Apache Chief punishes his Wife - A Tewa Legend

The Yellow House People were traveling. They stopped by a lake, and to reach the deep water they put down a buffalo head to step on. The chief's wife, who was a good-looking woman, picked up her basket and went to fetch some water. When she came to the lake she looked at the head and said, "My father, what a handsome man you were! I would like to have seen you alive. What a pity you're being trampled in this mud!"

As she finished speaking, up sprang a big white buffalo. He said, "I'm the man you speak of. I am White Buffalo Chief. I want to take you with me. Sit on my head between my horns!" She left her water basket right there, and climbed up. The sun was going down, and the chief's wife did not come home. "Something has happened," he said. "I should go and see." When he got to the lake, he found the basket, and looking around, saw his wife's track and the track of a big buffalo leading to the east. He said, "The buffalo head has taken my wife!" He went back to his camp and for many days made arrows. When he had enough, he set out to find his wife.

As he walked, he nearly stepped on the house of Spider Old Woman. She said, "Sho! sho! sho! My grandchild, don't step on me! Grandchild, you are Apache-Chief-Living-Happily; what are you doing around here?"

"Grandmother, I am looking for my wife. Buffalo Chief took her away. Can you help me?" "He is a powerful person, but I will give you medicine. Go now to Gopher Old Woman."

He went along, and on the plain he came to Gopher's house. Said Gopher Old Woman, "What are you doing around here? You are Apache-Chief-Living-Happily. Why are you here?" "Yes, grandmother, I was living happily when my wife went to get water. Buffalo stole her. I am going after her, and I would like to ask you for help."

Gopher Old Woman said, "My grandson, your wife now has as husband a powerful man. He is White Buffalo Chief. She is the tribe's female in-law, and when they go to sleep, she is in the middle and they lie close around her. Her dress is trimmed with elk teeth, and it makes such a noise that it will be difficult to get her out. You go to the edge of where they lie, and I will do the rest. "Apache Chief came to the buffalo territory and hid to watch them. White Buffalo Chief had the stolen wife dancing, and the buffalo sang:

Ya he a he
Ya he iya he
Ya he e ya
He ya hina he
Hina ye ne
He mah ne!

The Apache crept near the dance and spat out the medicine Spider Old Woman had given, and all the buffalo went sleep. Gopher Old Woman burrowed underground to the girl's ear and said, "I have come for you.

Apache-Chief-Living-Happily is waiting outside the herd. "The girl said, "My present husband is a powerful man. My dress is made of elk teeth, and it makes such a noise that it will wake my husband." Gopher told her to gather the dress up under her arms. Then Gopher led the way, and they slipped through the group of sleeping buffalo.

Her husband was waiting. "I have come for you," he said, "You are my wife and I want to take you back." And she told him they must hurry to a safe place.

The plain was large. As they came to three cottonwood trees, they could feel the earth trembling. White Buffalo had waked up and was shouting to his clan, "Someone took my wife!" The herd followed the track toward the trees.

Apache Chief said to the first cottonwood, "Brother, the buffalo are coming. I want you to hide us." the tree said, "Go to your next brother! I am old and soft." He went to the next tree. "Brother, the buffalo are coming. I want you to hide us!" The tree said, "Go to your next brother." He went to the third tree, a young tree with one branch. "Apache Chief," it said, "come up into my branches and I will help you."

After they were safely up, the wife said she had to urinate. Apache Chief folded up his buffalo hide and told her to urinate on it, but her water leaked through. The buffalo were passing, the dust was rising, and the earth was trembling. In the rear of the pack were a shabby old buffalo and a small one. As they came under the tree, the little buffalo said, "Grandfather, I can smell the water of our daughter-in-law." They looked up and saw the man and woman in the tree.

The old buffalo said, "Grandchild, you are fast. Run on and tell the first one you reach, and each will tell the next one." Soon the whole herd had turned back. Each one in succession butted the tree, and Apache Chief tried to shoot them.

Then White Buffalo Chief took a running start and crashed against the tree. The young cottonwood was nearly down, and Apache Chief could not kill White Buffalo Chief.

Crow was calling above them, "Kaw, kaw, kaw!"

