WHAT TO DO IF A NUCLEAR DISASTER IS IMMINENT!

by Pamele Geller of Atlas Shrugs

This guide was purposely designed with the sober realization that the overwhelming majority of our fellow Americans would not be compelled to read such a guide until a nuclear crisis was imminent and, unfortunately, their preparation options and time to prepare then would be very limited. www.ki4u.com and other survival equipment suppliers will again be quickly sold-out, as all were after 9/11. This guide then will be the best/only help that we can offer. If you are fortunate enough to be exploring your family preparation needs and options before such a future national crisis, there is much more that you can and should do now to insure that they are even better prepared.

"A prudent man foresees the difficulties ahead and prepares for them;the simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences." - Proverbs 22:3

Tears Are Like Raindrops

Michael writes on 12-16-2007:

Tears like raindrops

tears like raindrops
fill my face
memories of unspeakable
acts done to me

the pleasent times
are lost among the
thorns and prickers
that poke and scrape me

Tears fill my face
like raindrops
as they fall in
the here and now

a place I rarely
stayed, but now
it is safe enough
to wonder freely

Tears like raindrops
dried on my face
as I look out my
window and see today

Que Sera, Sera

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me:

Que sera, sera.
Whatever will be, will be.
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera.
What will be, will be.

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart
What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows
Day after day?
Here's what my sweetheart said:

Que sera, sera.
Whatever will be, will be.
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera.
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own.
They ask their mother,
What will I be?
Will I be handsome?
Will I be rich?
I tell them tenderly:

Que sera, sera.
Whatever will be, will be.
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera.
What will be, will be.
Que sera, sera.

What a Long Strange Trip it`s Been

"Knocked down! It gets to wearing thin!" I guess I never really understood Garcia`s words back then. Yea, I was young, dumb and "God bless America!"

But I didn`t leave America, America left me! I guess, at times, I would brag that I fought for this country. And no one ever said "thanks." No one! Do you know what it is like to come home from a war and have people treat you like you did something wrong? Like you just got out of prison?

In the Nam for less than a week and I realized that everyone lied to us! Nixon, the Joint Chiefs, Hague, Westmoreland...... OK, I buried that! Gone, except in my memories! (God, I hope I develop Alzheimer`s)

But, man, Mom! Mom! What is this Guardianship Crap Like Viet Nam...... Iraq....it is a lie! A frigging lie! But this lie didn`t destroy foreign villages, women and children! This lie destroyed my Mother and what was left of my family! I forgave for Viet Nam but I will never forgive this! Ever!

The North Vietnamese never stole from me. They never raped my mother! They never made her cry! They never did anything to my family........ but the American government did all of the above!

The Two Wolves: A Cherokee Story About Native Wisdom.

"THE TWO WOLVES": A CHEROKEE?S STORY ABOUT NATIVE WISDOM.-

I read this story for the first time a few years ago on True Nature, Jenny?s blog, and now I want to share with you all this amazing Native Wisdom?s Story.
..........
A Grandfather from the Cherokee Nation was talking with his grandson.

"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy."It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves."

"One wolf is evil and ugly: He is anger, envy, war, greed, self-pity, sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfishness and arrogance."

"The other wolf is beautiful and good: He is friendly, joyful, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, justice, fairness, empathy, generosity, true, compassion, gratitude, and deep VISION."

"This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other human as well.

"The grandson paused in deep reflection because of what his grandfather had just said.

Then he finally cried out; "Oyee! Grandfather, which wolf will win?"

The elder Cherokee replied, "The wolf that you feed."

Happy Father's Day Dad

I think that our time together was too short, If I only could I would do so many things with you How you loved to fish and I didn't like to go fishing with you because it seemed too much like work, but we sure liked the fish fries when you got back.

We woke up every Saturday morning to the sounds of you playing the violin, and at times we thought you were selfish, but you knew right from wrong and there was no compromising for you , ever.

You gave the best years of your life to public service and to your country, but I will never forget when you made the impassioned plea in the parking lot of the Sheriff Dept because you wanted to see your wife of 58 years more than you wanted anything in life and how Sheriff just shrugged his shoulders.

I can still feel your pain after your hunger strike , you just wanted to die if you could not see your wife , so we drove you the 10 hours to Winter Haven, Florida .

I remember the twinkle in your eye , thinking you would see Clara again and look into her eyes one more time only to have the Winter Haven Police Dept say that Mr. Willam Hart and Adalberto Fernandez had said that you were not welcomed in Winter Haven and that you better leave town, how you passed out in the back seat .

