Quote by rick: Well that's the question, isn't it? Is anybody paying attention? To be extraordinarily blunt, at this point I am by no means sure that anybody handling these Ronstadt re-releases really knows who Linda Ronstadt is, or even gives a rat's a**. The answer to all of those questions is "probably not." Almost all of her contemporaries of note have had their entire catalogue rereleased in superior sound quality and often with bonus tracks, or even bonus cd's.

Linda Ronstadt, Dusty Springfield, Etta James, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Ann Peebles, Millie Jackson - all of them better singers than anyone on that list with the exception of Aretha Franlin, and there no doubt are many that slip my mind right now. Not to mention Sarah Vaughan, Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Helen Merrill, Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Jane Monheit, Doris Day, Chris Connor, June Christy, Anita O'Day, Rosemary Clooney, etc, etc, etc. Have those that made that list ever actually listened to music, or what?

What a weird list. I guess anybody can make up a 10 ten list. With the exception of Janis and Aretha, most of those singers are pretty much contemporary. I love Madonna the artist but as far as her singing goes, I wouldn't qualify her as top 15 or even 20. I'm surprised Brittney Spears isn't on that strange list too. LOL Janis? I didn't see Janis on there.

Of those listed only Aretha Franklin should be on there. Whitney Houston had arguably one of the top 10 best voices, but she was often let down by sub-par material and lame assembly line productions that sucked the life and soul out of her records. All the others are either terrible (Carey, Dion, Perry)) or good, but definitely not all time top 10 (Adele).

No Depression is a pretty interesting magazine imo. These days it's mostly an online thing though. I don't get worked up reading something shoddy from someone that I disagree with. If I did I couldn't read anything. It's only when it becomes a pattern that we have a problem. Overal No Depression is ok imo.

Crow's version no where near as good. I think she's a better song writer than singer. She's a decent enough singer. Good enough to have started her career doing the vocals on pop records for "artists" that couldn't sing, but were pretty enough to pose for a picture to put on the cover of "their" records. As for her version not being as good as Linda's, well, duh. Nobody's version of anything was as good as Linda's in that HOF tribute. If that's the standard required they couldn't have done a tribute at all.

While I was never really a fan of his style of music, I did like his 1990 solo hit "Praying For Time". Again, of course, his loss is just the latest in a string of horrific losses in the music world. He was a talented guy. After his start with Wham it was quite an achievement to recover from that and being taken seriously. But he did well in his solo career. He probably could have done even more if he hadn't had so many legal problems for a wide variety of reasons. And smoking 25 joints per day as some reports are saying? Cannabis may be pretty harmless, but 25 joints per day? That's a lot of joints, I must say. I don't think you can get done much if you never give yourself the chance to come down.

If a 100 years from now they will write that big encyclopedic work on the history of popular music I doubt that Mariah Carey will even be a footnote in it. In short: I don't care. Pat Boone had more hits than Little Richard, yet Richard is revered while Boone is at best just a punchline to a few jokes. So it really doesn't matter because stats can never hide the fact that your stuff was either gold or shite.

"A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (65%) of respondents think those Linda Ronstadt death rumors are not funny anymore." The mind boggles. . Does that mean that 35% of people actually find that sort of thing funny? I don't mind satire. I could laugh about a year ago (or two, I don't remember) with the (obviously) fake article that Linda was going to give a performance of "gangnam style" including the dance moves, or whatever it was. It was witty and I had to laugh when I tried to picture it in my mind. But starting rumors about someone's death are not satire. The're not even close to being funny either. They are just about as unfunny and low as you can imagine. Imagine a family member or a loved one coming across something like that. It must be like a punch to the stomach - especially initially when you don't yet know that it's fake.

Thanks for this Dianna, you made my day! But unfortunately if she is Vulcan she's deep cover 'cause I think she got the "handie thing" backwards. But it was most likely a purposeful "mistake" just to throw us off-it's only logical! Also did anyone ever see the tops of her ears? I think not! It's so obviously a vast intergalactic conspiracy to---well to do whatever vast intergalactic conspiracies do. Linda is what us intergalactic conspracy theorists call a "lightworker" or a "crystal child." The symbology that lightworkers use is the opposite of those that work for the dark side, which is why she does the "handie thing" backwards.

