Megson warns clubs off summer bids for Cahill
Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson has insisted it will take a huge transfer fee to lure Gary Cahill away from the club.
The central defender, a £5m signing from Aston Villa in January 2008, has won many plaudits for his performances at the Reebok Stadium and has been tipped by some to win full England honours.
The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to clubs higher up in the Premier League table, most notably Arsenal, but it is suggested that Megson will not accept less than £20m for a player he believes to be one of the most promising in the country.
"Gary is under contract and we are currently in the process of negotiating a new, improved deal for him," said Megson.
"He's the best young centre-half in the country by an absolute street and I've been delighted with him again this year.
"I want to build the team around him for the next few seasons.
"I can understand why the big clubs are interested in Gary, but it's going to take an offer over and above what we received for Nicolas Anelka from Chelsea."
Anelka joined Chelsea for £15m, also in January 2008.

Chairman Roslyn Brock and Michael Eric Dyson speak at A Virginia Rally to honor Four Little Girls
This past Saturday, NAACP held a voter registration drive and rally in Alexandria, Virginia in partnership with Alfred Street Baptist Church and the Northern Virginia Coalition of Black Civic Participation. Church members nationwide have pledged to register 16 voters to honor the memory of the four little girls who were killed on September 15, 1963 when the 16th Street Baptist Church was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan. The registration drive focuses on vulnerable voting populations such as people of color, low-income communities and senior citizens.
During the event, NAACP Chairman Roslyn Brock and Dr. Michael Eric Dyson delivered remarks and reminded the crowd about the importance of making sure that everyone in their life – mothers, husbands, wives, neighbors, friends—are registered to vote this election season so that our voices will be heard at the polls this November. Their words inspired volunteers to keep fighting the good fight and to keep working on educating voters on protecting their right to vote.
Chairman Brock made a call out to parishioners who wish to continue to stay civically engaged—she asked that they text VOTE to 62227 to receive vital information about voting rights from the NAACP.

Spring Lake Park School District 16 plans to ask for an increase in student lunch prices for the next school year.
Business manager Amy Schultz during a discussion item on nutrition services lunch pricing at a May 28 board work session said the proposal to hike lunch prices by 10 cents will go before the board for a vote at its next meeting.
District lunch prices were last increased by 15 cents in the 2008-09 school year.
As of last year, school food authorities participating in the National School Lunch Program are required "to ensure sufficient funds are provided to the nonprofit school food service account for lunches served to students not certified eligible for free or reduced price meals," according to language from the NSL's Program: School Food Service Account Revenue Amendments Related to the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.
The increase would "ensure we bring in enough revenue from our paid lunches to support expenses related to those lunches, without using federal funds intended to reimburse the district for free or reduced lunches to support paid lunches," Schultz said in an email.
The change would mean an increase in District 16's elementary school lunch prices from $2.25 to $2.35. High school lunches would increase from $2.45 to $2.55.
In determining costs, District 16 looked at neighboring districts and found Anoka-Hennepin School District lunches are from 15 cents to 20 cents less than District 16's, but AHSD is proposing an increase for next year, Schultz said. Centennial School District now charges 15 cents more than District 16, she said.
Demographically speaking, North St. Paul, Bloomington and St. Louis Park school districts now charge more than District 16's meal prices, Schultz said.
St. Louis Park charges $2.50 for an elementary lunch and $2.75 for a high school lunch; Bloomington Schools charge $2.45 and $2.75 respectively, while North St. Paul School District charges $2.45 for its elementary lunches and $2.70 for its high school lunches, according to the schools' websites.
"With our increase, we would still be below each of those districts," Schults said in the email.
Schultz said that compared to neighboring and similar districts, District 16 is at the lower end of average for lunch prices, "so this will kind of keep us again at the lower end of average," she said about the proposed lunch increase.
The increase would bring about $31,000 into the district's food services fund, Schultz said.
The increase in revenue would go toward the payment of Chef Marshall O'Brien's healthy foods program. O'Brien began partnering with the district last year to improve its lunch program and to work with the nutrition staff to create new, tasty menu items.
The additional revenue would also help fund the district's move to making more from-scratch cooking and add a few additional food service staff hours for Park Terrace next year, Schultz said.
Next school year Park Terrace's student enrollment will increase with the transitioning of Woodcrest Elementary students to Park Terrace Elementary, to make way for a Spanish Immersion school at Woodcrest. Park Terrace is now undergoing construction, adding 10 classrooms to the school along with a cafeteria expansion.
The vote to increase school lunch prices is slated to come before the board at its June 11 regular school board meeting.

