The Ups and Downs of ESP and other assorted abilities. I'm sure most of us who are adults have met people that were just so intelligent that they might just be so preoccupied with their intellectual thoughts that they would walk in front of a bus and then would be gone unless there was someone more present in the physical around them. Then there is the type that is just so very co-ordinated and physical that they are so in their bodies that they take larger and larger risks to see what the limits of their physical abilities are. I have known people like this and they are lucky to live to 20 or 30 years of age. I count myself lucky as my abilities have always been fairly well integrated into me. I have always been physical and jumping off of roofs and the like as a child. In fact, I found out from a podiatrist when she x-rayed my feet that I have hundreds of micro fractures that I got as a kid jumping off 1 story or higher buildings on a dare with my friends.
Also, I used to jump my motorcycle so that the rear wheel was 8 feet off the ground so you must land perfectly every time not to crash. So I guess you could say I have always been a risk taker in this sense. But along with this I was always given common sense to know when to stop to keep body and mind together in the physical.
The most useful tool for me personally is to as much as possible go walk alone or with my dogs in a forest at least 1 mile from the nearest person. This allows me to relax my aura and to become at one with the forest.
If I'm around people I try to create harmony so no verbal or physical fights break out. I do this with my aura as this is a very strong but silent ability. So if I'm close enough to people I'm always doing this. It is a way to protect all beings from unnecessary harm.
Sometimes, I must be even more focused to prevent physical or psychic harm to myself or others. I have learned from Tibetan Teachers how to keep others from gaining bad karma in trying to harm me or others either psychically or physically. However, sometimes people are just exploding with misdirected anger and I have no choice but to put up a forcefield and instantly return their karma. The usual result is that they have to "eat" what they are sending out. There are many reactions to this. One, is to be afraid and walk away. Two, is to realize the harm they were doing and stop. I think you can imagine for yourself what karmic return does in more serious situations. But remember always that people are only getting what they are dishing out so as a soul they are learning "As you sow so shall ye reap".
So, no matter what set of abilities you were born with it is most important to become both integrated and comfortable with these abilities. Learning to love yourself and to accept both your abilities individually and collectively is vital to your survival both physically and mentally long term. People may come and go throughout your life but if you can't be your best friend and love and accept yourself then you will be miserable. That is a given for all of us.
The first rule to be able to love and accept yourself for life is: Don't ever do anything you can't live with for a lifetime knowing that you did it.( Otherwise, if you do something you can't live with you might injure or kill yourself eventually.)
There is a Tibetan statement and truism that I would like to share with you, "Be kind to all Beings because friends sometimes become enemies and enemies sometimes become friends."
I have found that over 20 to 30 years or more this is very true. Sometimes your best friend or lover has a problem with you or themselves and you have to live without them the rest of your life and other times people or nations that were once your enemy become your friends, sometimes your best friends.
The development of any of our abilities is usually based upon the need of the moment. So, no matter what your abilities the ones that you will tend to develop the most no matter what your abilities are will be the ones you most need in any given moment of your life.
So, because of this there will be many abilities that one will overlook because the need of using or even knowing about this ability might never arise unless there is some kind of emergency and out of complete desperation you find out about this ability. So, unfortunately, the only way to know your full abilities and capacities is to put yourself in some kind of danger like in traveling to another country, area or state. It is important, however, not to do these things lightly in an unprepared way otherwise instead of opening up your awareness to your full abilities you could destroy yourself permanently. So always be mindful of the risks of whatever you are planning to do.

Arcangel Michael and his Band
Arcangel Michael and his Band. My first memory that makes any sense to me took place when I was around 1 or 2 years old. I was being rocked to sleep at night sometime around Christmas in my Grandmother's (mother's mother) lap in a stuffed rocking chair of the kind they had in the 1940's. It had to be around 1950 around Christmas if I was 2 1/2. It would be 1949 if I was 1 1/2 years old. My grandmother (Nana) was singing "Hark the Herald Angels Sing!" While she was singing, Arcangel Michael and his band of angels appeared in the room with us. They all smiled at me as if I was with them or a part of them. They all had shoulder length hair and no beards or facial hair. They all wore different colored armor up to their necks so the jeweled armor glistened from their inner light and power. Arcangel Michael had the lightest colored hair but there were angels of all colors of hair and eyes with him. All were male and seemed prepared for battle.
This experience because I was so young burned into my memory so intensely that I still remember this as if it happened yesterday. Since I'm not still a child with the clear senses of a child when I see an angel now I can't see their faces. I only see an oval of light. In Michael's case he manifests to me as a life size oval of blue light, especially if he is there to protect me from serious danger. This has happened several times in my life which has resulted in me still being alive and healthy now.
I had sort of a humorous experience when a friend just answered the phone. "Blue Angel" she said, "I laughed and said I had been writing something about Arcangel Michael and how he appears as a blue oval of light life size to me now. She said, "Oh. I was waiting for a call from my friend in Maui so we didn't stay on the line long. Anyway, I felt the need to write of Arcangel Michael and his band as the world just doesn't feel right somehow. Speaking of Arcangel Michael and his band and witnessing this to you increases his power to help not only me but you in these strange times on earth.

If your Dog gets Hit by a porcupine tail
If your dog gets hit by a porcupine. I was rereading an article I wrote called "Our 500 year American Gun Culture" and decided to write this piece. I have had two experiences like this. one with a friends dog and one with my own. It is usually a medium to large dog that doesn't know what a porcupine is and walks up and bites it. However, if people aren't around the likelihood is that the the dog will die or in other cases go blind and then die.
The problem is that the porcupine barbs are designed to push in ever deeper so when the dog fights to get rid of them the usual result is that the barbs are shoved up into the dogs brain and the dog dies.
If you are rich enough you could just take the dog to a vet and have him remove the quills after tranquilizing the dog. However, when both these incidents occurred there just wasn't money to do that.
So in the first incident I was visiting some forest acreage belonging to a friend of mine in the 1970's when my friends female black Labrador dog started yelping and screaming. We came running and found her in a terrible state. Never having seen this before I was horrified. My friend was upset but knew what to do. He said, "Fred. Go get some rope off my truck. We have to hog tie her. I'll try to calm her down. Also, I've got a pair of pliers in my tool box. Get those too." I was sort of freaked out not really knowing what to think at that point but still helping my friend in this crisis. I was a little worried that his dog would injure one of us because she had about 30 to 50 quills in her nose and inside her mouth. One quill was dangerously near one of her eyes.
So, when I returned he said, "I'll hogtie her legs so she can't run. She's a good dog so I think she'll let us do this. (If you have a really macho dog you might have to sedate him or her somehow or you will get hurt by the confused and injured dog).
So after he hogtied the animal he said, "Fred, you've got to hold her head to the ground on this towel so she can't bite us out of reflex. So I did as I was recommended. I watched him pull the quills out of her mouth one by one. Each time he pulled one she screamed in pain. However, we both knew if someone didn't do this the dog would die. To keep her from jamming the quills up into her brain I finally had to put a 2 inch stick across the back of her mouth so she wouldn't accidentally kill herself by shoving a quill into her brain by closing her mouth. Since the quills are designed to go in deeper and not be pulled out there was some blood as we ripped each quill out. Also, one must be pretty strong as it may take at least a 50 to 100 pound pull and grip to pull each quill out. If one is lodged in a bone this may increase to 200 to 250 pound pull to get it out.
Finally, we counted about 50 quills we had pulled out. There were couple that had broken off under the skin that we hoped wouldn't kill the dog but they weren't headed for the brain and likely wouldn't be fatal.
We gave the dog a pan of water to recover from the shock and extreme pain she had had to endure. The dog lived at least another 7 or 8 years after this incident so it all went fairly well.
Also, if you take you pet to the vet expect to pay at least $1000 to have this done and possibly more if an anesthetic is used. These fees would pertain more to California and the pet culture here.
So when my own dog had exactly the same experience on some acreage I owned then in Mt. Shasta I was prepared and had my wife and children then help me save the dogs life by hogtying her with rope and removing the quills with pliers.

