Poofness 3-10-13…”The Snake Bites!!!”

Greetings and Salutations;

Anyone paying attention to what was happening in the world this past week, came to the conclusion, something was up and it was HUGE. Under the ‘dragon’ year, the dragon did what dragons do, rest on their gold and jewels, and fry anyone who attempts to steal them. We have entered the year of the snake, it has struck already and the howling that arose was like an atom bomb going off. The out going leadership in china, made the comment; ‘the corruption in the banks was being handled’.

There’s no such thing as ‘too big to fail’. Especially when someone with a bigger club exists that can whup the bully’s butt. Someone made a comment the other day saying, ‘after 100+ years of running the show, bankers can’t hear the word No’. They have been like cockroaches and operate automatically. How much can you eat until you burst open, spilling your innards? I would make the same analogy about politicians.

The last time the owner of the particular bank visited, he cleaned out 240 quad of ill gotten gains and threw it into the pile to be distributed to humanity. I don’t have the number for what got snatched out of there, this time…the howling spoke for itself. The cesspool was not silently stinking anymore . It was drained and went by way of the dodo bird. It went extinct. Basel 3 is the international banking law now. No country is exempt or can work around it, if they want to do business in the 21st century.

The dragon even gobbled up the central banks around the world, they took the ‘head’. The mother of all central banks, the BIS. No shots fired, tho some took a ‘pill’ and took themselves out of the equation. Nature causes change, the kind you can’t stop and you Will deal, one way or another. Make it the easy way or make it tough, you have free will. Make it easy on yourself. Was thinking of starting a group a few years ago called ‘hardaholics anonymous’ for people who choose a harder path for everything. You know the words, you will work by the sweat of your brow, etc, was a curse…time to get out from under the curse. Let your ‘work’ turn into your ‘joy’.

Today is a 10…it’s new beginnings. The ‘weather’ conditions are right for a lightning bolt out of the blue. The forces are in place and we are watching. The winds may be howling in some places but they are fat with anticipation. All things change, maybe not when you think they should…but, I cite a law, it’s called the ‘Law of Inevitability’. In other words, the conclusion is baked in, when something is started unless, things are adjusted along the way. Start a banking system based on reputation and air, it’s doomed to fail. Look at what happened to the roman empire.

Morgan Stanley let it be known, they see us going to a metal backed system again. NO Duh. Real worth is the only way to go, it’s more natural. And you thought the folks in the rafters were just bowling or peeing thru the cracks telling you it’s raining. Nope, the big plan remains, that is making this planet paradise again. They just had to use those D9s and get the folks out of the way who wanted Mad Max world.
Take a look at what the european brain trusts think. They are crunching numbers but, somethings are a bit more subtle than the numbers

Consultations are available until the end.

Leap forward! Turn your back on the past and leave your butts behind you

Whole Foods Market Commits to Mandatory GMO Labelling

By Arjun
http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/03/10/whole-foods-market-commits-mandatoru-gmo-labelling/ 

Whole Foods Market has committed to full GMO transparency by giving supplier partners five years to source non-GMO ingredients or to clearly label products with ingredients containing GMOs. All products in the US and Canadian stores that contain GMOs must be clearly labeled by 2018.

Whole foods is the first national grocery chain to set a deadline for full GMO transparency. Canada and the US still have no labelling laws, while more than 60 countries do. But things are changing. More than 500,000 citizens signed a petition in Washington state last year to move the initiative to the next step to their state legislature for consideration. Do we really have to wait five years? Why can’t this be implemented now? 

Citizens in North America have had a mass awakening, especially within the past three to four years. We are awakening to what no longer resonates with us on this planet, and that awakening has involved critical thinking and an examination of all industries that govern our everyday life on this planet, including food. 

We have begun to see that there is foul play, and what was prior considered to be a conspiracy theory is actually a reality. It’s nothing to fear, we always have a choice.

GMO labelling was introduced to give people the freedom to choose between GMOs and conventional foods. If food is produced using genetic engineering, it must be indicated on its label. Although they shouldn’t be, labelling practices are quite complicated and must be regulated along side issues of legality, feasibility, standardization and coherence. What must be labeled and why shouldn’t be so complicated, but it is. It’s no secret that those who work for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the U.S. Department of Agriculture (UDSA) have admitted that corporate interests force the agencies to change policies that harm their agenda. The UCS sent question surveys to approximately 8000 workers from both the FDA and USDA, over half who work as field inspectors responded saying that their agency practices harm public health in order to appease corporate interests.

