What gives humanity great hope is our new heart and mindset thanks to the Occupy World Movement, where the 99% are taking more active roles in protecting and sharing the planet’s precious resources. This follows the UN’s “International Mother Earth Day” where 192 Nation States now honor Mother Earth annually on April 22^st, for being a living, loving, intelligent, compassionate being. It was initiated by the Indigenous Bolivians after losing in 2008 their 18,000 foot ski area and glacier, the water supply for 2 million people.

For this 2012 summit, the most respected environmental organizations on Earth just submitted their recommendations so that World leaders and citizens could digest their brilliant solutions. Then at RIO+20 they can agree, prioritize and start holistically preventing the projected massive die outs by creating a sustainable New Earth. Many solutions can be implemented now, as time is so precious.

NAOTF’s recommendations are particularly important to the Olympic Sports movement since the world’s mountain chains, with thousands of ski areas on them, are our main source of precipitation (along with the oceans), including the recent freaky weather. And the snowmelt is critical for all our playgrounds and life support systems.

Oprah’s attendance at an Aborigine Women’s ceremony on Australia’s sacred Mt Uluru on world TV was the first time many have been aware of the importance of participating in cross-cultural ceremonies and prayers together. Yet for years many enlightened ski communities in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and elsewhere, have been helping ensure that our beloved snowsports go on through tribal outreach. Disruption of electricity alone from these earth changes that the Mayans and other tribes prophesied, along with increased solar flares in 2012, which NASA warned about – why we need off-the-grid renewable energy – could affect the ability of our civilization to thrive, especially snowsports.

I honor the foresight of my fellow US Olympic Teammates who voted our foundation funding in 1999, realizing that the wisest way to help ensure that future generations can enjoy snowsports is through restoring our integrity with Nature. And what better way than through the tribal wisdom of our ancient ancestors, which the tribes are helping us remember.

Because scientists expect more droughts,(and wildfires that further heat our planet), UN’s Sustainability officer, Marie Mercedes Sanchez, encouraged NAOTF to share with communities around the world how the North American Ski Areas and Tribes have together miraculously ended droughts since 1963. The key is inviting tribal youth to enjoy skiing and snowboarding in their beloved ancestral mountains, which has inspired their Elders to lead Gratitude Snowdances. (See press documented miracles on http://snow-riders.org/mir.html .)

Sincere prayers and ceremonies lift the vibration of the mountains, as well as oceans, where no toxins exist, as Japan’s Dr. Emoto has demonstrated, and this purification rebalances Nature’s cycles. Six Nobel Prize winners agree with the gifted Elders and Earth healers, that rebalancing Nature cycles in practical and spiritual ways is crucial to smoothing out these Earth changes.

WORLD INDIGENOUS OUTREACH

Therefore, with the blessings and connections of David Ingimie, President of the SnowSports Industries of America, NAOTF is calling on ALL world ski communities to assist their ski areas in inviting a dozen nearby Indigenous youth for a day of joyful skiing and snowboarding. Plus requesting that an Indigenous Elder or shaman lead a Gratitude Snowdance, and graciously hosting their family. The ideal time for these modest gatherings of good-hearted people from both cultures is this December when ski areas also need ‘gentle snows’ the most, to lead into 2012. This is also a good time for ski areas downunder to thank Creator for the snow they have just received and gather good karma for next season. WWW.SNOW-RIDERS.ORG has maps, websites and contacts to the tribes and ski areas nearest you.

If the tribal youth fall in love with healthy skiing or boarding, which some of their ancestors invented with the Chinese-Mongolians 8-10,000 years ago (according to Mammoth’s 2009 World Ski Congress), we recommend adopting Telluride SkiCo’s Ute Mountain model, endorsed by President Ingimie. Ute students pay (a super affordable) $15./day and chaperones $30.; the ski school donates a few lessons; and a couple of ski shops share donating the rentals as their part of still inspiring snowblessings.

Ski communities could follow New Zealand’s lead. A promoter wants a group of our Native American Olympic Hopefuls, dancers and an Elder to enjoy skiing, boarding and sharing ceremonies with their Maoris and mainstream kids during their June 2012 Winter Festival. Seneca Iroquois Elder RobertJohn Knapp has offered to assist. With citizens from six European countries behind him, Knapp inspired Pope Benedict to declare in 2008 that “it a sin to poison the water.” We are also open to ski and ceremonial exchanges like we did with the 10-year-old King of Africa’s Uganda, (which has snowy mountains) and the Ute Tribe at Colorado’s Keystone Ski Area. For questions, contact suzynativevoices@aol.com

Trendsetting North American Ski areas, including Vail, Telluride, Aspen, Steamboat, Ski Sunlight, Park City’s 2002 Games, Mammoth, Taos, Heavenly Valley, Big Bear, Snow Valley, Snow Summit, Mt Shasta, Mt Ashland, Stevens Pass, Snoqualmie, Alyeska, Cochran’s Hill (Vt), Sugarloaf, Whistler at Vancouver Olympics, Sun Peaks and 11 other Canadian Ski Areas, plus Gstaad (Switz), Kitzbuhl (Austria), Bariloche (Argentina), and Portillo (Chile) have learned priceless lessons from their tribal weather miracles about living in more harmony with Nature: How giving appreciation to Mother Earth for all She has given us, including the snow, plus healing the past and starting a new beginning with nearby tribes through these events and programs, inspires more snowblessings. Also key is switching to earth-honoring green products, organic food, and renewable energy, like Aspen and Jiminy Peak (MA), which are partially self-sufficient solar and wind energy heroes.

In 2007 we skiers learned that prayers can effectively be directed to assist other countries, when European Ski Areas were suffering “the warmest winter in 1,200 years.” NAOTF’s European advisor, French Princess Caroline Murat, reported how the snows finally came following a Hawaiian Elder’s-led prayer, on Feb 14^th, Valentine’s Day, to include Mother Earth in our hearts. Participants included many from Earth Charter USA’s 2,500 communities, the ONEness Network, thanks to Oneness scientist Sperry Andrews, and the Pacific Rim thanks to the China Millennium Council.

We also learned from gifted Cherokee Earth healer, Olivia Ellis Phd, the power of praying on the amazing “19 Holy Mountains” on four Continents. “It is like having 3,000 friends praying with you,” she said. Uniting the powerful prayers of an Interfaith Gathering on Mt Baldy Ski Area, a Holy Mt near LA, with millions of Apache-led prayers, helped miraculously bring the rains and wind that stopped the fires across the street from Los Alamos Nuclear Lab.

Scientists have proven the power of prayers and a few have done successful experiments capturing and sending prayer energy. The most effective has been the late Sir George King, a British astrophysicist-mystic who founded the Aetherius Society. He became a household name in the Isles in the 60′s after inventing a way to store in batteries the high vibrational energy of groups chanting and praying on holy mountains, and later redirecting them toward preventing or reducing catastrophes. When the focused energy is released, firestorms, hurricanes, droughts, floods, and earthquakes are neutralized or transformed into life saving weather conditions; work they have been doing for five decades for world communities and Nature. Since it is hard to amass people on a holy mountain or even a prayer group or ceremony at a moment’s notice, King compassionately created this safety net for humanity in advance of extreme weather and earth changes, which we are especially witnessing at this time.

“The tribes call this ‘The Purification.’ Ultimately it’s not Mother Earth, but us who need to raise our vibration by green actions, healing deeds and appreciation–so She doesn’t have to by shaking us off Her back. Our Earth Mother will be purified one way or another, with or without us. The karmic bell that is tolling now tolls to let us know it is time for all hands to be on deck working together; the only other option is to walk the plank,” said Dr. Ellis.

Here’s an example of the beautiful energy at the Mt Baldy Pilgrimage; http://sites.google.com/site/worldpeacepilgrimage/ Locations of Holy Mts – near Aspen plus New Hampshire, Britain, Switzerland, France, Africa - and info to make safe pilgrimages on Aetherius.org.

Since not everyone has mountains, and we must together restore our dying oceans to survive and thrive, the UN also encouraged us to spread the importance of community participation in oceandances, led by Indigenous Elders or shamen. For example, I attended a joyful Azteca-led one in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on 11/11/11, a holy day that also multiplies prayers. Regular tribal ceremonies have helped keep ports like Puerto Vallarta, Paradise. Their waters are clear and the whales are jumpin!

A Mayan leader said this cross-cultural reuniting of our hearts with Mother Earth through ceremonies, is the key to reducing the 2012 earth changes. Why not open our hearts a little now instead of after catastrophes? Sir George King reinforced the Mayan message in saying that there is only one energy crisis on this planet, and it is a spiritual energy crisis.

Each culture has a special critical gift for humanity. The Indigenous Peoples have the closest connection with Mother Earth and track record of reviving and rebalancing Her, praised by UN members. With 2,000 tribes going extinct each year, according to the U.N., this outreach will help preserve them and their priceless wisdom that we need more than ever. Therefore we hope that many are inspired to read and act on NAOTF’s holistic recommendations for RIO+20, including why we need a nuclear-free world to together restore our only home.  http://www.uncsd2012.org/rio20/index.php?page=view&type=510&nr=637&menu=20

YOUTH CARETAKERS

Since the youth are the future, we call on the world schools to share the following stunningly riveting youtube videos to save us all precious time helping create a generation of Earth Caretaking Geniuses:

A Child’s Appeal to the U.N.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KY9LaxVkDM

Plus the multi-lingual “HOME,” “Water: The Great Mystery”, the “UN’s 2011 International Year of Forests.” http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=2387,

Austrian astrophysicist-shaman Johann Grander discovered a way to use the original water with its potent healing properties to purify tap water. Using it in the snowmaking machines of his country’s ski areas has resulted in more consistent snow and people can even drink out of his Kitzbuhl streams. His Grander Method, honored by the Russians, has amazing applications used worldwide, such as replacing chlorine in pools: http://usa.grander.biz/en/johann-grander.

Michael Berry, President of the National Ski Areas Association, has praised the Mountainriders Alliance (MRA), founded by Jamie Schectman, for helping create a new era of U.S. ski areas putting communities, green energy and integrity with Nature, including tribal ceremonies and programs, over profits. (mountainridersalliance.com) MRA just announced partnering with Skilogik, a green equipment pioneer. For every pair of their magnificent cutting edge skis sold, they plant a tree and donate $35 to give Native youth a chance to restore their health and have Olympic dreams. http://www.powdermag.com/latest-news/mountain-riders-alliance-skilogik-partner-on-custom-skis/

Other key videos are: Lester Brown’s “Planet’s Scarcest Resource Is Time”: http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_22858.cfm and THRIVE: What On Earth Will It Take? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OibqdwHyZxk

Here’s how school diets can transform violence and student bullies into harmonious Earth Caretakers, why First Lady Michelle’s Children’s Organic Garden at the White House is spreading to schools across the U.S., since it is also helps end obesity. http://www.wanttoknow.info/050520schooldietchange

NAOTF recommends Stevia, a no carb South American Tribal-discovered herbal sweetener, which has also been helping Asians stay lean and clean and lower diabetes and alcoholism, since alcohol is a toxic sugar. Fortunately, Stevia sweeteners and beverages have just been approved in the US and E.U..

Telluride’s 4^th grade environmental class got to see Nature through the eyes of their Indigenous ancestors when a Park Ranger got sick and we helped them get a Cherokee historian to take the students on a hike. The kids were totally fascinated and wanted more. Inspired by their consistent snow, Aspen SkiCo wants to include Ute-led Nature hikes.

By world schools and ski areas including Native-led hikes, humanity could have a spiritual love affair with Nature, like most of the UN members and renowned authors who spoke on this year’s Live webcast part of International Mother Earth Day.

Here are the other priceless recommendations for RIO+20 by each country’s most effective environmental organizations: http://www.uncsd2012.org/rio20/index.php?menu=115

Special thanks to Mountain Creek Ski Resort (NJ) and Ute Mt Casino (CO) for helping make all this possible. And Thanksgiving blessings to all Mother Earth’s caretakers, especially Native Americans, whose Iroquois model of male-female balanced democracy is springing up worldwide.

The Elders and your children bless you for doing your part to create this dawn of a joyfully humming New Earth!

Since alcoholism and drug addiction is passed on generationally, Betty’s inspiring and helping moms to get clean too, starting back in the 70′s, was key to getting the whole family, and therefore World Family psychologically healthy to be better Earth Guardians. And three decades of families experiencing more serenity has helped create this Green Revolution.

Photo Caption: Though not realizing she helped liberate much of the U.S. and world from substance abuse, Betty befittingly danced on the table of the Cabinet on her last day as First Lady! Photo courtesy: Kennerly.com.

DADS BECOMING REMARKABLE NURTURERS

Dads also deeply affect their children, and in America, many of these happier dads have become remarkable nurturers while moms have jobs outside the home. And in general, families are becoming more balanced as more and more dads have become a bigger part of their children’s lives, to everyone’s delight.

Betty was the first First Lady or any First Family member of any country we know of to admit to having a substance abuse problem. She had the courage to shine a light on this taboo thanks to a loving supportive her husband, President Gerald Ford, and children, Jack, Steve and Susan, by her side. Her revelation also resulted in studies coming to light back then that “70% of U.S. college students are binge drinkers – our future leaders!” Given the price of drugs and sex, as we have just seen in the news, addicted politicians are especially vulnerable to lobbyists for payoffs and big campaign donations. And much of the Human Race has some kind of addiction challenges.

WHY WE ARE FACING “MASS EXTINCTIONS UNLESS WE ALL TAKE SWIFT ACTION” (CNN)

Seeing that amazing progress should give us confidence that we can make another critical leap since substance addiction is still rampant. And in June, there was an “Emergency Call to Action to Protect Earth by the UN, Pope, Scientists, Indigenous and Olympians.” http://billionaires.forbes.com/article/0a5dcYsfvv0Ns/quotes?q=

EVERYONE IS NEEDED TO RESTORE EARTH!