Apache Chief said angrily to Crow, "Why are you calling out when I am in such a bad way?" "I came to tell you to shoot him in the anus. That's where his life is. "So the Apache Chief shot White Buffalo Chief in the anus and killed him.

He and his wife came from the tree, and he started to butcher the buffalo beside a little fire. The tears ran down her cheek. "Are you crying because I'm butchering White Buffalo?" "No, I'm crying from the smoke."

Apache Chief kept on butchering. He looked at her again and said, "You are crying!" "No, it's just the smoke." He stared at her. "You are crying! After all our trouble, you still want this man! Now you die with him!" And he took his bow and arrow and shot her.

"I am Apache Chief, chief of a roaming tribe," he said. "I will wander over these plains watching the earth, and if any woman leaves her husband, what I have done to my wife may be done to her."

Based on a tale recorded by Elsie Clews Parsons in 1940.

Like other tales told in pueblos near Taos, New Mexico, this Tewa story features Apache characters. Taos, because of its proximity to the Plains area, had a close relation to the tribes of that region, and they have shared many elements in their culture, this story being one of them. The Yellow House people refer to people who settled toward the East, nearer the sun.

Homage to Guru Dharma!

Homage to Guru, and Maitri to all religions and communities!

For world peace and to benefit all sentient beings, I’m giving this message of peace to the world with new wisdom and a new method.

I , Dharma Sangha, will continue penance for nine months more. Afterwards, I will teach the wisdom and pure Dharma to those devotees who wander here in search of receiving that which is given to me by the Buddhas. Also I will continue to do meditation and penance.

The wisdom which is given to me by the Buddhas is Bodhi Shrawan Dharma, to which I have listened and understood from the Buddhas themselves, and also by following those paths of wisdom and I will be telling that wisdom according to devotees’ needs and capacity of understanding.

This Dharma is a path, full of the pure Wisdom of the Buddhas. Modern people believe that, Dharma is a principle and institution, and though they have reached the meaning of Dharma closely, they are in fact far from real Dharma.

I believe that those who practice the eight moralities, and understand the real Dharma will practice the pure Dharma.

Eight moralities or rules are:

1. Not to discriminate against human beings according to their cast, religion, gender or color etc.
2. Not to humiliate religions by comparing them as superior or inferior.
3. Not to accept discriminative doctrinal principles.
4. Not to think of nations as separate or treat countries as friends and enemies.
5. To avoid debates and arguments as to whether something is true or false as one view will likely be undervalued and another exaggerated.
6. Not to practice the 10 negative actions.
7. To practice three training moral discipline, concentration and wisdom and the dedication of your life to social and national services.
8. To attain perfect enlightenment or dedicate yourself to get liberation for oneself or others.

I would like to tell the world to practice the eight moralities or rules. Practice all the moralities and spread the pure Dharma and peace in the world.

Besides this, I focus on keeping the spiritual Gurus and lay persons away from greed, fame, ignorance and attachment and always focus on attaining perfect happiness and peace for as long as life exists.

Finally, let’s make this world a Dharma world which is very suitable to live in not only for human beings, animals, living creatures, and plants, but also for Buddhas.

May All Beings Be Happy.

Hi, to my Sweet soul friends, I wish you a beautiful weekend and week of love, laughter, peace, abundance and joy. Blessings full of positive Energy coming your way, Melodie

Sweet Friends 11-12-10, The Men of the Early Times - A Zuni Legend

Eight years was but four days and four nights when the world was new. It was while such days and nights continued that men were led out, in the night-shine of the World of Seeing.

For even when they saw the great star, they thought it the Sun-father himself, it so burned their eye-balls.

Men and creatures were more alike then than now. Our fathers were black, like the caves they came from; their skins were cold and scaly like those of mud creatures; their eyes were goggled like an owl's; their ears were like those of cave bats; their feet were webbed like those of walkers in wet and soft places; they had tails, long or short, as they were old or young.

Men crouched when they walked, or crawled along the ground like lizards. They feared to walk straight, but crouched as before time they had in their cave worlds, that they might not stumble or fall in the uncertain light.

