Building a hot water heater powered by the Sun.

The Sun is electric and it beams its energy down here one block after another akin to how we walk ... one foot after the other.  This tells us the story of how it works.

I am always interested to find DIY projects that can be made from recycled goods that have been discarded as rubbish.  We discard way too much and here is one of the biggest reasons we are in the materialism spiral down.  Its an addiction.  It is an addiction like a drug/substance, only here the substance is "STUFF" - people are addicted to buying stuff.

Build your own solar thermal panel.

I found this website that has the instructions for building a solar thermal heating unit from next to nothing and at first I was going to just link to it and I will but I also decided to copy down the instructions because they were that good and because I don't want to lose it if the web site goes down.  It isn't easy to find how to's that are this straight forward.  I am hoping I get to have a go at doing this soon myself.

Materials needed:

• Water
• 2 buckets
• Drill (with both drill bits and screw bits)
• Some scissors
• A saw (a simple hand saw will do)
• Some wood

• A box of wood screws
• Aluminum Foil
• Role of duct tape
• Angle Cutter (or hack saw)

The end result is fabulous - From The Sietch

 Time:

This project took about 3 hours of constructions time. It took a couple weeks to find all the parts.

Cally Wilson from Queensland gets my hero of the week award.

Claims from the latest corruption whistle-blower Cally Wilson, who was a former treasury analyst at ENERGEX,  (Queensland's government electricity supplier)  that staff at Energex were asked to manipulate the figures in the data so as to  artificially boost revenue.

Energex (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

An inquiry has been called for from many sectors.  Annastacia Palaszczuk, the Queensland opposition leader, said herself that this needs investigation to ascertain if Energex deliberately attempted to drive the prices up and defraud the general public who were their customers.

The Solar sector are asking questions too, given this comes straight on the heels of the government renigging on and removing the guaranteed 8c feed-in tariff which was to be paid to owners who were set up with solar power.

Of course Energex refute these corruption claims made by Cally Wilson.   I don't think anyone would be surprised by this stance.  But,  I also don't think there would be many who would believe Energex  either.

Campbell Newman demanded to see Cally.  That is a worry!  If it were me I wouldn't give him the time of day.  There is nothing that Newman could say to Miss Cally for example other than to threaten her life or the life of her family that would change her mind now she has come out, so why does he bother with this?  It makes Queensland Energy and Queensland government look like a bunch of Collooder's on a witch hunt and it is reminiscent of a government hiding something very detrimental to themselves here.
I look forward to following up the outcome of these allegations against Energex, it will go a long way to back up what is already been said in many sectors that Queensland is fraught with as much corruption as the New South Wales government is.

Symbolism - The Language of the Soul.

This window is the place where I do a lot of imagining.  I usually dream about big projects though and know what to do.

By Dee Smith

It is through the Soul's imagination that we can increase our capacity to know the divine; This is our spiritual growth.  This is a process of learning the archetypal language of the soul.  This is not a static language.  It is not an alphabet or symbol system.  It is the language of the imagination.

The imagination allows us to in-vision, to open the mind so that we can explore and discover the Soul's Archetypal world.  The imagination takes us beyond the banal identifications and routine symbolic representations into the depths, into the unknown within, and it is there that we encounter a divine landscape.

While current religious believers often seek God's wisdom outside of themselves, visionaries and mystics know that God speaks to the soul.  This divine communion with the soul is experienced through dreams and visions.

Jung says that the believer should not boggle at the fact that there are somnia a deo missa (Dreams sent by God) and illuminations of the soul which cannot be traced back to any external causes" (IBID, PARA. II).

But the vast majority do not turn inward to find God.  They seek God in the heavens above, in the church, in their religious leaders, even Gurus and mountaintops, but not within the soul.

EIN SOF

A beginning in understanding the Kabbalah ..

The Kabalistic term for the Deity prior to His self-manifestation in the production of the world, probably derived from Ibn Gabirol's term, "The Endless One" (she-en lo tiklah).

gif of ein sof: emanation theory (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

It was first used by Azriel ben Menahem, who, sharing the Neoplatonic view that God can have no desire, thought, word, or action, emphasized by it the negation of any attribute.

Jewish views on astrology (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Zohar explains the term "En Sof" as follows:

"Before He gave any shape to the world, before He produced any form, He was alone, without form and without resemblance to anything else.