Satan's Counterfeit Matrix-PT18/Israel vs. Rome/Egypt/Atlantis
**Israel**is God's chosen land, a land that inhabited His chosen people. The people of Israel, or the Jewish people, are the most unusual and special people on the face of the earth today. This is clearly borne out in scripture. In Deuteronomy 7:6 we read: "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession." As we read on in the book of Deuteronomy, we discover something else about the Jews that is simply astounding: "When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel" (Deut. 32:8). In ways we cannot understand, the boundaries of all nations were determined by the number of Jews they would contain.
However, God doesn't just want to play favorites with people. He chose Israel for his own world-wide redemptive purposes. It was the eternal plan that his redeeming grace to the world would flow through Israel; that the Gospel of salvation would come to the whole world through them.
**Israel**is the ancient name of Saturn is EL, called Elites-Elect, Elder, Elevated, Temple, circle, Gospel, Apostle, Disciples, Evangelists. Also names of Angels, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Gabriel, etc. The plural term Elohim appears 2500 times in the Bible. Satan was a Elohim. Witches cast spELls,…The Elites run the world. The Elites come from IsraELites from Egypt worship of the moon (Isis) the sun (Ra) Saturn (Elohim), hence Is-Ra-EL Jews and Muslims worship a huge black box/cube called Kabba at Mecca. Their god is known as YHWH is the "Tetragramaton" meaning their 4-letter (4 sided) god, the "Kabballah" of Jewish mysticism. Masonry comes from Kabba-Allah or "Cubegod" around which other people gather and ceremonially walk in circles- "circling the square" and "squaring the circle". Example: Boxing match arena is fought in rounds in the ring in a 4 sided arena with corners. The Freemason G (Geometry/God) symbol within the compass and T-square symbols.
**Rome**is a place Satan has been working for centuries. Originally called "Saturnia" (City of Saturn), it claims to be the home of Roman Catholics worldwide. It's religious Pagan origins come from centuries of worshipping the sun as a god. Back to Rome, as a place of worship there are many signs of Paganism. The Vatican means "place of divinations" or "place of the sorcerers"!!! Unbelievable! The Popes are to numerous to mention but most had evil intentions. At the Council of Nicea, leaders from world over of all religions agreed to unify. Thus, the Statue of Peter was originally "Jupiter of Rome" and phony bones of Peter installed in the Vatican. During the council, the names Jesus and Christ were put together for the first time! Jesus represented Hesus of the Druids, and Joshua/Jesus of the Israelites, Horus/Iesios of the Egyptians and IES/Iesios of the Dionysians/Samothracians and Christ representing the Krishna/Christos of India and the Anointed of the Jews and KRST of Egypt among others. Rome has the Roman Catholic Church to hide it's demonic hideous sins. The Vatican has so many past sins that it must be part of the Holy deception that's occurring. To many facts have come out and continue to come out against the religious sect. Millions have died in their hands. I have countless pages of research on the RCC.
**Atlantis**was a large island in the Atlantic Ocean which lay in front of the mouth of the pillars of Hercules (straits of Gibraltar). Their inhabitants became a spiritually ugly race and for that reason Zeus and the God tries to destroyed them by letting the island be swallowed up by the sea. Atlantis was ruled by a confederation of 10 kings and its power extended over Libya as far as Egypt and over Europe as far as Tuscany. About 8000 years before the Trojan War, Atlantis attempted to conquer the whole of the Mediterranean world but was defeated by the Athens of those remote times and its allies. Later, when God perceived that Atlantis was inhabited by an evil race, He let the island be destroyed by the third of the floods which preceded the Flood in the time of Deucalion/Deluge.
The first ten kings of Atlantis (five pairs of twins) were all sons of Poseidon and Cleito. The first born was Atlas, who was appointed to be king over the rest and after whom the island was called. The legend of Atlantis is not connected to other myths except for the names of Atlas and Poseidon. According to Plato's account it was Solon, the Athenian statesman and poet whom History says lived 600 years after the Trojan War, the one who brought from Egypt the story of Atlantis. The very old Egyptian priest who talked with Solon was not at all impressed by Greek ancient stories, such as the one referring to Phoroneus as the first man, or the legend of the Flood of Deucalion/Deluge for these stories, according to his perspective were all but ancient. This Egyptian priest knew that mankind is periodically destroyed, either by fire or water, or by lesser means. And behind the story of Phaethon, the Egyptian says, lies the shifting of the celestial bodies around the earth, which cause destruction by fire on its surface at long intervals. When this happens those living in dry areas or dwelling in mountains suffer destruction more than those living near rivers or the sea. On the other hand, when the world is flooded those living in mountains are saved, but those populating the cities near the sea are swept into it by the streams. Things having this nature, those living by the Nile were spared when the world was destroyed by fire, and when it was destroyed by water they were also spared because rain is scarce in Egypt, the water welling up always from below. In this way, says the Egyptian priest, memories of ancient times could be preserved in this country while all records were destroyed elsewhere. And while in other countries the periodical destruction caused irreparable losses, in Egypt it was possible to keep records of very ancient times. This is the reason why, says the priest, the Greeks could just remember the Flood of Deucalion/Deluge ignoring that many other floods had previously occurred. And in the same way they had lost the memory of the Athens which existed 8000 years before the Trojan War (which is today said to have taken place about 1200 BC). According to this Egyptian priest, that old Athens resisted the invasion of the people from Atlantis, an island larger than Libya (name for the whole of northern Africa except Egypt) which lay in front of the mouth of the so called "pillars of Hercules" (today called "straits of Gibraltar").
The island Atlantis was ruled by a confederation of kings which held power also in surrounding islands. The people of Atlantis had occupied Libya as far as Egypt and southwestern Europe, as far as Tuscany in Italy. And after doing that they gathered a host in order to make an attempt to extend their dominion to both Egypt and Greece. However, this powerful army was defeated by the Athenians. At a later time, earthquakes and floods destroyed the two opponents, for Athens was swallowed up by the earth, and the island of Atlantis was likewise swallowed up by the sea, vanishing for ever. This is why, the Egyptian says, the ocean at the spot where Atlantis was, became impossible to sail across, being blocked up by the mud created by the large island when it sank. When the gods divided among themselves different regions of the earth, the island of Atlantis was allotted to Poseidon, who settled there the children he had begotten of a mortal woman. In the middle of the island there was a fertile plain, and in its center there stood a mountain where the autochthons (offspring of the soil) Evenor and Leucippe lived with their daughter Cleito. When they died, Poseidon married this young woman, and proceeded to alter the landscape, making the hill impregnable. And so he carved circular belts, three of sea and two of land around the hill, isolating it completely, for at that time sailing was unknown. He also brought up springs of warm and cold water, producing all kinds of food. Poseidon and Cleito had five pairs of twins, who, along with their descendants, ruled the ten provinces into which Poseidon had divided Atlantis. The island and the ocean were called after Poseidon's first-born, Atlas, who was also king over his brothers. The brothers and the descendants of their ten royal houses ruled over many other islands, and also over the Mediterranean peoples living west of Egypt and Tuscany. The ten kings, who governed each his own province, are said to have assembled every fifth year and every sixth year, administering the public affairs and delivering judgment according to the law that Poseidon handed down to them, and according to records inscribed in a pillar of orichalcum.