When the morning star arose, they blinked excessively when they beheld its brightness and cried out that now surely the Father was coming. But it was only the elder of the Bright Ones, heralding with his shield of flame the approach of the Sun-father.

And when, low down in the east, the Sun-father himself appeared, though shrouded in the mist of the world-waters, they were blinded and heated by his light and glory. They fell down wallowing and covered their eyes with their hands and arms, yet ever as they looked toward the light, they struggled toward the Sun as moths and other night creatures seek the light of a camp fire. Thus they became used to the light.

But when they rose and walked straight, no longer bending, and looked upon each other, they sought to clothe themselves with girdles and garments of bark and rushes. And when by walking only upon their hinder feet they were bruised by stone and sand, they plaited sandals of yucca fiber.

The search for the Middle and the Hardening of the World – A Zuni Legend

As it was with the first men and creatures, so it was with the world. It was young and unripe. Earthquakes shook the world and rent it. Demons and monsters of the under-world fled forth.

Creatures became fierce, beasts of prey, and others turned timid, becoming their quarry. Wretchedness and hunger abounded and black magic. Fear was everywhere among them, so the people, in dread of their precious possessions, became wanderers, living on the seeds of grass, eaters of dead and slain things. Yet, guided by the Beloved Twain, they sought in the light and under the pathway of the Sun, the Middle of the world, over which alone they could find the Earth at rest.

When the tremblings grew still for a time, the people paused at the First of Sitting Places. Yet they were still poor and defenseless and unskilled, and the world still moist and unstable. Demons and monsters fled from the Earth in times of shaking, and threatened wanderers.

Then the Two took counsel of each other. The Elder said the Earth must be made more stable for men and the valleys where their children rested. If they sent down their fire bolts of thunder, aimed to all the four regions, the Earth would heave up and down, fire would, belch over the world and burn it, floods of hot water would sweep over it, smoke would blacken the daylight, but the Earth would at last be safer for men.

So the Beloved Twain let fly the thunderbolts.

The mountains shook and trembled, the plains cracked and crackled under the floods and fires, and the hollow places, the only refuge of men and creatures, grew black and awful. At last thick rain fell, putting out the fires.

Then water flooded the world, cutting deep trails through the mountains, and burying or uncovering the bodies of things and beings. Where they huddled together and were blasted thus, their blood gushed forth and flowed deeply, here in rivers, there in floods, for gigantic were they. But the blood was charred and blistered and blackened by the fires into the black rocks of the lower mesas. There were vast plains of dust, ashes, and cinders, reddened like the mud of the hearth place. Yet many places behind and between the mountain terraces were unharmed by the fires, and even then green grew the trees and grasses and even flowers bloomed. Then the Earth became more stable, and drier, and its lone places less fearsome since monsters of prey were changed to rock.

But ever and again the Earth trembled and the people were troubled.

"Let us again seek the Middle," they said. So they traveled far eastward to their second stopping place, the Place of Bare Mountains.

Again the world rumbled, and they traveled into a country to a place called Where-tree-boles-stand-in-the-midst-of-waters. There they remained long, saying, "This is the Middle." They built homes there. At times they met people who had gone before, and thus they learned war. And many strange things happened there, as told in speeches of the ancient talk.

Then when the Earth groaned again, the Twain bade them go forth, and they murmured. Many refused and perished miserably in their own homes, as do rats in falling trees, or flies in forbidden food.

But the greater number went forward until they came to Steam-mist-in-the- midst-of-waters. And they saw the smoke of men's hearth fires and many houses scattered over the hills before them. When they came nearer, they challenged the people rudely, demanding who they were and why there, for in their last standing-place they had had touch of war.

"We are the People of the Seed," said the men of the hearth-fires, "born elder brothers of ye, and led of the gods."

"No," said our fathers, "we are led of the gods and we are the Seed People."

Long lived the people in the town on the sunrise slope of the mountains of Kahluelawan, until the Earth began to groan warningly again. Loath were they to leave the place of the Kaka and the lake of their dead. But the rumbling grew louder and the Twain Beloved called, and all together they journeyed eastward, seeking once more the Place of the Middle. But they grumbled amongst themselves, so when they came to a place of great promise, they said, "Let us stay here. Perhaps it may be the Place of the Middle."