Most foods that contain any genetically modified plants or micro organisms that were used in production require indication of some sort. This is a problem because numerous products are exempt from labelling obligations. These exemptions primarily concern additives, and processing aids, but also apply to meat, milk and eggs. The United States has openly admitted to believing that there is no difference between GMOs and natural organisms. The FDA and USDA, along with the Codex Alimentarius Committee, suggest that no country should require mandatory GMO labelling on food items. This is ridiculous, science has already shown that GMOs act differently in the body and are a threat to health. Workers usually have to wear full body suits and masks when spraying our food with toxic chemicals. They are toxic chemicals that are responsible for mutating cells and causing cancer. Cancer is a billion dollar industry and big pharmaceutical companies fund all major medical research.

The Council on Foreign Relations put out a statement not to long ago saying:

The United States has not experienced any regulatory failures. There have been no major food safety scares, and the minor ones have had a short lives political impact. The United States has in place a relatively well-established set of national regulatory bodies which appear to function reasonably well. The United States has experienced a decline in public confidence in government regulation due to the perception that it was ineffective, so they created a new set of regulatory institutions and administrative mechanisms to improve public accountability. (1)

It’s funny how The Council on Foreign Relations is headed by the Rockefeller family. The Rockefeller’s and it’s foundation is heavily involved with all of the major food corporations that control the worlds food supply, not to mention that this family has their hand in the same corporations that control the health/pharmaceutical companies as well. Why do we give so much credibility to these corporations and the people that run them? Why do we continue to believe everything that is written and ‘sourced’ from corrupt organization? All it takes is a little research. People say “what can we do about it?” Well the first step is becoming aware, then the next step is to begin making changes you can make yourself. From there, things will expand outwards. Don’t forget, you always have a choice. You can buy organic, grow your own food or choose to minimize your GMO and conventional food consumption.

I live in Canada and fortunately my country does have a regulation on GMOs. But we are no different, the corporations that control the food industry and the governing bodies that set the standards are global organizations. Countries can easily hide behind the ‘right act’ simply by setting regulations. Canadian regulation of foods derived from biotechnology is a seven to ten year process to research, develop, test and assess the safety of a new GM food. By the time this is complete, the damage has already been done. The problem is, labelling is only required if there is a health and safety issue. The same group of people who fund the medical industry and all of it’s research are funded by the big pharmaceutical companies, which are the same group of people who own the food industry! Conflict of interest, don’t you think? It’s time to stop handing over our power to multinational corporations.

Chris Bledsoe - Amazing ET Encounter "The Fayetteville Incident"

http://nesaranews.blogspot.com/2013/03/chris-bledsoe-amazing-et-encounter.html

Hi folks,

This was an amazing story. This happened on January 8, 2007 in Fayetteville, North Carolina. That's 6 years ago. I just heard of this for the first time after listening to the Veritas Radio interview. The first half of the interview is free but you have to have a subscription to hear the second half. I don't have a subscription but found that Susan Rennison wrote some excerpts from part 2...

 

This is from Susan Rennison's blog:

Comment: Download MP3 here. I would like to thank D. Weiss for contacting me and making an effort to point out something that I needed to know. My reaction is that I am stunned after downloading and listening to Christopher Bledsoe's story. I get many people sending me YouTube videos and links, but this is very very different. 

This interview by Mel Fabregas, is the first UFO 'contactee' that I have come across that echoes my beliefs that have been formulated based on my search for truth over many years. There are many points about this is story that makes me think the story needs to be shared, but from my perspective, I was very impressed that there was an emphasis in Part II on what I have called 'The Earth Management Team'. 

Yes, this story is hair-raising in parts, but we do get down to some nitty gritty about why interdimensional beings are so worried about the future of mankind. As regulars will know, I have already bluntly given my opinion. I think we don't have to worry about the Shadow Biosphere or other 'visitors'. What Chris Bledsoe is frightened to tell people, but at least he gives some hints, is that from his 'briefings', he has learnt that Universal Consciousness will maintain order on this planet for the benefit of ALL lifeforms and humans will be largely wiped off if we continue to make things too difficult for all the other lifeforms on this planet. 

