Since this post focuses on what the bible itself says about "remembering" I'd like to point out a few specific lines from the song above that may be strung together quite effectively..

Often this seems such an impossible task I have, to relate so much in such short brief spaces of time / space. I have done so much research and retained, I believe, most of what seems important. From the bible itself to the book of Enoch which was left out, to the Nephilim / fallen angels & Anunnaki / Nibiru / Planet X. From the true prophets to the prophetic music of Tool. The glories of space and the glories of God. Prayer / meditation / communication via God's true gift to humanity = DNA. The lies of the world that swirl around us in a matrix not of our own design. So much we can remember of an ancient past so filled with wonder yet we forget.. it all. The Sumerians / Anunnaki with which humanity / time may have begun through the genetic engineering of pre-human forms. It's quite a fantasy-land in which I seem to live but I like it here just fine ;)
Yet my focus today, as small and insignificant as it may be, is on simply remembering some of the things we have forgotten.. Or, as Tool so elequently points out in the lyrics above.. Fuck our short memories..
Out of space, out of place, out of time.. My #messages are incoherent, chaotic and cryptic. By design? Not that I know of.. only that I am compelled to relate, to relay.
All of the history of humanity is within each and every one of us.. Lying there, untapped, resources not used but ignored. Through ignorance or by design.
There is much information contained within the many links above.. I sincerely hope someone will find them useful and / or informative..

Is America In Trouble?
Welcome reader,
You do not have to believe what you find in this hub, but I would like to give you a heads up warning that should you not, then do not be surprised to hear it later. America- A Nation In Serious Trouble is about how wrong the general public has been led to believe something that is simply not true. Is America In Serious Trouble....?
You better believe it! America is like waterfall of red ink, so much so, that if the problem is not corrected soon, you will find life in America, extremely difficult. How difficult? Well, I'll answer that later on, but for now, do realize America could find itself without money to operate it's national government, which protects the entire nation, not only from domestic threats, but foreign threats as well.
America Has Too Many Problems! Increased Awareness Is Key!

Nidel Hasan Ft Hood reality check
---
Our legal systems are so screwed up that even when someone commits a heinous crime and confesses to murdering 13 fellow American citizens solely for political / religious reasons it's not allowed!
"Military LAW PREVENTS him from entering a guilty plea"
"likely years, if not DECADES, of appeals ahead"
"Hasan has twice dismissed his lawyers and now plans to represent himself at trial. He’s suggested he wants to argue the killings were in “defense of others” — namely, members of the Taliban fighting Americans in Afghanistan. The trial judge, Col. Tara Osborn, has so far denied that strategy.
Hasan has grown a beard while in custody that he says expresses his Muslim faith, but violates military rules on decorum. After a military judge ordered him forcibly shaved, an appeals court stayed that order and took another judge off the case."
It is not difficult AT ALL for Muslims to make a complete mockery of our "justice system". Just consider where would be with 10 Hasan attacks, or 50, or 100..

