People from Sedona are pretty un-normal and aggressively spiritual.

At my dentist's office, I always read the Sedona magazine. The articles, photographs, and even the ads just make me want to head off there. It just looks like a desert paradise! Dimly lit outdoor restaurants, unique art stores, fancy homes with fire pits, swimming pools, views of the canyon, and popular spiritual gurus.

'The 15 Least-visited National Parks Have All the Beauty, and None of the Crowds'

By Talia Avakian - TravelAndLeisure.com - March 14, 2019

All of America’s national Parks have their own treasures to offer visitors, but some are more popular than others. Each year, the National Park Service tracks the total number of visits made to each of the parks, revealing the most and least visited. While the country’s least-visited parks can take a bit more planning to reach, they offer incredible experiences to all those who make the trek:

Watch synchronous fireflies, hike among the world's oldest trees, take in views of the Northern Lights, or enjoy wildflower blooms at these lesser known national treasures. These 15 national parks had the fewest visitors in 2018, despite the fact that avid travelers that make it their mission to visit all the parks have touted them as the best in the country. f you're looking for adventure and scenery without the crowds, here are the parks to travel to next.

Although there are many movie fans who will watch any film by a particular actor or actress, which adds much to their marketability, I still think of her in the now twenty year old catchy film 'Almost Famous'.

'Here's what could be lost if Trump bombs Iran's cultural treasures'

The US president has warned Iran he will obliterate its cultural sites. Here is our guide to the nation’s jewels, from hilltop citadels to a disco-ball mausoleum

Steve Rose - TheGuardian.com - January 6, 2020

If carried out, Donald Trump’s threat to target “cultural sites” in Iran would put him into an axis of architectural evil alongside the Taliban and Isis, both of which have wreaked similar forms of destruction this century. The Taliban dynamited Afghanistan’s sixth-century Buddhas of Bamiyan in 2001; Isis has destroyed mosques, shrines and other structures across Iraq and Syria since 2014, some in the ancient city of Palmyra. Not, you might have thought, company the US president would prefer to be associated with.

Does Trump know what would be lost? Probably not – but he’s hardly the only one. The fact that the country is rarely visited by western tourists is not due to a lack of attractions. With a civilization dating back 5,000 years, and over 20 UNESCO world heritage sites, Iran’s cultural heritage is rich and unique, especially its religious architecture, which displays a mastery of geometry, abstract design and pre-industrial engineering practically unparalleled in civilization. This is is not just Iran’s cultural heritage, it is humanity’s.

This is now somewhat of an outdated article after a couple of weeks, as Iran took a swing back to save face and will probably not push the issue further for now. Purposely bombing ancient ruins would be an act outside all bounds.

"Sympathy For The Devil" by The Rolling Stones

Composers: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards


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


'Sympathy for the Devil'

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul to waste

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made…

I shouted out
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game, mm yeah

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah

But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down

Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Oh, right

What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name

It's interesting to look at the attempts to speak for the Devil in music. High level Satanism, as practiced by people in high places, is the only spiritual tradition that I know of where their highest god is used to sardonically mock using the loudest guises. Are these provocative lyrics hypothetical? Are they theoretical? Does it pretend to mimic a type of possession? Is it the beast in man used in a type of allegory, or is it a real deity in their minds? It's never really clear.

The origin of a lot of popular music, especially the early works in the latter 60s, is most bizarre.... tied to the intelligence community... and just too much to cover here. Just looking at the sheer number of popular musical artists from families with intelligence backgrounds on both sides of the pond is staggering. CIA kids in Laurel Canyon. Were these 21 year olds, often with limited education, writing and composing all of these deep esoteric concepts and mocking lyrics?

Angel of Independence


The Angel of Independence, most commonly known by the shortened name El Ángel and officially known as Monumento a la Independencia ("Monument to Independence"), is a victory column on a roundabout on the major thoroughfare of Paseo de la Reforma in downtown Mexico City. 


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


Patterned after the Berlin Victory Column, the spectacular golden statue hovers 148 feet above the street. I would like to see a trend within Neopagan circles to start thinking about larger statues of say Freya, Odin, Cernunnos, or Diana being erected at some point; even something like this gold-plated bronze sculpture. It probably would be much more practical if it were merely painted gold, silver, copper, etc.

This was from season 2 of the Karate Kid TV series. I don't know if it's original, but it's interesting. It seems to tie into the concept of evolutionary struggle. 'The Karate Kid' was such a popular film, and the antagonist John Kreese really fit the bill with his presence. He just makes an interesting fictional character to attach to the above quote.

How American Indian Land Is Still Being Stolen For Mining - Kierán Suckling

TheLipTV2

Published on Jul 27, 2015

American Indian land is being stolen from them for valuable mining rights, and we look at how the Congress’ secret giving away of Apache sacred sites is awakening outrage over a pattern of theft and environmental exploitation with Kierán Suckling.

