White House Admits — Locking People in Cages for Victimless Crimes is Devastating to the Economy

Submitted by will on

Washington D.C. — On Saturday, economists in U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration released a report detailing the adverse effects on the economy derived from locking non-violent drug offenders and criminals behind bars.

For decades, a guiding philosophy of authoritarians was that locking more people up would result in less crime. This has created a prison state in the U.S., which represents 4.4% of the world’s population yet houses 22% of the world’s prisoners.

Since 1980 alone, the US prison population has skyrocketed by nearly 5 times.

H0wever, the negative effects of such a totalitarian approach to drug crimes and other victimless offenses is having a staggering economic impact on the United States.

According to a report by Reuters, economists are “of one mind” that packed prisons, excessively long sentences, and insufficient reentry programs “are counter-productive to our economy as a whole in addition to hurting the people involved,” Jason Furman, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, told reporters in a call on Friday.

I know about nothing. What to say about women? -- I don't even know about men! So don't be worried about that. If you know what a woman is or what a man is, beware of your knowledge, because that is not real knowing; it is just opinion that you have gathered. Yes, man has been propagating ideas against women; now women are propagating ideas against men. It is the same foolish thing! And we go on doing this: we go on moving from one extreme to another extreme.

Alzheimer’s Disease Completely Reversed In One Week In Mice Using New Protein Injection

Submitted by will on

Last year, a team of Australian researchers used a non-invasive ultrasound to assist in removing toxic plaque and lesions from nerve cells commonly associated with the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. This was a big breakthrough, as the researchers were able to reverse the processes commonly associated with the onset of Alzheimer’s, you can read more about that here.

This time,  researchers from the University of Glasgow, in conjunction with the Hong Kong Univeristy of Science and Technology, have discovered that one injection of a protein called IL-33 can reverse Alzheimer’s-like symptoms and cognitive decline in mice. The protein is actually made by the body itself as part of its immune defence against serious infection and disease, ones that affect the brain and spinal cord.

After the injection, the mice instantly improved their cognitive function and memory, restored to that of a normal mouse within just one week of having the injections.

Oneness Is Thy Name

God said:

Beloveds, I hear you cry out in all languages, or I hear you cry out from the depth of silence. You cry out from the depths of My Being within you:

"Beloved God, my beloved God, thank You, thank You for all Your Blessings to the World, for all blessings that have been even when I had no idea. I thank You for all Your Blessings that are to come, for All You have blessed the entire Creation with, including me. You are the One God. There is no other God than You. If there were a hundred-thousand Gods, you are the Living Lovingest God of All. There is no other God before You. Thank You for approaching me so that I might know You and what You Are and what You mean to the Universe and me. 

"God in the Highest, what is there for me to say but that I love, and that I love You with all my Heart and with all the sanctity of my Being which You have bestowed upon me and which I accept through Your sparkling within me. I discover You Who art my Creator.

"You tell me that I AM YOU. I don't quite get it, yet I cherish this thought that somehow, even when I am in a morass, You love and support me with an Awareness far greater than my personal awareness, yet which You are nevertheless bestowing upon me so that I may know You as my Self."

Now, My beloveds, I speak to you:

Paralyzed Man can Move Arm Again Thanks to Synthetic Nervous System

Submitted by will on

by CoNN, AnonHQ

Gentlemen. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. Researchers have used what they call a neural bypass to replace the link between a quadriplegic man’s mental commands and the muscles in his limbs. Ian Burkhart was involved in a driving accident, and six years later he’s able to move his own hand once more. The neural bypass allows him to move his individual fingers, pick up large or small objects, swipe a credit card or even play Guitar Hero. He is the first patient to ever undertake this treatment.

Burkhart said during a press conference, that his ability to execute relatively complex types of movement “really can translate into a lot of functional, daily tasks that I can’t do on my own right now.”

“So that’s something that, if or when I can use this system outside of the clinical setting, it will really increase my quality of life and my independence, and decrease the amount of assistance I need from other people.”

Here’s how it works: a microelectrode array is implanted into Burkhart’s brain. It detects the activity in a particular region of his left motor cortex, a region which the researchers had already analysed with functional magnetic resonance imaging, determining that it was the area that controlled his hand – when Burkhart repeatedly thought about moving his hand, this region would increase in activity.

A Prevalent Idea in the World

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on

God said:

The world has to move past the idea that death of the body is a sad-bad-horrific-thing-to-be-avoided-at-all-costs.

The prevalent idea seems to be that it is a terrible thing to die, that death, in common parlance and in good conscience, has to be postponed until the last possible moment because of an idea that death is in flagrant disrespect of Life, as if death is the worst thing that can happen to you or anyone.

Death is simply the other side of the coin. The death of your current body is not the end of the world. It is not even the end of your Life.

Have You Been Seeing Crows? What The Crow Symbolizes (More Than Just Death)

Submitted by will on

by Amanda Monteiro, Collective-Evolution

The other morning I ran out to my car to grab my purse when I heard the loudest “CAW” from right behind me. I looked back at my house and noticed a crow perched on a window ledge. When I looked at it, it cawed again and flew away. My immediate thought was, “Oh my god, who is going to die?”

I honestly don’t think I am alone in thinking this. Crows have long symbolized death because they are carrion birds, birds that feed on dead animals. There are many myths surrounding carrion birds. For example, ravens and vultures are said to symbolize war, death, and misfortune, and they are even said to be depicted as familiars of witches.

Of course this is all speculation and I’m sure many people will already dispute the mystical representations that birds have, so I advise you to keep an open mind if you choose to read further.

Daily Message ~ Sunday April 24, 2016

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on

If you have trouble loving yourself, you are still in the illusion of seeing yourself as separate from Source. Dear Ones, you are individuated aspects of Source energy, with a unique energy that is adding immeasurably to the whole. To not love yourself is to deny your truth, your birthright, your divine lineage. Do you really think the universe created perfection all around you, but managed to mess it up when it came to you?

Do you see? You are perfect exactly as you are, and the sooner you can come to accept and celebrate that fact, the faster you will start allowing yourself to shine and truly start living the life expression you wish to experience and absolutely deserve. Keeping yourself small serves no one. Loving and accepting yourself serves the whole. ~Archangel Gabriel
