At least three groups of Canada’s aboriginal community have seriously opposed the pipeline project which they consider to be impinging upon their health, security and environment.

Well, here we are on the eve of the Lion’s Gate.  We will not go into what this brings to you, as this information has been very well explained by others.  We will tell you, however, that your inner selves are going to be changing in increments you have not experienced before.  There has been a very carefully laid foundation built, up to this point, for those of you who have asked for and allowed it to happen.  This will now make it possible for things to proceed at a more rapid pace.

 

Myriads of tiny little changes will now begin to come together in huge realizations and changes of purpose, intent, and understanding.  Some, where needed, will find physical changes, healings.  Ask.  But after the asking do not forget to allow, accept, and show gratitude.  There is no limit to what you may change now other than your own mind.

The Perseid meteor shower of 2012 is set to peak on August 12th, when “the Earth is expected to encounter the ‘core’ of the Perseid swarm, where meteoroid concentration is densest.”

The Perseids will be easiest to view during this time because the meteors appear to separate from a part of sky near the Double Cluster in Perseus. It’s an illusion of perspective though, “since that is the direction toward which the Earth’s orbital motion carries us at this time of the meteor shower.”

A number of Spanish journalists have accused the government of sacking them from national radio and television for criticizing the government’s austerity policy.
 

The journalists said that they were purged from the national RTVE radio and TV channel for questioning Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s harsh austerity measures, which have led to massive rallies and strikes by workers from various sectors, The Guardian reported on Sunday.

Rajoy’s rightwing Partido Popular (PP) party, which has already been blamed for being behind the departures of some high-profile journalists from the country’s leading state broadcasting organizations, came under fire again after one of Spain’s best-known journalists claimed she was fired from her job.

Jamie Kirchick offers a vigorous defense of Germany's hard-line against Scientology. Along the way, Kirchick reminds us how wacky it was of the IRS to reverse years of precedent and grant Scientology recognition as a church. Whatever else it is, Scientology is a profit-seeking enterprise, a fact not altered because its profits derive from telling fabulous fictions.

Today we would like to touch further upon the subject of time travel to call it that, as we have many insights into this that might help you all in the time ahead. For centuries, mankind have been playing around with the idea of moving back and forth between the ages, and you have also made many a fictional story about that, so we guess you are all familiar with the concept in some way. However, as this is a subject that is apt to confuse many, we would also like to point out the fact that time is not the same for us as it is for you. As we have touched upon so many times earlier, time for you is a single layer, spreading out in two directions, and it is only possible to ”navgiate” it to call it that by staying alive and literally follow the clock.

BRUSSELS - Taxes in Greece continue to slip through state scrutiny as some corporations, wealthy Greek-ship owning families, and the Greek Orthodox Church are either exempt or use loopholes to hide millions of euros.

In the first five months of 2012, the Greek ministry of finance registered a €300 million shortfall in collected taxes. The shortfall, notes the ministry, is primarily due to corporations having not submitted their taxes on time.

It was riotous, side-splitting comedy last week when Sanford Weill, the onetime head of Citibank, went on CNBC to announce that he thought it was time to break up the big banks.

Why this was funny: Through his ambitious (and at the time not yet legal) decision to merge Citibank, Travelers, and Salomon Brothers into one giant wrecking ball of greed, self-dealing and global irresponsibility called Citigroup, Weill more or less single-handedly created the Too-Big-To-Fail problem. You know, the one currently casting that thick, black doomlike shadow over all humanity which, if you look out your window, you can see floating over all our heads this very minute.