Everyone is needed to help restore our planet’s life support systems. As Earth Wisdomkeeper, Paul Hawkin, said in his 2009 epic graduation speech, “YOU ARE BRILLIANT, AND MOTHER EARTH IS HIRING!” That is why getting to the roots to prevent or heal addictions is critical, as it not only hurts the person, but his/her loved ones, co-workers, companies, fellow drivers, and populations they may represent. And billions of addicts add up to the main reason why Earth Guardianship is still not a big enough priority for humanity and we are facing “A mass extinction unlike anything human history has ever seen is coming unless we all take swift action.” (CNN-June)

RUSSIA ADDDRESSED ALCOHOLIC “CURSE”

Some countries are doing more than others to raise awareness or implement solutions. As President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, an avid skier, addressed his country’s alcoholic “Curse.” It may have been consciously or unconsciously to get more countrymen to care about restoring their toxified lands, especially after Chernobyl… Russian health leaders tried hypnosis, which worked on some, but found, like so many other countries worldwide, that the long-term group therapy of Alcoholics Anonymous’ (AA) 12 Step Program is surprisingly the most effective way to get clean and stay sober. http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(06)68015-X/fulltext

WHAT IS ADDICTION?

In the last decade, scientists found that there is a switch in the back of the brain that links our natural urge to survive with eating and drinking healthy fresh foods,(especially organic/pesticide-free), as well as exercising, and making a living. However, addictions from ingesting or sniffing – a huge epidemic among 12 yr olds – of a variety of toxins, alters our body’s chemistry and its miraculous self-healing mechanisms. Regular use or enough overdoses of the toxin overrides or short circuits our brain switch, and instead links our survival instinct to getting more of that (toxic) fix – a drink, drug, glue, sex, cigarette, sugary or diet soda.

Addiction to one toxin is often combined with others, such as having a cigarette with a drink or drug, and unconsciously craving toxic products and fast foods, such as a McDonald’s (nutrition-free) “Happy Meal” with dozens of toxic chemicals in the meat and buns that don’t break down for decades. Just as damaging, these addictions also include a self-fulfilling negative, controlling, pessimistic outlook on life that brings everyone down.

Therefore, the constant craving to get high from pills, shots, sniffing, or alcohol/”spirits,” plus finding the money to pay for it, takes priority over all else, which doesn’t leave much time to serve the greater good. Like trying to drive when high, a fuzzy mind also takes longer to do all the other real survival tasks of keeping everyone in the family fed, clothed, sheltered, and happy.

MAKING HOMES SAFE HAVENS

Making your home a safe haven from toxins can greatly raise your chances of creating lean and clean bright kids. CNN’s Sanjay Gupte said on his “Toxic America” series that cracking windows and buying houseplants can filter 80% of the toxins hidden in so many household products, like synthetic detergents. But shifting to all natural products and foods, like Europe has, can do the most to purify homes to naturally attract children to healthy lifestyles.

The Betty Ford Center near Palm Springs is renowned for its high success rates because Betty genuinely cared about making other people’s lives better. Her rehab program, like others, continues to help people further explore, download and heal psychological wounds, including with their families, which caused them to want to escape reality though substance abuse. Because most addicts are nutritionally starved, her center offers healthy uplifting habits and food to enhance making wiser choices. The Dalai Lama said, “The key to life is having good habits.”

Everyone has childhood hurts that we as sovereign beings are responsible for healing, since God gave us great minds, hearts, intuition and discernment. Betty’s state of the art clinic, like most, includes the spirituality of the 12 Step Programs of AA and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Teen Challenge is a faith based drug recovery program that has also transformed lives around the world. AA and its sister Alanon, a group-support for the families of alcoholics, continue to give on-going critical support to anyone for free.

Since my mom’s father, Anthony Korzun, was an abusive alcoholic, though he died before I was born, my brothers and I attended some Alanon meetings to get educated, knowing that these addictions affect offspring genetically. I wanted to find out why I found myself engaged to two magnificent men who turned out to be alcoholics even though I don’t drink. I prefer medicinals from Nature, the taste of fresh organic juices, sparkling cider and sparkling minds.

SPIRITS!

The spiritual side of AA was inspired by Switzerland’s Carl Jung who remarked that “‘alcohol’ in Latin is ‘spiritus,’ and you use the same word for the highest religious experience, as well as for the most depraving poison.” http://www.sober.org/CarlJung.html

Jung explained that we all have an urge to get high, which is our “urge to merge with Creator.” And if we do not have the opportunity to get high naturally through sports, dance, or some kind of physical activity we love, including gardening, we may consciously or unconsciously seek an artificial high in a bottle of spirits or pills.

For eons, Indigenous peoples have run or kicked balls for days or climbed mountains while on a fast to get high, not unlike Jesus’ wanderings in the desert to help connect with the Great Spirit to get visions for guidance. Jung realized this innate spiritual yearning, which is why AA gets amazing results through helping addicts connect with their “Higher Powers.” Giving gratitude to their Higher Power/God/Creator/Allah for that divine help is also key.

FIVE KEYS TO BEING PSYCHOLOGICALLY HEALTHY

Jung’s other major mindshift, which made him the “Father of Modern Psychology,” happened while traveling to India, Africa and America around the turn of the last century looking for a model of a healthy psychological person. While living with a Pueblo Indian family in New Mexico, he found the healthy prototype he was seeking. Jung’s “Man and His Dreams” video, which I saw at Colorado’s Telluride Library, described how he discovered the five keys to being psychologically healthy through these down-to-earth original Americans who have doggedly protected their sacred dances and traditions. Through them he realized the importance of balance, harmony and intuition, and he went on to caution modern humans against relying too heavily on science and logic, and not enough on spiritual activities that take us beyond material goals.

By living according to their more gratifying traditional ways, Jung said that one could see joy written on the faces of the Pueblo people, despite all they had been through. Here are those psychological elements he learned, which MUST be incorporated into all schools if we want to create healthy happy generations:
1. Daily Physical Education classes taught by credentialed PE teachers: So kids can get high naturally through a variety of sports, dances, and activities that develop social and leadership skills, good sportsmanship and intuition.
2. Walks or hikes in Nature,(especially led by Native guides to see Nature through their eyes), to heal and replenish our batteries and develop intuition. Plus Organic gardening.
3. Art Classes: Expressing who we are though some kind of artistic activity.
4. Teachers and family leaders sharing with children that to feel wonderful we need to find and give back our unique gift for the greater good of all, be Guardians of Nature, and find ways to serve others regularly.
5. And the importance of giving gratitude for all the gifts we have received, including from Creator, Mother Earth and the Sun.

Therefore, as I instinctively said while serving on four Presidents Councils on Fitness and Sport, starting with Nixon and Ford, that we must better educate the public to understand the importance of PE. That sports for girls and boys are not just fun, they are the key to our physical health and full potential, which the Greeks knew. Having also led the DC March for Title 1X – Equal opportunity for women in school sport and education – I said we need to urge schools to expand their PE Budgets to have daily PE. Now we know that cutting PE in a crunch is not a sane option. And thanks to Jung we also know the same is true for the Arts.

THE GOOD NEWS is there is a solution to ensure that there are plenty of on-going funds for real human needs, including safe renewable energy, health care, agriculture, housing, and education, especially PE and the Arts for substance abuse prevention. This is the moment to INSIST our representatives reallocate billions of nuclear funds for these dire community needs as they finalize our Debt Ceiling Budget Negotiations, by supporting the “Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Economic and Energy Conversion Act – HR 1334.” Just click or cut and paste here: http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5372/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=6172

Jung witnessed that tribal people who grow up in traditional ways have a potent spirituality where miracles happen. They seek a balance of body, mind and spirit (like Olympians)- though it has been very challenging these last 150 years. They hold God higher than money, power and possessions, and maintain a spiritual connection to Nature, as St Francis did.

AA helps access some of that potency through humbly calling on one’s “Higher Powers,” where everyone receives the guidance needed to also problem solve all the challenges that we are facing in these Earth changing times. The wise ones say that getting rid of addictions is key to raising our vibrations to have the highest outcome no matter what happens.

Betty showed a sizable percentage of Americans and humanity how they can be happier, responsible Earth Citizens, while buying us all a little more time to restore Earth’s life support systems. Therefore, her legacy is immeasurable.

Hail also to the tribes, Carl Jung, AA and other group supports and rehab centers everywhere for their critical roles in raising generations of happier, more responsible Earth Guardians.

Native Americans, like most Indigenous peoples, have less enzymes to process sugar. Therefore, it is befitting that Betty’s wake up call, in turn, is helping more people understand, including the tribes, how to help heal one of the world’s greatest challenges, alcohol, a sugar. Especially since our tribes are now surrounded by people having the highest sugar diet in the world, when there are healthy herbal sweetener alternatives used by many countries that do not raise blood sugar. For example, the South American tribes discovered the sweet leaves of the Stevia plant that the Spanish then spread. Whereas regular consumption of high levels of processed sugar cane, beats, and corn syrups, hidden in most American processed foods, especially in most sodas, raises and imbalances our blood sugar and make children especially vulnerable to alcoholism, obesity and diabetes.

Natural sugars like honey, maple syrup and unbleached sugars still have some mineral nutrients and don’t raise and drop our blood sugar levels as much, but they also have 4 grams of sugar per teaspoon, and 15 grams a day is the recommended healthy limit. So it was a shock when the Rachel Ray Show revealed this year that most Americans have been consuming 168 grams of sugar a day!

All this gives extra meaning to another blessing following Betty’s coming clean. The U.S. Government stopped the practice in some regions of paying tribal men with bottles of alcohol/sugar, and started paying them with money for family food and uplifting community activities, such as training expenses for one of our Native American Olympic Hopefuls.

As part of making amends to heal Canada’s abusive boarding school history with their First Nations, similar to our Native Americans, their government wisely spends millions a year on Native sports opportunities, including developing future Olympians in snowboarding, hockey… This has been effective in preventing their similar depression, substance abuse and suicide epidemics by lifting their self esteem, teamwork, job opportunities and joy. For example, their Gwich’in First Nations XC Olympic twins, Shirley and Sharon Firth, pricelessly inspire and teach kids in their Northwest Territories to ski.

Supporting tribal sport opportunities – government or private – would be good collective karma for any country as we approach 2012, to also help prevent “2,000 tribes a year going extinct,” reported the U.N..

While America’s Indian Health Services has some AA programs and tribes have some PE and sports programs, it is sadly inadequate to heal our history since abuses, including alcoholism, are passed on generationally. Therefore, more support for sports would be a godsend to finally seriously address this missing link – the psychological health part of alcohol prevention. It would especially lift their spirits by giving a handful of our struggling Native American Champions a real chance to realize their dreams of competing in the 2012 London and 2014 Russian Olympics, including in many of the sports their ancestors helped invent. (More on NAOTF.org)

That would be a beautiful way to show appreciation for their tribal gifts to America and humanity, which First Lady Betty helped us remember. To prevent mass extinctions, the UN is now listening to and following the wise strategies of Indigenous Peoples, particularly the Bolivian mission and Native Americans. See http://billionaires.forbes.com/article/0a5dcYsfvv0Ns/quotes?q=

Thanks to the delightful experience of skiing twice with President Ford in Vail in 1975 and 76, while prepping the Amateur Sports Act, I was Betty’s guest at their family quarters at the White House with David Kennerly, their Pulitzer Prize winning photographer who was kind of a son to them. I found her to be a warm, elegant, sharp, witty compassionate Liberator! David shared some touching moments on Betty’s slightly mischievous liberating side, which led to her dancing on the table of the Cabinet on her last day as First Lady, befitting of one whom we now realize is an Earth hero! http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/12/betty-ford-gilded-cage-meet-free-spirit/

I knew very little about alcohol back then, or the full significance of all her contributions, and only with her passing did I connect ALL these dots, and wish I could have thanked her. Though we know from her magnificent eulogies (on YouTube), she would have said, “A Higher power was responsible for the Betty Ford Center, I am merely an instrument to be used to carry out His plan.” For more of her wisdom, “Betty Ford – Healing and Hope,” is available on Amazon.com

History will remember this First Lady for having the heart of a Lioness in facing her demons and helping America and the World face theirs, bringing more joy to everyone as we spiral upwards into more aware, spiritual Earth Citizens.

In Betty’s honor, I hope that all those worldwide who have benefited by her gift, or who also connected the dots, will continue her work with your priceless gifts to streamline our transformation into a bright New Era where Compassion is Totally in Fashion. That will surely make Mother Earth and Betty smile!

World Prayers, including on June 25th, atop Mt Baldy (Ski Resort near LA), a powerfully energized Holy Mountain, brought the rains that saved Los Alamos. Prayers still needed to protect Ft Calhoun and reactors, fires, floods, drought, and oceans worldwide. Photo Courtesy of Aetherius Society

THE POWER OF GRATITUDE

It was a miracle! Bless all those who prayed, and the rains and winds for cooperating – the winds changed direction. Many worldwide also gave thanks to God/Creator/Allah and Mother Earth for answering their prayers for those gentle rains and breezes that helped firemen avert an unfathomable disaster at Los Alamos that would have harmed our whole Earth Family. The nearby Pueblo tribes also gave thanks for the protection of their sacred sites, archaeological treasures, and watersheds.

People also blessed the rains that fell in Arizona, as well as Texas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana and New Mexico, many responding to the urgent prayer request on June 25, led by Dorothea Stevens of the San Carlos Apache Nation from the Native Brothers and Sisters in the Southwest. They had also invited everyone to unite in prayer with the tribes for the winds and heavenly rains (without lightning please) to protect ALL the people, the plants, animals and firefighters of Arizona and other states. “Pray with us in however way you talk to the Creator,” Stevens said.

