Steve Lendman – US-Stoked Violence Rocks Ukraine – 19 February 2014

Washington bears full responsibility for three months of street protest violence. At issue is toppling Ukraine’s democratically elected government. More on this below.

On Sunday, Ukraine offered amnesty to anti-government protesters. It did so provided they vacated occupied public buildings. An official statement said:

Amnesty “comes into force from February 17, 2014 and stipulates that charges against the people having committed offenses…will be dropped.”

Sandra Walter – Transcendence: Permanent Shift In Vibration – 19 February 2014

As a prerequisite to this article, please review my definition of Ascension. You cannot be pressured into Ascension, because it must be a personal choice to raise one’s consciousness. Wayshowers set an example, provide intel, teach, and walk hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart with those dedicated to the Shift in Consciousness. Sometimes we run ahead so we can tell people what is down the road, or what is on the other side of an unopened door.

ZeroHedge – It Begins: Ukraine Army Given Power To Use Weapons On Civilians – Live Feed – 19 February 2014

Just as we warned earlier, the stealing of the weapons cache and labeling of the break-away region as having undertaken “terrorist acts” has led to the military getting involved:

• *UKRAINE ARMY GIVEN POWER TO CHECK CIVILIAN VEHICLES
• *UKRAINE ARMY GIVEN POWER TO USE WEAPONS ON UKRAINIANS: MINISTRY

Under the “anti-terrorist” operation, Ukraine is a close to civil war as it has been so far. As Martin Armstrong concludes: “there is no peaceful resolution” no matter how many sanctions and condemnations the West makes.

Laura Bruno – ANH – Monsanto “Goes Organic” And Wins “Sustainability Award” – Right! – 19 February 2014

Thanks for taking that 1984 Doublespeak just a bit too far! The following article has accomplished what months of my own warnings and alarm soundings have failed to do: convinced some locals that “sustainability” does not always mean what they assume it means. We need to peek “Behind the Green Mask,” and write our own definitions and protections, lest our “Sustainable City” and “Responsible Regionalism” usher in an entire fleet of Trojan Horses.

Lisa Gawlas – We – The Beacons of Light Sending Out Our Signal – Calling Others…- 19 February 2014

I have decided that Hampton Roads, Virginia got hit with a massive Light bomb!!  Maybe other places too, but there for sure.  Not just because it is where my son lives, but also, where one of my guys on my calendar yesterday lives and the conversation and the flickering ability to see with the conversation that makes me say this.  But again, going in that divine alignment, my first clients name yesterday was/is Chrysaliss and in our conversation and my telling her that her name, her vibration now in my world is so very fitting as we move thru the unwrapping of ourSelfs in this new world.  Well she went on to say that her last name really means ocean.  Well, between yesterdays sharing talking about the fishies, I mean Pisces, as well as the song follow me, “swimming thru your veins like a fish in the sea” (lyric from that song) and Hamptons Roads is surrounded by ocean inlets.  The bigger picture really is showing itself.
