The Change Will Be Greater Than You Can Imagine

Global Transformation Accelerates: Multiple Astrological Triggers Pulled During April

Not since this New Millennium began has there been a convergence of so many astrological alignments and geopolitical circumstances which will compel massive global changes.  With the numerous and extraordinary astrological events taking place in April, the oft-predicted destiny of  HUGE Earth changes can no longer be denied.  It is now a matter of when , not if.  The simple physics that undergird the political, economic and social spheres of life now dictate that real planetary transformation is on the way.
Surely the spate of earthquakes and volcanoes has reflected the renewed will of Mother Earth to start rocking’ and rollin’.  There has never been such a concentration of major earthquakes as we have already seen this year.  The Ring of Fire in particular has awakened from its slumber.  And there is every indication, according numerous volcanologists and seismologists around the world, that such seismic and volcanic activity will only intensify.

As the current Solar Maximum continues to unfold, such earth movements are all but guaranteed.  Unfortunately, few within the scientific establishment have acknowledged the true correlations between solar activity and cataclysmic earth movements.  Perhaps 2014 will remove all remaining doubt as the anticipated earth cataclysms begin in earnest.  Simply put, Mother Earth will be heard, and not just paid lip service as is so often done on the annual April 22nd EARTH DAY.

Regardless of what the immediate future holds in store for the world, April 2014 is set to release a variety of astrological triggers having far-reaching ramifications and great consequences. Even an armchair astrologer can plainly see the celestial setup which will generate corresponding events everywhere across the planet, not just throughout the entire Middle East, the Ukraine, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Thailand, Myanmar, the Central African Republic, Sudan, Libya, Chad, etc., which we see on the evening news.

Of course, the Global Economic and Financial Control Matrix is especially vulnerable to the predicted calamities throughout that and other interconnected realms.  This is where the raw financial and economics physics graphically illustrate fast approaching breaking points.  The blatant suppression of the price of gold is a stark example of where the market controllers can no longer maintain the false illusion of order.  All the forces of the marketplace — both real and artificially fabricated — are now working at cross purposes with such intensity that “the man behind the curtain” will be exposed once and for all.

2014: Chinese Year Of The Wood Horse Forges World Destiny 

The Chinese Year of the Green Wood Horse began on January 31st of 2014. Imagine a wild horse blazing across the landscape with the wind at its back.  Now, picture the many “horses” that were let loose across the planet in 2013, as well as during the previous decade since 9/11.  Each hemisphere and region, every continent and nation throughout the world has experienced it’s own version of a buckin’ bronco on steroids — breaking out of the rodeo pit — since the Crash of ’08. Now we see just where this “Wood Horse” will run to in a year that guarantees the most profound and fundamental changes of the modern era.

The FOUR HORSEMEN Herald the Death Knell of Predatory Capitalism

It is now April and the most intense and consequential astrology of the year will occur during the second half of this month.  It is not just the various alignments, squares, eclipses, transits and retrogrades involving the most volatile planets and significant luminaries; it’s the overlapping of these celestial events within an extraordinarily tight time frame and at this critical junction point which truly matters.  It’s as though the Universe chose April month to show us that astrology REALLY works.  If you’ve balked at its awesome power of prediction, prognostication and prophecy in the past, you won’t anymore.

Here’s just a glimpse of what April has in store for every resident of Planet Earth.  Take a close look now, as you may not have the time to later while the “War of the Titans” starts to cranks up into a heavenly crescendo.  It’s already begun to break out into the open, but most are too preoccupied with life and distracted by the MSM to take notice of the expanding battleground all around them.  However, for the first time in the modern era there are a good number of earthly inhabitants who are aware of the true status of things. Each one of them is challenged to holding space and biding time for the rest of humanity, most of whom very much need this crucial support at this defining moment of human history.

Although the preceding list of major astrological events commences on April 15, some of their effects have already been felt quite intensely since December of 2013.  In fact an accurate understanding of these heavenly happenings clearly illustrates what many of us have been experiencing in our lives, especially the buildup of tension both within and without.  Who among us has not witnessed the extremely “interesting times” that have been manifesting across the planet 24/7?!

Notice how the four days of “Supreme Intensity” are bookended by a full lunar eclipse and annular solar eclipse.  There’s actually a lot of other things to notice, but the arcana of planetary astrology analysis is far beyond the scope of this essay.  However, even the uninitiated ought to be able to glean from all the “peaks”, “squares” and “opposes” that something quite serious is taking place in the skies above us.  And since we all know that “As in Heaven, so on Earth”, and “As above, so below”, there must be something really big that’s getting ready to pop on this little clod of rotating earth.
Here’s how one well respected astrologer put it:

It’s very important to note that such monumental changes can only occur when there is sufficient momentum of the collective consciousness moving in the right direction.  A critical mass of souls, whose expanded awareness has coalesced around these epochal changes, is what will make them happen.  Therefore, even though we expect big things to happen on the outside, it is always on the inside where the real work is getting done. Sometimes we know it, sometimes we don’t.  It all depends on our unique areas of need. As long as we avail ourselves to the upcoming transformational process — which will surely come — in earnest and with resolve, all heaven can, and will, break loose.

Cardinal Grand Cross Sets The Stage For The Greatest Show On Earth
Can it be a coincidence that this cardinal Grand Cross peaks on Earth Day, April 22nd?
Clearly, Mother Earth is sending a message to her many residents that the times are now a changin’ whether you’re ready or not.  In the geopolitical theatre of life this has become quite evident by the recent tensions centered in the Ukraine.  This nation has become the new focal point of profound conflict between East and West.  This is where the War of the Titans will be played out for the foreseeable future.
Unlike past conflicts of this nature, it will unfold on a geopolitical chessboard of truly epic and unparalleled proportions.  Neither East nor West can afford the wholesale destruction which always accompanies full scale war.  Nor can they effectively manage the economic disruptions, political chaos, and societal mayhem which will surely result.  The world is a lot more complex and interconnected than it was during the first two world wars.  This ongoing world war has been taking place in the boardrooms, between the central banks and throughout the major national economies around the globe.

Germany’s complete domination of the European Union is just one example of how this silent war has evolved with only very few knowing it was taking place.  The slow-motion dissolution of the U$ petrodollar is another example of the diminished stature of the American superpower occurring under the radar.  The quiet formation of the BRICS economic union is a particularly significant development of how the East intends to disarm the West.  Clearly the inexorable collapse of the US dollar in tandem with the ongoing meltdown of the PIIGS nations signal a ‘new world order’ the likes of which will surely humble all concerned.

