Deadly Intentions


http://fav.me/d47bb5r
A common theme runs through the entire thread of documented descriptions of strange lights in the night. The facts behind these encounters are:

 1. Similar to vehicle lights but move with intelligence
2. They source from above
3. Blue/green in color
4. Spotlighting the ground
5. Observed before the discovery of dead or missing life

“…as bright as they (lights) were she said she had no problem looking at them and they did not affect her sight. As they scoured the area the objects bathed the orchard in blue light and in the woman's words ‘seemed to be looking for something’. The craft then began to slowly move from the back of the orchard and headed in the direction of the house. They now stopped directly next to the house over a garage addition and shone down white beams of light. Even stranger, the witness described the lights as broken up, 'like a white line down the highway'. It is here where high strangeness enters the picture. The woman said that in retrospect a thought that passed through her mind during the sightings was her concern for the cats. Neighbourhood cats would often congregate in the garage and this was now where the lights were "searching". The objects then ‘turned off’ and left. The next day over a dozen cats in this area of Kelowna were missing and were never seen again.”
“Kate placed the truck in drive and just kept her foot on the gas speeding down the road and back to town. Kate only looked back once and could still see the green ray circling the spot where her truck had been parked. Kate could not believe she got away and was able to stop the encounter. Donna sat silently next to her as Kate sped directly home to Donna's house.”
“I was on horseback and was able to see a bright light wandering the fields while I conducted my survey activities. When I reached one of the corner points of the perimeter, I found an animal spread out on the ground. It was a cow. I approached the animal and when I did so, a source from above bathed me completely in its light. I had money in my pocket, so my first thought was that someone wanted to rob me. So I took off running, not knowing how – to this day – I crossed the wilderness and the cattle gates all the way to my home. The light was somewhat blue. It was lovely. When I got off the horse, I realized that my horse had seen the approaching light. It pulled the reins away from me, and that’s when I slapped it. It was then that the light covered me completely. When it did, I jumped back on the horse. I took off and don’t know how I made it through all the gates.”
“I was driving home about 6.30pm and thought a car had run off the road ahead because I could see the lights positioned where I knew the road wasn’t. As I got closer the light seemed to move alongside of me and keep pace. I was feeling a bit anxious and kept my eye on it, the light seemed to know when it was near a house and avoided contact with it, by keeping just above the trees. It disappeared when I drove into the Creek near home. It was an unsettling experience.”

So if you see lights that look suspicious it is advised that you do not focus on them as this will draw attention to yourself, this is easier said than done, but highly advisable for your own safety.

"There one minute gone the next"


A spike in pet disappearances has hit Pocatello Idaho with pet owners distraught about missing animals, mostly cats and small-to-medium-size dogs which starting strangely vanishing in June with no bodies turning up. 

Spring and Summer weather typically heraldeds the start of strange pet vanishings all over the world. This phenomena is being increasingly noticed by people as beloved pets seem to disappear without trace. Facebook sites devoted to localized missing pets are growing in number as people need an outlet for their confusion and grief. This has the effect of numbering the missing pets although the true number is unlikely to ever be known as many cats tend to lead secret lives and live in the background of communities.

The Bannock Humane Society keeps no records of the number of calls for missing pets, although the number of calls have increased steadily, peaking in October.
“I can’t give you any figures, it’s just that it’s an odd thing for me. It was in June when I started to notice more phone calls from owners of missing pets and there was an increase in October, and I started to pay more attention to it at that point.
There was one call in which two pugs disappeared simultaneously from their owner’s fenced-in yard.
“This was an actual case where the dogs were in her yard one minute and gone the next. There are no answers as to why we are getting more reports of missing pets.”

What is happening in Africa?

Psychic Focus received a request from a resident in South Africa who wanted insight into what was happening in her country. I knew that South Africa was a place of civil unrest and brutality but I had no idea that the population were living with such appalling Government conditions. 

Read the original request and then the answer given by Lynn. 

"Request - I live in South Africa. Very worried about the current administration. White farmers are being murdered everyday for no reason. We have no food security and poverty is at a new high. Could you please give me a reading on what is going to happen to my country. I have this overwhelming feeling of sadness and death.