Atlantis was a flourishing realm. And yet, in spite of all the power deriving from wealth and advanced technologies, mighty fleets and large armies, Atlantis was defeated in war by the Athens of those remote times. Also, for all the knowledge the people of Atlantis had at their disposal, they were not able to prepare themselves against the natural catastrophe that affected them, nor could they avoid utter destruction. It has also been said that the people of Atlantis degenerated, for they were unable to live a happy life, having become spiritually ugly. For this reason, God, perceiving how evil this race had become, inflicted punishment upon them and let them be swallowed up by the sea. The Atlanteans were also called the Olympians. For the most part, the legend of Atlantis lay dormant for many centuries before its revival in the 19th century. The modern quest for the fabled island began in in 1882, with the publication of Atlantis: the Antediluvian World by Ignatius Donnelly, an American congressman and writer. Donnelly took Plato's account of Atlantis literally, and attempted to establish that all known ancient civilizations descended from the lost continent. Around the same time, Madame Helena Blavatsky (the cofounder of the Theosophical Society, and a leader of the growing occult movement) began to take an interest in the idea of lost continents such as Lemuria & Atlantis. Blavatsky mentions Atlantis numerous times in her first work Isis Unveiled, written in 1877. Madame Blavatsky massive opus The Secret Doctrine (1888), was apparently based on a mystical work called The Book of Dzyan, allegedly written in Atlantis. In it she gives a detailed description of Atlantis and its inhabitants, which includes advanced technology, ancient flying machines, giants, and supernormal powers. Some of the wilder aspects of Blavatsky's descriptions were to have a significant influence on a number of Atlantis theorists, thought her lost continent seems to exist on another, more spiritual, level–altogether different from the physical continent proposed by Donnelly.
From all there is to research one must come to the realization that Blavatsky and Donnelly were the foundations of literature on Atlantis and bringing that towards the Freemasons and Illuminati. Being that the Atlanteans were the Watchers/fallen angels race, it is easy to see the connection between the Watchers influencing these groups. Being that the Masons are truly evil, it was a migration that was easily led.
The "Blue Laws, Blueprints, Bluepages, Blue Music, and Royalty… all are from this race and was passed down through the millenniums. This, in fact is where our Olympics come from, 'Mighty Men" doing mighty deeds as described in the Bible. The Kings of Atlantis had blue blood! I personally believe that the Bible speaks of the ten kings of Atlantis.
We find in the Phoenician cosmogony that the Titans (Rephaim) derive their origin from the Phoenician gods Agrus and Agrotus. This connects the Phoenicians with that island in the remote west, in the midst of ocean, where, according to the Greeks, the Titans dwelt.
According to Sanchoniathon, Ouranos was the son of Autochthon, and, according to Plato, Autochthon was one of the ten kings of Atlantis. He married his sister Ge. He is the Uranos of the Greeks, who was the son of Gæa (the earth), whom he married. The Phoenicians tell us, "Ouranos had by Ge four sons: Ilus (El), who is called Chronos, and Betylus (Beth-El), and Dagon, which signifies bread-corn, and Atlas (Tammuz?)." Here, again, we have the names of two other kings of Atlantis. These four sons probably represented four races, the offspring of the earth. The Greek Uranos was the father of Chronos, and the ancestor of Atlas. The Phoenician god Ouranos had a great many other wives: his wife Ge was jealous; they quarreled, and he attempted to kill the children he had by her. This is the legend which the Greeks told of Zeus and Juno. In the Phoenician mythology Chronos raised a rebellion against Ouranos, and, after a great battle, dethroned him. In the Greek legends it is Zeus who attacks and overthrows his father, Chronos. Ouranos had a daughter called Astarte (Ashtoreth), another called Rhea. "And Dagon, after he had found out bread-corn and the plough, was called Zeus-Arotrius."
We find also, in the Phoenician legends, mention made of Poseidon, founder and king of Atlantis.
Chronos gave Attica to his daughter Athena, as in the Greek legends. In a time of plague be sacrificed his son to Ouranos, and "circumcised himself, and compelled his allies to do the same thing." It would thus appear that this singular rite, practiced as we have seen by the Atlantidæ of the Old and New Worlds, the Egyptians, the Phoenicians, the Ethiopians, the Mexicans, and the red men of America, dates back, as we might have expected, to Atlantis.
"Chronos visits the different regions of the habitable world."
He gave Egypt as a kingdom to the god Taaut, who had invented the alphabet. The Egyptians called him Thoth, and he was represented among them as "the god of letters, the clerk of the under-world," bearing a tablet, pen, and palm-branch.
This not only connects the Phoenicians with Atlantis, but shows the relations of Egyptian civilization to both Atlantis and the Phoenicians.
There can be no doubt that the royal personages who formed the gods of Greece were also the gods of the Phoenicians. We have seen the Autochthon of Plato reappearing in the Autochthon of the Phoenicians; the Atlas of Plato in the Atlas of the Phoenicians; the Poseidon of Plato in the Poseidon of the Phoenicians; while the kings Mestor and Mneseus of Plato are probably the gods Misor and Amynus of the Phoenicians.
Sanchoniathon tells us, after narrating all the discoveries by which the people advanced to civilization, that the Cabiri set down their records of the past by the command of the god Taaut, "and they delivered them to their successors and to foreigners, of whom one was Isiris (Osiris), the inventor of the three letters, the brother of Chua, who is called the first Phoenician." (Lenormant and Chevallier, "Ancient History of the East," vol. ii., p. 228.)
This would show that the first Phoenician came long after this line of the kings or gods, and that he was a foreigner, as compared with them; and, therefore, that it could not have been the Phoenicians proper who made the several inventions narrated by Sanchoniathon, but some other race, from whom the Phoenicians might have been descended.
And in the delivery of their records to the foreigner Osiris, the god of Egypt, we have another evidence that Egypt derived her civilization from Atlantis.
There was an ancient tradition among the Persians that the Phoenicians migrated from the shores of the Erythræan Sea, and this has been supposed to mean the Persian Gulf; but there was a very old city of Erythia, in utter ruin in the time of Strabo, which was built in some ancient age, long before the founding of Gades, near the site of that town, on the Atlantic coast of Spain. May not this town of Erythia have given its name to the adjacent sea? And this may have been the starting-point of the Phoenicians in their European migrations. It would even appear that there was an island of Erythea. In the Greek mythology the tenth labor of Hercules consisted in driving away the cattle of Geryon, who lived in the island of Erythea, "an island somewhere in the remote west, beyond the Pillars of Hercules." (Murray's "Mythology," p. 257.) Hercules stole the cattle from this remote oceanic island, and, returning drove them "through Iberia, Gaul, over the Alps, and through Italy." (Ibid.) It is probable that a people emigrating from the Erythræan Sea, that is, from the Atlantic, first gave their name to a town on the coast of Spain, and at a later date to the Persian Gulf–as we have seen the name of York carried from England to the banks of the Hudson, and then to the Arctic Circle.
The builders of the Central American cities are reported to have been a bearded race. The Phoenicians, in common with the Indians, practiced human sacrifices to a great extent; they worshipped fire and water, adopted the names of the animals whose skins they wore–that is to say, they had the totemic system–telegraphed by means of fires, poisoned their arrows, offered peace before beginning battle, and used drums. (Bancroft's "Native Races," vol. v., p. 77.)
The extent of country covered by the commerce of the Phoenicians represents to some degree the area of the old Atlantean Empire. Their colonies and trading-posts extended east and west from the shores of the Black Sea, through the Mediterranean to the west coast of Africa and of Spain, and around to Ireland and England; while from north to south they ranged from the Baltic to the Persian Gulf. They touched every point where civilization in later ages made its appearance. Strabo estimated that they had three hundred cities along the west coast of Africa. When Columbus sailed to discover a new world, or re-discover an old one, he took his departure from a Phoenician seaport, founded by that great race two thousand five hundred years previously. This Atlantean sailor, with his Phoenician features, sailing from an Atlantean port, simply re-opened the path of commerce and colonization which had been closed when Plato's island sunk in the sea. And it is a curious fact that Columbus had the antediluvian world in his mind's eye even then, for when he reached the mouth of the Orinoco he thought it was the river Gihon, that flowed out of Paradise, and he wrote home to Spain, "There are here great indications suggesting the proximity of the earthly Paradise, for not only does it correspond in mathematical position with the opinions of the holy and learned theologians, but all other signs concur to make it probable."
Sanchoniathon claims that the learning of Egypt, Greece, and Judæa was derived from the Phoenicians. It would appear probable that, while other races represent the conquests of Atlantis, the Phoenicians succeeded to their arts, sciences, and especially their commercial supremacy. We have the whole enchilada here! This is how our civilizations were tainted from the very beginning, even before back to the Garden of Eden!