The Human Chakra SystemJust like the Earth, as mentionned in my previous post, humans have energy centres. We call these chakras. They function like receivers and transformers of prana. What is prana? Prana is the primal source of all forms of energy and manifests itself in various frequencies. Your level of consciousness (awareness) determines the frequencies of prana you are capable of receiving. Prana iis the force of vitality. It's radiated on all levels and manifests itself in the physical, the mental and the emotional. It has to do with what we call the aura, the etheric body or the astral body. Can you see your aura or your astral body? Well, yes, with a bit of practice you can. Under low light conditions, preferably at night, extend your hand in front of you and then unfocus your eyesight so that the outer parts of the retina come into play. You will see a vague undifferentiated field that outlines your hand. THAT field is your astral body. According to some there are as many as 88.000 chakras in the human body, 40 of which are significant, but seven are absolutely essential. The Seven Primary ChakrasThe seven primary chakras are located along a central vertical axis of our spine and open toward the front of our body like a blossom. Chakras rotate clockwise in a man (yang) and counter-clockwise in a female (yin). This allows the energies of men and women to compliment each other. The three lower chakras are the physical and emotional centres. The three higher ones are the mental and spiritual centres. The one in the middle - the heart chakra connects the two. The heart chakra is, or should ideally be more important than the human brain. The brain thinks while the heart knows.

Ley-Lines
All is energy. Ley-lines is where energy is especially strong. It's even stronger where ley-lines cross. Ley-lines are said to be 'spirit ways,' feng shui (earth's magnetic fields) and they have astronomical significance. Most temples, pyramids, megaliths, etc were build on these ley-lines and especially, and most powerfully, where these ley-lines cross. Satanic rituals, human sacrifices and such also mostly happen on ley-lines, and most powerfully, where they cross.
One of the most important ley-lines in England, the so-called St. Michaels Ley, is aligned along the path of the sun on the 8th of May (The spring festival of St. Michael) and can therefore be considered astronomical. This line passes through several megalithic sites before it reaches Glastonbury, and then on to the Avebury/Silbury complex, both significant English landscape features.

The Human BrainThe Reptilian brain is all about survival, agression and base instincts. The Limbic System (also called the Mammalian Brain) is about emotion and feeling. The Neocortex is about the rational and thinking. What we call psychopaths have a disfunctional or non-functional Limbic System. Try to imagine how many 'people' in politics, corporations, banking, etc have a non-functional Limbic System and who's actions are thus entirely informed by thinking and reptilian instincts. Four or five percent of the global population are psychopaths and/or sociopaths. To make it to the top of these professions (and others) you need to be ruthless and having empathy for others will hold you back. So, how many of those four or five percent you think there are in politics, business, banking, etc? Yin & Yang - The Sacred Masculine & The Sacred FeminineNo need for much comment here since the info is included with the illustration, except that the left side is the scared masculine and the right side the sacred feminine. Everyone - man or woman has both though. Ideally a person's thinking should have a right balance between these two hemispheres of the brain because it would mean that you have a balance between the rational and the intuitive, both of which are equally as important. Fact of the matter though is that the system with the program/data it is downloading/brainwashing humans with is trying (and succeeding) in pumping out a population of left brain thinkers at the expense of the sacred feminine (the yin, so to speak). Wars, conflicts, world hunger, evil in all it's manifestations are all the result of left brain thinking at the expense of the sacred feminine aspect of care. Just consider how much the female component has been removed from all major religions (the mind control program to which all others need to stand in awe). Whereas the ancients had Semiramis, Ishtar, Isis, Diana and a host of other female deity's to worship, now all traces of the sacred feminine have been removed. The program centres that we call schools focus almost exclusively, and ever more so, on left brain thinking. Drawing and music have almost completely disappeared from the package. What's more, kids get ever less time to be kids and play, which is a right brain activity. The Pineal GlandAlso known as "the third eye." It's not much bigger than a grain of rice, but a fully functioning active pineal gland can give us insights into other realities. That's why "the system" make sure that we don't have an activated, functioning pineal gland by putting poisons in our food, water, 'medicine', and atmosphere that are an outright attack on the pineal gland and outlawing a substance as for example cannabis. Psychedelics like for example Ayuasca stimulate the pineal gland as well. The first thing you often will hear during an ayuasca trip is "Infinate love is the only truth, everything else is illusion." You can imagine that "the system" don't want us to take something like that on board.

