in ferocity, and intra- and inter-cultural hate and prejudice just grow out of control, as brother rises up against brother, and children against their parents, and, well, you can imagine the rest.

And suddenly, we wake up and it’s December 22nd, 2012. The Earth is still spinning, the moon still shines in the night sky, the Sun breaks the darkness of the night and spills itself across the chilly landscape only to find that we have practically annihilated ourselves out of existence.

Wow, now. Don’t we feel stupid? Ha! The joke’s on us. TPTB really got our goat this time. Yes, just like they did in Y2K, and 1984, and countless other doomsdays that have come and gone with nary a bang, but just a whimper, as the human race recovers from its embarrassment and naivety.

Oh, I predict we will all survive 2012, but only if we learn by being aware of our history, and by knowing the fact that anyone or any group can make a prediction about what might happen in the future. Anyone can misconstrue history, and like statistics, they can make history say whatever they want it to say.

We must be our own teachers and our own students. We must be each others teachers and students. We must arm ourselves with the truth, with the "heart" and less with the head. Unconditional love and acceptance is the strongest weapon we have against TPTB, and fear is their best weapon.

But, hey, I am only playing devil’s advocate.

And, as my good friend and colleague Shanona Ryder said:

“To save the planet, stop planning it! 2012. It makes perfect sense to me.

Love to each and every one of you.

Michael

Meta-Poetry: The Shifter

2009-11-04T11:29:00.000-08:00

If you look to the right on this page, you will see a symbol that looks like a Rorschach inkblot, but in vivid color. That is the symbol of "The Shifter," the subject of this Meta-Verse. The Shifter might be characterized as my alter ego, the outgoing, energetic changer of paradigms and perception. Please read and enjoy the story of... "The Shifter..."

The Shifter
From paradigm to paradigm…

It starts like a wisp, a puff of gray smoke
Like a dust devil drifting across your mind
It urges you, chides you, tugs at your brain
Warning you not to be left behind

Then thunder and lightning bouncing along
The cracks and the crevices along the very edge
Like a smoldering broiling brew of a song
That forms the prototype of the brand new pledge

You peer out from between the jagged edged slits
Between the dust and the wind and gust-driven stones
You shield your eyes, irritated and red
You notice there are others; you’re not alone

This sense – it’s been building for a very long time
That we’re coming to the end of this old paradigm
The intensity is building, the tsunami is roiling
To cling to this reality would be such a crime

The Maker of things from beginning to end
Is making it known He’s just round the bend
And there’s time, if you will, to cure the world’s ills
But the message is raw; refine it and send

Now, there’s one comes before, he appears as the drifter
With rucksack and walking stick he appears to be ill
Don’t address him as sir, master or mister,
His friends and his foes simply call him the Shifter

He’s John the Baptist of this new century
But in telling that story, it’s just half the tale
He brings tidings of joy, warns of destruction
And warn you “Stand clear,” fear the belly of the whale

From eon to eon, from plane to plane
He moves the paradigms to and fro
He throws them around like juggling pins
The B’ak’tuns come and the B’ak’tuns go

He laughs in the face of twenty-twelve
As if it were some cosmic parody
Then he crushes it to dust with his bare, sinewy hands
And composes a lilting melody

So, there’s nothing to fear as the days come to end
He knows better than most it’s all just a trend
He will say “When one day ends, one will always begin,”
“Time is too thick, too wieldy to mend.”

“It’s easier,” he’ll say “to just let time be.”
The logic is simple, the concept so true
“Time tends to bog you down,” he’ll complain
“Then it’s so damn tough to undo.”

Now you know the Shifter, he’s tried and he’s true
Just an entity created to help all you move
When the paradigms shift, some get caught off guard
And in the cracks and crevices there is no groove

Latch on to his cause; be in the know
“Oh, the times they are a changin’,” the old song goes
Even Dylan knew back then so long ago
It’s good to have your ducks in nice, ordered rows

Subscribe to his news, he brings tidings of joy
Have tickets in hand as you embark on the trip
The paradigm train is leaving the station
And the Shifter will make sure your time will never slip away…

Ryder/Melton Productions, 2009

Thanks for reading. Please leave your comments. I am still accepting poetry and prose for the blog.

Guest Meta-Poetry Volume #1

2009-11-02T18:53:00.000-08:00

Well, it is time to publish our very first guest meta-poet. His name is Brian Hanley, and he sends this beautiful work-in-progress to me via our friendly relationship on Facebook. I give you "The Dance of the Souls:"

The Dance of the Souls
Written and Copyright 2009
By Brian Hanley

A familiar feeling

As you walk into a room

A rendezvous with deja-vu

As your world begins to bloom.