Through our foundation’s Native ski and snowboard Programs, North American mountain communities learned that Mother Earth, like people, is even more generous with precipitation – both snow and rain, when we give thanks for them. Plus when we do good deeds, especially healing ones. The ski areas inviting Native youth to enjoy skiing and snowboarding on their beloved ancestral lands, inspired tribal Elders to lead snowdances that have ended snow droughts in North America since Vail asked the Utes to please save them 1963. (Source: http://snow-riders.org/mir.html .)

Native Elders have led raindances for eons, some together with church leaders, that have saved many communities from fires, including Durango and Denver, and I witnessed a Lakota ceremony that aired live on the Dodge radio, which saved the Kansas farmers from an extended drought in 1996. The tribes follow up with prayers or ceremonies, like the Native Elders-led Gratitude Snowdances, hosted by ski areas like Aspen and Telluride, usually result in more snowblessings.

MANY, MANY MORE PRAYERS NEEDED

While so many wildfires have been extinguished by the blessed rains, winds, and firefighters, many, many more prayers are dearly needed to assist all the people and Nature of the Southwest, South, California, Alaska, and everywhere worldwide still on fire or recovering. Here’s map of the 32 “Current Large Fires in America.” (Source http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/lg_fire2.php .)

The droughts in Texas, Oklahoma, and NM that led to these record fires, and other regions are horrific. The New Times reported on July 11 that “the heat and the drought are so bad in this southwest corner of Georgia that hogs can barely eat. Corn, a lucrative crop with a notorious thirst, is burning up in fields. Cotton plants are too weak to punch through soil so dry it might as well be pavement. Farmers with the money and equipment to irrigate are running wells dry in the unseasonably early and particularly brutal national drought that some say could rival the Dust Bowl days.”

The African drought is worse. Millions of families are losing children every day as their families wander for days looking for a camp that might have food or water.

“They all need prayers to balance nature’s building blocks,” say Indigenous Elders and others who pray daily. Los Alamos showed us how prayers by huge numbers of participants, especially on “Holy Mountains,” which we brought to light in our June 25th story, can greatly minimize fires, nuclear threats, and floods happening in America and worldwide. Since wildfires are heating our planet, polluting our oceans and air, and destroying the trees that convert Co2 into our oxygen supply – now dangerously low – daily prayers by our whole Earth Family could phenomenally help ensure that all our children survive and joyfully thrive.

Prayers by anyone, anytime, but especially on these 19 Holy Mountains, can further greatly help revive the oceans, including transmuting the radiation from Fukushima to protect humanity and Nature. It can also help minimize a nuclear threat now happening in America. Nebraska’s Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant just suffered a “catastrophic loss of cooling” after being deluged with flood waters from the Missouri River, with another nuclear plant downstream, which feeds into the Mississippi and the Gulf. This is not being reported by mainstream press.

The American Indian Tribes, led by Lakota Chief Arvol Lookinghorse, have united in praying for the rains to put out the wildfires of Arizona for all the people and Nature, and they invite everyone to join them.

Over the past four decades, many thousands of people of all religions have flocked to the 19 Holy Mountains worldwide to streamline healing Mother Earth and humanity. So spectacular has been the power of people sending pure love from these mountains that ordinary pilgrims and sightseers have had mystical experiences and witnessed powerful rays of pure white light in the area.

There are Holy Mountains in the U.S., Europe, Africa, Australia and NZ. (listed below) In North America, one of the holy mountains is Castle Peak, near Aspen, another Mt. Tallac overlooking Lake Tahoe, Mt. Adams in New Hampshire, and the fourth, Mt Baldy in Southern California’s San Gabriel Mountain Range.

Given these world crises, this June 25, or any time soon, would be an opportune moment to make a pilgrimage to a Holy Mt near you. Mayan Chief Don Alejandro said these kinds of cross-cultural ceremonies that reconnect us to the heart of Mother Earth are key to a smoother 2012. Especially when combined with right action. (See Addenda)

Our encouraging these world pilgrimages to Mt Baldy and other Holy Mountains, complimented the purpose of the Aetherius Society bringing together people of all faiths and backgrounds to join upon a Holy Mountain to cooperate for World Peace. They believe “the changes/challenges that we are seeing around the world are a result of humanity’s karma, as well as the great change of the Mother Earth Herself where she is raising Her vibrations. And prayers can lessen the trauma or intensity of the surface changes so we can better harmonize with the great ‘shift’ that is happening, including increased seismic activity worldwide, especially in the Pacific’s ‘Ring of Fire.’” See their inspiring video: http://sites.google.com/site/worldpeacepilgrimage/ .

HOW TO JOIN A PILGRIMAGE

Mt Baldy, one of the most powerful Holy Mountains, is about 50 minutes east of Los Angeles near Route 66 (210 freeway). Pilgrims in Southern California are meeting at 9 a.m. at the parking lot of Mt Baldy Ski Resort. (ski lift ride is about $12.) The Aetherius Society holds smaller Pilgrimages 4 or 5 times per year where they offer carpooling from their Headquarters on 6202 Afton Place, Hollywood, 3 blocks south of Sunset Blvd, and one block east of Vine.

OPRAH SPOTLIGHTS AUSTRALIA’S “SACRED SITE”

Oprah shared a heart expanding moment on her Australian TV show visiting renowned mystical Ayers Rock/Uluru. “It wasn’t by accident that Oprah attended a ceremony with Aborigine women as they had important work to do there on Uluru,” said Olivia Ellis, a gifted Cherokee Earth healer and wisdomkeeper. For many years she was a student of the late British Astrophysicist-mystic Sir George King, founder of the Aetherius Society.

Researchers in 11 countries and Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, Swiss Kurt Wuthrich, in the YouTube video, “Water: The Great Mystery,” have also put science behind this spirituality. They verified Japanese Dr. Masaru Emoto’s tests how sincere words and feelings like love and appreciation in prayers and tribal ceremonies can purify mountains and oceans…of toxins, by raising the vibration of water or mountains where toxins do not exist, which restores their natural precipitation cycles.

Thank heaven Olivia also told me about the 19 holy mountains throughout the world that were spiritually energized, almost like batteries, in such a way that the “prayers by everyone on them with a heart full of compassion, are magnified thousands of times over, and can literally alter the course of history.”

“Some ‘sacred mountains,’ such as Mt. Shasta, contain energy that can only be utilized by a small number of advanced souls,” said Dr. Ellis, “but these 19 Holy Mountains are easily accessible to all of us, no matter what level of spiritual development. All it takes is a selfless prayer. Anyone of any age and culture can walk upon these 19 powerfully energized mountains and send out prayers that will uplift, heal, and bring peace and healing to every living soul on Mother Earth, and to Mother Earth, Herself.”

“MOTHER EARTH IS A LIVING ENTITY”

Hail to U.N.’s 192 nation states for their landmark interactive dialogue on “harmony with nature” that discussed how we are all interrelated, and that Mother Earth is a living entity, and explored giving Her the same rights as humans, inspired by the recent laws of Ecuador and Indigenous Bolivia.

URGENT REQUEST IN UNITY

Any safe spot you are drawn to on these mountains is a good place to pray on behalf of others. Go to one and pray for the people of Japan, pray for our oceans and air, and join with the tribes in praying so the winds stop and heavenly walls of rain (without lightning please) protects all the people, the plants, animals and firefighters of Arizona and anywhere else, and we pray that all radioactivity be transmuted now. See this happening and joyfully thank Creator in advance. In blessed unity, especially on these holy mountains, everything is possible, as these tragedies are reminding us that we are one family.

THE LAWS OF KARMA

We also pray for all the people who have pushed for or allowed a nuclear reactor(s) to be built in their state or country. I learned through this research that according to the laws of karma, of cause and effect, that they will experience the horrifying results of living near Chernobyl or Fukushima, as the wise ones say ignorance and distractions are no excuse as we were given minds, intuition and discernment. Karma is like a bank account and we have free choice to make good and bad deposits. Another reason I’m doing my part!

Therefore these mountains would also be a perfect place to join with family, friends, groups, including schools, in celebrating Mother Earth’s Heart and all of Her gifts, since these mountains have been revered for eons by Indigenous people who lived near them. And when two or more are gathered, prayers are much stronger. Indigenous Peoples know instinctively to send out great love and appreciation to these magnificent mountains who provide life-giving waters and spiritual energy.

LIVING ON MOUNT BALDY

“My husband Steve and I lived for years at Mt. Baldy’s 6,000 foot level where our cabin looked into the forests on one side and out onto the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island on the other side. We were fortunate to have the Mt. Baldy Zen Center as our neighbor reminding us to be aware of every breath we took. Each morning at 4 a.m. we would be softly awakened by their prayers, the chanting filtering through the sacred grove of trees between our houses. Like the tribes, they know the importance of praying before and during dawn, and how praying at noon and sunset also intensifies prayers,” said Ellis.

“Many people drive up to the ski lift on their way to the top to pray. Edna Spencer, in her 80s, hiked there every week, driving out from Los Angeles on her one day off work. Those unable to go to the top remain in a grove at the top of the lift along a ridge that looks out over the Los Angeles Basin. Great waves of healing pour out to the millions living below that ledge and out to the sea, as do all the Holy Mountains,” said Dr. Ellis.

ENDING THE 7 YEAR DROUGHT

Across the valley from Mt. Baldy are the San Bernardino Mountains, which are joined by an energy link. In 2004, the Big Bear Lake community hosted a Journey of the Heart Gathering to try an ancient alternative to costly toxic cloud seeding, in hopes of ending their devastating seven-year drought that had reduced their lake to a pond. The forests were dying and wildfires were rampant. So they invited Indigenous healers from around the globe, including the Bushmen of the Kalahari.

Judy Gray, producer of the LA Ski Dazzle Show told me on the phone as I was heading to their 2004 Show how their local ski areas were enjoying record snows, business was booming, and the KTLA weatherman thanked the tribes for the “best snow in 50 years.” So I said, “Why don’t we give skiers and boarders at the Show a chance to honor some of the folks who made it happen. She loved the idea and about a dozen of the 200 Red, White, Black and Yellow participants, mainly women, came, took a bow, and shared their miraculous Big Bear Medicine Wheel experience, including Gina Weis, the Big Bear Lake Community organizer. Akima Castineda, a spiritual leader of the coastal Chumash tribe led a Gratitude Snowdance ceremony with his fellow magnificent dancers, which mesmerized many, including my friend/X rival, Nancy Greene, Canadian Olympic legend turned member of Parliament and World Freestyle Champion, Bob Salerno.

That Snowdance Celebration exuded such sincere joyous appreciation that we saw on the Weather Channel the next day it was snowing across the whole West, where the tribes just did snowdances at the major Ski Shows, while being honored as “Colorado, Washington and California’s First Caretakers.” Our Native American Olympic Team Foundation dreamed up this First Caretakers Tour with Bernie Weitschel and his Colorado SnowSports Expo, with organic NUTIVA as a sponsor, thanks to Gary Petersen, Governor Schwarzenegger environmental advisor. More delighted ski areas in all three states were inspired to invite nearby tribal youth to ski and board, especially at Big Bear Lake, where the song, “All I need is a miracle” was coincidentally playing on Snow Summits’ PA system as our group of Native kids arrived to be treated like homecoming heroes. But first they sang and drummed a Snow Gratitude song.

Ellis emphasized that “Mt. Baldy had served as a powerful trigger point for all the sacred sites of this Big Bear Medicine Wheel. Every one of the following Holy Mountains can help you trigger those kinds of gifts and healings for our oceans, Mother Earth, and all who live upon Her.”

Many of these mountains are best climbed in the summer months to avoid excessive wind, cold and snow. To avoid all unnecessary risk, wear appropriate clothing and take food, water and equipment that might be needed, and go with a friend, and let your friends or families know your route. The wise ones say that prayers on these holy mountains can amplify prayers comparable to 3,000 other sincere people praying with you, so you will be in good company. They are a kind of a special dispensation to give Mother Earth and humanity a helping hand through this challenging shift to the prophesied glorious 1,000 years of Peace.

Any body of water is also a sacred site that augments prayers, especially the oceans. But God bless Dr. King and the Aetherius Society for helping make humanity aware of these holy mountains and make them more available to us. People of all cultures have done sacred Pilgrimages for eons. So if you ever wanted to experience doing a pilgrimage, doing one to a Holy Mountain as we approach 2012, would be a phenomenal choice, while getting a beautiful workout where we sweat out toxins, which also raises our vibration and enhances our creative juices up there next to God.

OFF-THE-GRID WIND AND SOLAR ENERGY – KEY TO LIFE

Dr. King always strongly emphasized the dangers of the death toxin, radiation, and the importance of taking responsibility. Today that means insisting our representatives shift our countries’ 2012 Budgets to safe renewable energy NOW. Especially to have sources of off-the-grid electricity “to prevent extended blackouts across possibly half of America for weeks or months from major solar flares in 2012,” NASA now warns us.

By the U.S. and other countries following New Mexico’s lead in building off-the-grid wind and solar energy projects near reactors, we can together prevent more meltdowns in America and other countries by giving reactors extended emergency backup power – instead of 48 hours of most reactors. This strategy could have prevented Fukushima’s disaster that may make Japan uninhabitable, along with poisoning our oceans and humanity. On June 16th, the NY Times reported that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission task force following the Fukushima catastrophe addressed the weakest safety link: “It is time to prepare for the possibility of an extended blackout.” (REF: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/16/business/energy-environment/16nrc.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha23 .)

The Aetherius Society is planning more group pilgrimages to Mt Baldy in July, August and September, and warmly welcomes all. Special thanks to Gene Mulvihill’s NJ Mountain Creek Ski Resort and the Ute Mt Casino for helping make this possible.