Cardinal Points of the Grand Cross Tell the Future Story of Humankind 

It is the cardinal points on the wheel of astrology which serve as the gateway for so much change which has occurred over millennia.  The past century has displayed a meteoric pace of societal transformation unmatched over the past 6000 years.  This dramatically accelerated pace is reflected in the final two creation cycles of the Mayan Long Count Calendar, which is said to end in the years surrounding 2012.  Because of the exponential increase in technological advancement, the rate of change will continue to speed up ad infinitum, unless the breaks are put on by outside cosmic forces.

Astrological portents such as a cardinal Grand Cross may augur a break in the action.  It might also indicate a shift from the rapidity and intensity of daily events which have come to overwhelm our lifestyle.  Some might look at it as a momentary crucifixion in this plane of existence in which the veil of Maya is torn, thus providing a respite from so many needless cares and concerns.  In this way, space is created for yogic detachment and dispassion to prevail as we face life’s adversities.
Ultimately, each one of us is compelled to closely study the ways in which we are able to work with this cosmic gift of 2014.  To fully cooperate with the palpable and benevolent energies, which suffuse the current reprieve and period of awakening, is the very least we can do.  When the shower of grace which is about to be unleashed from the heavens falls upon us, bask in the sacred light and divine love .  Consciously bath in the sublime elixir and release any dross that prevents the highest from being seen and experienced.  In this way each of us can participate in the upcoming Greatest Show on Earth so that all heaven can finally break loose.

How can a single cardinal Grand Cross following Easter Sunday both trigger and accelerate so many momentous changes around the world?

Astrology is a very complex, subtle and powerful science and art.  When properly applied to this earth plane of existence, it will accurately reveal the destiny of individuals and nations alike with uncanny precision. The larger the context, the easier it is to use this infallible discipline to predict and presage.  Because there is so much evidence stacking up across the planet in favor of an unprecedented release of historic tensions, it’s now quite easy to see where all this is going.

In the lexicon  of astrology there is a well-known term — C O M B U S T I O N.  This concept is often applied to situations where a relationship is about to combust.  It can also relate to a job that is ending as in getting fired or quitting in disgust.  When something is combusting, the circumstances are conspiring in such a way so as to guarantee its termination and/or destruction, and often in a rather dramatic way. Perhaps the irrepressible and inimitable Mickey Rooney chose to make his passage this month of Aries in order to secure a box office heavenly seat for the screening of the upcoming Greatest Show on Earth… because a LOT is about to combust[1]!
GSOE Globe
Everyone is involved in The Greatest Show On Earth either as spectator or actor; it just depends on where you live.

Welcome to April of 2014 – the month of the already combustible and martian Aries. Can the stage be set any more perfectly as Aries hosts a cardinal Grand Cross on April 22?  The cross is a symbol worth taking a much closer look at.  In Christology, the Cross has multiple meanings both extremely profound and elegantly spiritual.  One of those reflects the person of Christ having been crucified in the space-time continuum so that the impure ego of humanity could be transmuted to the pure ego of divinity.  The real crucifixion was actually one of annihilation of the small ego, not the body, so that the divine personage could gloriously emerge.
“The cross is one of the most ancient human symbols, and has been used by many religions, most notably Christianity. It may be seen as a division of the world into four elements (Chevalier, 1997) or cardinal points, or alternately as the union of the concepts of divinity, the vertical line, and the world, the horizontal line (Koch, 1955).”
(Source: Wikipedia – Cross)
In this particular context, the vertical line of the Cross reflects divinity; the horizontal line reflects the world.  Each and every human being is ultimately challenged to submit him or herself to the very same spiritual crucifixion within the space-time continuum known as Planet Earth.  This transmutation is one of spirit first; then, the transfiguration of the body will naturally follow.  Through the disciplined utilization of the rarefied coiled energy that lies at the base of the spine of every human being, each person is equipped to embark on the same spiritual journey as the Christ, the Buddha, the Prophet Muhammad, Lao-Tze, Confucius, Moses, Krishna, Rama, etc.

Which brings us to the extremely powerful and unprecedented cardinal Grand Cross occurring in the month of Aries right after the symbolic crucifixion of Good Friday and resurrection of the spirit on Easter Sunday.  All of Christendom has been conditioned by dogmatic churchianity to receive specific messages over centuries of mind control programming.  However, the much greater divine blueprint would have it another way. Christians worldwide have also been imprinted by impressive archetypal memes, and encoded through cultural memory with the universal truths, which are soon to be revealed and activated.  So, too, have the practitioners of all the world’s major religions. The Judeo-Christian-Islamic monotheistic faiths are but one mosaic created by the very same threads, regardless that many might be reluctant to admit it.
The Southern Cross = Crux Constellation = Sign of Spring & Rebirth

There is another astronomical phenomenon that appears brightly in the Spring season, especially throughout the Southern Hemisphere.  The Crux Constellation, also know as the Southern Cross, is vividly seen the closer one moves to the equator from the Northern Hemisphere.  It is only visible beginning in April and can be seen until June each year south of the equator.

This constellation appears in the form of a cross and is constituted by four bright stars, each of which have great significance for those initiated in occult astrology.  There is another very conspicuous but less bright fifth star on the cross which is located on the lower right side of the constellation.  Some have suggested the analogy to the piercing of the heart chakra of the body of Christ as it was lanced by the Spear of Destiny, also known as the Holy Spear of Longinus.

The symbol of the cross as it appears as the Crux Constellation has given rise to may other profound meanings.  Pointing in the four cardinal directions, each represents the four elements of 4th Density.  The matrix of 4th density is constructed around the components of space – length, width, height and mass, as well as the notion of time making up the space-time continuum.  When the individual soul completes the spiritual journey, he or she has been forever emancipated from this space-time continuum in that they literally live in eternity.  Having merged with the Godhead, they live as divinity incarnate and are no longer bound by the concept of time.

As East meets West in 2014, only a level playing field will be acceptable.
It is now common knowledge that it is the Judeo-Christian-Islamic dominated ethos which currently rules the mundane realm.  Both the Judeo-Christian US and EU (and NATO) hold great military and economic sway over the world.  The oil-rich Islamic nations have controlled the planet’s energy supply for many decades.  Together they have formed an uneasy alliance which is now fracturing beyond repair.  The BRICS nations represent those strong countries of the East which are pulling that alliance apart, regardless of the relentless intimidation and threats of retaliation by the US, NATO and the EU.

Here we see the stealthy and shadowless China, proud and spiritually powerful India, liberated (from European influence) South Africa, and emancipated (from NSA) Brazil forming an unprecedented “coalition of the courageous” with indomitable Russia.  Of course, in Russia we also see a nation where East literally meets West, serving as both a bridge and battleground by which Western hegemony will finally be obliterated.  It is only the Russian bear which has been given sufficient strength to stand up to both the transparent and hidden forces propping up Western Civilization.  Not only does their arsenal of nuclear weapons confer this power upon them, they also possess a LOT of oil and gas reserves.  More importantly, they know how to play chess very well — geopolitical chess, that is, unlike very few minds do from the Anglo-American side.