Money Market Funds
Money market Funds. I was walking with my family yesterday to a restaurant. I walked past a newspaper stand and saw a usa today article that said something like, "Money Market Funds in Trouble". That concerned me some so when I went home I talked to a friend on the phone who is a full time investor and so studies this kind of thing between 4 to 8 hours every day. He said that where he and I were invested we were okay but that there are many companies that have invested their money market funds less conservatively into sub-prime mortgages and some of these are in jeopardy. So it might be useful if you have money into money market funds to find out what those funds are invested in and if your funds are in jeopardy now.
Lions for Lambs
Lions for Lambs. When I read a lot of the viewer reviews(?) for the movie "Lions for Lambs" I wondered if they had even seen the movie that I had. The movie is mostly about asking questions. 58,000 men died in Viet Nam because the right questions weren't asked at the appropriate time and so they died. The largest number of these men were exactly my age. At that time and now there is this, "My country right or wrong!" and "America love it or leave it!" attitude prevailing. However, thinking this way is only useful if our country is being decimated by bombs going off right now in our cities and we were all fighting for every inch of ground. That is not the case today.
As a Coastal Californian I actually question Authority no matter who the supposed Authority is. I don't believe something just because they say it in print or on TV. I especially don't believe 95% of what I see on Fox as I consider it a Republican infomercial 24 hours a day. So I know right off there simply is NO bipartisanship ever on Fox news. If I watch Fox news I know I will only get a conservative Republican opinion and slant on everything. Sometimes I watch Fox just because it is useful sometimes with some issues to be a little paranoid. And Fox is paranoid a lot in the way people were paranoid during and just after World War II. However, then after the hell they had been through at that time they had a right to be paranoid but not so much now.
The Title Lions for Lambs referred to the ineffective generals "the Lambs" on all sides of World War I who got literally millions of Lions "soldiers" killed for no reason but incompetence during world war I. It now refers to the totally incompetent way the Iraq war was handled from the beginning and of all the men and women killed because of the incompetence of their generals now. This situation is true for both sides as well now. Also, like World War I there is an incredible amount of war profiteering and corruption going on on both sides.
Then as now it is vitally important for people to keep their eyes open and to protect the lives of their children and not just to flush their children down a corrupt toilet of a presently corrupt Government. Wars always bring out both the worst and the best in people. The soldiers who went to this war have all been very brave and idealistic and noble. However, their leaders have completely failed them. If we don't question our supposed leaders then we fail not only our leaders but we fail our country, our children and our world.

Cycles
Cycles. Today I'm the last man standing in my family. My wife and daughter have a serious flu. Hopefully, I don't get it as I need to take care of them.
I was talking to a grief therapist my family talks to regarding originally the passing of my wife's mother and now the eminent passing of my own. I was talking about how the business world and economics in general reminds me a lot of when the Savings and Loans collapsed in the early 80's. Then they collapsed in part due to the craziness of Viet Nam. I could also say that the Subprime worldwide financial loss is also due to 9-11 and the wars that have followed. There is always a craziness that lends itself to any war. There is also a group post traumatic stress disorder that ripples through any nation at war as the psychological and physical casualties cause repercussions throughout all eventually in our nation. There is always similar lack of accountability in the financial arena that accompanies any war as well. It is as if all the normal sane rules of functioning go out the window during a war.
It is not that torture of one kind or another hasn't happened in any war. It is just the way it is done and the way it is viewed changes from era to era. The most tortured from these last wars are actually everyone on earth almost equally for now like Thomas Friedman's book title says, "The World is Flat", in other words the rules have now changed and the opportunities are becoming more equal worldwide. What that means for us in the U.S. is likely a general lowering of our standards of living even as other parts of the world increase their standards. While still other areas people will just tend to starve and die because of changes in the weather.
As a psychic I expect (unless major changes in terraforming and weather controlling technology are invented) a population of about maximum 2 billion people to remain in 2100 on earth and 1 billion or less in the next century. Whether this is a bad thing or not to you probably depends on whether it is your friends and family that genetically go extinct during this century. Generally speaking I expect the population losses to in ratio be just about the way populations and ethnic groups are on the planet now.
World population right now is expected to be between 6.5 Billion and 6.7 billion. The United States is expected to be 308 million by 2010. China is now 1 billion 330 million approximately.So if I take the total population of the earth and create a ratio between 6.7 billion and 2 billion its closest approximation would be 30%. So if you take your calculator and multiply by .3 what your nations population is an approximation of what population I believe as a psychic that will be left in your lands as of 2100.
Pandemics can take away as much as 95% of an affected population as well. So if there is a major pandemic in your nation then this is a totally different thing.
Each of us creates our own future and the future of our wives, children and friends by all the decisions we make (or don't make) now. Not only that, people we don't know that may not be educated at all in another area of the world are affecting our lives and futures by the decisions they make or don't make right now as well. Therefore educating the masses as to the full consequences of their actions might be the easiest way to create more survival for all of us. One way to do this is the XO computer being built by MIT and others to cheaply bring hand crank laptops capable of wireless wifi communication in 140 degrees farenheit basically anywhere on earth as long as there is a wifi compatible computer or hotspot to log into. By educating 3rd world children who can not only access most knowledge but learn to program open source technology for all to use we might be able to begin saving ourselves.
So in regard to population changes that are likely if major changes aren't implemented, the U.S. likely (if nothing changes) will be around 92.4 million people.
In regard to China their population likely would be 399 to 400 million people. In regard to your country just do the math if you are interested.