Answer - I first get the overwhelming sense that aside from the area in Africa enduring this, people really don't know the extent of what is happening. The stories of what is going on aren't being shared much. There is a huge disconnect from what is happening there versus what is being shared in the news. People only know what they seek out, and the news isn't just 'given' to them.

When I ask why they aren't being helped by other countries I get that the geographic location of South Africa isn't part of anyone's master plan. There isn't a wealth of resources or oil. It looks like other countries tend to give huge amounts of protection and aid to the countries that can benefit them later.

When I think about the food and the farmers I get that the poverty is bringing out the worst in people and starving people will do desperate things. I get that the government has a huge control over the food and getting it distributed, and the starving people feel that it isn't being handled correctly. I get some phrase that "if they are going to let us starve, then we will kill the food source and the elite can starve too."

It does feel very dark and sad.. It see this getting worse before it gets better. Eventually people are going to rise up and stop waiting on help, I get some sense that people are waiting to be rescued. It looks like a group forms against the current government and will try to overrule the current system, which feels very unbalanced or corrupt. I see the strong people looking for other options and other food sources. I see trade and barter picking up. Some people will leave and go elsewhere looking for a better chance and opportunity.These bad times will make people realize the strength and resourcefulness they have within themselves."

Has anyone noticed that since Gordon Duff of Veterans Today indicated the possibility of Africa being terra-formed as a potential abode for an incoming Alien race. Africa has not been out of the news, all manner of thinks have arisen, and now we have the Ebola outbreak. I might add in his profession Mr Duff is no light weight.

Doomsday Prophecies



http://fav.me/d1lvljq
When I look at the doom and gloom sites spouting Armageddon prophecies week after week, financial meltdown is imminent , something big is round the corner, the population of earth will be culled by millions, planet X is coming, world war 3 is about to happen! You've heard it all. 

But the thing is it’s been going on that long you just know deep down that the individuals whom supposedly produce this doomsday stuff, can never be right in their predictions. No matter what they say the days just keep rolling on by. The assumption that some unknown little person on the internet is going to be right about the demise of the human race is too ridiculous for words. That privilege belongs to a higher force and when or whatever happens it will take us totally by surprise, it will be unpredictable whether good or bad. For the humble human to piece every bit of game changing information together from around the world and come up with a prediction is impossible to say the least, because that information is changing second by second. You would have to have the brain of a super computer, where you could devour information from around the world at a fantastic rate process it and make a prediction before more information comes in, and that`s basically impossible unless you can freeze time even then that prediction would come to nothing as more information comes in could result in the super computer having to change its prediction or shelve it, so it seems that Predictions of the future are impossible even for a super computer let alone some obscure entity slobbering over his key board with delight because he thinks the information he has researched allows him to make a dooms day prediction of the future of humanity.. Remember, nanosecond by nanosecond we move from the Past through the Present and into the Future. It becomes a continuous flow into what we call the "Now". 

So next time you come across the Doomsday predictors do yourself a favour and turn the page. What the human race gets up to will without doubt keep changing the "Now" but to predict the future is not for the human. The reason I say turn the page on Doomsday sites, is that one in particular that I look at, is that 99% of what it puts out is Doom and Gloom, it’s as though someone or something is trying to keep the human race in a perpetual state of depression. Is there a hidden agenda behind it? I have no idea, but the best way to fight it if there is, is to ignore it, turn the page and get on with your life and do good things, because as I have said, any event that changes the direction of the human race, will come as a total surprise, and not through prediction.

Where did we really come from?

fav.me/drktry
We are told that 65 million years ago something happened to kill off the dinosaurs. How about saying it was the demise of our advanced forefathers and mothers? The dinosaur saga is a cover story, something to distract us from the real story just another link in a long line of stories to keep our thoughts anchored to this world as being our start of existence. 

I ask you just to step back a little and take a good hard look at our history, and what we have been taught or told by our peers. We are told that it took millions of years for human kind to get where we are today, firstly we had to endure the rise and fall of various prehistoric periods in Earth`s historical life culminating in the evolving of the human from the ape. 

