Why not make a bib necklace super long? Why not hang an art deco inspired gold fringe from waxed cord? Why not dream a little dream? In the realm of Halcyon Howl, where nothing is impossible, our neck parties dare to defy conventional wisdom. You can’t put us in a box! Except for the part where the jewelry has to actually go in a box to be shipped…but that’s just semantics.

Long Gold Fringe Bib Neck Party. $59.

ARE WE READY TO FORGIVE THE TOP 1%?

Nancy B. Detweiler, M.Ed., M.Div.

        99%, we live in a time when truth is spilling out all over the planet.  We are waking up and finding that life is not what we thought.  We are learning that we have been lied to in every facet of our lives, with no exception.  Life has been an illusion and now our false perceptions are being shattered by the light of truth.  The foundations on which we heretofore built our lives lie crumbled at our feet.

Of course, anger is natural; but is it the most productive manner in which to react?  Within weeks, maybe even days, we will begin to see mass arrests of dark cabal members on American soil.  The evidence against them is irrefutable and will be made known to the people.  Once the dark cabal—those who planned to create a New World Order in which the 99% were to be slaves—are removed from their power positions, will we choose to spend precious time focusing on being angry, taking revenge, punishing them, or will we choose to immediately get busy re-creating our world into a loving, peaceful one?

The dark cabal members have sentenced themselves to the unfolding of the Universal Law, we reap what we sow.   There is no escape from this Law, so we do not have to spend time making sure that they are punished.  Can we, instead, forgive them and turn our attention to building a better world for 100% of the people?

Forgiveness is essential—for our sake.  For, in actuality, we are not innocent bystanders.  We allowed their criminal acts to take place by not being ever-vigilant in our search for truth.  The Occupy Movement of 2011 was the first evidence of a nationwide awakening to what has really been going on in our world for centuries.  True, we have been deeply deceived; but, we must also ask:  “Why did we not awaken sooner?  Why did we allow circumstances to reach the brink of total enslavement before standing up and saying ‘No’?”

I am not at all convinced that Americans have understood that we the people are the only permanent office holders.  We, as citizens, have failed to fulfill the responsibilities of our office.  In so doing, we have allowed the dark cabal to gain control over us.  According to the cabal, the best way to hide evidence is in full view of the people.  Why?  Because we—as the only permanent office holders of this nation—have heretofore neglected the duties of our office.  We do not bother to seek truth on our own.

A few examples that any observant individual should notice are:

1.  What is the meaning of the gold fringe on the American flag?

           Our national flag

       A military flag

For explanation, see:  http://www.banned-books.com/truth-seeker/1994archive/121_5/ts215b.html

Does this explanation mean that we are living under maritime law, not our national constitutional law?

2.  Have you ever seen a controlled demolition?  Look at the videos and ask:  “Why did we go to war with Iraq and Afghanistan?”

3.  For all individuals born since the early 1960s, why is your name typed using all caps on your birth certificate?

17. The Birth Certificate

 Since the early 1960′s, State governments – themselves specially created, juristic, corporate persons signified by all caps – have issued Birth Certificates to “persons” with legal fiction all-caps names. This is not a lawful record of your physical birth, but rather the birth of the juristic, all-caps name. It may appear to be your true name, but since no proper name is ever written in all caps (either lawfully or grammatically) it does not identify who you are. The Birth Certificate is the government’s self-created document of title for its new “property,” i.e. the deed to the juristic-name artificial person whose all-caps name “mirrors” your true name. The Birth Certificate brings the new all-caps name into colorable admiralty/maritime law, the same way a ship (and ship of state) is berthed.

So, who are you?  Property of the government?

These examples are enough to reveal just how serious our negligence in fulfilling our responsibilities as citizens has been.  The dark cabal has taken control while we watched and, in many cases, supported their actions.  That we did not know their true motives is no excuse.  We failed to do our homework and determine the real motivations behind their actions.   This failure on our part relates to every facet of our lives:  religion, education, government, economic, legal, corporate, and media.

With this in mind, when we forgive the cabal, we forgive ourselves.  We accomplish nothing by reacting to the myriad of cover-ups that are to be revealed with anger, violence, or desire for revenge.

It is time to forgive them and ourselves.  It is time to wake up and to recognize our true power … our true identities … our true mission for being on Planet Earth during this momentous time in our evolutionary history.

Are we ready to forgive the top 1%?

As some of you may know, event spaces have lots of rules and regulations, but we came prepared with 3m hooks for hanging the backdrop. When the event manager came by eyeballing us about tacks, we quickly waved our 3m hooks in her face and let her know it was under control. Of course we were not allowed to remove the obtrusive curtain from behind the backdrop so from a distance it’s not so cute, but in the end the photos turned out great.

Rebecca went to town at the Halloween store picking up some great props. The other paper masks we got from the amazing Jordan Ferney over at Oh Happy Day.

I made lots of little signs with instructions, such as Pick A Prop, Write a Message for the Newlyweds, and little cards with information on where to find the photos. The camera was covered with a sign saying “the camera is all set, please use the remote shutter release” to deter people from adjusting any settings. We were also lucky enough to have the father of the bride’s camera, and now I want one for my very own.

You can see the rest of the photobooth pictures on the Clarke’s Flickr Page.
