This vision of hope inspired millions of people in the

before the patterns were fully taken over by NWO
technology. But since the year 2001 (the year when
the NWO carried out 9-11, launched their deceitful

The Rainbow Dream Vision of Hope

Make copies of the Rainbow prophecy, and give or
send them to people anywhere on the planet. Then let
them be guided by their hearts to do the same until all
planetary citizens are brought to life in the Rainbow
dream, so that we may dream and work together
for true peace.  Love, Thunder Woman

Introduction by Aleran ~~

Throughout the ages humanity has sought out the
prophecies of the spiritually gifted to instil a clear hope
and vision into life. During this time many prophecies
come to us trying to lead us in many different directions.

Some prophecy points to disaster, hopelessness
and the annihilation of mankind. But other prophecies
create a vision of joyful transformation through
quantum leaps into love and light.

As things stand now, the human race is dreaming a hell.

But as individuals and as a collective humanity it is our
potential to dream of paradise and to create the kingdom
of heaven on our Mother Earth.

Could it be that the pain in our hearts caused by the
hell we have created will spur us on into visions and
creations of a world formed in love?

It is my prayer and dream, along with a multitude of
others who have taught me to dream the Rainbow dream,
that each and every one of you learn to dream both while
awake and sleeping, the dream of unity and love through
divine transformation.

This prophecy is a dream and vision that is a potential
reality for mankind. It is not an ultimatum. But it is ours
to behold and to create if we only dare to dream it together.

The Rainbow Dream Vision of Turtle Island
Prophecies of The Native Americans

1993: The year of the creation of the teachings of the
Eight Great Powers and the introduction and the giving
back to humanity of the Twenty Count. The Starmaiden
Circle and the Flowering Tree teachings which began
the evolution of the distribution of the wheels and keys
of the esoteric teachings of the North American Indians
of Turtle Island. It was the year that the major beginning
keys and wheels were given away.

1994: The year of the planting of the light seeds of the
Hokseda, the higher self. Many teachers of the Eight
Great Powers began to plant their seeds of light about
the development of the higher self and began to open
the teachings of the rainbow people, also known as
the Meti, mixed blood, the Rainbow People.

1995: The year of fertilisation, the year of planting,
the year of going within these seeds of light in order
to see the potentiality, the road map that a person
can use. In the Turtle Island lore we say it is the year
of finding one's path with heart.

1996: The year of fruition, the year of seeking perfection,
growth and development. Most importantly this is the
year of trust and innocence as being totally open, when
people are listening and teachers are talking to teachers.
When mythologies of the world and all eight Great
Powers are finally revealing secrets and the teachings
within the mythologies are brought out into the open.

1997: The critical time. The time of the animal.
The time of Tuwalananie, the Dark Force. The reason
for this is that for three years seeds of light have been
planted and we are starting to grow and the teachings
are starting to come out and all those ones inside each
of the Eight Great Powers who have taught partial truths,
who have taught deliberate lies in history, who have
used their power to gain followers, to gain disciples,
to gain devotees, are going to be threatened by the
awakening of the Rainbow People because the Rainbow
People exist in every country, in every nation, in every
land.

The Dark Forces will be threatened and they will use
their power and their power exists in technology.
We are going to see some of the most strong techno-
logical advances known to humanity occurring at this
time and these very technological advances are going
to be a tremendous threat as well as a blessing to
the survival of humanity.

We must exert our influence, the sun dancers, the
rainbow people, by gathering together and sharing our
ideas and plans for alternative power and for world
peace. If we put a double amount of energy with what
we are for, we can change it. We can change it.

1998: The time of human to human communication.
The time the human family finally starts to become
human, if we get through 1997. Then there will be more
information brought out into open format than has ever
been seen on this planet in the first fifty thousand years.
Because soon we will re-establish contact in a very
knowledgeable way with our ancestors from the stars.
So mark that down because it will happen. The first
wave will come from the Pleiades and will be totally
acknowledged and will be known to all the world
powers. The second wave will come from Sirius.

1999: When tagashala and the enlightened teachers
begin to open the veil of the crack between the worlds,
we will see our memory circles. All kivas and sacred
power spots will come alive in 1999 and be totally
awakened. The inner room of the great pyramid will be
opened. Many of the teachers, leaders and ceremonialists
that are so-called traditional, but are trying to keep us
locked in the past, will not function today, will fall.
Many teachers and wise people will be seen for who
they are and they will be the farmers, the labourers and
the gas station attendants because the tagashala will
be fully awakened.

2000: People will begin to open their eyes. In 2000,
144,000 enlightened souls will sit down in Gathering
Together Circles. Many of these will be the so-called '
common people' and not the teachers you see up there
now. On August 17, 2000, the various winged serpent
wheels will begin to turn, to dance once again and
when they do the rainbow lights will be seen in dreams
all over the world and these rainbow light dreams
will help awaken the rest of humanity.