Ultimately, the Creator has dominion over his creation, but humans are too stupid and arrogant to realise what is coming because we refuse to spiritually evolve. I will compile some relevant quotes, but I recommend paying the subscription and listening to Part II. Update:

Excerpts from Part II

Mel Fabregas: But I am curious, what came out of your session with Dr McConall?[...]
33:35 Chris Bledsoe: I believe that they're here, they've been here forever. They tendered this Earth like a Terrarium or garden. They manage and monitor everythimg. They manage birth and life in the seas in the rivers in the lakes. Imagine, you and I buying a property, a mall, an airport, or anything, a home and if you don't maintain it, it's going away, it won't be there very long, it will just fall in on itself, it would cease to exist. Well, this Earth when the Creator made it, he made it so miraculous, it has worlds within worlds, within worlds. Microscopic to us and bigger than us, in other dimensions. Well all these beings are like maintenance men. Imagine on the mall there is one fixing leaks in the roof or the one in the parking lot, cleaning the parking lot, or the security guards or different ones doing different things.

Imagine the Creator was no different when he made this place when it was created. These beings were here to take care of it and that is what they do and what they have been doing forever. [Hesitates with a few words] I would say for the most part they are emotionless although there are ones that I have seen that they took me to in this abduction that... were people like you and I [....] The meat of the story is that there is a Creator that created this world and that is what I got out of it. If I can say to the smallest point, the smallest thing, if I had one thing to say about it all, it would be that we can try to take the Creator out of this world the best we can and it appears that that is what is happening in society, people are losing their faith or their religions but I am telling you that there is a power out there mightier than we are and I have seen it. It is way more powerful. We are not brothers, we are not friends, we're creations, we're lesser beings. Does this make sense Mel? I mean I wish I knew the answers Mel, but I know there is something mightier, much mightier than we.

Mel Fabregas: To one side I can see some people saying yes they are our progenitors we are basically their creation but to others may take this as we are simply a laboratory where they are experimenting and just testing to see how this test tube we call Earth is developing. Which of the two do you stick with?

Chris Bledsoe: I stick with there is a mightier than we, a Creator that created it all and he has a grand purpose for it all...
[...]

44:00 Mel Fabregas: What message in addition to them being the creators of the human race udid they impart with to share with people in addition to what you just said.

Chris Bledsoe: I don't know that! I don't know who they are.

Mel Fabregas: What kind of message did they inpart upon you to share with people in addition to what you just said?

Chris Bledsoe: [mumble] The biggest message I see is that we have to quit abusing this planet, this Earth, this land. Everythings alive, the trees, the water, everything is created by the Almighty, God, and we should respect it, we should respect everything on this planet and quit destroying it...
[...]

Chris Bledsoe: It's all about the planet and when mankind's suffering becomes too great then I think thats when the disclosure will come...
[...]

Chris Bledsoe: We're abusing the planet and all the life that exists. There is other life that we are not unaware of. Like these nuclear explosions, these things reverbarate through other dimensions and that was one of the things I was told was the reason they came in the 50s. [mumble] I am talking from the Guardians that is why they came to stop all that... and they came. [END EXCERPTS]

I would like to emphasis that Chris Bledsoe claims that he is has been having contact with members of Earth's Management Team and other Cosmic Guardians who are just doing their jobs under instructions from a higher power, we are NOT discussing the issue of extraterrestrials offering to do business on this planet to rescue us... Due to other sources refering to 'The Guardians' arriving, I would say that some senior cosmic management have arrived to assess this planet and they are shocked by just how bad things are and the likelihood of drastic action Universal Consciousness will take against humans to rectify the situation. There is absolutely nothing they can do but warn even if it means abducting humans and putting them through an education process... that is obvious to me. Aliens or what not, ALL have to acknowledge a much higher authority who will not negotiate with stupid and arrogant humans despite what those in the Vatican, and other so-called spiritual 'leaders' decide to lie about. The evidence of previous wipeouts of high civilisations on this planet should help some actually think, but unfortunately, we are dealing with too many corrupted human minds.

Here is the MUFON investigation as presented on the Discovery Channel:

 

Here is Christopher Bledsoe Sr. presenting at the Experiencers Speak Conference:

 

Something interesting to note ... the 7 foot ET that Chris made a drawing of, looks very similar to the ET cropcircle: http://www.ufocasebook.com/2008c/fayettevillenc.html

 

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

OPPT Q&A w/Heather -- March 5th

OPPT Q&A w/Heather -- March 5th

Here is the link to the article on RTS:

http://removingtheshackles.blogspot.com/2013/03/oppt-questions-answers-march-5th.html

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.