7028
7028. The first time I saw them(the friends from the future year 7028 that claimed to be reincarnations of my parents) it was 1969 not 1974. However, in this situation they appeared as silvery ghosts through some kind of technology I have never heard of then or now unless it was some kind of holographic projection. At the time in late 1969 I had been excommunicated from the church I was raised as a child in and had broken up with my girlfriend ( who I had planned the next 20 years or more around) who also wasn't allowed by the church to speak to me ever again as well as thousands of friends around the world. At the time I didn't see much point to staying alive and was communicating with God through prayer that I felt it was time for me to die.
Right about the time when I was considering how to disconnect myself from my body permanently the male and female future beings appeared. What they said to me is that I could not take my life because something I would do in this lifetime would be pivotal to the survival of mankind and life on earth. I had no reason to disbelieve them at the time. I said that I would live on on behalf of the survival of life on earth even though I might never have a desire to live for myself ever again. I took this vow seriously and have ever since. They also said I might have to live far beyond the normal span of years to accomplish this task. Though I didn't know what to make of this I agreed to this as well.
Within one year of this time I took a course in cultural Anthropology in college and found that the definition of shaman is one that lives between worlds because psychologically that one has already died but their body lives on for God's purposes. This has been my experience. At one point I saw myself as the Ghost who walks. After that I saw myself as father and husband. Now I see myself as householder yogi, father and husband.
Since then I have had no fear of death because I have already died. I live only by the Grace of God for his purposes. So I live for my children, my wife, my friends and my family of all life on earth and beyond. This is what keeps me still in a body on earth.
The two silvery beings that returned this time with a time space ship that looked like a saucer shaped ufo about 25 to 30 feet in diameter have always been an anomaly to me. If you were driving down the road and you came upon a bear in the middle of the road you likely would stop until the bear moved. My experience with them would be a lot like that. (By the way I have had this kind of experience with a bear too.)
To have these kinds of experiences one has to respect the power of the other to come away from the experience successfully and alive. This is not just a fairy tale I'm making up it is my life experience. I'm not really asking you to believe me I'm mostly asking you to entertain the possibility of what I'm saying. To demand that you believe me might only traumatize you and unless you have had this experience too your reaction might be unnecessary to your survival as a being in a body. However, to deny the possibility that what I'm saying is true is to render oneself incapable of necessary survival adaptations in case what I'm saying is true!
It would be like denying that the bear is in the road and getting out of the car to take a pee and have the Grizzly slice you in two with its paw and claws because you are walking on his turf.
I write what I write so that you and your children can survive in a real world and not the fake one we are told to believe in now. We are all like the Hawaiians when Captain Cook first came to Hawaii. The Kahunas (Government intelligence officials) tell us that if we believe in UFOs we will be ridiculed and lose our jobs and livelihoods and families. So we hide our heads in the sand collectively and buy into complete bullshit in order to keep our jobs and families. Well, I'm sorry just because you don't believe in them both UFO's and Grizzlies are real and to deny their existence doesn't mean they aren't here right now.
There are two Men In Black movies with Will Smith in one of the leads. I propose to you that even though the movie is very humorous it is really the way things actually are.
This is my experience. You don't have to agree with me unless this is your experience too. If this is your experience and you live in denial of it then you have some pretty serious mental issues. Each of our survival is predicated upon being pragmatic enough to deal with whatever comes in our lives. To deny the possibility of something simply prevents one from coping when that possibility walks up and shakes your hand or cuts you in two in the case of the Grizzly.
So my approach to life is that if a ufo or in my case future humans from 7000+ AD come and say "Hi!" I have to entertain the possibility that what I'm experiencing is real. It does not deny the fact that I also live in the 21st century in the United States. It does however mean that I don't just bring these facts up anytime. I only write here about my experiences because I'm disgusted with the human race for being ostriches with their heads in the sand while they are stalked by lions. Whether these are lions or bears or aliens it doesn't matter. If we want to survive as humans we have to be ready for anything just like our ancestors were in the wild west of the 1800's here in America.
Feeling safe is always an option. However, actually being safe might not have ever been a real option since there have been humans on earth. To deny that life is dangerous is to just be another ostrich with your head in the sand. Life has always been dangerous and always will be. Denying this basic fact only leads to all our premature deaths.
Right about the time when I was considering how to disconnect myself from my body permanently the male and female future beings appeared. What they said to me is that I could not take my life because something I would do in this lifetime would be pivotal to the survival of mankind and life on earth. I had no reason to disbelieve them at the time. I said that I would live on on behalf of the survival of life on earth even though I might never have a desire to live for myself ever again.

Since then I have had no fear of death because I have already died. I live only by the Grace of God for his purposes. So I live for my children, my wife, my friends and my family of all life on earth and beyond. This is what keeps me still in a body on earth.
The two silvery beings that returned this time with a time space ship that looked like a saucer shaped ufo about 25 to 30 feet in diameter have always been an anomaly to me. If you were driving down the road and you came upon a bear in the middle of the road you likely would stop until the bear moved. My experience with them would be a lot like that. (By the way I have had this kind of experience with a bear too.)
To have these kinds of experiences one has to respect the power of the other to come away from the experience successfully and alive. This is not just a fairy tale I'm making up it is my life experience. I'm not really asking you to believe me I'm mostly asking you to entertain the possibility of what I'm saying. To demand that you believe me might only traumatize you and unless you have had this experience too your reaction might be unnecessary to your survival as a being in a body. However, to deny the possibility that what I'm saying is true is to render oneself incapable of necessary survival adaptations in case what I'm saying is true!
It would be like denying that the bear is in the road and getting out of the car to take a pee and have the Grizzly slice you in two with its paw and claws because you are walking on his turf.
I write what I write so that you and your children can survive in a real world and not the fake one we are told to believe in now. We are all like the Hawaiians when Captain Cook first came to Hawaii. The Kahunas (Government intelligence officials) tell us that if we believe in UFOs we will be ridiculed and lose our jobs and livelihoods and families. So we hide our heads in the sand collectively and buy into complete bullshit in order to keep our jobs and families. Well, I'm sorry just because you don't believe in them both UFO's and Grizzlies are real and to deny their existence doesn't mean they aren't here right now.
There are two Men In Black movies with Will Smith in one of the leads. I propose to you that even though the movie is very humorous it is really the way things actually are.
This is my experience. You don't have to agree with me unless this is your experience too. If this is your experience and you live in denial of it then you have some pretty serious mental issues. Each of our survival is predicated upon being pragmatic enough to deal with whatever comes in our lives. To deny the possibility of something simply prevents one from coping when that possibility walks up and shakes your hand or cuts you in two in the case of the Grizzly.
So my approach to life is that if a ufo or in my case future humans from 7000+ AD come and say "Hi!" I have to entertain the possibility that what I'm experiencing is real. It does not deny the fact that I also live in the 21st century in the United States. It does however mean that I don't just bring these facts up anytime. I only write here about my experiences because I'm disgusted with the human race for being ostriches with their heads in the sand while they are stalked by lions. Whether these are lions or bears or aliens it doesn't matter. If we want to survive as humans we have to be ready for anything just like our ancestors were in the wild west of the 1800's here in America.
Feeling safe is always an option. However, actually being safe might not have ever been a real option since there have been humans on earth. To deny that life is dangerous is to just be another ostrich with your head in the sand. Life has always been dangerous and always will be. Denying this basic fact only leads to all our premature deaths.
Nuclear Jihad?

