Municipal payouts to families of Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Walter Scott of N. Charleston, LaTanya Haggerty of Chicago and Jonathan Ferrell of Charlotte, among others:
9-9-15

there's little evidence that the financial penalties lead to any kind of reform in police departments, says Schwartz, who examined more than 9,000 cases, dated 2006-2011, in 81 jurisdictions around the country. "Part of what I find troubling is that police departments aren't [suffering] any financial sanctions for increased payouts. Nor are they enjoying any benefits from reducing payouts," she says. "Their budgets are really very strongly insulated from the financial effects of their actions." Just 0.02 percent of dollars to plaintiffs in police misconduct suits were paid by the offending officers themselves.

Police departments, therefore, are under no direct pressure to change, says law professor Kami Chavis Simmons, director of the Criminal Justice Program at Wake Forest University....
The vast majority of incidents of alleged police abuse never result in a payment to victims or families, let alone the national attention given to the cases of Gray, Garner, Tamir Rice in Cleveland or Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri -- all African-American males who died in altercations with police. Victims in small communities might find it hard to get a lawyer to take their cases, Simmons says, since it would require a local attorney to take on an entire police force – along with the political and professional backlash that might engender.
Civil cases of police misconduct are unusually hard to prove, says Carol Sobel, a Santa Monica, California-based lawyer who specializes in cases of police accountability. Most case are in federal court, and the rules are stricter than they are for criminal cases, she explains, with a plaintiff-victim needing a unanimous verdict from a jury. The defense "only needs one [juror] to say, the officers were doing the best they could, that they shouldn't substitute their judgment for the police's" to stifle a claim, Sobel says.
Lawyers for the city or town have far more resources at their disposal, and many ways to drag out a case, adds Terry Gilbert, a Cleveland attorney who has spent decades representing police brutality complainants.  http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/09/09/police-settlement-cases-rare-and-rarely-deter-misconduct

The settlement with Garner's family won't require the city to admit liability for his death. The unarmed black man died after police placed him in a chokehold last year.  http://www.npr.org/2015/07/14/422800610/new-york-will-pay-eric-garner-family-5-9-million-to-avoid-lawsuit

The relatives of an unarmed black man who died after being put in a white police officer's chokehold said Tuesday that the nearly $6 million settlement they reached with the city wasn't a victory as they continued pressing for federal civil rights charges.
"The victory will come when we get justice," Eric Garner's mother, Gwen Carr, said a day after the $5.9 million settlement was announced.

"Justice," added one of Garner's children, Emerald Snipes, "is when somebody is held accountable for what they do."    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-eric-garner-police-chokehold-case-settlement-20150713-story.html

The Tamir Rice case shows how prosecutors twist grand juries to protect police

The grand jury process didn't fail this time. It worked exactly how prosecutors wanted it to — that's the problem.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/12/29/in-tamir-rices-case-the-grand-jury-process-was-turned-upside-down/

........................................................................................................................................................
Ever since his 2006 victory, Kleine has relied on the officers of those unions to help him convict everyday criminals. Omaha officer Alvin Lugod, for instance, was called to appear as a prosecution witness a dozen times, according to records released by Kleine’s office. 
Yet when Officer Lugod was facing possible criminal charges himself in February for fatally shooting an unarmed man in the back, Kleine saw no reason to step aside. Instead, the prosecutor oversaw a secret grand jury process that declined to indict his colleague.

But cellphone and surveillance footage show Ross catching up to (Freddie) Gray as two bike patrol officers push his friend face-down on the sidewalk. Gray's arms and legs are bent behind his back.
Ross paces back and forth and asks a neighbor to get the badge numbers of the officers. "Why the [expletive] are you twisting his leg like that?" he asks.
As police load Gray into the van, Ross and others begin to retreat, and the vehicle drives off. When it stops a block away, the bystanders run over.
Ross borrowed a cellphone to record the stop at the intersection of Baker and Mount streets. It would turn out to be the last footage of Gray while he was still conscious.
In that video, Gray lies face-down and motionless in the van, his legs hanging out the back. Police fasten irons on his ankles and load him back in, head first.     http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/freddie-gray/bs-md-freddie-gray-friends-20151113-story.html

Do right yourself physically, mentally and spiritually, and the best will come to you.