Who then can comprehend how He was before the Creation?

Hence it is forbidden to lend Him any form or similitude, or even to call Him by His sacred name, or to indicate Him by a single letter or a single point. . . .

But after He created the form of the Heavenly Man [ ], He used him as a chariot  [] wherein to descend, and He wishes to be called after His form, which is the sacred name 'Yhwh'"

(part ii., section "Bo," 42b). In other words, "En Sof" signifies "the nameless being."  Jewish Encyclopedia 

The three letters composing the word "En" () indicate the first three purely spiritual Sefirot.

"Any name of God which is found in the Bible can not be applied to the Deity prior to His self-manifestation in the Creation, because the letters of those names were produced only after the emanation."

THE HUNT - BRIGGS feat Gurrumul .. It is what is and it is what it is son!

The first time I heard this track I was filled with goosebumpz all over my body.  To hear these two contrasting sounds together both being something I love and hold dear.  Language and Briggs rhyming.   I was touched to my very core.   There were many levels where I felt I was really inside of this he was spitting here in this track.   Homelessness, the fight still raging on.  I was happy to play this on my show last week and got a massive response from the listeners for playing it.  They loved it.

 

 THE HUNT LYRICS ..

No time to be nervous, I work like they don’t deserve it
These clowns get around like they’re missing a circus
Superb its amazing how they’re twisting the verbs and
The kids get excited and reach for the purse and
Spend their hard earned, start repeating your verses

Reaching for stars n not reaching the person
Jump in the deep end, just breaking the surface
Im not standing in line so they can not serve us
But you gotta be patient, are you willing to wait there?
When the timings right are you ready to take it?

I been honing my components, waiting for my moment
Now Im gonna own it, Just feed me my opponents
Ain't no one been a head of me, I’m spittin' kerosine
Their catalogue is junk mail, I’m leavin' legacies
And I give em every right to be mad at me
They can only take aim at the one they see

ANYTHING WORTH HAVING AINT NEVER COMING EASY
ITS THE HUNT THAT WE’RE ON THAT BRING ANOTHER MEAL

ANYTHING WORTH HAVING AINT NEVER COMING EASY
TO THE HUNT WE BELONG MAN THATS JUST HOW I FEEL

THE SYSTEM AINT BROKEN, ITS THE WAY THAT IT WORKS
IT IS WHAT IT IS SON, IT IS WHAT IT IS

ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING, A GIFT AND A CURSE
IT IS WHAT IT IS SON, IT IS WHAT IT IS

We survived a death roll, death toll's something special
Here lies the best, put that on my head stone
The epitaph fit, and the fact of that is
I got to cracking that whip and put a dent ya headphones
Homeless? wasn’t ready for home yet
I was building my name up, hedging my own bet
I was out on the road missing more than my own bed
Missing these pieces that were keepin my own head
Got caught up, sorta, swapped gin for water
Jordans for my daughter, brought up, borders
Crowd still applaud us, cause we give em four quarters
From standing in the corner with anxiety disorders
Glutton for punishment, I was heading back for seconds
So they hand me a sentence of antidepressants
And I'm citizen second in my land of descendants
But i’m independent like the pendant on my necklace

Listening to the song reminded me of police.   "THEY CAN ONLY TAKE AIM AT THE ONE THEY SEE"

The PM is locking down this great land as fast as he can?

A couple of days ago the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott announced he would jail people for standing up for their mother country which he carefully calls fighting with extremists.

Talking on national security the Abbott stated : "My unambiguous message to all Australians who fight with terrorist groups is that you will be arrested, prosecuted and jailed for a very long time."

"Legislation to create new terrorist offenses and to extend existing powers to monitor or to detain terror suspects will be introduced this week," the prime minister said.

The Abbott outlined a stack of responses to the so called  perceived heightened threat of a domestic terrorist attack here on Aussie soil. 

$630 million in funding is being directed to police, customs,  and intelligence agencies.  Biometric scanners will be at all international airports in the next year the Abbott said.  Read more here

 The jails in Australia are overflowing now. But that is another subject, or is it?

Australia's jails are already over the top full.  There is no more room for ordinary lawbreakers to be locked up and the PM is locking up more and more of those each day as well. 