I was reading this commentary about a potential nuclear jihad so I just looked as a psychic at the situation in Pakistan today. What I saw is that there is a potential for an Osama theft and use of a nuclear bomb of approximately 100 times what it was one week ago. I can see that Osama's people are looking for an opportunity to capture a nuclear device now and are close to it. They plan to blow up government headquarters in Islamabad or Kabul to throw the world into turmoil and to bring down Pakistan's democracy or Kabul's. It might be necessary for all governments to be more aware the next 2 months in regard to this problem.

Galactic Sentient Being
Galactic Sentient Being. For this article to make any sense at all it might be useful to read: The Real UFO Experiences,and also Former Pilots and officials call for new US UFO Probe. Otherwise if you didn't read those articles first then this one might not make any sense at all. However, to each his own.
In my last article I spoke of how I was sort of tricked into meeting the Galactic Sentient Leader who said to my friends from 7028 the he wanted to see me. I now believe the reason I survived this encounter is that somewhere in my past life memories I remembered this being. It would be like something that happened to you after you were first born. Like that. And then something triggers that memory and you find you can cope after all.
The other thing that allowed me to cope with this was that other teachers from earth(Gurus) had also mentioned that I would one day meet such a being and then become permanent. At the time I didn't really understand what this meant. However, now, I can best understand it in relation to the Vajrayana which speaks of such things. One becomes "Diamond or Permanent through ones vows to life. I suppose a good analogy would be honoring marriage vows or honoring priestly vows or honoring ahimsa vows of not killing anything except in self defense. So to become permanent one becomes "not transitory" one becomes "diamond" therefore one honors ones commitments to life and therefore becomes permanent. Both Jesus and Buddha are examples of two beings who became permanent through the honoring of their commitments to all life and by their 24 hour a day actions of compassion to all beings and for all beings.
Another thing that teachers spoke about was all the Buddhas and Bodhisatvas of the Ten directions and three times. At first this just sounded sort of like science fiction to me until I started piecing together what was actually being said. First Buddha spoke of thousands of planets or more and almost unlimited people and beings on these planets. So this either meant to me that Buddha had been a soul traveler like me and had actually seen a lot of these places like me or that he had had encounters with off world civilizations as they also tend to honor compassionate commitment beings who live truthfully and compassionately as much as is survivable in any situation.
Many off worlders (beings not born on earth) also tend to be both mentally and spiritually gifted, especially those that have the courage to travel the galaxies.
Also, The Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas of the Ten directions and the three times are all beings in the universe in our past, present or future that are compassionate and wise and are able to manifest their compassion in any space or time because of their understanding and attainment. I was accepted into this group alignment consciously in my thirties. At first I was terrified of the change for about a day or two and then I realized that I would never have any real reason to fear anything ever again. For the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Ten Directions and the three times are all the Buddhas, Christs, Angels and compassionate wise beings that have ever lived or live now or will ever live on earth or anywhere else in the Universe because once one experiences fully that time and space are temporary and that Compassion, Wisdom and Being are all there really is then if one experiences this 24 hours a day one is there!

Former Pilots and Officials Call for New US UFO Probe
Former Pilots and Officials Call for New U.S. UFO Probe