~~ On August 17, 2000, 'The Start of The World
Gathering For Truth' was held, and some great things
happened:
http://worldgathering.net/world/gathering1.html
http://worldgathering.net/world/gathering2.html

~~ Our Vision was delayed until the time was right:
2008 onwards

Editor: Some of the following changes have been held up
by the plans of those who are behind the global Chemtrail
spraying; the 9-11 fake attack and false War On Terror;
the large-scale weather and mind manipulations of techno-
logies such as HAARP, etc. 1997 states: 'The Dark Forces
will be threatened and they will use their power and their
power exists in technology'.  1997 also states: 'If we put
a DOUBLE AMOUNT of energy with what we are for,
we CAN change it.' ~ See year 2008 onwards

~~ Events for 2001 to 2007 have been
held up until enough people are awake ....

2001: We will sit in a new circle of law. Civil and social
law will tumble. All civil and social laws will have to be
in conformity with natural laws or the people will not
accept them and they will have the enlightenment necessary
to reject those laws. Science will once again become
metaphysics. They will discover four laws that will help
them jump to universal law and transcend the time-space
continuum which is the limitation of the age and once
again we will begin to take our power and to work
with rules and laws that are cosmic laws.

2002: We will once again see the way to continue a
new dream. We will be given the road map back to the
stars and we will see the star people come out of the
illusion of their two-legged form and into their actual
great sleeper-dreamer form. And so you will soon
meet some really great people.  [Editor: Well they're
flying around the sky in their great craft at least.]

2003: A powerful year and its really hard for me to talk
about it. I am a great dreamer but I don't know if I dream
that large. We will see a real shift in planetary consciousness.
Many of the enemies of the humans will begin to die away.

2004: We will totally gain the light of the great light
wheel. There will be one humanity, one planet composed
of all the different ways of dancing in complete harmony
in The Great Gathering Together Circle. In 2004 all
the seeds will be planted.

2005: The Earth will have its true reality formed. It will join
the sisterhood of planets, the daughters of Copperwoman
and it will create within itself all forms of all things in
harmony with the everything.

2006: We will see a whole new way of perfection. There
will be plants on this grandmother earth that will give life
and sustenance as never before seen. Starvation on the
earth, all those things will be gone.

2007: There will be total balance and harmony. All humans
will be balanced fives, or enlightened fives, a six. And they
will still be in their physical bodies.

2008: THE NEW RACE OF HUMANS WILL BEGIN
TO DESIGN THEIR NEW REALITY OF LIFE ON
THIS PLANET AS THEY INTENDED IT TO BE WHEN
THEY FIRST CAME HERE FROM THE STARS.

2009: We will begin to establish this planet and use the
collective consciousness to hold the power of this space
in harmony with the Great Circle of Twelve and all the
planets. There is a whole lot I don't even know.
There is more that I am not supposed to talk about yet.

2010: The dream will be actualised and this planet will
hold its space in the great council of planets and become
a part of the universal enlightened sisterhood and
brotherhood of humanity and keepers of the light circles.
It's happened on many planets and it's expected to
happen on a lot of other planets.

2011: There will be a moment in 2011 when the population
will be 'The Population', and something big will happen.

2012: This planet will have its design of energy
movement guided by all of humanity living here.

2013: In the year 2013 the Great Spirit will have left
its seed and the egg of everything here on this planet
and it will create itself 20 times over at the speed of
light and this prophecy ends as I have been given
it by the Grandmothers that I share with you now.

Introduction by Aleran ~~

Throughout the ages humanity has sought out the
prophecies of the spiritually gifted to instil a clear hope
and vision into life. During this time many prophecies
come to us trying to lead us in many different directions.

Some prophecy points to disaster, hopelessness
and the annihilation of mankind. But other prophecies
create a vision of joyful transformation through quantum
leaps into love and light.

As things stand now, the human race is dreaming a hell.

But as individuals and as a collective humanity it is our
potential to dream of paradise and to create the kingdom
of heaven on our Mother Earth.

Could it be that the pain in our hearts caused by the
hell we have created will spur us on into visions and
creations of a world formed in love?

It is my prayer and dream, along with a multitude of
others who have taught me to dream the Rainbow dream,
that each and every one of you learn to dream both while
awake and sleeping, the dream of unity and love through
divine transformation.

Dear All Sign and send around this petition. Benny Zable wrote; "Yes indeed it
is time to stand in solidarity with the Tibetan People who have gifted the world
with there wonderful mindful, compassionate, spiritual culture and attention to
detail in all respects.The Chinese Olympics is probally the best opportunity now
to act on these atrocities and help liberate the Tibetan People from the human
rights abuses of the Chinese Government." Benny ZableDear friends,
Often we read the news in horror about international events which we feel we
have no control over. But sometimes there is a window when we have real power to
play an active role in stopping human rights abuses overseas.As Australians, we
are in a unique position right now to help stop the cultural genocide taking
place in Tibet. That's because Kevin Rudd is visiting Beijing to meet the
Chinese President and Premier - the two men who are able to put an end to this
crisis. With the impending Beijing Olympics, where the world's eyes will focus
on China, we have a once in a decade chance to have a real impact.Sign this
urgent petition to Mr Rudd to use his influence - and his Chinese language
skills - to stand up for the human rights of Tibetans when he visits China the
week after next:www.getup.org.au/campaign/StandUpForTibetAs you read this,
Tibetans are burying an unknown number of their dead from these recent protests
- the number is unknown because China is keeping out all international media and
human rights monitors. But China can't afford too much damage to its
international reputation - especially this year, when they are desperate to
become a fully fledged member of the international community.High-level foreign
pressure is the best way to change their hard-headed stance and their violent
means of enforcing it, and our Prime Minister is the best placed foreign leader
to do that right now. Our PM is making the right noises but he needs all the
encouragement he can get. Your signature on this petition will mean he leaves
for Beijing armed not only with all the diplomatic and language skills
necessary, but also with a mandate to advocate for rights, respect and
autonomy:www.getup.org.au/campaign/StandUpForTibetChina is Australia's biggest
trading partner - that doesn't mean we have to be shy: it means we have a
legitimate voice to discuss their international standing in the community of
nations, to urge peaceful negotiation in the interests of economic stability. In
the words of the Dalai Lama's Australian representative, who has just endorsed
our campaign - 'China will listen to our Prime Minister'.Let's not waste this
rare opportunity to actually make a difference to the imperiled lives of those
abroad.Thanks for making it happen,The GetUp teamPS - Join in our conversation

