Conspiracy of Science - Earth is in fact growing

2009-05-07T00:19:00.000-07:00

Proponents of an expanding Earth hypothesis claim that the explanation for the position and movement of continents and the appearance of new crustal material at mid-ocean ridges is that Earth's volume is increasing. Modern scientific evidence does not support this idea, rather plate tectonics is almost universally accepted as correct. The small number of proponents of an expanding earth claim that the continents drifted away from each other because of further expansion at the rip-zones, where oceans currently lie. This contradicts the scientific consensus plate tectonics theory by stating that significant destructive plate boundaries do not exist.

On January 5, 1904, Lizzie J. Magie, a Quaker woman from Virginia, received a patent for a board game. Lizzie Magie belonged to a tax movement led by Philadelphia-born Henry George; the movement supported the theory that the renting of land and real estate produced an unearned increase in land values that profited a few individuals (landlords) rather than the majority of the people (tenants). Henry George proposed a single federal tax based on land ownership believing a single tax would discourage speculation and encourage equal opportunity.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

2009-04-22T22:21:00.000-07:00

A craniosacral therapy session involves the therapist placing their hands on the patient, which they say allows them to tune into what they call the craniosacral system.[1] By gently working with the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia, the restrictions of nerve passages are said to be eased, the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord can be optimized, and misaligned bones are said to be restored to their proper position.

Ode to Jordan Maxwell, David Icke and The Egg Man

2009-04-22T17:07:00.000-07:00

It’s all in my head.
Echoes of lessons learned.
Like shape-shifters chase beings from the stars
And cultivate this planet from incubators lost over time.

Their children are inbred with frog-like fingers.
Nocturnal rage and the honey-comb mind of the traumatized,
Hidden behind the exodus of the holocaust,
Enslaved and programmed to kill.

They feast upon the blood of the chosen,
Forced to freeze in fear while emitting rare secretions.
-Something like a Skeksis
I practice forgiveness.

Sin is ancient and I don’t believe in it.
Unable sneak past the circle around the yin/yang,
All of life is purposeful and good.
Let us pray.

Open the mind of the ultimate consciousness,
By practicing patients, compassion and self-respect to achieve ascension,
We can set God free from this schizophrenic reality.

Like a kaleidoscope we demonstrate free will and are Him completely.
May peace be with you,
And love eternal.

After much research--working with archaeologists, Egyptologists, geologists, and theologians--filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici concluded that the Exodus took place hundreds of years earlier than thought. With a new timetable, Jacobovici reexamined artifacts and discovered that the traditional consensus on the date was reached without reference to Judaic texts that record the oral traditions.
