Wednesday, November 6:    Pale Violet

There are certain things that will become clearer today, but they can leave you feel somewhat emotionally drained.  You have had expectations and images about people and things and some of those can be shattered in the day’s energies.  There are bumps ahead in the road also, so it is a good day to be aware of what you are doing, what is happening around you, and what you are seeing on the periphery of your vision.  This is a day for some sacred work.  This can mean many things to many people, but ultimately it means a time for quite contemplation and connection with the Universal Consciousness, with All That Is, with God/Goddess, however you see the principle that links you to your greatest potential.  Know what you know and do what brings you joy.  This way, you will begin to see the rightness in all that has transpired today.

Tuesday, November 5:   Dark Cobalt Blue

Why does everything seem so…….   Not right?  You had thought that you had every thing under control, and now stuff is just not working.  What is that all about?  Time to take a look around yourself today.  Yes, you create your reality, but there are other creators of their own realities around you who may be working at odds with what you want.  This is not a problem unless you allow it to be so. It can be a tough day but ultimately perhaps the most rewarding if you are willing to take an open look around yourself.  Your perspective is changing, and that, all that you have built up in your super-world may need a bit of rearranging.  You are walking into your power and with that, people, places, and things are taking on new meanings and import.  You are seeing the scope of the larger context as the pattern begins to move towards completion.  T his is a day for finding out what is truly meaningful for you.  It is a day for knowing what it means to be within a larger matrix.  It is a day for thinking and re-thinking community and doing some internal visualizations of what that means to you.

This is a good day for reviewing your priorities and your desires.  There is a lot of bookkeeping that needs to be done right now, and you just may find, in your review of the old stuff, that you have kept on your list a lot of things that you have no interest in any more.  These kinds of loose ends are the things that trip you up.  They are the things that tie you to the way things used to be.  These are the things that cause relationships that are no longer working to be maintained.  There is work to be done today, but the overall effect of it will be to establish your foundation more fully on a stronger and steadier basis.  From here you can make some great strides in getting things moved along in terms of what it is that will most truly bring you fulfillment.

Ractopamine and Pigs, Beef, Turkeys and Your Health

Food safety advocates sue FDA over withholding of information about ractopamine growth drug used in meat industry

Posted: November 1, 2013

(http://www.alternet.org)Most Americans have probably never heard of ractopamine, so you may be surprised to learn that it is used in 80 percent of US pig and cattle farming operations. Ractopamine is a growth additive drug, known as a beta-agonist, that is widely banned in other countries, but in the US, it is marketed as Paylean for pigs, Optaflexx for cattle and Topmax for turkeys.

The effects that ractopamine has on animals is already known, but its effects on humans are still a mystery. A European study in which one participant dropped out due to adverse effects found that ” ractopamine causes elevated heart rates and heart-pounding sensations in humans,” the Center for Food Safety (CFS) said. Other studies have shown that the drug causes rapid heart beat, birth defects and enlarged hearts in animals. Countryside magazine has reported cases of pigs being too weak to walk and their hooves falling off after being given ractopamine.

Being understandably concerned with these disturbing reports, the CFS and the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) have requested information “documenting, analyzing, or otherwise discussing the physiological, psychological, and/or behavioral effects” of ractopamine from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has around 100,000 pages on the drug, but they have refused to produce more than 464 pages that have already been previously released. Distraught over the administration’s illegal withholding and concealment of vital public health and safety information, the CFS and ALDF have decided to sue the FDA over the matter.

Ractopamine is banned in the EU, Russia, China, Taiwan and many other countries that actually care about their citizens’ health. This drug’s continued use closes American meat producers out of those foreign markets and likely puts consumers in danger. Hopefully, the CFS and ALDF will succeed in their fight, and the American justice system will force the FDA to release information about ractopamine, protect consumers and actually do its job instead of idly and flagrantly wasting our tax dollars and our time.