Here are the Holy Mountains nearest you, as well as the political education and action we must take. In unity, our Earth Family can create a more conscious flourishing New Dawn.

10 MINUTES TOWARD A “NUCLEAR FREE” NEW DAWN FOR MOTHER EARTH

EARTH CITIZENS, Please take one minute to tell the world’s leader’s to cut nukes, not schools, jobs and healthcare: http://cutnukes.globalzero.org .

AMERICANS, Please Call your two Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them:

1. To end $50 BILLION + TAXPAYER LOANS FOR NEW NUCLEAR REACTORS –small, large or in-between through supporting Senate bill, S. 512.

2. To support the bill to END CORPORATE OIL Plus NUCLEAR SUBSIDIES, AND TAX LOOPHOLES for the most profitable corporations.

3. NO to Senate bill 953 and any other legislation that recklessly fast-tracks oil drilling in devastated Gulf and pristine Alaska. To keep contaminating our “dying” oceans is suicide!

4. To support and co-sponsor the Safe Chemicals Act S847 so America gets up to E.U. standards of banning toxins to save our children and oceans: US now bans 5, and Europe 35.

COLORADANS, tell Senators Mark Udall and Bennett NO to the Canadian URANIUM MILL in Paradox.

You are blessed!!

Thanks to this surprising mindshift by UN leaders and participants, the day also ended in an emergency call to action where the Indigenous, kids, renewable energy, and teamwork play key roles to veer us off our current path toward extinction. Fortunately the UN is not alone. (http://www.unmultimedia.org/tv/webcast/2011/04/general-assembly-interactive-dialogue-on-harmony-with-nature-english.html).

“WE NEED TO PROTECT THE HABITAT THAT SUSTAINS US” – Pope Benedict XV1

Pope Benedict’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences came to the same conclusion in May, not just for their 1.8 billion Catholics. But as a result of alarming new evidence found by his 80 international scientists of diverse faiths, that global warming is increasing much faster than expected and in some areas gone over the tipping point, the German Pontiff made this bold “call to action for all people in all nations:”

“If we as inhabitants want to ensure our rights to daily bread, fresh air to breathe and clean water to drink, and want justice and peace, we need to protect the habitat that sustains us,” said the German Pontiff. Now called the “Green Pope” for also switching to solar energy at the Vatican, he urged everyone to help reduce the cause of climate change.” (http://www.kpbs.org/news/2011/may/10/catholic-church-goes-green-counter-global-warming/ ).

“WE NEED A WARTIME MOBILIZATION SHIFT FROM FOSSIL FUELS TO RENEWABLES”

Lester Brown, founder of World Watch, which holds its annual conference in Aspen, pleaded in March for “a wartime mobilization shift from fossil oil and coal, which are heating up the planet and rapidly reducing our ability to feed the world, to renewable wind and solar.”

The Union of Concerned Scientists, including Stanford’s late shared Nobel Peace Prize winner, Dr. Stephen Schneider, partner to the North American Elders, also warned us that “nuclear is NOT clean energy,” and the 400 reactors worldwide are major contributors to heating up our planet. By switching our 2012 Budgets to renewables, we have the power and responsibility to reduce melting of our glaciers, killing our forests, freaky weather, floods, droughts, and oil extraction-related spills, earthquakes and tsunamis that led to the Fukashima meltdown poisoning our whole Earth Family.

America is ranked 7th out of the G8 countries in overall green progress. Yet Brown says that wind power from just North Dakota, Kansas and Texas, could quickly power America! Plus U.S. Secretary of Energy Chu said “our solar energy potential is enough to supply twice as much power as America needs.” President Obama did brilliantly pledge $150 billion in renewable energy projects for developing countries over the next 10 years. A poll shows that most Americans prefer safe renewable energy, since it saves trillions on wars and catastrophes that can instead be used to lift up communities and pay down the national debt. REF: http://enewschannels.com/2011/05/17/enc13131_173734.php ..

All these leaders have been inspired by Indigenous Peoples. For example in 2008, RobertJohn Knapp, a Seneca Elder-scholar, was joined by representatives of six European countries singing and blessing the streams, much like St Francis, as they followed them to their Rome meeting with Pope Benedict. At the end of the exchange Knapp presented the Pontiff with a staff and requested he ask all the religions to help clean up our waters. Shortly thereafter, the Pontiff declared, “It is a sin to poison the water,” as it is suicidal. Also why Popes John Paul 11 and Benedict have urged farmers to follow Nature’s Laws and say “No” to suicidal GMO seeds.

MOTHER EARTH’S RIGHTS

The Pontiff was likely further empowered by the UN taking seriously the Bolivian Law giving our “beloved” Mother Earth Rights, enacted in January by their Indigenous President Evo Morales. The Vancouver Sun reported that “the law recognizes a country’s natural resources as ‘blessings.’ And to grant Earth the rights to life, water, clean air, and to repair livelihoods affected by human activities; and the right to be free from pollution.”

Ecuador’s Constitution of 2008 states that nature’s rights should be taken into account in all planning activities, including the maintenance, regeneration, and restoration of its cycles, structures, functions and evolutionary processes. REF: http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N10/489/57/PDF/N1048957.pdf?OpenElement

Nobel Laureates Eric Chivian, Muhammad Yunus, and Joseph Stiglitz agree that “Human beings are an inseparable part of Mother Earth, and life depends on uninterrupted functioning of Her cycles.”

Together the UN participants painted a holistic picture of a “new world resplendent with life” and urged a shift from an economic system that regards nature as a commodity that we have the right to exploit, to a paradigm that respects Mother Earth’s rights and intrinsic value. Instead of the GNP as the measure of progress, they proposed measuring the “quality of life, well being, and the Gross National Happiness,” pioneered by Ecuador, France and Bhutan.

Humanity is at a crossroads: Why should we only respect the laws of human beings and not those of nature? Why do we call the person who kills his neighbor a criminal, but not he who extinguishes a species or contaminates a river or a system as a whole, if all of us, absolutely all of us, rely on the life of the Earth System? asked Pablo Solon, Bolivia’s Ambassador to the UN.

Hail to the participants who included some of Earth’s deepest thinkers from the member states and renowned authors on the panel: Vandana Shiva (India), Peter Brown (Canada), Cormac Cullinan (South Africa), Riane Eisler (United States), Paul-Bertrand Barets (France), Gilberto Gallopin (Argentina), Ivo Havinga (UN) Mathis Wackernagel (Switzerland). Besides the Bolivians, there was a representative of the UN’s Indigenous Peoples Partnership, as a preview of Native Elders further helping light the way for humanity at RIO-20 next June, which was part of the 2012 prophesy.

A COOPERATIVE PARTNERSHIP MODELED AFTER NATURES LAWS

Brown and Eisler explained why our current Neo Classical economics model of dominance at any cost to humanity and Nature is falling apart. Brown said, “Today’s financial paradigm is not scientifically based since the economic indicators are not connected to Earth’s “natural capital,” defined as goods and services from Nature essential for life, which U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Barnaki even admits!”

Eisler explained that politicians worldwide keep this medieval model going because it benefits a few at the expense of the many…virtual slaves. “‘Trickle Down Economics’ comes from peasants getting the crumbs falling off the king’s table. Mainstream economics is unsustainable because it fails to include the critical life-giving, healthy home environment and care giving contributions of women and Mother Earth, which is sacred.” UK researchers estimated that “Housewives should be paid £30,000″ (about $45,000). Malaysian Moderator Martin Khor added, “A maid’s salary is listed on government balance sheets, but when she marries it disappears, though contributing the same work” – why women’s value is discounted. The participants agreed “we need to make a cultural shift to a cooperative partnership system, an Earth Democracy, modeled after Nature’s laws to survive as a species.”

A sign of this economic mindshift is Citibank and Google spending $110 billion on authentically clean wind energy to power 450,000 Southern California homes to help restore its blue sky air quality, its Natural Capital.

REPAIRING OUR GREATEST THREAT TO NATIONAL AND GLOBAL SECURITY

Don’t we need a combination of Earth Rights and Keynesian economics, where governments create full employment, which got America out of the First Depression? It addressed people’s needs, not wants, and spread the wealth more fairly. A green job mobilization could repair our National, and in unity, our Global Security.

Globally, Venezuela, Saint Vincent, the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda were also leaders in supporting the “Mother Earth Rights” initiative, some having similar Nature-protecting laws. Hail to these Latin Nations and the orchestrators of Harmony with Nature Day: UN’s Bolivian Mission, the UN Division of Sustainable Development and the UN Office of the President of the General Assembly. Together they showed humanity what living in harmony with Mother Earth looks like, so She can keep us around!

The acting President of the UN General Assembly, Botswana Ambassador Charles Ntwaagae said, “We must all recognize that we are part of nature and simply living to fulfill our desires at Nature’s expense is not sustainable.”

United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Ms. Asha-Rose Migiro said, “There is much we can learn from the wisdom and philosophy of indigenous peoples”…”A holistic view of environmental, social and economic well-being is indeed the only route to truly sustainable development”.

Khor called ‘Harmony with Nature’ an extremely important phrase that resonates with most of us, and the “Secretary-General’s report on it as quite remarkable and unusual and I encourage the public to read it.” REF: http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N10/489/57/PDF/N1048957.pdf?OpenElement

EGYPTIANS HAD STRICT LAWS AGAINST FOULING THE WATER AND LAND

We all have Indigenous ancestors, and those who kept the tribal ways of living at one with Nature and learning from mistakes, have had the longest Civilization. Next, the Egyptian Civilization lasted 3,000 years because the Pharaohs and Queens had “strict laws against fouling the water and land.” And yet the United States, home to the UN headquarters, is only 400 years old.

Native Elders like Knapp were surprised and happy that speakers in the webcast now agree that “Human beings are an interdependent part of Nature and to keep the balance we must take only what we need and leave the rest for future generations, and take responsibility for doing the right thing.”

PRACTICAL AND SPIRITUAL SOLUTIONS KEY TO RESTORING MOTHER EARTH

Renewing Earth also takes spiritual solutions. The African and Venezuelan leaders talked about “the important role that the Indigenous Peoples play with their pool of ancient knowledge.” “By connecting with the ancestral and Nature spirits through their ceremonies they have protected and countered the destruction of their sacred forests and waters, while promoting respect for Nature and living frugally.”

On the road to Rio+20, the UN invites groups to take an active role in the promotion of our shared environment. Given our strong ‘sports bridge’ between the cultures, UN’s Sustainability officer Maria Mercedes Sanchez invited our Native American Olympic Team Foundation to inspire communities around the world to live in more harmony with Nature by reaching out to their Indigenous Elders to lead Gratitude Snowdances (and Oceandances), which we have been spreading across North America and Europe for 16 years. We found that weather miracles do the most to wake people up to remember our earth-honoring Indigenous roots. (http://snow-riders.org/mir.html)

Scientists in 11 countries and Swiss Nobel Prize winner, Kurt Wuthrich, have verified the tests of Japan’s Water Guru, Dr. Masura Emoto, how giving “love and appreciation” to water clears it. Just as loving prayers, ceremonies and joyful dances of the world’s tribes lift the vibration of the mountains and oceans where toxins cannot exist. Mayan Chief Don Alejandro says that ideally cross-cultural ceremonies led by Native Elders or trusted shaman, which reconnect us to the heart of Mother Earth, are key to smoother 2012. More on these ceremonies in our “UN International Mother Earth Day” story. http://nativevoices.org/articles/MotherEarthDayInitiative.pdf)

Anytime we express those sentiments to our Mother Earth in thoughts, prayers, ceremonies, we are purifying and restoring Her natural cycles that we have put in painful chaos.

EDUCATING HUMANITY THROUGH THE KIDS

Dr. Emoto says the best way to get this message everywhere is through the children at schools since they then educate their parents who love them. The Venezuelan and Chinese representatives mentioned how they are helping educate their students about this ancient Indigenous view of Earth. Students worldwide watching China’s magnificent ancient drumming section of the Olympic opening ceremonies, and the origins part of the Australia, US, Norway, Japan, Canada…Games, were introduced to that mindshift. IOC President Jacques Rogge intuitively wrote as part of their Eco Agenda 21, “to include more Indigenous Peoples in the Olympics to enhance the Games sustainability.”

Another way we found in the U.S. to bring this feeling of sacredness of Nature to mainstream is through Native Americans leading eco hikes in schools like Telluride and Vail, so children can see Nature through their eyes. (Plus Aspen SkiCo wants the Utes to lead their popular eco tours). Similarly, six year olds in Sweden are taken on hikes and become bonded with Nature and therefore guardians for life. Karmically, we are bound to provide Earth’s children with our best tools for this new partnership way, to help them survive and thrive.

U.S. high schools students just invented an earth-friendly 300 mile per gallon electric car. So imagine if the 192 nation states urged schools worldwide to share highlights of this UN webcast, what it could do to create a wiser, appreciative, vibrantly green partnership with Mother Earth, our only Home. (Plus showing the stunning multi-lingual YouTube video “HOME” and “Water: The Great Mystery”)

Several panelists summed up the feeling of this “enlightening day” in quoting Gandhi. “The world has enough resources for eveybody’s needs, but not to meet the greed of a few.” And theologian Father Thomas Berry who said, “We must go hand in hand with Mother Nature into the future, or not go at all.”

The UN gathering also reached these conclusions: “In agriculture we can meet more needs of more people by following Nature’s laws as proven by UN scientists.” “And the member states and everyone need to help create the political will to recreate our Botanical Garden.”

40 YEARS OF PROMISES BY OUR PRESIDENTS OF ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Millions of Earth Citizens are rising up to get true democratic rights in the Middle East and Africa, though the new Egyptian military regime tortured and forced female protestors to take virginity tests. (May 31 HuffPostAOLNews.)