Genetic manipulation by the fallen angels has been happening for millenniums. The Bible says the Sons of God came down to earth and multiplied with women of earth. Well how can this be? A closed minded person would look over such comments, but those of God know that this means the Watchers had great technology and thus manipulated these births by genetics. This again is continuing to occur on earth as this is being written and will continue until God and His Son comes on the great Day of Judgment.
Some interesting information has come to light and it streams in the same direction that I have been researching. The Ten Kings of Atlantis are connected in more than one way to our current events. I have said that the Ten Kings were those spoken of in Revelations. Well, this is even more descriptive.
For those of you who wish to believe that Atlantis was only myth, you may wish to revaluate your position, for it is the origin of Satan, as well as the symbolism, and numerology spoken of in the book of Daniel and Revelation, concerning the beast which rises from the sea!!
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (Rev. 13:1) KJV
And in the book of Daniel, "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. (Dan 7:24)
Poseidon was the king of the now sunken continent of Atlantis. Poseidon was also known as Neptune by the Romans.
… there were seven islands … in their times, sacred to Proserpine, and also three others of an immense extent, one of which was sacred to Pluto, another to Ammon, and the middle of these to Neptune [the Roman name for Poseidon], the magnitude of which was a thousand stadia [184 kilometres]. They also add, that the inhabitants of it preserved the remembrance from their ancestors, of the Atlantic island which existed there, and was truly prodigiously great; which for many periods had dominion over all the islands in the Atlantic Sea, and was itself likewise sacred to Neptune.
As you can see when looking at a picture of him, Poseidon has a pitchfork, scales, tail, and was the ruler of the deep, Satan. But wait, there is more!
According to Plato's accounting of Atlantis in his written works called 'Critias', he describes it in the following:
"He himself, being a god, found no difficulty in making special arrangements for the center island, bringing up two springs of water from beneath the earth, one of warm water and the other of cold, and making every variety of food to spring up abundantly from the soil. He also begat and brought up five pairs of twin male children; and dividing the island of Atlantis into ten portions, he gave to the first-born of the eldest pair his mother's dwelling and the surrounding allotment, which was the largest and best, and made him king over the rest; the others he made princes, and gave them rule over many men, and a large territory.
And he named them all; the eldest, who was the first king, he named Atlas, and after him the whole island and the ocean were called Atlantic. To his twin brother, who was born after him, and obtained as his lot the extremity of the island towards the Pillars of Heracles, facing the country which is now called the region of Gades in that part of the world, he gave the name which in the Hellenic language is Eumelus, in the language of the country which is named after him, Gadeirus. Of the second pair of twins he called one Ampheres, and the other Evaemon. To the elder of the third pair of twins he gave the name Mneseus, and Autochthon to the one who followed him. Of the fourth pair of twins he called the elder Elasippus, and the younger Mestor. And of the fifth pair he gave to the elder the name of Azaes, and to the younger that of Diaprepes.
All these and their descendants for many generations were the inhabitants and rulers of divers islands in the open sea; and also, as has been already said, they held sway in our direction over the country within the Pillars as far as Egypt and Tyrrhenia.
So we see Atlantis was composed of seven Islands (Seven Heads) divided into ten regions for Poseidon's ten sons (ten horns with ten crowns)
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (Rev. 13:1) KJV
Why the use of the word horn? And why seven heads with only ten horns?
One horn for each head would only be seven and two horns times seven heads would be 14!!
The horns was a symbol of wisdom, but also of rulership. This is why shamans, priests, and kings adopted the convention of wearing horns also, especially in the form of the crown. This was to primarily indicate that they were descendants of either the Atlanteans or the Lemurians and were endowed with power.
The research has shown there are TEN SATANIC bloodlines who rule the world, also known as the ELVEN KINGS!!
These ten are the offspring of Poseidon, which originated from Atlantis!!
The origins of the Ten bloodlines, the ancient Elven kings!!
But wait, there is even more to this story!!
Atlantis was originally composed of ten realms, as disclosed by Plato. But they eventually parted into seven plus three, which fought each other, in the Great War. Seven against three!!
Now read this part in the book of Daniel again! "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. (Dan 7:24)
These so called prophecies in Daniel and Revelation is nothing more than a Plan by TPTB to restore Atlantis as other researchers have also concluded!!
Christian author — and former Black Magick Freemason — William Schnoebelen, states that "… others saw America as the 'New Atlantis', a place where occultism could prosper uninhibited by Christianity. Long before 1776, a colony of Rosicrucian's was established in Ephrata, PA! Colonial America was full of occult groups, and both Witchcraft and Freemasonry came over on the boats quite early!" (Masonry: Beyond The Light, William Schnoebelen, Page 258)
"The explorers who opened the New World operated from a master plan and were agents of re-discovery rather than discovers. Very little is known about the origin, lives, characters, and policies of these intrepid adventurers. Although they lived in a century amply provided with historians and biographers, these saw fit either to remain silent or to invent plausible accounts without substance." (Manly P. Hall, America's Assignment With Destiny, The Adepts In The Western Tradition; (Philosophical Research Society, Los Angeles, 1990, part five, pg 50)
Manly P. Hall claimed that the Atlanteans devised a plan – a "Great Plan" – which would guide world events for millennia to come, and that it included a mysterious blueprint of what would later become America. Hall said that ancient Egyptian secret societies inherited this great plan and were well aware of the existence of the land mass in the western hemisphere which we now call America, long before it was discovered by Columbus.
According to Masonic Sources, the most important mystery of secret societies is an ancient plan, passed down for thousands of years by oral tradition, for the establishment of a world government – a "universal democracy" – a "New Atlantis." In the early 1600's, this plan for a new world order was in the keeping of Masons in the greatest commonwealth the world had ever known – the British Empire. English Masons believed that North America was the continent from which their New Atlantis would spring. (New World Order: The Ancient Plan of Secret Societies, by William T. Still, pg. 41)
It is the so called divine right to rule folks of the British Empire who claim their bloodline stems from Neptune!!
Part of the Merovingian bloodline legend is that this bloodline originated from the rape/seduction of Merovee's mother by a sea beast, a Quinotaur, when she went for a swim in the ocean. This beast was called/named "Bistea Neptunis," or simply the "Beast Neptune." He is called "Merovee", because in French, Mer means sea. Dagobert's name reveals the divine origin (so called) of his bloodline. Dagobert comes, of course, from Dagon. 'Dag' means "fish". The word "Bert" has it roots in the word Bahir and Bear (Arktos), Ursa Major, or Meru. So Dagobert's name literally means "Priest King of the House of the Fish."
Coincidence? Not a chance folks!
Ancient myth refers to Enoch as the Phoenix King (i.e. Atlas). His country, Atlantis, is also known as Phoenicia, the land of the phoenixes. Atlas was the eldest son of the great god Poseidon and a mortal woman, Cleito, daughter of Evenor and Leucippe. He was the eldest of ten sons, comprising five pairs of twins. Atlas married Pleione, also known as Hesperis, daughter of Atlas' brother, Hesperus. Pleione was the Phoenix Queen. By her Atlas had thirteen daughters – the seven Pleiades, the five Hyades, and the nymph Calypso. Symbolically, the Pleiades were represented as phoenixes or doves, whilst the Hyades were represented as pigs. Maia, the eldest of the seven Pleiades (and equated with Persephone), was wooed by Zeus and subsequently gave birth to a son called Dionysus, who was, like his grandfather, also referred to as Hermes or Mercury.
Those in the occult praise Enoch. This Enoch is not the Enoch of the Bible, but the one who according to them build cities, created the zodiac, and give man real knowledge. He is nicknamed Hermes Tresmeigus (Thrice greatest Hermes). He is also called Mercury or Thoth. A maxim in the occult (supposedly shown by this mythical Hermes) is "as above, so below" What that means is that who is present in heaven is reflected on the Earth.
Israel- Under the counterfeiting of Israel we have Islam! It is the opposite of Yahweh's Holy City. So, if you will proceed to the FAKE JERUSALEM.

