Hunger is a daily reality for many people, and it’s a problem that affects more of our society than we might think, like lower income families and single parents. While many people donate food to canned food drives, especially around the holidays, this practice often creates more problems than it solves.

Much of the food donated to charities is expired or otherwise unusable, which means not only that it must be thrown out, but that people must spend time and energy sorting through the food before it can be delivered.

A good friend to the CE Team, Brice Royer, has recently shared his initiative to help those in need this holiday season. While he was battling cancer, Lotus Seed Restaurant in Vancouver gave him free meals whenever he wanted. Now that Brice has healed, he has arranged to pay it forward by paying for any meals ordered on Christmas Eve between noon and 5 pm on Christmas Eve. The restaurant has even offered to donate some of the meals as well.

(EV via anonhq) Economic slavery, or wage slavery, refers to one’s total and immediate dependence on wages to survive.

Although people throughout history have had to work to get by, we now live in a culture where we are led to believe we have economic freedom, when unbeknownst to most citizens, we are in fact bound in servitude.

We automatically accept a 40-hour workweek with meager hourly pay as normal, even though many work overtime and still struggle to survive. There are also those who make enough to live comfortably but are unable to request less hours—you either work 40 hours a week, or you don’t get to work at all. We submit when told what to wear, when we have to arrive and depart, when we’re allowed to eat, and even when we’re allowed to use the restroom. How is it we have come to allow this?

Any scientist who publicly shares information that could challenge the belief systems of many will always come under public scrutiny and ridicule. But when you worked on space plasma technologies, nuclear fusion, and advanced space propulsion, and invented the Microwave Electro-Thermal plasma thruster using water propellant for space propulsion, people are probably going to take you seriously.

This is the case with Dr. John Brandenburg and, apart from what’s listed above, he has also worked for the Government with top-secret security clearances on various projects. He has worked on the Rocket Plume Regolith Interactions on the Moon and Mars, Vortex theory of Rocket engine design and the combined Sakharov-Kaluza-Klein theory of Field Unification for purposes of space propulsion and Mars science.

The aftermath of the 2016 US presidential election caused the corporate media to break out into a full blown frenzy, attacking independent media, and urging people to point the finger at alternative news outlets. This resulted in many legitimate news outlets being labeled as “fake news.”

The global elite are fighting tooth and nail to keep their system running smoothly, despite the unavoidable shift in consciousness that has been occurring. People flock to alternative news sources because they no longer trust the mainstream outlets that have run the show for many years. They are now aware that the wool has been pulled over their eyes, and have instead chosen to stand up rather than succumb to this realization.

People seek a platform that not just informs everyone of what’s happening in the world without bias or political agendas, but one that is solution-based.

It’s been quite the year for skywatchers, and December is closing it out with one more incredible supermoon. Gracing the sky on Wednesday, December 14, it’s a special spectacle in the sky you surely won’t want to miss.

The December supermoon is also called the “Cold Moon,” and will occur just one day after the moon reaches perigee, which is the point in its orbit that it is closest to Earth. The Old Farmer’s Almanac notes that this month’s supermoon is called the “Full Cold Moon” because it is associated with the month the winter cold is mostly felt. Native American tribes also refer to this supermoon as the “Long Nights Moon” because it happens near the winter solstice, which is the night with the least amount of daylight.

December’s supermoon will be extra special, as it will coincide with the peak of the Geminid meteor shower, NASA said. The light from the supermoon will reduce the visibility of faint meteors five to ten-fold. Stargazers will be lucky enough to see a dozen Geminids per hour during its peak.