Because they have re-embraced their true Christian roots and genuine practice, Russia has been deputized to lead the planetary revolution that has already begun. Not only do they understand the Anglo-American mindset, they have mastered the art of war without even firing a shot.  The Russian steppe has forged the minds of this great people over millennia into philosophers first, actors second.  When they do decide to act, it is based on the reality perceived through their uniquely Western outlook, as well as the detachment and dispassion which has been cultivated from their exposure to Eastern spirituality.
At the end of the day, Obama — the mindless talking head, empty suit and pawn of the ruling Western elites — will be wrestling with Putin, a Zen master with the body of a bear who practices yoga while performing judo on a geopolitical chessboard.  Yes, it’s not going to be a pretty picture for Obama and Company.  And the Ukraine is where the final match is most likely to be played out.   Needless to say, it is highly advisable that everyone liquidate their stocks and bonds ahead of the 2nd Great Crash of the Millennium which has apparently just begun.

Given the various gauntlets that have already been thrown down and numerous ultimatums issued by the Anglo-American juggernaut and its proxies, it is now clear April 2014  is the Kali Yuga’s version of the battle of Kurukshetra.  For those who do not know, that battle between the Pandavas and the Kauravas during the transition from the Copper Age to the current Iron Age left an entire civilization destroyed and desolate as a sign of what would occur routinely throughout the Kali Yuga.

Changes?  What changes? And just who are the Four Horsemen?
First off, most do not know that the world has been in the throes of a deep economic depression since the real estate market collapse of 2007 and stock market crash of 2008. Can you believe the governments, in tandem with the mainstream media (MSM), have been able to keep the true state of affairs out of the headlines?  Of course there those few economists who are not beholden to any particular political party or corporate sponsor or partisan think tank who do speak the truth every now and then.  As follows:
“Why the FOUR HORSEMEN and just who, or what, are they?  The FourHorsemen of the Apocalypse quite aptly resembles the forces that have already been “let loose upon the land”.  The consequences, and aftermath, of what will be left in their wake are listed below, and the challenges and adversities that will accompany each of them will last through this entire decade baring deus ex machina.
I.  ECONOMIC ARMAGEDDON
II. FINANCIAL APOCALYPSE
III.  MONETARY MELTDOWN
IV.  FISCAL COLLAPSE
The hooves of these FOUR HORSEMEN will be felt in every corner of the globe, as each of them knows no boundaries and has been empowered to act with complete impunity.  They know neither rich nor poor, neither strong nor weak, neither clever nor dull.  The HORSEMEN will spare nothing, and no one, in their zeal to completely level a multi-millennia old system that has brought so much pain and suffering, wreck and ruin, trial and tribulation, to the masses of the world.  Every continent, nation, state and province, city and county, village and town will be profoundly affected and fundamentally altered … forever.”

Martian Energy Of April/Aries Is Often Used By Illuminati Planners, NWO Plotters and CIA Perpetraitors
It stands to reason that those who sit at the peak of the pinnacle of the World Shadow Government would use the ‘Aryan’ energies of April/Aries to execute their plans to control and dominate the entire earth plane.  Simply put, it’s what they were born to do. The Aryan race, after all, is hardwired to conquer and control wherever they go.  That’s why, compared to the other four major races (Black, Yellow, Red, and Brown), they are responsible for most of the discovering and colonizing, conquering and controlling.
True to form, as the world evolved into a much more complex place, so has their war-mongering through false flag operations and other provocative and furtive implementation plans.   All of their false pretexts are conjured up as a prelude to wars and conflicts designed to steal the land and resources of others.  Toward that end, many of their plots and intrigues, schemes and stratagems are scheduled during the time of the year in which they will experience the greatest likelihood of success.

Welcome to the month of April!

But … the beginning of Spring and burgeoning of life everywhere north of the equator is a time of rebirth and new growth, warmth and sunlight replacing the long cold Winter. Why do TPTB use this special time of the year to start and wage wars around the globe? For them, war is their creation.  They are at their best when sowing seeds of conflict so that they can create order out of the ensuing chaos.  Hasn’t this been their MO for millennia?

“ORDO AB CHAO” = Order out of Chaos

Their most ‘creative’ phase of the calendar year has traditionally been between the Vernal Equinox (March 21) and the end of April.  Their version of Spring fever somehow affects them in such a way that they intensify all their efforts to bring about a meticulously planned New World Order.  In the midst of their yearly delirious fever they attempt to impose a tyrannical order out of the carnage and mayhem which is produced by their manufactured wars and conflicts, engineered riots and revolutions, and fabricated protests and skirmishes.
US-Directed Regime Change In The Ukraine Guaranteed To Provoke Russian Fury
“Were the staged sniper attacks in Kiev another CIA false flag operation?”

Here’s a short list of significant events and their dates which have occurred in April over the past many decades.  Pay particularly close attention to those events which occurred between April 15th and 25th.  Each of these events was carefully planned and deliberately scheduled during the month of April by the Illuminati overlords who gain astrological advantage by the chaos and confusion, strife and conflict that always ensues.  Therefore, a useful contemplation would be to consider what changes occurred in the wakes of these various trigger events. “Problem — Reaction — Solution”, also known as the Hegelian Dialectic, is an appropriate lens through which to view the relevant history.

Just how BIG will April 2014 be in the grand sweep of history?
The way astrology ought to be understood is through the many gross and subtle forces and influences which deeply effect Planet Earth and especially every human being.  Just one of the ways in which these effects are felt is through the agency of the planets, stars and major luminaries.  Particularly through the seeding of planetary, stellar, cometary and asteroidal energies throughout the earth plane of existence, does humanity fall under the spell of the gods and goddesses.  For example, even though Comet ISON has come and gone, it’s presence is still very much with us in the form of the cosmic dust (aka comet dust) which was formed upon its breaking up near perihelion.

The next important understanding is that these energies, after being seeded, can germinate and sprout at any time.  Whereas April 22nd (Earth Day) may turn out to be the next 4th of July, it may also prove to be just another day.  Nonetheless, because of what is transpiring in the heavens on that day, it WILL eventually have profound impact on the world and its people.  There can be no doubt that April 2014 will set the stage for an astonishing unfoldment of events, changes and other eventualities affecting all of mankind.

With the exception of the obvious dramas that are outworking in real time in places like the Ukraine, even the best astrologers among us would be hard pressed to predict the what, when and where.  Even if nothing of great import does happen this April, it could end up being a May Day that we all witness as what many might construe as divine intervention.  At the same time, being cognizant of the notion that the anticipated May Day celebration may very well occur in 2015, 2017, or 2023, not 2014.

