Kerry Cassidy Interviews Lt. Colonel French on Disclosure [video]

Kerry interviewed Dr. French during the Citizen Hearing for Disclosure in Washington, DC in April/May and says…

This is a short interview with Lt. Col Richard French, retired, (Dr. French) a former officer of the OSI and pilot.  He worked under orders from Majestic 12 back during the Truman and Eisenhower administrations debunking reports of UFOs in order to keep the truth from the public.

NOTE:  the sound on the first 3 minute section is difficult because of the live setting… after that we moved to a quieter area.

Matthew’s Message for Mother’s Day, May 12th

I feel Matthew’s Message is confirmation that we are currently experiencing the storm before the calm.  All is well, and the last dregs of 3D life are circling the drain. Of course, the lamestream is still trying desperately to paint a more dismal picture but as Matthew says, “fear energy is dissipating”. The energies don’t support that old diabolical misery and control any longer. People are marching onward to seize their freedoms and the cabal is visibly shaken and frustrated. Our current reality is about to fall apart. Fresh energies now coalesce into our new reality as we relax into a new way of being.

Matthew shares a very comprehensive overview today, so I’ll let you get to it!  Thank you Matthew and Suzanne.

Higher perspective of Earth; violence, duality; CIA, Boston marathon bombing; Zionist movement; UFO hearings; climate changing

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. We know it is difficult for you to feel elated about Earth being in fourth density when violence still has a firm place in your world, and you wonder where the promised Golden Age is.

Earth crossed the threshold of her Golden Age when she entered the safe harbor of fourth density almost six months ago, but many of her residents who accompanied her have not reached that density in spiritual and conscious awareness.  So it is understandable if you feel discouraged by what appears to be little progress toward a peaceful world.

Yes, we have mentioned these feelings before and now just as then, never is it with criticism. In all truth, we could feel the same if we saw only what you do, but we have the immense advantage of being able to view Earth from this exceptional vantage point.

We see the stunning differences in your world today compared with conditions at the beginning of Earth’s ascension only seventy-some years ago. We see ancient energy portals reopening and the incoming light being anchored all over the planet. We see the myriad sparkling lights of souls awakening as Earth keeps moving into ever-higher vibrations, and we see all of her Golden Age glories fait accompli.

You would feel not only encouraged, but jubilant if you could see all of this too, and how we wish you could!  But you can’t, so please let our knowledge of what has transpired and what is happening in this moment dispel any discouragement you may have so its low vibrations don’t dim your light. Your steadfastness in the light is as vital now as it always has been for you personally and for your society—you are the way-showers for the newly awakened soul-searchers.

Doesn’t the prevalence of violence show that darkness still has Earth in its grasp?  Briefly stated, that is what some readers have written to my mother, and their concern is shared by other lightworkers. We assure you, the darkness that shrouded the planet for millennia was left behind when Earth exited third density.

To explain why violence is ongoing even though the planet is securely in fourth density, we go back a bit in your timeframe. Along Earth’s ascension pathway, she passed through many energy levels and some time ago reached a level that started magnifying all characteristics and behavior. As the opposite ends of duality intensified, acts that reflect the best of humankind increased and it was the same with acts that reflect the worst.

Duality is at its zenith and everyone is reacting to the “magnified voice within”—persons with tendencies toward violence are following their heightened urges to act violently.

However, not everything is as it may seem. The Illuminati-controlled faction of the CIA still is active in terrorism, at times in conjunction with law enforcement personnel who unwittingly are abetting rather than capturing the perpetrators.  In addition to using the few remaining mind-controlled individuals whom they have programmed, the faction has a list of “likely” persons to blame for their terrorist activities. They fabricate a plausible foundation around selective facts about those individuals and feed that story to the media.

The bombing at the Boston marathon was their handiwork.  The two brothers “alleged” to be the bombers fit very well what the faction needed for that occasion. They had learned about the young men’s interest in simple bomb construction and, tying that to their “radical” religious convictions and the older brother’s months in Chechnya and Dagestan, they created “suspects” that the public would find believable.