This will have a dire flow on effect down the track because the unions will say they can't operate this way and the government  will then return with the grounds to see the complete privatization of the jails and the police service in Australia. 

I can hear the legislation forming on the paper as I write here.  There will be no more police union intervention to stop any police actions the government narcissists want with an introduced privatized sector here in policing. 

This scenario by police union members occurred with Bentley Blockade where 900 officers were to be dispatched to break the blockade on the North Coast of New South Wales and the police union spoke out against this vehemently.    To avoid this happening in the future, government will privatize the police force as soon as possible and  I envisage this will come onto the list within the 12 months.

In the mean time the country is now running on terror and people are saying the most bizarre things.  I found myself saying strange things also and so I got my burka out for a spin in case I needed to wear one for safety.  One never knows when one needs to blend in to the crowd and keep their head down low and go go go.

Another statement from Abbott that does not makes sense is the figures here:

"60 Australians were known to be fighting in Iraq and Syria, 20 had already returned to Australia while another 100 actively support the militant".

He really is scared of these people it appears.   Either this or he is being a war monger and whipping people up into a frenzy about all of this and getting hate firmly back on the agenda in the disguise of a peace agenda. 

Australians no longer fall for these constructed lies.  Australians want more from a leader than to take us into another war.  We have evolved but it is clear that our prime minister hasn't.  (for the record - I am not sure that is even possible)

Geomagnetic Disturbance, Space Weather Update - September 24th, 2014:

"ACE Solar Wind telemetry shows that the speed (yellow) is around 400 km/s, while the density (orange) is between 5 to 6 protons/cm^3 as of 07:16 UTC this morning. The Bz (red component) of the Earth's magnetic field has been tipping South since 22:00 UTC last night; this Southward Bz, with a max of -7, has been a factor in the current Geomagnetic Disturbance. According to NOAA's forecast discussion we're also "under the influence of a positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS)."

Dr. Tony Phillips, of SpaceWeather.com, is reporting on the Southward Bz and:

"GEOMAGNETIC UNREST: Today, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) near Earth is tilting south, not much, but enough to open a crack in Earth's magnetosphere.

X-ray Solar Flares

A solar flare is an explosion on the Sun that happens when energy stored in twisted magnetic fields (usually above sunspots) is suddenly released. Flares produce a burst of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to x-rays and gamma-rays. [more information]

Scientists classify solar flares according to their x-ray brightness in the wavelength range 1 to 8 Angstroms.

There are 3 categories of x-ray solar flares:

X-class flares are big; they are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms.
M-class flares are medium-sized; they can cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth's polar regions. Minor radiation storms sometimes follow an M-class flare. Compared to X- and M-class events,
C-class flares are small with few noticeable consequences here on Earth.

The Jesuit Oath - The Old Boys Club of Federal Politics in Australia in 2014

It is apparent it is a Catholic take over of the Australian government by an old boys club.  This is at various levels of government. 

The following Oath of the Jesuits is fairly full on so be careful not to be over awed by it.  This Jesuit connection is not good and its beginnings can be debated by each side as untrue because fear stops people from believing otherwise.  I am only presenting what I have found.

Its human nature, fear is what they use to impose their over arching laws to control and manipulate society.

 

Put this together with unfair protest laws on the table as well to take away for rights from the people. These laws proposed contravene the United Nations Covenant.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-19/protest-laws/5757298

AUSTRALIA has just four schools under the care of the Jesuits: St Ignatius, Riverview, and St Aloysius in Sydney; Xavier in Melbourne; and St Ignatius, Athelstone, in Adelaide. Yet in the present parliament, the prime minister-elect, Tony Abbott, and the leader-in-waiting of the Nationals and hence the deputy prime minister-in-waiting, Barnaby Joyce, are Riverview old boys.

The next treasurer, Joe Hockey, is an old Aloysian, and the future leader of government business and education minister, Christopher Pyne, is an old boy of Athelstone. The new Nationals member for Lyne, David Gillespie, is also an old Riverview boy, a classmate of Abbott.

Groundswell Gloucester Media Release

MEDIA RELEASE

17 September 2014

Gloucester Council Approves Primitive Camping Ground

This morning, Gloucester Council gave approval for a camping ground on private property at Jacks Rd Gloucester.  The camp will temporarily house people who want to object to the deeply unpopular AGL Coal Seam Gas development.

