It's interesting that $cientology is mentioned as a cult "not unlike subud."  Back in January 1986, when L. Ron Hubbard died, I attended his "ascension" ceremony at the Palladium in Hollywood.  Pat and Annie Broeker were the heirs of the empire, but not much later David Miscavige pulled a coup and ousted them on a pretext.  Co$, last I heard, is run by three lawyers and an accountant.  Miscavige is a figurehead.  It was infiltrated by the gov't much earlier than Hubbard's death. 

It will be very interesting to see what Sheriff Joe Arpaio has turned up.  Co$ has their fingers in many pies.

WOW Americans are waking up.

Published on Mar 23, 2014

A new study from the University of Chicago says that nearly half of all Americans believe medical conspiracy theories. Researchers polled a bunch of people about whether or not they believed in six popular theories. 49% agreed with at least one. All the theories involve the US government doing terrible things to essentially kill people. Some in the MSM used the study to say people are nuts; The Resident thinks it says something else.

March 22, 2014

Systematic, acute, malicious discrimination in access to water in the West Bank and Gaza, combined with massive resource theft, is operated by the occupation authorities and the private water company Mekorot, writes Ayman Rabi on UN World Water Day.

Settlements benefit from enough water to run farms and orchards, and for swimming pools and spas, while Palestinians often struggle to access the minimum water requirements.

Today is UN World Water Day - a day to remember the billion people who are unable to meet their needs for safe, clean water due to drought, poverty and official neglect.

But it's also a day to remember, and fight for, 2.1 million Palestinians who suffer something different - an artificial water scarcity deliberately created and sustained by Israel's military occupation, and the private Israeli water company Mekorot.

Increased international pressure brings hope that the tide may be finally turning for Palestinians striving for water justice in the West Bank and Gaza - in particular, recent investment and partnership decisons against Mekarot, which runs Israel's discriminatory water policy in the West Bank.

Waterless in Gaza and East Jerusalem

The situation in Gaza is especially dire. The tiny, densely populated territory relies entirely on its depleted, saltwater-contaminated and sewage-polluted aquifer, and the water it produces is unfit for consumption. Water has to be bought, expensively, in bottles or from mobile tanks.

Moreover restrictions on fuel imports mean that Gaza's single power station spends most of its time idle - and so long as it's not running water and sewage cannot be pumped. So the taps are dry, toilets are blocked, and sewage pollution gets worse.

Not that Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem have it a lot better. As reported on 17th March, the city suffered a long water cut beginning on 4th March leaving Ras Shehada, Ras Khamis, Dahyat A'salam and the Shuafat refugee camp - cut off from the rest of the city by the separation wall - with no running water.

The reason is simple - old and inadequate water infrastructure, which there are no plans to improve or renew.

Oslo II Accords - the Palestinians were shafted

For West Bank as a whole the facts speak for themselves. The Oslo II Accords dealt Palestinians a singularly poor hand - limiting the volume of water it could produce, as well as imposing severe restrictions on the development and maintenance of Palestinian water infrastructure.

The Accords allow Palestinans to abstract only 118 million cubic meters (mcm) per year from boreholes, wells, springs and precipitation in the West Bank. But Israel is allowed to take four times as much - 483 mcm per year - from the same Palestinian resources.

So not only does Israel now occupy 80% of the area of historic Palestine, but it - via the water company Mekarot - also takes 80% of the water resources from the 20% of the land that is left to the Palestinians. 

Sold down the river

But it gets worse. Oslo II's draconian restrictions on water development imposed by Israel mean that Palestinians can only actually abstract 87 mcm in the West Bank, of the 118 mcm they are allowed.

The acute water deficit is made up by the supply of piped water from Israel. Mekarot currently sells the Palestinian Water Authority some 60 mcm per year - at full price.

As reported by Amira Hass in Ha'aretz"in that agreement Israel imposed a scandalously uneven, humiliating and infuriating division of the water resources". 