In their lack of attainment the dark ones huddle in rows; they lack courage and draw strength from one another’s ignorance.  But the shining lives of the avatars of God and the healing devotion of the many savants of cosmic law turn the great wheel and grind to powder the deeds of the dark ones….the arrows of the Anointed One shall captivate the earth.  The armies of light shall move forward, the dark ones shall lie broken upon the sand, and the children of the sun shall shine forth in righteousness reflecting the Father’s intentions and admonishments.                    -Morya El:  Pearls of Wisdom 13:5

Man is made, physically, from every element within the earth.  So, unless there is a coordination of those elements of the environs in which the animal-man operates, he is out of attune--and some portions suffer.  He must contain and command those elements.  These are subduing, using, controlling, not being controlled by but controlling those environs and influences about same. 

-Edgar Cayce (3455-1)

it is as necessary to keep the body coordinating and clean as it is to keep the mental attitude right as well as the correct spiritual purposes and desires--and most of all keep all three consistently; and don't be one thing in one way and another in another way....Do right yourself physically, mentally and spiritually, and the best will come to you.      -Cayce (5203-1)   

What we think and what we eat...make what we are, physically and mentally.    -Cayce (288-38); Cayce quotes in The Edgar Cayce Handbook for Health by Dr. H. Reilly, 1975, pp. 63-4.

In correlating nutrition with health and (natural/organic) diet deficiency with disease Cayce was far ahead of his time.    -Dr. H. Reilly:  ibid., p. 118

Let the value of life rest upon a gold standard that comes from the golden rule which is the principle of the divine economy

...............................................................

 

   Let the value of life rest upon a gold standard that comes from the golden rule which is the principle of the divine economy--do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  This golden rule is applied to the gold of the heart, the golden wisdom that serves the needs of the community through love--applied love that becomes compassion, charity and the sharing of the joys of the abundant gold with those who entertain the impoverished sense.              -Saint Germain:  Pearls of Wisdom 23:7

Sen. Ted Cruz said Wednesday night he has "deep concerns" about the Federal Reserve and it should be audited.

"I think the Fed should get out of the business of trying to juice our economy, and simply be focused on sound money and monetary stability, ideally tied to gold," he said during the Republican presidential debate.   http://www.cnbc.com/2015/10/28/ted-cruz-calls-for-the-gold-standard.html

On Capitol Hill, the new chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, is a longtime advocate of returning to the gold standard and has sponsored the Sound Dollar Act, which would limit the ability of the Fed to exercise discretion in monetary policy and would remove the central bank’s mandate to pursue policies that lead to full employment.  http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2015/11/11/Here-s-Why-GOP-Can-t-Stop-Talking-About-Gold-Standard

The beginning of striving to be Buddha

The beginning of striving to be Buddha
Is self-mastery formulated from the fiery core--
The light that lighteth every man and woman
Born of the essence of God-good.

Those who apply themselves diligently
To the Law of the Christed ones
Are not afraid to make a strenuous effort
As Christ did in Gethsemane....

Thus the desiring to be the Buddha/ Must contain within itself
That humility which does provide/ Totality of being
That all mankind might walk/ Over the body of the Buddha,
Might pass through his mind,/ Might be nourished by his energy,/ His self-mastery.
           -Gautama Buddha:  Quietly Comes the Buddha, chapter 3, 1975, 1977

 

In the olden days the few held within the folds of their consciousness the focus of man’s infinite identity and purpose, while the masses played at competitive games involving an almost animalistic struggle for social and economic survival.  The vultures of struggle amplified struggle, and peace seemed far away.  Yet peace, O hearts of light, is a many splendored thing.  It is a gesture of infinity loving the finite into the greatness of itself.          -Gautama Buddha:  Pearls of Wisdom 14:1
.....................................................................................................................................
  Those dimensions of heart of which I speak are available to all who will inwardly pursue the radiance of the way of peace.   But the peace is to be found in the divine nature.... 