It is sad for you and for us that any violent incidents still are part of life on Earth. They are tragic indeed for all who experience the loss of beloved persons or sustain severe injuries. We devoutly wish the grieving families could know that their members were greeted by “departed” family and dear friends upon entry into Nirvana, where life is filled with activity, diversity and joyful awareness that each is part of the Oneness of All.

Despite mainstream media’s belabored coverage of “acts of terror” and other heinous crimes, fear energy is dissipating. At soul level everyone knows that the planet is a hundredfold less “toxic” than it was only a few years ago, and as energy surges kept moving Earth into increasingly high vibrations, that knowledge started seeping into the consciousness. Many who formerly were deeply affected by media’s fear-mongering no longer are susceptible to it.

There is legitimate speculation and also strategic dire rumors about where Syria’s civil war may lead. There will be no more “full blown” international wars and attempts to use nuclear weaponry will not be successful. Ultimately, the freedom fighters in Syria will be victorious and, like other countries where the citizenry ousted despotic rulers, that nation also will go through a period of unrest before achieving social and leadership stability.

Israel’s persistent belligerence is the work of the Zionists—another of the Illuminati’s disparate groups—who serve only their own interests of conquest. Contrary to what they want you to believe, the Zionist movement does not represent the will of the Israelis or Jews anywhere else in the world. In time, this movement, which is losing favor even with its former staunch allies, will completely lose its credibility and influence.

It is so that many souls are denied legal, health care, education, economic and social equality; and unfair laws, surveillance methods and other activities are infringing upon your privacy and curtailing freedoms.  Chemtrails still are crossing your skies in some places and other polluting of your air, water and soil continues; so do desecration of your forests and dreadful treatment of animals in the seas and on land.

Governments cannot much longer ignore the demands for significant reforms in those areas and all other harmful situations. Beneficial changes arise from the actions of the peoples, and grassroots movements throughout your world are rapidly swelling in numbers and effectiveness.  You will see that all existing or proposed laws, policies, restrictions, products and systems that adversely impact life on Earth will be stricken incrementally.

Persons who are connecting the dots of positive developments reported in independent publications, Internet sites and television documentaries and interviews are feeling heartened. A recent dot with international application was in the United States. A group met with media representatives and a few former members of the Congress to speak about their personal observations and knowledge that offer clear evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life [Citizen Hearing on (UFO) Disclosure at the National Press Club, Washington, DC, starting April 29].

A dozen years ago the group was at the same venue for the same purpose.  That short meeting was completely ignored by the media—not to mention, the US government—and although the recent five days of formal hearings didn’t generate headlines around the globe, it was mentioned in some press and coverage was posted on numerous Internet sites.

But the far greater significance of the week-long event is that it occurred. The Illuminati’s influence in the United States, their last stronghold, has weakened so seriously that they could not prevent it. Your governments cannot continue much longer to cover up our family’s presence, but please don’t expect to shake hands with those who living among you or greet landing crews next week. An official statement that other civilizations do exist—or maybe only the likelihood that they exist—would be a cautious first step, and your leaders who have been involved in announcement planning still are arguing about When will people be ready to hear this?

Those leaders don’t know that the decision is not theirs to make. In His infinitely greater wisdom, God will know when to give the GO signal to the highest universal council, and then some of the thousands of crews surrounding the planet will join you. They will add their technologies to those developed by your scientists many years ago but usurped by the Illuminati, and when you no longer need their assistance, those family members will return to their homelands.

This is an appropriate place to address another concern shared by a number of lightworkers. No, the fact that there have been no mass landings does NOT mean that the benevolent ones in our universal family have abandoned you and a civilization that means to enslave you now is in place! The only crews in your skies are light warriors, and they are serving you in profoundly necessary ways.

Technologies on the ships are reducing pollution in the atmosphere, causing weapons of war to malfunction, preventing massive terrorist attempts, directing light into your waters to help sustain marine life, and blasting or vaporizing any small elements in space that could harm Earth. Vast, powerful civilizations still are beaming light from afar to the planet, and ETs right there with you who are in positions of influence are pressing forward in reform efforts.