On May 29, German DW World TV revealed these rallies have spread to Spain, with massive tent cities protesting their government SERVING THE CORPORATIONS and not the people. Sound familiar to your country? The Germans and the Swiss have risen up and are shutting down nuclear reactors. Thousands of protestors in India and Japan have led the shift from nuclear to renewables in Asia. Most of the protestors are students thanks to getting educated as never before via the internet and teachers inspiring kids in environmental classes.

“FOOLED ME 8 TIMES…” – JON STEWART

Jon Stewart brilliantly revealed on the Daily Show how “eight of our U.S. Presidents spanning four decades, have unkept promises to our people on implementing energy independence through renewables.” All Academy Award winning talk with little or no action while fully knowing we were headed for more and more catastrophic wars, oil spills and meltdowns. Dirty energy and their catastrophes make more profits for the few than a sustainable harmonious world. “Fool me once, shame on them. Fool me twice shame on me. Fool me 8 times…” That is why this kind of education and awareness is key. REF: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-june-16-2010/an-energy-independent-future

Our Earth Family who mainly wants to live in peace and harmony with each other and Nature, MUST spread the word and create a tsunami of “tough love” to enlighten and insist our political leaders addicted to big oil and nuclear payoffs, fund and implement massive renewable energy projects. Thank heaven that the “Harmony with Nature Day” participants and likely those watching worldwide, came to realize at this 11:59th hour that “Shifting to Green Energy as part of partnering with Mother Earth is no longer an option for our survival, but a condition.”

HOPE FOR A NUCLEAR FREE WORLD

Tribal Elders and Nobel Prize winners agree that war and nuclear radiation (plus Gulf oil spills) are the greatest threat to water, Mother Earth and humanity, having destroyed three worlds/civilizations. See how the UN’s Disarmament Commission is making steps to end this threat. And each of us as Earth Citizens, MUST INSIST that our leaders shift our 2012 Budgets from nuclear energy loans and oil subsidies for off shore drilling, to renewable energy. Both are critical for restoring Mother Earth and her “dying” oceans so She may flourish, and therefore our Right to Exist. More on this UN breakthrough in Part 2.

10 MINUTES of “RIGHT ACTION” TOWARD A “NUCLEAR FREE” RENEWED WORLD

Please call your two Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them:

1. To end the $50 BILLION in TAXPAYER LOANS FOR NEW NUCLEAR REACTORS –small, large or in-between through supporting Senate bill, S. 512.

2. To support the bill to END CORPORATE OIL, plus say NO to NUCLEAR SUBSIDIES AND ANY TAX LOOPHOLES for the most profitable corporations.

3. To say NO to Senate bill 953 and any other legislation that recklessly fast-tracks oil drilling in the devastated Gulf and pristine Alaska. To keep contaminating our “dying” oceans is suicide!

4. If you are a Coloradan – congrats on stopping the Pueblo nuclear plant – NOW tell Senators Mark Udall and Bennett NO to the Canadian URANIUM MILL in Paradox that builds nuclear bombs components.

Tell your representative to say YES to House Bill HR1334 that redirects $50 BILLION annual funds FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAMS towards renewables and community needs, and please co-sponsor it. Just Click here http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/6357/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=6392 .

And please protect America, like Europe, from GMOs by clicking: http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/sign/dr_hubers_warning/ .

The UN, Pope, Scientists, Indigenous and your children bless you!

How can we ensure choosing the Prophesy of Peace and Prosperity for 1,000 years over Nuclear Energy suicide? By boldly enlightening and urging our representatives to learn the LESSONS of Japan and the Gulf we have encapsulated, as those who don’t are doomed to repeating them. And then strongly insisting our leaders STOP serving the nuclear and oil corporations, and start serving the American People through emergency prioritizing in the 2012 Budget of massive clean, safe renewable wind, solar and biothermal energy projects that do no harm to Mother Earth and humanity.

Here are some untapped sources of funds to restore our National Security: Forbes Magazine just revealed that three out of four of the “Most Profitable Corporations in the World” and America are oil companies. British Petroleum (BP) was 4th this catastrophic year!

“IT WOULD BE UN-AMERICAN”

CNN revealed at the April 12 Senate hearings about cutting off oil subsidies, (“which would not raise prices at the pump”), the unbelievably arrogant response by a CEO, “It would be un-American.” (Meaning, we oil companies have been manipulating the public for a half century and getting away with murder, and don’t want you, Congress, to cut off the wonderful gravy train we are addicted to from subsidies and tax loopholes we obviously don’t need.)

A Senator asked the remaining oil CEOs if they too felt that stopping subsidies was un-American. They all sat in silence. Then Senator Schumer asked, “Is your subsidy more important than financial aid to students to go to college,” a CEO replied, “It’s a very difficult question for me. It’s two totally different questions.” Senator Jay Rockefeller summed it up, “Oil companies are deeply and profoundly committed to sharing nothing.”

Here is the expose on another untapped source: “Ten Giant U.S. Companies Avoid Paying Income Taxes,” including several oil companies.

These CEO’s mainly said, “It would be unfair to raise our taxes,” meaning we are happy paying no taxes and prefer to keep the status quo of American Families continuing to shoulder U.S. taxes, despite already working too hard just to put food on the table.

MOST OF U.S. TAX MONIES GO TO NUCLEAR ARMS DEALERS

Most Americans, like me, also had no idea that we have been giving $50 billion of our annual U.S. Budget, including 2012, unless we act, to nuclear arms dealers. “We are spending more on defense than all our potential enemies combined, and we’d be safer redirecting a portion of it” to lift communities, say retired top U.S. military leaders.

Thanks to China redirecting defense monies toward Green energy – spending 1/6th as much as the U.S. on its military, and investing twice as much on clean energy technology, they just proudly unveiled their massive wind and solar projects.

“LET’S GET TO THE PEACE NOW”

CNN also reported that at the celebrations following Bin Laden’s death, the signs were predominantly, “Let’s get to the Peace NOW.” Since nuclear and oil energy are both related to war, here is the ideal chance to channel any testosterone/outrage from these revelations to create the America of our dreams. For the first time this is possible now that the depth of all this manipulation and greed is finally being exposed.

Since our leaders have been getting part of this gravy train “for reelection campaigns,” enough of us must passionately plead to their conscience/higher angels or reelection dreams to shift these elements of our 2012 U.S. and state budgets:

2012 BUDGET FOR THE “NEW AMERICAN DREAM”

Shift the $50 billion for nuclear weapons, plus $50 billion in canceled nuclear loan guarantees, plus the hefty canceled subsidies and tax breaks to oil companies and the other most profitable corporations (those harming Americans, water and air paying highest), to streamline starting to provide Americans with the safe authentically clean wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and tidal turbine energy we need, say experts. Plus there is enough left over to address dire community needs, student loans, and stimulate millions of green jobs, including producing the 300 miles per gallon electric or water-powered cars. And to restore the Gulf, Pacific and Arctic oceans, make amends to countries wrongly bombed to reduce terrorism, provide free natural healthcare for Americans, and pay down our National debt.

Coincidentally, the Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club are pushing for $100 billion for clean renewable energy, which could create 2 million green jobs in just two years. Their “Green Recovery” program combines tax credits, loan guarantees and public investments.

In the words of the late wise Bob Marley, “It’s time to get up and stand up for our rights.” See how you can “click” to finalize the budgets being finalized NOW at the end. Together we have the power to vibrantly restore our Mother Earth. Here is what also convinced Japan and Germany to shift to renewables.

WIND ENERGY SAVING JAPANESE

As we saw in Japan, disruption of the electric grid brought their country to a standstill. It destroyed their reactors, radiation leakage is killing their marine life and spreading to other countries, and fallout killing or sickening millions of their citizens, and in its wake. Given that none of their wind turbines were harmed by their catastrophes, wind energy has been a Godsend to the Japanese People.

Therefore, funding Wind Energy in our super windy Dakotas and other states is a sane strategic way to protect and power America. Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu revealed at their US Tribal Energy Summit on May 5, that their National Renewable Energy Lab updated findings that the “Wind Energy in Indian Country could provide 32 percent of U.S. annual electric generation.” Perfect, since the Great Plains’ Intertribal COUP plan recently won a World Clean Energy Oscar in Switzerland since it shows respect to Mother Earth by not digging into, unbalancing, exploding or polluting Her, or killing Her children. Businesses like Massachusetts’ Berkshire East ski area are realizing impossible dreams – no electricity bills – with their “wind mills.”

According to the President of the Institute of Energy, Dr. Arjun Makhijani, “The US could have low-carbon energy without nuclear power, and that wind and solar energy would be cheaper and safer than nuclear since there is no risk of catastrophic downside and phenomenal cleanup costs.” The Lab backed that up in also revealing that “the solar energy potential in Indian Country is twice the total amount of electricity the U.S. generates per year.” That is why Secretary Chu reached out to also partner with Indian Reservations to also help solve their 50% unemployment compared to 9% nationally. A win-win!

REQUIRE RENEWABLE ENERGY AS EMERGENCY BACKUP

Having a mere 48 hours of electrical battery backup at Japan’s reactors, located on a fault line, was suicidal, as well as a trillion dollar OOPS that we are all paying for! Until the rest of our reactors can be phased out, each plant should immediately provide a renewable off-the-grid electric source next to it, as emergency backup. If Japan’s wind turbines were located near their reactors, they could have been saved and meltdowns avoided.

Senator Tom Udall and New Mexico Jr. College are heroically protecting their “Land of Enchantment” and humanity through quickly building four solar projects plus a wind one next to their nuclear plants. Solar and wind can then gradually take over safely serving the electrical needs of the region.

Secretary Chu shared with tribal leaders that “we’re also pursuing potentially revolutionary approaches to large-scale batteries. These batteries could eventually store enough power to supply a village. This could someday mean that villages that are not connected to the grid could have reliable electricity through their own solar and wind power.”

These batteries could also be emergency backup in every city and near reactors where renewable projects would not work.

AS A MATTER OF WORLD SECURITY

As a matter of Local, State, National and World Security, as it takes a Village, the Elders strongly recommend first funding: 1. Renewable projects next to reactors on or near fault lines. 2. then reactors located in the Pacific’s Ring of Fire. 3. near any coast lines, especially the Gulf and Alaska painfully struggling from oil spills. 4. within 200 miles of major populations. 5. near superfund sites, plus uranium mills or mines already contaminated.

The Elders also say the U.S. needs to establish the shut down date for all reactors, mills and mines, as Japan and Germany did, since scientists agree plants are even more at risk from the elevated seismic activity worldwide and upheavals triggered by the 2012-related solar flares.

PREVENTING MORE TSUNAMIS!

Oil is Mother Earth’s brilliant lubricant between Her shifting Continental tectonic plates, and offshore drilling caves in or unbalances the ocean floors that triggered the quakes and Japan and Thailand’s trillion dollar tsunamis. Therefore budgeting massive renewable energy projects now can guarantee enough energy to realistically reverse Obama’s May decisions to allow offshore drilling again in the Gulf, Atlantic, and pristine regions of Alaska!

Scientists and Elders agreed that our oceans were “dying” even before the catastrophic hits in the Gulf and Japan. “The Pacific Ocean is Radioactive Garbage Dump” story uncovers that “the Pacific is now so radioactive that we cannot safely eat any fish.”

The Tokyo Electric Power Company admitted on May 15 that the “radioactive materials leaking into the ocean near the Fukushima plant rose to 32,000 times the legal limit of cesium-134.” Therefore the Pacific and Gulf may not withstand another catastrophe.

As a last ditch effort to salvage our oceans it would be wise to shut down all off shore drilling and all reactors next to oceans immediately to veer off our suicidal path. That is why even Pope Benedict declared in 2008, “It is a sin to poison the water.” The Elders say “when the animals are gone, we are gone.” If drilling is not stopped in Alaska, also say goodbye to our surprising animal friends in the Arctic wonderland.

ENOUGH SAFE ENERGY TO POWER AMERICA

Today, if an upheaval takes out our electric grid, like Japan’s, our gas stations would shut down, along with clean water and food supplies. Therefore a huge source of earth-friendly off the grid electric power is critical to also keep the pumps working while also prepping for the electric car boom. Thanks to high school students safeguarding their future since we adults haven’t yet, they invented “the most efficient electric car ever made – 300 miles/gallon.”

Jack Chrysler, the grandson, told the kids at our Ute Cultural Camp in Telluride that “Only greed – Detroit and oil companies – has slowed down producing electric cars with that kind of mileage.”

AMERICA’S RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS

There are more signs of hope for America with many renewable projects being developed on private lands. Plus Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar has given priority status to 19 renewable energy projects in the 12 western states on our BLM lands. It includes 9 solar, 5 wind, and 5 geothermal as part of the Administration’s efforts to diversify the Nation’s energy portfolio done in an environmentally responsible manner in collaboration with the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service. Therefore no nuclear reactors are allowed on our public lands. Announcement of 2011 Priority Renewable Energy Projects This is a good start, but we now need sizable projects in every state.

AFFORDABLE SOLAR

Following the success of the Navajo/Dine model communities in Arizona, four solar energy areas were identified by the Interior in Colorado’s sunshine state. This is a timely alternative to the nuclear plant rejected by the people in Pueblo, Colorado in April, and the proposed Canadian uranium mill in Paradox.

Telluride’s Rabbi Michael Saftler said, “This foreign company openly plans to sell its highly profitable yellow cake, the component for nuclear bombs, to Asia, including Korea. We are putting our National Security at risk!”