The Nature of Reality
I have posted the content of this post already on one of the war room threads, but it's such important information and so ideal to set up the other stuff that I will post that it's too important to not repeat it here. Consider how important this information is to how humanity perceives reality. And since most are (largely missguided) believers in the religion of science, keep in mind that the basics of what I'm saying here is mainstream science.
The human body is the equivalent of a biological computer. That biological computer has five senses (see, hear, touch, smell, taste) with which we perceive and decode our reality and the world around us. However, with those five senses we can only perceive and decode what's in the electro-magnetic spectrum. The electro-magnetic spectrum is only 0.005% (yes, only 0.005%!) of everything that exists in the universe and the space that we occupy. All the rest is what is called "dark matter." And we can't even perceive/decode those 0.005%. What we can perceive of the electro-magnetic spectrum is what is in 'visible light' which is only a fraction of that 0.005%.
The only possible conclusion going by simple logic is that humans are basically blind and completely unaware of all that is. But it goes even further than that. Every second the brain brings into conscious reality only 40 sensory impressions out of every 11 million. It's worth to think about that for a moment. Round this up to a minute and reality as we perceive it is created out of 2.400 impressions from a possible 660 million!
A dimension could be compared to the frequency band on the radio. The frequency band (dimension) that we decode is the one that we are tuned into., but all other dimensions (frequency bands) are all around us. If your radio is tuned into radio 1 you will hear radio 1 and not radio 2 or 3. Even so, radio 2 and 3 are all around you in the ether, If however the radio station that you are listening to isn't right on the dial you may get interference from another nearby station. Similarly, when people claim to have seen a ghost it's the interference of a nearby dimension. It appears to be ethereal to us because it isn't right on the dial so to speak.

I think that in order to understand why the world is like it is and how the manipulation of humanity works people need to have some basic knowledge, or at least awareness of topics such as the nature of reality, karmic law (also called natural law the laws of creation or god's law), satanism and what it really is, the ufo/alien topic, how the brain works and the occult. Topics that are often dismissed by people who think of themselves as having their feet firmly on the ground as hocus-pocus nonsense and Alice in Crazyland stuff. Those so inclined should keep in mind that it's a thin line between having your feet on the ground ad having your head in the sand. And those that have their head in the sand are inevitably on their knees with their ass up in the air. The ideal position for those in the know to have their way with you. That's why those that are in the know want the masses to be as clueless and dismissive of these things as possible.
Since I know that most won't watch any videos or read any articles to which I provide links I will attempt to explain these things to the best of my ability in my own words. It's knowledge that I have gathered after extensively studying the work of people like David Icke, Kerry Cassidy, Mark Passio, Jordan Maxwell, Rita Louise, Ashayana Deane and other such people.

I like the story about the Pleiadian/Nordic sisters. Of course we have nothing more than the word of the story teller for it that this really happened. But who knows? No matter how bizarre it is, it's still more plausible than hundreds of people seeing a ufo the size of a football field and the next day an 'expert' telling us it was swamp gas.

I believe the movie you are referring to is Interstellar. That is on my list to see, especially since I have a bit of a thing for Jessica Chastain . The concept the movie deals with is time dilation, in which the faster one travels, the slower time moves for that person. Einstein showed that in his theory of relativity, which I am in no position to argue with... Yep - that's the one. True about the Einstein theory of relativity and it's use in that movie as well. I'm getting old. Thirty years ago after if I had seen a movie I could almost reénnact it for you scene by scene. Now I count myself lucky if I can even vaguely remember the title, let alone the content. Unless Jennifer is in it in which case my brain finds it's old form again. It's a relativity theory that's unique to me - the more Jennifer, the faster my brain works. It does wonders for other parts of my anatomy as well.