Now is the time for all people who have seen or been contacted by UFO's in the last Century who are still alive to speak and write of their experiences so the whole world gets a clearer picture of what is really going on and not just 1st world propaganda to control information for (whose?) benefit.
In the interest of the ongoing survival of mankind I am sharing some of my experiences here.
It was 1974 in May or June. I was newly married and had moved to Mt. Shasta. I went to Bunny Flats for a hike as the mountain had been a very spiritual place and retreat for my family since before World War II and before I was born. There was a lot of snow that year and there was still at least 7 feet to 12 feet in drifts at Bunny Flats and above. I walked about 1 or 2 miles straight up through Bunny Flats and up through the Canyon. There was a crust on the snow so my boots didn't sink in past 6 to 8 inches so I could walk through the deep snow without sinking up to my knees every step.
On my way back down I noticed something strange that hadn't been there before when I walked up. There was a 25 to 30 foot diameter dish or bowl shaped hole in the snow. At first I thought a snowmobiler had just driven in a circle until he had made this shape but when I drew closer there were no snowmobile tracks within 100 yards of this shape. Next, I noticed something else strange. There was a green slime that looked like if one took antifreeze with thousands of droplets of black algae in it and sprayed it with a sprayer only on the topmost edge of the perfect bowl circle 25 to 30 feet in diameter. Next, there were three hemisphere set in a triangle in the perfect base of the bowl in the snow. It was as if one had a sphere 3 feet in diameter and pushed it into the snow three times leaving a perfect triangle of hemispheres in the snow. I stood there a long time trying to find an explanation that would fit. First, I searched for human tracks and found that my tracks were the only ones there. So at this point the only way this could have been made is if a helicopter carrying a template of this shape on a chain had dropped it from about 50 feet to make this perfect impact. Then someone would have had to spray the green and black slime in a perfect circle about 12 to 18 inches from the top of the bowl level with the ground. Since in the overcast conditions I was in this was very very unlikely I had to assume that a UFO had landed sometime between when I walked up the mountain and when I walked down. So I went down to town and got my wife and baby and a friend and drove them up and showed them what I had found. All were completely amazed and came to the same conclusion as I did. That the most likely thing that had happened was a ufo landing. We decided not to report what we had found as the government might think we were contactees and at that time such people were often disapeared by the government and were never heard from again.
But that wasn't the only experience I had. Next in the summer of 1992, I believe I was living in Mt. Shasta again. I was washing dishes in the kitchen of my home when I heard more than one double bladed helicopters blades breaking the sound barrier so I walked outside to see what all the noise was about. 3 double bladed military type helicopters like those used for hauling troops in Viet Nam were in a formation traveling overhead. As I watched them they suddenly stopped in midair and held formation. Then I noticed that traveling with them was the identical shape of what I had seen in 1974 in perfect formation with the three helicopters. I was so amazed at this whole thing that I tried not to blink at such a sight on a clear summer day with no clouds. As I watched the ufo and helicopters the ufo soundlessly suddenly disappeared. Now I really was
amazed even if I hadn't been before. As I stood there dumbfounded the three unmarked military grey helicopters flew off in the direction of Nevada and possibly Area 51. I watched them until they went out of sight in the direction of McCloud and Highway 89.
However, still this isn't the end of my story. There is something associated with UFO's that is called veiled memories. In other words memories associated with these experiences that had been technologically covered up revealed themseves I believe it was around June 2000 around the time of the year of my first experience in 1974 as if some part of my mind had unlocked. Here I'm recounting some of these memories.
"As I first walked up from my car I saw something in the clouds flashing. I thought it must be a rescue helicopter because this sort of thing happens on Mt. Shasta when climbers are rescued from time to time. However, the lighting was all wrong and there was no thumping helicopter sounds so I began to be afraid knowing something really strange might be happening. I felt both scared and amazed like only a child usually feels when the experience something completely new."
"When the thing landed snow flew in all directions the way a helicopter would when landing on snow if some were loose on top. I felt like a moth to a flame. I couldn't walk away so I walked up to it. My next experience was as if I was inside the ship but that wasn't logical because I was to big to stand up inside it. The next experience was that I was in some other place but it was different. There was a lot of green and purple on the land. There were trees but the air looked different. Instead of blue sky it was sort of violet or purple. I felt unsure and confused. Next, two humanoid figures under 6 feet 2 inches tall came up to me and started talking. This is what they said to me. "We are your parents reborn in the future. We have come from the year 7028 to help prevent a war on earth. You are going to help us." I said something like, "What are you talking about!" This was so unexpected that I was completely unprepared for this. They also asked me if I was going to hurt them. I told them that they had control of my mind and I was unable to harm them. It was like being a robot for a moment as I didn't have control of what I said to them about not harming them.
They then in 1974 put thoughts in my mind that made me scream of a war they wanted to prevent. I started to get hysterical because it wasn't just thoughts, I was experiencing the full horror of people dying in the way we did watching 9-11 on television only I had no way to filter the emotions or information. I wasn't allowed that. Since then this war has been prevented. If it had happened only parts of Europe were still inhabitable on earth without raditation poisoning. I believe on the other timeline the war happened sometime after 9-11 during the confusion of who was responsible. However, on this timeline the war didn't happen.
These unveiled memories allowed me to physically see these two beings, a man and a woman. They didn't have noses like we do. I realize now that noses eventually change from living indoors because noses were a biological adaptation to shed rain and if you aren't always out in the rain they become unnecessary in an evolutionary way.
The other thing that was odd about them was the way they laughed that sounded sort of like dolphins because they didn't have noses for resonation. When I first heard them laugh I thought they were choking. However, now I believe they were just nervous laughing the way people do in our era when in an unfamiliar area with different experiences. I now fully believe they were from the future. I cannot prove that they were or are reincarnations of my parents but since I had no one to protect me I let them believe that I believed they were as they said. I didn't really feel I had a lot of choices at that point.
They told me that the reason they had come to me was that I was a pivotal ancestor of theirs and that in addition to me helping them prevent this war they wanted to welcome me back into my family of descendants. I didn't always know how to respond to all this.
I had already been psychically gifted since birth so one of the things was that I have a sense of people telling the truth. I knew that they were like most humans in that what they said mainly resembled the truth. I also knew that there were things they weren't telling me which is also true of most humans. I felt they weren't going to kill or harm me so I was as open as I could be in creating my survival as well as the survival of all humans of my time and time line.
At one point the two started arguing. I asked what this was about because I was a little scared when they argued in front of me almost like parents. The male finally said, "We are trying to figure out if we can allow you to remember this." I said to him, "You should take away this memory until I'm old. I don't know if I can deal with this and all the other things that have happened in my life the last 5 years right now." The male looked "into" me and said, "You are very wise and mature for your age." I just said, "Thanks." I knew remembering all this right then could harm my life then as I was newly married and had a son and wanted to feel safe in raising my family. I was only 26.
The second experience in 1992 was different. This time when the US helicopters and the ufo came the same two humanoid beings came and said, "We need you to meet a great Galactic Leader." I said, "I'm no one on earth in this lifetime. I'm just an average citizen. I don't understand." They said, "It is not about who you are now. It is about who your soul is through multiple lifetimes. This leader considers you to be a relative of his." I knew there was something they weren't telling me and whatever it was scared me. They led me to a room and opened the door. (I don't know what was real at least in the sense of what you and I consider to be real. This could have been some kind of holographic setup like people here envision for the future).
As I walked through this door I saw a bright light. This bright light came toward me and I reached out my hand to shake hands in an earth greeting but then the bright light enveloped me and I passed out from sensory overload.
I remember asking this being, "Why did you eat me?" The Being said, "I didn't eat you. I just wanted to experience all your experiences in this lifetime since conception and birth." I said, "You did all that in a few moments?" The being said, "Yes! That is something my species is capable of." I said, "What are you?" This being said, "My species creates, builds and maintains galaxies." I said, "Are you a God?" At this, the being laughed and said, "I don't consider myself to be a God. However, many species in this and other Galaxies consider our species to be gods something like in the Greek Pantheon." I said, "Oh!" I felt I was so completely out of my league that I began to faint at this point. A chair seemed to appear out of nowhere for me to sit down.
Soon after this I think the being realized if he pursued this line of communication any longer I might start going into shock so he said we would talk another time.
When I went back to the male and female humanoids they said, "Are you ok?" I said, "I'm alive. I think I'll be ok." They seemed to laugh at my statement then the male said, "Many people don't survive in the presence of a Galactic Sentient Being like that." I said, "Oh!" I thought about this a moment and said, "That wasn't very nice not preparing me for that." He said, "We weren't given a choice regarding this." I said, "Oh." Soon after this experience I was watching the three helicopters and the UFO and then the UFO vanished.
After thinking about this for about 2 or 3 years I came to the conclusion that the UFO disappearing was a combination of both time and space travel.
I have had 33 years or more since my first experience and have had time to subliminally adjust somewhat to all the traumas and new information. However, this is the first time, likely, that you have been exposed to this information so I think I will be kind and just let you adjust to it for now.