Let us mention another area where ongoing arguments are pointless. “Global warming” due to humankind’s willful neglect, ignorance and denial absolutely is real, to be sure, but the melting of polar ice, record-breaking temperature extremes and other weather anomalies are Earth’s steps toward returning to a moderate climate globally, the way it was when the entire planet was “the garden of Eden.”

Skiers and other cold-weather sports enthusiasts need not fret that snow-capped mountains will disappear—most assuredly, they won’t! Earth’s majestic mountain ranges and awesome gorges formed by dynamic upheavals and mighty waters didn’t exist when the planet first came into being, but these spectacular aspects of her natural beauty that delight you delight her, too.

Mother, I think readers will enjoy the part of the transmission from the dear soul in Nirvana that pertains to climate. Please insert that, and also her later short conversation with you.

[The following is an excerpt of Grace’s information in Earth’s Golden Age - Life Beyond 2012. Her part of that book is a few brief selections of her several lengthy transmissions that became the “Grace” chapter in Illuminations for a New Era. The information below is from her first transmission, in 1999.]

My service at this point is studying the mechanics of taking apart weather anomalies and softening their effects in our atmosphere.  And I do mean “our”—like yours and ours.  We aren’t all that far from you, you know, and furthermore, we have such close bonds with you all that we aren’t separated in very many ways.  By our lighter density and the respective weather, yes, we are, but still it’s your AND our atmosphere I’m working on.

I know that sounds almost too weird to believe, but that’s the easiest way for me to tell you.  That isn’t at all how I’d describe it here, but you don’t have our words so how could you begin to know what I mean if I use our vocabulary?  There aren’t any synonyms or similar expressions there for this process.  It’s something that can’t help immediately, but in the long run, what I’m doing will make a good difference.

It’s not that I can harness the winds of Earth or act as if I’m a global umbrella in those major storms.  I’m studying how to contain the energy so that it can be dispersed rather than congregate and then explode.  I should have said dispersed in a routine and slow and easy way instead of just sitting for a while and then acting as if it’s got the whole world by the tail and then, watch out—here’s another hurricane or tornado!

It’s going to take a while for this to have any effect, you know?  There’s a lot more still to come by whatever designation it’s given—cleansing, purification, increasing the light, lightening Earth’s burdens of negativity, ascension process—but it all adds up to the very same thing—a lot of geological activity with pretty heavy damage is still in store.

There’s no way out of this, you know.  Energy is energy, and you can’t say, “Shoo, baby, go dissipate.”  Actually, that’s what I’m working on, how to get to that status of being able to handle things so that if rain is needed, it comes, just enough of it.  When it’s done, it goes away until it’s needed again.  The rhythm, the pattern is set, you see.

[The following is part of Grace’s and my short conversation in October 2011.]

These crews in your skies are getting antsy.  They’ve been ready for years to land and get going on the things they can do to help you, that their technologies can.  You’ve got some developments of your own that have been kept under wraps and a few of you know this and what they’re capable of, but just wait until you see ET tech in action!

Also, your weather and “natural” disasters—just a few words about that.  You know that for ages much of that has been created by technology combinations controlled by the Illuminati—well, that’s going to end in a big hurry.  Actually, it’s already slowed down a lot, and none of those claims about fantastic—as in fantasy-make believe, not fantastic-fabulous—catastrophic upheavals roving around the Internet will ever happen.  Just keep your eye on a glorious world, Earth’s Golden Age, and don’t be afraid of BIG changes—they’re all to the GOOD!

Grace, how are you doing with your “weather of the future”?

Wonderfully!  We’re all set for the time when Earth has dumped all the negativity and we can act on her choice for a moderate climate everywhere.  It won’t take as long as you might think to turn deserts into vegetable gardens!

Thank you, Mother. Now, dear Earth family, you know that people in Nirvana are doing more than beaming love to you—they’re serving in ways that probably you never imagined anyone living in a spirit world could manage.

Many countries are honoring mothers on this day, and all of your countries have special days to honor individuals who have made extraordinary contributions in one way or another. What rejoicing there will be when every day you honor self and all other souls in this universe as God’s family of divine beings.