So they built houses there, larger and stronger than ever before, and more perfect, for they were strong in numbers and wiser, though yet unperfected as men. They called the place "The Place of Sacred Stealing."

Long they dwelt there, happily, but growing wiser and stronger, so that, with their tails and dressed in the skins of animals, they saw they were rude and ugly.

In chase or in war, they were at a disadvantage, for they met older nations of men with whom they fought. No longer they feared the gods and monsters, but only their own kind. So therefore the gods called a council.

Changed shall ye be, oh our children, "cried the Twain." Ye shall walk straight in the pathways, clothed in garments, and without tails, that ye may sit more straight in council, and without webs to your feet, or talons on your hands."

So the people were arranged in procession like dancers. And the Twain with their weapons and fires of lightning shored off the forelocks hanging down over their faces, severed the talons, and slitted the webbed fingers and toes. Sore was the wounding and loud cried the foolish, when lastly the people were arranged in procession for the razing of their tails.

But those who stood at the end of the line, shrinking farther and farther, fled in their terror, climbing trees and high places, with loud chatter. Wandering far, sleeping ever in tree tops, in the far-away Summerland, they are sometimes seen of far-walkers, long of tail and long handed, like wizened men-children.

But the people grew in strength, and became more perfect, and more than ever went to war. They grew vain.

They had reached the Place of the Middle. They said, "Let us not wearily wander forth again even though the Earth tremble and the Twain bid us forth."

And even as they spoke, the mountain trembled and shook, though far- sounding.

But as the people changed, changed also were the Twain, small and misshapen, hard-favored and unyielding of will, strong of spirit, evil and bad. They taught the people to war, and led them far to the eastward.

At last the people neared, in the midst of the plains to the eastward, great towns built in the heights. Great were the fields and possessions of this people, for they knew how to command and carry the waters, bringing new soil. And this, too, without hail or rain. So our ancients, hungry with long wandering for new food, were the more greedy and often gave battle.

It was here that the Ancient Woman of the Elder People, who carried her heart in her rattle and was deathless of wounds in the body, led the enemy, crying out shrilly. So it fell out ill for our fathers. For, moreover, thunder raged and confused their warriors, rain descended and blinded them, stretching their bow strings of sinew and quenching the flight of their arrows as the flight of bees is quenched by the sprinkling plume of the honey-hunter. But they devised bow strings of yucca and the Two Little Ones sought counsel of the Sun-father who revealed the life-secret of the Ancient Woman and the magic powers over the under-fires of the dwellers of the mountains, so that our enemy in the mountain town was overmastered. And because our people found in that great town some hidden deep in the cellars, and pulled them out as rats are pulled from a hollow cedar, and found them blackened by the fumes of their war magic, yet wiser than the common people, they spared them and received them into their next of kin of the Black Corn. . . .

But the tremblings and warnings still sounded, and the people searched for the stable Middle.

Now they called a great council of men and the beasts, birds, and insects of all kinds. After a long council it was said, "Where is Water-skate? He has six legs, all very long. Perhaps he can feel with them to the uttermost of the six regions, and point out the very Middle."

So Water-skate was summoned. But lo! It was the Sun-father in his likeness which appeared. And he lifted himself to the zenith and extended his fingerfeet to all the six regions, so that they touched the north, the great waters; the west, and the south, and the east, the great waters; and to the northeast the waters above.

and to the southwest the waters below. But to the north his finger foot grew cold, so he drew it in. Then gradually he settled down upon the Earth and said, "Where my heart rests, mark a spot, and build a town of the Mid-most, for there shall be the Mid-most Place of the Earth-Mother."

And his heart rested over the middle of the plain and valley of Zuni. And when he drew in his finger-legs, lo! there were the trail-roads leading out and in like stays of a spider's nest, into and from the mid-most place he had covered.

Here because of their good fortune in finding the stable Middle, the priest father called the town the Abiding-place-of-happy-fortune.

This is one of my favourite autumn main courses, another great vegetable idea that I’ve borrowed from my friend, Sarah Raven. It’s easy to adapt and alter the stuffing for the squash, according to what you have and what you fancy. You can even alter the squash too, for that matter – I’ve made it very successfully with acorn and small Crown Prince squashes.