The true Israelites are western Europeans, who are today either roman catholic, protestant, or atheist / agnostic. The people who call themselves Jews today are actually of edomite or khazarian origin, the ancient enemies of the real Israelites, who have sworn to destroy western civilization and its ancient institutions like the catholic church. Christ prophesized that in the latter days some Christians would fall away and worship his enemies and turn against his true church and people. These anti-christs are todays Christian Zionists.

Back to the Bakken
Oil is one of the few commodities that have held up strong and posted a good year so far in 2013. West Texas Intermediated oil has moved up some 20% over the last year and is now solidly over $105 a barrel.
WTI has also narrowed the spread with Brent substantially over the last few months, so little differential remains between these two oil benchmarks. This has played havoc with refiner stocks, most of which are down significantly over the last few weeks. On the bright side, WTI's recent rise has been a nice tailwind to domestic energy producers. Two of my smaller Bakken exploration and production concerns, Triangle Petroleum (TPLM) and Emerald Oil (EOX), are both up better than 20% over the past six weeks....372 more words left in this article.

text: Furnivals Inn was one of the Inns of Chancery on the western edge of the City of London. Administratively it was historically an extra-parochial area, becoming a civil parish in 1858. It was surrounded by the parish of St Andrew Holborn. Both Furnivals Inn and St Andrew Holborn straddled the City of London and the adjoining county of Middlesex. In 1889 that part of Furnivals Inn in Middlesex was transferred to the newly-created County of London, becoming part of the Holborn Metropolitan Borough in 1900. Holborn Metropolitan Borough was abolished in 1965, becoming part of the London Borough of Camden. That part of Furnivals Inn inside the City was absorbed into the parish of St Andrew Holborn in 1900, which in turn was abolished in 1907 when the parishes within the City were united into the London civil parish.

Can a regional Parliament in Belgium really prevent the Canada-EU comprehensive economic and trade agreement (CETA) from moving forward?
It's a question that, on the face of it, should be easy to answer. It isn't.
EU trade ministers are scheduled to decide Tuesday whether to conclude and sign the deal and how much of it can be provisionally applied after a vote in the European Parliament.
But continuing to complicate matters is last week's vote by the Federation of Wallonia-Brussels Parliament to reject CETA.

