ITCCS Citizens Arrest Warrant for Peter Montague" The Rainbow Warrior Speaks

"What is happening world wide with the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State is important to me as the faithkeeper of the Land of Peace, and to the world. It is an action that supercedes federal law and crumbles the corporate government, the corporate agenda and the bottom line. My efforts and support is whole-heartedly behind the actions of Rev. Kevin Annett and the men and women working as one around the globe getting results where the judiciary, government and the legal system who are in collusion, will be forced again to police each other. This action of ITCCS by all legal definitions supercedes federal law and finally we have an authority with clout acting on behalf of a hurt and suffering people that can barely defend themselves."

Desmond Grundy on Liquid Lunch Radio 3-6-13 about the OPPT… VIDEO (and MP3)

http://kauilapele.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/desmond-grundy-on-liquid-linch-radio-3-6-13-video/

From Kauilapele:

This is the Desmond Grundy interview portion on this show, “Liquid Lunch”.

The only “issue” I saw here (go to about 00:38) was at the beginning when he talks about the trustees as being “in charge”. There is no one, or two, or three, which are “in charge”. The OPPT is not a “top down” structured organization. It is a “ground up” one, by the people, and for the people.

But overall, I liked the message Desmond presented here. And you can see the excitement build in the interviewers throughout the show.

And here is an MP3 version of this show. http://tinyurl.com/abhf6nl

Questions and Answers

March 5, 2013

Question: Ok what I think is people are worried about who is in charge and who's going to be dictating what they can spend their new funds on and the properties they acquire will be in the hands of the Trustees…

Heather: you are in charge of your own value...spend it on what you choose by your free will without damaging another...it is unlawful and illegal for any one to dictate to any one else against their free will ...even if you damage another, the remedy is already set...you are responsible and liable for damages.

that is what we have been telling the people on the planet...BE conscious...BE responsible...everything you DO, you are responsible and liable for...not any other's DO'ing and BE'ing...

Question: Is the National Security Act of 1947 going to shut down? I heard there was a lot of illegal operation, black operation to support the parallel government that runs behind National Security Act of 1947.

Heather: PTW [Powers that Were] put the whole planet under UCC...the people took it back the same way it was taken...as it is bound so shall it be unbound.

Question: HEATHER, please respond to this video when able. 

ALERT on OPPT (On Peoples Public Trust) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjp_9nlrBao

Heather: it's data of the Absolute Data. Beautiful contrasts have been becoming visible and more obvious every day! It is the moment NOW for all to make some choices based on the data of NOW.... and then from there, more data becomes visible and more obvious and more choices are made....etc. CHOICE NOW? Are you going to BE responsible and liable for your BE'ing and DO'ing? or NOT? If you are...then your every thought, word, and action of DO'ing and BE'ing protects and guards that. If NOT...then your every thought, word and action does not protect and guard your BE'ing and DO'ing...which one do you think the PTW are focused on right now?...have always been focused on and tried to increase the numbers of?

Question: Heather, I had someone mention to me that a cestui que vie trust is very similar to the OPPT filings. 

Heather: That was probably the most boring and complex part of the investigations. we did the investigation and boots in the trenches on that matter though so that we could make sure that no one else would have to ever wade through that crap again...all that is left is BE'ing and each is responsible for them self...the sole trustee, custodian, administrator, beneficiary, and executor of their BE'ing.

Question: It doesn't matter that trust has been crushed by OPPT.

Heather: It was collapsed by REGISTRATION of the BE'ing...because that collapsed the straw man which was the PTW's construct "state of body" to enslave...now you are all just "states of body of BE'ing"

QUESTION: Has been coming up regarding student loans, mortgages, etc. 

Heather: Almost every loan, if not every loan, is fraud… No loan was made. If no loan was made then no debt could lawfully or legally exist. Was a loan made? Here is what they would have to produce in order testability that a loan was made that you may have a debt: 

1. Produce documentation of prior title, ownership and rights to the money they purportedly loaned you;

2. produce documentation of the history and origin of funds that they purportedly had prior title, ownership and rights to that they purportedly loaned you (banking requires 3 generations at least if not all the way back to issuance/creation of the alleged funds...this is why banks issue a letter of origin/history of funds);

3. produce documentation of the actual transaction and transfer of said funds (prior title, ownership, and rights) from loaner to borrower (invoicing/receipts) there is a difference between a "loan" and "debt", conceptually and factually.

Look up the definitions of loan and debt. [Look up the] difference between statement and invoice...only an invoice has to be paid...however they would first have to show that they made you a loan...if no loan, each invoice is fraud, mail fraud, etc.

Question: Does the UCC apply to countries besides America? 

Heather: Regarding other countries saying the UCC is not applicable to them. The Prime Commercial Registry is broken down into branches internationally [like a franchise or department]. UCC is one of them, through the Principal Agent Doctrine, UCC 1-103, Any and all state, national, and international equivalents… All were served, noticed, and registered by entering the Prime Commercial Registry from any one of its branches/franchises/departments...OPPT entered in through Washington, D.C. … in UK…the branch/franchise is London City. And every country has their own...they hide them well....just Google Commercial Code, Commercial Law, Commercial Regulation, to ferret [find] out the particulars for any specific country ...however as stated above it was already lawfully and legally taken through the branch right to the Prime Commercial Registry and is applicable to each and every branch/franchise/department of that Prime Commercial Registry on the planet. 

Question: When will the CVACS be available for new community like enterprises such as a farm purchase for an eco-community? 

Heather: I am working on CVACS now to get the 193 set up...then the first system of assistance that will go live after CVACS established is the system of treasury. 

The rest of the systems of assistance will follow that first system of assistance. 