Fossil evidence suggests modern humans evolved in East Africa 2000,000 years ago, the Sahelanthropus Tchadnsis skull shows both ape like and human features and is between 6-7 million years old. Now think! why from the ape? most will say because it resembles the human. But suppose this is not true, suppose we are how we have always been. What if 65 million years ago something happened that destroyed or drove away an extraordinarily advanced race of people from the planet Mars. Could we not be the remnants left over from an advanced race of humanoids after some devastating event, and we came to this planet Earth to survive such an event. Eventually the rag-tag colony of mixed race survivors lost their technology and everything else to do with their advanced ways to the point they were driven back to hunting and farming with only vague memories of a society that stretched across the solar system. As the years progressed those memories became more and more diluted, our past would have occasionally appeared in the form of geniuses or people with cleaver ideas. When a problem occurred, suddenly a solution or idea would pop into someone`s head. Ideas would be worked on and improved; this type of thing would happen all the time whether agricultural or building and engineering using whatever was at hand. Our genius was hidden in our DNA a genius linked to a futuristic bygone age, an age we are struggling back to. 

In my advancing years I look back at history and know in my heart that 99% of it is theoretical, they know nothing for sure, and in another breath I admit to know nothing, only the lies and good stories I have been told. The human race is like a small child whom asks her mother "Where do babies come from?" In order to calm the child`s curiosity the mother tells her a simple story explaining in simple terms the creation of babies until she is older and can handle the truth better. 

This is how I see our existence. Everything we have ever been taught has been to keep us occupied and oblivious to the truth, some force knows where we came from, knows our true history. They have either good intention, or they are using the human race to climb back up the technological scale to where we were perhaps 200,000 years ago or even longer, and when we get there, they with their knowledge of futuristic pre-existence want to be top dog. 

I have no proof of what I say, just a deep gut feeling (at least I`m truthful) and my gut feeling has more solidity than the lies we have been told, we do not know where we came from, we do not know our beginnings. 

Forget the Apes, they are a species of their own, our history is dark, that alone tells me there is more, much more, to our existence.

Fear of Living

There is a full page in the newspaper telling us of the toxins we live with. It says from the food we eat to the furniture we sit on, the average person comes into contact with 80,000 untested chemicals a year. 

They list 4-chemicals as example, Aluminium, Mercury, Cadmium and Lead, these chemicals are in our food and household items. 
Aluminium is found in: Make-up foundation & eye shadow, Aspirin, antidepressants & antacids, Black tea, Processed cheese, Baking powder, Cake mix, bread, Tin cans containing acidic food such as tomatoes, infant formula and even air particles.
They then tell you about the health risks and how to cut your exposure. What amazes me is we are forced to consume most of the items of food listed due to our need to eat to survive. Cadmium is found in drinking water, how on earth can you avoid Cadmium if it comes through your tap! In a dry continent like Australia the householder is encouraged to connect a tank and collect rainwater for personal use. However, that water must only be used to flush down the drain because it is classed as unhealthy to consume. So how can a sewage treatment plant produce consumable water? Would you believe what you are told?

To me this is another page of fear; there is not a lot we can do about the food we eat or the cleaning items we use, most of us are forced by income to take the cheaper and probably unhealthy brands. We are told to eat more seafood`s then we are informed this is also a source of Cadmium and Mercury. So now we told to eliminate fish from our diet! 

You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. 

They want us to use energy saving light bulbs but because of the Mercury content this article say`s to shun them. We are being pushed and pulled in every direction and all that is generated is Fear and worry. The page I talk of has the title "What's your Poison" and underneath is a nicely placed black skull and cross bones, they even tell us because of a build-up of these chemicals in our bodies more people in their fifties are coming down with cancer. What a wonderful article to start you day with. 

Why is this article aimed at the general public, should it not be more directed towards the manufactures to get them to eliminate these chemicals from our food`s . Do not try to tell the single mother at the end of the street with 3-children and low income to eat healthier. Our arms are up our backs and they know it. 

This article will disappear and another will replace it, all to generate Fear, and in about 2 to 3 years it will reappear just like its predecessors of Fear have done before it. We have over many years repeatedly been told at some time or other that "Everything is bad for us, but at the same time everything is good for us". I noticed the article did not mention Red Meat. Do you remember how we were told they are inoculated with various serums to guard against diseases and this medicine "COULD" get into our bodies through consumption of the meat, and have a detrimental effect on our health? 