While Palestinian water is piped into Israel at no cost, a fraction of it is then piped back again, and paid for. In this way Israel is extracting from Palestinians both their water, and their money. 

In some cases Palestinians are forced to pay ten times more for their water than the price in Tel Aviv - as in the village of Sussia on South Mount Hebron, where they have to drive to the nearby town to buy over-priced water (see photo), even though a water main passes directly through the village on its way to an Israeli settlement.

Water plenty, and water famine

According to the UN Human Rights Council, this all translates into a wide disparity between water use by Palestinians and by settlers in the West Bank. Settlers enjoy 400 litres per capita per day (l/c/d) while some Palestinians surive on a little as 10 l/c/d.

All Palestinian populations receive water volumes far below the level recommended by the World Health Organization of 100 - 250 l/c/d. According to the UNHRC:

"Settlements benefit from enough water to run farms and orchards, and for swimming pools and spas, while Palestinians often struggle to access the minimum water requirements.

"Some settlements consume around 400 l/c/d, whereas Palestinian consumption is 73 l/c/d, and as little as 10-20 l/c/d for Bedouin communities which depend on expensive and low quality tanker water."

These very low levels of water provision fail to meet the water needs of many Palestinian communities - leaving them with often contaminated water, and not enough of it. 

While Palestinian water use may just exceed 70 l/c/d in the relatively well served urban centers of the West Bank, it drops much lower in rural areas that have no access to piped water and depend on wells and rainwater collection.

An estimated 113,000 Palestinians in the West Bank have no piped water supply, while hundreds of thousands more have only intermittent supply, especially in the summer.

Additional restrictions

The restrictions and limitations imposed on Palestinians to access their own resources and develop them have exacerbated the already severe water shortages among Palestinian communities.

Among the restrictions are limits on the size of supply pipe, intended to limit flows as a form of rationing. Typically 30% of the water leaks from Palestinian supply pipes - because Israel refuses to allow their renewal

In 'Area C', which covers 60% of the area of the West Bank, Palestinian farmers and communities are not allowed to connect to the water network that serves the growing settlements - and are forbidden even to dig out cisterns.

The international community considers the establishment of Israeli settlements in the Israeli-occupied territories illegal under international law, as set out in the report of the fact finding mission of the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Yet the construction of new illegal Israeli settlements and 'outposts', and the expansion of existing ones, is proceeding apace - and further reducing the quantity of water allocated to Palestinians.

Your water or your life

As reported by the UN in March 2012, another threat arises from settlers seizing springs by force: "Palestinians have increasingly lost access to water sources in the West Bank as a result of the takeover of springs by Israeli settlers, who have used threats, intimidation and fences to ensure control of water points close to the settlements."

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) examined 60 springs on Palestinian land close to Israeli settlements. They found that:

"In 22 of the water sources, Palestinians have been deterred from accessing the springs by acts of intimidation, threats and violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers, while in the eight springs under full settler control, Palestinian access has been prevented by physical obstacles, including the fencing of the spring area, and its 'de facto annexation' to the settlement."

Violence and destruction may also come directly from the occupation authorities. "Destruction of water infrastructure, including rainwater cisterns, by Israeli authorities has increased since the beginning of 2010; double in 2012 compared to 2011.

"The denial of water is used to trigger displacement, particularly in areas slated for settlement expansion, especially since these communities are mostly farmers and herders who depend on water for their livelihoods.

"A number of testimonies highlighted that the cutting off from water resources often precedes dispossession of lands for new settlement projects."

Mekorot - at the heart of Israel's water apartheid

All Israeli settlements in the West Bank are connected to piped water supplied by Israeli water company Mekorot, which took over responsibility for the water resources of the West Bank from the occupying forces in 1982.

Thus it Mekarot which is both the on-the-ground enforcer, and the economic beneficiary, of the West Bank's 'water apartheid'. 