Women in Trucking - One Woman's Journey
The Survivor
We were traveling through Pennsylvania when a voice came on the CB and said "Good Morning". It was a pleasant female voice. A very nice change from the harsh male trucker's voices I was used to hearing. This simple message was met with a variety of answers from "Good Morning" to obscenities about womanhood in general. I was surprised and not at all amused by the response she got.
My husband got on the CB and said something about how awful it was that such a wonderful greeting would meet with such a negative response. The next voice we heard was a male's. "That was my hero that said Good Morning." Neither my husband nor myself thought too much about the response.
The CB was quiet as we continued through the hills. A little while later we picked up on a conversation between two truckers. We recognized one of the voices as the man who had said it was his hero who said Good Morning. He was explaining to the other trucker that his wife woke up every morning grateful to be alive and wanted to say Good Morning to the world. He went on to explain that she was in treatment for Cancer.
This had been a really rough year for her. She had lost her son earlier that year. She had various forms of Cancer, some carcinomas and uterine cancer. She had surgery earlier in the year to remove her uterus and was now enduring some really rough Chemotherapy. She had decided to come out on the road with her husband during treatment so they could be together.
She called herself Yoda with a laugh because all of her hair had fallen out. She explained how her treatments were every 3 weeks and she was connected to the medicine for several days. She was cheerful, but I heard the fatigue in her voice.
I looked over at my husband who was crying. He spoke into the microphone, "I am traveling with my hero also. She is a 3-year survivor of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. You keep up the fight and may God bless you." He had to stop talking because his voice was starting to break up. The CB was silent for a little while. I touched his face and wiped away a tear and remembered how hard it was for him while I was going through my treatment. I couldn't talk.
"Do you want to say something to her?" He asked me as he pointed to the microphone.
"No" I couldn't find the words through the huge lump in my throat.
I wanted to say to keep up the positive attitude. I wanted to say that her hair would come back, and, if it came back like mine, it would be wonderfully curly. I wanted to say that she would be in my prayers and that I knew what she was going through. But I didn't.
But there hasn't been a day that has gone by since I heard her "Good Morning" that I don't think about her and wonder how she is doing. I admire her courage and her sense of humor. I pray that she gets through this. I hope someday she can get on the CB and tell everyone that she is a 3-year Cancer Survivor.

Gunmen kill 15 policemen in Basra
Gunmen in the southern Iraqi city of Basra kidnapped then killed 15 policemen working as instructors at the local police academy, along with two translators, police said.
The men were forced off a bus on the city's outskirts at about 4:00pm (1300 GMT), said a local police captain, speaking on condition of anonymity according to guidelines protecting their identities.
Police began discovering their bodies dumped in several locations around the city about four hours later.
Basra is about 80% Shiite, Iraq's majority sect who make up the bulk of the police and security forces nationwide, especially in the predominantly Shiite south.
Most of the murdered policemen were also believed to be Shiite.

Gladiolus murielae
Abyssinian gladiolus (syn acidanthera or callianthus )
- Position: full sun
- Soil: moist, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: August to October
- Hardiness: frost tender
- Bulb Size: 6-8cm
We believe everyone should have some of these in their garden. Their spikes of nodding, funnel-shaped, highly fragrant white flowers, each with a prominent burgundy blotch at the base of their petals, seem to dance on the breeze at the ends of their slender stems from late summer onwards. An elegant plant, it is ideal for adding movement to a sunny border, and they give masses of flowers at a time of the year when little else is. Plant it in clumps throughout the beds, or pot them up (around 15 - 20 corms in a 30cm pot) and keep them on the patio next to a seating area or often-used pathway, where you will be sure to make the most of the heady scent. They are cheap as chips considering the dazzling show they put on in their first year, but treat them the same as you would a tulip and replace them every year (or two) to keep the display fresh.
- Garden care: Plant corms 10-16cm (4-6in) deep in spring, on a bed of sharp sand to aid drainage. In frost-prone areas, lift them when the leaves turn yellow-brown, dip the corms in fungicide and store in a dry, frost-free place over winter.
- CAUTION do not eat ornamental bulbs

Q:hi, I would like to grow these near my conifer trees. Will they be able to grow .Asked on 24/2/2015 by alexandra from norwich, norfolk
1 answer
A:Hello there
The issue might be that the conifers will take a lot of moisture and nutrients out of the soil and cast shade over them. These plants like full sun with a free draining soil, but they do need moisture.
Hope this helps.Answered on 4/3/2015 by Anonymous from crocus
Q:I grew a pot full of these last year and ended up with a lot of leaves but no flowers,what did I do wrong?Asked on 5/2/2014 by the boot from Cornwall
1 answer
A:Hello there
There could be a number of reasons, - if they are planted too late in the season then they might not flower, or not enough sun as they sun do like full sun, or maybe planted too deeply- they should be planted between 10-15cm deep, or the corms were too small, or overcrowding in the pot, or even that the soil is too rich in nitrogen so they are producing lots of leaves rather flowers.
Sorry I cannot give you a definite answer, but hope this helps.Answered on 6/2/2014 by Anonymous from Crocus

where did Emily's comment go? You know, the one where she says its nothing new, since SHE WAS THERE and saying all this.
Interesting new approach, trying to dispute the authenticity, as if that will work.

JBL Synchros S400BT Stereo On-Ear Bluetooth Headphone
You can't press pause on a pro-audio revolution – certainly not when JBL engineers are at the helm. Introducing the new JBL S400BT. As the latest addition to the JBL Synchros line of premium headphones, the award-winning S400BT adds the freedom of Bluetooth 3.0 wireless to the performance of a Synchros headphone. Using advanced aptX digital encoding technology that streams high-resolution audio on par with any wired Synchro headphone, the S400BT is fine-tuned on the inside to maximize enjoyment on the outside. Take the headphone's hassle-free single touch sensor for instance: all you need to do is swipe your finger anywhere along the S400BT's left outer earcup, and you can seamlessly adjust your headphone's volume, track-changes, and call settings, since the entire earcup functions as a single, touch-sensitive control system. The right outer earcup boosts user flexibility as well, coming with an NFC sensor that pairs your headphone to any NFC-enabled device. Just give the right earcup a single tap, and you're instantly connected. With this level of intuitive technology at play, it's hard not to notice how the S400BT simplifies like never before. Others will definitely take notice: a built-in LED lighting system trails the touch of your hand in reaction to each adjustment made to your headphone's settings. Now you can showcase your listening experience at the speed of light. Viewed as a whole, the S400BT is a wireless headphone that's meant to celebrate - as much as to simplify – premium listening. Chances are you've never witnessed a headphone that comes even close to this.
JBL Professional Audio Sound with PureBass Performance and aptX encoding.
Sound modeled after industry leading JBL professional audio speakers delivers a balanced audio experience with amazing clarity and deep powerful bass, while advanced aptX encoding lets you experience the highest possible wireless sound quality available.
Bluetooth® 3.0 wireless freedom with innovative touch sensor controls and NFC technology simplify the user experience.
Wireless technology liberates you from the hassles of wires, while NFC technology on the right outer earcup simplifies the Bluetooth pairing process.

