All around the planet hundreds of millions of people are waiting for events to unfold in 2012. Many believe these events will bring either the birth of a harmonious new reality as the Age changes. Is it the dawning of the Age of Aquarius or the end of the world?
But what if those events were actually taking place THIS YEAR, 2011?
The new film "The Quickening" explains why so many people have been experiencing the sensation that "time is speeding up," particularly since the earthquake in Japan.
It shows the research that indicates that this accelerated experience of reality could peak sometime around October 28th, 2011, culminating in a global experience of unity consciousness, leading to the experience of a harmonious new way of being in the world.
The movie also looks at unfolding events directly relating to Hopi and Mayan prophecies. These indicate that we are on the cusp of great changes that mark the shifting of the Age and the birth of a new world.
For the World to Live "Columbus" Must Die Russell Means, Program #MEAR003, recorded in Denver, CO on April 27, 1992 LISTEN TO AUDIO. For too many of us, for too long, the indigenous peoples of this continent have been curiosities that existed somewhere over the horizon between fantasy and reality. The popularly crafted images were of medicine men [mostly women], squaws, peace pipes, teepees, tom toms, tomahawks, war bonnets, war paint, war whoops, and war parties. The only Indians we knew were named Tonto, Geronimo, and Crazy Horse. In recent years a lot of these cliches have disappeared. The American Indian Movement has done much to break down the conventional stereotypes. AIM articulates a program of self awareness and pride. It promotes treaty and land rights and religious freedom for Native Americans.
Russell Means, an Oglala Dakota and a prominent voice in the continuing struggle for indigenous rights, is a founding member of AIM and one of its leading spokespersons. He is Chief Executive Officer of the American Indian Anti-Defamation Council, an organization which monitors anti-Indian racism in the media and politics, and has organized and lectured throughout the world.

Another's lies, another's truth Another's doubt, another's proof The idea born in someone's mind Is nurtured by a thousand blind Anonymous beings, vacuous souls Do you fear the confusion, your lack of control? You lift your arm to write a name So caught up in the identity game

Anothers love, another's pain Anothers pride, another's shame Do you watch at a distance from the side you have chosen? Whose answers serve you best? Who'll save you from confusion? Who will leave you an exit and a comfortable cover Who will take you oh so near the edge, but never drop you over? Who do you watch?
Is privatization and the creation of "Gladiator Schools" in a prison-industrial complex the answer?
If asking one prison to beat, maim, or kill another is not effective, torture is prescribed (forced cell extraction, sitting on, arm twisting, manhandling, hog tying, pepper spraying, stripping naked, beating, concussion, choke holds, beatings, shooting, blinding, and on to death) at the discretion of prison guards and officials. Crime? Disobeying or not obeying quickly enough to suit draconian standard procedures. This torture is filmed because it complies with standards and practices. The camera is turned off when guards choose to employ "cruel and unusual" measures they would never likely be prosecuted for or even charged with.

