Mich. gov plans 3rd trade trip to Asia in fall

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder says he is planning another economic-development trip to Asia.

The Republican governor told a group of timber industry officials in Lansing on Tuesday that he will travel to China and Japan in the fall. He also led trade trips to the region in 2011 and 2012.

Snyder didn't give the dates for his trip.

Snyder also was scheduled to meet Tuesday with a visiting delegation from China's Guizhou (gwee-zhoh) province. He says he was hoping to talk with the officials about timber and agriculture trade along with building potential manufacturing relationships.

Last year, 21 Michigan business accompanied Snyder and economic-development officials on the trip to find potential new markets and business partnerships.

Interrogators wait to query wounded bomb suspect

BOSTON (AP) ? As the lone surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing lay hospitalized under heavy guard, the American Civil Liberties Union and a federal public defender raised concerns about investigators' plan to question 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev without reading him his Miranda rights.

What Tsarnaev will say and when are unclear ? he remained in serious condition and apparently in no shape for interrogation after being pulled bloody and wounded from a tarp-covered boat in a Watertown backyard. The capture came at the end of a tense Friday that began with his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, dying in a gunbattle with police.

U.S. officials said an elite interrogation team would question the Massachusetts college student without reading him his Miranda rights, something that is allowed on a limited basis when the public may be in immediate danger, such as instances in which bombs are planted and ready to go off.

ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said the legal exception applies only when there is a continued threat to public safety and is "not an open-ended exception" to the Miranda rule, which guarantees the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.

The federal public defender's office in Massachusetts said it has agreed to represent Tsarnaev once he is charged. Miriam Conrad, public defender for Massachusetts, said he should have a lawyer appointed as soon as possible because there are "serious issues regarding possible interrogation."

There was no immediate word on when Tsarnaev might be charged and what those charges would be. The twin bombings killed three people and wounded more than 180.

The most serious charge available to federal prosecutors would be the use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill people, which carries a possible death sentence. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty.

President Barack Obama said there are many unanswered questions about the bombing, including whether the Tsarnaev brothers ? ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who had been in the U.S. for about a decade and lived in the Boston area ? had help from others. The president urged people not to rush judgment about their motivations.

Gov. Deval Patrick said Saturday afternoon that Tsarnaev was in serious but stable condition and was probably unable to communicate. Tsarnaev was at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where 11 victims of the bombing were still being treated.

"I, and I think all of the law enforcement officials, are hoping for a host of reasons the suspect survives," the governor said after a ceremony at Fenway Park to honor the victims and survivors of the attack. "We have a million questions, and those questions need to be answered."

The all-day manhunt Friday brought the Boston area to a near standstill and put people on edge across the metropolitan area.

The break came around nightfall when a homeowner in Watertown saw blood on his boat, pulled back the tarp and saw a bloody Tsarnaev hiding inside, police said. After an exchange of gunfire, he was seized and taken away in an ambulance.

Raucous celebrations erupted in and around Boston, with chants of "USA! USA!" Residents flooded the streets in relief four days after the two pressure-cooker bombs packed with nails and other shrapnel went off.

Michael Spellman said he bought tickets to Saturday's Red Sox game at Fenway Park to help send a message to the bombers.

"They're not going to stop us from doing things we love to do," he said, sitting a few rows behind home plate. "We're not going to live in fear."

During the long night of violence leading up to the capture, the Tsarnaev brothers killed an MIT police officer, severely wounded another lawman and took part in a furious shootout and car chase in which they hurled explosives at police from a large homemade arsenal, authorities said.

Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau said one of the explosives was the same type used during the Boston Marathon attack, and authorities later recovered a pressure cooker lid that had embedded in a car down the street. He said the suspects also tossed two grenades before Tamerlan ran out of ammunition and police tackled him.

But while handcuffing him, officers had to dive out of the way as Dzhokhar drove the carjacked Mercedes at them, Deveau said. The SUV dragged Tamerlan's body down the block, he said. Police initially tracked the escaped suspect by a blood trail he left behind a house after abandoning the Mercedes, negotiating his surrender hours later in the boat.