This demonstrates how astrology is very similar to the mysterious ways of karma and destiny.  You know the seeds of samskara are there ready to sprout at any time, you just don’t know the time and the place.  For very good reason, by the way, as most of us would never show up if we knew what we were walking into.  Remember, 99% of what really matters in life is just showing up.
Lord Vishnu is one of three aspects of the Hindu Trinity who is responsible for maintaining the Universe.

The Most Important Prophecy Of Our Time
Honestly, the way this little game really works in the world of men can be summed up as follows:  The stars, planets and major luminaries do exert prodigious influences on the affairs of humankind.  Destiny, as they say, can always be found in the stars (and planets), but only by those who can properly read them.  In Vedic astrology each of the planets is known to be a planetary embodiment of the great God, Lord Vishnu.  In fact every planet in our Solar System is understood to be a personification, or rather planetification, of the various major incarnations of Lord Vishnu.  For example, Lord Krishna correlates with the Moon, Lord Rama with the Sun, and Lord Buddha with Mercury.  What follows is the entire list of the 10 major incarnations of Lord Vishnu and his planetary counterparts.

The tenth and final incarnation of Lord Vishnu is Lord Kalki.  His coming in the last century marks the end of the Kali Yuga and closing of the Iron Age.  Hence, we see all types of end time prophecy abound.  There is particular interest in Planet X, sometimes called the 10th Planet or Hercolubus.  Such a planet-comet would be an apt representation of Lord Kalki since His mission, as represented by the Hindu scriptures is to bring about an end to the ignorance that prevails during the Kali Yuga.  That’s exactly what He did.
Lord Kalki: His Appearance Signifies the End of the Kali Yuga

What all of these recent developments really say about the true status of the planetary civilization is that we are now a minute to midnight.  No, we are closer to midnight than that, perhaps only seconds away from the ending of the expansive 6000 year era known as the Age of Quarrel. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, most do not even have a clue, since Maya always intensifies toward the end of every Kali Yuga.  It has to be this way.  Otherwise, very few would ever get out of bed in the morning to face the brutal realities.  And so it is during the upcoming grand finale of the current age.

Lord Kalki was the long-prophesied “Rider of the White Horse”. 
The Kali Yuga Always Ends The Same Way

For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, please know that the current pandemic of ignorance and arrogance is quite purposeful.  It is induced — by the Universe itself — for the protection of the masses so that their ignorance has become bliss.  The bliss that comes with not knowing the grim realities[2] which abound everywhere one looks.

Likewise, it is only for the ultimate benefit of the controllers that their arrogance has become so unfathomable and intractable.  Difficult though it may be to understand, they have an integral part to play in this cosmic drama.  Someone always has to play the bad guy, you know.  Perhaps the time has come to show our understanding, and maybe even some appreciation, to those crazies[3] who are running the insane asylum for putting on such a convincing show.

With that acknowledged, many can now get on with the much more important business of getting their own very personal affairs in order.  By affairs it is understood to be that which ought to be in good order before our physical death.  For it is said that life is really just a preparation for death.  The better our death (one with an abiding enlightened awareness) is on the most spiritual level, the greater the likelihood that we will enjoy wherever we’re going next.

In fact, in the Eastern spiritual traditions, death is not only a doorway to a much freer and unencumbered existence, it also can present an opportunity to become liberated from the cycle of birth and death.  Our state of being, especially the purity of our mind and heart, will be instrumental in determining the next loka or plane of existence on which we find ourselves.

Therefore, it is really a great time to take good care of all that truly matters.  Protection of our mind and continual clearing of our psychic space has never been so critical.  Not only will regular detoxification of both spirit and matter guarantee our fitness to engage what is soon to come upon us, it will also potentially free us from the transmigration of souls that every individual ultimately seeks.  When one makes That the final and fullest desire, the next incarnation will conform itself to that noble and sublime wish.

Conclusion:
No one ever said it was going to be easy.  No one ever thought it was going to be this long and difficult either.  For many folks who have been out of corporate, off the grid and under the radar for years, things seem to just keep dragging on, don’t they?  Especially in American society, which was once quite structured and ordered all the way to post retirement (aka death), there are unique and formidable challenges emerging that were never anticipated.

Living in the post-modern, information-saturated, internet-dominated culture, which now prevails everywhere, has placed extraordinary demands on all concerned.  For example, even the older Beat Generation and their younger Baby Boomer brothers and sisters are feeling the heat like never before, as they age and are prematurely kicked out of the job market.  Such a predicament is creating the necessary tension and conducive environment for planet-wide transformation.  One which will only occur under extreme stress(s).  How else do individuals and families, nations and states ever change except when forced to?

Global Warming is not just affecting the weather, it also reflexes myriad effects everywhere and anywhere it must to ‘precipitate’ the needed shifts in consciousness. Were the human race to embrace a new attitude toward Mother Earth based on respect and reverence, this journey through the birth canal would be much less painful.  It has only been fraught with relentless adversities because of this slow-moving yet imperative metamorphosis of mind and matter.  Expand the awareness, expand the birth canal!
Only when the false ideals and artificial values, which took root at the onset of the now ubiquitous Consumer Society, are replaced with truly sustainable governing principles, will the momentum and direction shift in a more favorable and comfortable way.  When there are over 7 billion people partaking of the fruits of the Earth realm, how can it be any other way?

The end of every age brings unparalleled challenges and overwhelming obstacles.  As this Age of Quarrel (aka the Kali Yuga) winds down, take heart that there will be plenty of opportunities to face the fears which have held us —  both individually and collectively –back for millennia.  Since the current downward spiral will only continue to proceed until humankind makes the mandatory breakthroughs (It’s always darkest right before the dawn, yes?), we can expect to view none other than The Greatest Show On Earth.

Regardless of whether the ‘show’ appears as comedy or tragedy, when we watch the Maya with yogic detachment, we remain unaffected.  Each reading of the morning news on the net then becomes what one author calls the “daily karma report”.  Take great consolation in the fact that your personal karma report has not gone viral on the internet.  And know that there is a lot of grace involved, when so many of us can learn vicariously through the very difficult lessons of many others, whose stories have gone prime time.

Truly, life on Planet Earth has never been so exciting, yet challenging.  Trials and tribulations, pain and suffering are to be found everywhere.  Therefore, it is easy to remain compassionate.  And even easier to be grateful for not only what we have been given, but also for what we have been spared.  It is said that a grateful heart never gets depressed.