Dad , after giving so much , how you died of a broken heart.

But then again you never said life was fair!

Love you Dad , you will always be my hero !

..............Happy Birthday, Mom

You just turned 88 years old. I went to your grave, today,but you weren`t there! In a strange way, I guess, my emailing of friends about you is, really, all I have! And, of all people,you know that I was never a Mama`s boy!

Mom, you always told me to "never cry!" Or, you said, "if you must cry, well...... don`t let them see you!"

Mom, for three and a half years I watched you cry! It is amemory, from which, I will never escape!

Mom, I have made some good friends in my crusade for your justice! And I have, also, made some enemies!

But Mom, the good friends outnumber the enemies ten to one!

Happy Birthday, Mom! You just go to sleep next to Dad now, OK?I will be there, I promise! And I will never stop telling people what an abortion of justice did to you, my Mom!

The Incredible Story of Zephaniah Kingsly Part 2

Click to enlarge this historic document

Sir William Johnstone and Lady Catherine Melville were the maternal grandfather of ZEPHANIAH KINGSLEY.

About 1285, Sir John De Johnstone bestowed on the monastery of Solbray "The Manor if not the Advowson" of the church of the church of Johnstone and corfirmed his father Hugo De Johnst ,"OUNCE GIFT OF LANDS IN HADDINGTON, "

Isabella Johstone,married Zephaniah Kingsley, an Englishman from Westmoreland, in Scotland. The Kingsly's first six children were born in England and Scotland. Zephaniah the subject of this research was born in Scotland on December 4, 1765

In 1773, The Kingsly with their 8 years old son,Zephaniah, settled in Charleston,South Carolina.

The Kingsly prospered in South Carolina a prosperous ,sophisticated cosmopolitan city with an active port.

On November 21,1774, the ship Brittania under Captain Samuel Ball arrived at Charleston from London having on board seven cases of tea, subject to tax. Three of these were consigned to Kingsly, There was a period of great turmoil in Charleston and eventually Zephanias Kingsly worked his way to Florida.

During a voyage to Africa as a navigator , Zephanias lost his wife and on a subsequent trip to Africa he married Anna Maadgigene Jai, an African woman.Later commentators described her as an "African Princess."

Zephanias settled in San Agustine on November 26,1803 paying 5,300 dollars for a property of 2,600 acres called Laurel Grove.

He brought with him 50 Africans and started trading with the Indians.Meanwhile Zephanias had transformed his property by the San Juan River that was called Fort George.

Zephanias built an enclave and begun buying slaves which he would observe to determine what inclinations and especial abilities they possessed . He would then teach them highly skilled trades and teach them to speak languages, so successfully was this experiment that "Kingsly Niggers." as they were called were highly coveted in all the south of the Unites States and brought up to ten times the price of a normal slave in the open market.

The first slaves were introduced to Florida by Ponce De Leon, however Zephanias did not differentiate between the races and treated his slaves like family, even insisting when he traded them off that they would be able to buy their freedom after a certain time.

IN 1804 Florida had a population of 4,445 out which 2,300 were African slaves.In 1821 Florida came to be American Territory, by then Kingsly's wife and their children were in control of several plantations that he deeded over to his family.However the American authorities had problems with the administration of the plantations, new laws blocked people of color from owning property and things begun to get more difficult until they ran Zephanias off and confiscated his properties.

Fonchi Lockward a Newspaper columnist writes: Some titles to land that belonged to Zephanias were not recognized by the Uites States Government when they took over Florida, but even then it is recognized that his holdings included 915 acres by Rio San Juan,2,300 acres in Twelve Miles Swamp,2,000 acres in Drayton Island,1,500 acres to the south of River Santa Maria,300 acres in Saw Mill creek,150 acres in Saint John Bluff..

Historian Jose Augusto Puig notes that Kingley immigration took place between 1837 and 1840 , taking with him 53 people which settled in Puerto Plata,Cabarete ,Sosua. Kingsly entourage consisted of three wives,eight (8) children a number of servants and 42 slaves.

In1842 he would write" My colony in Cabarete is doing well, you should see how happy the human race can be in a beautiful place living in harmony ,it is a beautiful place, about 30 miles from Puerto Plata, the land is very fertile we have built windmills, roads I can't wait to build a school there"

Kingsly now used his established ship transport routes to ship oranges and built a prosperous business there in orange groves, in time he became owner of most of Puerto PLata and surrounding lands.