Chechnya, where the Tsarnaev family has roots, has been the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994. That spawned an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings in Russia and the region, although not in the West.

Investigators have not offered a motive for the Boston attack. But in interviews with officials and those who knew the Tsarnaevs, a picture has emerged of the older one as someone embittered toward the U.S., increasingly vehement in his Muslim faith and influential over his younger brother.

The Russian FSB intelligence service told the FBI in 2011 about information that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a follower of radical Islam, two law enforcement officials said Saturday.

According to an FBI news release, a foreign government said that Tamerlan Tsarnaev appeared to be strong believer and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the U.S. for travel to the Russian region to join unspecified underground groups.

The FBI did not name the foreign government, but the two officials said it was Russia. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the matter publicly.

The FBI said that in response, it interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and relatives, and did not find any domestic or foreign terrorism activity. The bureau said it looked into such things as his telephone and online activity, his travels and his associations with others.

An uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers said he had a falling-out with Tamerlan over the man's increased commitment to Islam.

Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., said Tamerlan told him in a 2009 phone conversation that he had chosen "God's business" over work or school. Tsarni said he then contacted a family friend who told him Tsarnaev had been influenced by a recent convert to Islam.

Tsarni said his relationship with his nephew basically ended after that call.

As for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, "he's been absolutely wasted by his older brother. I mean, he used him. He used him for whatever he's done," Tsarni said.

Albrecht Ammon, a downstairs-apartment neighbor of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in Cambridge, said in an interview that the older brother had strong political views about the U.S. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as "an excuse for invading other countries."

Tamerlan Tsarnaev studied accounting as a part-time student at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston for three semesters from 2006 to 2008, the school said. He was married with a young daughter. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

As of Saturday, more than 50 victims of the bombing remained hospitalized, three in critical condition.

Lost Cat: A True Story of Love, Desperation, and GPS Technology

Caroline Paul and her partner, the illustrator (and friend of Gizmodo) Wendy MacNaughton, were devastated when their beloved tabby cat Tibia disappeared from their San Francisco home. It was utterly out of character for the timid Tibby to venture far, especially for over a month's time. Pet psychics were consulted. Fliers were drawn up, posted and passed around. Regular searches were conducted across the neighborhood. It was beginning to seem like Tibby was gone for good. Then, just as casually as he'd gone, Tibby returned. More »

Asda says finds horse drug in corned beef

LONDON (Reuters) - British supermarket chain Asda said on Tuesday very low levels of the horse pain-killing drug phenylbutazone, also known as bute, had been found in horsemeat discovered in tins of corned beef in the first such case in Britain.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the level of the drug, which is banned from entering the human food chain, posed a low risk to human health, as results showed it contained 4 parts per billion.

Asda, the British arm of the U.S. retailing giant Wal-Mart, said the drug had been found in tins of its Smart Price Corned Beef which had tested positive for horsemeat DNA in March and was removed from its selves.

"Although there is a very low health risk, we are recalling this product," it said. The FSA said people who still had the affected corned beef should not eat it but return the tins for a refund.

Bute, a commonly used medicine in horses, can be harmful to humans but only in very high concentrations.

"Animals treated with bute should not enter the food chain as the drug may pose a risk to human health," the FSA said.

"However, even if people have eaten products which contain contaminated horsemeat, the risk of damage to health is very low."

Europe's horsemeat scandal erupted in January, when testing in Ireland revealed that some beef products also contained equine DNA.

In February, the French farm minister said meat from three horse carcasses contaminated with bute had entered the human food chain in France but added there was no public health risk.

The affected carcasses were from horses slaughtered in Britain which had been exported to France.

Records: Doctor called Holmes 'homicidal'

DENVER (AP) ? A psychiatrist who treated James Holmes told campus police a month before the Colorado theater attack that Holmes had homicidal thoughts and was a danger to the public, according to documents released Thursday.

Dr. Lynne Fenton, a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado, Denver, told police in June that Holmes also threatened and intimidated her. It was more than a month before the July 20 attack at a movie theater that killed 12 and injured 70.