Sunday, November 3:    Orange Straw

This is a day for looking at things from all aspects, inner, outer, upwards, downwards, and in between.  There is much to be gained from that and, in some cases, much to be lost.  Oh, in other cases also, much to be won.  Things are shifting right now and in the day’s energies stuff is being shown for what it truly is beneath the surface.  This can mean different things to different people, and for those who do not want the rocking of the boat, it can just be business as normal.  For those of you who are seeing behind the appearances into the meanings, it can open you to the information of where and how things have been linked together and what are your options in dealing with all of this.  Sounds complicated, right?  But truly, it is not.  It is merely a matter of going within and using your intuition and the true vision of the heart’s knowing to see what is all around you.  There are some people out there who have claimed friendship for quite some time who really are merely some kind of psychic vacuums  It is time to get rid of them

NSA Monitoring, yep, Just about Everything

Confirmed: NSA has broken into Google, Yahoo data centers and now monitors all web searches, Gmail

Friday, November 01, 2013 by: J. D. Heyes

NaturalNews) If the reports earlier this summer detailing how the National Security Agency monitors all data passing through the nation’s internet service providers and tech companies was a little too much to digest or accept, that’s understandable.

After all, this is America, right? And the NSA isn’t supposed to be spying on Americans.

Only, it does, as a new report proves beyond any doubt.

According to The Washington Post, the NSA has managed to secretly hack into the main communication links that connect Yahoo! and Google data centers to the rest of the world, as per documents obtained from former NSA contractor-turned-fugitive Edward Snowden, as well as interviews with insider officials.

The paper said:

By tapping those links, the agency has positioned itself to collect at will from among hundreds of millions of user accounts, many of them belonging to Americans. The NSA does not keep everything it collects, but it keeps a lot.

MUSCULAR, PRISM data collection programs

A top-secret accounting dated Jan. 9, 2013, provided details about how the NSA’s acquisitions directorate sends millions of records daily from Yahoo and Google internal networks to databases located at the agency’s headquarters at Fort Meade, Md.

In the 30 days prior, the report noted, field collectors processed and returned 181,280,466 new records, ranging from “metadata,” which can provide information about who actually sent and received emails and when and content like text, video and audio.

The Post reported:

The NSA’s principal tool to exploit the data links is a project called MUSCULAR, operated jointly with the agency’s British counterpart, GCHQ. From undisclosed interception points, the NSA and GCHQ are copying entire data flows across fiber-optic cables that carry information between the data centers of the Silicon Valley giants.

The infiltration is especially striking because the NSA, under a separate program known as PRISM, has front-door access to Google and Yahoo user accounts through a court-approved process.

But apparently, even that access – authorized by the USA Patriot Act – isn’t good enough. Obviously, the NSA wants no oversight of its activities at all.

The Post said the MUSCULAR project looked to be “an unusually aggressive use” of NSA capabilities against American tech companies. To be sure, the NSA is built to conduct high-tech spying, and has a wide range of digital tools at its disposal, but has no previous reputation of using them at will against U.S. firms.

Despite the revelations, no one in government wanted to talk about them on the record. “White House officials and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees the NSA, declined to confirm, deny or explain why the agency infiltrates Google and Yahoo networks overseas,” the Post reported.

Privacy? What privacy?

Google released a statement saying the company was certainly “troubled by allegations of the government intercepting traffic between our data centers, and we are not aware of this activity.”

“We have long been concerned about the possibility of this kind of snooping, which is why we continue to extend encryption across more and more Google services and links,” the company said.

A spokeswoman from Yahoo added: “We have strict controls in place to protect the security of our data centers, and we have not given access to our data centers to the NSA or to any other government agency.”

According to earlier releases of top secret information by Snowden, the PRISM program is used by the NSA to gather incredible amounts of online communications records through legal means; tech companies, via warrants issued by the secret FISA court, are compelled to turn over data matching the court’s approved search terms.

That program is authorized under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

“Intercepting communications overseas has clear advantages for the NSA, with looser restrictions and less oversight. NSA documents about the effort refer directly to ‘full take,’ ‘bulk access’ and ‘high volume’ operations on Yahoo and Google networks,” the Post reported. “Such large-scale collection of Internet content would be illegal in the United States, but the operations take place overseas, where the NSA is allowed to presume that anyone using a foreign data link is a foreigner.”

In today’s online, interconnected world, America, you have no more privacy. That should be crystal clear by now.

Oh, and the NSA’s spying and data storage capability is only going to increase. The agency is building a massive new facility in Utah for just those purposes, among others: http://nsa.gov1.info.