Why does it matter what we eat or use because if, as the evidence suggests, they are raining Chem Trails down on us on a daily basis, and not for our benefit might I add, then we have no chance. Everything is just utter confusion and fear, a situation like that does not serve the human race, but it serves someone the question is who. 

Good philosophy comes out on top - "Eat and drink in moderation, and get on with your life".

Fallen Face First into a Puddle of Dark Liquid


Recently I have expressed concern that there is more to the outbreak of the Ebola virus in Africa than we are lead to believe, after some deep thought and a little research I think I may have stumbled on a prominent link.

Firstly I worked from the point of view as indicated by a well know writer, that we should not believe that all films made are for entertainment purposes only, this to me said that hidden messages or warnings were incorporated purposely into our innocent pastime of watching TV, FILMS, or playing console games. These messages or warnings are either to waken us up to an evil agenda by the Elite few or tell us of things to come, dreadful things, things most humans could not accept.

In this article I'm going to try to link together a few events in the past and modern film industry, why story lines from yesteryears films have survived to become todays feared serious conspiracy topics, and in the process encourage people to step back and try to see the bigger picture.

The Quatermass Experiment
Starting in 1955 a SI/FI film was produced based on a TV series titled "The Quatermass Experiment. The story tells of 3-astronauts launched into space in a rocket, when the rocket returns there is only 1-astronaut inside. The surviving astronaut has been infected by an Alien organism which, if it releases spores, will engulf and destroy humanity, it soon became evident that the astronaut has been changed by something he encountered in outerspace; he can absorb any living thing he comes into contact with. The astronaut, in his panic, escapes and hides in the London docks, eventually he makes his way to a zoo where he absorbs most of the animals. Soon Quatermass tracks the stricken astronaut to Westminster Abbey where the creature/astronaut is killed by electrocution.

If we now go forward in time to 1957, another SI/FI film was produced called Quatermass 2, cutting a long story short our hero in the film Professor Quatermass, becomes interested in reports of meteorites landing in an area known as Winnerden Flats, his friend, Marsh, finds one of the meteorites which cracks open and leaves him injured with a V- shaped mark on his face. Armed guards from what turns out to be a mysterious food processing plant turns up and takes them away, these guards are afflicted with the same V-shaped injury.

As the story progresses one of Quatermass team named Broadhead slips away while on a organised tour of the food plant in an attempt to discover what's going on, Quatermass later finds him dying; covered in poisonous "BLACK SLIME" . It is later discovered that the industrial plant is indeed making food, but not for human consumption, instead, its purpose is to provide a suitable environment for Alien creatures inside the plant domes. It is later revealed that the government has also succumbed to this Alien invasion characterised by the "V" shaped injury appearing on government representatives. The ending of the film culminates in our hero firing a rocket at the Asteroid they believe the Aliens are using as a base to stage their invasion, the base is destroyed by a nuclear explosion, as a result the "V" mark disappears from all effected leaving them with no memory of being controlled by Aliens.

The Blob
In 1958, another SI/FI film production called THE BLOB, again we have a meteorite crashing to Earth, and again our hero goes to investigate but an old man gets there first, he proceeds to poke the meteorite with a stick, it breaks open and a small jelly like blob attaches itself to his hand. Anyhow, the Blob spends its time consuming people and getting bigger, eventually it is discovered that the Blob can be subdued by freezing cold, not destroyed, just subdued. The ending of the film has the Blob being airlifted to the Arctic region and parachuted into the frozen waste land. The film ends with a question mark. In 1988 a remake of The Blob was produced, the story was pretty well much the same as the 1956 version, the only difference being that the Blob could reach out with tentacles and could split up and attack multiple times.

