Manifest destiny is the idea that because of your religion you can do whatever you want, even if it means slaughtering innocent people and taking their land. True story.

7 Steps To Political EmpowermentIf you feel overwhelmed and frustrated by our government leaders and apathetic about your own partisan destiny, there is a way out of your political malaise. Here are 7 simple steps you can take to refresh yourself and participate in our democratic republic. 7 Steps
Show up. There are 45 million unregistered eligible voters in the country. Don’t be one of them. If you’re eligible to vote, register. 215 million US voters can’t be wrong. Locate the registrar of voters in your state or county. Fill in the form. Tip: An absentee ballot makes things simple and easy. Time: 1 hour Frequency: Once Cost: Free[1] Learn Get informed and stay informed. Find out who your congressman is, your assemblyman, your senators, your mayor. Go to their websites. Get on their email lists and follow their progress. Follow other political websites. Read political and opinion articles in major respected newspapers, listen to talk radio, watch cable and network TV debates. Tip: Compare and contrast information sources. Time: 4 hours Frequency: Once a year Cost: $50 Vote Make a decision. Choose. Vote in every election you qualify for. Read the campaign materials and gather independent non-partisan information. Read the candidates statements so you are as informed as possible. Then vote. Vote for the best candidate, not the ticket, not the party. Remember, voting is private. If you have an absentee ballot, you can vote ahead of Election Day without looking for a polling station or disrupting your life. Tip: Think for yourself. Time: 2 hours Frequency: Every 2 years Cost: Free Commit Put your money where your mouth is. Make a small donation to your Congressman’s campaign. $5-20 is fine. If you believe in what he is doing, support his campaign. If you don’t, support the opponent or challenger. Remember, donations are public information. Follow the rules. Tip: Donate small amounts to several candidates. Time: 1 hour Frequency: Every 2 years Cost: $20 Engage Take a stand. Engage where you are. Identify the laws you want to change. Talk to your friends. Then convince others to join you. Comment on a blog and sign a petition to support a cause or issue. Write your representative and voice your opinion. Attend a town hall meeting; attend city council meetings or a fundraiser. Serve on a local committee. Volunteer to help out on a campaign. Visit city hall, your state capital or Washington DC.

Start by focusing on the top three issues that personally affect you. Write up your issue, your position, your arguments and your facts. Resolve your position, clarify your arguments and win support from your network. Expand your base, increase your reach and share the cost. You can lead it on your own. Lobbying used to be only for the rich, powerful and the connected. But now anyone can do it. Grassroots activism does not require you to join a single-issue organization, a trade association, pay union dues or contribute to a PAC. You can drive costs down by sharing resources and costs with thousands of other people focused around a single common issue. With increased purchasing power you can have the same influence as a special interest. The benefits will include less time, less money, greater mobility, ubiquity, increased control, and getting laws changed. Every day, everywhere, lobby on the go. Tip: Be honest and straightforward and you’ll be amazed at your results. Time: 15 min. Frequency: Monthly Cost: $25 Run Lead. The world needs leaders. Run for office. Now that you’ve learned a lot and decided that you’re tired of someone less competent controlling the agenda, you should run for office. If you are willing to serve and help other people then you will find that this is something that will become your life. You will want to do it all the time. You will know this is for you because you listen to your supporters, you have the facts about solving real world problems and you are able to implement policy solutions. At this point you will know if you have the political bug or not. If you have issues, and friends and family that support you then this could be your ticket to political empowerment. Charisma and good speaking skills can come later. Once you are in, there’ll be many people to help you to the next level. Good luck. Tip: Don’t stay in longer than you need to. Time: 8 hours Frequency: Daily Cost: $5,000+ [1] All estimates of time required, frequency and cost are minimums only.

Christopher Columbus's real last name was Colon or Colonna which is one of the real "illuminati" bloodline families of which there are TWO sets of them which I will list below. The "real" illuminati are not the Ra'ka'pharoahs or the RA'S childs nor the Russell, Bundy and Li's. There's a reason there's 13 COLONies where called such in honor of the COLON family. 13 pieces of osiris and the Washington D(i)C(k) is tucked in between the legs of Virgin-ia and MARY-land since their version of "Mary" is in fact, ISIS as is the "Statue of Liberty," "Queen of Heaven"/Samirimis/Isis/Diana/Athena and such. So yes, I know the history better than you would expect and I tend to notice the blatant and stupid symbolism of these earthly rulers. The two bloodlines stem from Genesis 19 in the Bible. The children of MOAB and AMMON (Ra) after the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah where Lot's daughters slept with their own father to "preserve his bloodline" which is why we see all the incest bullshit in these families even now. The two pillars of freemasonry indicate these bloodlines. Moabites (like O-B-A-M-A or A M-O-A-B) and the children of Ammon (RA) like the representatives of those families in the RA'childs or Children of Ra and the RA'KA'Phera or the RA (sun god) KA (of or subservient to) PHERA/PHAROAH (priest) or the PRIESTS of Ra. Those families include the following: The children of Ammon are the "Illuminati Grey Masters" and those 13 families are Esquiline, Pinciano, Agonalis, Quirinale, Sallustiano, Macuteo, Minervio, Lateranense, Solare, Dogali, Vaticano, Flaminio and Matteiano. The other set are the brotherhood of Saturnalia or the dark sun. Those families include Borgia/Borja, Breakspeare, Somaglia, Orsini, Conti, Chigi, Farnese, Medici, Gaetani, Pamphili, Este, Aldobradini and or course the Colon/Colonna/Columbus family.