LOVE and PEACE

5D Is Here: The Shift is Hitting The Fan

Contact Is Now, 5D Is Here

by James Gilliland

Many were waiting for the grand shift December 21st 2012. There was a shift. Yet it was the beginning—not the ending. The dramatic things people were expecting on the day did not happen, nor was it meant to. There was a setting of the energy for the days to come and the sensitives and adepts were the only ones who really felt and understood what happened. This gave way to the naysayers yet as we all know the big events happen soon after the skeptics have their say.

We are now in those changes. One gamma ray burst after another along with other rays within the electromagnetic spectrum are bombarding us. The magnetic poles are shifting, weakening, opening up the Earth to more consciousness, light and energy.

Earth hit by a gamma ray

There is a great transformation happening. The wheat is being separated from the chaff and how that translates to today’s society is, those who align with the wounded egos are being separated from those who align with the soul and spirit. Those operating outside of Universal Law are receiving the hard lessons, their deeds are surfacing, being exposed, and the reactions to their actions are being accelerated. The alignment with Galactic plane the end of the 25,000 year cycle is the main player in this unfoldment.

The ego, wounded and manipulated by social consciousness and the archon network can no longer operate within the new incoming frequencies. We are being given a choice. Yet each path leads in a different direction. The path to ascension aligning with our soul and spirit, fulfilling contracts we made before we incarnated, moving with Earth in her evolutionary process. Moving to the next level. Living in peace and harmony with each other and nature is the wise choice.

The path to descension—the downward spiral driven by a wounded ego and the programming of the matrix—leads to social, economic and environmental collapse. This is where the hard lessons reside. You cannot resurrect the past due to choices made by a wounded ego, the programming of the matrix influenced by the archon network. This will cause you the greatest pain and insecurity.

That world is the chaff and it is coming to a close. Lines are being drawn. Polarities are being amplified. And those who refuse to align with soul and spirit are of no use to soul and spirit. Their world will be one of disarray, hardship. Their bodies will fail.

There are symptoms of this process.

Your bodies will begin to talk with you. Some will scream at you. As they try to adjust to the new energies pains and diseases will come and go rapidly. There will be times of dizziness, spacing out, jumping between worlds then asking where am I and where have I been feeling out of sorts? This is often from slipping in and out of dimensions.

The veils between worlds are very thin and those on the path to ascension are moving back and forth. You will see lights, wavy energies, and flashes in your peripheral vision. Many will feel they just don’t belong anymore in jobs, relationships, even geographical areas. Some will gravitate toward higher expressions some will fall back into the old ways. You can’t drag your loved ones with you in this process. All you can do is hold the light, the consciousness. Allow others their path even if you know the outcome. They may need the hard lessons and that is the way their soul set it up.

Many actually believe they can choose the wounded and programmed ego drive and get away with it. They believe in ignorance they can choose against the path of soul and spirit—even act against universal law. News flash! Your soul and spirit have a different program for you and it will be as hard as you make it.

We are in those times all the prophets, saints and sages have warned us about. It is undeniable yet beyond even my own imagination there are still those who are denying it. Their soul and spirit along with the Source itself have a different plan. The old world of gaining love, acceptance and approval outside of self or from social consciousness is also coming to an end. Exacting self-worth through outer appearances and material acquisition is no longer applicable. Why? Because this society is so dysfunctional and wounded it has nothing more to offer. The ugliest and most painful trick you can play on yourself is aligning with it. Where is the security in aligning with a sick corrupt unconscious world imploding on itself?

The only real security is aligning with soul and spirit, stepping out of the old world and creating a new world driven by soul and spirit from within. Leave the dysfunction of the past behind you, let go of the old ways that no longer serve you, humanity or the Earth. Let go of the false security created by the insecurities within and make your own personal God/Spirit/Creator connection. Let that decide your future. Anything else will take you to the same fate as the chaff.

You are not alone in this process. The beautiful many saints, sages and masters as well as benevolent off-worlders, the Gods of old are all part of this process. Not the jealous wrathful images and regenerate ETs; the greater family of man. This is a grand unstoppable event. We can flow with it without resistance or we can brace against it with resistance. The second path goes into the resistance is futile category. Try stopping a tsunami or warring on consciousness, light and energy far beyond your imagination. They will both end with the same result. Time to release the past, be kind to yourself and others and get with the program. Align with soul and spirit become the wheat because harvest day is fast approaching for some it is just around the corner.