Media Release 18 March 2008


The Cyanide Gift - Stawell Gold Mines at the Crossroads


Cyanide Watch will be hosting a meeting of citizens concerned about the
environmental costs of Stawell Gold Mines operation


11.30 - 1.30 pm Wednesday 19 March 2008

Observation area, Stawell Gold Mines, Reef Road, Stawell.


Stawell Gold Mines Manager, Troy Cole, said he respected the rights of
citizens to express their concerns and would be available to answer
questions.


"Imagine 700 Olympic swimming pools, 50m long by 20m wide and 1m deep, lined
up side by side in the dry bed of Lake Lonsdale. That's a picture of the
amount of Grampians water that Stawell Gold Mine is presently using," said
Cyanide Watch organiser, Graeme Dunstan.


More difficult to imagine is 98,000 tonnes of CO2, but that's the amount the
Mine causes to be released into the atmosphere each year by way of diesel
burned and grid power used in excavating and milling rock.


Seven hundred tonnes of deadly sodium cyanide is also used by the Mine, a
lethal transport and environmental hazard on the road between Melbourne and
the Mine.


These figures were released by the General Manager of Stawell Gold Mines,
Troy Cole, in a meeting yesterday with Cyanide Watch organiser, Graeme
Dunstan.


Mr Cole made it clear that the Stawell Gold Mine is at a cross road and he
said he spent as much time attending meetings about closing the mine as he
did planning its expansion.


Expanding the mine meant digging deeper into hot rock and a big capital
investment in cooling systems. Test drilling had revealed plentiful low
grade ores at about 4 to 6 grams per tonne.


The rising cost of gold would make this an economically viable operation but
the environmental costs, of which Mr Cole was acutely aware, would continue
to be enormous and increasingly so.


"The question is whether the Stawell Gold Mine management and the Stawell
community in general is ready to bite the climate change bullet and act
responsibly with the consequences for future generations in mind," said Mr
Dunstan.


Cyanide Watch <http://www.peacebus.com/CyanideWatch/AboutCyanideWatch.html> is
a campaign to ban cyanide gold mining as too hazardous to transport in bulk
and too environmentally damaging in use.

Send it to landfill says Qld Health!

Dear Mr Robertson

Recently I moved into rental accommodation on Magnetic Island. When I
took over the unit there was a broken smoke detector on the kitchen
bench between the living and eating areas.

I moved the broken smoke detector out onto my back veranda. I do not
know what model of smoke detector it is but it was not hard wired.
The battery has been removed. On the back panel are the words "return
to supplier or to the dept of health for disposal."

I have been advised by Craig Dunn of the EPA that the item is safe
for disposal into landfill, and the EPA has been advised by the Dpt
of Health to dispose of smoke detectors to land fill.

I am very concerned that I am one of a few thousand houses on
Magnetic Island, I would presume, all of these houses are duly fitted
(as per council regulations) with smoke detectors such as the one
which is now broken on my back veranda.
I am greatly concerned that these miniature nuclear reactors (when
broken) have been and continue to be indiscriminately buried into
local landfill with the Qld Health Department's full knowledge and
approval.

Creating concentrations of nuclear waste sites via land fill.

Mr Robertson will you live next door to such an establishment? Will
you personally come and remove this "perfectly safe" apparatus and
leave it on your back veranda?

I hope you will be able to provide me with the proper and adequate
advice on how to SAFELY dispose of this broken smoke detector. I do
not wish to touch it again. I will not dispose of it via my wheely
bin and I do not wish to send it anywhere via Australia Post.

Yours sincerely
Anne Goddard

The Rainbow Dream Vision of Hope
The Twenty Count: 1993-2012

http://worldgathering.net/vision.html

SOMEONE STOLE OUR VISION ~~~ This vision of hope inspired millions of people
in the 1980s, and 1990s, but since then, something has gone wrong. The start
is correct, 'keys and wheels' were often seen in Crop Patterns in the early
1990s, before the patterns were fully taken over by the NWO and their covert
technology. But since the year 2001 (the infamous year when the NWO carried
out 9-11, launched their mad 'War On Terror' and Chem Trail / Germ Trail
spraying became severe), the events and changes described in the Rainbow
Dream Vision as quite possible for humanity, have not happened. What went
wrong? Who stole our Vision?