In the days after the attack, campus police said they had never had contact with Holmes, who was a graduate student at the university.

But campus police told investigators after the shooting that Fenton had contacted them, following her legal requirement to report specific threats to authorities, according to a search warrant affidavit.

"Dr. Fenton advised that through her contact with James Holmes she was reporting, per her requirement, his danger to the public due to homicidal statements he had made," the affidavit said.

University police referred calls for comment Thursday to a campus spokeswoman who did not immediately return a message.

The documents previously were sealed, but the new judge overseeing the case ordered them released Thursday after requests from media organizations including The Associated Press.

Holmes last week offered to plead guilty in the attacks. Prosecutors rejected that offer and announced Monday they would seek the death penalty.

Holmes sent Fenton a package in the days before the shooting, including a notebook that the released documents describe as a "journal." The package wasn't discovered until four days after the attack.

In court, prosecutors suggested Holmes was angry at the failure of a once promising academic career, and stockpiled weapons, ammunition, tear gas grenades, and body armor as his research deteriorated and professors urged him to get into another profession. Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Pearson said Holmes failed a key oral exam in June, was banned from campus and began to voluntarily withdraw from the school.

The documents ? including arrest and search warrant affidavits ? were unsealed by the new judge in the case. District Judge Carlos Samour took over the case earlier this week after the previous judge, who had sealed the documents, removed himself. Judge William Sylvester handed off to Samour on Monday, saying prosecutors' decision to seek the death penalty against Holmes meant the case would take up so much time that he couldn't carry out his administrative duties as chief judge of a busy four-county district.

Both prosecutors and defense attorneys had raised concerns about releasing the documents. Prosecutors said they were worried about the privacy of victims and witnesses if the records were released. Attorneys for Holmes said they didn't want to hurt his chances for a fair trial.

Sylvester had said he was reluctant to release the documents before the preliminary hearing, when prosecutors laid out evidence for him to decide whether Holmes could be brought to trial. That hearing was held in January, with investigators giving the names and injuries of every theater victim in graphic detail.

Witnesses testified that Holmes spent weeks amassing an arsenal and planning the attack. They also said he set up an elaborate booby trap in his apartment designed to explode at the same time the theater attack occurred miles away.

Media organizations said there has been a "wealth of information already made public in the proceedings thus far." They argued there was no basis for the documents to remain sealed.

With the preliminary hearing over, Samour said lawyers failed to show that releasing the records would cause any harm, or that keeping the documents sealed would prevent any harm.

Chemtrails Busting 1 ? Foundation ? Just Wondering ? Alternative ...

The next few blogs will be ostensibly about how to remove chemtrails from your local sky, but in actuality we?ll be talking about the use and manifestation of practical magic.? Every word in these blogs is simply my opinion based upon my honed inner knowingness.? You might have a different opinion, and that is fine.Some of what I have to say may appear to be confusing or contradictory.? A few basic understandings or ground rules will help the reader navigate this blog series.First Basic Understanding:? Words are inadequate to transmit real information.? In the beginning was not the Word, but the multi-dimensional Vibration.?? For more on the limitation of words to transmit real information see my blog entitled: ?Escaping the Spoken Trap?.? I?m forced to use words when blogging, but try to perceive beneath the words and realize the essence of what is being said rather than getting bogged down wondering whether I?m making sense, or being consistent or not.? Realize that I?m trying to describe things that lie beyond the scope of worded language, and so if you tightly focus on the preciseness of the words or phrases I?m using, you?ll miss what is being transmitted.

I do try to use words carefully, and often my choice of words has underlying meanings.? Some of my more-logical readers might do well to consider the more esoteric portions of this and future blogs as poetry rather than dissertations.

Second Basic Understanding:? Things are true or false depending upon your view, perspective or level.? Let me give a mundane example.? At one level keeping written, value-based goals, breaking those goals into tasks and then daily planning and accounting are important and, if applied judiciously, will lead to a successful life.? At another level, that process would be considered insanity as your only desire would be to live with your heart wide open as you spontaneously enjoy each new moment as it arises.

