CEOs Panic: Europe Rules Corporate Tax Loopholes Are Illegal

Source: www.usuncut.com | Original Post Date: October 22, 2015 –

The European Commission’s ruling is the result of years of sustained activism from anti-austerity groups like UK Uncut.

Thanks to a new ruling from the European Commission, Starbucks and Fiat are now finally being forced to pay their fair share of taxes, as tax loopholes benefiting multinational corporations with accounts in European countries known for their tax haven status have been ruled illegal.

After 5 years of direct action and organizing from the grassroots, anti-austerity movement UK Uncut, which ties corporate tax avoidance to public service cuts, the movement can claim another major victory — particularly in regards to Starbucks, as UK Uncut has targeted the company for years due to its reputation as a notorious corporate tax avoider.

9-Year-Old Activist Packs 100 Bags With Food For The Homeless Every Week!

Around 100 homeless individuals in the Portland, Oregon area are fed each week thanks to this kind-hearted young man.

When Dusty Liulay, an inspired activist with a heart to help the homeless, volunteered to work at a soup kitchen, he was told he was too young to participate.

You can imagine his disappointment, as he and his family have been volunteering at soup kitchens since he was five years old. No matter, the inspiring youngster turned this roadblock into an exciting venture and started “Dusty’s Sacks of Hope” to help the homeless in his own way.

With the assistance of a few volunteers, Dusty delivers nearly 150 brown bag lunches to homeless individuals in Portland, Oregon every week.

Daily Message ~ Saturday October 24, 2015

Dear Ones, to nurture your relationships, we suggest you consciously pay attention to the traits you enjoy in others. There is a natural tendency to do this when your relationships first start, but then, as time goes by, you start to become more focused on what you do not like than what you do. It is your appreciation for the other that will support and continue that first flush of love you feel, allowing the “honeymoon phase” to last. Remember, appreciation acts as an energetic anchor, and through your focus you get to nurture and grow what is desired in your precious unions. The most successful partnerships you see in your lives are those that demonstrate a deep appreciation for each other, whether they be based on work, friendship, or love. ~Archangel Gabriel

Enlivenment

God said:

Light is energy. You are made of light. You are energy. Remember when you were excited about life and you leaped out of bed, so eager were you to get going. You may have great purpose now, and yet you might like stay in bed.

Return to the days when you are excited about what the day will bring, when you are smooth-running, when life becomes an inciting event, and you can’t wait to meet it.

Do you remember days like this when you could hardly wait for your day to begin? Something wonderful was going to enter your day. You were going to have a great surprise or even several great surprises. You knew today was a new day never lived before. You were eager to hop to it.

You didn’t formulate the words: “I am tired.”

You would wake up in the morning, and you didn’t want to go back to sleep. You wanted to leap out of bed. You wanted to open the envelope.

This enlivenment was more than mood. It wasn’t exactly like Christmas where you knew gifts were coming.

This joy of life came from something inside you. Your favor wasn’t being bought. It wasn’t that you were waiting for a great promotion at work, or winning the lottery, though these are perfectly fine. There was something inside you that was raring to go. You were your own incentive.

You weren’t making the best of something, although that isn’t a bad idea either. There was something more. What gives you joy? Have something in mind simply for the joy of it. Perhaps do something you have never done before. Yes, this is a good idea I am giving you.

Hurricane Patricia bears down on Mexico as strongest storm ever recorded

MONTERREY, Mexico — Tens of thousands of people were being evacuated Friday from Mexico's Pacific coast as the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere bore down on the popular tourist area packing sustained winds of 190 mph, down from 200 mph earlier in the day.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center predicted the Category 5 Hurricane Patricia would make a "potentially catastrophic landfall" in southwestern Mexico later in the day.

The center described the storm as the most powerful ever recorded in the eastern Pacific or Atlantic basins. It warned of powerful winds and torrential rain that could bring life-threatening flash flooding and dangerous, destructive storm surge.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said during a radio interview on Friday that he didn’t want to create panic in the western states of Jalisco, Colima and Nayarit that are in Patricia’s path, but that it’s important for people there to understand the magnitude of the historic storm.

I must empty myself to others in tears and in kisses, in hugs and smiles.

That is the way one becomes empty and ready for God to enter in.

In a moment, when one is empty, suddenly all becomes full of God. When you kiss somebody with deep love, you are emptying yourself into the other. When you hug somebody ecstatically, you are pouring yourself into the other. This is the way of emptying yourself. And when you are utterly empty, God comes in. To be empty is to be in meditation.

-Rajneesh

Love is who you are, always.

The news on the mainstream media continues to present an alarming selection of catastrophes and disasters, but things are not as they appear.  Yes, there is much suffering, but it is being resolved, as human kindness on a vast scale responds compassionately as never before in human history to those in dire need.  And that massive outpouring of compassion is having an enormous effect, as well as further empowering humanity’s collective decision to awaken from the illusion and, as they do so, dissolving the worst of the horrors that man has been inflicting on man, brother on brother, sister on sister, for eons past.  Truly, a massive and most wonderful change in attitudes worldwide has occurred over the last five or six decades as awareness has grown that those in need can and should be helped, regardless of whether or not their neediness is seemingly due to their own mistakes.