Make copies of the Rainbow prophecy, and give or send them to people
anywhere on the planet. Then let them be guided by their hearts to do the
same until all planetary citizens are brought to life in the Rainbow dream,
so that we may dream and work together for true peace. Love, Thunder Woman

Introduction by Aleran: Throughout the ages humanity has sought out the
prophecies of the spiritually gifted to instil a clear hope and vision into
life. During this time many prophecies come to us trying to lead us in many
different directions. Some prophecy points to disaster, hopelessness and the
annihilation of mankind. But other prophecies create a vision of joyful
transformation through quantum leaps into love and light. We are dreamers
and we create physical reality through the thoughtforms we hold. As things
stand now, the human race is dreaming a hell. But as individuals and as a
collective humanity it is our potential to dream of paradise and to create
the kingdom of heaven on our Mother Earth. Could it be that the pain in our
hearts caused by the hell we have created will spur us on into visions and
creations of a world formed in love? It is my prayer and dream, along with a
multitude of others who have taught me to dream the Rainbow dream, that each
and every one of you learn to dream both while awake and sleeping, the dream
of unity and love through divine transformation. This prophecy on the
following pages is a dream and vision that is a potential reality for
mankind. It is not an ultimatum. But it is ours to behold and to create if
we only dare to dream it together.

The Rainbow Dream Vision of Turtle Island
'Prophecies of The Native Americans'
By Harley Swiftdeer, April 1983

1993: The year of the creation of the teachings of the Eight Great Powers
and the introduction and the giving back to humanity of the Twenty Count.
The Starmaiden Circle and the Flowering Tree teachings which began the
evolution of the distribution of the wheels and keys of the esoteric
teachings of the North American Indians of Turtle Island. It was the year
that the major beginning keys and wheels were given away.

1994: The year of the planting of the light seeds of the Hokseda, the higher
self. Many teachers of the Eight Great Powers began to plant their seeds of
light about the development of the higher self and began to open the
teachings of the rainbow people, also known as the Meti, mixed blood, the
Rainbow People.

1995: The year of fertilisation, the year of planting, the year of going
within these seeds of light in order to see the potentiality, the road map
that a person can use. In the Turtle Island lore we say it is the year of
finding one's path with heart.

1996: The year of fruition, the year of seeking perfection, growth and
development. Most importantly this is the year of trust and innocence as
being totally open, when people are listening and teachers are talking to
teachers. When mythologies of the world and all eight Great Powers are
finally revealing secrets and the teachings within the mythologies are
brought out into the open.

1997: The critical time. The time of the animal. The time of Tuwalananie,
the Dark Force. The reason for this is that for three years seeds of light
have been planted and we are starting to grow and the teachings are starting
to come out and all those ones inside each of the Eight Great Powers who
have taught partial truths, who have taught deliberate lies in history, who
have used their power to gain followers, to gain disciples, to gain
devotees, are going to be threatened by the awakening of the Rainbow People
because the Rainbow People exist in every country, in every nation, in every
land.

The Dark Forces will be threatened and they will use their power and their
power exists in technology. We are going to see some of the most strong
technological advances known to humanity occurring at this time and these
very technological advances are going to be a tremendous threat as well as a
blessing to the survival of humanity.

We must exert our influence, the sun dancers, the rainbow people, by
gathering together and sharing our ideas and plans for alternative power and
for world peace. If we put a double amount of energy with what we are for,
we can change it. We can change it.

1998: The time of human to human communication. The time the human family
finally starts to become human, if we get through 1997. Then there will be
more information brought out into open format than has ever been seen on
this planet in the first fifty thousand years. Because soon we will
re-establish contact in a very knowledgeable way with our ancestors from the
stars. So mark that down because it will happen. The first wave will come
from the Pleiades and will be totally acknowledged and will be known to all
the world powers. The second wave will come from Sirius.

1999: When tagashala and the enlightened teachers begin to open the veil of
the crack between the worlds, we will see our memory circles. All kivas and
sacred power spots will come alive in 1999 and be totally awakened. The
inner room of the great pyramid will be opened. Many of the teachers,
leaders and ceremonialists that are so-called traditional, but are trying to
keep us locked in the past, will not function today, will fall. Many
teachers and wise people will be seen for who they are and they will be the
farmers, the labourers and the gas station attendants because the tagashala
will be fully awakened.

2000: People will begin to open their eyes. In 2000, 144,000 enlightened
souls will sit down in Gathering Together Circles. Many of these will be the
so-called 'common people' and not the teachers you see up there now. On
August 17, 2000, the various winged serpent wheels will begin to turn, to
dance once again and when they do the rainbow lights will be seen in dreams
all over the world and these rainbow light dreams will help awaken the rest
of humanity. [On 17th August, 2000, 'The Start of The World Gathering For
Truth' was held, and some amazing things happened.]

Someone stole our Vision ....

Michael Irving: Have some or many of the following changes been held up by
the plans of those who are behind the global Chemtrail spraying; the 9-11
fake attack and false War On Terror; the large-scale weather and mind
manipulations of technologies such as HAARP, etc.? 1997 states: 'The Dark
Forces will be threatened and they will use their power and their power
exists in technology'. 1997 also states: 'If we put a DOUBLE AMOUNT of
energy with what we are for, we can change it. We CAN change it.'