So, if you perceive a contradiction in these blogs, that contradiction may be due to you?re looking at the material from a different level, view or perspective.? Another example, from one perspective there is definitely good and evil, and battles to be won and lost.? From another level or perspective there is only Life and natural law based upon Love.

I don?t mean to belabor this point, but words are tricky buggers and I?m anticipating that if there are misunderstandings, they will arise from a perspective difference.? So here?s another example of how this type of misunderstanding can arise.? I may talk about how powerful each human is and how love is the strongest force in the universe, and then later on I may issue a warning to ?Be careful?.? Can you see the apparent contradiction?? After all, why should the most powerful beings in the universe have to ?Be careful??? From one perspective that warning is prudent, from another pure idiocy.

In summary, try to perceive the essence of my communications rather than get enmeshed in semantics.

Third Basic Understanding:? Please come to this work without preconceptions.? I have not read or watched every chemtrail book, video, movie or expose.? This and future blog articles here are not a compilation of data from various sources looking for consensus or agreement.? Rather this material is my own unique perspective based upon decades of esoteric experiences as I stood for the Good.

Occasionally as I?m writing about something, I?ll travel down an apparent side road or visit some other issue.? Please be patient as there is always a reason for these side trips.

Finally, I do hope you?ll read the material with a open but questioning attitude and please feel free to discard anything that doesn?t make sense to you

Definitions:? In this material there is a difference between man and Man.? As used in this blog series, man refers to a male human, while Man refers to a Child of God whether male or female.? Finally, I refer to the baddies ? those that want to keep humanity chained down and subjugated as either the challengers or the darkness.

The Sun

We are told that we come from the Earth and that we will return to it when we die ? Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.? But, this is flat-out false for you.? The physical vehicles you incarnate (or merge) into have been subject to this rule recently, but your spirit lives on eternally.? You are not going to dissolve into dust ever.

Back in ancient times they could easily perceive that more aware and powerful humans radiated a delicious life-giving energy.? These people could make flowers bloom, encourage plant growth, and easily tame wild animals (reportedly some of this is happening now with Chinese children).? In addition at that time all people knew that life depended upon the sun.? Besides the sun gave delicious warmth and light, so it was natural the ancient societies would admire the sun.

At a very deep level the sun inspires us.? But it does more than that ? the sun actually provides us with various energies and information.? So, if some beings or entities were hostile to humanity it would be vital that they interfere with our connection to the sun and thus we have our current society where we are encouraged to view the sun as a problem and advised to wear dark sunglasses and slather cancerous sun creams on our skin whenever we go outside, and even then we?re advised to limit our sun exposure.Of course, we should always use common sense, but wouldn?t it be more reasonable to simply make sure we stay hydrated by drinking copious amounts of water while we?re outside and perhaps applying something wholesome and simple like olive oil on our skin to keep it moist?? Or does that just make way too much sense?

The Purposes of Chemtrails:Back in 1986 and 1987 there were two events that fundamentally changed humanity on this planet (via epigenetics).? The first event was ?Hands Across America? and the second event was the ?Harmonic Convergence?.? Those two events finally manifested, in a very real and tangible way, the feeling in enough people that we could all come together.? Even more startling to those who were awake, human beings after these events were different than before, and these differences while quiet, were tangible.? As an example, perceptual abilities through our senses (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) were enhanced.It?s no coincidence that the practice of laying chemtrails began around that time.

The challengers that want to keep us chained down are logical and methodical.? Chemtrails are placed in the sky because that is deemed the best place for them.? While there are many additional benefits (from the challenger?s point of view) to chemtrails, their primary initial purpose was to interfere and reduce our perceptual abilities so we could not perceive terrestrial and extra-terrestrial UFO fleets as they flew about in our skies.

The chemtrail haze assists in the creation of a three-dimensional perceptual distorting field.? UFO?s flying through the field are made invisible via a kind of cloaking system ? but they need the chemtrail haze in the atmosphere for the cloaking system to work.