Not quite sure where its headed

And yet you're compelled to believe

That the Universe is preparing itself

For what it came to achieve...

The Ether carries an emotional swirl

Then provokes intense curiosity as to what may unfurl

A spinning vortex, an internal net,

Providing a dance floor you wont soon forget...

Brian leaves me hungry for more, and more we shall receive. He tells me this is a work in progress, and I hope when the finished product is created, it will again, finally in it's completion, grace our pages again...

Boy, two posts in one day. Well, I guess the muses are at work!

Peace and love,

Michael

"Meta-Poetry" is the new system of awakening...

2009-11-02T14:47:00.000-08:00

In the last few segments, I introduced the idea of Metaphysical Poetry. In a nutshell, it is a method of awakening through extended metaphor and subconscious themes and allegory that spans an individual's sense of reality and being. There are many many great meta-Poets out there, and it is my intention, for a while, to feature the creations of my readers and those wishing to have their works posted on my humble blog.

For now, I would like to post another one of my "Meta-Poetic" efforts entitled "This is Shocking News."

This Is Shocking News

The drift of an icon while I sit here

Moves by my head, no fear

As I prepare myself and the ones I love

For a push from a paradigm coming from above

It is marked with the grey hue

Of a time and a place long overdue

Like a bill you just found

Which slipped under the fridge

And the collector is fast approaching the bridge

While you grab all you can to remember this by

But there is no time to say goodbye

Your ethereal fish are going to fry

When, with sudden cause, and from down the block

A single horseman arrives

He delivers a message with such a shock

The impact it would cause might smite thousands of lives

But you worry not, for you hold the key

And you move on to the new reality

A paradigm bold, a process so old

A repeating theme for centuries foretold

It’s not from the Mayans, or Toltecs or Druids

That will drain the essential bodily fluids

While you grab all you can to remember this by

But there is no time to say goodbye

They ask you to dance, well, you might as well try.

Now, with all the strength of Paul Revere

You jump up to the next level here

But there’s nothing but space here in this place

Plenty of room, and it’s filled with gloom

And your senses tell you that all are doomed

While the sun is eclipsed by an unseen world

And a flag so strange begins to unfurl

As the masses line up for inoculation

And a flyer selling the latest revelation

With a pocket full of Euros and a hand full of Yen,

You stroll back to the market,

And do it again

You take no time to say goodbye

As you stuff all your dollars

Into the empty pockets

Of the next guy

M. A. Melton 2009

So, there you have it. Another example for all of you wanna-be Meta-Poets. I'd really like to hear from you. Submit to my e-mail address, (mufonmike@comcast.net) or friend me on Facebook (Michael Austin Melton) and submit through the E-mail system there. Your work will be reviewed by myself, or my writing partner, Shanona Ryder. It will be posted, however. it is not our intent to critique, as meta-poetry cancome in many diverse forms. Please don't hesitate to participate!

'Till next time, Yours with love,

More Metaphysical Poetry...

2009-10-26T20:11:00.000-07:00

Now, my dear readers comes the real art. My great friend and fellow writer, artist, actress and Cabaret Singer, Shanona Ryder, has offered up this piece of meta-poetry entitled "Where We Are." As with the earlier piece, I invite you to read it, taking it in, and like a fine wine, swish it around inside the taste buds of the pineal, and allow yourself to think. Let awareness find you, awaken, see the deeper meaning in "things" and the world around you. Now, for more Metaphysical Poetry...

WHERE WE ARE
Shanona Ryder, 2009

call it a circle

call it a square

meet in the middle

call it somewhere

over a rainbow

inside a ditch

we share the hollow

still caught by a witch

for a

no reason at all

when in this common fall

we gnaw at the cave

ourselves out of the grave

and in this parallel place

beside ourselves

and in the worlds

a soul still stands

sifting, shifting

drifting

and among everything there is ground

Wow...
It is stirring. At least it stirs my own creativity and inner eye a bit to read the poem. Shanona is quite an accomplished writer. Now, I will make this offer: If you wish to have your poem or piece of prose published, I would be so happy to do so. Just make sure your overall theme is paradigm change. You can express it as loosely or as tightly as you desire. This is not for critique, or a prize, unless you consider having your piece of work proudly hailed as "Metaphysical Poetry," and of course, a hearty congrats and applause by all of my faithful readers, which, at this point, probably amounts to me, Shanona, and well, you, if you are responding to this request.