A New Heaven and a New Earth” cannot come without birth pangs.
Author’s Note:
The title – All Hell (And Heaven) Breaks Loose In 2014 — was rather obliquely discussed in this essay.  It is as loaded with innuendo and possibilities, as it is pregnant with anticipation and eventualities.  The “Hell” part is quite obvious; the “Heaven” not so easy to perceive or experience.  Herein lies the challenge which emerges at the end of every Kali Yuga.  Each person faces the outworking of their own karma and destiny. Nations have, in fact, been created to ensure that the collective destinies are experienced in the right place and at the right time.
While we are quite unable to determine what happens to us, we can completely control how we face our destiny.  We can adopt any attitude to our liking.  Likewise, we can assume whatever posture we want to toward our destiny.  When we approach our karma with faith, courage and resolve, we enjoy our own slice of paradise.  When we confront the karma with fear, lack of faith and fickleness, we experience a very distressful mental and/or emotional predicament.  After all, both heaven and hell have often been referred to as states of mind and being, while we live in the human body.
On the macrocosmic level, the course of human evolution will surely dictate the future of mankind, as well as the fate of our planetary civilization.  Of course, the state of the collective consciousness is always reflected by the macro-trajectories that are forever manifesting with the evolution of society as a whole.  Thankfully, it only requires a critical mass of enlightened souls to shift those trajectories when they are in dire need of correction —> AS THEY ARE RIGHT NOW ! ! !  

Finally, the future is never carved in stone as some scriptural prophecy would have us believe.  It is actually very fluid and dynamic, conforming to the hopes and wishes, prayers and intentions of the world’s populations.  Were they to enthusiastically coalesce around world peace, brotherhood and prosperity for all, things would change for the better … in a heartbeat.  Therefore, each of us is encouraged to hold intentions that serve the best possible outcomes for all.  In this way “All Heaven Just Might Break Loose In 2014”.

Best Advice:
There are many religious groups and yoga communities across the planet which have intentionally committed themselves to their spiritual practices during this month of April.  They possess the right knowledge that such challenging astrological periods are an excellent time to perform intensified sadhana (spiritual disciplines).  They therefore have redoubled their efforts of prayer, chanting, meditation, mantra repetition, selfless service, contemplation and hatha yoga during this amazingly transformative month.
At the same time they fully understand that it is not a good time to be staring at full lunar eclipses.  There will be four Blood Moons in a row over the next many months and the occlusion of the lunar energy is considered an inauspicious celestial event.  So why not work with it, instead of feeding it, by incessantly repeating your given mantra or special prayers.  Both solar and lunar eclipses provide great opportunities to advance on the spiritual path.  The upcoming astrological roller coaster stretch offers serious prospects of heightened self awareness, as well as liberating self-empowerment.

How the Media Hides The Truth From Being Told To The Public



Guest Post by Jon Rappoport

Sharyl Attkisson, CBS’s top investigative reporter: gone, resigned, floating free, unchained, now viewed by the news establishment as an outsider, a defector, a weirdo with an axe to grind.

Among the controversial stories she covered at CBS: Benghazi. Just as she was digging below the surface of the Obama coverup, she was cut off and shut down by her network bosses.

Here’s the crux. The Rhodes brothers.

Ben Rhodes, David Rhodes.

Ben is a deputy national security advisor to Obama and writes speeches for him. In September 2012, Ben was “instrumental,” according to ABC News, in changing the White House talking points (the story) on what happened in Benghazi.

Ben’s brother, David, is president of CBS News. Attkisson was working for David. She was investigating all the changes (12) in the Benghazi talking points. She was shut down.




Nothing to see there, move along, eyes straight ahead, go back to sleep, zombie-zombie, it’s all good don’t worry, be happy, hope and change, the audacity of whatever.

Now, on top of this, Attkisson’s computers, at work and at home, were hacked while she was still at CBS. The network acknowledged this and said “they were investigating.” They’re still investigating. So are other unnamed entities.

Who hacked her computers? CBS? The White House? NSA?

Attkisson covered other stories at CBS that were highly problematic for the White House. Fast&Furious, for example. And in the summer of 2009, Attkisson struck gold on Swine Flu. You know, the pandemic that wasn’t. She discovered that the CDC, which is tasked with tracking numbers of cases of outbreaks, had, get this, stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America. Stopped.

But the CDC was still trumpeting the extreme danger of Swine Flu, with no way to measure its true impact.

Dr. Peter Doshi, long after the whole Swine Flu dud was over, wrote a stunning report for the British Medical Journal Online. Seems that every year, hundreds of thousands of samples from suspected and diagnosed flu patients are sent to labs for analysis—and only about 16% of these samples turn out to be positive for the flu.

That’s a killer of a revelation. Among other things, it means that most people who are told they have the flu couldn’t possibly have been protected by any flu vaccine, even assuming the vaccines are useful and effective…because these people don’t have the flu.

I wrote Attkisson about Dr. Doshi’s finding, and she got back to me, in essence saying, well, yes, this is why the CDC stopped counting Swine Flu cases.

Huge numbers of people who were being diagnosed with Swine Flu didn’t have any kind of flu at all.

CBS shut down Attkisson on both the Fast&Furious story and the Swine Flu story.

Here’s an interesting bombshell. On April 1, 2011, Attkisson authored a piece for CBS News, “Vaccines and Autism: a new scientific review.” She dispelled the notion that the vaccine-autism connection was a dead issue. All sorts of red flags went up the flagpole. Mainstream media are supposed to treat vaccines, all vaccines, as holy sacraments of the medical cartel. Praise them, bow down to them, never accuse them of doing harm of any kind.

Sumner Redstone, the executive chairman of CBS, Attkisson’s employer, has a very significant stake in vaccines. His Foundation, on its site, states: “The Sumner M. Redstone Foundation’s contribution to the Global Poverty Project raising $118 million in pledges for vaccines…”

Redstone’s Foundation has also donated $1 million to a charity called Autism Speaks, which supports genetic testing for the diagnosis of Autism. You can be sure this charity has zero interest in reviving the vaccine-Autism debate and exposing the fact that there is most definitely a connection.

So Attkisson was stepping on Sumner Redstone’s toes with heavy boots.

Attkisson is now writing a book about her career. When published, it’ll land in the mainstream news cycle for a week or two at the most. Doesn’t matter how explosive its revelations are. She’s an outsider now. She isn’t in the loop. She isn’t playing the game according to the rules.

Therefore, my advice to her: come out swinging. Blast the whole rotting news establishment.

However, if Attkisson is angling for a new job at, say, FOX, or even CNN, whose ratings have gone down the toilet, she’ll have to pull her punches. Every major news outlet sits on its own reporters and gags them when things get too hot.

The first casualty in mainstream news is the truth.

