Human rights organizations, as well as political and social ones, are condemning what they are calling a new form of inhumane exploitation in the United States, where they say a prison population of up to 2 million – mostly Black and Hispanic – are working for various industries for a pittance. For the tycoons who have invested in the prison industry, it has been like finding a pot of gold. They don’t have to worry about strikes or paying unemployment insurance, vacations or comp time. All of their workers are full-time, and never arrive late or are absent because of family problems; moreover, if they don’t like the pay of 25 cents an hour and refuse to work, they are locked up in isolation cells.

The US is ramping up pressure to secure a Trans-Pacific Trade Deal with conditions that could undermine the national interests of nations involved. WikiLeaks documents say talks are “paralyzed,” with the US refusing to compromise on disputed issues.

Anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks has released two documents revealing the state of negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The deal in question includes 12 countries – the United States, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Chile, Singapore, Peru, Vietnam, New Zealand and Brunei – which represent more than 40 percent of the world’s gross domestic product.

The 12 nations are are in Singapore this week to discuss the trade agreement. Following a closed-door meeting in Singapore, Japan’s trade minister Yasutoshi Nishimura told press he would like “the United States to show flexibility.”

“I’ve already mentioned the parts we can’t budge on, so the issue is what both sides can do based on that,” Nishimura said.

Are you a REAL awakened being or are you in Ego=Programming=Fear,Pain,Suffering=Illusion?

Unconditional Love is the Real love of God….and the Truth in Higher thought or higher dimensions of consciousness…Ego cannot go there..as we truly connect with the One consciousness from within, Ego disappears, ceases to exist.

Every Sunday I unwrap Presence. It’s my own invention of church. I speak out loud, honestly, to my Creator as I see, hear, feel, and absorb the stunning beauty of the Earth through the window. This is my magical intersection of the Father-Mother Presence. The glory and blessing that is birthed from this honesty space never ceases to amaze me. And that is because it’s a new Presence every time I sit and receive it. I never intend, ahead of time, to make this awareness and Presence happen, because truthfully I don’t remember that this even happens until it happens, spontaneously, again. Even now I am writing in an afterglow of this event – feeling the effects of the Presence – and I am always inspired to translate it, or communicate it, or point to it as something we are and deserve to receive. Then, like many of you, on Monday I jump back into the stream of predictable traffic, and return to work. Lately, it feels like the distance or chasm this creates is literally killing me, and us.

Acknowledge that you are great and you will know that you are an eternal being.

When did you think to pad yourself on your very shoulder? You do not remember this moment? How should you since this has been so long ago?

Just permit yourself to note that you may pad yourself on your shoulder too! Since when you consciously go through such activity of self-acknowledgement accepting your true greatness you also will accept the very fact that you are much more than others may want you to believe.

There is no description whatever in this language to express your true greatness. And there is about it so much more than words may describe it. There also is much more at stake than you may be able normally to imagine at all.

When you wake up – and I really mean – when you truly awake – you will note for the first time in your life which is the true greatness of yours.