The sole purpose and order for the CVACS is to get Absolute Data on the Table and guard the space so that the people can choose by their free will what resonates with in each of them....the purpose of the CVACS is not to tell the people what to Do or how to BE...that is why the OPPT spent so much energy and time (has it really only been two months if that?) on focusing the attention on BE'ing...the energy of each of your BE'ing is what fills the CVAC, giving it life! J

Question: What is the 193 CVAC setup?

Heather: To make the transition from what you thought you all had to what you do have...we mirrored the old geographical locations for branches that assist the people wherever they may decide to venture...there are basically 195 registered corporations operating under the guise of government...COUNTRIES in the old system... the Vatican was one of the corporations...but for specific reasons that was not included in the 194 CVAC authorized BRANCHES.

Question: Can someone explain to me what the oppt logo means please and is Heather a member of the UCC as I have been told that for any UCC documents or filings to work you have to be a member.

Heather: It evolved throughout inception visibly giving notice of where we were at...the current logo has all separations recognized and put with in Circle of Absolute Truth...including the Commercial Registry. Oh, are you talking about David Wynn Miller's data? That data was changed as of May 4, 2000, and returned to the true absolute owners, the one people of the planet, equally, December 21, 2011...so, yep, we are all owners of it and can choose to DO with it as we see fit ;)

Question: If the UCC has been foreclosed on why is it still operating? 2) why has heather not started a court case or hearing for the foreclosure against the UCC?

Heather: Regarding protocols and delivery address for hard copy wet-ink originals...getting that prepared now...please...a little patience you beautiful DO'ers...it is the weekend and four little ones that I am having fun making crazy...or maybe they are making me crazy...lovin' mutual givin'! (chuckle)

Question: Is the OPPT is a public trust?

Heather: Its fundamentally and structurally different. it is a trust of creation...when you, I or any of the others were created...it was between each of us and Creator...creator domicile the value in the body...you operate the body and are responsible for the value...you are a trust...I am a trust...each of the others is a trust....we are all the trust...some are asking "who appointed those three"...as Trusts/Trustees of our Self’s...we each took responsibility and liability for our BE'ing and DO'ing and were going back in for the value commandeered and stolen...and recognized the Absolute Truth that all others were equal...so rather than just DO for our self’s...we also reconfirmed, re-verified, and DO guard, protect and preserve the Absolute Truth and opportunity for each of the others...for the others to make the choice whether they BE responsible and liable for their self and value by their free will choice...Does that clear that question up? There are moments when one of the three Trustee’s skills are more honed and that Trustee has usually rotated to the front of the guard to shield or highlight the appropriate data ... Sometimes it is all three of us together...sometimes it is all three of us with the people together …right now...the Trustees are guarding the space from the PTS so that the people can remember how to BE and DO ... And one day perhaps the tool of OPPT can be retired (heart) because every one is responsible and liable for all that they BE and DO.

Question: Their contention, that calling it a Public Trust, does not necessarily make it a Public Trust. Therein lies the dispute. They insist it is more like a cestui que.

Heather: "great!!!!!!! If there is a dispute, error, or falsity make AND deliver a duly verified sworn DECLARATION OF REBUTTAL to the duly verified, sworn and REGISTERED OPPT DECLARATION OF FACTS, point by point, with specificity and particularity, with full responsibility and liability, under the penalty of perjury under any law you identify, that the forgoing is true and accurate, signed by your wet-ink signature."

Question: I was told that Heather is going to arrange to speak with Winston Shrout soon, if not today - about OPPT.

Heather: He only wants to talk in private no recording...after he started with public and transparency...I already offered to talk...transparently, but he is now not willing...

I don't even have a number for Winston...I looked for a few the other day and found some website that looks to be his...so I just wrote an open letter instead giving him and the people more data in regards to the main issue of the "lien"/"levy" tools we determined were not applicable...still looking for a number...but if he doesn't want to talk now...and I am not up for a 3 hour like happened with Adnan and Mike (face palm)...there is other DO'ing happening right now that I do focus on for the systems.

( inserted note by D:  When a friend of ours approached Mr. Shrout to do a recorded conversation with Heather and himself, he received a reply from Linda Joslin stating that Winston would not do any more radio shows about/on OPPT- which in my opinion is sorta humorous...)

Heather:  funny...thought Winston wasn't doing any shows on/regarding OPPT?

http://freedomclubusa.com/oppt

Heather:  THIS will bring a great data festival!!!!!!  DHS, inclusive of Navy, old hitters, undercover agents within "patriot" movements, etc.... (heart)...perhaps this will be the catalyst for disclosure about the corporate/BANK/BIS/UN initiated movements and programs, including Arab Spring, OCCUPY WALL STREET, Watt riots, Seattle World Trade Center riots, etc....funnnnn!!!

(inserted note by D:  Charlie Miller will also be on this radio show with Winston Shrout.  According to the data I have been receiving, this will most likely be a last ditch effort to try to convince the world that he should be the boss of OPPT..... even though, he refused to sign a Bond to be Self-Transparent, Self-Responsible, Self-Accountable and Personally Liable for all that he does as a Trustee without condition, as the other Trustees- Heather, Randall, and Caleb- have signed.)

Question:  what does it mean to this 'process' that the state filings from WA were removed from the commercial registry - citing (in that letter you posted) that it's against policy to place a lien on public officials, etc. (even though a lien wasn't filed on public officials)?

Heather: you can "enter" things in the commercial registry from any of its branches, state and international portals...that remedy was entered from two portals in that example state (WA) and international (WA DC)...Caleb's was done using WA DC and OREGON, and Randall's was done using WA and WA DC.  The remedy presevered had specific process to do...if any part of that process is removed, then the whole remedy would be worthless...so the PTW thought at least.

Heather: except that it wasn't a lien...so there was no basis to destroy/remove any part of the process of remedy.  However, when they did it...the destroyed the preservation of remedy and rendered the system by their own actions, illegal and unlawful as a matter of law, fact and public policy.

