On Aug. 5 a court in western Turkey handed down life sentences to a score of retired military officers, including the former chief of the general staff, as well as politicians and media figures, for plotting attacks that would have hurled the country into chaos in preparation for a military coup. The trial was widely regarded as flawed, but the verdicts did not provoke big protests in a nation that until a few years ago held the Army in higher esteem than any other institution. A few days later, at the end of Ramadan, the cities emptied as usual and the resorts were packed. Amid the festivities, the decapitation of the country’s former ruling establishment was largely forgotten.

Three recent stories that drive home the sorry state of the media.

Money, they say, is the mother’s milk of politics.  Also of news, sports and the rest of the entertainment industry.  Three recent stories drive that home. 

When Reince Priebus pressured Comcast’s NBC to drop a miniseries starring Diane Lane as Hillary Clinton, the hostage that the RNC chairman threatened to snuff was the network’s access to the 2016 presidential primary debates.  When the NFL forced Disney’s ESPN to pull out of a documentary about concussions jointly produced with PBS’s Frontline, the league’s leverage was its deal with Disney’s ABC to air Monday Night Football.  And when Time Warner’s CNN hired Newt Gingrich for its exhumed edition of Crossfire, its motive wasn’t political journalism in service of democracy; it was stunt casting in service of ratings.

It is with the seeds of love of my soul that I step forth to honour your divine and sacred being, showering you in all that is your truth as you recognise it within yourself and within my presence. Your divine truth and sacred self is everywhere and can be recognised within each and every person. You are never alone nor are you separate from the Creator for not only can you see the aspect of the Creator within yourself but you can recognise it within all around you.  This recognition and familiarity brings forth the greater understanding and experience of oneness, even in a reality where separation is dominate. With the awareness and perspective of oneness, meaning the recognition of the Creator within yourself and all, you allow yourself to experience high levels of awakening and important merging with the Creator. The process and experience of merging with the Creator assists you in moving through numerous levels of activations, dimensional shifts, awakenings and releasing of old energetic patterns, thus you become and realise yourself to be the great beacon of light that you are.

Sierrra and Landon Riddle (credit: CBS)COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – A Colorado mother says she is only trying to help her young son battle cancer. Now she says a doctor may turn her into the state because she is refusing chemotherapy treatments for her child and is instead using a product related to marijuana.

A petition on change.org calls on the governor, the Colorado Springs police, Department of Human Services and The Children’s Hospital to recognize cannabis as a treatment for cancer. The mother did not start it, but signed it after she and her child moved to Colorado Springs to take advantage of the state’s marijuana laws.