As the UN Human Rights Council reports: "In the Jordan Valley, deep water drillings by the Israeli national water company Mekorot and the agro-industrial company Mehadrin have caused Palestinian wells and springs to dry up. Eighty per cent of the total water resources drilled in the area is consumed by Israel and the settlements."

"The lack of availability of Palestinian water resources has led to chronic shortages among Palestinian communities in Area C and a dependence on Mekorot ... Mekorot supplies almost half the water consumed by Palestinian communities.

Restricted access

The UNHRC also reported that Palestinians do not have access to the cheaper 'recycled water' available to Israeli settlements, and have to buy more expensive drinking water even for irrigation purposes.

This injustice and inequity of access to water supply has always been a source of tension, especially when Palestinian villagers see water pipes leading to Israeli colonies passing through their land without supplying their village with water - as reported above at Sussia.

"The Mission heard of situations where villagers must travel several kilometres to get water when closer water resources serve neighbouring settlements", reported UNHRC.

And even when they do get water, they receive second class treatment. "In the event of a water shortage, valves supplying Palestinian communities are turned off; this does not happen for settlements.

'Week of Action Against Mekorot'

Mekorot violates international law and colludes in resource grabbing -including pillaging water resources in Palestine. It supplies this pillaged water to illegal Israeli settlements, and engages in systematic discrimination and denial of water to the Palestinian population.

For this reason Palestinian organizations including PENGON / Friends of the Earth Palestine have co-organised a 'Stop Mekorot' week of action starting today, on World Water Day.

The campaign aims to intensify pressure on governments and companies to boycott Mekorot and hold the company accountable for its discriminatory water policies and practices in Palestine.

On March 20, the environmental federation Friends of the Earth International announced its support for the campaign against the discriminatory practices of Mekorot - joining the global call on governments, public and private utility companies and investors worldwide to avoid or terminate all contracts and cooperation agreements with Mekorot.

Campaign successes

In December 2013 the largest drinking water supplier in the Netherlands, Vitens, set a precedent when it decided that its commitment to international law meant it had to withdraw from a cooperation agreement with Mekorot. According to the company:

"Vitens attaches great importance to integrity and adhering to international laws and regulations. Following consultation with stakeholders, the company came to the realization that it is extremely difficult to continue joint work on projects, as they cannot be separated from the political environment."

Mekorot suffered another blow this week when authorities in Buenos Aires, Argentina, suspended a proposed $170m water treatment plant deal.

The decision followed a campaign by local trade unions and human rights groups which highlighted Mekorot's role in Israel's theft of Palestinian water resources - and raised the prospect that Mekorot might export its discriminatory water policies to Argentina.

Palestinians must have their rightful share of available resources and be granted full authority to manage them properly. Equitable and wise use of available resources among all people is the only basis for lasting peace in the region.

And until then the deliberate, systematic, purposeful water discrimination and resource theft carried out in Occupied Palestine by the Occupation and Mekorot must be recognised for what they are - crimes against humanity. The perpetrators must be punished accordingly.

Remember the famous open mic slip up where Obama told Medvedev to wait until after he was elected when he would have "flexibility" in missile defense?  Well, maybe that's what we are looking at.

We've heard the "we're all one" slogan for years now.  Well, here's an article that rebuts that notion.  I always try to find other sides to any story... so, what do you think?  Do his arguments have merit? I think so, at the state level, where there is a need for mass control of citizens.

While the article didn't address telepathy, I've always had the notion that it was something one could link into when there was a need, but that you could also put the DND (do not disturb) sign up and check out of the "party line" when you wanted privacy.  In other words, telepathy was not an all pervasive Big Brother constantly monitoring your thoughts but a mental or spiritual (or both) information superhighway like the internet in some ways.  In other words, the individual had choice and privacy was one of those choices.  Telepathy was a tool, a communication device, not a device for the totalitarian control of a population.  Just my thoughts.