2001: We will sit in a new circle of law. Civil and social law will tumble.
All civil and social laws will have to be in conformity with natural laws or
the people will not accept them and they will have the enlightenment
necessary to reject those laws. Science will once again become metaphysics.
They will discover four laws that will help them jump to universal law and
transcend the time-space continuum which is the limitation of the age and
once again we will begin to take our power and to work with rules and laws
that are cosmic laws.

2002: We will once again see the way to continue a new dream. We will be
given the road map back to the stars and we will see the star people come
out of the illusion of their two-legged form and into their actual great
sleeper-dreamer form. And so you will soon meet some really great people.

2003: A powerful year and its really hard for me to talk about it. I am a
great dreamer but I don't know if I dream that large. We will see a real
shift in planetary consciousness. Many of the enemies of the humans will
begin to die away.

2004: We will totally gain the light of the great light wheel. There will be
one humanity, one planet composed of all the different ways of dancing in
complete harmony in The Great Gathering Together Circle. In 2004 all the
seeds will be planted.

2005: The Earth will have its true reality formed. It will join the
sisterhood of planets, the daughters of Copperwoman and it will create
within itself all forms of all things in harmony with the everything.

2006: We will see a whole new way of perfection. There will be plants on
this grandmother earth that will give life and sustenance as never before
seen. Starvation on the earth, all those things will be gone.

2007: There will be total balance and harmony. All humans will be balanced
fives, or enlightened fives, a six. And they will still be in their physical
bodies.

2008: The new race of humans will begin to design their new reality of life
on this planet as they intended it to be when they first came here from the
Stars.

2009: We will begin to establish this planet and use the collective
consciousness to hold the power of this space in harmony with the Great
Circle of Twelve and all the planets. There is a whole lot I don't even
know. There is more that I am not supposed to talk about yet.

2010: The dream will be actualised and this planet will hold its space in
the great council of planets and become a part of the universal enlightened
sisterhood and brotherhood of humanity and keepers of the light circles.
It's happened on many planets and it's expected to happen on a lot of other
planets.

2011: There will be a moment in 2011 when the population will be 'The
Population', and something big will happen.

2012: This planet will have its design of energy movement guided by all of
humanity living here.

2013: In the year 2013 the Great Spirit will have left its seed and the egg
of everything here on this planet and it will create itself 20 times over at
the speed of light and this prophecy ends as I have been given it by the
Grandmothers that I share with you now.

Put a double amount of energy with what we are for. We can change it.

This prophecy is a dream and vision that is a potential reality for mankind.
It is not an ultimatum. But it is ours to behold and to create if we only
dare to dream it together. ~~~ Please network the Rainbow Dream Vision of
Hope

Costa's power sell-off undermines carbon trading scheme

The national greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme is under threat
  from NSW Treasurer Michael Costa desperate attempts to prop up the
  sell-off of the state's electricity industry, according to Greens MP John
  Kaye.

Commenting on a story on page 1 of today's Sydney Morning Herald, Dr
  Kaye said: "Federal Climate Change Minister Senator Penny Wong made
  it clear she is already under intense pressure to issue free permits
to the
  energy sector.

"The NSW government has joined forces with the greenhouse mafia to
have coal-fired generators sheltered from the costs of carbon trading.

"If they don't get their way, the billions of dollars of annual costs
  to purchase permits to cover the 57 million tonnes of CO2 emitted by
  NSW's large power stations will make them much less profitable to
  potential purchasers.

"The Iemma government has driven the Labor party into a dead end.
  Either the electricity sector is exposed to the full costs of the
emissions
  trading scheme or Michael Costa can privatise the industry. It's one or
  the other but definitely not both.

"Exempting power stations which produce 35 percent of the state's
  emissions would completely destroy the integrity of the carbon trading
  scheme.

"Professor Ross Garnaut's February Interim Report for the Rudd
  government's Climate Change Review was very clear that the scheme
must include auctioning of permits for the energy sector.

"He emphatically dismissed industry arguments for protection.

"Michael Costa is already losing the privatisation debate in the face
  of growing opposition from the community, the union movement and the
ALP membership.

"Now he has to take on Professor Garnaut to undermine the carbon
  trading scheme.

"It's time for NSW Premier Morris Iemma to bring his Treasurer into
  line and let Senator Wong do her job," said Dr Kaye.

[b]Climate Change Report Buried by DOT; Author Blocked From Reporters[/b]
http://www.whistleblower.org/content/press_detail.cfm?press_id=1334
[quote]
(Washington, D.C.) – This past Wednesday, March 12, the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U.S. Climate Change Science
Program quietly released a major assessment report on the likely
impacts of global climate disruption on a wide range of transportation
infrastructure in the Gulf Coast region. This report release was
buried by the DOT, and officials have been blocking journalists from
speaking with the report's lead author.

Specifically the report, Impacts of Climate Change and Variability on
Transportation Systems and Infrastructure: Gulf Coast Study, analyzes
how Gulf Coast roads and highways, transit services, oil and gas
pipelines, freight handling ports, transcontinental railroad networks,
waterway systems, and airports are likely to be harmed by heat waves,
extreme precipitation events, sea level rise, increased hurricane
intensity, and storm surge damage associated with climate change. The
report outlines why changes must be incorporated in transportation
planning now in order to avoid serious future problems.