Those in dire need have been ignored or taken advantage of for a very long time, but now humanity, despite the angry and alarmist noises of those fearing massive influxes of impoverished refugees and of the politicians who rely on them for election, has made an irreversible decision to be guided by love and compassion instead of solely by personal and fearful self-interest.  The outpourings of generosity and kindness by millions of individuals across the whole planet to those who are hungry and homeless have never before been so widespread.

5 Signs You’ve Stopped Caring About People’s Approval

“More than 2500 years ago, Lao Tzu was trying to teach us a valuable lesson:

“Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner.”

You would think that after so many years we would’ve mastered this simple and valuable lesson, but we haven’t….

The way I see it, to live a life where you stop caring about people’s approval, is to live a free life. This is what freedom is to me. To stop caring about what others think of you is to be free to be whoever you want to be, and free to live the life you came here to live.

Here are 5 signs you’ve stopped caring about people’s approval and started living a life where you are free to live the way you want to live:

1. Your opinion of yourself matters more than other people’s opinions of you.

The 10 Most Critical Things to Consider When Consuming Mainstream News

Dylan Charles, Editor
Waking Times

It’s no secret that 90% of American media is owned by just 6 corporate conglomerates, and it’s also no secret that the media is used by political and corporate propagandists as a tool to reach deep into the hearts and minds of the masses. Mainstream newscasts are a staged version of reality, and as world events continue to rise in pitch and fervor, so will the propaganda, so it’s imperative to brush up on critical thinking skills as a defense against falling into group-think and mass-hysteria.

The great irony here, though, is that it is precisely through the power of media that people will awaken to the deceit happening in the media. By and large the programming that makes it to our eyes and ears is produced to support an agenda, but, even amongst the corporate programs there are genuine voices of reason and truth.

Antibiotics Might Cause Weight Gain in Kids

(HealthDay News) -- Repeated antibiotic use is linked to greater weight gains in children, and it could affect their weight for the rest of their lives, a new study suggests.

Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore analyzed data from nearly 164,000 youngsters in the United States, and found that about 21 percent of them received seven or more prescriptions for antibiotics during childhood.

At age 15, those who took antibiotics seven or more times at earlier ages weighed about 3 pounds more than those who took no antibiotics. This weight gain among those who frequently took antibiotics was likely underestimated due to lack of complete data, the researchers said.

Study of 3 Psychedelics Finds They Do No Harm but Actually Improve Mental Health

Phillip Schneider, Contributor
Waking Times

A new study from the Journal of Psychopharmacology has found that taking psychedelic drugs does not result in impairment of mental health or an increased risk of depression. From the three drugs that were involved (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide or LSD, Psilocybin and Mescaline), the study declared that there are ‘no significant associations between lifetime use of psychedelics and increased likelihood of past year serious psychological distress, mental health treatment, suicidal thoughts, suicidal plans and suicide attempt, depression and anxiety.’

People who experiment with psilocybin “report it as one of the most profound experiences they’ve had in their lives, even comparing it to the birth of their children.” [Source]

Bombshell Ruling: Feds Have To Keep Their Dirty Hands Off Legal Medical Pot Shops

Source: www.thefreethoughtproject.com | Original Post Date: October 21, 2015 –

San Francisco, CA – In a landmark decision, a federal court found that the federal government has no standing to block the legal operation of medical cannabis dispensaries, provided they comply with state laws.

The decision was a direct result of a congressional act last December, in which Congress cut off federal funding for the prosecution of cannabis clubs, provided they were operating within current state law.

The landmark decision came in the case of Lynette Shaw, who ironically opened the first licensed medical marijuana dispensary in the United States. Her dispensary was ultimately raided and shut down by the DEA in 2011.

Shaw has been in court over 100 times fighting the legality of the closure since her dispensary was shuttered, according to NBC. The decision by U.S. Judge Charles Breyer ended the long-running battle she has been engaged in with the federal government.

Canada’s New PM Issues Challenge To US – “We’re Ending Wars And Legalizing Pot”

Source: www.thefreethoughtproject.com | Original Post Date: October 22, 2015 –

If the phone conversation with President Obama is any indication of Justin Trudeau’s commitment, Canada will be giving its southern neighbor lessons in peace and freedom.

Trudeau, Canada’s Prime Minister-elect, told Obama on Tuesday that he will withdraw their fighter jets from Iraq and Syria. Both of these campaigns represent U.S. military aggression based on deceit and manufactured consent.

By withdrawing machines of death and destruction from the two countries plagued by military hegemony, Trudeau is making a strong statement and standing firm behind his commitment.

“I committed that we would continue to engage in a responsible way that understands how important Canada has a role to play in the fight against ISIL (Islamic State), but he (Barack Obama) understands the commitments I’ve made around ending the combat mission,” he told reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday.
