Smedley D. Butler Said:
"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

Lisa Garr Said:
I have a longing. I have a longing to belong. A longing to connect and to feel welcomed and celebrated. I think one of our core human desires is to intimately know the feeling of being unconditionally invited in. Invited into the hearts, minds and presence of our community, of our world.
When I had my NDE (Near Death Experience), I experienced eternity in a moment. I experienced an ascension into the blissful meshing of the all-that-is. Having been enveloped in, and subsequently returning to this world with, that memory deep in my bones, well, it has changed my life. When my spirit touched the blissful radiance of the beyond, I was still connected and alive on this planet, Earth. In a sense I became a bridge between that energetic belonging and this world - with all its issues, complications and surprise changes. I became a circuit.
Now, let me tell you. You are all already circuits for your own mystery, your own soul growth and your own story. When I say “Stay Aware”, I also mean holding vigil for the part of us that is deeply connected to the blissful belonging. By “Stay Aware”, I mean honor your ongoing practice of being present with the sensations and embodiment of your body.
Developing awareness is more akin to taking off a layer of clothing and finding new and more expressive ways to move, dance, touch and connect. This can be achieved in many ways, some of which we explore on The Aware Show with the many gifted healers, thinkers and visionaries of our time. Each modality, each experience is another moment in your journey towards belonging.
Next time you have a minute to take a “Mindful Moment”, take a seat somewhere you feel safe. Take a deep breath in and invite yourself back to yourself. I know it sounds silly, but just try it out. Breathe in and say aloud “I invite myself back to myself.” Pause, breath through the silence and notice any sensation in your body or feelings. Then repeat again “I belong to myself. I am here fully.” Again, pause for deep breath and non-judgmental observation of the experience. Take one last deep breath in your fullness and in your present state and say, “I am here, I am willing to connect and grow.”
Breathe with whatever subtle or not so subtle feelings or responses occur. Acknowledge what shows up and try not to get caught up with it. Just allow yourself to be aware of yourself. Allow yourself to become the conduit of your bliss and your physical circumstances. Together you are a circuit, and soon your dreams will become clearer and you will be guided towards making them a realty.
In love & gratitude, Lisa Garr

It's not the overwhelming toxics in our environment--it's the shot in the arm; it's not climate change caused by unfathomable volumes of chemicals tossed into the atmosphere--it's chemtrails; it's not selective news reporting by a press beholden to its advertisers--it's fake news; it's not horrid foreign policies in 3rd world countries supporting dictators and cartels--it's immigration; it's not a history of systemic racism and legacy of slavery and genocide--it's that darker skinned people are inferior; it's not the money made by the arms dealers, religions, and resource extractors--it's just that there always will be wars; it's not that the candidates are pre-selected and the system discourages good people from running--it's that the voting machines are rigged; it's not that the Democrats are the other arm of the capitalist party beholden to the banks--it's that they are socialists. Each distraction has a "something" that proposes an answer that the believer can latch on to, and those "somethings" run cover for the colossal facts that run rogue over our planet and its lifeforms. These distractions are deliberately inserted into the discourse to distract us from the root problems and most importantly, to divide us. Snap out of it!

I'm watching a Huell Howser Touring California TV Show and He Goes to Calexico... The Southern Most Town in California... While there He Visits the HOTEL DE ANZA... I Remembered that in San Jose We Also Had a Hotel De Anza... and a College Named De Anza... and I Realized that I Had No Idea What the Words DE ANZA Mean in English... So I Look it Up in Google Translate and It Says Of Anza... Well, That's Not Too Enlightening... So I Guessed there was a Man Named De Anza! and... He Was a Major Force in California History... He was the Soldier that Protected the Catholic Father while Building the Mission in San Francisco and the Army Base called The Presidio... and there is a Town named San Juan Bautista... Which is Odd because De Anza was Not a Saint... But I Guess there was Someone ELSE Named Juan Bautista... Oh, yeah... Saint John the Baptist! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Bautista_de_Anza

Fashion Question: What Makes a Scrub a Scrub? A Caregiver Has Been Wearing Normal Clothes around here for Months and Then Yesterday She wore Scrubs... It Was Obvious to me that they WERE Scrubs but I Can't Explain What Makes a Scrub a Scrub...
SE SAID: I’m no expert on scrubs, but I think they are the pants and shirt that most nurses and medical assistants wear. Can’t really describe them, but that’s what I consider scrubs. But again, I’m no expert. I’ve never worked in a hospital or doctors office.
I Replied: It's a Mystery... I can tell instantly that a person IS wearing Scrubs... But I Can't Define What makes a Shirt STOP being Regular Clothes... and START Being Scrubs... and The Caregiver in Question Wears Regular Clothes when she is working as the Facility Manager but on the Days that she actually works as a Care Giver... She Wears Scrubs!
Basically: Scrubs are Clothes designed to Be Easily Cleaned and Totally Sterile... No Secret Places for Germs to Hide... Unlike the Classic White Doctor's Lab Coat that Has Pockets! a Known Place to Harbor Bacteria. It's Really Difficult to Launder the INSIDE of a Pocket...
In the United Kingdom, scrubs are sometimes known as "theatre blues" (operating Theatre, Not Musical Stage Theatre...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrubs_(clothing)