"Summer Pasture" -- or "Nomad's Life" -- portrays the story of a Tibetan family at a crossroads.
Husband Locha and wife Yama question their future as nomads as they spend their summer in eastern Tibet's Zachukha grasslands. It is an area known as Wu-Zui or "Five-Most," the highest, coldest, poorest, and most remote county in Sichuan Province, China.
Due to the growing pressures of modernization, the couple has to now face the challenge and have their lifestyle reshaped. Directed by Lynn True, Nelson Walker III, Tsering Perlo.
What do Tibetan nomads have to do with Native Americans? They are the same people, who thousands of years ago crossed the Bering Straits to seed the Eskimos and other indigenous Americans.
The planet and human life on it are far older than conventional anthropology concedes. But this field is contradicted by archeology, common sense, spiritual records, and mythology.
The similarities between Native Tibetans and Native Americans are so striking as to be painfully obvious. A trip to Ladakh, India or among the Hmong, Karen, and other native mountain tribes of Asia makes it perfectly clear.
"Summer Pasture" puts on display shocking "coincidences" or clear parallels rooted in a common historical family? The usual answer, however unlikely, is that sometimes similar circumstances lead to similar independent solutions. That may be. The consistent shamanistic traditions of people around the world furthermore suggest the reality of spirit worlds.
Steve Quayle was interviewed on a classic Coast to Coast episode discussing the mountain of evidence for giants (called asuras or "titans" in Buddhism).
There is a growing body of fossil evidence that is hidden away -- except in Central and South America and a jaw and enormous artifacts in the US. Quayle's book LongWalkers explores the story of a fresh redheaded giant with extra digits and two rows of teeth brought out of Afghanistan by the US military.
There is a worldwide history of giants as well as architecture built for and by them -- Sumerian, Egyptian, Mesoamerican, Judeo-Christian. Many modern giants are regarded as anomalies or simply relegated to basketball (such as Shaquille O'Neal, shown alongside his new girlfriend Nicole Alexander).
But the giants recorded in histories around the world were strong, voracious, war-like titans, the hybrid result of miscegenation with humans. Documented scientific cases of skeletons, sightings, interaction, artifacts, uncounted burial mounds, and native legends go back hundred of years by early explorers in the US and elsewhere -- many of them concerning Native American tribes of "savage" giants among ordinary nations.
Buddhism speaks not only of asuras but also nagas (which can mean reptilian or any massive creature), cannibalistic cave and forest-dwelling ogres (yakkhas), and hungry "ghosts" (pretas and bhumma-devas) who are often chimeras (crossbred animals from bestial acts).
Not only giants, but bestial fallen angels (inimical visitors from space), mermaids, and monsters are recorded in the histories of Sumerians, Aztecs, Incas, Peruvians, Native Americans, Irish, British, East Indian, Pharaohs, biblical figures, and many other "mythological" creatures. More interestingly, some small percentage exist to this day on the planet.
STONEFIELD BEACH, Oregon – A true Earth twin might be revealed soon. Astronomers expect to find other warm, wet, rocky worlds teeming with life in what’s been called a “discovery of alien Earths by the dozens within the next few years," states a leading astrobiologist.
The Roman poet Lucretius believed in “other worlds in other parts of the universe, with races of different men and different animals.” Ancient Native Americans -- who settled this region of the central Oregon coast at Stonefield Beach -- also pointed to “another Earth” in the sky.
Leaders in astrobiology, who have studied the “native peoples” in this region, said they believe a true Earth twin might be revealed “soon.” In his new book Strange New Worlds: The Search for Alien Planets, renowned astronomer Ray Jayawardhana, a professor and Canada Research Chair in Observational Astrophysics at the University of Toronto, states that the discovery of other Earths will “trigger paradigm shifts not only in science but also in many other human endeavors, from the arts to religion.” More
A number of academic archaeology textbooks rudely dismiss [America's most famous psychic] Edgar Cayce’s pronouncements about ancient history. Cayce was, to them, a “cult archaeologist” -- unworthy of further investigation.
...Despite the claims of archaeologists, the history of ancient America put forth in Edgar Cayce’s readings has never been tested. Edgar Cayce, America’s famous “Sleeping Prophet,” gave 68 “psychic readings” between 1925 to 1944 that provided information on America’s Mound Builders and ancient American history.
These readings have never been thoroughly analyzed and have been largely forgotten. For the first time, Cayce’s statements about ancient America are genuinely compared to current archaeological evidence.
The authors relate that they began with a skeptical point of view but the weight of the evidence eventually showed Cayce’s accuracy. Incredibly, nearly everything Cayce related about the Mound Builders and the patterns of migrations to ancient America is true.
Since 1997, a series of astounding developments have shattered American archaeology’s most cherished beliefs. Excavations have uncovered solid evidence that ancient America was probably settled at least 50,000 years ago.
Genetic evidence shows that several waves of migrations came into America from not only Siberia, but also from Polynesia, China, and Japan.
A mysterious genetic type has been identified in ancient American skeletal remains as well as in some modern Native Americans. This enigmatic type is also linked to Israel, parts of Spain, France, Italy, and the northern Gobi Desert. It may well have originated in a location between America and Europe. This genetic type entered America in about 10,000 B.C. and could be the result of migrations from the mythical land of Atlantis.
Another genetic type could be from the mythical land of Mu. More
According to Buddhist cosmology, the Titans (asuras) were cast out of their nearby world in space onto Earth. Angry and upset, they have taken it out on humans and space dwelling beings ever since. Of course, this is the province of "mythology" and it is well known. But mythology itself should be understood not as shaman fantasy or epic poetry, but as humankind's oldest history. It has survived around the world in countless cultures because we are collectively remembering a history that was difficult to endure, recover from, and retain. Even when written records exist (Indian, Egyptian, Sumerian, Tibetan, proto-Judeo-Christian, Mesoamerican), we instantly discount that as myth as well. Can we do the same for more modern records that again tell the tale of giants that roamed even this continent and country and mated with modern humans?
History Mysteries: Giants roamed the American western plains Terrence Aym (Hellium) “There were giants in the Earth in those days” (Genesis 6:4).
At one time a much more ancient race roamed the plains and deserts of pre-Columbian America. The evidence of their existence and their passing is related in Native-American folklore, the logs of world-famous explorers, and their desiccated bones -- now carelessly strewn about the sites of their ancient communities.
Some present day Native American tribes continue to recite the legends of the giants and how their ancestors fought brutal wars against them when they arrived in North America 15,000 years ago only to find the giants already here.
Others, like the Aztecs and Mayans, recorded their encounters with a race of giants to the north when they ventured out on exploratory expeditions. More
Either it is true or it is not. Either there is an opening under the clouds or there is not. It would not be hard to check -- if it were legal to fly over the poles. It would not be hard to sail there -- as Dr. Brooks Agnew set out to do before being frustrated at every turn by US officials well outside of their jurisdiction. How could we have Aurora Borealises over both poles simultaneously if it's caused by solar winds? How could birds fly toward the antarctic pole for winter? Why are there no photos of these parts of the planet? Why does Google Earth block or doctor images of this area? Why do images of the poles from cameras in space not get released? Why can we look up any and everything but not so simple a thing as topographical maps of wasteland snow, sea, and tundra?