Latest Report from Italy - Ebola in Italy?, Off limits to Local Pisa Hospital, Patients with Fever, Public in Fear


http://dccdn.de/pictures.doccheck.com/photos/d/d/df7dc0bb821009c04f329386060efb43_m.jpg


 From Italian press

translated with Google translate

 

MANY COME FROM MALI, WHERE HAS BEEN RECORDED SEVERAL CASES OF EBOLA

Something strange is happening in Pisa, St. Flushing. Since a few days, about 40 illegal immigrants recovered at sea by the fanatics of Mare Nostrum and from Senegal, Mali and Ghana - all areas affected by Ebola or in the vicinity of the outbreak - come in Pisa last Friday off limits in the structure of St. Flushing .
 
Doors closed and impossible to contact. Everything is mysterious. It has come to the knowledge of the question because of the association with some exalted Africa Together has been denied access to the facility.
To explain the reasons for the "no" to the request for access has been the commissioner of the city of Pisa social Sandra Capuzzi. It is not a reassuring explanation.
 
"At the base - he says - the recommendation of the doctor who visited them in the early hours and he recommended a few days of peace and quiet. Some 'refugees' have developed a' little 'fever', others conjunctivitis. Open the door now would pave the way for a bustle that we would not submit them at least for a few days. " A little 'fever. The typical initial symptom of a disease that we do not want to name.
"The health practices are still in progress: blood tests and screening are yet to be completed. We counted close to this stage in 48 hours, but missed the instructions of the Ministry with respect to the support structures has slowed down time. "
 
The only ones who have received permission to enter the property, in addition to the cooperative Paim who has been entrusted with the management, the cooperative Bridge, the Arch and the North-South Centre, "namely individuals who together with the Company's Health SPRAR are part of the project, and they're also paying legal assistance to migrants to the wording of the questions of asylum, where it is possible. "
The commissioner Capuzzi then reassures him: as soon as the fever is gone and refugees have recovered a little 'peace of access to the structure of St. Flushing will be possible.

A position reiterated the Councillor to the integration of the Province of Pisa Silvia Pagnin: "I'm going on the organizational meetings to plan the activities for migrants visitors to St. Flushing. Once you have secured a few days of peace and quiet do not think there will be no problem to open the doors to Africa together and with other associations.
 
These characters are concerned with ghostly associations and their 'guests'. If you do not care for medical emergencies, knowing that Mali has diagnosed many cases of Ebola and some still under investigation come from Senegal.

We will continue to monitor the events and update.

The United States Debt Meltdown, And The Coming Dollar Collapse

the-coming-dollar-collapse
Guest Post by John PND

The United States government and the Federal Reserve must keep interest rates near zero – because if they don’t, there will be great difficulty in paying the interest on the debt they’ve accumulated, which could bring it all (the economy and our way of life) crashing down.




There’s one problem though. The only way the United States can maintain their zero interest rate policies is for the world to continue accepting the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. The thing is – they’re not, and plans are nearly implemented to circumvent the United States dollar for major countries such as Russia and China (and others).
The carrot and the stick approach (by the United States) isn’t working so well anymore. The carrot (the strength of the dollar) is becoming increasingly rotten and the stick (the willingness to use the military) has weakened considerably as Americans have grown war weary.


There’s No More Gold

It is likely that there is little gold left in United States coffers to back up American debt. Technically the dollar is not backed by gold anyway (since Nixon in the ’70s) but the gold for the most part is believed to have left the country while much of it has gone east to Asia and beyond while the FED and gold central banks have suppressed the dollar price of gold – while it is gobbled up in the world market (apparently other nations still value this ancient relic as real money) – [sarcasm]. The United States was recently only able to deliver a tiny fraction of Germany’s gold after they requested (demanded) it – exemplifying the likelihood that there is barely any gold left on reserve. The FED refuses to audit their (supposed) gold.

Fewer Are Buying United States Debt

Fewer nations are willingly purchasing United States debt (Treasuries). The FED is looking for other ways to sell their debt, one of the latest being the new “myRA” – a covert grab for its citizens’ money, an IRA-style which invests only in United States Treasuries (debt). One wonders how long until this becomes mandatory and retirement accounts are nationalized.

The Debt Is Massive

The current United States National Debt is more than $17.5 Trillion. What that actually means for you and I is that each and every American taxpayer is personally indebted (by your being a United States citizen) for nearly $152,000. And that figure keeps rising. If you also consider the debt obligations for unfunded liabilities (Social Security & Medicare), $129 Trillion, while there are more ‘takers’ than ‘workers’ as the decay worsens – the future does not look very bright.

Few People See The Coming Collapse

A relatively few people see the collapse that is coming. The majority of those who do not see it (are refusing to see it) think the rest of us are crazy, and they mock us. Sadly many of them will be hurt badly while those of us who choose to do something about it will fare better (although we will not escape it).

Never Before In History

In all of world history, no nation (none – ever) has accumulated as much debt that the United States has. Not even close. We are the most indebted nation in the entire world. In fact the entire WORLD is in debt beyond comprehension.

Debt Comes Due

As most of us know (logically), we can only spend ‘so much’ beyond our ‘take home’ pay before we get cut off. There is always a day of reckoning. One way or the other we suffer the consequences. It is little different with nation debt.

When We’re ‘Shut Off’

When the rest of the world cuts off our debt (our credit card) – and they are beginning to do just that while finding other mechanisms for trade and currency exchange – the US dollar is done for. All of the trillions of dollars out there in the rest of the world will start rushing back home (as it’s sold off) and the inevitable result is currency inflation. This will start a chain reaction that will not be stopped. It (currency collapse) has happened eventually to EVERY currency in world history, and it WILL happen to the dollar.

Normalcy Bias

We are stuck in our normalcy bias and cannot imagine or comprehend that the dollar could possibly collapse. We live in our fairy tale world and do not have the vision or the sense of history to understand reality. We believe that we are magically isolated from economic collapse. It has never happened to us before, therefore it will never happen to us.

Caught Off Guard

When the economic situation deteriorates, most working (slaves) will be entirely caught off guard with little or no preparation – thanks to the massive mainstream coverup and propaganda (in an effort to keep everyone happy and spending).

Warning Signs

The warning signs are everywhere. We have a (mostly) corrupt government in cahoots with big business, big money, and big banks. What that is, is borderline authoritarian fascism. Most of us (thinking people) realize that few politicians actually represent our personal and individual interests over that of big money and big power – it’s an unfortunate human condition if left unchecked. The problem is that it has been essentially unchecked for far too long, and it is essentially seemingly too late. Therefore we must prepare for what lies ahead.

What Lies Ahead?