“The Gloucester gas project is significant to all of NSW, not just the local community and those immediately downstream.  Everybody deserves the chance to peacefully object to bad laws and bad decisions and the camp allows ordinary people who cannot afford motels to do this,” said Mrs Julie Lyford, President of Groundswell Gloucester.

AGL, who do not want to give the community and its supporters the chance to show their opposition, had objected to the application.

The support of more than 80% of submissions in favour of the camp was in line with many surveys of the public on attitudes to CSG in NSW.  A survey conducted by AGL asked, ‘How supportive are you of CSG exploration in NSW?’  Thirteen percent replied ‘supportive’.

Mrs Lyford said, “AGL would like to think that they have a social license for their gas project at Gloucester but, despite their public relations onslaught, the evidence is to the contrary”.

The campsite was approved subject to conditions.  The conditions include a security bond of $26,000 as a guarantee against damage to public land.  Groundswell Gloucester is a non-profit community organisation with an annual budget that is a small fraction of that amount.

“Groundswell cannot just write this cheque” said Mrs Lyford, “we are asking 1000 Australians to show their support for Gloucester and our cause by donating $26 each to our camp fund.  Go to our web site www.groundswellgloucester.com.au for details.”

Earthquake on Guam .. M Class Flare was just days ago.

Solar Flare (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Yesterday there was a sizable earthquake 7.4 in the Northern Pacific Region, North of Papua New Guinea.   It was located at Guam just west of the Mariana Trench.

 The quake was 172km deep, and as a result a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami was not expected.

"A destructive tsunami was not generated because this earthquake is located too deep inside the earth," the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said.

Guam, the largest island in Micronesia with a population of 180,000, is no stranger to earthquakes, but tsunamis hit only rarely.

SEE USGS LINK HERE

A few days ago the sun unleashed a major solar flare.  An M Class Flare in fact and this has become apparent to many people that when this occurs, an earthquake always follows.

Why does this happen?  Well for those with  no connection to the planet and the universe I suppose it would be difficult to understand the perspective myself and others have about this phenomena.   I don't find putting this together a problem.  The Sun does more than people think.

The magnetic energy that streamed down here usually takes approximately three days to effect change here.  This M Class Flare  just effected the resonance of our planet and our planet responded by have a quake.

I consider it like someone waving at someone and in turn that person waves back.   The second person would not  have waved unless the first person initiated this.   I like to think of these large scale weather events like this.

GLOUCESTER COUNCIL APPROVED BLOCKADE CAMPSITE!

THEY STIPULATED A BOND  ... just under $30,000
 
This morning at their monthly meeting, Gloucester Shire Council were under the spotlight with the AGL Blockade campsite Development Application and discussion re the submissions.

Photo compliments of Bruce Derkenne

READ COUNCIL PAPERS HERE

There were many submissions against the camp but the number for the camp far outweighed those against.  After discussions the camp got the green light.

As yet minor structural changes to the roads and erecting of signage by council is to occur before the commencement of the camp.  Look Out AGL  --->  Australia have got a lot to say to your corporate madness.

ONE WELL HEAD for EVERY TEN ACRES!!

In Australia we are under attack from the major corporate Energy companies.  In Queensland it has become such a health problem for those still living in the gas fields.  Government is denying any correlation to health issues and drilling in the area.  We all think differently.  I have seen these children with bleeding ears and bleeding noses and I know its the drilling that has caused their serious health impacts.  Proving this is another kettle of fish though.

One of the Fracc Site in Gloucester

If you want to understand what happened in the USA that brought this industry to another level and changed gas extraction here in Australia as well.  Halliburton is all over it down under.  Recently at Gloucester NSW, Halliburton trucks have been seen and AGL are about to Frac there.

We have the office of Coal Seam Gas in the state of NSW.   This office is supposed to take care of the contracts and make sure there is only a small impact, and none to people and water.

  With the Gloucester Gas Project, the OCSG changed the rules.  This is criminal behaviour by our politicians in NSW.   I have many unanswered questions regarding the procedure for the rubber stamping of this project by AGL.

Below is a very in depth video that is well worth watching if you want to totally familiarize yourself with the hydraulic fracturing process employed to get this natural gas from kilometers under the ground.