Sixty Years Later
Certain characteristics featured in the above SI/FI production have today emerged in this modern era as theoretical and serious threats. Firstly let's take a look at Exopolotics UK and David Griffin's marvellous talk concerning the brief Falklands war between Britain and Argentina, he outlined the fact that the Falklands war was also a cover for the British to investigate the Argentine government having a Blue ET base on Thule Island. This base was said to have been destroyed by SBS and SAS commando's, there was though an apparent problem, it is said before the base was destroyed a Black Intelligent Liquid was removed. This liquid was said to have been taken to Marconi communications in the UK, eventually it was believed this Black Intelligent Liquid or Oil was responsible for the deaths of many scientific personnel at Marconi. I believe most, if not all, were listed as suicides, whatever the case it was all surrounded in mystery. It only takes a short leap of imagination to connect David Griffin`s Thule Island`s Black fluid to the Black Slime indicated in the film Quatermass 2. The Quatermass Experiment did not indicate any Black liquid as such, but portrayed one of the astronauts bringing back an Alien virus that absorbed anything it came into contact with. It's important to note in those 2-Quatermass films 2- British establishments are shown to be featured in the story line, they were Westminster Abbey and the British Government, this rang a bell with me as I remember reading about a comment by the late Tony Dodd who said in so many words "They most fear the Aliens that look like us, because they could easily get into positions of power."

Another point I would like to make is the strange "V" mark injury sustained by the victims in Quatermass 2, where have you heard that before? How about an 80`s TV series called "V" then a more modern film version in later years, this involved an Alien Reptilian Race that used us as food. This can be linked to the astronaut in the Quatermass Experiment who contracted an Alien virus and whatever living organism he touch he absorbed. Same outcome, different stories.

Cold Safety
Talking of same outcome different stories here is one interesting fact, if we look at the 1955 film The Blob, it is an Intelligent Liquid or Goo story line, but one intriguing point in the conclusion of this and the later 1988 version, was that the Blob was controlled by freezing cold, not killed just subdued. So what? you might say, it's just a story, in most cases you would be right, but if you take the time to listen to David Griffin you will see that the only way they could control the Intelligent Black Substance from Thule Island was with cold conditions. Likewise the Blob in the early film editions was dropped into the Arctic.

How strange we have all manner of Alien/ UFO stories from the bottom of the world on Antarctica, from there we have stories of secret diggings restricted areas and Nazi bases. So we have Arctic and Antarctic, are they joined through the Earth as suggested?

Zombies & Viruses
When I think of secret diggings I think of the famous X-File clip where Mulder is informed of an Alien pathogen left inside the Earth aeons ago, waiting for the return of the Alien race that left it there, then the pathogen will resurface and infect and take control of the human race, we would become "Hosts" or Zombies, strange how Zombie productions are all the go at the moment. I would like to point out that Quatermass 2 that once the Alien base had been destroyed the "V" type injury disappeared from those effected leaving them with no memory of being controlled by Alien`s, again a sort of Zombiefication, and talking of Zombies, in the most recent film World War "Z", the "Virus" word is used yet again.

Now either Hollywood and the like are running out of ideas, or someone is determined to keep the word "Virus" alive and in our heads from long ago. World War Z had the Zombie virus breaking out at several locations around the world. When I read that I immediately thought of how Ebola is being encouraged to spread by the incompetence of those in power.

Meteorites & Asteroids
Another point of interest in the Quatermass and Blob story line was the involvement of meteorites bringing a virus (Alien entity) to Earth. If you think, over the past few years we have had quite a bit of Comet and Asteroid activity some if not most shrouded in mystery, five that come to mind are Hartley 2, Vesta, Elenin and Ison, with the most recent being 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko. I do not want to get in a long discussion over comets or asteroids, I just want to point out that comets throughout history have been the portent of disaster or prophecy, as in the films Quatermass and the Blob, even though they were not comets, 2-meteorites bought death and fear to Earth , an example came in 2013 on the 15th Feb, when a meteorite exploded over Chelyabinsk causing millions of dollars damage and injuring 1500-people. Some scientists believe that asteroid and meteors could be responsible in spreading life throughout the universe in a process called Panspermia as shown in our 2- SI/FI films. A more astounding but believable theory, if you look at the evidence with an open mind, is that asteroids are not lumps of rock or ice but spacecraft left over from aeons ago, which if so would answer why NASA according to internet sites has paid secret visits to certain asteroids, again wandering spacecraft from a bygone age is not impossible when you look at artefacts being discovered on Mars throughout the solar system. If it's true about the visits then what are they looking for? I personally do not believe all space projects costing millions are purely to study the Cosmos.

