With the significant changes to the climate, weather, and landscape set to happen over the next century, many people will have their food threatened and their lives changed. The most important connection to life through the earth and their food sources, will be in jeopardy. The nourishment that we each need on a daily basis will have to be found or grown under more precarious conditions. Although our food is usualy grown far away and shipped to us, more and more we are needing to grow our own, well cared for, foods or protect our local community garden from the heat or pests. There is alot of information on the internet about the specifics of water conservation techniques and learning how to overcome our worsening conditions through preparation. The site http://www.irrigationtutorials.com is a free comprehensive site on irrigation design and construction techniques as well as improvement options for existing systems.
Another interesting tutorial is done by NowCastSA and is a video hosted on youtube. This video is comprised of a how-to on the topic of creating your own irrigation using clay pots and 'ollas'. It is a well put together, concise demonstration of the possibilities available to those working on protecting their basic needs as standards of living are altered in the new millennium.

This technique is reported to use 70% less water than normal while giving the same yield of produce. That is amazing!

In recent years, protests have arisen against financial power and proceeded to sweep the world especially in 2011, as evidenced by the worldwide Occupy Movement. Since then a group of scientists may have confirmed the protesters' worst fears. An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, consisting mainly banks, with overwhelmingly disproportionate power and control over the global economy. What is not shown are the names and faces of the most powerful people behind those corporations, their misdeeds or their main conspirator's name.
Of course, in the main stream, the study's assumptions have attracted criticism, but complex systems analysts that commented on the writing, said it is a unique effort to untangle control in the global economy. Pushing the analysis further, they say, could help to identify ways of making global capitalism more stable, although many are doubtful that this research will find any funding.
The idea that a few bankers control a large chunk of the global economy might not seem like news to New York's Occupy Wall Street movement and protesters elsewhere (see photo). But the study, by a trio of complex systems theorists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the first to go beyond ideology to empirically identify such a network of power. It combines the mathematics long used to model natural systems with comprehensive corporate data to map ownership among the world's transnational corporations (TNCs).
"Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it's conspiracy theories or free-market," says James Glattfelder. "Our analysis is reality-based."
Previous studies have found that a few TNCs own large chunks of the world's economy, but they included only a limited number of companies and omitted indirect ownerships, so could not say how this affected the global economy - whether it made it more or less stable, for instance.
The Zurich team can. From Orbis 2007, a database listing 37 million companies and investors worldwide, they pulled out all 43,060 TNCs and the share ownerships linking them. Then they constructed a model of which companies controlled others through shareholding networks, coupled with each company's operating revenues, to map the structure of economic power.
The work, to be published in PLoS One, revealed a core of 1318 companies with interlocking ownerships (see image). Each of the 1318 had ties to two or more other companies, and on average they were connected to 20. What's more, although they represented 20 per cent of global operating revenues, the 1318 appeared to collectively own through their shares the majority of the world's large blue chip and manufacturing firms - the "real" economy - representing a further 60 per cent of global revenues.
When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a "super-entity" of 147 even more tightly knit companies - all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity - that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. "In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network," says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.
John Driffill of the University of London, a macroeconomics expert, says the value of the analysis is not just to see if a small number of people controls the global economy, but rather its insights into economic stability.
Concentration of power is not good or bad in itself, says the Zurich team, but the core's tight interconnections could be. As the world learned in 2008, such networks are unstable. "If one [company] suffers distress," says Glattfelder, "this propagates.
"It's disconcerting to see how connected things really are," agrees George Sugihara of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, a complex systems expert who has advised Deutsche Bank.
Yaneer Bar-Yam, head of the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI), warns that the analysis assumes ownership equates to control, which is not always true. Most company shares are held by fund managers who may or may not control what the companies they part-own actually do. The impact of this on the system's behaviour, he says, requires more analysis.
Crucially, by identifying the architecture of global economic power, the analysis could help make it more stable. By finding the vulnerable aspects of the system, economists can suggest measures to prevent future collapses spreading through the entire economy. Glattfelder says we may need global anti-trust rules, which now exist only at national level, to limit over-connection among TNCs. Sugihara says the analysis suggests one possible solution: firms should be taxed for excess interconnectivity to discourage this risk.
One thing won't chime with some of the protesters' claims: the super-entity is unlikely to be the intentional result of a conspiracy to rule the world. "Such structures are common in nature," says Sugihara.
Newcomers to any network connect preferentially to highly connected members. TNCs buy shares in each other for business reasons, not for world domination. If connectedness clusters, so does wealth, says Dan Braha of NECSI: in similar models, money flows towards the most highly connected members. The Zurich study, says Sugihara, "is strong evidence that simple rules governing TNCs give rise spontaneously to highly connected groups". Or as Braha puts it: "The Occupy Wall Street claim that 1 per cent of people have most of the wealth reflects a logical phase of the self-organising economy."
So, the super-entity may not result from conspiracy. The real question, says the Zurich team, is whether it can exert concerted political power. Driffill feels 147 is too many to sustain collusion. Braha suspects they will compete in the market but act together on common interests. Resisting changes to the network structure may be one such common interest.