HAPPY CAMP, California - I knew that lots of honest folks did believe that Bigfoot (Sasquatch or as crypto-zoologists call him, Gigantopithecus) not only exists but also thrives in Klamath River country between the Humboldt County coast and the Shasta Cascade.
That was enough to pique my curiosity. In Willow Creek, we headed to the China Flat Museum to meet the curator of its Bigfoot exhibit, Al Hodgson.
Now 87, Hodgson carries his adoration for all things Sasquatch on his sleeve, showing me around the vast collection of unreasonably large casts of footprints (one of which Hodgson made in nearby Bluff Creek, site of the only known filmed Bigfoot "sighting"), as well as schooling me on the history of "sightings" in and around Willow Creek and the hoaxes.
Yes, tricksters have strapped on giant wooden feet and traipsed around the mountains in them.
Levelheaded Hodgson explained the main signs of the big guy's existence: a woven nest of sticks and leaves, an amazingly horrid stench, piled rocks, twisted tree limbs, and massive tracks.
Itching to get into nature, we drove along the aptly named Bigfoot Scenic Byway, which meanders along the Trinity and Klamath rivers, sinuously inching past peaks blanketed with verdant trees, yellow fields, and dramatic lupines. For nearly 80 miles this byway took us as far from civilization as you can get in California without hiking into the backcountry.
We continued through the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation, the largest in California, and home to people who believe the high country is sacred and should not be entered by anyone but the most revered [shamanistic California] medicine men. More
HUMBOLDT RIVER, Lovelock, Nevada - The Paiute Indians [who inhabited a range from Yosemite, California to Nevada] have a legend about their ancestors and red-haired giants. These giants, known as Si-Te-Cah, used to kill and eat the Paiute tribes. Though the Si-Te-Cah were small in numbers, they posed a dire threat to the Paiute, who were beginning to settle the area.... [This means they would literally be the yakkhas (rakshasas) of Buddhist lore. Far from animals, these cannibals are sophisticated albeit brutal hominids, like Alavaka. They live and have lived in many mountainous parts of the world, including Afghanistan: Steve Quayle wrote about the American military killing and transporting one enormous specimen in LongWalkers.] Could there really have been a race of Caucasoid giants that inhabited North America before the Native Americans? Are the artifacts discovered in Lovelock Cave proof that history is wrong? More
Stonehenge on the morning of the solstice with New Age, neo-Pagan, hippie revelers and a few scientists welcoming the Sun (AP)
LONDON (AP) — A damp overcast morning has failed to deter thousands of people gathered at Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice.
Around 18,000 neo-pagans, new agers, and curious visitors gathered Tuesday in heavy rain to watch the Sun rise over the ancient stone circle on the Salisbury Plain about 80 miles (130 km) southwest of London.
The celebrations are a modern twist on solstice celebrations that were a highlight of the pre-Christian calendar.
Police say the event was good natured, but 20 people were arrested for drug and public disorder offenses.
Stonehenge was built in three [major] phases [and lots of tweaking] between 3000 B.C. and 1600 B.C. It is one of Britain's most popular tourist attractions with over 850,000 visitors a year. More
For thousands of years, the high, arid San Luis Valley has spawned tales of the strange and the fantastic. Later inhabitants noted a peculiar energy attributed to a combination of wind, 8,000-foot altitude, and an enormous aquifer beneath the highest high desert outside of Tibet. Some went further, claiming hidden UFO [i.e., Deep Underground Military] bases and mysterious portals where aliens enter and exit our world. All the while, the largest alpine valley on Earth became a magnet for eccentrics, dreamers, and seekers. Native Americans called itthe Bloodless Valley, setting aside their weapons as they made vision quests up sacred Blanca Peak, the great sentinel of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains whose bony spine winds dramatically from southern Colorado to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Annual celebrations prove Stonehenge is more than just a Pagan magnet

These beings in Buddhist cosmology hold woodland power and possibly answers. Even if the Sierra Madre mountain range reveals nothing but misty emanations of light by granite-and-gold encrusted stones, streams, and placid Lake Tenaya, it will be an adventure to rival trekking in the Himalayas.