Serves 4:

1 large butternut squash (about 1.5kg) or 2 small ones
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
About 50g unsalted butter
A little rapeseed or olive oil
75g walnuts, lightly toasted and very coarsely chopped
200g blue cheese, such as Dorset Blue Vinny or Harbourne Blue,crumbled into small lumps (or use a crumbly goat’s cheese)
2 teaspoons chopped thyme
1 scant tablespoon runny honey
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Make sure the outside of the squash is scrubbed clean. Cut the squash in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds and soft fibres.

Put in a roasting dish, add the chopped garlic and a nut of butter to each cavity, then brush with a little oil and season well. Place in an oven preheated to 190°C/gas Mark 5 and bake for ¾–1 hour, until the flesh feels very tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.

Scoop the soft flesh and all the buttery, garlicky juices out into a bowl, leaving a 1cm- thick layer of flesh still attached to the skin, so the squash holds its shape. Roughly mash the flesh.

Keep back a few pieces of walnut and a little of the cheese, then fold the remaining
walnuts and cheese into the soft squash, along with the thyme and some more salt and pepper.

Spoon the filling back into the empty squash halves and scatter on the reserved cheese and walnuts.

Finish with the merest trickle of honey, then return the squash to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling. serve with a crisp green salad.

Variations:

Crispy bacon-stuffed squash:

Chop 4 rashers of smoked streaky bacon and fry for a minute or two until crisp and golden.

Stir these into the soft squash flesh, along with about 50g of finely grated gruyère cheese, a tablespoon of chopped chives and plenty of black pepper.

Top with a little more grated gruyère before returning to the oven.

Crème fraîche and herb-stuffed squash:

Add 1 teaspoon each of finely chopped basil, thyme and oregano to the mashed squash.
Stir in 3–4 tablespoons of crème fraîche and season very well before returning to the oven.

This is a simple but impressive way of cooking a whole fish. Slashing the flesh lets the pungent flavourings penetrate, and also ensures that thick-bodied fish cook quickly and evenly. There’s no end to the potential variations for the paste – see below for a couple of suggestions. For bigger fish, to feed more people, increase the quantities for the paste and extend the cooking time.


Serves 2–3:

1 bream, bass, grey mullet or gurnard, about 1kg, gutted and descaled
A few bay leaves
1 tablespoon sunflower or rapeseed oil

For the aromatic paste:

2–3cm piece of fresh ginger, finely grated
2 fat garlic cloves, finely grated
½–1 small, hot red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
1 small shallot, grated
1 star anise, pounded with a pestle and mortar
About 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

First, make the paste: combine the ginger, garlic, chilli, shallot and star anise. Season with salt and pepper, then add just enough soy sauce to make a thick paste.

Lay the fish on a well-oiled baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, make 3 or 4 slashes, 1–2cm deep, in the thickest part of the fish, being careful not to go through to the bone. Turn and repeat on the other side. Using your fingers, rub the aromatic paste into the slashes, smearing the rest inside the cavity and over the top of the fish.

Tuck bay leaves into the slashes and cavity. Trickle a little oil over the fish, place in an oven preheated to 190°C/Gas Mark 5 and roast for 20–25 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through.

Check by pushing a fine-bladed knife into the thickest part, between 2 slashes: the flesh should be opaque and just coming away from the backbone.

Bring the fish to the table in its roasting dish and ease large chunks of the flesh away from the bones with a knife and fork. Turn the fish over and remove the remaining flesh, then spoon any aromatic pan juices on to each portion.

Serve with plain rice or noodles, and stir-fried greens flavoured with a little ginger, garlic and soy.

Variations:

Herby paste

Mix 2 tablespoons of finely chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon each of finely chopped thyme and rosemary, 1 finely chopped garlic clove and the grated zest of ½ lemon with 1–2 tablespoons of rapeseed or olive oil to make a thick paste. Season with salt and pepper.Proceed as above.
Spicy paste

Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a frying pan and fry 1 teaspoon of brown mustard seeds briefly until they start to pop. Add a finely chopped large shallot and cook until soft. Add a finely chopped garlic clove and a grated 2cm piece of fresh ginger, then take off the heat.