A Unified Worldview vs. A Dualistic One
Friends, The video counterpart for this post can be found here. There is a prevalent myth in the Western world about “celebrating diversity.” It is a noble idea in theory but I argue that in practice it leads to problems. You see, by celebrating diversity we have to presuppose separation and difference. And certainly, to look around the world it’s very easy to view things and people as individuated and self-contained, rather than seeing them as all part of the same global process. To quote Jacque Fresco, “You don’t see the plug up our asses,” so it’s very easy to forget that we’re all connected to something larger. This illusion of separation is particularly deceiving in the world of opinion, viewpoint, ideology and religion. Everyone espouses and subscribes to their own ideas in these fields and if they are polite and well-mannered they will profess to have respect for all different ideas, opinions and worldviews. But what does that really mean? Well, for starters, by respecting different viewpoints there is an acknowledgement of difference in the first place which means that there is an implicit recognition of superiority in one’s own viewpoint. After all, if someone didn’t think their own viewpoint was the best, they wouldn’t subscribe to it, yes? So not only do we see superficial separation based on nothing more than a different estimation of reality, but we see other worldviews instantly as inferior in spite of our best and noblest intentions. Again, if these other worldviews were as good as ours, we would subscribe to them instead. What we need to do is stop looking at different view points as separate end-points and view them as all part of the same emergent process of finding truth. Some people’s outlooks represent a closer approximation to reality perhaps than others, but as different as viewpoints may be, they are all part of the same beautiful search for truth that we are all engaging in. That is the benchmark and common denominator in all discourse and exchanges of ideas. To put it in a phrase: The dualistic eye looks at other viewpoints and thinks. “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even though they are wrong and I am right.” The unified eye looks at other viewpoints and thinks, “Everyone is formulating all these wacky ideas, just trying their hardest to figure out life –just like me!” We have to acknowledge that we as individuals (and by extension, as societies) have never been 100% percent, empirically right about anything. All we have are approximations of reality which, if we are lucky, are moving closer and closer to truth as we refine our methods and keep inquiring. Best, -Andre Guantanamo Intimate Fundraising Events – Parlor Meetings, Political Fundraisers and Investment PartiesBy Rivka C Willick –
Great ideas often lead to big things, but somewhere along the way investments and fundraising are often required. Non-profits, political causes, and commercial startups all need cash to expand and grow. Although many groups may dream of a mega grant or super venture capitalist, support from small donors and individual investors are often the foundation from which all things grow. One of the most successful ways of attracting these individuals is through small gatherings. These “house parties” are a popular and successful way to raise money for nonprofits, political functions, and business ventures. Although the reasons for these gatherings are always to raise funds, the purpose for the money creates subtle differences in the structure and style of the events. Let’s take a look at all three types of events and see how they vary. Nonprofit events are called by many names including a parlor meeting, house meeting, house party, or round up. The purpose can vary from funding for social programs or religious organizations, support for the arts, humanitarian outreach, environmental awareness or assistance for dozens of other charitable causes. � These small charitable parlor meetings are usually hosted by two or more people commonly referred to as co-chairs. � Successful house parties need two or more months advance notice. � As a practice, the host does not ask for money. Instead, one of the co-chairs or the featured speaker will speak about funding needs and the benefits of supporting the organization or cause. � One popular way to increase donations is to offer matching dollars. This is a popular incentive. A major funder agrees to make a specific donation as long as his or her amount is matched by other supporters. Political Fundraising can be focused on a single candidate, group of candidates, or local political party. Small group fundraising accounts for a significant amount of dollars for both minor and major candidates. � Political house parties usually begin with a committee led by a chair. In most cases, all the members are responsible for bringing in guests. � The purpose should be defined. There can be more than one goal, but each goal should be very clear. � Unless it is a general fundraiser, a target audience should be defined at the beginning. Food, location, and activities should be geared to target audience. Investor Meetings also go by several names including networking house parties or Angel events. � Although these small parties are often held in homes, informal settings in business or prestigious locations are also OK. � Incentives, perks and well known speakers are often used to attract attendees. � A few commercial groups are available to organize events. Although the three types of small events have some differences, successful events share many of the same elements. 1. Prestigious location – Private homes are fine, and sometimes the best choice. Setting the event in a prominent neighborhood or in a notable home can attract guests and set a financial tone. 2. Organizers set a realistic financial goal with a specific amount they plan to raise. 3. The budget should be set in early planning and should be paid for in advance. (Dealing with last minute fees or unpaid bills creates a negative atmosphere.) A flawless event reflects on the organization, candidate, or company. 4. Leadership should be clear and defined. Jobs and roles need to be written down and understood by all members of the team. 5. Time management is very important. If the event is listed as two hours, don’t run over time. Running overtime makes potential donors angry. 6. Aggressively Market target audience. Make sure to budget for marketing campaign which may include personal contacts, mailed invites, direct mail, and entertainer contacts. 7. Thank you letters (or calls) should be sent to all attendees who attended parlor meetings or investment parties, whether they immediately invested or not.