As a ski instructor, REALTOR and guardian of the wetlands and tribes there, Rabbi Saftler also warned, “Because of payoffs, this foreign corporation is not even required to comply with our Clean Air, Water, Health and Tribal Cultural Laws. They also don’t pay Coloradans a royalty, leaving tax payers with the multi-million dollar clean up bills. The radiation from this mill located next to a nuclear waste dump that has already been leaking into the water and air for decades, risks plummeting land and home prices, huge healthcare costs, and losing thousands of jobs in our Ski Mecca since the uranium leaders say ‘this could resurrect our industry and reopen the many abandoned uranium mines.’ Learn from how uranium mining devastated families of the nearby Navajo Nation. And please say NO to the Paradox mill being decided now.”

Following the greatest disasters in history in the Gulf and Japan from oil and nuclear energy, why isn’t our government passionately working on funding massive renewable energy projects like other countries to protect the American people? While it would be nice to keep thinking our leaders have our welfare at heart, it is time for some tough love.

CONSCIOUS CHOICES

Given that most Americans do not buy clothes and shoes that are made by children in sweatshops now, why on earth don’t we include that consciousness in our choice of energy? We have helped those oil and nuclear companies with blood all over them be the most profitable in the world, when there have been cheaper, Earth-friendly alternatives. Therefore we also have blood on us, and for the sake of our children, isn’t it time to wash it off through right action?

Chernobyl’s uncovered death toll is now 1.4 million, which is also expected from those in the fallout path of Japan’s similar meltdown. Thanks to learning from Chernobyl’s lessons and the friendship between the Swedish Prime Minister and Onondaga Iroquois Chief Oren Lyons, Sweden restored its integrity with Nature to protect its highest standard of living by shutting down its plant in 2005 in favor of renewables.

MORE AMERICANS SAY “NO” TO NUCLEAR REACTORS

A March 2011 Civil Society Institute poll found that 73% of Americans oppose federal loan guarantees for new nuclear reactors. An April 2011 ABC News/Washington Post poll found 64% oppose new reactor construction entirely!

15 MINUTES TO “NUCLEAR FREE” WORLD

If you have already taken these steps to Renew our World, bless you. If not yet, here is how you can in 15 minutes help make America be nuclear free and prevent Gulf reruns.

Can you imagine what redirecting our leaders’ genius and budgets from world destruction to World Peace could be like? Beyond our greatest dreams. People in many countries and Colorado are rising up shutting down nuclear plants, uranium mills and mines and creating real Democracies instead of unaccountable Corpocracies. So can We the American People!

In a landmark decision on April 25 that is rippling across America, the People of Pueblo Colorado chose to protect their families and Rocky Mountain Ski Mecca with renewable energy over a nuclear reactor, to prevent more priceless catastrophes that threaten our very existence.

Given that technology has not been able to solve our world eco crisis, UN General Assembly President Brockman said, “We need to listen to the voice of Indigenous People,” supported by six Nobel Prize Winners. But it was the late Secretary of Interior Stewart Udall, who first said at Aspen’s World Watch conference, “There is hope for humanity because we are starting to listen to the wisdom of Native Americans.”

The Hopi Elders have warned us for decades in the “Book of Hopi” by Frank Waters that, “Three of our worlds have already been destroyed. The first one by volcano triggered fires, the second by ice and the third by floods, all as a result of the Earth shifting on Her axis. Creator destroyed these worlds after the Oneness given us turned into human quarrels, corruption, world wars over materialism, and then technology making humanity forget to ‘sing joy from our hearts to Creator.’ But those who kept their hearts open were saved.”

We are now in the 4th world, and Hopi Elders say that “the United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity. But those with peace in their hearts will be sheltered.” (REF: http://www.iamamerica.com/media/following_the_star.pdf ). The Elders also say that prophesies can shift as the minds and hearts and actions of humanity shift.

The late Sir George King, astrophysicist and mystic, corroborates much of the Hopi Prophesy in his book “The Holy Mountains of the World” (published by Aetherius Society). He said “Planet Earth is an ancient Goddess of immense compassion, wisdom and cosmic experience, who gives us refuge upon Her surface.” He agreed that each of these three worlds, or human civilizations, were destroyed by the Earth’s axial turns. The difference is that he says the axial turns all triggered massive floods that cleansed the earth and prevented nuclear chain-reactions. Dr. King explained that Man had nuclear technology then that could have killed life forms on most of the planet’s surface for hundreds of thousands of years, and possibly Mother Earth Herself. And the Great Ones consider the protection of Mother Earth as first priority.

The Hopi and Dine/Navajo Elders say that coal is Mother Earth’s precious liver, and uranium both Her heart and lungs, which is why they have always fought mining in the Four Corners, and why the Navajo developed model solar communities in Arizona. Oil, which they call “the blood of Mother Earth,” is the lubricant of our Continental tectonic plates, why using renewable energy sources is imperative or “Shift Happens.”

Mother Earth is also a teacher through timely “signs.” On the eve of UN’s second International Mother Earth Day on April 22, ABC News reported that Arkansas’ gas drilling that started a year ago, was shut down after 1,000 earthquake tremors, which had never happened there before.

Yet in this 4th World, scientists in the U.S. and other nations have known since the 1950s about the horrific dangers of all things nuclear. In 1957, Walter Russell, who was called “the Man who tapped the secrets of the Universe” by IBM founder Tom Watson Sr. and others, wrote the book, “Atomic Suicide.” In it he said, “Radioactivity is man’s discovery of how we can die quickly, and not be able to propagate for many long centuries.”

This continued suicidal attempt by man is a main reason why Seneca Elder, RobertJohn Knapp spoke with Pope Benedict, who was moved to declare in 2008, “It is a sin to poison the water!”

“Through our ignorance and breaking of Nature’s laws,” Walter said, “we have collectively created sickness.” His co-author wife Lao said, “The Universal Law is the principal of giving, and violation of that law has created every war and problem in our lives.” Imagine how glorious living according to Universal Law in harmony with Nature can look and feel like!

Australia’s Dr. Helen Caldecott received a Nobel Prize for her medical research and perspective that reinforced Walter Russell’s warning to humanity that “Nuclear energy is a destroyer of worlds!”

NUCLEAR ENERGY 200 TIMES MORE DAMAGING THAN HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI’S BOMBS!

It took Japan’s meltdown to finally wake us up to realize that more people have been killed or sickened by nuclear energy radiation than nuclear bombs. In 1999, over 10 years ago, the press reported that the “radiation from nuclear energy, atomic tests, Chernobyl and other accidents, had already poisoned humanity with over 200 times more radiation than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs.” Deadly radiation from four unreported nuclear accidents in the U.S. similar to the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 was revealed by Rachel Maddow on her April MSNBC show.

MAYAN PROPHECY

And here we are again. CNN reported that the Japanese quake sparked the axial shift of the earth’s crust, prophesied by the Mayans.

TIME TO GRADUATE

Our human family has flunked “Survival 101″ three times from forgetting, ignoring, allowing ourselves to be distracted, or hiding these lessons. Knowing these horrific human history lessons, and inspired by the mindshift created by UN’s International Mother Earth Day, let us collectively set our hearts on choosing to manifest the other (multi-cultural) prophesy of 1,000 years of Peace and Prosperity for all life forms, including all of us and our children who take responsibility for creating a New Earth.

Dr King’s book “You Are Responsible” would say it is imperative for each of us to do our part to INSIST that our leaders shut down and stop the licensing and building of all nuclear reactors, and to phase out anything nuclear related NOW (weaponry, uranium mines and mills). Then SHIFT our 2012 Budgets from defense and nuclear projects to safe wind, solar, tidal turbine and geothermal energy. Let our Earth Mother safely boil our water. Let Her hum with happiness and more abundance for all!

KARMA

With 2012 coming up many of us are interested in karma. I was surprised to learn that the wise ones say that ignorance is no excuse, as God gave us minds, intuition and discernment. Karma works like a bank account. Our good deeds now can offset past bad, ignorant or unconscious deeds, including our collective part. For example, Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev founded the Green Cross to make amends for his part of the nuclear arms race and Chernobyl, to warn humanity about the incomparable dangers of anything nuclear, including its waste.

PENDING NUCLEAR FREE BILLS

Here is how you can majorly Renew our World in 15 minutes by making America or your country, nuclear free: Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton brilliantly introduced the Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Economic and Energy Conversion Act of 2011, redirecting $50 billion annual funds for nuclear weapons programs towards human, infrastructure, and clear energy needs.

Following Colorado’s victory, by each doing our part to shift from nuclear to renewable energy NOW, and celebrating Mother Earth’s gifts and holding Her in our hearts every day, we are on our way to graduating from an historic cycle of abuse, to 1,000 years of phenomenal Peace and Prosperity!

See Part 2, for “A Renewed World.” And may God bless us all!

HUGE MINDSHIFT FOR HUMANITY

Witnessing the technological world running out of solutions to our world eco crisis, or many without the will to prioritize them, Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann, President of the UN General Assembly, said, “We need to listen to the Voice of Indigenous People.”

Backed by six Nobel Prize Winners advising the UN and humanity that “We need to rebalance Nature’s cycles,” the Indigenous Bolivians proposed an International Mother Earth Day on the traditional Earth Day, to include Mother Earth in our hearts. This huge mind to heart shift for humanity was unanimously supported by their 192 united nations. With the melting in 2008 of their only glacier/ski area that supplied the water for two million in La Paz, the Bolivians wanted to enhance rebalancing our planet’s weather by lovingly adding “Mother” to our “Earth Day.”

In looking for ways to inspire communities to live in more harmony with Nature as part of UN’s International Mother Earth Day, UN Sustainability leader Maria Mercedes Sanchez of Nicaragua, was touched hearing about Native American Elders magnanimously leading Gratitude Snowdances that end snow droughts and awaken mountain communities that Mother Earth really listens. See dances:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzZKbrtHNxo&feature=player_embedded

Sanchez also welcomes your input via an Interactive Dialogue with the General Assembly on April 20: http://www.uncsd2012.org/rio20/?page=view&nr=252&type=13&menu=23

The first known Snowdance was in 1963, when Vail asked Southern Ute Elder Eddy Box Sr. to please save them from their disastrous two year, snowless opening. “Wanting to create more harmony between our cultures and Nature,” said Box, “our Ute Cloud Clan transformed our ancient traditional Raindance into a Snowdance.” The miracle was covered on the CBS Huntley-Brinkley Report.

Thanks to ski areas across America since 1995, inviting nearby tribal youth to ski and snowboard in their ancestral lands, this beautiful outreach has inspired many Elders to lead these often magnificent Snowdances that have pricelessly saved ski areas from droughts, artificial snowmaking, and toxic cloud seeding that harms Nature and Man. See press documentation on http://snow-riders.org/mir.html. Therefore, Sanchez said, “Please share your mystical American experiences with communities around the world.”

Even before the Gulf Oil Spill and Japan’s Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Energy catastrophes, Nobel Prize winners like Dr. Stephen Schneider, Eric Chivian, Muhammad Yunus, and Joseph Stiglitz agreed with Indigenous Elders how to rebalance Mother Earth. We must stop taking “oil, the blood of Mother Earth,” which is the lubricant to prevent earthquake eruptions within our continental tectonic plates. We must stop poisoning the water with toxins, especially nuclear radiation that kills all life forms. That is why the tribes and mystic, British astrophysicist Sir George King, who wrote the book, You Are Responsible, said all things nuclear are against Universal Law. Since communities are only as healthy as their water, and contaminating water is suicidal, Seneca Elder-scholar RobertJohn Knapp enlightened Pope Benedict. In 2008, the Pontiff declared, “It is a sin to poison the water.”

That is why Elders and scientists agree it is imperative to do our part to responsibility shift to renewable energy, all natural products, and organic food, to stop tainting the water in the first place. Technology has no way to fully detox and restore our trashed oceans and drinking water.

SCIENCE PROVING THE POWER OF WORDS AND CEREMONIES

Therefore the UN agrees with the Indigenous Peoples that our whole Earth Family needs to spiritually heal Mother Earth by expressing love and appreciation to Her for Her gifts – everything we have! In the YouTube video “Water: The Great Mystery,” researchers in 11 countries and a Nobel Prize winner put science behind the power of words. They verified Japanese Researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto’s water crystal tests on how expressing “love and appreciation” purifies water, and these tribal ceremonies electromagnetically raise the vibration of the mountains and oceans to a level where toxins cannot exist. So the power of love and gratitude actually helps purify the mountains, oceans and Mother Earth!

PROPHESY OF FEMININE ENERGY HEALING THE PLANET

The Hopi call 2012, “The Purification.” “In purifying and rebalancing the mountains and oceans through these ceremonies, we are restoring natural precipitation and snow cycles that result in gentle feminine nurturing rains and snows, instead of destructive masculine floods, hurricanes or blizzards,” say North American male Elders. This Mother Earth day is a chance to make a leap in progress toward fulfilling the Prophesy of the feminine energy in women and men purifying Mother Earth. Here is a touching message circling the planet from Mainstream Men to Women that is rebalancing society and therefore our Earth Mother.

The rising feminine wisdom is also thanks to women relearning the ancient ways from the World’s Indigenous Grandmothers and all Elders. By being bridges between cultures, they have spawned networks reconnecting more and more women and men with our Earth-honoring roots. A few of the great women bridge-makers include: Margaret Mead, Gloria Steinem(Intro to A Good Day to Live- http://snow-riders.org/info_pages/everday.html#gloria, and Aspen’s Connie Baxter Marlow, former executive director of Ski the Rockies and Mayflower descendent, who uncovered their 50 years of harmony with Chief Massasoit’s Wampanoags: http://snow-riders.org/docs/2005-thanksgiving-card.pdf Plus Earth protectors: Connor Sauer, advocate of our National Parks and Treasures and Woman’s Way Red Lodge www.wwrl.org, and Helen Caldicott MD who won the Nobel Prize as President of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. This visionary Australian called nuclear energy “a destroyer of Worlds,” and “Japan’s radiation is a Medical Problem of Vast Dimensions”(CNN) http://www.helencaldicott.com. That is why both practical and spiritual solutions are crucial.