GHC's Fabulous Fridays are filled with fun
By Erin Spearman
Staff Writer
After 10 years with Georgia Highlands College, Martha Kirkpatrick, senior secretary of physical education, retired at the end of March.
Kirkpatrick started working at GHC on Sept. 8, 1997. "I had butterflies at first," she said, "then I got excited." The thought of not working after so many years "the fear of the unknown," is what worries Kirkpatrick .
Paula Edney, physical education instructor, commented that Kirkpatrick is going to be immensely missed. "She is a special person," Edney said. Kirkpatrick has been a critical part of the Physical Education Department. Edney said that she "bridges the gap of communication" between students and faculty. She was a great contact person for students.
Kirkpatrick is a self-proclaimed homebody and plans to garden now that she has the spare time. She said that this will all be pretty difficult because she really loves to be around people. Edney said, "It will definitely be difficult to get along without her. She was always there if we needed anything."

STOCKHOLM (Mar. 2)
West Germany has asked Norway to submit evidence against Helmuth Reichard, wartime Gestapo chief in the Oslo area who has been arrested in Baden Baden, it was reported here today.
Some 15 witnesses have reported to Oslo police and numerous documents and testimonials will be sent to the Baden prosecutor. Reichard was considered directly responsible for the deportation of Norwegian Jews and the execution of Norwegian patriots. It was understood that Norway was not likely to ask for the Nazi's extradition.

I like this route but I never knew the name. The crux sequence is super hard and one of the bolts I find pretty hard to clip, but other than that this route is enjoyable.
I never used the knee bar for anything more than theory, and I think you need to be pretty strong to do anything but dyno through the crux sequence.

|So this route is powerful which isn't my strength so it was really hard for me... i just had a block on it... but i grew to like it a lot even though at first i wasn't crazy about it... i really needed to work out ever part of my sequence perfectly before it would go... i now have the perfect sequence for me and if it wasn't so damn sharp I'd do it again soon...

What starts out as the irreverent journey of the openly gay writer Truman Capote to the middle-class world of 1950's Kansas, where he goes -- with his childhood friend Harper Lee -- to research the murder of the Clutter family, turns to something altogether darker when Capote forms an intense and complex relationship with one of the murderers. In doing so, he produced his greatest work, 'In Cold Blood,' but at a devastating personal cost.

Ravenna residents are being invited to share their ideas for the city's downtown.
Officials are hosting a public meeting from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 210 Park Way, Ravenna.
The topic of the meeting is the future use of 76 acres in downtown Ravenna surrounding Main Street.
Last year, Ravenna became one of six communities to receive funding from the Brownfield Action Plan Pilot Program. The $50,000 grant studied a 220-acre area of the city bordered by North Diamond and North Prospect streets, Lincoln Avenue and West Main Street.
The study cited three specific areas that were the most in need of improvement, based on a number of criteria, including health hazards and liabilities, development potential, discongruity with the area and whether the city would get a "big bang for its buck" Economic Development Director Kerry Macomber said.
However, those three potential projects are not the only ones that may be discussed at the meeting, she said.
"If someone within that area wants their site to be considered, now is the time to step forward," she said.
One of the three areas identified by the study include the five-acre site that hosts the concrete plant at 127 Pittsburg St. The former Smith and Cowan property fronts on a small street accessible from West Main Street and can be seen from the parking lot of the McDonalds. It is more easily visible from Highland Avenue, and many customers at the Big Dog Saloon use the land for a parking lot. The city hopes to develop the land into a park.
Macomber said the city has learned that the five-acre site actually has two owners. Osborne Inc. owns the property that faces Highland Avenue, and the company is interested in donating the land to the city. However, Duracote owns the land that faces West Main Street, and seems interested in the property's Main Street frontage, so the city is not sure if the park would include the entire parcel.
North Chestnut Street, another area identified by the study, is being considered as a possible arts and entertainment district.
The city-owned parcel at the corner of West Highland and North Chestnut streets will be opened as Monza Studio in the near future, an arts incubator that will be operated by Hiram College.
The former Paul's Do It Center also is being considered for future development.
"There's all kinds of options in that area," she said.
The study also identified a private development that is still in discussion, she said.
Macomber noted that any project in the area is eligible for grant funding to make that project happen.
"There is $50,000 in funding that we will be able to make recommendations on," she said.