Be well and choose wisely.

Consciousness Rises, “and There Isn’t a Single Thing You Can Do to Stop It”

This is an op-ed from Gillian at Shift Frequency that I think sums up the current situation brilliantly.

Consciousness Rises     

Look around you. Now look within you. Do you perceive it? The disconnect between your inner awareness and the rapidly escalating collapse of an increasingly out-of-control matrix?

Yes indeed! The collapse of the controllers is happening. You need look no further than the President of the United States’ speech to the Ohio State graduation class for confirmation. He reads unabashedly from his teleprompter the following words:

“Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems; some of these same voices also doing their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices.” [emphasis mine]

Gum up what works, Mr. President? Your government’s most recent false flag in Boston? The corrupt practices of an out-of-control privately owned central banking consortium that’s debasing currency to the tune of $85 billion per month?

Reject which voices? The whistleblowers emerging from the World Bank, the Benghazi affair, the ET disclosures, the FDA-approved GMO food supply, the Guantanamo Bay hunger strike, HAARP, chemtrails, Agenda 21, Bradley Manning, Wikileaks?

Humanity awakens. The Spirit that lies within has begun its emergence to the detriment of that carefully-nurtured tyrannical enslavement agenda that has been so carefully hidden for so long. Yes, Mr. President. The peeps are waking up. They refuse to believe Bashar Hafez al-Assad the Syrian (born curiously enough on September 11 1965) released bio-chemical weapons against his people. That ship has sailed. They don’t believe the government numbers that herald “economic recovery.” They don’t want to take your vaccines or give them to their children. They don’t want war. In fact, they’re sick and tired of it. Most interesting of all, they no longer believe your mainstream media, which is why they turn in droves to alternative sources and you are forced to declare “you should reject these voices.”

Yes. Humanity awakens. And there isn’t a single thing you can do to stop it.

Blessings,

Gillian

UFOs Stepping Up the Visibility

Check out this photo of  Obama’s Air Force One and a UFO in Costa Rica on May 3rd.

UFO Sighting in Belgium on May 5th – now there’s a new trick!

Lodi, Wisconsin  May 8th – they say the same object was seen in Michigan on February 17th, 2013

Firefighters Trained in Triage for UFO Attack [video]

This video is from last summer, and it didn’t cross my PC at the time, but it’s encouraging to know that the reality of off-planet visitors is considered a possibility.

Of course, an “alien attack” is out of the question, unless the cabal tries it (Project Blue Beam), but it’s interesting that they’ve done this much in preparation—including how to medically treat injured aliens!

Chapter 13 (seriously) of The Fire Officer’s Guide to Disaster Control deals with how to treat an encounter. It’s rather humourous, but it seems the subject of UFOs and ETs is being taken more seriously, which is good!

President Obama is Well Aware of the ET Presence on Earth [video]

Thank you, Mr. Buchman and Mr. Bassett. Well said. (excerpt from the Citizen Hearing for Disclosure Apr 29 – May 3, 2013)

The People are now helping the government tell the truth they so desperately want The People to know, but just don’t have the wherewithall to say.

Former Minister of Defense for Canada Shares a Message from the ETs [video]

I was very proud of Paul Hellyer and his contribution to the Citizen Disclosure Hearing in Washington this past week. As former Minister of Defense and Member of Parliament, he remains one of the most outspoken citizens of Canada in our fight against the cabal.

Our Galactic families have visited the government a number of times to share their advice and offer assistance, but they were refused each time. The cabal wasn’t ready to give up its gig of power. Well, the gig is up!

New York Times Finally Covers the Citizen Disclosure Hearing

Visitors From Outer Space, Real or Not, Are Focus of Discussion in Washington

WASHINGTON — While President Obama was promoting an immigration overhaul in Mexico, six former members of Congress gathered two blocks from the White House to consider what they see as the enforced government secrecy surrounding another kind of visitor: the kind who come from a lot farther away.