This being said, "My species creates, builds and maintains galaxies." I said, "Are you a God?" At this, the being laughed and said, "I don't consider myself to be a God. However, many species in this and other Galaxies consider our species to be gods something like in the Greek Pantheon." I said, "Oh!" I felt I was so completely out of my league that I began to faint at this point. A chair seemed to appear out of nowhere for me to sit down.
Soon after this I think the being realized if he pursued this line of communication any longer I might start going into shock so he said we would talk another time.
When I went back to the male and female humanoids they said, "Are you ok?" I said, "I'm alive. I think I'll be ok." They seemed to laugh at my statement then the male said, "Many people don't survive in the presence of a Galactic Sentient Being like that." I said, "Oh!" I thought about this a moment and said, "That wasn't very nice not preparing me for that." He said, "We weren't given a choice regarding this." I said, "Oh." Soon after this experience I was watching the three helicopters and the UFO and then the UFO vanished.
After thinking about this for about 2 or 3 years I came to the conclusion that the UFO disappearing was a combination of both time and space travel.
I have had 33 years or more since my first experience and have had time to subliminally adjust somewhat to all the traumas and new information. However, this is the first time, likely, that you have been exposed to this information so I think I will be kind and just let you adjust to it for now.

The Real UFO experiences
The Real UFO Experiences. In my first college philosophy course I learned this: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one witnesses it did it really happen? The philosphic answer is of course: NO!
Following this same logic let us now move to Captain Cook as he landed on Hawaii with his white men the first time. The average Hawaiian could not upon pain of death recognize that Captain Cook, his ships or his men were real. The first reason is that having white skin they were ghosts and the province of the Kahunas, the Hawaiian medicine men with supernatural gifts.
Now let us move the United States and Earth. Most UFO sitings have been explained away as swamp gas and all those who were brave enough to tell the truth have had their lives and finances ruined. Some have been killed like our first Secretary of Defense Forrestal rather than let him share his experiences.
However, the best way I can explain these things is that IF our Government recognized UFO's and recognized the many other civilizations that have not only been visiting earth for millions of years but allowed the average persons REAL UFO experiences to be validated it is also quite likely that many people would panic and die in the ensuing changes and it is also likely our main philosophical, religious and financial networks would collapse within a short period of time. In order to avoid a psychological and physical collapse of society the United States and other 1st world nations have decided for us to keep us in the dark indefinitely.
One of the reasons for this is the primary mode of travel of these civilizations alters both time and space to get here. So there are visitors are from other planets but most are from our own future here on earth. Also, there are time traveling battles conducted from our future to protect physical and financial lineages of descendants and to keep those lineages unbroken on into the future. I, luckily have no proof of these things or I would be already dead along with anyone who actually does (did) have proof of what I am talking about.
I am only writing about this because I feel strongly that all humans have a right to at least know that time alteration is going on and has been conducted by 1st world nations since at least the 1930's. However, it is much easier for all 1st world nations if the average person doesn't know about it. However, I believe that if at least the intelligentsia of earth aren't aware that this is going on then who protects the average person's rights on Earth?

For the Philanthropists:the xo computer
For the Philanthropists:the xo computer. From November 12th to November 26th 2007 you can donate a laptop to a child in a third world country and get one also for $399 plus any tax or shipping. The xo laptop computer has been developed to get a good online education to as many third world children as possible through your donations now.
http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/index/php
Since one of my hobbies since I was 18 is electronic software and hardware of all kinds so I looked into this ones capabilities. It can be dropped from 10 feet and survive. It can work in 140 degrees farenheit. It can work with a hand crank or foot pedal as a power source. I have also heard it can be operated from a solar panel. It is an open source linux based flash drive based computer so it is also open sourced and can be programmed by the children to create other open source programming. Two good open source programs you may already use are Firefox and Wikipedia that are developed by people all around the world basically without pay and just for the good it does for all peoples.
It is capable of transmitting signals up to 1 1/2 miles to another xo computer and run in a series of signals through other xo's all the way back into the nearest city where hotspots may exist and connect to these hotspots through all the intermediary computers. The primary reason it was developed is to give children around the world in third world countries a leg up so to speak.

Sufis clash with Iranian Troops
Sufis Clash with Iranian Troops. If interested please read yahoo article at site listen below.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071111/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_religious_clash

To understand just how serious this is in American Terms it would be like Protestants and Catholics killing Unitarians and Unity and Church of Religious Science members and then having the police come in and burn the Unitarian, Church of Religious Science and Unity church world headquarters down and then saying these people couldn't have a church anymore or practice their religion. I think this is a very very bad sign in terms of Fundamentalist Shia Paranoia in Iran.
Also, there are a lot of famous Sufis in the western world like Richard Burton, Elizabeth's Taylor's husband before he passed on for one.
If you don't understand the mystic's perspective it is one of constant personal divine revelation. The fundamentalist Shia leaders in Iran would consider Sufis a block to mentally controlling and enslaving enough Iranians for what they have planned. This, for me, is the scariest sign of things to come for me regarding Iran.
Also, mystics, whether they be Christian, Sufi, Hindu or whatever are just about the least likely to be violent of all religious people simply because a part of being a mystic is respecting divinity in each individual. For me, the most mystical statement is in Hindi which is "Namaste" phonetically pronounced naw-ma-stay which means: "I bow to the God within you!"
Since, a mystics point of view is recognizing the divinity not only within themselves but in all living beings everywhere, the last thing a mystic would be interested in would be killing God in the form of any other being. Yes, self defense is allowed by most mystics but organized mayhem goes against the grain of all mystics no matter the religion they are based in.
I think this is a bad sign because I see no reason at all for the Iranian government to do this to the Sufis unless they plan to declare martial law and to fight the western world to the death which the western world appears to think is only one of two alternatives. The other alternative appears to be a Soviet style detente between the Iranians and the Western World.
Iran is starting to remind me a little of the Third Reich in relation to freedom of religion. I'm not saying Amadinajad is Hitler, I'm saying what is happening in Iran is becoming so paranoid by the extremists in control that the average person is losing his basic freedoms there in a big way that the next step would be for a draft of all eligible Iranian men and women into the army who are young enough and strong enough. I would watch carefully over the next few months for this.

Dreams
Dreams. I had an interesting dream last night. I used to live in Hawaii on both the Big Island and Maui. In my dream I was running along the road to save a large group of people. The people around me realized that I was empowered and could help. So they shouted words of encouragement for me to be quick so everyone stayed alive and didn't get harmed. At one point I ran up over the top of a car that was metallic violet. Everyone seemed to understand how important this was. When I got to the place that needed the healing it was in a house. There I met my girlfriend who was kind and looked a little like me and was slim and tall like I was in my 20's and 30's and before. She hugged me and then I put up my hands and went to work. At one point golden light poured out of my hands so powerfully that I had to stand on my open hands in the air about 3 feet off the ground the golden light poured out so powerfully. Whatever the problem was it became healed and I felt at peace. All the people in the house and around it seemed happy and at peace and grateful that a healing had occurred. I gave thanks to God for being his instrument as I always do.
It was a lucid dream insofar as I had volition to do what needed to be done and the presence of mind to do it. However, at the time I didn't know it to be a dream just like most people don't realize that living on earth in some ways is like a lifetime dream.
If you have dreams where you are flying this indicates that you are psychically gifted and developing. If you can go where you wish while you are flying then you might be a candidate for soul travel if you have a good enough reason to choose to soul travel. However, deciding to soul travel is not a fluke to be taken lightly. It is very much like the responsibility of getting a driver's license and being a responsible driver. Just like when you drive a car if you aren't responsible either you or others can die. So responsibility and adult thinking is necessary for soul traveling.

