Let’s talk about something nice for a change. Let’s talk about friends. In my life I have been blessed with a few very, very good friends. I consider them a family that I have had a chance to create on my own. If I would lose all that I possess, I would still be a very rich person. All of my friends have keys to my apartment – and I have theirs. Numerous times they jumped in when I was in trouble – financial or other; 3 in the morning, no questions asked. And I have done the same for them. I think of them as the most valuable assets in my life. We have all went through rough situations in life when we literally did not have anything to eat, nor dishes to eat from. I'll tell you just one story:
I lost my job and I was late with payments for bills and my apartment. So I decided to take a job in a different state for a few months, a state that I didn’t know the language (Germany) – but it was my only way out at the time. So I barely raised money for a bus ticket. I did not have one single penny in my pocket. But that did not stop me. And there I was, all alone at the bus station, waiting for the bus to show up and at one moment I saw my best friend coming towards me. She had a very tough surgery on her back just 2 weeks earlier and she was wearing a cast from her neck to the waist. I could not believe my eyes! I was very angry at her but happy at the same time to have her by my side at that moment. So I started to shout at her: Damn girl, you should be in bed, for god sake you have a cast on and the doctors strictly told you not to move until it is removed. She just smiled, hugged me and gave me an envelope. She said that she could not let me go without any money. But I knew that she didn’t have any money either – she basically gave me everything she had. But returning the money was out of the question – she didn’t want to hear about it. She just said: You are going to a place where you don't know anybody. I have people around me to help me. You need that more than me. 12 years have gone by since then. We are still very close friends.
I could tell you dozens of stories about my friends. But all that it comes to is sharing a life with those around you, through the good, and the bad. If I had the whole world and no friends to share it with I would still have nothing.
So I ask you: What will your friends do for you? How far will they go? And more important, how far would you go for them?

It Is Time For A Change!!
Barack Obama is saying that it is a time for a change. And I agree. But I am also wondering if it is too late?? And if it isn’t, will we be capable for the changes that he proposes?? Deep down I am really scared for this country because there are still so many people that do not understand what is really happening. Or they are too afraid to deal with the obvious truth, one of them being the fear of terrorism.
Wake up!!!! Terrorism is just an excuse for the war. A war that this country needs to fill pockets with lot’s of money. A war that BUSH needs to keep the nation in fear. What is happening right now on Wall Street is a direct consequence of the war. And I firmly believe that it was very well planned. You will ask how?
Well, the first thing the war brought us was raising the price of oil (gas). With gas going up, everything else went up. In the meantime, we were earning the same amount of money as before. So, while everything went up, our paychecks didn’t. Of course, the price of oil made banks raise the monthly rates we had for our houses. But with everything going up, we simply could not earn enough to make the payments. And we lost our houses to the banks. Well, since this was (is) happening to masses, banks are having too many houses for sale and none to sell it to. So, the banks are going down.
And we are still too ignorant to see the truth. Because if we weren't so ignorant we would find a way to stop this war. The government is here for us and they are acting like it is reverse. But, it is not their fault, it is our fault. Because we are letting them get away with whatever they want. So are we ready for a change??? If we are, the change has to start within us.

What does Christianity, 911 and The Federal Reserve all have in common?

The social manipulation of society through the generation of fear and division has completely detached humans from their sense of power and reality.

The Vatican's Treasure
So, the Pope (Roman Catholic Church) is saying that the root of all evil is in money and greed. (Pope Benedict XVI condemned unbridled "pagan" passion for power, possessions and money as a modern-day plague Saturday as he led more than a quarter of a million Catholics in an outdoor Mass in Paris, CNN).
Ok, let’s see:
The Vatican's treasure of solid gold has been estimated by the United Nations World Magazine to amount to several billion dollars. A large bulk of this is stored in gold ingots with the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, while banks in England and Switzerland hold the rest. But this is just a small portion of the wealth of the Vatican, which in the U.S. alone, is greater than that of the five wealthiest giant corporations of the country. When to that is added all the real estate, property, stocks and shares abroad, then the staggering accumulation of the wealth of the Catholic Church becomes so formidable as to defy any rational assessment. The Catholic Church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe. The pope, as the visible ruler of this immense amassment of wealth, is consequently the richest individual of the twentieth century. No one can realistically assess how much he is worth in terms of billions of dollars
(THE VATICAN BILLIONS by Avro Manhattan).
Now, please don’t get me wrong. I personally think that Jesus was/is the most wise and compassionate human being that ever lived. He was revolutionary, a visionary who knew the answers. He knew that only love matters in this world. If we would actually follow his words, this world would never have wars or poor, unhappy and miserable people. Instead, some of his “followers” saw the opportunity and their greed started to act. They started to build churches, taking the money from the poor. They started to scare people who did not follow their rules with hell and all sorts of punishments. Well, I'll tell you something.
Their hell does not exist. Their paradise does not exist. It is all in our heads. A state of mind. That is what he tried to say. If you live a fulfilled life, if you care for others, if you treat them all the same (no matter the race or religion), you will live in paradise. If you give before you ask, you will be given. If you give without expectations you will receive double. If you live a selfish, un-giving and miserable life you will live in hell. That is what he was thinking.
So, my Pope, when was the last time you gave someone homeless a place to stay inside your palace? And do not tell me that you build shelters and orphanages because that is not even 1/100000 of how much you could have done with all that money. Wherever he is, Jesus must be the saddest person now. He gave us all the tools and we decided not to use them. Because everything we need for a paradise is inside of us.
What you said about money and greed being the root of all evil is not the truth.
The root of all evil is selfishness. Because money in the right hands is a blessing, but money in the wrong hands is a curse. As we witness every day watching priests around the world. (And I don’t think just Roman Catholic).....

Blog This
Did anyone watch CNN news yesterday? Well, if you didn't I will tell you what you missed. You missed hundreds of people in Haiti waiting for food. When the food finally arrived they started to run over each other fighting for few pounds of rice and a little bit of water. Some of them were wounded by the razor wire in an attempt to grab something that’s going to keep them alive.
So, why am I mentioning this?? I mean really. Why?
Cause my fellow readers we live in the 21st century. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
We live in a century where scientists have spent over 9 billion US $ on a machine that they hope will simulate the “BIG BANG” that created the universe and answer some questions. My dear, dear God.
How many empty bellies could that amount of money feed? (and btw, who's money is it anyways!?)
So I ask you one thing: what do you think is more valuable: to feed the hungry or to feed curiosity? What good do we have from all these new technologies and discoveries if we still have not discovered the basic things...if we are still not capable of reaching out to the ones needing it most?
This is not the 21st century. This is truly a dark age of human beings.
If you dare to witness this atrocity view it below on YouTube.