Well, Star Trek to the contrary, I consider time the final frontier, not space... Perhaps it is. I can really recommend that comparitively recent science fiction movie that I saw awhile back, but I for the life of me can't remember the title. I remember that Mihael Caine played in it. Since you are such a movie buff you've probably seen it already. Anyway, it dealt with the concept of time in what is said to be a scientifically correct way. That is, time moves faster or slower depending on what timeline you're on. Like, if you would space travel to I don't know where it may only have taken one year in your time line, but if you would come back to Earth hundreds of years may have gone by. Whether this depends on your place in space or your speed of traveling, I don't know. But it sure is fascinating. Another thing - the near death experiencer. Many of them say that time is an illusion and they talk about past, present and future all happening simultaneously. They talk about space in much the same manner. When you leave behind the lens of the biological body through which we decode this reality there is no space - no distance. You are 'everywhere' simultaneously. These are concepts that are impossible to understand, but then I haven't had a near death experience. Of course, for a long, long time scientists have claimed that the near death experience is only a chemical reaction in the brain to help people deal with dying. But many no longer support that theory since people who's part of the brain that is supposed to cause that chemical reaction is no longer functioning tell much the same story. Besides, despite the fact that some worship science to such a degree that it's just another religion, much of science is only theory presented as fact. And when new discoveries are made old theories that were once accepted as fact are replaced by new ones. I've read lots of stories from people with a near death experience the last few years. One is particularly beautiful and even moving. Let's hope that it's true. I will share the basics of it although I suppose it's completely off-topic. This is what happened to a doctor - a brain specialist. I don't remember the name of the desease he had, but one day he just dropped down in the hospital where he worked. He was basically a plant for weeks and doctors had long since given up on him with zero chance of recovery. Anyway, he first entered a very dark place and heard a very loud noise - like that of hammers to an anvil. He was up to his neck in a mud-like substance and he was surrounded by (sorry, yes it's them again ) reptilian entities. But at one point a pretty young girl came to him and said, "Follow me. Have no fear. You are save and you can do no wrong here. I will be your guide" The mud disappeared, and so did the reptilians., and he followed this girl. He entered a reality full of wonderful strange creatures and with incredible colours he had never seen before. The most beautiful colour of them all however was black. Not a black like we think about it over here, but a serene and luminous black. At one point (as it turned out in our timeline weeks later) the girl asked him whether he liked to stay or if he would like to go back. He saw his grieving family at the hospital and although he much preferred his new reality he chose to go back. And so he in an instant made a full medical recovery that even his doctors consedered a miracle. His wife told him that there had been another woman visiting him at the hospital who wanted to talk to him. This turned out to be a woman he had been in a relationship with before he had met his wife. She told him that she had gotten pregnant from him which she had never told him and that she had had his daughter. When he asked her if he could see his daughter she told him that she had died in a car accident shortly before he had had his own problems. But she showed him a picture........and he recognized her as the pretty young girl that had been his guide during his near death experience. Now, is that a feel good story, or what?

This has always been an interest of mine, since the original film (and best) film adaptation of HG Wells' classic 'The Time Machine'. I personally believe that technology is far away from developing human time travel, but I do believe that the government and other powers that be have a vested interest in keeping the public in the dark about significant technological developments. One of the hottest trends in physics today is retroactive causality (or 'retrocausality), the process of changing the past. As fascination as it is, the implications can be terrifying to contemplate. ' Who controls the past controls the future' - George Orwell And that automatically means that there is more possible than is known to the public, but just how much more is largely a mystery. Many sources (and I do mean many) talk about a secret space program and that we already travel inter-planetary. That we have basis on the moon, mars, and moons of other planets. Crazy? Not necessarily. If the powers that be hide technological developments there must be a reason for doing that. It won't be because of something trivial like them inventing an improved version of the iphone or something, that's for sure. Not possible? Well, in 1850 they would have said that it was impossible to fly. In 1900 they would have said that it was impossible to fly to the moon. But despite the fact that we've made mindboggling technological progress since 1969 at a truly astonishing pace, we're supposed to believe that we've made that progress in any field you care to mention, except for one: space travel. And this despite the fact that if there was one area that would benefit from technological progress it WOULD be space travel above all others.

Thanks!! But none of what you all have mentioned is what the media is talking about during his death. They are just going for the glitz, the ugly stuff that makes him look and act like Donald Trump. All during the era of that civil rights movement in the 1960's and 70's he was the personification of that famous James Brown song/rap "Say it loud! I'm black and I'm proud!" At his most militant he could come across as a racist in reverse, so to speak. But he felt that he had to put his thoughts in as strong a language as possible to make an impact. Sometimes you need to use extreme language to achieve the moderate/reasonable changes you are after. If you only use moderate language they will dismiss you and you'll get nothing. I love this. He was right of course.