We are in uncharted territory due to the massive extent of our bad situation. Whether or not the powers-that-be will be able to control our crash landing remains to be seen. I personally believe that at some point they will lose control and all bets are off. That is what I am preparing for – more of a worst case scenario.
There will (at a minimum) be social unrest (there already is). This could easily spiral into social chaos and beyond – especially in regions. If this bubble bursts badly, the results will surely be very bad. There will be millions upon millions of people hurled into desperation as their standard of living is abruptly changed for the worse. It could be shocking. My hope is that the balloon will instead maintain it’s slow leak such that the air is released at a relatively slow rate while people attempt to adjust to their diminished circumstances. This is not to say there will be no unrest – this will only dampen the violence of an abrupt stop.

What To Do?

Your best survivability will stem from a thought process of self-sufficiency, self-protection & preservation, and insulation form dangerous geographical areas (cities and metros) which will ‘catch fire’ in a collapse.
The rest of the details are up to you and your due-diligence.
I hope that you give it some thought.

The Risks Are Massive: “Will Likely Lead to Famine and Civil Unrest”


Guest Post by Mac Slavo


With China’s debt now bursting at the seams and the economic outlook in the United States signaling a major recession the governments and central banks of the world are very rapidly running out of options.

So much so that well-respected Swiss asset manager Egon von Greyerz of Matterhorn Asset Management warns that they will have no choice but to ramp up monetary printing at an accelerated pace in 2014. Failure to do so will likely seize up the global flow of credit and lead to a massive financial collapse as liquidity gets sucked out of the system.

The problem, of course, is that policy makers have backed themselves into a corner and their only remaining option will likely lead to an even more disastrous outcome; one that will have a direct impact on your long-term financial well being and quality of life.

In the following interview with King World News von Greyerz highlights the irreversible problems faced by the economic system, risks to global stability, the likely course of action to be taken by governments, and the end result when they fail.

The world is exposed to danger to an extent that it hasn’t been for a long time. So the possibility that something unpleasant or unwelcome will happen is substantial. 
[…]
Paul Craig Roberts gives very interesting interviews on KWN. According to Roberts, the risk of a world war is high. He likens the current situation to the start of World War I. Of course we hope that there will not be another world war, but the risks are there. 
[…] 
Another major risk is, of course, the economic situation. Never have as many major countries been bankrupt. The list of these countries is getting longer all the time. 
[…] 
Coming back to all the risks we are facing, personal savings will either be bailed in or destroyed by hyperinflation. The same thing will happen to pensions and other investments.



To have a job will be a privilege in a world of mass unemployment.

We are already seeing this in many countries in Europe. And of course the real unemployment rate in the U.S. is 23 percent.
All this is likely to lead to famine and civil unrest in many countries.

So the risks are massive and the real solutions are non-existent.
Of course I hope I am wrong in these forecasts, but people must be aware of these risks. 
Full interview available at King World News
In short, one way or the other we are toast.

If they fail to print the scam is exposed for the Ponzi scheme that it is almost instantaneously as stock markets and commerce around the world crashes due to lack of stimulus.

If they print, the can gets kicked a bit farther down the road for a while longer, but eventually buckles under the weight of government debt, rising interest rates and leverage.

The only remaining choice at that point will be asset forfeiture on a mass scale. Think Cyprus deposit confiscations on a scale of hundreds of millions of people. Either that or the currency printing hyperinflates away the debt.

In both cases the people will take to the streets. And, they’ll be holding Molotov cocktails and assault rifles, not protest signs.

It’s something the government has been preparing for in recent years and you should be too.

According to Egon von Greyerz the monetary problems will cause such a disconnect in the system that asset prices are likely to skyrocket relative to their currencies:
Gold must not be seen as a trading investment but as a long-term wealth-preservation asset. People should just buy physical gold and hold it outside the banking system. The gold price will be at multiples of the current price in a few years’ time. That price could be 10 times today’s $1,300 level ($13,000), 20 times today’s level ($26,000), or even thousands of times higher in a likely hyperinflationary scenario.
As an asset manager von Greyerz focuses on precious metals. But the fact is that any asset of necessity will see its value skyrocket.

The time to prepare for a general destabilization of our economic and financial systems is now. That means acquiring assets that will, at the very least, maintain their value when all else fails.
  • Dry commodities like rice, beans, grains and other foods that can last a lifetime are assets that you will use and can hold in your physical possession without “counter party risk” should paper investments collapse.
  • Productive land where you can raise your own livestock and grow your own food may drop in price during a real estate crash, but its value to you personally could be extremely important.
  • The ability to produce energy by disconnecting from the grid as costs for propane and electricity necessarily rise is another excellent “investment” to consider.
  • Learning and perfecting new trade skills (or developing “products”) that can be used as barter when traditional methods of commerce collapse will also be essential. Look no further than the underground economy of Greece following their collapse for an idea of how important this “asset” will become.
  • Firearms and ammunition. If civil unrest takes hold and law enforcement is overwhelmed, it will be used by criminal elements as an opportunity. As time progresses, crime will undoubtedly rise. Be prepared to protect what’s yours. Moreover, when was the last time you saw a downward price trend in self defense related products?
  • And, of course, precious metals with which to trade when dollars are no longer trusted should be part of any diversified prepper portfolio. We recommend first starting out with various physical silver units and working your way up to gold if financially feasible.
Yes, the global financial, economic and political systems are under extreme stress and there is a distinct possibility that a collapse is inevitable at this point.

But that doesn’t mean we have to be victims.

Inequality In The U.S. Is “Higher Than In Any Other Society at Any Time In The Past, Anywhere"


Guest Post by Washingtonsblog

Worst Inequality In History Leads to Dynastic Wealth … And It Will Only Get Worse Unless We Change Policy