The CBS Early Show revealed in April that the synthetic hormones in fragrances, beauty products and foods – banned in Japan and Europe – are giving 15% of America’s 7 yr old girls early puberty. Shifting to all natural products, in addition to safe renewable energy, could help rebalance the natural cycles of Mother Earth and of our daughters (to also prevent breast/uterine cancer).

Just as pure essential oils from herbs and flowers have been proven to raise our vibration and therefore health, toxic synthetic oils listed as “perfume, scent, fragrance,” lower our vibration and health. They also harm the immune systems of marine life, whereas cleaning with all natural products, such as sodium biocarbonate, 7th Generation, Dr. Bronner, raises the health of water. Going greener is a priceless Mother Earth Day Resolution!

Mother Earth Day is also an excellent time to celebrate the extraordinary snow that has given joy to many snow sports lovers worldwide. After publicly thanking the tribes for pricelessly saving them over the years, David Ingimie, President of the SnowSports Industries of America, Michael Berry, President of the National Ski Areas Association, and Colin Chedore, President of Ski Canada (MicMac), plus Whitaker and Kitzbuhl Ski Club President, Dr. Michael Huber, are now encouraging world mountain communities to participate in this “important UN initiative.”

Ms. Sanchez also requested that our Native American Olympic Team Foundation (NAOTF.org) help inspire seaside communities to invite Tribal Elders to lead Ocean dances. Many tribes often hold ceremonies on beaches at dawn, and many resorts, as in Tahiti, host tribal dancing and drumming at sunset, two potent spiritual times. Cousteau’s Ocean Futures, called “the Voice of the Oceans,” and George Pletnicoff, Aleut biologist-guardian of the Arctic Seas where heavy toxins end up, are now graciously spreading the word across Alaska, the North, and ports worldwide, inviting everyone to participate in giving love back to our oceans that so joyfully heal and provide for us.

Since what we do on our mountains, plains and ports ends up in the oceans, our communities together have the power to purify the oceans, restore the Gulf, and Pacific from Japan’s nuclear leaks and fallout by participating in these cross-cultural ceremonies and prayers. We have seen how regular tribal and cross-cultural ceremonies in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, have helped clear the waters so their microscopic plankton and whales flourish. Plankton is not only the base of the ocean food chain, but also our main source of oxygen, even more than the rain forests, scientists say.

IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE AMERICAS

“We hope our South and North American Solidarity inspires other continents to experience these phenomena that reconnect communities with their Indigenous Earth-loving roots,” agreed Ingimie, Berry, Chedore and Whitaker. “Our Native American Elders are offering to assist countries that may not have gifted Elders, Shaman, or Mystics to lead these ceremonies,” said Seneca Elder RobertJohn.

Special thanks to all the Elders and Earth healers like the Eddy Box Family, Rollingbears (Lakota), RobertJohn, Olivia Ellis (Cherokee), Valerie Nunez (Apache), Owen Waters, Telluride’s Rabbi Michael Saftler and TelSki, Christopher Simmons, Drai Turner (graphics), Lynn Wendekind, and the Aetherius Society, as well as UN’s Bolivian Ambassador Loayza and Sanchez, Pulitzer Prize photographer David Kennerly, scientists Sperry Andrews, Matthew Turner, and Patricia Mastrandrea of Dr. Stephen Schneider’s shared Nobel Prize team, who all contributed to this.

Blessings to Gene Mulvihill, owner of Mountain Creek Ski Area, and Gerald Pond and the Ute Mountain Casino for helping us spread this UN initiative worldwide. And to fellow skiers and Olympians who first believed in Tribal Wisdom, and each of you for being heroes to your children in doing your critical part.

As more and more mountain and ocean communities invite their Native Elders to lead these ceremonies, and more people make conscious choices to show loving respect for our Earth Mother, we are following the Indigenous way of healing Her and ourselves. Our Global Family is quickening our rebirth into a joyous flowering New Earth. What a phenomenal reason to get together and dance!

On March 19, CNN reported that spinach and milk (for babies) 65 miles away from the melting reactors were found to be contaminated. This is a déjà vu of Hiroshima, according to survivor, Dr Titsuko Komoki, on CNN, where 2 yr olds got thyroid cancer from the contaminated grass eaten by the cows and milk given to the babies. Others got leukemia at 10.

On March 21, the Japanese plant caught fire and workers had to be evacuated since the grayish smoke is full of plutonium, which they now admit using in their reactors. And “one particle of airborne plutonium can cause cancer.”

March 24, The tap water of Tokeo, population 12.9 million, is now unsafe for pregnant women, babies and children. (Reuters).

March 25, According to an international scientific group monitoring radiation around the world, the Fukushima reactors are emitting nuclear toxins at levels approaching those seen in the “aftermath” of Chernobyl. Chernobyl had 180 tonnes of nuclear fuel on site. Fukushima has 1700 tonnes of nuclear fuel on site. (Economicpopulist.org).

200 TIMES MORE RADIOACTIVITY THAN HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI

The Chernobyl reactor spewed out at least eight tons of radioactive poison, about 200 times more radioactivity than was released at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By some estimates, its fallout surpassed the total released by all nuclear weapons tests up until April 19966. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-18223691.html .

So nuclear energy has already caused humanity to suffer how many nuclear holocausts?

WIND FARMS SAVING JAPAN

Meanwhile, thanks to “wind facilities being battle ready, not one wind facility was damaged from either the earthquake or the tsunami,” reported [Japan Wind Energy Association] members. Now Japan’s electric companies have asked all of its wind farms to save their citizens “by increasing power production to maximum, to make up for the shortfalls,” brought about by what many called “failure of the non-resilient, radiation belching nuclear technologies.” http://www.grist.org/article/2011-03-18-japans-wind-farms-save-its-ass-while-nuclear-plants-flounder .

March 22 AOL News: Chernobyl Survivor’s Message for Japan: ‘Run Away as Quickly as Possible.’

The most chilling warning has come from Natalia Manzurova, a nuclear plant engineer, one of the few survivors of the 800,000 involved in the cleanup of the 1988 Chernobyl catastrophe. She said, “The first symptom of radiation poisoning is feeling like I had the flu, then high temperatures and shivering. After suffering from a thyroid removal, sky high blood pressure, and epileptic like fits, the doctors called me crazy and wanted to put me in a psychiatric ward, but finally admitted it was from radiation.”

“It’s Nuclear Slavery.”

That is why she advised the Japanese to “Run away as quickly as possible. Don’t wait. Save yourself and don’t rely on government lies. They don’t want you to know the truth and are so powerful that executives aren’t accountable to the cleanup crews, finding ways to strip us all of benefits. It’s nuclear slavery. Because radiation stays in animals’ fur and can’t be cleaned, the 100,000 evacuees cried as they were forced to abandon their pets that all turned into dried-out mummies.” http://www.aolnews.com/2011/03/22/chernobyl-cleanup-survivors-message-for-japan-run-away-as-qui/?icid=main%7Chtmlws-main-n%7Cdl3%7Csec1_lnk3%7C207001 .

Two years after the meltdown, 140 cows and pigs born fifty kilometers southwest of Chernobyl, gave birth to offspring without limbs, eyes and ribs. Other animals without heads or two of them.

Are these modern day holocausts not crimes against humanity and the animal kingdom when there are more affordable totally safe alternatives? Bless heroes like Natalya and the press for shining a light on this betrayal, lying about the safety of nuclear energy to get taxpayers to continue subsidizing a technology whose time has gone.

These unfolding revelations further destroys any credibility of assurances by any nuclear or government officials that the “Japanese fallout that just started hitting California and soon Britain,” is too insignificant to affect our health.

Japan’s catastrophe uncovered that the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)’s “safe” levels have been deliberately “based on how radiation affects a 155 pound 25-30 year old male.” BEIR VII report found that “the overall fatal cancer risk experienced by females is actually 37.5 percent greater than that experienced by males for the same radiation exposure. And children (and animals) are significantly more affected including developmentally.”

Americans wanting to explore avoiding more “nuclear nightmares” from reliance on Nuclear Energy and Bombs, please check out and immediately share the shocking video below, as it contains the solution to transitioning to safe renewable energy in this 2012 Budget. It was produced by humanitarian Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry’s, as part of his “Priorities Campaign.” My fellow Vermonters also led the U.S. Dairy Industry’s ban on synthetic hormones that have been fattening up cows and the American People. Now they are helping wake up and empower Americans to get their rightful piece of the pie while helping us become sustainable at this pivotal moment.

AMERICA SPENDS MORE ON DEFENSE THAN ALL POTENTIAL ENEMIES COMBINED

Using a pie chart, Cohen makes it easy to understand how the Federal Budget works and where all our money goes. Cohen and Shanahan show how our “Peace-loving America” has spent 3 times more on our Defense than all our potential enemies combined, and how we can enlighten our leaders to shift a portion of the 2012 Budget to address the dire needs of communities, especially renewable energy, like China has done.

In the video, Navy Vice Admiral Jack Shanahan ret. explains how U.S. tax payers are unknowingly spending $17 billion each year just to maintain our inventory of nuclear bombs.

PROPOSED CANADIAN URANIUM MILL IN PARADOX, CO PLANNIG TO SELL NUCLEAR BOMB COMPONENTS TO KOREA

In addition, our nuclear reactor plants and mills produce “yellow cake,” a component of nuclear bombs. I didn’t believe this because I had just seen on the new President Obama signing a treaty reducing nuclear bomb proliferation. But the NY Times and Denver Post articles on January 6 confirmed that the Canadian company behind Colorado’s proposed Pinon Ridge Uranium Mill in Paradox, which is being decided right NOW (along with the Pueblo Reactor), plans to sell at huge profits, its yellow cake to Asia, including Korea.

Without even giving Colorado’s tax payers royalties, their Congressional representatives are on the brink of allowing a foreign company to contaminate Rocky Mt air, drinking water/fishing streams and agricultural lands for 100,000 years, and degrading this Ski Mecca of the World, on which over a million jobs depend. Plus the foreign company would leave Coloradans with a mega million dollar clean- up bill. “Are we nuts also putting our National Security at risk,” asked Telluride’s Rabbi Michael Saftler, a ski instructor-realtor-Nature guardian. http://www.publicradio.org/columns/marketplace/business-news-briefs/2011/01/new_uranium_processing_site_ok.html .

US SPENDING 60 BILLION/YEAR ON NUCLEAR BOMBS AND WEAPONRY

This reinforced the credibility of the mind blowing revelation in Cohen’s video by Admiral Shanahan and a panel of former military leaders, that tax payers are also paying 60 billion/year to unknowingly keep building nuclear bombs and weaponry that Shanahan says “do nothing to protect Americans from the new War on Terrorism.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sOIe5Ql0v8&feature=related .

OREO COOKIE DEMONSTATION

Cohen demonstrated how we can easily shift the budget to our priorities by using Oreo Cookies, “each one representing 10 billion dollars. We could take a stack of Oreos from Pentagon spending, to cover critical needs of communities,” especially energy through Green Renewables, like wind, solar and biothermal, tidal turbines. Such a move would have prevented Japan’s triple catastrophe, and still can for America, with plenty of Oreos left over to pay off part of our National Debt.”

AMERICANS ARE MAINLY FUNDING 10 TIMES WORLD OVERKILL

The Admiral said, “Such a shift would not put the U.S. at risk. By reducing the funding each year of nuclear bombs and weapons that add up to 10 times world overkill, I would feel safer, wouldn’t you?”

TEACHERS, please show your students this video and the science-related water one below so they can then teach parents how to stand up for their future.

ENERGY COST COMPARISONS

Investing in renewables NOW will also save Americans a bundle of money and unnecessary psychological stress. Amory Lovins, founder and chief scientist of Aspen’s renowned Rocky Mountain Institute, who has won almost every energy award, compared costs in his article, “With Nuclear Power, No Acts of God Can Be Permitted:” “Since 2005, new U.S. reactors (if any) have been 100+% subsidized–yet they couldn’t raise a cent of private capital,(even on Wall Street), because they have no business case. They cost 2-3 times as much as new wind power, and by the time you could build a reactor, it couldn’t even beat solar power.”

He explained that, “Competitive renewables, cogeneration, and efficient use can displace all U.S.(dirty) coal power more than 23 times over–leaving ample room to replace nuclear power’s half-as-big-as-coal contribution too–and we need to do it just once.”

COUNTRIES LIGHTING THE WAY

Lovins hopes, “Perhaps this tragedy will call Japan into a post-nuclear world. And before America, who has been very lucky, suffers its own Fukushima, it too should ask, not whether costly, unfinanceable new reactors are safe, but why build any more, and why keep running unsafe ones. China has suspended reactor approvals. Germany just shut down the oldest 41% of its nuclear capacity for study.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/amory-lovins/with-nuclear-power-no-act_b_837708.html?ref=email_share .

After also seeing how the Chernobyl fallout contaminate the reindeer that Laplanders in Northern Scandinavia subsisted on, irradiated agricultural lands across Europe, and greatly reduced bird population all the way in California, the Prime Minister of Sweden, also guided by Onondaga Chief Oren Lyons, switched back from nuclear to renewables and is lighting the way to a sustainable balanced Earth.

Wind Energy from California and the Great Plains is leading the way in America. Kudos to the 13 tribes of the Dakotas (COUP/Native Energy) whose U.S. plan won a World Clean Energy Oscar in Switzerland, and kudos to Secretary of Interior Salizar who is wisely investing in solar projects in the sunshine states of Colorado and California following the success of the Navajo solar communities in Arizona.

Compare that to 17 cents per kilowatt hour for new nuclear reactors and the risk of destroying countries like Japan and America, since some of our reactors are near fault lines on the West Coast.