  Beloved hearts of light, the kingdom of God is within you.  When you really understand that, the way of peace is known to you and the adventure of living becomes more palatable, more acceptable to your outer consciousness and I am quite sure more acceptable to the Law of Love that is a part of your inward nature, even as it is the part of all mankind.

  But what a pity it is that men are allowing themselves today to be captivated by those who seek to divide men into little camps of opposition.  They cannot understand the way of peace, the way of nirvana.  They do not understand the Be-ness of God, that God is everywhere and that He dispenses those drops of life which are His reality as the golden oil of the anointing of the One Spirit Most Holy which all can receive because to all it is given--a treasure of sweetness, a treasure of compassion that reaches up magically enough, miraculously enough--to participate in the grand adventure of becoming one with God....
  The balance of the genuine heart should remain undisturbed by the rumblings in the world order while possessing the flexibility of being moved by the gentle winds of the Spirit that bear fresh ideas from God’s own hand, from the realm of cosmic purpose.                   -Gautama Buddha:  7-1-1971 via Messenger Mark Prophet

Whether in plants or in planets, whether in animals or in men, in granite or in a grain of sand one can see that the stamp of divine will predetermines the function, the pattern and the existence of all creation.     -Messengers M and E C Prophet:  Path of the Higher Self, 2003, p. 195

Ours is no ordinary urge

  The arm of flesh, encouraging self-serving, derives its satisfactions from the stooped gait that turtlelike totters to oblivion while saying "In God we trust."...
  Ours is no ordinary urge, but it follows the inherent meaning that is found in the interpretation of the word “ur” which is light, “g” which is God, and “e” which is energy.  Our urge to illumine the souls of men then is valiantly expressed as an urgent sending forth of the needed energy of God--the  Light of God That Never Fails--into the world of form.           -Morya El:  Pearls of Wisdom 13:5

Let the souls who would be free Who would search and find the way

Let the souls who would be free
Who would search and find the way
Follow me in this hour of the glorious day;
And so as the Mother descends into the earth/ To claim Her Own
I come also to claim the light of God-Identity....

And from the ashes of the former self/ The threefold flame ignites
Nobility, honor and love./  These three reveal the way of wisdom
And of wisdom's throne./  So let those who would attain the path
For every error now atone.

Let all proclaim the victory of the light
And in His Law delight..../I shall not take the leap,
The giant leap into the arms of God,
Until I have cleared the way/ And beckoned to humanity
And set forth the Law/ By example without flaw.    -Gautama Buddha:  Quietly Comes the Buddha, chapter 2, via Messenger E C Prophet, 1975, 1977

Wells Gallup is going to help us, boys and girls.

In Elizabeth Wells Gallup's The Bi-Literal Cypher of Sir Francis Bacon, 1900, pp. 66 and 75 one sees the following (in part):

Wells Gallup is going to help us, boys and girls.  Kindly pay attention for three minutes of your time.

  Notice in the first frame we have the beginning of Novum Organum, 1620, published in Latin in Paris:  there are three times given the letter P.  DEEST PARS PRIMA....  The P of Pars and the P of Prima--according to Wells Gallup in the second frame--differ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  But then that is Wells Gallup for you.  No one else in this whole wide world in over 100 years can make any sense of a bi-literal cipher supposed by Wells Gallup to exist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    -R., Mt.

Do not be lulled to sleep by this détente in which the government of the United States is engaging!

 

 

I look for patriots of light who have not been caught in the whirlpool of hatred, stagnation, fright and compromise with the fallen ones.....

Do not be lulled to sleep by this détente in which the government of the United States is engaging!...For this is the annual period of the saber-rattling of the fallen ones, and they come to steal the light of winter solstice.  And they will store it in those forcefields and grids of darkness to use in that moment when they are plotting their coup to steal Taiwan by consent from this government and this people before your very eyes.  Unless you reverse the tide (of darkness) they will steal that island and 15 million souls will march to the massacre....