Our 500 Year American Gun Culture
Our 500 Year American Gun Culture. I got sort of carried away with all this as I reread what I have written so at the very least I need to give some of the history of what I'm talking about.
First of all guns came to America with the first English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and other colonists starting during the 1500 and all the way back to 1492 if you include Columbus. Back then, walking around without some kind of useful weapon would have been suicide because if it weren't the bears and other animals it was the natives who had a different cultural point of view and believe me psychology wasn't really invented yet although diplomacy was but only for the very educated and wise. So the common man was left to his family if he had one and his weapon or weapons.
I don't know about you but even raccoons, porcupines and skunks can be a problem if you don't have a weapon in some situations. Raccoons can be problematic if there are a lot of them there (a big related family of raccoons) or just one porcupine or skunk can ruin you or your dogs whole day, week or life. You may not realize how many animals die after contact with skunks or porcupines. If I run into a porcupine in the forest as long as it is daylight I don't worry about it unless one accidentally steps on one. They usually aren't a problem for people. Skunks can be difficult for both people and children however, no matter what time of day it is. Tomato juice is the only thing I know that will take away the smell and stop the children or adults throwing up from the toxins from being sprayed in the face. Eyes especially should be protected.
Also, about 3 years ago I lost one of my dogs to a raccoon. She was a jack russel corgi mix and her jack russell terrior side just wasn't going to give our trash can to a big raccoon. We found her with blood in her mouth but also a bad bite in her chest. She died of kidney failure a week later. If we had been there she wouldn't have been outside at night where we live as there are not only raccoons but mountain lions and skunks where we live. I don't think porcupines live around here though. A few years ago a bear came into town as well because of low water and lack of food.
So anyway, in the 1500's the English and all the others came to the northern East Coast of what is now the United States and brought their guns. People at that time knew quite well that without a gun people weren't going to survive at all. It's just that today people have gone to theory over reality. I think that is the biggest problem not enough reality for people living in big cities. At least the kind of reality that makes one practical living anywhere on earth.
I think if you asked soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan whether Americans should have guns they might just laugh at you. After what they all have been through there would be no doubt at all of the necessity of obtaining a weapon to protect oneself and ones family because of what is going on in the world and will continue to go on in the world no matter what Americans do.
At this point I'd like to share my families history. My father's side came to the United States from Switzerland and Germany between 1720 and 1730. Many families sailed into Philadelphia Harbor and then settled in Pennsylvania, then Ohio, Kansas, Illinois and eventually all the states. Most of my relatives are from Washington, Oregon and California now.
My Grandfather who passed away in 1970 was born about 1888 like one of my grandmothers. His father fought in the Civil War. My grandfather married a woman from Texas who was related to General Bullard of the Confederacy even though his father was a captain in the Union Army during the Civil War. By the early 1900's most people at least in the north had forgotten the Civil War pretty much. My grandfather had upwards of 20 or more hound dogs when my Dad was a boy and he and his brothers had to take care of them. They were only for hunting which my grandfather did whenever he wasn't working. It was his favorite thing to do. My grandfather sometimes spent winters in the Sawtooth mountains with his trap lines because he found it hard to winter with his wife and 5 kids. Most of the time he was an electrical Contractor and travelled until my Dad was 15 throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, and Texas wherever he could find long term Electrical building contracts. When Dad was 15 he bought a house in Lake Forest Park Washington.
My father was given a 22 rifle when he was 6. His brother Tommy was 4 and was given a 22 pistol and his older brother was about 8 or 9 with a small shotgun. The parents sent them out alone in Coos Bay, Oregon to get quail but because they were so young they brought back robins. Their mother dutifully cooked the robins but Dad said there wasn't enough meat really to even consider eating a robin. They spent most of their time spitting out the shotgun pellets he said.
For my grandfathers family for almost three hundred years this was the right age to train kids to hunt and shoot. You trained the oldest kid and then gave him the responsibility of training the rest. His life depended not only on training them but having the younger kids respecting him so the guns wouldn't be turned on him. This was just how it was for hundreds of years of American culture in the Country. In this way loyalty to family was indoctrinated early.
When it came time my grandmother waited until I was 8 to give me my Dad's 22 rifle he had hunted with as a boy. Though I might have wanted a new one. Somehow getting my Dad's boyhood rifle was even better. It was one more way to tie myself to my Dad and his life. This meant a lot to me then and now. Though I never hunted for food because my Dad had raised me a vegetarian for health reasons, he taught me to shoot and hunt jackrabbits in the desert along with my cousins and my boyhood friends. So saturdays we were often out in the desert 100 miles from home shooting at jackrabbits and learning to shoot things on the run accurately. By the time I was 12 I thought shooting something I wasn't going to eat was a fairly wrong thing to do and I stopped shooting anything living, although I probably could hit with any good rifle anything larger than a rat at 100 yards if it stayed still long enough.
This gun culture was part of what kept America alive and part of what still makes America great. It is very easy to put down the gun culture. But without it we could easily look like the old Soviet Union within about 5 or 10 years if all our weapons were taken away.
Politically I call myself a moderate. What that means in actuality is that I have conservative views on some issues and liberal ones on others. My most conservative view comes directly down from the founding fathers and is the main reason we don't speak England English, German, Japanese or Spanish here in America as the primary laguage. Americans have always been allowed to own rifles and pistols. The primary reason is that we need them in case we get a dictator who won't step down as president and then we would need them to overthrow that government if possible. The other reason we need them is so citizen militias can police our borders like we always have to protect what our ancestors fought and died for these last 500 years. One of the main reasons America works is that its citizens have weapons and aren't afraid to use them in any emergency.
Now I know people who live in big cities might be horrified by this way of thinking. However, even you must realize if you are practical that the world is a very unfriendly place and there is in the end no one but God that anyone can actually put their trust in. So therefore since this is absolutely true in the end the only one that can protect each one of us is us both individually
and collectively.
For those of you having a problem with what I'm saying and since my most conservative view is that every American should own at least one gun to protect themselves, their home and their country I should also tell you my most liberal view. My most liberal view is that everyone on earth should have food, clothing and shelter even if it is a tent. I think all the rich nations should be ashamed if they can't make this happen. Actually doing this would prevent most terrorism and violence now on earth. So let's please make this last idea happen soon. If my most liberal view actually took place then there might be less need for everyone in the United States to own a weapon.
I look at countries like Britain in which longer ago most people weren't allowed guns. Then 150 years of IRA and British stiff upper lip and now Islamic terrorism and Britain is now turning into a police state with TV cameras on every corner watching citizens every move. Unfortunately, it looks more and more like this sort of thinking is coming to America too. I'm very sad to see this as the American Spirit is best maintained by everyone protecting themselves. I would much rather see citizens wearing holsters and pistols down the street as in several Texas towns than to witness America become just another absurd police state. Because my view of a police state is when people have given up the idea of protecting themselves. No police force will be there when your house is being broken into. No police force will be there when you or your family are being raped or beaten in front of you. Your best hope is a knife, sword or loaded gun somewhere people who are harming you don't know of. That is the sad and true reality of life!!!
People who actually believe otherwise are at best deluded! At the worst they are living in a fairy tale. I meet people like this all the time and wonder where their actual experience of life went or if they just went to private school and never had a real experience of their lives being threatened ever! By the time I was 10 years old two different boys had tried to kill me with a knife. One boy tricked me into watching he and his friend playing mublypeg (throwing jacknives into the ground as a game played for hundreds of years) This took place in 1957. Then he took the knife and put the sharp edge to my throat and laughed as I squirmed to get away. As the blood from where the knife met my neck dripped down onto my shirt I finally calmed down because I was in the end intelligent enough not to die right there. Then he said, "I'm going to cut your head off!" I looked into this boys eyes and realized he was crazy enough to actually do this. I realized I might have enough intelligence to survive this. After about 1/2 hour or more they let me go. I went home and loaded my gun, a Remington 17 shot pump action rifle to end that boys life for what he had done to me. However, because I was always very intelligent I called my friend on the phone first. He said, "Don't go shoot that guy and his friend. They'll be in jail soon. They are juvenile delinquents. Let someone else kill them, Fred. You and I have a good future coming. They don't!" I realized my friend was right. These guys would be very lucky if they lived to age 15 or even 20 the way they were acting. All I had to do to have a good life was to avoid them at least until someone else killed them!
I had at least two experiences like this. The main thing it taught me is you can't really trust anyone. The second person was a second cousin that did this. Later, after his mother killed herself, he killed himself too. People like these are excellent arguments for abortion. When kids aren't wanted they are abused and beaten until they are crazy and a danger to both themselves and society.
My Mother and Grandmother wanted me and my father had to get used to the idea. However, after I was 10 or 12 my Dad and I were best friends.
First of all guns came to America with the first English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and other colonists starting during the 1500 and all the way back to 1492 if you include Columbus.