Tolec Update 3/27/14

Tolec Update #1 (of 2), 3-27-14… “A Huge Article” (“China currency liberalization to be a ‘seismic event’”)
http://kauilapele.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/tolec-update-1-of-2-3-27-14-a-huge-article-china-currency-liberalization-to-be-a-seismic-event/

I’ll preface this by saying that Tolec sent an email tonight about an article he wrote today (this will be article 2). Since this article is also relevant to the second, I will include here, this short portion of his email:

“”Update March 28, 2014 – The Importance of this “Critical News Story”. It provides a detailed set of reasons, facts & details… why this movement away from debt based, fiat currency… IS RELEVANT… in overall transformation of this 3D world… into a 4D higher dimensional one. Again, I thought you really might appreciate it. AND, I believe it will ‘tie together some loose ends’… for many people who don’t understand &/or grasp all of the dynamics at play right now… across the globe.”

Tolec, March 27, 2014

The following article, “China currency liberalization to be a ‘seismic event’: Australia“, is huge in that: a.) it is one of the first from a major global news media outlet [Reuters] that alludes to the coming change of the ‘global reserve currency’… and the continued rise of China as a global financial superpower b.) the source quoted is the – ​Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Deputy Governor Philip Lowe.

Update - The Importance of this 'Critical News Story'
Tolec, March 28, 2014

Many of you are asking me Tolec -

Why or how are the many articles on international banking, the change from the USD to the TRN [no longer under the control of the "Federal Reserve"] [Kp note: TRN = Treasury Reserve Note], the rise of China as a global financial superpower, and the 'global financial reset' all relevant to... this planet's transformation into becoming a higher dimensional, 4D world?

The answer is detailed, but simple. If you remember, during many of my earlier interviews - I spoke about a time period during the transformation of this world into becoming a higher dimensional one... where there would also be a transition period of about 10-12 years [based on how we measure time today] when we as a global society would transition from a world economic system</strong> based on money, oil & power, which we have today... to new system whereby we as free sovereign Earth citizens, in a open, cooperative global society... where the remaining countries, regions & communities of people would willingly share energy, resources, goods, services & food... with no agenda except to help other [in the old days known as "barter"];

​Well, this step of "fiat", debt based, fractional reserve, 'paper' "money" [which is not money at all - it is simply debt compounded, payable to the Federal Reserve. Look up the legal definition of "note" which is found on a dollar bill, it means "debt"] + the "Federal Reserve" - is not - part of the United States of America, "...government of the people, by the people & for the people";

​ This economic, financial, social & 'spiritual' evolution of fiat "money" going away is being demanded all across the globe, by good people in high levels of power, in a new balance of global power... this evolution is a huge change. It represents a change in consciousness. It represents a change of awareness. It represents a change in the balance of power. It represents a change in tolerance. As in, '...we will no longer tolerate.... .'

It is a statement by a new growing majority, all across the globe, that we good people, we free sovereign citizens of Earth have had enough. We have been been controlled & manipulated enough. We have been abused enough. We are rightfully setting boundaries. We are taking our power back, and we are saying, with help & conviction, "... no more."

We will no longer be controlled by the power & fear mongering, ruling Cabal [with Reptilians at the top of this power structure] who have had their way with us for years. No more.

"We shall have a new birth of freedom". The future belongs to us. And it starts now.

This global change to - all - asset based currencies in every country across the globe, including the U.S, with each currency backed by some gold & each country's national treasures ['priceless' artwork in its museums, sculptures, precious gems, etc.], - and - in combination with each country's combined natural resources [other precious metals & minerals in the ground including oil & natural gas, etc.];

this change is one of the major first initial steps... of the transition from a "money" based global economic system... to one completely based on the open sharing of resources, and;

it is also one of the key 'social' consciousness issues in this process of change... of this world transforming from a 3D world... to a higher dimensional 4D world. One of open sharing, cooperation & love.