The land is in crisis and so is the water and the air.  I have been looking at the drilling at the Coopers Basin in South West of Queensland and the North East of South Australia because of the health of the indigenous peoples who live there.   People are sick.  The government have many excuses for this problem, but Mining is not one of these.

The Halliburton Loophole

Content taken from Burning Question: What Would Life Be Like Without the Halliburton Loophole:

“The loop­hole refers to the Energy Pol­icy Act of 2005, which exempts the hydraulic frac­tur­ing process, also known as frack­ing, from fed­eral over­sight under the Safe Drink­ing Water Act of 1974. Then Vice Pres­i­dent Dick Cheney did have a hand in get­ting the exemp­tion put into the Energy Pol­icy Act. He chaired Pres­i­dent Bush’s Energy Pol­icy Task Force, which rec­om­mended frack­ing be excluded. And Cheney is a for­mer Hal­libur­ton exec­u­tive. Hal­libur­ton, by the way, began frack­ing in the 1940’s to extract for oil. But the use of frack­ing, com­bined with hor­i­zon­tal drilling, has only recently been used to mine shale gas.The loop­hole does have an excep­tion. If drilling com­pa­nies use diesel fuel to frack a well, they do have to get a fed­eral permit.

Also amended in the 2005 Energy Pol­icy Act was the Clean Water Act. Con­gress enacted the CWA back in 1972 as a way to reg­u­late dis­charges into the country’s rivers and streams. The CWA was amended in 1987 to include storm water run-off. But oil and gas pro­duc­tion are exempted from those reg­u­la­tions. And in the 2005 Energy Pol­icy Act, those exemp­tions included oil and gas con­struc­tion. Envi­ron­men­tal­ists worry about run-off from well pads, pipelines and con­struc­tion sites.

With­out fed­eral over­sight, it’s up to the states to reg­u­late gas drilling.”

“And it’s not just the Clean Water Act, and the Safe Drink­ing Water Act that exempt the oil and gas indus­try. The Clean Air Act, passed by Con­gress in 1970, exempts oil and gas wells from aggre­ga­tion. That means, each well site is con­sid­ered an indi­vid­ual source of pol­lu­tants, and does not take into account all of the well sites in a spe­cific area.

When it comes to the han­dling of waste water, or frack water, that too is exempt from a fed­eral statute called the Resource Con­ser­va­tion and Recov­ery Act. The RCRA tracks indus­trial wastes from “cra­dle to grave.” But when it comes to the oil and gas indus­try, as long as the waste water is on the drill site, or being trans­ported, it is not con­sid­ered haz­ardous. This also applies to drilling mud. That’s why trucks car­ry­ing waste water, which con­tains high lev­els of salts, toxic chem­i­cals, as well as radioac­tive mate­r­ial, may be labeled “resid­ual waste.”

The National Envi­ron­men­tal Pol­icy Act, or NEPA, requires fed­eral agen­cies to do envi­ron­men­tal impact state­ments if major indus­trial projects would impact the envi­ron­ment. But the Energy Pol­icy Act of 2005 rel­e­gated oil and gas oper­a­tions to a less strin­gent process.

Finally, the Toxic Release Inven­tory requires indus­tries to report toxic chem­i­cals to the EPA. But the oil and gas indus­try are exempt from this reporting.”

DoPE Probes 'Ghost' Greenie Who Oversaw Coal Giant's Environmental Plan

DoPE Probes 'Ghost' Greenie Who Oversaw Coal Giant's Environmental Plan

Reprinted from the New Matilda

By Thom Mitchell

The troubling tale of Whitehaven Coal, a government department with a very unfortunate acronym, and a green group that never was. Thom Mitchell reports.

The NSW Government is investigating the presence of a ‘ghost’ green group after revelations mining giant Whitehaven Coal has been operating a key consultation panel without environmental oversight for more than a year.

That panel – the Maules Creek Community Consultative Committee (CCC) – signed off on a Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP) which is now the subject of an ongoing legal battle.

The plan, environmentalists say, does not adequately protect one of the nation’s most vulnerable ecosystems from the open-cut coal project, and did not provide proper avenues for community consultation.

Documents obtained by New Matilda reveal that Whitehaven Coal was directed by the Department of Planning & Environment (DoPE) in June last year to ensure it had suitable environmental representation on the community panel for the $767 million coal project.