Three hours after the report was posted online Wednesday, DOT issued
an uninformative and misleading press release on a separate Web site.
The press release lists only one contact – a DOT press official.
Reporters who have tried to interview the report's lead author,
Federal Highway Administration official Michael Savonis, have been
explicitly told by DOT officials that the author and the press cannot
communicate with each other.[/quote]

Lake Macquarie climate change documents: Greens seek release via
parliament

Greens MP Lee Rhiannon said she would move to force the NSW Planning
Minister Frank Sartor to release secret documents showing the impact of
climate change on Lake Macquarie when NSW Parliament next sits.

The Iemma government has developed an unhealthy culture of secrecy
evidenced by its attempt to stymie these important documents from being
released to the Hunter community, Ms Rhiannon said.

Mr Sartor has made no case for why these documents should not be in
the public arena. The public interest in maintaining an embargo
seems very hard to justify.

Lee Rhiannon has been lobbying for reform of NSW Freedom of Information
laws since 2006, introducing a private members bill into NSW
  Parliament.

If this information on rising sea levels was considered fit to brief
Lake Macquarie City Councillors, it should also be available to the
community.

When NSW Parliament resumes I will instigate a call for
papers, an FOI type process available to MPs, to force the release
of these documents.

Information is a strong motivating factor in mobilising the public
to act. It appears Minister Sartor would rather the Lake Macquarie
community be kept in the dark.

The Iemma government has embarked upon the most massive expansion of
the coal industry in the Hunter of all time.

The climate change implications of this coal bonanza are substantial
for residents and it is imperative they are aware of potential impacts.

Putting embargo dates on documents like these is an insult to the
local community,� Ms Rhiannon said.

Oh, and Happy, Happy Birthday Anne, and many happy returns! May it be a

Cheers again!

Fossil Fools Day has really taken off! While some groups are keeping
their plans under wraps for obvious reasons, others have been writing
in with publicly announced actions that all are welcome and
encouraged to go along to.

So far two biggies in London (sorry to the non-UK people), both
focused on Kingsnorth, which if built will be the first new coal-
fired power station in the UK in 30 years:

*Funeral for coal in Parliament square*
Plans include a giant power station complete with smoke being built
in parliament square and a mass of mourners dressed in black.
Planning meeting on 18th March at 6pm at Gordon House 106, University
College London. All welcome! Organised by People and Planet, WDM and
Greenpeace.
More info: Richard Roaf, richardroaf@..., 07890085938

*Stop Kingsnorth Laugh-In*
Meet 8 AM at 1 Victoria Street (nearest tube: St. James's Park) for a
laughing extravaganza to show BERR, the government department
responsible for the decision, how ludicrous their plans few new coal
at Kingsnorth are.
Organised by Stop Kingsnorth/World Development Movement.
More info: wdm@..., 0207 820 4900

Plans are also afoot in many other places around the country, so
contact us if you'd like to get involved, or better yet, organise
your own action! Check out www.risingtide.org.uk/fossilfoolsday for
loads of resources and support:
-actions booklet with 15 ideas for action against the fossil fuel
industry, including planning tips, target locations, examples of
successful actions and more,
-posters, leaflets and graphics to make your own materials,
-coming soon: a generic leaflet you can adapt to hand out on the day
and a Q&A sheet for answering media questions.

Whatever you do, make sure to call (07961 917 535) or email us
(info@...) on the day so we can add your action to our
end-of-day round up, and show the world what grassroots action
against the fossil fuel industry can achieve.

We are in the middle of an unstoppable rise of creative, radical,
necessary direct action against climate change… be part of it, on
Fossil Fools Day and beyond.

Did you know it takes 90 years to grow a box of Kleenex?

Teach Kimberly Clark a Real Lesson: Special Invitation to Parents,
Teachers and Students

Every time you blow your nose with Kleenex tissue, you're blowing
away an ancient forest. And every time you buy Scott or Cottonelle at
the store, you're flushing old growth trees down the toilet.

Most of the pulp Kimberly-Clark uses for its disposable tissue
products comes from unsustainable sources. This includes wood from
ancient forests like the Canadian Boreal Forest.

As the biggest tissue manufacturer on the planet, Kimberly-Clark has
the resources to shift toward sustainability but it is refusing to
use recycled paper in its products. Instead, the largest stretch of
ancient forest in North America is being clearcut for disposable
paper products.
~~~~~~~~~

Are you a student, teacher or parent? We need YOU to help schools
across the country replace Kleenex and other Kimberly-Clark products
with recycled alternatives that are better for the environment. .
We've launched a new online toolkit with everything you need to get
educated, get involved and help make your school more forest
friendly, including facts, classroom exercises, step-by-step guides,
and sample resolutions.

Start your own Kleenex Free Schools project today and be part of the
solution for our ancient forests.
http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/campaigns/forests/kleercut/forest-
friendly...
~~~~~~~~~
You also can SHOW the company how you feel. We've rolled out a new
online tool so you can send a photo and a message directly to
Kimberly Clark.

Take Action >> Let it all out! Let Kimberly Clark know how you really
feel.

Check out what people like you already are sharing and then submit
your own photo.

Kimberly Clark won't stop its ancient forest destruction unless the
company can see what it really means to YOU. So please, get involved,
and encourage at least 5 of your friends to participate, too.