Question: Heather, how do I go about creating a CVAC for a heart repair business? We are pulling out of February's funky energy, and moving into March madness... I have an established track record of fixing broken hearts. This week's incoming energy has been pounding me... I retired from the heart repair business in 2007, because I was worn-out and heart-broken, myself. I have been wondering about the direction I should take for the last 18+ months. This evening, I received clarity. How do I create a CVAC for a heart repair business?

Heather: You ARE the CVAC...your knowingly, willingly and intentionally BE'ing responsible and liable for all that you DO = value and any specific DO'ing, inclusive of creating a heart repair business, IS, and those you CO-DO or DO for in that business, you are liable to them and them to you as mutually agreed/contracted...if you feel you need a transition tool from that old paradigm of "licensing" under the private corporations that were foreclosed...one option is to REGISTER your business on the COMMERCIAL REGISTRY...BE'ing's as secured party and the "entity" as Debtor party...THEN you can use that registration UCC File No. as the entities "IDENTITY NUMBER" so that people can find it and confirm you BE/DO with full responsibility and liability.

Question: Technically, we shouldn't have to file in court, its a living soul to living soul interaction. No foreclosed courts needed.

Heather: All private Courts operating under the guise of public courts already foreclosed...they have to establish standing, authority, and law before they can even get to the point of "you are required to come" bit.

Question: "Notice to Principal is notice to agent. Notice to Agency is notice to principal.' Send it to the CEO [principal] you can almost always find their name on the company website. I know Heather mentions educating from the bottom up, however, why not start at the top down and or top down and bottom up.

Heather: Top already done...education so to speak is from the bottom up NOW and if the "bottom up" see the people standing and BE'ing and DO'ing kindly but firmly with grace and love...it starts up that water cooler talk within the offices, but also within the eternal heart and the mind. (heart)

Question: How many CVACs are up & running now? last I heard it was just the one. hopefully there are more now.

Heather: 7+ Billion on this planet...more in Source's Universe (going through similar thing or surprises that they did not expect (chuckle)) Many CVAC's are DO'ing and BE'ing awesome...some are a bit shaky, but holding that desire and absolutely starting to get it...a few are holding that contrast so that the others can consciously make an informed choice that they BE and DO by their free will with responsibility and liability....OR NOT.

CVAC SYSTEM (REGISTERED as GOVERNMENT)...one is up and running the remaining 193 are being refined for formal activation this week...the one that is up and running is also being refined for formal renewal.

Question: Guy in OPPT UK is going to jail for tax evasion. He done the OPPT notice but he still going to jail. Watt should he do. They claim UCC don’t work because tax evasion is criminal to them!

Heather: did "they" produce the documentation of their standing, authority, law and the original wet-ink signature accommodation agreement that this guy signed (not).

Question: These notices don’t enforce anything. We still getting walked over!

Heather: OPPT took care of the old stuff...the CN's are you BE'ing and DO'ing responsible and liable without confrontation, with grace. It appears they walk all over you and they hope that you will accept that as truth so that they don't have to answer...what DO you consciously choose...if they DO not answer then they cannot enforce as a matter of law, matter of fact and as a matter of public policy…you cannot stop them from making their free will choice to BE corrupt or ignorant, which are THEIR terms and conditions of offer to contract with you...but you can keep them liable and responsible by giving them your terms and conditions of offer to contract with fee schedules for what it costs them to be corrupt, irresponsible and ignorant, inclusive of failing to produce their standing, authority, law and a an accommodation agreement (that says you agree/belong to a corporation) with your wet-ink signature...give them your terms and conditions and offer to contract with courtesy notice of what was done by OPPT, the one people of the planet...by their own former "legal rules" they loose as a matter of law, fact and public policy that they all brought under UCC.

Question: I'm very ready to get started on bondservant/public servant.

Heather: Bondservants were certified as satisfied and reconciled back to Absolute...co-creator (because that is Absolute Truth and also because we did not want PTW to fabricate a "creator" to put us back into "divine" or other slavery where we would have to play "undivine" or "slave"...see December 10, 2012 UCC filing No. 2012132883...otherwise BE of service to self and help others if you so choose by your free will with responsibility and liability...no bond or "sign up" required by CVAC's to CVAC's...

Question: [Can you share your views] n Energy and its Harvesting and how collective Energy "has been" used and how WE can infuse a "kNew Energy" for Intentive Transformation , I imagine this knowledge shared from Her perspective centered in Love will create a "kNew" wave and Views of DoIng and BeIng .... many Blessings!

Heather: it is already happening...all your BE'ing and DO'ing, inclusive of between December 25, 2012 to present...has draw huge amounts of energy for you to pull down and manifest as you choose...no collective is required...the Absolute Frequency of that energy is pure...which is why the PTW cannot access it or use it directly...they hoped they could at least manipulate through old tools of fear, warring, separation and harvesting (religion, Gregorian calendar, schools, corporations, Face book, Google, etc.) to get you to all DO in the manner that serves their sole interests...your tools of resonance and following what resonates within has pretty much squashed that hope of theirs (chuckle)

Question: Foreclosures reversed: Story: my friend had a BOA person come to her house cuz she's behind/in foreclosure, and he told her that people are getting their homes back...they are going to court is what she said to me.

Heather: They know they can't just take the homes at this point as they had been DO'ing...the best option they concluded they had was to get the people to come into the private courts and consent (albeit unknowingly, unwillingly, and unintentionally) to a revised contract, reaging of the accounts revised model (that is why purported collection agencies demand that people pay even just five dollars over the phone (no cash) so that they can leverage the value that was just given them) (chuckle) similar to the TARP and mortgage programs that failed...the beginning of the investigations focused on that sham and the purpose of that...the value from that "program" 700+ billion USD had already been paid out to large fraudulent securities holders CHINA and others so that they wouldn't tell..