A senior official, writing on behalf of the Director General of DoPE, warned Whitehaven Coal “that the intention of including a representative from an environmental special interest group is to ensure sufficient comment and feedback on biodiversity issues”.

The DoPE was concerned after it learned Whitehaven’s nominated environmental group, Greening Australia, had not shown up to the inaugural meeting of the Maules Creek CCC, where the Biodviersity Management Plan (BMP) was the main topic of discussion.

The DoPE directed Whitehaven to ensure that Greening Australia “be afforded the opportunity to provide comments on the BMP, either in writing or at the next CCC meeting”.

More than a year down the track, the company’s published minutes reveal no environmental group has ever attended a single meeting of the Maules Creek CCC.

But further documents obtained by New Matilda reveal that those minutes record Greening Australia as having offered its apologies for non-attendance.

Greening Australia says it has never, on any occasion, given apologies for not attending meetings with Whitehaven, because it never even knew the meetings were being held.

In a scathing letter to Whitehaven Coal dated August 21, 2014, a copy which has been obtained by New Matilda, a senior Greening Australia official says he is “extremely disappointed” with Whitehaven Coal’s conduct and formally resigns from the Maules Creek CCC, describing the minutes as “an inappropriate record” on the grounds that “Greening Australia was noted in the minutes as an apology”

“… Clearly we had no knowledge of any meeting being held between August 2013 and August 2014 and would ask that you strike any reference to Greening Australia accordingly,” the official writes.

Whitehaven Coal is chaired by former Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile, the long-time Nationals member for the seat of Lyne, on the north coast of NSW.

The Maules Creek CCC is chaired by Vaile’s former National Party colleague, John Turner, a one-time NSW shadow minister for mining whose state seat overlapped Vaile’s.

Mr Turner did not respond to repeated requests for an interview with New Matilda, nor did he respond to a detailed list of questions about how the minutes came to wrongly record apologies from Greening Australia.

A spokesperson for Whitehaven Coal also declined to explain the discrepancy, but issued a written statement defending the company.

“We have written to the Department to explain our position on this  matter, as is proper under the circumstances,” the spokesperson said

“It is appropriate that the Department consider the company’s  position and we will continue to work closely with them to ensure that our community consultation obligations are being met.

“Maules Creek has been through one of the most intense and rigorous
processes of regulatory, legal and public scrutiny for a project of its
size. Any suggestion to the contrary is wrong.”

NSW Greens parliamentarian, David Shoebridge has written to the NSW Minister for Planning & Environment, Pru Goward demanding that operations at Whitehaven Coal cease until the issue is resolved.

“Where, as here, there is evidence of systemic failure in the implementation of a key planning condition it is essential that you, as Minister, intervene to halt the operations of this mine until this matter is addressed,” Mr Shoebridge wrote.

“This would of necessity require an independent inquiry into the failings of the [Maules Creek] CCC and scrutiny of the decisions of the CCC given the prima facie evidence [of a discrepancy] and failure to comply with the directions and conditions issued by the Department of Planning.”

The Maules Creek mine, still under construction, will fall within the Leard State Forest in the north west of NSW, a wilderness area that is home to the largest remaining patch of critically endangered Box-Gum Grassy Woodland in NSW, an ecosystem of which just 0.01 per cent remains.

Whitehaven’s troubled Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP) has hit more than just a political hurdle over the disputed minutes.

The BMP is now facing a three-pronged attack – in the NSW parliament, in the courts,
and on the ground, where environmentalists, activists, farmers and local residents have maintained a protest camp for more than two years, with almost 250 arrests.

Local community group – Maules Creek Community Council – has commenced legal proceedings in the Land & Environment Court, arguing that threatened species are “likely to be slaughtered in their nests” because under the BMP, Whitehaven is seeking to clear the forest at a time when fauna are at their most vulnerable.

“The question is: Why is the miner applying for, and the DoPE
considering, allowing clearing in spring for this year, when they accept
that in the future it is not acceptable to clear at that time?”

the group said in a written statement issued earlier this week.

“Is the NSW Government changing the rules to allow unnecessary harm to threatened species to suit a coal mining company?”

The open cut mining project has also come under assault from environmentalists, who say the Leard should be off-limits to mining.

Ecologist Phil Spark has studied the Leard State Forest extensively. He told New Matilda that the region was “unique” and “irreplaceable”.