Terra-forming Africa
If indeed, as Gordon Duff suggests, Africa is being looked at to be terraformed to accommodate an incoming Alien race:

  • is what we are seeing now taking place in Africa the beginning of the terraforming process? 
  • is the Ebola outbreak an environmental experiment to help the Aliens to adjust to our atmosphere like in Quatermass? 
  • is Ebola the Alien? 
  • are the African people being experimented on? 
  • do they intend to wipe most of them out but they have to make it seem like a world wide threat where the place of origin suffers most with millions dying. 

When we watch the news on TV we only see what they want you to see, they repeat the news clips. How can we trust them? What is really going on in Africa? In education we use repetition to educate, to get things in our heads, just like the word "Virus" is repeated in films and media. Come to think of it, there is a large quantity of SI/FI films that want us to fear something coming from outer space, is it soon to arrive in Africa? But why tell us? Why spend years pushing a probable situation in films and other media?

Intelligent Black Nano Oil
Every time I think of the Blob being subdued by the cold my mind jumps to years later when David Griffin talks of an Intelligent Black Nano Oil or Black Goo substance which was also controlled by the cold. This Goo was alleged to have been removed from Thule Island during the Falklands war.

Further to the mystery of the Black Goo or Oil is the 2012 film Prometheus, I will not go deeply into the plot, but just read these extracts:-

"The crew are forced to return to their ship, but David secretly take a cylinder from the discovered structure while the remaining cylinders begin leaking a "DARK LIQUID".
Another line reads:- "He intentionally taints a drink with the "DARK LIQUID"
And then:- "Fifield falls face first into a puddle of "DARK LIQUID"
And lastly:- "Fifield becomes monsterously mutated. (I presume from falling into the "DARK LIQUID")

Behind the Black
What is it with this "DARK LIQUID" "GOO" or "OIL" story line? Out of curiosity I asked my wife that if she was to label Ebola with a colour, what colour would she choose?, without pausing she said "BLACK". I asked why? She replied the first letters are EBO as in EBONY and in the dictionary EBONY is hard "BLACK WOOD", and the adj is "DEEP BLACK". One last point, as most may know, the Ebola virus was named after the Ebola river meaning Black River in the local language, it's also interesting to note that in Prometheus when the Alien disintegrated his remains cascaded into a waterfall and caused a Bio-genetic reaction ???

A Plan in Progress
One thing for certain is that whether a Jelly like substance as in the Blob or a Black Liquid as in Quatermass or Dark Liquid in Prometheus and finally David Griffin`s Intelligent Nano-Oil or Black Goo, to me there is a link and a plan and it's been in progress for years. Whoever is in control, could they with events in Africa be bringing their plans to fruition, have the people of Africa in effect "Fallen Face First into a Puddle of Dark Liquid".

Just remember this, the Alien in Prometheus had plans to destroy the human race. Did they try once before in history with the "BLACK DEATH" is Ebola and the Black Death just two events in a long line of attempts to wipe out the human race?

Also and interesting article in today`s new is that
22,000 patients of a dentist have been recalled for a blood test. The health secretary was briefed on the blood borne virus which the dentist carried. They urged people not to panic ???? But they refuse to give any details of the virus other than its not HIV, I smell a rat, if its nothing to panic over why not give us the details, and why the need to brief the health secretary unless there is potential danger. They are using the fact that in 2012 49,000-people were recalled over hip replacement problem to say there is nothing to worry about, but in today`s Ebola environment one has to wonder.

"AT THE TIME OF WRITING, 5000 PEOPLE ARE ESTIMATED AS DYING FROM EBOLA"

                 *************************

Follow-Up
If there is such a threat just how much longer can it be kept from the masses? the words of Carol Rosin keep ringing in my head where she quotes Werner Von Braun saying, "The last card will be the Alien card". Amazingly the Alien situation will not go away and appears to be gaining momentum at an alarming rate. What is the truth ? as Von Braun also stated that the hostile Alien scenario was a lie, a false flag, the description of Black Intelligent Goo though does give a picture of utter terror, the thoughts of such an entity creeping upon you while you sleep does not make for a good nights rest. If such a Black Goo exists beneath our feet, then it makes me wonder about some of the noises we here coming from underground, is the invasion under preparation. As stated by an interviewer this Black Goo was seen to come from the ground then re-enter.