Question: Next step normally would be to set a court date, Everyone is familiar with the CN's,, which say,, no phone contract,, so question I have is,, do I call Monday, or go to court house and inquire about a court day,, or call the Attorney, and ask him how his week end reading was ?

Heather: [G]o[ing] in to (foreclosed) private court is consent to their offer to contract and terms and conditions (most tacit aka hidden or presumed with out giving notice or transparency)...did they accept your offer to contract? if it is ongoing matter, did you cancel the securities they cut/issued from your case? They use your signatures as the underwriting for securities...begins when you open a case or when you answer their complaint. Examples of collapsing the underwriting of the securities, known and unknown: AT 4:58 AM THERE ARE 3 PDF FILES THAT HEATHER PROVIDED. I DON’T HAVE HEATHER AS A CONTACT SO I COULD NOT OPEN THE FILES. PERHAPS YOU CAN?

Question: Is it possible to send out a blanket courtesy notice to a electrical company who are robbing a lot of people by putting the bills up and up, I was talking to someone who thought his bill was too high at 60.00 and mine is 136.00 way, way too high...... and no I don't use a lot of power or have a lot of stuff plugged in.

Heather: yes...you want to focus on the contract that was cut giving that corporation power and authority over nature...energy....the contract and agreements are very interesting and detailed...the brokers/agents of the PTW want to secure their piece of the pie...it is hilarious and reliable.

Question: Does anyone know if I actually owe $$$$ if I received products from the use a credit card?

Heather: credit cards work the same as promissory notes...each credit receipt is actually a promissory note that is then leveraged...but they can't produce documentation either that a loan was actually made... (chuckle)

Question: Any thoughts on whether I can help someone with the CN? i.e.: get persons name and send on their behalf?

Heather: This is about responsibility and liability...as a former attorney...we are trained to do "on behalf of"..what they don't tell you is that "on behalf of" establishes the incompetence of the one you are intent on helping...hence, purported judges instance on labelling and recording you as "pro se" and not "pro per"....pro se=appearing on behalf of one's self (FICTION) vs. pro er = appearing as your self (BE'ing).

Question: I'm looking for a remedy of not having the funds to pay my back taxes,, the only remedy that is offered is to sell my home at tax sale, and that’s not very appealing,, , so this would make their actions illegal wouldn't it?

Heather: AND who is asking for payment (purported taxes)? Did you require them to produce their standing, authority, law, and the accommodation agreement with your wet-ink signature? They have to show those before they can demand something.

Question: Question: Heather can you explain how the penal code (law) fits in with OPPT? Is there a hierarchy of law? Which law takes precedence over the other, which one is more important? Common Law or other Laws?

Heather: penal code..criminal code...all codes are private corporate rules operating under the guise of government, unless they can produce documentation of their standing, authority, law and your accommodation agreement with your wet-ink signature...."no one goes to jail without their consent" (from a retired judge).

Question: In a Federal Case brought against a friend and her Son for growing Marijuana for medicinal purposes in CA (where it is actually LEGAL TO DO) what would the best OPPT approach be. They are facing 15 years each. She had a Son who died of cancer when he was 9 and his oncologist was the one who taught her how to use it. The court will not allow medical data as a defence (even though it manufactures and exports it to other countries for medicinal use). She goes to Court on April 2nd I believe.

Heather: Is this about her and her story or is this about her saying to them "what is your standing, authority, law, and the original accommodation agreement with my wet-ink signature?" If they produced any of those documents then you would understand exactly how they got you to unknowingly, unwillingly, and intentionally consent to something you did not have the material facts to...and in the same instance they give you the evidence of their own "crimes" (chuckle)

Question: I wonder how will we travel from nation to nation with passports? Or with out Passports? Maybe another kind of Passport document?

Heather: ask for identification interview...they cannot lawfully and legally stop or deny any one the right to travel...unless you consent to them doing so.

Question: how can I use the CVAC to stop paying for the registration to the state on my car without having trouble with the so called police?

Heather: your car was still in the system prior to OPPT filings? there was a process to take it out of system (all car titles were held by agents of PTW...WB/IMF/BIS, etc.)...OPPT took care of all that in the filings...Courtesy Notices reference all of that and give them the terms and conditions to engage with you and your car (chuckle)...

Question: I have a mandatory invitation from the police for today - claiming something about purchase, possession and processing of some healing-herbs - that I NEVER "purchase" but FIND - NEVER claim to "possess" but merely >utilize and >share* - and the "processing" is more like an involuntary but definitely *desirable* occurrence.. I’ll just ignore that I guess.

Heather: Send them a courtesy notice with your terms and conditions to contract in order to engage with you...inclusive of condition to produce documentation of their standing, authority, law and original accommodation agreement with your wet-ink signature.

Question: Hemp is a great resource for lot of things. This is no joke. I heard hemp make very good writing paper.

Heather: Hemp plant...hhhmmm....restricting nature? what is their standing authority law and the accommodation agreement...have you seen the patent and the former UN treaties on marijuana/hemp? Oh my gosh it is as hilarious as CHINA making it illegal for any one to reincarnate without prior government approval (rofl)...ahhh but the Absolute Data on THAT is interesting! ;)...and no it is not a China/Tibet only issue...

Question: Is the National Security Act of 1947 going to shut down? I heard there was a lot of illegal operation, black operation to support the parallel government that runs behind National Security Act of 1947.

Heather: Cancelled last summer.

Question: If I understand the Doing correctly, in order to DO, it should be without reservation and with total and full BElief in what one is DOing; we have listened to many speak of this on the radio shows.

Heather: not belief...just conscious knowing, willing and intentional responsibility and liability for what one is DO'ing...knowing is more powerful, effective and attracts more energy behind it than belief....belief more than faith...all those are more when done consciously than unconsciously.