"After his death his heirs continued to live in his properties in Florida and Puerto Plata as a sort of guests, even today is not easy to obtain property rights for his heirs in the tribunals, the property rights that were denied his heirs.

"Maybe nobody will ever try and maybe even if they try they will not succeed, but maybe one day preferably on the North Coast, someone would recover a piece of land in honor of the memory of that indomitable man, lover of freedom and equality of the races that was called Zephanias Kingsly."

Key West, The Africans Buried at Higgs Beach and Zephanias Kingsly

Key West , Florida. USA .- by Ray Fernandez

A lot of you have been by the cemetery on Higgs Beach and have heard about the Africans buried there.

Some said they died and were buried there in the name of historical truth these people were murdered, when you shackle someone hands and feet without food or medicine for months, they just don't happen to die, they are murdered for financial gain .

Now that we got that out of the way we'll get on with the rest of the story.

The life story of Zephaniah Kingsley (1765-1843), alleged smuggler, trainer and trader of slaves, more certainly Florida planter and man of affairs.

One popular anecdote about Kingsley, often repeated and published at least twice, tells of the capture by a Coast Guard gunboat* of 350 Africans whom, so the story goes, Kingsley was attempting to land illegally the government after confiscating the human cargo could find no one capable of taking care of the Africans except Kingsley himself.

Consequently, they were put in his custody and he promptly employed them in making "Gunnison's Cut,"* which the story, describes as a new channel approach to Fort George Island, Kingsley's own property and alleged smuggling and slave training base.

In December, 1827, a Spanish brig, the Guerrero, carrying some 400 Africans to the slave markets of Cuba, was pursued by a British gunboat and run aground on the Florida Reef,about 100 miles from Key West. A consortium of Florida wreckers rescued the Africans and the Spanish crew from the badly damaged brig and put them aboard the hold of the salvaging vessel.

Two of these were quickly over-powered by the Spaniards who carried the larger part of the Africans off to Cuba. The third vessel with 121 Africans aboard made its way safely to Key West.*

Although "complacency" toward slave importation may have been the prevailing social attitude in the southern states and Florida territory at the time, it was not that of the United States government. Legislation prohibiting citizens and residents from engaging in the foreign slave trade had been enacted as early as 1794 and subsequent Acts against the traffic had broadened and defined the prohibitions. Among these, in 1822 the importation of slaves into Florida was out- lawed. An Act of March 3, 1819 was quite specific about Negroes "captured" on board slave ships taken by American armed vessels: they were to be delivered to United States Marshalls and sent back to Africa.

A United States employee of that time, even in a place as far removed from Washington as the Territory of Florida, was in no position to be complacent about Federal statutes if he valued his job. The ubiquity of unsolicited letters in agency records, denouncing the actions and attitudes pointed officials and suggesting more worthy replacements indicates the kind of scrutiny and competition to which appointees were subjected locally, regardless of what the prevailing social attitude toward government might be.

William Pinkney was the United States Treasury Revenue Collector at Key West in 1827 and he appears to have valued the appointment. He immediately notified the Secretary of the Treasury about the arrival of the Africans at the port. Despite the protest of the British gunboat's commander, who considered the Guerrero and its contents his prize, and the fact that the slave ship had not been captured by an armed American vessel, Pinkney apparently thought it safer to interpret the 1819 Act broadly. He impounded the Africans and they were. turned over to Waters Smith, Marshall of East Florida, who came from St. Augustine to take charge of them.

Smith found the Africans, all men and boys, naked, weak and enfeebled by the voyage from Africa and many sick with dysentery and opthalmia, as an eye disease common to slave transport was then called. In spite of the miserable condition in which they were, bribes and force had been employed in attempts to commandeer the Africans for sale. Smith when he arrived at Key West, had to call on Captain Doane of the revenue cutter Marion to help him protect the Africans and convoy the chartered ship which removed them to St. Augustine.*

Aside from the expense of chartering a ship, Smith was compelled by simple humanity to give the Africans immediate medical care and clothing as well as their daily subsistence. He spent some $3,000 of his own money on these. Naturally, he expected to be reimbursed by the government. Communication was slow in those days however, and the circumstance under which the Africans were taken was complicated. It involved possible British, Spanish and Cuban claims as well as those of the Florida wreckers.

Decisions about the situation were taking months but in the meantime the Africans had to eat every day.***

The Secretary of the Navy advised Smith to hire out the Africans on bond for their own protection and upkeep, and as compensation for previous expenses.

