<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #333399;">The          Maji will discuss with you important information for personal upliftment          and overall spiritual re-kindling of the awareness of who it is you already          are, and what you are becoming, using a three-fold set of conversations,          addressing, spirit, mind, and body, in each appointment session. Starting          with a conversation between souls, the maji will address issues on an          intuitive and psychic level relating to the soul mission and the individual&#8217;s          current state of &#8220;energy body&#8221; awareness.</span> <span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #333399;">In          the second conversation, between the minds, The Maji will use divination          and the Tarot to answer questions and help with decision-making concerning          issues relating to health,relationships, and career. The third conversation          is a conversation of sonic attunement between the individual&#8217;s body and          vibrational energy set in motion with a rattle. Most effective with the          individual present in the same room during the attunement, this process          gives the individual&#8217;s body permission to let go of things on a vibrational          level that an individual may require.</span><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span> <span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #333399;">Don&#8217;t          miss the opportunity to take in this important personal information, drastically          improve the quality of your life, and gain insight to the process which          defines your life experiences, and empowers you to create and inhabit          the reality for which you are longing. </span></td>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The peak oil story has not been nullified by the scramble to unload every asset for cash &#8212; including whomping gobs of oil contracts &#8212; during this desperate season of bank liquidation. The main implication of the peak oil story is that we won&#8217;t be able to generate the kind of economic growth that defined our way of life for decades because the primary energy resources needed for it will be contracting.<br />
Just as global oil production peaked, our economy evolved into a morbid hypertrophy, and the chief manifestation of it was the suburban sprawl-building fiesta that has now climaxed in the real estate bust. By the early 21st century, when so much American manufacturing had been swapped out to Asia, there was no business left except sprawl-building &#8212; a manifold tragedy which wrecked the banks that financed it, and left the ordinary people mortgaged to it with ruinous liabilities.<br />
That economy is now in its death throes. The &#8220;normality&#8221; it represents to so many Americans is gone and can&#8217;t be brought back, no matter how wistfully we watch it recede. Even so, it was obviously not good for the country. The terrain of North America has been left scarred by unlovable objects and baleful futureless vistas that, from now on, will shed whatever pecuniary value they once had. It represents the physical counterpart to the financial mess that has been left to the young generations to clean up &#8212; and the job will take a very long time.<br />
We have to, so to speak, get to place mentally where we can face the kinds of change that are now necessary and unavoidable. We&#8217;re not there yet. It&#8217;s not clear whether the elected new national leadership knows just how severe the required changes will really be. Surely the public would be shocked to grasp what&#8217;s in store. Probably the worst thing we can do now would be to mount a campaign to stay where we are, lost in raptures of happy motoring and blue-light-special shopping.<br />
The economy we&#8217;re evolving into will be un-global, necessarily local and regional, and austere. It won&#8217;t support even our current population. This being the case, the political fallout is also liable to be severe. For one thing, we&#8217;ll have to put aside our sentimental fantasies about immigration. This is almost impossible to imagine, since that narrative is especially potent among the Democratic Party members who are coming in to run things. A tough immigration policy is exactly the kind of difficult change we have to face. This is no longer the 19th century. The narrative has to change.<br />
The new narrative has to be about a managed contraction &#8212; and by &#8220;managed&#8221; I mean a way that does not produce civil violence, starvation, and public health disasters. One of the telltale signs to look for will be whether the Obama administration bandies around the word &#8220;growth.&#8221; If you hear them use it, it will indicate that they don&#8217;t understand the kind of change we face.<br />