Inequality in the U.S. is now the highest ever recorded in the country.
Inequality in America today is twice as bad as in ancient Rome, worse than it was in Tsarist Russia, Gilded Age America, modern Egypt, Tunisia or Yemen, many banana republics in Latin America, and worse than experienced by slaves in 1774 colonial America.
Economist and inequality expert Thomas Piketty notes that – according to an important measure – inequality in America today is the worst in world history:
For those who work for a living, the level of inequality in the U.S. – writes Piketty – is “… probably higher than in any other society at any time in the past, anywhere in the world …”
In other words, there might have been some squalid country in the distant past where the disparity between people without any job and the king was higher than between a jobless American and the top fatcat in the U.S.
But the spread between the minimum wage American worker and the American oligarch is the greatest in world history.
Indeed, inequality in America has become so extreme that the “99% versus the 1%” meme is grossly inaccurate … because it’s really the .01% versus the 99.99%.
Paul Krugman notes:
A lot of what we know about inequality actually comes from [Piketty], because he’s been an invisible presence behind a lot. So when you talk about the 1 percent, you’re actually to a larger extent reflecting his prior work. But what he’s really done now is he said, “Even those of you who talk about the 1 percent, you don’t really get what’s going on. You’re living in the past. You’re living in the ’80s. You think that Gordon Gekko is the future.”
And Gordon Gekko is a bad guy, he’s a predator. But he’s a self-made predator. And right now, what we’re really talking about is we’re talking about Gordon Gekko’s son or daughter. We’re talking about inherited wealth playing an ever-growing role. So he’s telling us that we are on the road not just to a highly unequal society, but to a society of an oligarchy. A society of inherited wealth, “patrimonial capitalism.”
***
So we are going probably, unless something gets better, we’re going to look back nostalgically on the early 21st century when you could still at least have the pretense that the wealthy actually earned their wealth. And, you know, by the year 2030, it’ll all be inherited.
In other words, we’re going from oligarchy to dynastic royalty.
Nobel prize winning economist Robert Shiller and Former Goldman Sachs managing director Nomi Prins also say that inequality may get much worse than it is now.
Postscript: Mainstream economists like Krugman – who long discounted the importance of inequality – now finally admit that runaway inequality destroys the economy.
Unfortunately (and ironically), the policies which they push are the very thing causing extreme inequality in the first place.

The Scary Truth About the New York City Flu Vaccine Mandate


Guest Post by Missy Fluegge


This year, 150,000 children will be added to the list of victims of forced vaccination. The leaders of New York City have mandated that all children under the age of six years old who attend day care or preschool must be vaccinated with the flu vaccine.

The official requirement mandates that all children between the ages of six months and five years who will be attending day care or preschool in New York City must be vaccinated between July 1 and December 31 of any given year. One health official claims that the rule won’t officially be enforced until the end of 2014, and a press release from the New York City Board of Health states that they will begin issuing violations on January 1, 2016. [1] [2]

New York City already mandates that children must be vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, chicken pox, and tetanus. The new mandate is expected to affect 150,000 children under the age of six. Daycare and preschool facilities will be required to enforce the mandates or face they will face fines. [3]

Reason #1: It Interferes with Parental Choice

Regardless of people’s views about the safety and efficacy of vaccines, many people would agree that it should be an individual’s right to choose – or, in the case of a minor, a parent’s right to choose – which substances are injected into their body.



Well-known groups comprising large numbers of employees in New York are already opposed to vaccine mandates, including the New York State Public Employees Federation and the New York State Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). [4]

In its own statement regarding vaccination, even the American Medical Association (AMA) grants approval for medical personnel to receive exemptions for vaccines due to a “recognized medical, religious, or philosophic reason,” exemptions which are more lenient than those granted to babies and preschool children affected by the NYC mandate.

Also in question is whether or not the city government has the authority to mandate vaccines. City officials claim that their Health Department has “authority over all matters concerning health in New York City” through the City Charter.

Recently, many Americans were outraged by the decision of officials from United Arab Emirates to mandate forced breastfeeding for the first two years of a child’s life. We knew that forcing someone to breastfeed, regardless of the benefits of breastfeeding, infringed on their personal right to make choices about their own bodies. Yet, some people fail to recognize that vaccination, the injection of foreign substances into one’s body, should also be a choice. [5]

Reason #2: The Flu Vaccine is Ineffective
The most recent statistics, based on scientific studies published by well-known media channels such as USA Today and The Huffington Post, demonstrate the flu vaccine’s inability to prevent the flu. Contrary to what vaccine manufacturers want us to believe, the flu vaccine will not make us healthier.

An article published on the website for USA Today stated, “This season’s flu vaccine was almost completely ineffective in people 65 and older.” One source from Vanderbilt University’s School of Medicine stated, “Everyone at CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting was scratching their heads over this.” [6] A similar article published by The Huffington Post reported an overall effectiveness rate of only 59 percent. [7]

Older adults are not the only group of people who experience few benefits from the flu vaccine. The CDC itself, when answering the question “How effective is the flu vaccine in children?” on its website, admits that “reduced benefits of flu vaccine are often found in studies of young children,” especially those under two years of age, the very age group targeted by this vaccine mandate. [8]

Influenza and similar illnesses can be caused by over 200 to 300 viruses, and some research indicates that vaccines may be most effective against combating influenza A and B, which comprise a mere ten percent of circulating viruses. Often, people mistake flu-like symptoms for influenza, and they don’t actually have the flu.

Furthermore, if you win the “flu lottery,” by actually contracting one of the three strains of flu that happens to be in this season’s flu vaccine, the vaccine will be worthless if your body hasn’t fully responded to the vaccine (which takes two weeks) or if too much time (more than three months) has passed between vaccination and viral exposure. [9] [10]

Reason #3: The Flu Vaccine is Dangerous
According to the CDC, the flu vaccine contains thimerosal, aluminum, antibiotics, egg protein, aborted human fetal cells, and monosodium glutamate (MSG). Our immune systems may be unable to combat these foreign, toxic substances, especially while under the influence of very common conditions such as high sugar intake, low vitamin D3 levels, and damaged gut lining.

According to a search of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) website, in the past five years, (during the period from January 2009 until February 2014) there were 55, 578 adverse events reported to VAERS related to the flu vaccine. Of these adverse events, 7,904 affected children under the age of six. [11]

Most disturbing among these numbers are the reported 47 children age five and under who died after receiving the flu vaccine during the past five years alone.

Keep in mind, vaccine injuries and deaths are grossly under-reported. Less than ten percent of vaccine injuries are actually reported, which brings the likely death toll from the flu vaccine to over one hundred children per year. [12]

Are There Exemptions for This Mandate?
Yes, although options for parents who don’t wish to vaccinate their children are limited. New York State allows medical and religious exemptions, although philosophical exemptions against vaccines are not granted. Fortunately, children who attend family day cares in people’s homes are currently exempt from the flu vaccine mandate. [13]

Conclusion

Families should not be forced to inject their child with toxic substances. They should not be forced to receive a vaccine that is ineffective and dangerous. They should not be forced to give up their preferred choice for quality, early childhood education and care programs in order to avoid forced vaccination. Families should be allowed to make the choices for their health and well-being that are best for their family.

If your child attends day care or preschool in New York City, we urge you to contact your elected officials and tell them you are against forced vaccination for your child. In addition, you may exercise your right to choose a religious exemption from the flu vaccine mandate, or enroll your child in a family day care, where they will be exempt from mandatory vaccination against the flu.

Finally, whether or not your child is affected by the latest NYC vaccine mandate, we urge you to learn about vaccine legislation where you live and research vaccine ingredients. You can download a free vaccine research guide right now to protect your child from unwanted, toxic substances contained in vaccines.