'Defense Bill Passes, Giving Sacred Native American Sites To Mining Company'

Michael McAuliff - Huffington Post  - December 12, 2014

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate passed a measure authorizing the nation’s defense programs Friday, and along with it managed to give lands sacred to Native Americans to a foreign company that owns a uranium mine with Iran.

The $585 billion National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 is one of the must-pass pieces of legislation that Congress moves every year. But like they did in attaching extraneous riders to the must-pass government funding bill, lawmakers used the defense bill as a vehicle to pass a massive public lands package.

The bill sailed through on a vote of 89 to 11.

Many of the land measures were popular. But one, the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act, had twice failed to win support in the House of Representatives, blocked both by conservationists and conservatives.

The deal gives a subsidiary of the Australian-English mining firm Rio Tinto 2,400 acres of the Tonto National Forest in exchange for several other parcels so it can mine a massive copper deposit.

This issue is far more of an infringement than the laying of a pipe. The politic of the day, administered by the CFR media membership, is simple: If a person or entity is a Globalist and tied to Globalist political unions, then this type of story is downplayed to an extreme degree; if not, then it becomes a major issue. All one would have to do is notice that former President Obama, who was the one who finally signed NDAA into law, was obviously downplayed in this Huffington Post article... and naturally also by the mainstream media. In any case, this is a very real and ongoing issue.

Additionally, Obama's executive orders establishing "national monuments" on Navajo lands was not a "victory for the Navajos" as the mainstream press reported. Now they can't even use their own holy sites anymore! In effect, the government has stolen those holy sites--millions of acres!--away from the tribe. The term "Fascism" usually refers to the collusion between corporations and the state, and that's really what this is all about.... especially when the mainstream media is controlled by a mere six corporations.... all tied to the Council on Foreign Relations, a Globalist think tank.

There are so many dirty tricks that can be played, such as big corporate interests first establishing a controlled opposition environmental group which will serve as the strawman. In this manner, arguments of lessor importance can be used as a vanguard; while the stronger arguments can be downplayed. If they stand to make billions, then spending a few million on a legal/unethical project like this would be nothing to them. All that would be required is financing and a few key administrators to overrule the honest people involved in the decision making process.

What ever happened to the Anti-Globalization Movement anyway? How about the Peace Movement? They were eliminated by controlled opposition projects. Now we have people supposedly from the left who are outraged because the Wall Street War Machine didn't get their candidate in, and obviously didn't care about issues like this, endless wars, the genocidal bombing of the water project in Libya, the massive defrauding of starving Haitians, etc. Why didn't they protest the wars? Travel ban? How about the "medicine ban" during the embargo on Iraq which directly caused the death of over a million Iraqis... mostly children?... which was cheerleaded by bought-and-paid-for-CNN, which is owned by Time-Warner a CFR member along with all the bankers and war profiteers.

'American Indians Fight For Land Rights Against Obama’s Executive Decrees'

Joseph Hammond -The Daily Caller - December 22, 2016

Betty Jones, an elderly Navajo medicine woman, grew up among the red rock canyons, mesas, and ancient cliff dwellings of Southeastern Utah. Now, a proposed national monument may prevent her from collecting traditional herbal medicines she’s gathered all her life.

Her family believes Jones is in her mid-nineties, since her birth certificate was issued after her actual birth. The proposed 1.9-million-acre Bears Ears National Monument would potentially limit her access to sacred sites and impact herb collection. She also says that she is entitled to grazing rights on the land under an agreement with the federal government dating to the 1940s.

“My late husband was promised access to the land for sheep grazing and it’s wrong for Washington to go back on its word,“ she says. Nearby, her daughter unrolled maps and opened old letters to prove the claim.

Large jungle cat finds its way to Tuscon




Rare Arizona jaguar roams mountains near Tucson
 

Arizona Daily Star
 

Published on Feb 3, 2016

A remote sensor camera run by Conservation CATalyst and the Center for Biological Diversity shows a jaguar roaming the Santa Rita Mountains near Tucson. The groups say this is the first publicly released video of the jaguar, named El Jefe, who is the only known wild jaguar in the United States.



Only Known Wild Jaguar in US Captured on Film (CoastToCoastAM.com)

February 3, 2016
 

A conservation group has captured rare footage from the mountains of Arizona of the only wild jaguar known to roam the United States.

The big cat had been spotted and even photographed by witnesses and researchers about 25 miles away from Tucson over the last five years.

The elusive beast was finally captured on film after a three year study by the group Conservation CATalyst managed to correctly ascertain where it might roam and snared the footage with game cameras.

Over the years, the jaguar has become such an institution in the area that a contest was held to name the creature and schoolchildren voted for the moniker 'El Jefe.'

Jaguars once thrived in the American southwest but were almost entirely wiped out over the last 150 years.

The conservation group hopes that the rare footage will raise awareness of the big cat and help prevent its habitat from being destroyed by mining interests.

Between the game camera footage captured of rare bush dogs last month and now the El Jefe film this week, we're beginning to get a little impatient with Bigfoot's camera shyness.