It is hugely ironic that the US automobile industry is collapsing at this very moment, and the ongoing debate about whether to &#8220;rescue&#8221; it or not is an obvious kabuki theater exercise because this industry is hopeless. It is headed into bankruptcy with one hundred percent certainty. The only thing in question is whether the news of its death will spoil the Christmas of those who draw a paycheck from it, or those whose hopes for an easy retirement are vested in it. But American political-economy being very Santa Claus oriented for recent generations, the gesture will be made. A single leaky little lifeboat will be lowered and the chiefs of the Big Three will be invited to go for a brief little row, and then they will sink, glug, glug, glug, while the rusty old Titanic of the car industry slides diagonally into the deep behind them, against a sickening greenish-orange sunset backdrop of the morbid economy.<br />
A key concept of the economy to come is that size matters &#8212; everything organized at the giant scale will suffer dysfunction and failure. Giant companies, giant governments, giant institutions will all get into trouble. This, unfortunately, doesn&#8217;t bode so well for the Obama team and it is salient reason why they must not mount a campaign to keep things the way they are and support enterprises that have to be let go, including many of the government&#8217;s own operations. The best thing Mr. Obama can do is act as a wise counselor companion-in-chief to a people who now have to leave a lot behind in order to move forward into a plausible future. He seems well-suited to this task in sensibility and intelligence. The task will surely include a degree of pretense that he is holding some familiar things together and propping up some touchstones of the comfortable life. But the truth is we are all going to the same unfamiliar new territory.<br />
The economy we&#8217;re moving into will have to be one of real work, producing real things of value, at a scale consistent with energy resource reality. I&#8217;m convinced that farming will come much closer to the center of economic life, as the death of petro-agribusiness makes food production a matter of life and death in America &#8212; as opposed to the disaster of metabolic entertainment it is now. Reorganizing the landscape itself for this finer-scaled new type of farming is a task fraught with political peril (land ownership questions being historically one of the main reasons that societies fall into revolution). The public is completely unprepared for this kind of change. We still think that &#8220;the path to success&#8221; is based on getting a college degree certifying people for a lifetime of sitting in an office cubicle. This is so far from the approaching reality that it will be eventually viewed as a sick joke &#8212; like those old 1912 lithographs of mega-cities with Zeppelins plying the air between Everest-size skyscrapers.<br />
The crucial element in the transformation underway will be emotion. The American experience for a few generations has produced an adult population with very childish instincts, increasingly worse each decade. For instance, the desperate power fantasies among the younger tattooed lumpenproles &#8212; those with next-to-zero real economic power &#8212; suggest a certain unappetizing playing-out of resource competition when the supply of Cheez Doodles and Pepsi starts to dwindle. But even the heretofore gainfully employed middle classes are pretty lost in fantasies at least of comfort an convenience. For years now, I have wondered how their sense of grievance and resentment will be expressed when the supermarket shelves run bare and the cardboard signs get taped over the local gas pump and the cable TV gets cut off for non-payment. You wonder, to put it bluntly, how far gone we really are.<br />

</ul>
<p>Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties<br />
of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests<br />
that Jesus and his disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings.The anointing oil<br />
used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since<br />
been identified as cannabis extract, according to an article by Chris Bennett in the drugs magazine,<br />
High Times, entitled Was Jesus a Stoner? The incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained<br />
a cannabis extract, suggests Mr Bennett, who quotes scholars to back his claims.<br />
&#8220;There can be little doubt about a role for cannabis in Judaic religion,&#8221; Carl Ruck, professor<br />
of classical mythology at Boston University said. Referring to the existence of cannabis in anointing<br />
oils used in ceremonies, he added: &#8220;Obviously the easy availability and long-established tradition of<br />
cannabis in early Judaism _ would inevitably have included it in the [Christian] mixtures.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Bennett suggests those anointed with the oils used by Jesus were &#8220;literally drenched<br />
in this potent mixture _ Although most modern people choose to smoke or eat pot, when</p>
<p>its active ingredients are transferred into an oil-based carrier, it can also be absorbed through<br />
the skin&#8221;. Quoting the New Testament, Mr Bennett argues that Jesus anointed his disciples<br />
with the oil and encouraged them to do the same with other followers. This could have been<br />
responsible for healing eye and skin diseases referred to in the Gospels.</p>
<p>&#8220;If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil _ and receiving<br />
this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those<br />