Simply send your poem as a Microsoft Word, or Rich Text Format, WordPerfect, or one of the compatible Unix office suite formats, and attach it to an e-mail addressed to:

mufonmike@comcast.net

I will personally review each and everyone, and if I can detect the theme of paradigm shift, I will publish your cherished Metaphysically Poetic creation in a future blog issue.

I want to personally thank Shanona Ryder for her continued wonderful support and for sharing her exceptional talent with me and with all of you. Shan, you're the best, my dear!

So, until next time, God Bless, and Namaste...

Metaphysical Poetry

2009-10-26T11:31:00.000-07:00

Oh, hello, everyone! I thought I'd post a little something extra I and my writing partner are working on. It's called "Metaphysical Poetry." I'm not going to get into the details of how i came up with that name, but I am asking you to enjoy, and THINK about the poem; what it means, and the implications. Whoa. Am I asking you to be a bit philosophical? Yes, I am. Please enjoy our first work, entitled "Cats."

CATS…
Ryder/Melton Productions

I dream of cats...
No, not the musical
Andrew Lloyd Webre
Do you know Alfred Webre?
They're both sort of metaphysical men...
I dream of cats...
Pitter patter
On a cold tin roof
Cats!
They're from another world,
Much like this one
Yes, large cats.
They walk their liquid dogs down the street
Maybe crystal or ice
Have they found Atlantis?
Oh my God, did you hear about that praying mantis?
No!
Ice: It's what they're made of,
But they aren't melting.
I feel like belting!
They have big EYES
And they look like my runaway kitty who followed me HOME!
Only bigger... and taller... and thinner…
And when i think about it, my stomach spins.
And yet,
I kinda wanna grin;
It sounds absolutely ridiculous…

The" Interconnectedness" of Things

2009-10-25T13:06:00.000-07:00

You know, I would get nowhere without my dear friend who inspires me every time we talk. Today, we were talking about a few varied subjects, and then we kind of began to focus on how so many things that happen in life seem to be interconnected in purpose. When we look back, we can easily trace the logic through our history; how this job led to that job, which made me take that course, which got me that position... wow. The list is endless, and continuous.

This continuity is also external. Take, for instance, the current rash of television shows that feature paranormal subject matter, advanced abilities, mind manipulation, and even extraterrestrials. Shows like "Dollhouse," "Fringe," "Flash Forward," "Medium," and about a dozen other shows on television, and add to that all of the Cable channel specials and series that have similar topics as it's focus, and we begin to see a pattern emerge.

Now, add to that the movies that are coming forth from Hollywood soon: "2012," "The Fourth Kind," amd "Paranormal Activity," just to name a few, and the remake of that old '80's science fictiion series, "V" is making a comeback.

So, what does it all boil down to? What is the interconnectedness we strive to see? What does it all mean? Well, my friend and I were thinking it might be a foretelling of events to come. Strange and bizarre events, supernatural occurrences and alien interaction or intervention might be just around the corner. we are being desensitized, perhaps, in an effort to ease the shock when changes take place? well, your guess is as good as mine, or my friends.

Because, the idea isn't that something is about to happen, what you should realize is that to keep one's eyes open, to be aware, awake and in tune with the here and now is perhaps the greatest skill of all. To remain in the know about current events, even what is playing in the movies, and being able to detect patterns, trends, new ways of thinking or relating, well, one might say, to stay sharp, is how we stay on top of things, and how we keep ourselves ready, for whatever might be coming over the hill. Next time, I will present part two of this discussion. I would like to continue on this track. If you have any ideas of your own, please comment. Control the discussion with your thoughts and impressions. I invite you to interact... To be awake and aware.

Oh, and please: Do me a favor and check out my friend's site -- http://shanonatime.com/ and check out all of Shanona's excellent videos and links. Get in the know, and start your journey at Shanonatime TV.

God bless all of you, my readers. we'll talk soon.

Complexity and the Big Picture

2009-09-14T16:05:00.000-07:00

By Michael A. Melton

I was talking with a very good friend of mine today, and our conversation wandered from a personal exchange of “how are you” and “hope you’re well” to something that seems to be both our passions: the seamy underbelly of society. We covered many topics related, and examples we’ve encountered in our daily lives. The most interesting thing I think we both realized is that, much like a pyramid, the higher one goes in society, the deeper one mires one’s self in the disgust and evils inherent in the perception of earthly power and greed. This is, in my estimation, an across-the-board assumption. The “sleeping American,” or for that matter, world citizen, the average Joe and Jane who gather ‘round the telly to watch the latest reality show actually are completely out of touch with the reality that surrounds them.