And thus it is now told that Kingsley's 350 transported Africans were recaptured by the government and complacently returned to his care. This is a "whisper" that had a remark- able transformation.

The War of 1812 had made it clear that adequate transportation and communication between and within the states was essential for the protection of the new republic, as well as for its economic well-being and development. Navigable waterways that connected important areas of trade and manufacture without exposing shipments to the hazards of the open sea and foreign depredations became a matter of importance to Federal legislators and coastal communities. Responsible persons were pressing for development of the intra-coastal waterways of the eastern seaboard.

Only Mr. Kingsley offered to do the work "agreeably" to Gadsden's-advertisement for $13.500.

Kingsley's proposal was received and accepted in January,1829; he was ready to commence work the first of April; in July, he was employing a large force. A year later, in July, 1839, the work was completed and Gadsden reported his accounts closed in his contract with Mr. Kingsley.

Early in August, 1829, Smith, at the direction of the Secretary of the Navy,- recalled the Africans for their transport to Africa. Initially Kingsley was completely agreeable and arrangements were made for the delivery of the men in his hire. According to Smith, however, Kingsley was influenced
by "a few persons in St. Augustine" who convinced him that there was "no law authorizing the Secretary of the Navy or the President of the United States to order the Africans to be sent out of Florida; that they were free men and could not be sent to Africa contrary to their wishes."

Zephania Kingsly had taken one of these slaves an African princess named Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley, at an early age, she survived the Middle Passage and dehumanizing slave markets to become the property of Kingsley. After manumission by her husband, Anna became a landowner and slaveholder. She raised her four children while managing a plantation that utilized African slave labor and they were treated so well that they were now considered family and did not wish to leave when offered their freedom, but that will have to be the subject of another story in the fascinating life of Zephanias Kingsly

Slave running continued until the late 1860's where the Navy routinely rescued Africans offshore and brought them to Key West . The U.S Steamship Mohawk,Wyandott and Crusader rescued 507 from the vessel Wildfire, some 513 were rescued from the William, and 417 from the Bogota, the human cargo was unloaded at Higss Beach where many of them died and were buried in unmarked graves where West Martello Tower now stands. The government rounded the Africans up and sent then to Liberia, West Africa, a country founded by former American slaves, unfortunately many died on the ships before reaching Liberia and this will always stand as a monument of man's inhumanity to man.

The Promise Of Dolphin -Assisted Therapy

Author:Wolff, Robert

Deena Hoagland understands the impact a dolphin can have on a human life. Her son, Joe, was left partially paralyzed and visually impaired after having a stroke at the age of three during open-heart surgery.

Deena learned about Dolphins Plus, a nearby research center specializing in dolphin communication. Wanting to get Joe into the water, and intrigued by the prospect of exposing him to dolphins, Deena secured permission from Dolphins Plus owner, Lloyd Borguss, to bring Joe to the center.

It was at Dolphins Plus that Joe first encountered Fonzie, an Atlantic-bottlenosed dolphin. Meeting Fonzie prompted Joe to smile and laugh for the first time since his stroke. Before long, Joe was not only walking, he was bringing Fonzie buckets of fish. After 22 months of interacting with the dolphin, and participating in swim therapy and physical therapy, Joe was close to a full recovery. Now, 11 years later, Joe and Fonzie remain the best of friends.

What Is It About Dolphins?

Researchers have found, for example, that dolphin-assisted therapy aids in reducing stress and increasing relaxation, alleviating depression, boosting production of infection fighting T-cells, stimulating production of endorphins and hormones, enhancing recovery, and reducing pain.
One of the more popular theories is that the dolphin's use of sonar and echolocation produces changes in a person's body tissue and cell structure. Similar to the effect of music therapy, some researchers have suggested that the sounds dolphins emit through their whistles and clicks help produce these changes. Indeed, some individuals swimming with dolphins have reported actually sensing that they were being scanned.

They say the echolocation resonated in their bones as they felt it pass through their bodies, producing a tingling sensation.

Another theory is that dolphins are uniquely sensitive to the needs of people with disabilities and seek to help them through playful expressions of concern. This is sometimes referred to as a "secret language" shared when dolphins and people with disabilities "communicate." Dr. Smith goes so far as to suggest that dolphins communicate acoustically with a variety of movements and attend to the body cues of individuals; in particular, individuals with autism, thereby seemingly understanding their thoughts and actions.