“The 28 threatened species known to occur (in the Leard State Forest)
is a very high number, higher than that found in many of our National
Parks,” Mr Spark said.

“The reason it’s so high is because many of the species are dependent on the Box–Gum Grassy Woodland

Local residents have also raised concerns about the DoPE’s failure to ensure proper compliance.

Peter Watson, a local farmer who serves on the Maules Creek CCC said the Department of Planning & Environment needs to ensure that due process is followed when changes are made to the mine’s Management Plans.

“If there is a requirement for an environmental representative on the CCC then the planning department compliance team needs to ensure that a proper person is appointed, and ultimately that they be present.”

Nic Clyde, a senior climate campaigner with Greenpeace Australia agrees that Leard boasts enormous biodiversity value. He was scathing of the approval process for Maules Creek, saying it was now “so mired in questions” that construction for the mine should cease while the process is audited.

“NSW Planning and Environment and Whitehaven Coal are both responsible for this debacle,” Mr Clyde said.

“There’s a very good reason why an environment group should have been represented on the CCC. The Leard State Forest is a sensitive
environmental area that 85 per cent of the NSW community thinks should be out of reach to coal miners.”

“This is a project that should never have been allowed.” New Matilda’s investigation into Whitehaven Coal and the operations of the Maules Creek Mine will continue next week.

Queen Boudicca - The courageous warrior queen who fought for freedom from oppression, for herself, and all Celtic tribes.

QUEEN of the ICENI TRIBE
"I am descended from mighty men! But I am not fighting for my kingdom and wealth now. I am fighting as an ordinary person, for my lost freedom, my bruised body and my outraged daughters ....consider how many you are fighting . . .and why!  The you will win this battle, or perish.   That is what I, a woman plan to do! - Let the men live in slavery if they will."

Let the religiturds,  all the ones who love their pig, live in slavery for all time and perish accordingly. Gaze upon those you think are the cavalry, and know --- they are your beloved controlled opposition.   The very ones who aid are your real enemy!  If I said nothing I would be as they are, a cog in the wheel of the most determined enemy!
Choose wisely..  see things for what they really are not what you want them to be. This is the secret.

I will not go quietly.  I will not go along with what I know is wrong.

Its not quite Queen Boudicca, and I don't have a very sharp steel sword in my right hand.  What I do have is a sharp pen in my right hand and I use the principal that the pen is mightier than the sword. 

I write about the truth as much as I can.  I would love this to be my legacy.  I would posthumously love it if my daughters read the wisdom I have chronicled here on the pages from On the Hill.  Wouldn't that be special if they read this and thought - she did know what she was talking about, perhaps we could have tried to listen.

The Solfeggio Frequencies

Free Solfeggio Tones - Download  (136Mb)

(Reprinted from Wikipedia)

Solfeggio frequencies are a set of nine tones that, according to some, were used centuries ago in Gregorian and Sanskrit chants, however there is no evidence of this that can be cited. These chants contained special tones which were believed to impart spiritual blessings during religious ceremonies. The Solfeggio frequencies include:

• 01 = 174 Hz

• 02 = 285 Hz

• Ut = 396 Hz   [Liberating Guilt and Fear]

• Re = 417 Hz   [Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change]
  

• Mi = 528 Hz   [Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)]
  

• Fa = 639 Hz   [Connecting/Relationships]
  

• Sol = 741 Hz   [Awakening Intuition]
  

• La = 852 Hz   [Unconditional Love; Returning to Spiritual Order]
  

• 09 = 963 Hz

The numerical values of the Solfeggio Frequences are generated by starting with the vector (1, 7, 4) and adding the vector (1, 1, 1) MOD (9). Each higher frequency is found by adding (1, 1, 1) MOD (9) to the previous lower frequency. The final frequency, when (1, 1, 1) is added to is, returns the frequency to the lowest tone (1, 7, 4).
Ut = 396Hz which reduces to 9 [reducing numbers: 3+9 = 12 = 1 + 2 = 3 ; 3+ 6 = 9]

Re = 417Hz which reduces to 3

Mi = 528Hz which reduces to 6

Fa = 639Hz which reduces to 9

Sol = 741Hz which reduces to 3

La = 852Hz which reduces to 6

They also state that Mi is for "Miracles" or 528Hz - is the exact frequency used by genetic engineers throughout the world to repair DNA.