By the time I was 12 I thought shooting something I wasn't going to eat was a fairly wrong thing to do and I stopped shooting anything living, although I probably could hit with any good rifle anything larger than a rat at 100 yards if it stayed still long enough.
This gun culture was part of what kept America alive and part of what still makes America great. It is very easy to put down the gun culture. But without it we could easily look like the old Soviet Union within about 5 or 10 years if all our weapons were taken away.
Politically I call myself a moderate. What that means in actuality is that I have conservative views on some issues and liberal ones on others. My most conservative view comes directly down from the founding fathers and is the main reason we don't speak England English, German, Japanese or Spanish here in America as the primary laguage. Americans have always been allowed to own rifles and pistols. The primary reason is that we need them in case we get a dictator who won't step down as president and then we would need them to overthrow that government if possible. The other reason we need them is so citizen militias can police our borders like we always have to protect what our ancestors fought and died for these last 500 years. One of the main reasons America works is that its citizens have weapons and aren't afraid to use them in any emergency.
Now I know people who live in big cities might be horrified by this way of thinking. However, even you must realize if you are practical that the world is a very unfriendly place and there is in the end no one but God that anyone can actually put their trust in. So therefore since this is absolutely true in the end the only one that can protect each one of us is us both individually
and collectively.
For those of you having a problem with what I'm saying and since my most conservative view is that every American should own at least one gun to protect themselves, their home and their country I should also tell you my most liberal view. My most liberal view is that everyone on earth should have food, clothing and shelter even if it is a tent. I think all the rich nations should be ashamed if they can't make this happen. Actually doing this would prevent most terrorism and violence now on earth. So let's please make this last idea happen soon. If my most liberal view actually took place then there might be less need for everyone in the United States to own a weapon.
I look at countries like Britain in which longer ago most people weren't allowed guns. Then 150 years of IRA and British stiff upper lip and now Islamic terrorism and Britain is now turning into a police state with TV cameras on every corner watching citizens every move. Unfortunately, it looks more and more like this sort of thinking is coming to America too. I'm very sad to see this as the American Spirit is best maintained by everyone protecting themselves. I would much rather see citizens wearing holsters and pistols down the street as in several Texas towns than to witness America become just another absurd police state. Because my view of a police state is when people have given up the idea of protecting themselves. No police force will be there when your house is being broken into. No police force will be there when you or your family are being raped or beaten in front of you. Your best hope is a knife, sword or loaded gun somewhere people who are harming you don't know of. That is the sad and true reality of life!!!
People who actually believe otherwise are at best deluded! At the worst they are living in a fairy tale. I meet people like this all the time and wonder where their actual experience of life went or if they just went to private school and never had a real experience of their lives being threatened ever! By the time I was 10 years old two different boys had tried to kill me with a knife. One boy tricked me into watching he and his friend playing mublypeg (throwing jacknives into the ground as a game played for hundreds of years) This took place in 1957. Then he took the knife and put the sharp edge to my throat and laughed as I squirmed to get away. As the blood from where the knife met my neck dripped down onto my shirt I finally calmed down because I was in the end intelligent enough not to die right there. Then he said, "I'm going to cut your head off!" I looked into this boys eyes and realized he was crazy enough to actually do this. I realized I might have enough intelligence to survive this. After about 1/2 hour or more they let me go. I went home and loaded my gun, a Remington 17 shot pump action rifle to end that boys life for what he had done to me. However, because I was always very intelligent I called my friend on the phone first. He said, "Don't go shoot that guy and his friend. They'll be in jail soon. They are juvenile delinquents. Let someone else kill them, Fred. You and I have a good future coming. They don't!" I realized my friend was right. These guys would be very lucky if they lived to age 15 or even 20 the way they were acting. All I had to do to have a good life was to avoid them at least until someone else killed them!
I had at least two experiences like this. The main thing it taught me is you can't really trust anyone. The second person was a second cousin that did this. Later, after his mother killed herself, he killed himself too. People like these are excellent arguments for abortion. When kids aren't wanted they are abused and beaten until they are crazy and a danger to both themselves and society.
My Mother and Grandmother wanted me and my father had to get used to the idea. However, after I was 10 or 12 my Dad and I were best friends.
