  1. Catherine & Solari Staff,

    Regarding the issue of # 5: “Seizing War Protesters’ Assets”
    Do we have any recent cases where the presidents executive
    order has been used to prosecute any anti-war participants,
    as outlined here:

    http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/5-seizing-war-protesters-assets/

    Are there any existing cases, or is this another precautionary
    action wherein the Bush administration is preemtively protecting
    it own ass by not having to adhere to the law – like the recent
    events at the DNC & RNC 2008?

    Or do you see this order being used in the future to silence any
    domestic dissidents? and what can be done to protect our assets
    should we choose to protest online and in the real world? What
    can be done to prevent against the freezing of bank accounts etc

    Your thoughts?

    Im very concerned, Please Advise – Thank you in Advance.

  2. I have #24 of Japan questioning 9/11 to be very exciting and encouraging. Fulford the author of this article has some very interesting videos on youtube. He claims there is a Society (mostly Asian) who are not happy with what has been happening in the world and are taking matters into their own hands if need be. This to me was good news and not to say I believe him, but what he says makes sense. The rest of the world is tired of the Western world running the show, and starting wars and destroying countries, people’s lives etc.

    Those who don’t want this are a majority. Anyway, I went to his site and found a link to the actual news report of said “Testimony in the Japanese parliament, broadcast live on Japanese television in January 2008”. This really happened. This was a ray of good news in the middle of so much, because this tells me that Fulford is not making up this bit anyway, and so there is a good chance that everything else he states in the video on on his site could be potentially mostly true.

    I am trying very hard to keep my mind and heart on what I want and as John Perkins calls it “dreaming” the world I want. It is a balancing act for sure. To stay informed and to do that in the face of everything, but I don’t see how else we can move forward. Another person from whom I bought gold says that use the fear you feel to put you into action, that is what fear is for, to notify you of a danger and the cause you to act, not become paralyzed.
