- MY  STORY -
Picture
I am including my personal story, because it directly applies to the world we now live in. Awareness, focused attention and  belief helped me to survive a barrage of medical challenges and to see the world differently.

Now the very attributes that helped to enable my recovery are being suppressed. The status quo does not want alert, aware people looking critically at what it does.  Now  my perceptions and opinions are being engineered and manipulated by a government and an elite that will do anything to keep the public from knowing what is really going on. ANYTHING.

Ironically my medical journey began in total unawareness. I thought all I had was a toothache. This led to the discovery that it wasn't a toothache at all. My oral pain was due to an 
AVM in my head. My trigeminal nerve had become inflamed because of this AVM which was now radiating pain into my jaw.
It took over a year, three teeth extractions and a root canal before an MRI was finally scheduled revealing a grade 4 (grade 5 is inoperable) arteriovenous malformation, an AVM, in my head.

This led to four 
embolizations, a mini-stroke, and eight hours of brain surgery. During my hospital rehab I was diagnosed with a moderate to severe brain injury. When I was flat on my back, or in a wheelchair, or seeing double, when I could not swallow without choking or speak without slurring or balance a check, when an aneurysm clip let loose and floated down my spine, and later after cancer and four more surgeries, l knew. When everyone else thought otherwise, I knew that somehow -- I would comeback.
As I improved I  researched everything that I could find that related to enhancing neural functioning. Three books became life changings reads for me:
The Mind and the Brain

These books explored the power of awareness and focused attention. 
They explained the  phenomenon of neuroplasticity which 

has enabled a comeback that has taken me far beyond surviving.
The same focus and attention that I had used to aid in my  recovery brought with it a horrible awakening to the world about me.
As I got better these forces shifted from my brain to my world. It was as though I was seeing things for the first time. Shadows and blurs were now clear silhouettes. 

I had been so busy, so preoccupied, first with my business and then my health that I never looked, I never paid attention to what was going on in the world around me.  

Now I am awake and aware. Aware that the same forces that had empowered my recovery were now being intentional suppressed by our leaders and mainstream media.They absolutely do not want the public to be aware let alone know what is going on.

Focused attention, questions, discussion and analysis are now being replaced with lies, secrecy and suppression. Now the less you look, think and express yourself, the more you just blindly accept -- the better.
​

Fraud & Corruption, Death and Destruction are everywhere. It took almost dying for me to see what is really going on.
Humanity is at a crucial crossroads.  If we choose to ignore or look away it could well seal the fate of humanity and our planet.

Evil monopolistic cabals now run everything, and their hunger for profit, power and control are shattering the public's hopes for truth, peace  and justice.

Principles and values that I had taken for granted 
as American bedrock, are now routinely being thrown under the bus by neocon fascists and a rich oligarchy -- a group I call "Club Elite".
Life in America is becoming a modern day version of the Dark Ages complete with kings and serfs. 
These oppressors want to rule over far fewer of us 
in a new world order of dumbed-down serfs.

Sylvia Allegretto, a labor economist at the University of California, Berkeley, compared the Waltons’ cumulative net worth with that of the overall population, as cited in the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances. That survey was published in August 2012. She found that the Waltons’ wealth in 2010 was valued at $89.5 billion  (six people) -- equal to the entire bottom 41.5 percent of American families. That was six years ago I can only imagine h0w this disparity has grown since.

Using the Forbes 400 list for 2013, the wealth of six of Sam Walton’s descendants is staggering. Kings and serfs -- how much more proof do you need? Forbes rankings:
  1. No. 6 Christy Walton (daughter-in-law), $35.4 billion
  2. No. 7: Jim Walton (son), $33.8 billion
  3. No. 8: Alice Walton (daughter), $33.5 billion
  4. No. 9: S. Robson Walton (son), $33.3 billion
  5. No. 95: Ann Walton Kroenke (niece), $4.7 billion
  6. No. 110: Nancy Walton Laurie (niece), $4 billion
  7. Total Walton family wealth: $144.7 billion.
There was no way I could see all this, know all this and not be true to myself.
There was no way I could not become an activist. 
Thus began my journey