There is nothing domestic about any kind of violence. Real violence is ugly, never "spiritual;" cute, glamorous or "glorious." Simply disgusting and ugly, filled with stress, toxic biochemistry and fear. Tyranny in any form is no less despotic than that of a dictatorial regime.
The solution to violence is not as cut and dried as simplistic thinking would lead the uninformed to believe. Victims entrained, often from a very early age, to be victims, usually find it difficult to disentangle.
It's not as simple as taking a few "self defence" classes or buying a gun, then going home and stopping dad, from sneaking into your room at night and raping you, or smashing you into a wall, as happens with so many thousands who are then scarred for life. Or your uncle or another "trusted" pillar of society from taking liberties abusing their position of trust. Or your mother from screeching incessantly and throwing things or other underhanded dysfunctionalites. Or dad punching you up, slapping or using any physical force, as a bereft way of "communication" or "discipline." Or other mental illness induced, dysfunctional and detrimental, bullying activities.
There is a spiritual and mental component to being able to defend yourself in the face of real violence. Simple kata, techniques and forms will not be enough. At the core of training, over time, regular Budo restores and develops kokoro. Far more useful than a few forms ensnared by opinions. Kokoro is the living bridge which connects to the river of life giving energy and enables you to reclaim yourself.
The mental manipulations that often support violent habits are those of coercion, intimidation, cultivation of fear and even the spin that such activity is "normal." The other side of a violent episode can often take the form of "rewarding" the victim thereby reinforcing the victim habit at very deep psychological levels. These entrenched habituations together with the attendant mental illnesses are often passed on intergenerationally.
Bullies suffer from a mental disease that leads them to suppose an entitlement to commit criminal activity and aggression. Often those returning from war have lost the ability to distinguish between peace and war circumstances and continue to behave as if at war, as well as displaying other psychological damage and trauma. Traumatized individuals are usually unaware of their damage and in denial of the fact they may be suffering from anything ranging from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, to very severe psychiatric illness. Role modeling, habituation and the nature of environmental adaptation being what it is, victims often "graduate" to become perpetrators.
So where does your judo, karate, aikido, wrestling , mau tai, chi gong and kendo come into this. Will such training somehow heal your innate violent tendencies or protect you from sick family habituations. Or will they make you into a potential criminal, a bully with added skill at brutalizing? Is training simply a way of sublimating your desires to commit violence? Sort of getting the violence off your chest for the time being? Or something else?
This is a very serious subject. Whilst despotic regimes force led by psychiatric laggards who impose their stunted will on a populace, conduct wrongful arrests, torture, rape, deprivation of liberties, murder and other atrocities, there are millions of homes which experience similar symptoms such as people being held hostage by their "loved ones," being brutalized, manipulated, intimidated, raped and although not necessarily always associated, sometimes murdered as well.
In such circumstances, "martial art" is often as useful as a katana in a phone booth. Sometimes the added skill can be useful, especially in cases of severe violence and this assuming the mental state of the victim has managed to break through some rather entrenched survival submission habits. In many cases the eldest son, growing up, increasing testosterone and other evolutionary predispositions then stands up to an abusively violent father, often to defend the weaker members of the family. On rare occasions Budo combat skills can be useful at home, when shamefully necessary. Often, of necessity, they will need to manifest as bujutsu. Without appropriate legal backup, it can also go pear shaped as well and thereby further victimize the wrong persons.
And there was a time when "the law" favoured the very "breadwinner" who was also the perpetrator. I won't at this time go into the stolen generation of daughters, their mysterious pregnancies and covertly illegal adoptions, and sons who kill fathers in order to stop the tyranny the law fails to. That is a subject in itself. People hope that if ignored for long enough, along with the victims, the problem will simply go away. But will it?
The so called "street" where all the assaults and robberies are said to happen, statistically forms the lesser part of the problem of violence. Violence and all its perniciously toxic seeds begins in the home. The immense social shame leads to multifaceted denial mechanisms and it is doubtful that in pointing out these widespread social malaises, this article will even be published. If the editor has the courage to do so, you will be reading it.
Our ancient instincts of cunning come from millions of years of violent survival and endless wars. These instincts are alive and well, in some way, under the surface of even the most peace loving, kindest, noble person. They are a necessary engine that drives life to protect itself. Unleashed chaotically they are dangerous. Suppressed more so. They need to be balanced, but observing our current state of evolution, and conscious and deliberate addressing of this disease as a science with due political will and sincere intent, this will take as many millions of years. We have a long way to go. Addressed consciously and deliberately as a discipline of true courage and personal integration, this balancing process can happen in one life.
In facing our own dark side, reenacting pretend violence respectfully and with due restraint in budo training is certain to achieve some solid measure of results over time. To name a few, regular budo training primarily reinforces the body-mind connection. This serves to activate ancient survival principles innate whether you are timid and oppressed, or not. Such training as a way of life, develops a relative immunity to the otherwise debilitating and submissive, or counter violent instinctive reactions usually triggered by acts of aggression. And serves to mitigate the mental anguish that would usually result in the innately reasonable person so subjected to personal injustices.
It may also build some measure of confidence. Sometimes false, sometimes valid. However, being upfront and facing real aggression daily can also link in to provide context to the original predispositions behind training. In a similar way training may lend perspective to real and uninvited violent circumstances.
This may enable a person to begin to think strategically instead of as a victim. Strategic thinking has many ramification, no less than developing the ability to remove oneself from the problem, taking legal actions, thinking beyond oneself alone and working to bring about suitable legal reforms for others in a similar plight, and other tactics and devices. It also helps increase self respect. This alone is empowering.
Training may also enable you to survive when faced with imminent violence that is transgressing your natural human rights, the natural birthright of personal safety.
Some perpetrators are more ill than others and often the problem will escalate. This means that one day they could cross the line and go beyond what is relatively safe. In that case you will need to move fast. Being able to move is good. Regular training could improve your chances of preventing harm and surviving.
No infringement, imposition, abuse or violence, is ever either OK or excusable. Morally weak defectives have no entitlements over anyone else, never did and will never have. No matter who they are or who they think they are. And although they too may need help, when under attack it is no time for stupid compassion, rather imminent action to survive.
The family should be a safe sanctuary, not a hiding place for cowards, bullies or the psychiatrically unwell. Family denotes a place of unity and constructive, loving, cooperation, not a divisive battlefield of pain, torture and mental anguish. But this is not always the case.
The ability to protect yourself in whatever measure, in the face of any and all violence, is essential. The ability to think strategically and implement security measures in advance of full contact happening, equally so.
Backup of any kind could increase your chances in the event of a final end-game confrontation. But early prevention is far better than allowing matters to slide into death dealing confrontation. Appeasement only makes the psychopath imagine they are powerful. It is not a good strategy. Nor is direct confrontation unless you are suddenly faced with no alternative. Strategic thinking and measured steps to deliberately and purposefully correct the problem are essential.
Regular training can facilitate this and skill and understanding so developed, can serve to minimize harm all round, thereby mitigating the potential for tragedy. An in-depth understanding such as presented in the book The Gift of Fear by Mr. Gavin de Becker will enable you to take definitive steps.https://www.gavindebecker.com/books-gof.cfm
An Aiki attitude cultivated in regular training, and the deliberate seeking of understanding how to develop skills to manage violence ahead of the predictable conclusion; develops foresight and thus the ability mitigate violence in advance of it happening, by changing the right things before the end game can happen.
Recruiting skilled help is valuable, as is permanently leaving the danger zone using a properly prepared exit strategy. And in other ways taking charge of one's own life to make such changes that will make further attacks impossible. Invoking due legal processes that can be enforced and understanding the basis for doing so with a chance of success. Taking steps to make physical changes that will place the perpetrator out of permanent reach. Unraveling the habituations that make being a victim a symbiotic disease that plays a dangerous game. Seeking and recruiting lawful and meaningful skilled help will also improve the chances of a successful resolution.
Facing the problem with prudence, aforethought and skill, instead of simply hoping it will one day change or go away, may be a testing path of self transformation; but combined with the addition of Budo training with aiki at the forefront of intention, it can increase the chances of successfully negotiating a lasting restoration of harmony. On this basis preparing oneself to become a warrior to meet the cards dealt by life, has meaningful value. Taking responsibility for the problem will empower you.
Even at home. Perhaps, particularly at home, this may sometimes be necessary. If it is, rest assured the problem will not go away by itself. It is your rightful human duty to do all in your power to wisely and cautiously reclaim yourself. And this fully.