Do you dare trust that (nuclear) energy in the hands of the Luciferians, of the mad scientists who put down Atlantis and Mu?  Do you dare leave that energy uncontrolled?  Only the ascended masters have the right to contain that energy and that power, for human beings cannot be trusted given the hordes of darkness who will play upon them, who will give them that itchy feeling, that trigger-happy feeling that they will set of that holocaust even without the word of their overlords.  Beleoved ones, this Earth is a powder keg.                 -Saint Germain:  12-8-1975 at Colorado Springs via Messenger E C Prophet (at Summit University), see https://books.google.com/books?id=BF-VyyXgwxAC&pg=PA226&dq=clare+prophet+taiwan&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwicuqv2mv_JAhVK4mMKHT0nCIQQ6AEIMTAC#v=onepage&q=clare%20prophet%20taiwan&f=false

Life is not emptiness but fullness

Life is not emptiness but fullness, but if the fullness be misqualified it may be a fullness of emptiness.  And so I ask all to turn within to the radiant sun of divine reality....In flinging away from the heart the cares that so momentously deprive one of reality the sheltering arms of nature are perceived.  His beauty and compassion are an outshining.  Within the root is sap, in the green leaf is photosynthesis, there softly diffused light glows.  In your spirits that inhabit your bodies there is stamped the memory of Him.              -Surya:  Pearls of Wisdom 13:32

I come forth from nirvana the Enlightened One
Carrying the torch of the ages....
For in the balance of the graces three
There is the consuming/ Of all hatred, lust, infatuation.
There is the extinguishing of the law of self-perpetuation.     -Gautama Buddha:  Quietly Comes the Buddha, chapter 2, via Messenger E C Prophet, 1975, 1977

The key to mastery, lo, I have found:
To view every mode and modification
Of this mortal round/ As a prisonhouse of the soul,
To understand the soul/ Confined to Mater, time and space
As the prisoner of the rock--/ In misery and in suffering, Confined and confining....
By surrendering the all/ He (the soul of Sumedha) attained the All....

He that is great among you/ Is the servant neither of self
Nor of passion's pall/ Nor of desire save the desire to be/ The Buddha for humanity
Nor of attachment/ Save the attachment to the law of individuality
Nor of self-centeredness/ Save the centering of the self in God--
This the way of renunciation           -Gautama Buddha:  ibid., chapter 5

there does descend a net of light, and it is the original Christic pattern

...it is also recorded, "Try the spirits whether they are of God.  Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God" (John 4:1).  This statement denotes that it is necessary for the consciousness of the Christ--the immaculate consciousness of the Christos--to enter into the heart of every spirit that it might be crowned with the love of the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth....What man requires then is...the knowledge of that power which will transmute the frozen energies of his world, whether dense or ethereal, into light and love and truth; when this is accomplished then freedom is born and radiates from within both matter and spirit.     -Saint Germain:  Pearls of Wisdom 13:27
.................................................................................................................

Don't you trust the lovingkindness of God to exonerate not only yourself but also all humanity from the weight of their iniquities?  To this end the light of the Christ, the light of the eternal Sun first blazed into manifestation to annihilate the darkness and to flood the mind and being of the creation with hope.             -Helios:  Pearl 13:29
........................................................................................................
Therefore out of the divine conception of the Goddess of Liberty there does descend a net of light, and it is the original Christic pattern, the divine blueprint of the calling together again of the tribes of the Holy One of God, the twelve who are called and the thirteenth who are the invisible and visible priesthood of Melchizedek, even the Christed ones....
And therefore as you summon this immaculate concept of America that belongs to all of the I AM Race, all children of the light of the entire world are included in the canopy of this dispensation--for the tribes come from all of the earth unto the feet of their Mighty I AM Presence.            -Archangel Uriel and Aurora:  7-4-1990 at RTR, Montana