^[1] The syllables used to denote the tones of this scale are: Ut, Re, Mi Fa, Sol, La. They are taken from the hymn to St. John the Baptist. The first stanza of the hymn is: Utqueant laxis Resonare fibris Mira gestorum Famuli tuorum Solve polluti Labii reatum Sancte Iohannes.^[2] Translation: “So that your servants may resonate (resound) the miracles (wonders) of your creations with loosened (expanded) vocal chords. Wash the guilt from (our) polluted lips Saint John”.
The Solfeggio frequencies are cyclic variation of the numbers 369, 147 and 258^[3] Each frequency has specific spiritual and physical healing properties. It is said that they are part of a process that can assist you in creating the possibility of life without stress, illness, and sickness.^[4]

Chinese Mythology

Xi Wang Mu

The “Queen Mother of the West” in Chinese mythology. Her oldest tales seem to date from the late Zhou or Han dynasties, and her story and attributes underwent great changes as time went on and she grew more important as a Daoist figure.

The ancient goddess started out as the goddess of plagues. In early mythological tales, Xi Wang Mu was portrayed as a monster, with the head and face of a human being, the teeth of a tiger, and the tail of a leopard. She ruled over the demons of plague and illness.

By the first century a.d., the monster had been transformed into a benevolent noblewoman who helped human beings become immortal. In late Daoist myth, she plays an important role in the many tales about the Ba Xian, or Eight Immortals, helping them learn the secrets of immortality and inviting them to feast on the peaches of immortality from her garden orchard. She is also an important figure in the story of Yi and his wife, Zhang E, to whom she gives the Elixir of Eternal Life.

Some later legends say she is the wife of Dong Wang Gong, the “Royal Lord of the East,” who kept track of the Daoist Immortals. The royal couple had nine sons and 24 daughters and lived in Kunlun in a palace with buildings made of marble and jasper. A nine-story jade pagoda rose to the sky, overlooking sparkling brooks and gorgeous gardens where magical peach trees grew. The fruit from these trees was said to blossom and ripen only once every 3,000 years. Eating it made a person immortal.

As the myths about her became more popular, she was further transformed into the wife of the Jade Emperor, Yu Huang, at the time the highest god in the pantheon of deities.

Various emperors were said to have visited her mountain palace in order to legitimize their claims to rule. Daoist philosophers considered her to be Yin, the female element of the Yin and Yang concept of harmony. Some mythologists have connected her to a deity mentioned as the “West Mother” in oracle bones from the Shang dynasty.

If I was to interpret the symbolism in this image, I would say it tells the story of creation once again.  I see the  bowl of pomegranates, the two fans, the birds gazing in differing directions.   I see the triple crown of illumination.  I see the two colours of blue and red.  I see the energy of space poured out upon the earth from the fertile place down a ladder of seven.  I see the triple nature of our divinity shown in the very last strand of the centre cloth flowing down.

BURNING TIMES CHANT

 ~by Charles Murphy~

Long Long Shadows  as evening comes at Tallowood  NSW

 In the cool of the evening, they used to gather, 'neath stars in the meadow, circled near an old oak tree.

At the times appointed by the seasons of the Earth, and the phases of the moon.
In the center of them stood a woman, equal with the others, and respected for her worth.
One of the many we call the Witches, the teachers and the keepers of the wisdom of the Earth

The people grew through the knowledge she gave them, herbs to heal their bodies, spells to make their spirits whole.
Hear them chanting healing incantations, calling forth the Wise Ones, celebrating in dance and song

Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna

There were those who came to power through domination, and they bonded in the worship of a dead man on a cross.
They sought control of the common people by demanding allegiance to the church of Rome.
And the Pope declared the Inquisition, it was a war against the women whose power they feared.
In this Holocaust against the nature peoples, a million European women died.

And the tales are told of those who, by the hundreds, holding together, chose their deaths in the sea.
Chanting the praises of the Mother Goddess, a refusal of betrayal, women were dying to be free.

Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna

Now the Earth is a witch, and the men still burn her! Stripping her down with mining and the poisons of their wars.
While to us the Earth is a healer, a teacher, a mother.
She's the weaver of the web of life that keeps us all alive.

 She gives us the vision to see through the chaos.
She gives us the courage, it is our will to survive!

Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna....(repeat ad lib)