...Did you know it takes 90 years to grow a box of Kleenex?

From Greenpeace USA

I've witnessed a few "coincidences" in my time, but even I was
shocked when I learned about this one. After three years of dragging
its feet, the U.S.. Fish and Wildlife Service was due to release a
final decision on endangered species status for the polar bear on
January 9th. But that date came and went with no decision. Less than
a month later, on February 6, the Minerals Management Service leased
29 million acres of prime polar bear habitat for oil drilling. And
what makes it all the more stunning is that both the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and the Minerals Management Service are part of the
Department of Interior.

We felt it was important to send a message to the Bush Administration
this week that drilling for oil while failing to protect the polar
bear is unacceptable. We declared the headquarters of the Department
of Interior as 'critical habitat for oil lobbyists.' Then we followed
up that message with a lawsuit along with The Center for Biological
Diversity and National Resources Defense Council to force Secretary
of Interior, Dirk Kempthorne to finally release a decision on the
polar bear.

Get the full story >> http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/news/another-
delay-in-the-fight-to
Check out our video of Greenpeace activists at the Department of
Interior >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFQErdbD8hM

Polar bears have waited three years for protection under the
Endangered Species Act. It's time for the Department of Interior to
give us a decision.

Sincerely,
Melanie Duchin
Global Warming Campaigner

~~ The World Has Turned The Corner ~~

'The Big World Gathering' says 'think big', notice
good trends and events are happening, speak up and
participate to help further positive change take place.

Billions of people know the world must make a positive
change, and with the following two declarations in 2007,
the world turned the corner towards a better future.

In December 2007, the Lakotah people of North
America informed the USA government that the
Lakotah are withdrawing from all treaties.
Lakotah spokesperson, Russell Means, stated:
"WE ARE WITHDRAWING FROM THE USA"
http://www.republicoflakotah.com