Fort Hood trial set to open after lengthy delays (source Washington Times
DALLAS — Hundreds of unarmed soldiers, some about to deploy to Afghanistan, were waiting inside a building for vaccines and routine checkups when a fellow soldier walked inside with two handguns and enough ammunition to commit one of the worst mass shootings in American history.
Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan climbed onto a desk and shouted “Allahu Akbar!” — an Arabic phrase meaning “God is great!” Then he fired, pausing only to reload.
SEE ALSO: Nidal Hasan touts self as ‘Soldier of Allah,’ as feds call shootings ‘workplace violence’
Hasan doesn’t deny that he carried out the November 2009 rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, that left 13 people dead and more than 30 others wounded. There are dozens of witnesses who saw it happen. Military law prohibits him from entering a guilty plea because authorities are seeking the death penalty. But if he is convicted and sentenced to death in a trial that starts Tuesday, there are likely years, if not decades, of appeals ahead.
He may never make it to the death chamber at all.
While the Hasan case is unusually complex, experts also say the military justice system is unaccustomed to dealing with death penalty cases and has struggled to avoid overturned sentences.
Eleven of the 16 death sentences handed down by military juries in the last 30 years have been overturned, according to an academic study and court records. No active-duty soldier has been executed since 1961.
A reversed verdict or sentence on appeal in the Hasan case would be a fiasco for prosecutors and the Army. That’s one reason why prosecutors and the military judge have been deliberate leading up to trial, said Geoffrey Corn, a professor at the South Texas College of Law and former military lawyer.
“The public looks and says, ‘This is an obviously guilty defendant. What’s so hard about this?’” Corn said. “What seems so simple is in fact relatively complicated.”
Hasan is charged with 13 specifications of premeditated murder and 32 specifications of attempted premeditated murder. Thirteen officers from around the country who hold Hasan’s rank or higher will serve on the jury for a trial that will likely last one month and probably longer. They must be unanimous to convict Hasan of murder and sentence him to death. Three-quarters of the panel must vote for an attempted murder conviction.
The jury will likely hear from victims and relatives of the dead. A handful of victims still carry bullet fragments in their body. Others have nightmares.
“It never goes away — being upset that it’s taken so long for this trial to come,” said Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, who was shot in the head, stomach and upper body. “So now’s the day of reckoning, which is positive — very positive.”
The trial’s start has been delayed over and over, often due to requests from Hasan. Any of the hundreds of decisions large or small could be fair game on appeal. The entire record will be scrutinized by military appeals courts that have overturned most of the death sentences they’ve considered.
“A good prosecutor, in military parlance, would be foolish to fight only the close battle,” Corn said. “He’s got to fight the close battle and the future battle. And the future battle is the appellate record.”
Hasan has twice dismissed his lawyers and now plans to represent himself at trial. He’s suggested he wants to argue the killings were in “defense of others” — namely, members of the Taliban fighting Americans in Afghanistan. The trial judge, Col. Tara Osborn, has so far denied that strategy.
Hasan has grown a beard while in custody that he says expresses his Muslim faith, but violates military rules on decorum. After a military judge ordered him forcibly shaved, an appeals court stayed that order and took another judge off the case.
The last man executed in the military system was Pvt. John Bennett, hanged in 1961 for raping an 11-year-old girl. Five men are on the military death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., but none are close to being executed.
An inmate was taken off death row just last year. Kenneth Parker was condemned for killing two fellow Marines in North Carolina, including Lance Cpl. Rodney Page. But Parker was given life without parole last September by an appeals court. The court found his trial judge should have not allowed him to be tried for both murders at the same time, nor should the judge have allowed testimony that the appeals court said was irrelevant to the crimes.
Parker’s accomplice in the killings, Wade Walker, was also sentenced to death, only for the sentence to be overturned.
Examples abound of other death sentences set aside. They include William Kreutzer Jr., who killed one soldier and wounded 18 others in a 1995 shooting spree at Fort Bragg, N.C.; James T. Murphy, who killed his wife in Germany by smashing her head with a hammer; and Melvin Turner, who killed his 11-month-old daughter with a razor blade.
Part of the problem, experts say, is that death penalty cases are rare in military courts.
A study in the Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology identified just 41 cases between 1984 and 2005 where a defendant faced a court-martial on a capital charge. Meanwhile, more than 500 people have been executed since 1982 in the civilian system in Texas, the nation’s most active death-penalty state.
While lawyers and judges in Texas may get multiple death penalty cases a year, many military judges and lawyers often are on their first, said Victor Hansen, another former prosecutor who now teaches at the New England School of Law. The military courts that are required to review each death-penalty verdict are also more cautious and likely to pinpoint possible errors that might pass muster at a civilian court, Hansen and Corn said.
Hansen compared the military’s conundrum to small states that have a death-penalty law on the books, but never use it.
“You don’t have a lot of experience or institutional knowledge,” said Hansen, who compared it to “the reinventing of the wheel every time one is done.”
If Hasan is convicted and sentenced to death, his case will automatically go before appeals courts for the Army and the armed forces. If those courts affirm the sentence, he could ask the Supreme Court for a review or file motions in federal civilian courts.
The president, as the military commander in chief, must sign off on a death sentence.
“If history is any guide, it’s going to be a long, long, long time,” Hansen said.

#Egyptian reality check
---
With all the #media & #government #fluff about the building of #democracy & constitutional realities in Egypt we need to keep some history in mind.
History such as how the population of the country really feels..
As seen in this article fully 62% of the Egyptian population believe "Egypt's laws should strictly follow the Quran". While "86% of the majority who support Sharia law favor the death penalty for Muslims who convert to another religion".
It's obviously a proxy war in which the USA controls the Egyptian military if not the propaganda machinery.
West vs East.. Christianity vs Islam.. Say what you want..
God help us all

Let’s face the facts. We are weak. We have psychological problems. We are humans. And we all know that. There are however people who use this knowledge and people who pretend it does not exist.
Most of the people don’t want to look in this direction, pretending it does not exist. They feel vulnerable admitting their weaknesses and flaws. This results in overprotection of the sensitive areas.
The small but much, much richer part of the people are using it. Advertisement, marketing, incentives, insurances, fashion, cinema, these are only a few of the fields where the knowledge of the people weaknesses and the abilities to manipulate them is the key to success. They need to make people spend more and more, year after year. The easiest way to do this is by pushing the weak spots of people and then offer protection from further pushing. All of us will buy it regardless of the cost.
The economy grows because people spend more. When people spend more there is more profit to be made from the corporations. But we are consuming way, WAY more than we need and all of this over consumption is what drags us deeper into the whole of environmental disasters.
The goods we over consume are the biggest source of pollution we can imagine. These goods suck energy, fossil fuels, materials and labor to be produced. And when we don’t need them anymore, (which is not a while after we bought them, because we actually never needed them in the first pace) they start sucking the same resources again to get rid of them. In this journey we create all of our troubles with pollution.
I’ll offer you a link to a short movie created on a broader version of this subject. http://www.storyofstuff.org/movies-all/story-of-stuff/
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle are the the 3 R. But Reduce will have the greatest impact and Reuse and Recycle are damage controls for what we have missed with the first one.
Enjoy the video.
Swiped from the net because I liked it.. If it matters here is a link to source
If you think about it, there is more than enough USED CRAP on the planet right now to sustain everyone. We could do away with "production" entirely for an undetermined amount of time..

Let’s face the facts. We are weak. We have psychological problems. We are humans. And we all know that. There are however people who use this knowledge and people who pretend it does not exist.
Most of the people don’t want to look in this direction, pretending it does not exist. They feel vulnerable admitting their weaknesses and flaws. This results in overprotection of the sensitive areas.
The small but much, much richer part of the people are using it. Advertisement, marketing, incentives, insurances, fashion, cinema, these are only a few of the fields where the knowledge of the people weaknesses and the abilities to manipulate them is the key to success. They need to make people spend more and more, year after year. The easiest way to do this is by pushing the weak spots of people and then offer protection from further pushing. All of us will buy it regardless of the cost.