That?s why the challengers endeavor to cover the entire sky along routes traveled by the UFOs with a chemtrail haze.? And that?s also why most of the UFO sightings are in faraway rural areas as the chemtrail coverage is not laid down as heavily there, and if the wind picks up in an unpredictable manner, people will start to see and film UFOs.? Of course there are famous cases of mass sightings of UFO?s ? for example, in Mexico City in 1991 ? which coincidentally is very high in elevation with a rarified atmosphere.

Over the years the chemtrail haze has had to be laid down even thicker just to keep pace with our ever-increasing and mutating perceptual abilities.? Now, with the new generation of kids coming up, there is an entirely new ballgame.? That is why the media and governments are so heavily ladling fear onto the parents as they drug and vaccinate their kids (even to the point of taking away the kids if the parents stand firm against vaccination).? It?s also why the challengers want a war with Iran because those clear blue skies are currently off-limits to UFOs (as they would be seen immediately).

One day the challengers know that the chemtrail program will fail massively as they cannot keep up with our newly blossoming genetics.? We should expect that after a massive failure or two (or perhaps just before a massive failure of the chemtrail haze to work) when hundreds or thousands of people see and film a UFO fleet above their city, that the governments will disclose the alien presence (because they?ll be forced to).

Unfortunately, even after disclosure they will still lay the chemtrails.? That?s because with time and experimentation the chemtrail program was expanded beyond its initial scope as other ?benefits? were noted by the challengers.? These included:? 1) A few toxic chemicals added to the chemtrail mix generally sickened the population and made it more docile,? 2) The chemtrail haze disconnects us from the sun and helps reduce our spiritual and perceptual awareness,? 3) Also, unrecognized initially but the chemtrail haze interferes with humans receiving a special kind of nourishment from the deep blue sky,? 4) Prior to disclosure when chemtrails are laid, this action itself frightens and agitates those who are becoming aware, and gives these people a feeling of desperation and helplessness reducing their vibration, and? 5) The laying of chemtrails has resulted in enhancement of some of the abilities of HAARP.? Research on all of this is ongoing.

An Initial Step

I know the vast majority of my readers want to do all that they can to help clear the sky of chemtrails.? The next blog will expand on one aspect of this matter in some detail.

Realize however that it is important to be patient and only move forward when you know inside that it is the appropriate time for you to do so.? The last thing Humanity needs now is a bunch of well-intentioned but essentially unarmed humans rushing around hurting themselves and potentially getting into trouble as they try to stir up a fight with the challengers.

Don?t believe for a second though that you are limited to only making insignificant contributions.? The truth is you can massively help the Good by contributing happy energy and sweet feelings in your life ? so spread humor, good wishes and beauty to everyone you meet!? Be a source of good!? Your simple, happy, helpful, encouraging actions energize the entire human web, nourish our expanding and flowering genetics, provide abundant energy to our side, help transform our planet to a paradise, and will help us show the challengers the door.

Let me introduce you to the human energetic web and your fellow radiant humans (if you aren?t already aware of them).? This is easy to do because all people that have achieved a higher level of spiritual realization and pure power radiate with goodness and sweetness.? You can sense them even over great distances of time and space.

---

The easiest way to do this is to relax.? Ideally, lay on the grassy ground on a sunny day (as shown in the photo) and totally relax.? The ground, the grass and the sun will give you a boost in your efforts.? Of course if it is raining or the grass is wet, then lay down on your carpet or floor.? Get comfortable and take a few sweet deep breaths.? And then expand your energy along the Earth?s surface as you ask, ?Where is the nearest radiant person to me??? Years ago when I did this I noticed one person in one direction that was maybe 5 miles away and then off in another direction there was another person that was about 8 miles away.? These days when I do this exercise there are happy and at least slightly-radiant people in every direction, and fairly close by!Another suggestion is to touch the people you are conversing with (when it is appropriate and in a respectful manner).? This is the simplest way to reinforce the human web and make it (and all of us) stronger.Long Live the Good!