In October 2007, the Mayor of Salt Lake City,
Ross 'Rocky' Anderson, made a compelling public
speech, in which he declared:
"WE WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/28179

~~~~~~~~~

We have turned the corner.

Now let's change the world.

To help the world along its positive trend, here are
simple and effective ways to get the world on course:

~~ Those who know the truth, should be strong,
and stand up and tell others what they know ~~

'The Big World Gathering is happening now wherever
you are by you sharing with others what you really feel
and think about life today, and by distributing information
you believe is important. At a later stage, perhaps soon
to happen, all our individual actions may help lead to
something quite surprising; a major world change.'
~  Dedication for The Big World Gathering

'We must do what we conceive to be the right thing
and not bother our heads or burden our souls with
whether we will be successful. Because if we don't
do the right thing, we will be doing the wrong thing
and we will just be a part of the disease and not
a part of the cure.'  ~  E F Schumacher

Hiya wordgathering promoting person...

I have not said much about your posts to date because to date you
have caused no harm.

Unfortunately your latest post inferring that our planet is faulty
tends to ride me the wrong way.

You see... humanity, and all those other critters that do not know
yet know the logistics of how to type on a keyboard are in a state of
evolution.

...and our planet, the place we all reside on together, has always
been perfect for us all.

We (us humans) are but caretakers of this paradise for the next
generation and the generation after that...
It is up to us to evolve into a better species, our home cannot
evolve for us. There is nothing faulty about our planet.

Please, understand that I mean you no harm in stating what i see as
fact.

I do not wish to exchange in a diatribe on the spiritual side of
humankind and wish you well with your worldgathering stuff... but
this is not really the place to spruke it.
This site is for ACTION to mitigate climate change.
Can you offer this group some positive way forwards (apart from your
own website?)

Warm regards
Anne

Take  Back Your Power, by Matthew

Snakes and Ladders
Guns and Daggers
Thieves and Braggers
In My Way

We're tired of seeing broken faces
Poverty Stricken places
Manipulated Races
Every day

I went to the University to ask "How and Why"
Taught to repeat so I know they're going to lie
They say we came from the ocean
They say we swung from the trees
A random mistake
A Cosmic Sneeze

I went to the temple and I knocked on the door
I asked "What's the guilt and the suffering for?"

"Be still my child in us put your trust"
Let us suck your blood grind your bones into dust

These.

Snakes and Ladders
Guns and Daggers
Thieves and Braggers
In Our Way

Believe in Yourself
Take back your Power
Talk to each Other
Let's make a Better day

We see too many - abused faces
Desecrated places
Let's share with other races
Let our children play

Kill your snake to climb your ladder
Wield your pen and drop your dagger
When we all will join together
Who can stand in Love's Way?

We can heal the broken faces
We will replant the wasted spaces
Just talk with other races
Why not start today?

More news on topic from Prof. P.Cullen, who, as understood, still
overcome a fate of his then-governing national-liberal cronies at a post
of an Australian Water Commissioner:

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,23322876-5006009,00.\

<http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,23322876-5006009,00\

It is not so easy for students to grasp a semantic but significant
difference between "necessity" and "essentiality" while
analysing higher math solutions usually.



Perhaps, a title "professor" itself in areas not dealing with plying
native language only but in technical, applied science water-related
activities surely are, supposes one to clear distinct such a difference,
while speaking of roles petrol and water historically posses in/for
human existence.



Naively (?) misleading public on a very nature of and necessity for
human beings to merely survive hardly reflects distinctive realities of
both water-supply-responsible-government's obligations and simply
playing different power resources, among which oil/petrol are
artificially overestimated commodities in contemporary Australia
factually.



By a way, a human being can survive just a few days without water as
petrol and oil appeared on menu just about two centuries ago since
appetite for computing games substituted natural brain activities in
some "advanced civilised" countries.

Hiya all,

though i would love to have organised a ride up here on the island or

"Awake, awake, the world is young,
For all its weary years of thought.
The starkest fights must still be fought,
The most surprising songs be sung."

'THE GATHERING' by Sitting Bull

It is very important that as many people as possible,
in different places, should take part in the Gathering.
Decide where and when and how to gather.
Your participation is needed.

This is the beginning of the break we are all waiting for;
for you all on Earth and ourselves out here. This is the
beginning of the turn around. We have waited so long for
the change. It is time. This is the beginning of the end
of the old ways; the turning of the tide.

State what you believe is true. Courage is the ability to go
beyond the familiar. Exchange the information and hopes
you have. Always in the world, a change starts with a few
people. These few speak the feelings and thoughts of a
multitude. They speak the heart of humanity's soul.

The people and ETs who will come together shall ring
in a return, a turn around. There will come a flow on Earth
which will burst the dark energies surrounding you and
your planet. That which you believe is true must be stated.
The truth is the key.

May strength and vision be yours as you establish the new.
Follow your hearts. Let your inner light be your guide.
Realise the beauty and greatness you have within yourself
and step ahead. This is the time so many have waited
so long for. Never doubt it has started.

The young of all nations are looking for a new direction.
It is time to light a beacon to show the way for all humanity.
Let your feelings, thoughts and beliefs be your guiding light.
The power of the moment. The wishes of the people.
The good times ahead.

It is time for the gathering.

Tatanka Yotanka - The Sitting Bull
(This message is through a clairvoyant
in Holland, Europe, in recent years)

Special Words for The Big World Gathering:
  ~ The Rainbow Dream Vision of Hope: "This prophecy
is a dream and vision that is a potential reality for mankind.
It is not an ultimatum. But it is ours to behold and to
create if we only dare to create it together." ~
  ~ A Central American Mayan Elder: "Human beings
must come together in support of life. At present, each
person and group is going his or her own way. There is
hope if people can come together and unite." ~
  ~ E F Schumacher: "We must do what we conceive
to be the right thing and not bother our heads or burden
our souls with whether we will be successful. Because
if we don't do the right thing, we will be doing the wrong
thing and we will just be a part of the disease and not
a part of the cure." ~

'The Gathering' by Matthew

Last night I had a gathering for all my departed friends
I asked Jim Morrison where he'd been
He just laughed and smiled,
Spoke of what he'd seen

He said "I've been to the end of the rainbow"
He said "I've seen supernovae burst"
But before I could ask a question,
He said "Let me finish first"

He said "I have something to tell you",
This really is the MASTER KEY
ONLY! ONLY LOVE!
Will set this planet free

He then spoke ok Atlantis,
And what has come to pass
In an alien war of genocide,
He and his friends escaped the blast

* * *
Now these ones are returning,
They see our hearts are burning
The Universe is yearning,
For us to break on through

Well now you see here is my request,
The letter to your heart
Will you join us now,
Let the healing start

First there came THE question,
Then I found THE door
Now I have come through it,
A stronger man for sure

I will ask you the same question,
I can lead you to this door
If you will walk through it,
You will be Wiser than before

Yes now I have this question to put to you
Are you going to resist,
Will you break on through?
Will you break on through?

I am waiting for you...

The Gathering

~ A little Effort changed the World ~

This was posted recently at an internet board:

< What I want to see are conscious ones tuning in to
each other in an unprecedented way.... Starting right
here, with you dear thinker. >

I replied:

You know, we have the feeling 'it isn't working'? But maybe
it is working. Lots of people we meet each day are trying to
be themselves and are trying to live properly, but maybe we
sometimes don't notice. Everyone needs encouragement.

I can reveal that much of the time, for a long time,
I have so much wished for encouragement or a good
word - from anyone.

When it comes - encouragement - I sing. I start working
harder. At least 300% harder. Solely because someone said
Thanks to me. Or smiled. Or said I did a good job. Or even
said 'That kind of work must be important'. Even if their
words had a partial question mark after them. Because I go
  away thinking to myself:  'Yes. I believe it's important.'

What it comes down to is some real connection with other
people. Instead of just having an empty desert issuing out
of the people we meet. Perhaps they are communicating,
and we didn't notice.

I say daft things to the staff in the local store, just because
I feel to say them. And they (definitely seem to anyway)
respond.

... < Starting right here, with you dear thinker >

I responded with:

I just sent out these thoughts to quite a few people:

"I think it's because we don't encourage others enough;
and many people with high hopes and great intentions fall
by the wayside feeling their efforts were useless ... broken
-hearted and dispirited they (we?) walk off into the desert
and stop trying.

It seems, the key medicine is: if every day we keep putting
out pieces of encouragement we may see a snow-ball start
which will grow, and grow, and grow. Encouragement and
kindness are the oils which make life work."

~~~ A little effort changed the world ~~~

businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour. This
massive collective effort reduced Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2%