who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ,&#8221; Mr Bennett concludes.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/localnews/ci_11071278">Jennifer Squires, Santa Cruz Sentinel</a> Medicinal marijuana caregivers may be prosecuted as drug dealers, according to a state Supreme Court ruling. The ruling upholds a Santa Cruz County Superior Court jury decision that found medicinal marijuana user Roger Mentch, 53, guilty of cultivating and possessing marijuana for sale. Mentch, who was arrested by sheriff&#8217;s deputies in 2003, claimed he was a caregiver for five medicinal marijuana patients. He also opened the Hemporium, a medicinal marijuana collective in Felton, where he sometimes sold the pot he grew. . . The court ruled primary caregivers must have an established care-giving relationship with the patient prior to providing that patient with medicinal marijuana, according to the decision. Also, primary caregivers can only provide pot to those patients, not sell the drug to other medicinal users or collectives. Therefore, Mentch&#8217;s sales to the Hemporium and another collective in the county amounted to dealing drugs</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AMERICAN TEENS LIE, STEAL AND CHEAT BIG TIME</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5heO49If8cVynFgMZMsjn0jX52ywg">Agence France Presse</a> &#8211; American teenagers lie, steal and cheat more at &#8220;alarming rates,&#8221; a study of nearly 30,000 high school students concluded. The attitudes and conduct of some 29,760 high school students across the United States &#8220;doesn&#8217;t bode well for the future when these youngsters become the next generation&#8217;s politicians and parents, cops and corporate executives, and journalists and generals,&#8221; the non-profit Josephson Institute said. . .</p>
<p>Boys were found to lie and steal more than girls. Overall, 30 percent of students admitted to stealing from a store within the past year, a two percent rise from 2006. More than one third of boys (35 percent) said they had stolen goods, compared to 26 percent of girls.</p>
<p>An overwhelming majority, 83 percent, of public school and private religious school students admitted to lying to their parents about something significant, compared to 78 percent for those attending independent non-religious schools.</p>
<p>&#8220;Cheating in school continues to be rampant and it&#8217;s getting worse,&#8221; the study found. Amongst those surveyed, 64 percent said they had cheated on a test, compared to 60 percent in 2006. And 38 percent said they had done so two or more times.</p>
<p>Despite no significant gender differences on exam cheating, students from non-religious independent schools had the lowest cheating rate, 47 percent, compared to 63 percent of students attending religious schools.</p>
<p>Some 93 percent of students indicated satisfaction with their own character and ethics, with 77 percent saying that &#8220;when it comes to doing what is right, I am better than most people I know.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27989275/">Spencer S. Hsu and Ann Scott Tyson, Washington Post</a> &#8211; The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials. . . </p>
<p>There are critics of the change, in the military and among civil liberties groups and libertarians who express concern that the new homeland emphasis threatens to strain the military and possibly undermine the Posse Comitatus Act, a 130-year-old federal law restricting the military&#8217;s role in domestic law enforcement. . . </p>
<p>The Pentagon&#8217;s plan calls for three rapid-reaction forces to be ready for emergency response by September 2011. The first 4,700-person unit, built around an active-duty combat brigade based at Fort Stewart, Ga., was available as of Oct. 1, said Gen. Victor E. Renuart Jr., commander of the U.S. Northern Command</p>
<p>Domestic emergency deployment may be &#8220;just the first example of a series of expansions in presidential and military authority,&#8221; or even an increase in domestic surveillance, said Anna Christensen of the ACLU&#8217;s National Security Project. And Cato Vice President Gene Healy warned of &#8220;a creeping militarization&#8221; of homeland security.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a notion that whenever there&#8217;s an important problem, that the thing to do is to call in the boys in green,&#8221; Healy said, &#8220;and that&#8217;s at odds with our long-standing tradition of being wary of the use of standing armies to keep the peace.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Review first started reporting on the militarization of American life in <a href="http://prorev.com/mil.htm">a 1996 story</a> that began, &#8220;The nomination of General Barry McCaffrey as drug czar symbolizes the nation&#8217;s dramatic retreat from the principle of separation of military and civilian power. It further demonstrates the degree to which the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 &#8212; which outlaws military involvement in civilian law enforcement &#8212; is being ignored and undermined by both the drug warriors and the Clinton administration. Disturbing as the McCaffrey appointment may be, however, it is only an unusually visible sign of something that has been going on quietly for a long time &#8212; the military&#8217;s steady intrusion upon, and interference with, civilian America.&#8221;</p>