Grind ½ teaspoon each of coriander and cumin seeds with a pinch of fennel seeds and a pinch of dried chilli flakes and stir into the shallot mix with ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric and some salt and pepper, adding more oil, if necessary, to make a thick paste. Proceed as above.

Matthew Ward: The Truth about 9/11
September 11, 2010
by Steve Beckow

Matthew at age 17, the time of his transition

Over the years, Matthew Ward has kept us informed of what actually happened on 9/11, what the purpose of 9/11 was, who was responsible for planning and executing it, where their funding came from, what the likelihood of their success will be, and other matters which few other sources can tell us about with authority. Let’s review some of what he has said about 9/11.

Let’s begin then with Matthew’s recitation of what he says actually occurred on Sept. 11, 2oo1.

“I shall mention some of the facts of 9/11 that we in these stations of light know as truth and that can be verified by those among you who are considered experts in their fields.

“The planes were remotely controlled by measures designed to override any manual maneuvers by pilots. The towers were designed to withstand the force of the largest planes hitting them directly.

The towers collapsed due to controlled demolition measures, by explosives strategically located and detonated in timely rhythm; witnesses reported hearing explosions prior to the buildings falling.

“Both the Pentagon and the plane that crashed in the field were hit by scalar beam weaponry.

Regarding the Pentagon, the beams were aimed at the section where a communications group had been recently relocated.

“Results of a major airliner hitting that building at top speed would have penetrated more deeply and devastated more broadly than photos of the destruction showed; further, no one saw any plane approaching that building and there was no way a plane could have struck as the damage showed without being seen at near ground level.” (1)

In September of 2008, he revealed what the deeper purpose of 9/11 was and predicted that, when it became publicly known, the Illuminati would fall:

“The truth about who planned and executed ’9/11′ …. in the higher vibrations in which Earth is now orbiting, … cannot be hidden much longer; when it emerges along with its even deeper purpose than controlling oil resources in the Mideast, which is to dominate the entire planet and kill or enslave its peoples, the Illuminati’s long reign of terror will meet its just end.” (2)

Matthew has identified the lead alphabet agency within the American government mainly responsible for black operations like 9/11: “The major terrorist acts, such as the bombing of the trains in Spain, are planned and executed by the so-called ‘Black Ops’ faction of the CIA.” (3) Moreover, he informs us that the drug trade funds operations like 9/11, HAARP, Area 51, etc.

“The enormously profitable illegal drug industry funds both factions’ ‘black ops,’ including terrorist activities blamed on innocents and vast underground areas where their scientists conduct unconscionable experiments on humankind and develop spacecraft, weaponry, surveillance and weather control systems using technology introduced by the ‘Little Grays.’” (4)

In 2004, as well, he revealed that the galactics have in place a plan to confiscate those funds.

“ET technology will be directed at electronic issues wherein money movement will not go the way the dark forces intend and undetectable glitches in their communication efforts will create confusion and errors. I am not speaking ‘out of school’ here as the dark forces are aware that this has started happening and they cannot locate the origins or detect and correct the flaws. This adds to their fear that they are losing control and their activities will become even more clumsy and obvious until all is ‘brought to light.’” (5)

In mid-September of 2008, he revealed that the Illuminati had allies among a mysterious group, which he does not describe in detail. We do not know if they are galactic or spirit in nature. Were they the Anunnaki? Luciferian spirits? “Relative to dark thought forms, those of antiquity were attracted by those in the planning of ’9/11,’ and the force of that combined energy enabled the Illuminati to manifest that tragic day.” (6)

In May of 2004, he told us that “while we cannot assure you that never will any terrorist acts be successful, we absolutely can assure that none on the scale of 9/11, as currently being speculated, will happen.” (7) In September of 2008, he revealed why: after 9/11 Gaia had asked God not to allow a repetition of a black operation on that scale.

“[9/11] is when Earth chose never again to experience such death and destruction at the hands of dark ones, and in honoring her free will choice, God authorized off-planet helpers to use their technology to prevent all such unconscionable attempts anywhere in the world. Since then they have done so successfully on as many as a dozen occasions.” (8)

Even by the end of 2003, many attempts at a second 9/11 had been foiled by the galactics.

