Police said Fritanga had spent more than $1m on the wedding at which he was arrested.

Colombian police have released further details of the arrest of Camilo Torres on suspicion of drug trafficking.

Mr Torres, better known as Fritanga (Fry-up), was detained minutes after getting married in a lavish ceremony on a Caribbean island on Sunday.

Police say he is an influential member of the Urabenos gang, which controls much of the drug trafficking in northern Colombia.

A US court has asked for Mr Torres to be extradited on drugs charges.

Police said they surprised Fritanga on the Caribbean island of Mucura moments after he had married his girlfriend and as he was preparing to host a party for 150 guests.

Police said Fritanga had spared no expense, inviting soap-opera stars and entertainers to the festivities, scheduled to last for a week.

Tens of thousands of Mexicans march along Avenida Reforma in the capital
Mexico's electoral authorities have until
early September to address complaints.
 

Tens of thousands of people in Mexico City are demonstrating against the result of the presidential election, which was won by Enrique Pena Nieto.

The demonstrators, who are not necessarily linked to any particular party, say the vote was not fair.

They accuse Mr Pena Nieto's party, the PRI, of buying votes; some carried banners saying "Not another fraud".

Mr Pena Nieto, who was declared the winner after a recount of nearly half the votes, denies the allegation.

The second-placed candidate in Mexico's presidential election, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has said he will mount a legal challenge to the result.

Fairy Circles

 

The smallest "fairy circles" are about 6.5 feet (2 meters) in diameter, while the largest can be almost 40 feet (12 m) across. Eventually, plants move back in, re-colonizing the circles and leaving only slightly indented "ghost circles" behind.

In the sandy desert grasslands of Namibia in southern Africa, mysterious bare spots known as "fairy circles" will form and then disappear years later for no reason anyone can determine. A new look at these strange patterns doesn't solve the wistful mystery but at least reveals that the largest of the circles can linger for a lifetime.

June 29th, 2012 - July 7th, 2012, Much has happened since June 27th, 2012 when Drake announced that the green light has been given. There have been so many green lights given out. Just sit back and enjoy the moment. Once everything goes public to everyone, the Light vibration level on Earth will go up so much. A lot of people are attacking the messengers. These people telling us this information are the messengers. They have some influence of what goes on. The Positive Military is running this part o the show cornering the mass arrests go. But wait. We have been hearing mass arrests for so long. Now we are hearing the top dark cabal are being dealt with another way. Just sit back and watch. Spread love to where love need to be spread and everything will go as planned. Just to say something. I find it funny that Drake said this exactly one month to the day before the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics. The day of the opening ceremony is July 27th, 2012. Just remember, everything that needs to happen is happening for this mission to succeed. On a personal note for me, something big is about to happen in my life. I will not say much more about it. All I will say, once it happens, it will be felt all over the universe. That's all what I will say for now. Earthrise is here rising the Earth.

An intense desire to do no harm

July 8, 2012 by John Smallman

The tension mounts as the moment of your awakening gets ever closer, especially as the vast majority on Earth have great difficulty in sensing its forthcoming arrival.  Changes are happening all over the world that are signaling, to all who choose to see, that something of great importance is in the offing. You Light-workers know what it is, but even you have little understanding of what it truly means or when it will occur.  The moment is close, but, because time is an imprecise aspect of the illusion, it is not possible to give precise dates and times.  The illusion and its apparent time-line are illusory, without foundation, imaginary concepts that move in only one direction and which appear very real to you.

You are not your beliefs; you are infinitely more

All are One.  There is no separation because all that exists has its existence within our heavenly Father.  And, as many have intuited, Father is a very limiting concept with which to attempt to describe, let alone define, God – Father-Mother-God, the Creator, Love, the divine Unity, the infinite Inspiration from Which all life receives its existence in every moment – as, indeed, are these other supposedly more all-encompassing terms.

The manuscript of survival – part 162

 

Let us start this missive by saying that you have all walked a long, long way to get to the point where you are now, and let us also say that the point of no return is also far behind you. Let us explain. For many, this journey is so taxing at times that they are thinking ”is it really worth it, and will I ever get to that promised land of bliss and peace I so long for?”

4500 record highs broken: Jet stream pulled up towards Canada, 'out of whack' says U.S. meteorologist

It's not that the Midwest hasn't been extremely hot before, and it's not that it hasn't been incredibly dry. But it's unusual for a vast swath of the Midwest to be so very hot and so very dry for so very long - particularly this early in the summer. The current heat wave - which is spurring comparisons to the catastrophic heat of 1936 - is "out of whack," meteorologist Jim Keeney said Friday in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. "Even on the East Coast today, temperatures are 100 or above" - basically, Keeney said, the heat wave extends from Kansas all the way to the East Coast. 

“What is it that is my dream?” And What Energy Creates the Dream?

This second sharing is all thanx to a beautiful soul /friend I have on facebook named Diane.  She asked a question that is so vital to our understanding, of the true Harvest at hand, and to rattle a space within me I take for granted.  Her question is:

“What is it that is my dream?”

What a truly profound and important question.  But before we even scratch the surface of that reply, we must first and foremost discern Who is doing the dreaming.