“10 RISKIEST US NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS”

Melissa Breyer’s report revealed “that plants in the East, South and Midwest, where earthquake risk was not as highly considered in the design, now find themselves at the top of the NRC’s risk list. Why? Geologists have found new cracks like the New Madrid fault centered on the Missouri Bootheel, offshore faults near Charleston, S.C., and in the mountains of East Tennessee. 108 million Americans live within 50 miles of an American nuclear power plant.” http://www.care2.com/greenliving/10-riskiest-nuclear-power-plants-in-america.html#ixzz1H9uy91K0 .

Yet America’s main nuclear dump inside Nevada’s Yucca Mountain is located on a fault line. And seismic readings in the “Ring of Fire” around the Pacific are registering elevated activity as never before. http://www.youtube.com/embed/xQXDt4VdS0E

POPE BENEDICT: “IT IS A SIN TO POISON THE WATER”

All things nuclear, including small reactors, put the U.S., Mother Earth, water – our Key of life, and therefore humanity, at risk. Researchers in 11 countries and a Nobel Prize winner in the YouTube video, “Water: The Great Mystery,” found that radiation is the greatest threat to water and humanity since it destroys all life forms, and we are mainly water. It also “blocks in our brains our drive to survive.

That is why Native Elders say that nuclear fission is against universal law, and why Seneca Elder-scholar RobertJohn Knapp inspired Pope Benedict to declare in 2008, “It is a sin to poison water.”

LACK OF TRANSPARENCY

Comparing the lack of transparency concerning motive, method and regulation of Japanese, US, and International nuclear leaders, Lovins said: “Regulators haven’t resolved all these key safety issues, including terrorist threats, lest they disrupt the powerful industry. U.S. regulations and transparency is not clearly better than Japan’s: Industry-friendly rules bar the American public from meaningful participation. The nuclear boosterism of many Presidents also discourages inquiry and dissent.”

NUCLEAR SOCIALISM?

Lovins gave us an eye-opening analogy in his article, “Nuclear Socialism-Energy subsidies-of any kind-are bad business:” “Some people are outraged that the federal government is subsidizing the new Chevrolet Volt, retailing at $41,000, with a tax credit of $7,500. Imagine if the tax credits were $50,000! If new reactors can produce competitive power, they don’t need subsidies; if not, they don’t deserve subsidies. Forbes in 1985 called this seduction of previously prudent utilities and regulators into this nuclear binge, ‘the largest managerial disaster in business history.’” http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/nuclear-socialism_508830.html .

A MILLION NUCLEAR ENERGY RELATED DEATHS – 170,000 IN NORTH AMERICA

“Nuclear-promoting regulators inspire even less confidence,” said Lovins. “The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) 2005 estimate of about 4,000 Chernobyl deaths contrasts with a rigorous 2009 review of 5,000 mainly Slavic-language scientific papers the IAEA overlooked. It found deaths approaching a million through 2004, nearly 170,000 of them in North America. The total toll now exceeds a million, plus a half-trillion dollars’ economic damage. The fallout reached four continents, just as the jet stream could swiftly carry Fukushima’s fallout.”

EACH POWER PLANT PRODUCES PLUTONIUM ENOUGH FOR 40 BOMBS PER YEAR!

Electrical and nuclear engineer Dr. Arjun Makhijani, president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, has done studies that show, “We have the technology today to completely power America with wind and solar energy. We have a shortage of two things – time in which to solve the problem, and a shortage of money, since the back-up systems to prevent severe nuclear accidents is very costly, and delays in construction often extend for years. Plus people are concerned that Plutonium is generated in every nuclear power plant – about 40 bombs worth every year.”

COVERING DIRE SOCIAL PROGRAMS

Cohen showed how such a U.S. Budget shift would easily cover the social programs that Congress is about to axe, such as food for the poor, green jobs for the lower and middle class, healthcare, Planned Parenthood, child development, student assistance, organic farming, Gulf rehab – all without raising taxes.

HARD TO BELIEVE…

If it seems hard to believe that this “obscene waste of the American tax payers hard earned money” has been going on for the last half century, here is General Eisenhower’s courageous Farewell Speech warning the American People: We must forever be vigilant because of the vast profits related to armaments, and not let the Military Industrial Complex be allowed to wield unbridled power.”

Gorbachev started the Green Cross to make amends for Chernobyl and to warn humanity about the high risks of nuclear proliferation in all its forms, including its waste. Time Magazine’s Peter Essick said “Nuclear waste could fill a train around the equator.” And no one has been able to stop the radiation leaks that contaminate the water and land for over 100,000 years.

This is why Ike, Gorbachev and Admiral Shanahan have made amends to clean up their karma. Plus my late relative and supporter, former Secretary of the Navy John Chaffee, went on to author as Senator(R) the critical “Clean Air, Water and Endangered Species Acts.” Yet Nuclear Energy breaks these laws over and over. Bless these friends of America and our Earth Family for having the courage to tell us the truth. By our action or inaction NOW, we affect the future of our innocent children and our individual and collective karma.

Some communities are seduced into the nuclear plant solution by the carrot of approximately 150 jobs, which in the case of Japan’s, have been described as heroic death missions. Each of us now has the responsibility to finally learn from these lessons, and heroically protect tens of thousands of generations of children, millions of jobs, for example, in the Colorado Ski and Tourism Industries, by insisting our leaders shift nuclear budgets to renewables NOW, which are authentically clean, unlike nuclear, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. Plus this green direction will also help prevent more Gulf Oil Spills that lost and cost Americans trillions. Thanks to Cohen’s Oreos we can better ballpark the math and now see how much we can save by shifting from nuclear and fossil fuels to renewables.

THE AMERICAN DREAM FOR EVERYONE

Shifting these budgets now could lead to nearly FREE energy, the greatest boon for humanity, freeing the many instead of the few to prosper with more free time to enjoy family life, vacations, vibrant health and free healthcare in a more sustainable world. Yet know that nearly Free Energy is the greatest threat to the greed machines.

SHIFTING NUKE BUDGETS TO RENEWABLE ENERGY AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS

A century long addiction to the vast profits to a few from armaments, as well as nuclear and oil energy, requires some tough love through an intervention by the American People RIGH NOW at budget time. That means being as strong as we would need to be working with an addict, while at the same time giving them tsunamis of love to heal the wounds from being abused. That is why they continue this vicious cycle of abusing the American People. That’s applying what we need to apply what we have learned from Dr. Phil, Oprah and Celebrity Rehab to our U.S. Budget, so it may serve the American Dream of All the People.

Otherwise, the Union of Concerned Scientists warn that the profits and payoffs to Congressional campaigns and others, are so lucrative that despite Japan’s catastrophe, lobbyists are pushing to get their nuclear subsidies under the wire while Americans are distracted by the Libyan war. Despite all the elevated seismic activity, they want to fast-track 20 new plants for construction in the U.S., and thousands worldwide.

Nuclear technology leaders are meeting at their 2011 national energy conference April 27 and 28 in Hobbs, New Mexico, focusing on small-scale reactors as part of America’s energy policy, which President Obama was pushing during Japan’s meltdown. The Nuke industry is excited about turning uranium rich New Mexico into a deadly nuclear hotspot, even mining under the Laguna Pueblo, when it was Time Magazine’s cover story, the “Coolest State to Visit,” for being a “Land of Enchantment” of Native Dancing, skiing, ET’s.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS!
100,000 PEOPLE MARCHED IN TAIWAN on March 20 to demand the government halt the construction of a fourth nuclear power plant, in the wake of the disaster in Japan, including Ex-premier Su Tseng-chang. “Japan has the world’s most advanced technology to ensure nuclear safety and could not prevent the Fukunshima Nuclear Power Plant explosion. How can we,” asked a protester.

57% Of AMERICANS WANTED TO CUT SUBSIDIES FOR NEW REACTORS, the single most popular budget cut, according to “Wall Street Journal/NBC News public opinion poll on March 3, before Japan’s quake.

“TWICE AS MANY ‘NO NUKE CITIZENS’ TESTIFIED AT PUEBLO COLORADO’S HEARINGS than Pro Nukes at their Board of County Commissioners on March 15-16, to decide on the their proposed nuclear reactor: 500 to 200. The No Nukes included some arch-Republicans and a rancher whose property was mentioned in the Nuke site, yet he said he had never been asked,” said Joan Seeman, Sierra Club’s courageous Rocky Mt Protector.

“JAPANESE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN NUCLEAR POWER HAS CHANGED,” said Chief Cabinet Yukio Edano on March 24. (Reuters).

RENEWABLES PROTECT LAND AND PROPERTY VALUES

Telluride’s Rabbi Saftler is very concerned that “Colorado’s ski visitors and land prices could plummet from the proposed Pueblo Plant and Paradox Canadian-owned Uranium Mill” – both up for decision.

He says it would further contaminate Colorado’s water and air, already poisoned by “unpluggable leaks,” say owners from a dozen existing or abandoned uranium mines, dumps and mills that could reopen if the nuclear industry is allowed to be artificially revived by tax payers since they have failed to attract legitimate investors. “Yet the Nuclear Industry spends $650 million on lobbying and payoffs,” reported the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Here is our chance to together restore our American Dream:

1. Demand the Senate DELETE THE $36 BILLION NUCLEAR ENERGY GUARANTEE LOANS or any kind of giveaway from the 2012 Budget and the 2011 Continuing Resolution,” adding up to 54.5 billion in case you haven’t yet at: http://www.beyondnuclear.org/actnow/ .
2. DEMAND Congress and the White House HEED JAPAN’S WARNING by putting a hold on approving new plants, conducting a thorough review of the safety of our existing nuclear power plants, and focusing investments on safer, cleaner forms of renewable energy like wind and solar power. http://soe.salsalabs.com/o/1/t/2/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=3&track=2011_0324_Antinukes_TAFAUTO .

3. “Find Your Representatives” button on the above “SaveOurEnvironment.org, and tell them:
a. NO to DEVEOPING AND CERTIFYING SMALL MODULAR REACTORS under the Nuclear Power 2021 Act (S. 512). Ask them what part of 100,000 years of a nuclear nightmare and waste of taxpayers money, don’t they get?
b. SHIFT the PROPOSED $36 BILLION NUCLEAR LOAN GUARANTEES To renewable wind and solar energy.
c. SHIFT 1/3 of the 60 BILLION TAXPAYERS UNKNOWINGLY SPEND ANNUALLY ON NUCLEAR BOMBS AND WEAPONRY that Admiral Shanahan says “do nothing to protect Americans from the new War on Terrorism,” to renewable wind and solar energy – like the Chinese shifted. Plus restore social program: food for the poor, green jobs, rehab the Gulf, raise tax credits for electric cars, sustainable organic farming, children, students, Planned Parenthood, the elderly, and pay down a chunk of the national debt each year.
d. Also TELL THE WHITE HOUSE, bravo on Michelle’s third organic garden, and WHAT YOU WANT AT: 202-456-1111.
e. Plus PROTECT OUR NATIONAL TREASURE – THE GRAND CANYON FROM FOREIGN OR U.S. URANIUM MINING that would contaminate the last pure water in America, and drinking and AG water of the Southwest and Los Angeles. https://secure2.convio.net/sierra/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=6002 .

Congratulations. You can take pride in telling your children that you are part of the brilliant team that is creating a flowering Green Powered New Earth that hums with happiness!

Since we are aware of the laws of cause and effect, a gifted Native female Earth Healer who was warned about the Japanese disaster three days ago, told me that this catastrophe is a wake up call to help heal the shared evil or negative karma that humanity has done on Mother Earth throughout history. Whether or not you are in harm’s way, here is what you can do to help protect all life on Earth:

The Earth Healer says we can do phenomenal good right now with a simple, powerful prayer from the heart to transmute or transform ALL those dark deeds from the cellular and atomic levels of all life forms on Mother Earth, to the light with love. And then request that it be balanced and harmonized with the law of Dominating Good: That God is good, God is in all things and is in charge. And give thanks to Creator.

We also need to prevent the causes: The Elders warn that we cannot keep taking the oil out of Mother Earth without this kind of effects, since the oil, which the tribes call “Her blood,” is necessary to lubricate the tectonic plates, including under the sea, to prevent more earthquakes. The Gulf oil spill was another horrific lesson of the effects of using oil for energy, instead of renewables, added to Japan’s toxic oil refinery explosion and massive on going fires just depicted on CNN.

CNN also reported that despite Japan having the highest nuclear safety standards, including in case of earthquakes, it necessitated Secretary Clinton sending military planes bringing coolants to prevent meltdowns, like Chernobyl, of two of Japan’s nuclear reactors whose quake and fires destroyed their command centrals and two backup cooling systems, including electricity.

Researchers in 11 countries and a Nobel Prize winner in the YouTube video, “Water: The Great Mystery,” found that radiation is the greatest threat to water and since we are mainly water, humanity. They found it blocks our drive to survive. That is why the Elders say it is against the Laws of Nature and the Universe, and why Pope Benedict said in 2008, “It is a sin to poison the water,”

The Indigenous Elders, Union of Concerned Scientists and the 5 Nobel Prize winners agree that to live in more integrity and harmony with Mother Earth, as Earth Guardians, we must shift to clean renewable energy, which has now become as cheap as dirty high risk energy. “Wind Energy now costs One Cent per Kilowatt hour,” according to the President of the Institute of Energy, Dr. Arjun Makhijani. His studies found that “The US could have low-carbon energy without nuclear power, and that wind and solar energy would be cheaper and safer than nuclear since there is no risk of catastrophic downside and phenomenal cleanup costs.”

We can NOW create good collective karma by together ensuring that our leaders finally learn from these lessons and shift budgets to renewable energy to prevent these catastrophes. In so doing we are creating, with the grace of God, a joyful harmonious New Earth.