“Many attempts rivaling ’9/11′ that have been undertaken have failed due to the vigilance and technological capabilities of these on- and off-planet beings. This is not interference in your affairs or a denial of the free will of the dark minds, it is in response to the massive free will desire for freedom from terrorist activity that these beings are acting.” (9)

In December of 2004, he revealed that more than twelve second 9/11s had by then been prevented.

“By honoring Earth’s free will to never again experience any terrorist activity like ’9/11,’ God has authorized extraterrestrial intervention to prevent all such attempts and they have successfully done so more than a dozen times since September 11, 2001, including the neutralizing of manmade viruses that were intended to create pandemics.” (10)

Matthew said that the black operatives intended to attack stadiums and malls.

“If people on Earth knew just how much destruction in life and property has been attempted and thwarted, they would reel at the extent to which the dark forces go to retain their control and marvel at the vigilance and capabilities of the extraterrestrial light forces in preventing it.

“When your major media are instructed to send out the colored alerts and specifically mention ‘soft targets’ like sporting events, concerts and shopping malls where a mass of people will be congregating, you can know that terrorism does NOT occur on that scale because the attempts have been prevented. I am not tracking these occasions so I can’t give you an accurate count of these ET interventions—PREventions—but Nirvana’s [i.e., the spirit planes'] monitors of Earth could do so.” (11)

He said this was no arbitrary intervention but a response to growing gaian (terrestrial) desire not to have a repetition of 9/11:

“This is not arbitrary interference by the ETs nor is it a denial of the free will of those who participate in the terrorist plans and attempts; it is the collective feelings of Earth’s population for NO terrorism that is the invitation to the ETs to act.” (12)

Sometimes terrorist alerts themselves were enough to scare the population sufficiently and no actual black operation beyond that was required.

“The ones who give the signal for the higher alerts to be announced are the same ones who do the terrorizing. If the alert alone causes widespread fear, the dark forces don’t need the act itself to generate the negativity they desire and that fear produces. But they can’t pull that off too often or the alerts would become ho-hum. It is when public complacency starts to set in after an alert or two are baseless that our space kin become evermore wary.” (13)

In this message as well, he revealed that the galactics had been outwitted in the case of the Madrid bombings, which they were unable to prevent.

“For those who did not see my comments on the train bombings in Spain, I’d like to mention that it was the cleverness of the dark minds that allowed that effort to be successful.

“The darkness outwitted the light on that occasion and while it was a great sorrow for us and more so for those who believed the false location information regarding the detonators, scrutiny was further tightened after that tragedy that was to have been prevented. And as usual, those who are blamed are not the ones responsible.” (14)

In May of 2004, he explained that “the light forces who have been counteracting major efforts were duped by false information from an Illuminati ‘mole’ and thus were not in position to thwart that tragedy.” (15) He expanded on this account in June of that year.

“The aid of civilizations far advanced of you spiritually, intellectually and technologically has been and will continue to be at the ready to prevent the direst of the predictions, from major explosions to nuclear war. Although monitoring has been diligent, false information by one of the dark forces misguided the Earth teams so that prevention of the train bombings in Spain was thwarted, and since that time, scrutiny has been tightened both on the surface and beyond the planet.

“Additional ETs with extraordinary powers of both perception and self-protection have taken form on the planet, surveillance teams in spacecraft have increased their vigilant missions, and the reporting systems between them and their colleagues on Earth have been expanded. And not least, people formerly convinced that they were being truthfully informed now are realizing that they were supporting the dark side, and they have joined the ranks of the active lightworkers.” (16)
Matthew said at the end of July 2008, that the Illuminati’s structure was weakening and they were no longer able to mount an effort large enough to create another 9/11, even if it were allowed.

“In recent years the intense competition between the two factions, which eroded the power of each, extended to infighting within each faction, thus further weakening all areas of control. With growing distrust of each other within and between the factions, numerous futile attempts to stage another ’9/11,’ the loosening stranglehold on world economy, and defection of lower ranking members, the once solidly entrenched global foundation of the Illuminati now can be likened to scattered piles of rubble.” (17)

By the end of August in 2008, many servants of the illuminati were jumping ship. Matthew felt that the truth could not be suppressed much longer, but he may have been too optimistic.