Mike Gravel, a former senator from Alaska, left, in 2007, appeared this week on a panel to discuss extraterrestrial life.

Every day this week, the former legislators presided over panels made up of academics and — former, of course — government and military officials, who were there to discuss their research or their own eyewitness accounts of unidentified flying objects and the extraterrestrials who presumably would have occupied them.

“Something is monitoring the planet, and they are monitoring it very cautiously, because we are a very warlike planet,” said Mike Gravel, a former Democratic senator from Alaska who ran in both the Democratic and Libertarian presidential primaries in 2008.

Mr. Gravel and his fellow panelists were assembled by the Paradigm Research Group, which says it is committed to ending the government’s “truth embargo” on the existence of extraterrestrial life. The lawmakers were there in hopes that their presence and political credibility would be enough to persuade Congress to take the issue seriously.

“I’ve been exploring how we might get this issue out of the shadows of the lunatic fringe,” said Roscoe G. Bartlett, a former Republican representative from Maryland. Before his defeat last year, Mr. Bartlett was known for sounding the alarm on the threat posed to the nation’s energy infrastructure by electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, the shock wave from a nuclear weapon detonated beyond the earth’s atmosphere.

Called the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, the event might have been mistaken as advocacy for government transparency, and some of the panelists had impressive résumés.

“I’ve come to understand and appreciate the importance of open, transparent government and the power of truth,” said Paul T. Hellyer, who served as Canadian Minister of Defense during the 1960s.

“We are not alone in the cosmos,” he added.

One reason the ex-members of Congress agreed to sit on the dais and ask questions may have been curiosity.

“Our country has trivialized it, has made it a joke, has made it green people with horns sticking out,” said Carolyn Kilpatrick, a Democratic representative from Michigan who lost her seat in 2010. “Now I find that it’s much more than that. And it’s not a joke. And there is scientific data that there may be something there.”

Another reason might have been the $20,000 the organizers said they paid each panelist. But they are still maintaining a healthy skepticism.

“Just because the government might have had a document about how to handle extraterrestrials doesn’t mean there were any,” said Merrill Cook, a Republican from Utah who was twice elected to the House.

The panels this week have been low-hanging fruit for the news media while President Obama is out of town and Congress is out of session, and not all of the people who study U.F.O.’s think the meetings will help them improve their stature in Washington.

“There really is something to this issue, and there is a serious side to it, but that’s not what’s being presented as this event,” said Leslie Kean, a journalist and author of “U.F.O.’s: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record,” a collection of firsthand accounts by people who believe they saw them.

The conclusion that U.F.O.’s are proof of extraterrestrial life is misguided, she said, and the people who broadcast that belief hindered support for real scientific research.

Despite the ridicule that usually accompanies the discussion of U.F.O.’s, they have been quietly talked about in corridors of power here. Some panelists at the event this week counted among true believers John D. Podesta, a chief of staff in President Bill Clinton’s White House, because of his role in Executive Order 12958, which requires the declassification of most government documents over 25 years old.

But the possible existence of extraterrestrial life is not exactly why he believes in government transparency, Mr. Podesta said.

“At the end of the day, there are going to be people who say that even if you did that, there must be other files that exist that you’re not disclosing,” he said in an interview.

But objects in the sky have piqued his interest. In June 2011, the Center for American Progress hosted government officials, from the Pentagon, NASA and the Department of Transportation, as well as Congressional staff and former officials from intelligence organizations, for a briefing by Ms. Kean and experts from academia and foreign militaries.

The private briefing was organized to discuss a proposal that the government establish a small office of two staff members who would selectively investigate mysterious skyward sightings and seek to understand them by applying scientific method. The proposal did not refer to U.F.O.’s, but rather, U.A.P.’s, unidentified aerial phenomena, as if those who drew up the proposal were keenly aware of how their objective could be perceived.

“They were interesting, credible people who had observed aerial phenomena that were unexplained and worthy of additional follow-up,” Mr. Podesta said. “Going back and looking at and declassifying whatever government documents exist is a smart thing to do.”