Retrospectively, I seem to remember those so called innocent days when I really thought our government was working for us, and big companies and organizations were in touch with all of us. Believe it or not, I recall beginning to wake up in my early twenties, when I was shopping for groceries. I went into the laundry detergent isle and was looking for detergent for my wash. Brand A had “special Ingredients,” that boosted whites, and kept colors bright. The package was colorful, the label and slogan cute and catchy. I read the ingredients, then, I looked at the price. I was floored. I looked further, and found a detergent for 6 dollars less, and it was a semi-well known brand, with a less flashy label, no slogan, and when I read the ingredients – hey, wait-a-minute! They were identical to the high-priced alternative. And wait – they were manufactured in the same place, by the same company! Yes, that was my first inkling that things weren’t what they seem. And yet, doesn’t that simple example seem to explain our society today?

This is why I see the need for a new Paradigm. I, for one, am very tired of dealing with the evils and seedy underbelly of this particular way of doing things. When God put us here, remember, He wanted us to live in Eden. But, as the story goes, man’s greed and gullibility led directly to his downfall and out of the garden he went – we went. Now it is up to us to wake up, and identify the evils, the deceptions and the lies, pervasive in the world today, from top to bottom, and eradicate them. In doing so, we create a world of peace, unconditional love and acceptance, responsibility, freedom to believe, or not, and most of all, we bring into conjunction a single consciousness; strong unity in mind and spirit. Man will now be the watchdog of other men. We must become each other’s teachers. We must all become students. We must come to the understanding that, as someone is reaching down to help us up, we in turn are reaching down for the hand of the person below us. And, for those of you familiar with the Bible, another passage reads “God helps those who help themselves.” Enough said. Now, folks, the alarm is screaming in the distance. It is time to become awake and aware, consciousness enhanced, and responsible for ourselves, and our brothers and sisters. Because the genetic record demonstrates one thing: We are all one big happy family.

"Awakening, Awareness, and Consciousness"

2009-09-06T11:12:00.000-07:00

I am a chronic Facebook, well, I won’t say addict, but let’s say I spend a lot of time scrolling and commenting and supporting. I find it a very convenient way to make new friendships, and also to feel the pulse of the people, at least those on my friends list. Recently, I took it upon myself to start a new supportive and informative group called “The Awake and Aware Consciousness Group.” And yes, Kerry and Bill, I “borrowed” the first part of the name from your immensely important conference coming up soon in Burbank, California. Actually, I was hoping I might boost ticket sales a bit by advertising Project Camelot and the conference in the group itself. Hope I have helped, as that was my intention.

But, as they say, I digress…

I wanted to start a group that might serve to pull together all of those individuals of like mind who have information or questions, interests or concerns about anything and everything related to the term “Paradigm Shift.” That would include, but is not limited to, Ufology, Abduction, 2012, Consciousness, New World Order, Illuminati, Patriotism, 9/11, or anything that the individual thinks might fit into that category. To say the least, I am duly impressed with the turnout. In under one week we have two-hundred and seventy members, and it grows by a few every day. This is so very good! I was unsure that anyone would be interested in joining, but what a surprise I have gotten. Many individuals have much to share regarding their thoughts and feelings, and a few are regular contributors to updated news, articles of interest, and events. We have, for all intent and purpose, a real live little self-sustaining community of like minded individuals that are caring and sharing and doing all of the things required to move the paradigm shift forward (Ha! What about that segway?). This blog, and a future website of the same name being conceived and created as we write this, will be a way station of sorts, a kind of news stand, or a place to hang out with your virtual cup of coffee and peruse all of the exciting events going on around us pertaining to the name and theme of the group: Paradigm Change. This certainly does not mean “New World Order,” as this is an evil and derogatory term. We grow tired of the masses being controlled by a few arrogant bastards who think it is their nefarious duty to steer mankind into disaster. We resist the seductive call to numb the mind with trivialities, mindless entertainment, commercialism, the destruction of the concept of God, the denial that we humans are spiritual and connected, and that we share a consciousness that, one drawn together, will utterly obliterate every ugly and disgusting face, family and fortune associated with the imprisonment of mankind.

A warning: We are awakening. We are becoming aware. We realize there is power in numbers, and that we share a common consciousness. Oh, mighty “Powers That Be,” this is your only warning. Mankind will eventually take you out, and it won’t be pretty. Yes, there will be struggle, and there will be losses, but we are prepared to take all of the knocks, because, as you well know, good always triumphs over evil. And now, let it begin…