Question: You answered a previous question about Doing for someone else regarding the CN and I got that; my question is, when and how will this cease to be an issue for BEings that may not have the ability to do this on their own?

Heather: That is where I would say...Caleb, Randall, and I were knowingly, willingly, and consciously responsible and liable for what we chose to DO ...BE responsible and liable for our respective BE'ing and DO'ing....but also consciously choosing to preserve that opportunity to BE and DO with responsibility and liability if they chose/choose to DO so. ASSISTING OTHERS TO ASSIST THEM SELF. I worked for over a year to make sure and refine my own process of assisting others to assist them self and NOT FOR BE TO DO ON THEIR BEHALF...wasn't perfect at it for sure...maybe still not... (heart)

Question: However, what if that person IS incompetent? We are paying my mother-in-law's mortgage and debts. She has stage 3 Alzheimer's and my husband has invoked the poa (power of attorney) for her. Can he send CNs on her behalf? Or should we have her sign the CNs, even though she would have no idea what she is signing (plus she is blind so signature, in addition to not being legible, would be nowhere near the line).

Heather: That is a different situation in where you consciously choose to be of service, with full responsibility liability....same as what the Trustees did with the foreclosure and preserving the opportunity...the people may not have asked for us to do that, but we had access to the mechanisms, operations, and data that the people did not (those that did have it were either participants/beneficiaries/agents of PTW, receiving an unlawful and illegal benefit...and then there were a few who tried to force their way into the club meanwhile charging those of the people they deemed worthy of taking with them or saying "I’ll get you this if you give me the authority to act for you, but I can't disclose things to you or none of us get paid...same game PTW played with their agents....THE PEOPLE DESERVED BETTER in our knowing...they deserve what is theirs)...sooooo DO consciously with full responsibility and liability...you are her co-custodians...DO'ing by preserving her opportunity to DO if and when she can.



The Revolution Within the Revolution Will Continue

The Legacy of Hugo Chávez: 21st Democracy, Break from Empire and Dignity for Latin America

http://dissidentvoice.org/2013/03/the-revolution-within-the-revolution-will-continue/#more-47943

The death of Hugo Chávez is a great loss to the people of Venezuela who have been lifted out of poverty and have created a deep participatory democracy. Chavez was a leader who, in unity with the people, was able to free Venezuela from the grips of US Empire, bring dignity to the poor and working class, and was central to a Latin American revolt against US domination.

Chávez grew up a campesino, a peasant, raised in poverty. His parents were teachers, his grandmother an Indian whom he credits with teaching him solidarity with the people. During his military service, he learned about Simon Bolivar, who freed Latin America from Spanish Empire.

This gradually led to the modern Bolivarian Revolution he led with the people. The Chávez transformation was built on many years of a mass political movement that continued after his election, indeed saved him when a 2002 coup briefly removed him from office. The reality is Venezuela’s 21st Century democracy is bigger than Chávez.  This will become more evident now that he is gone.

The Lies They Tell Us

If Americans knew the truth about the growth of real democracy in Venezuela and other Latin American countries, they would demand economic democracy and participatory government, which together would threaten the power of concentrated wealth. Real democracy creates a huge challenge to the oligarchs and their neoliberal agenda because it is driven by human needs, not corporate greed. That is why major media in the US, which are owned by six corporations, aggressively misinform the public about Chávez and the Bolivarian Revolution.

Mark Weisbrot of the Center for Economic and Policy Research writes:

The Western media reporting has been effective. It has convinced most people outside of Venezuela that the country is run by some kind of dictatorship that has ruined it.

In fact, just the opposite is true. Venezuela, since the election of Chávez, has become one of the most democratic nations on Earth. Its wealth is increasing and being widely shared. But Venezuela has been made so toxic that even the more liberal media outlets propagate distortions to avoid being criticized as too leftist.

We spoke with Mike Fox, who went to Venezuela in 2006 to see for himself what was happening. Fox spent years documenting the rise of participatory democracy in Venezuela and Brazil. He found a grassroots movement creating the economy and government they wanted, often pushing Chávez further than he wanted to go.

They call it the “revolution within the revolution.” Venezuelan democracy and economic transformation are bigger than Chávez. Chávez opened a door to achieve the people’s goals: literacy programs in the barrios, more people attending college, universal access to health care, as well as worker-owned businesses and community councils where people make decisions for themselves. Change came through decades of struggle leading to the election of Chávez in 1998, a new constitution and ongoing work to make that constitution a reality.

Challenging American Empire

The subject of Venezuela is taboo because it has been the most successful country to repel the neoliberal assault waged by the US on Latin America. This assault included Operation Condor, launched in 1976, in which the US provided resources and assistance to bring friendly dictators who supported neoliberal policies to power throughout Latin America. These policies involved privatizing national resources and selling them to foreign corporations, de-funding and privatizing public programs such as education and health care, deregulating and reducing trade barriers.


In addition to intense political repression under these dictators between the 1960s and 1980s, which resulted in imprisonment, murder and disappearances of tens of thousands throughout Latin America, neoliberal policies led to increased wealth inequality, greater hardship for the poor and working class, as well as a decline in economic growth.

Neoliberalism in Venezuela arrived through a different path, not through a dictator. Although most of its 20th century was spent under authoritarian rule, Venezuela has had a long history of pro-democracy activism. The last dictator, Marcos Jimenez Perez, was ousted from power in 1958. After that, Venezuelans gained the right to elect their government, but they existed in a state of pseudo-democracy, much like the US currently, in which the wealthy ruled through a managed democracy that ensured the wealthy benefited most from the economy.

As it did in other parts of the world, the US pushed its neoliberal agenda on Venezuela through the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. These institutions required Structural Adjustment Programs (SAP) as terms for development loans. As John Perkins wrote in Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, great pressure was placed on governments to take out loans for development projects. The money was loaned by the US, but went directly to US corporations who were responsible for the projects, many of which failed, leaving nations in debt and not better off. Then the debt was used as leverage to control the government’s policies so they further favored US interests. Anun Shah explains the role of the IMF and World Bank in more detail in Structural Adjustment – a Major Cause of Poverty.