“More and more souls are ‘seeing the light’ and making U-turns from their dark tendencies, including deserters from the ranks of the Illuminati. Earth’s ascension course, like everything else, is being accelerated, and storms, flooding, fires and earthquakes will continue to relieve negativity’s pressure on the planet. You will see more honest reporting as media controllers’ hold becomes increasingly tenuous; the lid that has been kept on the truth about ’9/11′ cannot remain securely in place a lot longer.” (18)

In April of 2009, Matthew laid out the strategy behind the release of pandemic viruses, which included distracting attention from attempts to uncover 9/11:

“In addition to authorizing the creation of a virus and its intended worldwide fear, the darkly-inclined individuals’ aim is to distract the attention of the populace from their growing demands for peaceful negotiations; indicting responsible ones in the US government who authorized torture; the truth about the perpetrators of `9/11′; what caused the collapse of the global economy; the decades of government cover-up about the presence of extraterrestrials; who operates the illegal drug industry; the real purpose of chemtrails and weather control; the aims of the worldwide Zionist movement; and the `black ops’ behind terrorism around your world. (19)

In July of 2008, Matthew explained that the Illuminati do not want us seeking the truth.

“The Illuminati do NOT want you to think about these matters! The more you think, the more you question and seek the truth; and their intention to control all people through ignorance and deceit unravels more and more. That their former media control has become badly cracked is a devastating blow to the Illuminati and more evidence that the light is being victorious!” (20)
At the end of August in 2008, he again said that the truth could not be suppressed much longer:

“The lid that has been kept on the truth about ’9/11′ cannot remain securely in place a lot longer.” (21) But by Sept. 11, 2010, today’s date, that truth had not yet broken through the Illuminati’s barriers in full force. He put the suppression of truth in historical perspective.

“Truth is not yet surging into your mainstream information outlets, but it is seeping ever more strongly now that the finger is out of the dike, so to say. With this media barrier seriously compromised, the dark ones cannot much longer hide the massive deception that in this moment is only barely exposed to the public, much as the tip of an iceberg is visible while the immense part with potentially lethal destructive power lies out of view.

“There have been attempts to stifle the truth since the dawn of communication on Gaia-Terra-Shan-Earth, and the attempts were successful when darkly-inclined ones controlled the dissemination of information. In modern times, they expected to broaden their web of control with the Internet, but instead, it became their undoing.

“Now factual evidence that until recently was mainly restricted to that source is reaching the public through the perseverance of courageous investigative journalists, other reporters, eyewitnesses and individuals disclosing personal experiences. Not only is there increasing exposure of lies and corruption, but also innovative ways people are adapting to the economic situation are being publicized. The tearing down of mind control via the media has come about because of the ever-intensifying light.” (22)

Apparently Gaia’s desire to be rid of negativity like 9/11 influenced the election of a spiritual figure like President Obama, probbaly by the Law of Attraction:

“Earth, a sentient soul, cried out in her death throes sixty-some years ago for other civilizations’ help to save her planetary body; she chose to have no more terrorism like ’9/11′; she has been ridding herself of negativity so she can rise to vibratory levels where her original health and vibrancy will be restored and the higher consciousness of her humankind will glory in spiritual renewal. The energetic force that has been propelling her ascension out of third density’s darkness has been leading naturally to a spiritually-evolved visionary as president of what you consider your world’s most powerful nation.” (23)

Matthew has thus informed us that the “Black Ops” section of the CIA is planning the so-called terrorist attacks, which historically they funded through their profits from control of the international drug trade. He’s told us that the galactics can prevent all future attacks on the scale of 9/11 but not necessarily smaller terrorist attacks like suicide bombings.

He tells us that the Illuminati structure is weakening and falling apart and that the truth of 9/11 and other similar black operations will eventually emerge. We see how long it has taken for the truth to begin emerging about 9/11. At some near future date, the dam will burst and the truth of 9/11 and all other heinous activities will emerge, bringing about the downfall of the Illuminati.