Neoliberalism Leads to the Rise of Chávez

A turning point in the Venezuelan struggle for real democracy occurred in 1989. President Carlos Andres Perez ran on a platform opposing neoliberalism and promised to reform the market during his second term. But following his re-election in 1988, he reversed himself and continued to implement the “Washington Consensus” of neoliberal policies – privatization and cuts to social services. The last straw came when he ended subsidies for oil. The price of gasoline doubled and public transportation prices rose steeply.

Protests erupted in the towns surrounding the capitol, Caracas, and quickly spread into the city itself. President Perez responded by revoking multiple constitutional rights to protest and sending in security forces who killed an estimated 3,000 people, most of them in the barrios. This became known as the “Caracazo” (“the Caracas smash”) and demonstrated that the president stood with the oligarchs, not with the people.

Under President Perez, conditions continued to deteriorate for all but the wealthy in Venezuela. So people organized in their communities and with Lieutenant Colonel Hugo Chávez attempted a civilian-led coup in 1992. Chávez was jailed, and so the people organized for his release. Perez was impeached for embezzlement of 250 million bolivars and the next president, Rafael Caldera, promised to release Chávez when he was elected. Chávez was freed in 1994. He then traveled throughout the country to meet with people in their communities and organizers turned their attention to building a political movement.

Chávez ran for president in 1998 on a platform that promised to hold a constituent assembly to rewrite the constitution saying:

I swear before my people that upon this moribund constitution I will drive forth the necessary democratic transformations so that the new republic will have a Magna Carta befitting these new times.

Against the odds, Chávez won the election and became president in 1999.

While his first term was cautious and center-left, including a visit by Chávez to the NY Stock Exchange to show support for capitalism and encourage foreign investment, he kept his promise.

Many groups participated in the formation of the new constitution, which was gender-neutral and included new rights for women and for the indigenous, and created a government with five branches adding a people’s and electoral branches. The new constitution was voted into place by a 70 percent majority within the year. Chávez also began to increase funding for the poor and expanded and transformed education.

Since then, Chávez has been re-elected twice. He was removed from power briefly in 2002, jailed and replaced by Pedro Carmona, the head of what is equivalent to the Chamber of Commerce. Fox commented that the media was complicit in the coup by blacking it out and putting out false information. Carmona quickly moved to revoke the constitution and disband the legislature. When the people became aware of what was happening, they rapidly mobilized and surrounded the capitol in Caracas. Chávez was reinstated in less than 48 hours.

One reason the Chávez election is called a Bolivarian Revolution is because Simon Bolivar was a military political leader who freed much of Latin America from the Spanish Empire in the early 1800s. The election of Chávez, the new constitution and the people overcoming the coup set Venezuela on the path to free itself from the US empire. These changes emboldened the transformation to sovereignty, economic democracy and participatory government.

In fact, Venezuela paid its debts to the IMF in full five years ahead of schedule and in 2007 separated from the IMF and World Bank, thus severing the tethers of the Washington Consensus. Instead, Venezuela led the way to create the Bank of the South to provide funds for projects throughout Latin America and allow other countries to free themselves from the chains of the IMF and World Bank too.

The Rise of Real Democracy

The struggle for democracy brought an understanding by the people that change only comes if they create it. The pre- Chávez era is seen as a pseudo Democracy, managed for the benefit of the oligarchs. The people viewed Chávez as a door that was opened for them to create transformational change. He was able to pass laws that aided them in their work for real democracy and better conditions. And Chávez knew that if the people did not stand with him, the oligarchs could remove him from power as they did for two days in 2002.

With this new understanding and the constitution as a tool, Chávez and the people have continued to progress in the work to rebuild Venezuela based on participatory democracy and freedom from US interference. Chávez refers to the new system as “21st century socialism.” It is very much an incomplete work in progress, but already there is a measurable difference.

Mark Weisbrot of CEPR points out that real GDP per capita in Venezuela expanded by 24 percent since 2004. In the 20 years prior to Chávez, real GDP per person actually fell. Venezuela has low foreign public debt, about 28 percent of GDP, and the interest on it is only 2 percent of GDP. Weisbrot writes:

From 2004-2011, extreme poverty was reduced by about two-thirds. Poverty was reduced by about one-half, and this measures only cash income. It does not count the access to health care that millions now have, or the doubling of college enrollment – with free tuition for many. Access to public pensions tripled. Unemployment is half of what it was when Chávez took office.

Venezuela has reduced unemployment from 20 percent to 7 percent.

As George Galloway wrote upon Chávez’s death:

Under Chávez’ revolution the oil wealth was distributed in ever rising wages and above all in ambitious social engineering. He built the fifth largest student body in the world, creating scores of new universities. More than 90% of Venezuelans ate three meals a day for the first time in the country’s history. Quality social housing for the masses became the norm with the pledge that by the end of the presidential term, now cut short, all Venezuelans would live in a dignified house.

Venezuela is making rapid progress on other measures too. It has a high human development index and a low and shrinking index of inequality. Wealth inequality in Venezuela is half of what it is in the United States. It is rated “the fifth-happiest nation in the world” by Gallup. And Pepe Escobar writes that:

No less than 22 public universities were built in the past 10 years. The number of teachers went from 65,000 to 350,000. Illiteracy has been eradicated. There is an ongoing agrarian reform.

Venezuela has undertaken significant steps to build food security through land reform and government assistance. New homes are being built, health clinics are opening in underserved areas and cooperatives for agriculture and business are growing.

Venezuelans are very happy with their democracy. On average, they gave their own democracy a score of seven out of ten while the Latin American average was 5.8. Meanwhile, 57 percent of Venezuelans reported being happy with their democracy compared to an average for Latin American countries of 38 percent, according to a poll conducted by Latinobarometro. While 81 percent voted in the last Venezuelan election, only 57.5 percent voted in the recent US election.

Chávez won that election handily as he has all of the elections he has run in since 1999. As Galloway describes him, Chávez was “the most elected leader in the modern era.” He won his last election with 55 percent of the vote but was never inaugurated due to his illness.

Beyond Voting: The Deepening of Democracy in Venezuela

This is not to say that the process has been easy or smooth. The new constitution and laws passed by Chávez have provided tools, but the government and media still contain those who are allied with the oligarchy and who resist change. People have had to struggle to see that what is written on paper is made into a reality. For example, Venezuelans now have the right to reclaim urban land that is fallow and use it for food and living. Many attempts have been made to occupy unused land and some have been met by hostility from the community or actual repression from the police. In other cases, attempts to build new universities have been held back by the bureaucratic process.

It takes time to build a new democratic structure from the bottom up. And it takes time to transition from a capitalist culture to one based on solidarity and participation. In “Venezuela Speaks,” one activist, Iraida Morocoima, says “Capitalism left us with so many vices that I think our greatest struggle is against these bad habits that have oppressed us.” She goes on to describe a necessary culture shift as, “We must understand that we are equal, while at the same time we are different, but with the same rights.”

Chávez passed a law in 2006 that united various committees in poor barrios into community councils that qualify for state funds for local projects. In the city, community councils are composed of 200 to 400 families. The councils elect spokespeople and other positions such as executive, financial and “social control” committees. The council members vote on proposals in a general assembly and work with facilitators in the government to carry through on decisions. In this way, priorities are set by the community and funds go directly to those who can carry out the project such as building a road or school. There are currently more than 20,000 community councils in Venezuela creating a grassroots base for participatory government.

A long-term goal is to form regional councils from the community councils and ultimately create a national council. Some community councils already have joined as communes, a group of several councils, which then have the capacity for greater research and to receive greater funds for large projects.

The movement to place greater decision-making capacity and control of local funds in the hands of communities is happening throughout Latin America and the world. It is called participatory budgeting and it began in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 1989 and has grown so that as many as 50,000 people now participate each year to decide as much as 20 percent of the city budget. There are more than 1,500 participatory budgets around the world in Latin America, North America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Fox produced a documentary, Beyond Elections: Redefining Democracy in the Americas, which explains participatory budgeting in greater detail.

The Unfinished Work of Huge Chávez Continues

The movements that brought him to power and kept him in power have been strengthened by Hugo Chávez. Now the “revolution within the revolution” will be tested.  In 30 days there will be an election and former vice president, now interim president, Nicolas Maduro will likely challenge the conservative candidate Chávez defeated.

If the United States and the oligarchs think the death of Chávez means the end of the Bolivarian Revolution he led, they are in for a disappointment.  This revolution, which is not limited to Venezuela, is likely to show to itself and the world that it is deep and strong. The people-powered transformation with which Chávez was in solidarity will continue.

David Wilcock Update 2-28-13…”Lightning Strikes Vatican: A Geo-Synchronicity?”

Lightning Strikes Vatican: A Geo-Synchronicity?

by David Wilcock, February 28, 2013, 4:44 pm

On the same day Pope Benedict resigned, lightning struck the Vatican. This was a powerful geo-synchronicity event — easy to understand, and with profound implications — once you see it in context.

IT’S ALL GOOD — ULTIMATELY

Although the changes still seem to be moving at glacially-slow speeds, we are continuing to see signs of very positive developments.

This doesn’t surprise me — as we live in a conscious, living universe. The Source Field Investigations [paperback version] is where I made my case.

I am working non-stop to finish the first draft of the sequel right now — but I had to stop for a minute to report on these incredible developments.

Human life is not an anomaly reserved to one planet. The universe is literally teeming with life — everywhere and anywhere it can grow.

Once this becomes known and accepted on a widespread level, it is arguably going to be the biggest shift in perspective in our own recorded history.

DNA is written into the laws of quantum mechanics. There is enough scientific proof that this has now become an indisputable fact.

THE LAW OF ONE SERIES

I first became aware of this concept of energetic DNA-forming waves when I found the Law of One material in 1996 — and it utterly changed my life.

Now that I am cranking on my new book deadline, and very close to the finish line, I am highly immersed in the Law of One material again — and it feels great.

The Law of One philosophy lets us know that all is well. The things that are happening on earth are part of a grand illusion that is intended to help us all grow into more loving and honorable people.
The signs continue to get more and more interesting, and provocative, telling us big stuff is coming soon.

Recently we had another geo-synchronicity — a manifestation of synchronicity on a worldwide scale. This one was a lot bigger than the Super Bowl blackout.

It seems appropriate that this article happens to be the 1,111th piece of content we’ve posted to Divine Cosmos — if you look at the link.

LIGHTNING STRIKES

Lightning struck the Vatican on the same day that Pope Benedict spontaneously resigned.
Considering how decrepit Pope John Paul II looked in the final years of his life, no one believed this was actually due to health reasons. And then lightning struck.

Ben Fulford: Murder attempt against Queen Elizabeth II foiled, manhunt on for former “black pope” Peter Hans Kolvenbach, March 5, 2013

World news media have been widely reporting that Queen Elizabeth II has been hospitalized with “gastroenteritis” but MI5 sources are saying the Queen is not ill and that the story was put out so that she could cancel a trip to Rome where there was a real murder plot against her. The MI5 source says that Peter Hans Kolvenbach, the former “black pope,” or head of the Jesuits, who already got rid of the Pope, was plotting to get rid of the Queen during her Rome visit as a part of his plan to create a “one world religion.” Kolvenbach is now hiding in Lebanon where he has been helping orchestrate the ongoing Muslim brotherhood led “revolutions,” in the Middle East. He is expected to be captured and taken in for questioning soon.

Kolvenbach has been previously recording bragging on the phone that he was the mastermind behind the 311 nuclear and tsunami terror attack against Japan, according to CIA and MI5 sources. He has also been recorded threatening to poison Adolfo Nicolas, the current Superior General of the Society of Jesus, the same sources say. Nicolas and the Queen are both cooperating with Asian groups and the White Dragon Society to push for a massive campaign to end poverty and stop environmental destruction.

In any case, if it turns out Queen Elizabeth II follows Queen Beatrix of Holland and the Pope out of office, then the next in line for removal will be US President Obama, according to the gnostic illuminati faction. The gnostic illuminati claim to have started the French, American and Russian revolutions and are now pushing to free Europe and the US from cabalist bloodline rule, according to one of their “grand-masters.” According to the original, and now unraveling, plot to create a “New World Order,” Barak Obama was supposed to be the leader of a world government that would oversee the merging of Islam and Christianity into a one world religion.

However, instead of presiding over the birth of a fascist world government, Obama has been presiding over the bankruptcy of the United States of America.

The cabalists in control of the Washington D.C. corporate government, however, are still trying to cling stubbornly to the old plot. US Secretary of State John Kerry, who is part of the Vatican led homosexual Skull and Bones secret society, visited the Middle East last week in a fruitless attempt to get the New World Order agenda back on track.


However, a global financial and economic boycott against the D.C. cabal has meant the US cannot even afford to keep much of its fleet of aircraft carriers afloat which is why the pentagon announced, while Kerry was in the Middle East, that one of the two aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf would be removed due to budget cuts.

In any case, only the most truly brainwashed idiots can still believe the cabalist claims, ones they have been making constantly for over 20 years (since 1992) that “Iran was months away from making a nuclear bomb and so we need to start World War 3.”

A senior member of the Vatican P2 fascist freemason lodge warned the P2 was “joining with the cabalists” in a battle to maintain the status quo adding that they are “desperate and so ready to use every option.”

Given their past penchant for carrying out genocide and mass murder to achieve political objectives (eg Hitler, Stalin, 911, 311) they may be plotting to blow up Rome in an attempt to blame it on, and thus discredit, peace loving anti-terrorist groups like the White Dragon Society.

The cabalists have also been using an agent by the name of Adnan Sacly to claim inheritance rights to historical Asian treasure that was used to found the cabal front known as the BIS. Sacly falsely claims to have inherited these rights from Madame Chiang Kai Shek who was an heiress to the fabulous Sung dynasty treasure, according to the CIA.

In any case, the cabalists are facing the very real threat of revolution in Europe. The Italian election has resulted in a hung parliament with the 20-40 age group internet generation voting en masse for the anti-establishment 5 Star movement. This party is calling for a debt renegotiation and a return to the Lire. If there is a re-election, they are expected to win and the result would be the end of the Euro and a subsequent collapse of the German financial system (since they are Italy’s biggest creditor).

In the UK as well, the anti-EU Independence Party won a bi-election only to have it stolen by means of a “huge postal vote,” according to and MI5 official. It is now expected that the UK will head into a general election in May that will result in an anti-EU coalition taking power, the official says.

Signs like these, together with the horrific economic data emerging in the West, make it clear both the EU and the US are visibly falling into bankruptcy. Reality is something that no amount of cabal propaganda can cover up forever, it has a way of catching up and prevailing.

In Asia, meanwhile, the new Chinese regime formally took the reins of power this week and is eager to show its mettle. What they must first prove is whether they are mice or men. If they are mice, they will be manipulated by the cabal into a war with Japan that will hurt both China and Japan as well as destroy Asian unity. If they are men, they will completely revamp the world architecture of power away from an inbred European elite and into the hands of the people of the world. In specific, that means totally overhauling the UN (they can start by moving its headquarters to Asia), the BIS, the World Bank, the IMF, NATO etc.

The Asian Secret Societies made a sacred promise that if Asia was once again placed at the center of world power, they would end poverty and stop environmental destruction. The heavy pollution choking China and the accelerating destruction of the global ecology mean they are not keeping their sacred promise to the creator. If they fail to keep this promise, the mandate of heaven will be taken away.

Poofness 3-3-13…”Electricity in the Air”

Greetings and Salutations; 

As quiet as it’s gotten, the excitement in the air is quite palpable. Rv is in the high octave range now…something is afoot. Funny how the new treasury guy went thru the senate so fast, he does know what he’s doing and has experience. He knows all about the rvs going on in the world, as well as, prosperity programs, global settlements, and the necessary deep changes to happen in the us. He’s all for it. In the years to come, many grand children will hear about this unbelievable shift planet wide. We’re all going at once. Some kicking and screaming. Sometimes man’s free will is confronted with an issue, it can do nothing but flow with it. For some this is like a dose of castor oil…unpleasant but, good for you. lololol

In the weeks ahead, one event after another, will have folks wondering what’s going on in this world. I’m told the work on the projects to rehabilitate this world will begin this month. Despite the media, war is not on the table, people will need to find another way to solve their differences, behave like adults. “Can’t we all just get along?” It’ll be a little difficult to grasp at first for folks that have the ‘grab cannon’ first mentality. Peace is a practiced skill. Learn to take a breath before acting.

The lid(secrets) will be lifted off a whole lot of things, some you won’t like much. The facts must be known, it is the only way to go into the future and not repeat the past. That was one of the reasons the dragons insisted on these famous announcements being made. I’m putting an interview in here, listen to it or don’t…it could shake you up and produce more questions. We must leave our fantasies behind, the truth is much greater once appreciated. Here goes;

Consultations until the door bell.

On ward and upward, Love and kisses,