The study of how sound influences matter is called Cymatics and was coined by Dr. Hans Jenny. This word stems from the greek Kymatica and relates to the form that matter takes on in response to wave influence. Dr. Jenny conducted many influential experiments that showed the way particles would be directed and moved by the sound wave pressure. One amazing experiment put sand on a plate that was placed on a speaker, when brought through the range of sound on an oscilliscope, the sand created increasingly complex designs and shapes. He used a tonoscope to illustrate the different sounds on the oscilloscope and produce different patterns in the sand on the plates, forming complex patterns and re-discovering an ancient knowledge.
Many of the shapes that are displayed are very intricate as the pitch increases, which suggests higher and higher levels of order in the medium produced through the vibrations. These shapes are evident in patterns found through out nature and suggest an influence into the ordering of cells and developing of the physical bodies of flora and fauna.
The power of sound waves to alter the physical world though resonance and frequency has been lost to us until recent years. It is possible that the powers of sound and resonance were harnessed to create buildings and move stones in the ancient past but this has been widely debated. It has been said that the monks of Tibet used sacred horns and drums to levitate the stones and rocks the temples with are built with. Recently studies into acoustic levitation have proven that what was legendary is at least possible. What is known is that the elders of the natural world from the ancient times have built their temples in order to hold certain sound shapes, and those shapes relate back to the ancient understanding of the nature of reality.
The famed Roslyn chapel in Edinburgh Scotland is well known in meta-physical lore for it's supposed housing of the bloodline of Christ, as presented in the Davinci Code novel by Dan Brown. While the ornate walls and ceiling tell a tall tale in the figures, shapes and heraldry of the decorations, there is also a lesser known resonance to the chapel itself. Studies into the ambiance and acoustic reverberations have shown that Rosslyn holds a sound shape in tune with a mystic symbol. The tale of discovery is complax and interesting information you may enjoy here.

This video, which appears on youtube, is part one of a 6 part series that reveals the science behind some of the worlds most amazing structures. It is not narrated, you have to read it, which is interesting because the power of the information calls to people whom can pay attention for longer than a few minutes and that are not easily distracted. That being said, it is worth the time to those who are trying to understand some of life\'s mysteries. It reveals the clues surrounding coral castle in Florida and the correlating clues in Norman Hall at the Grand Masonic Lodge in Philadelphia, and how they relate to antigravity.
Of course in the age of internet censorship and the continual burning of the Library of ALexandria, you can no longer find Jeremy Stride's amazing work on these intensely guarded secrets. Here is a synopsis of the movie and how it relates to Coral Castle, Norman Hall, Free Energy and Magnetism.
https://youtu.be/E8BZ3VhX3YI
Several of the secrets revealed in this segment show the basis for magnetism being involved in the symbolism of both structures by using examples of shapes derived from currents. This most interesting correlation begins a series of corresponding similarities and begins to prove the idea that the masons have knowledge of megalith building techniques which may have been handed down from the ages.
These technologies must have been so powerful that the common person would not be able to use them properly but must be trained in a way that will reveal their character and inner spirit. This is a technique of the occult and has its origins in the ancient religions.
Now, with the advent of fiat money, most everyone is involved in this occult act, which, in god we trust, has the value we perceive and we act out our inner desires and possess ourselves of our comfort even while those around would suffer for it. It seems as though \'the right\' has been earned through the favor of the gods and is to be shown as a social approval. And rewarded with more rewards. An ancient pawn game, for those in the know. Of course, all pawns must fail and this house of cards would go down except for the fact of self preservation. This will overcome the mentality of lack that persists and is the true meaning of the words of the prophets in all the great religions. That we shall overcome is an eternal truth because not only does nobody willingly suffer, they can hardly stand to see others suffer as well and with the heightened communication and distribution techniques no one will. now that is an ancient knowledge we can live with today.

The fire was intentionally set, then this happened...
During a time when Monsanto was seeing major losses due to their contaminated seed crop, this fertilizer plant was reportedly talking about ditching the companies' products altogether, until this happened.
Many people have wondered what the firey object from the left is just before the biggest explosion in the US in decades, that violently shook us out of our collective slumber. The tide has turned against Monsanto, and recently, the Sheriff of that small hamlet released some big findings regarding the original fire that occurred at the West, Texas fertilizer plant.
Residents of this small town are stunned, 15 people were killed and 300 were injured. Many say it will never be the same for this community and that they can't imagine who would have done such a thing.
“I think we’re on the right path; that’s why we’re coming today to announce our ruling and ask for the public’s help,” said Robert Elder, a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms(ATF) declared.
Following up such a nasty disaster is tough enough, but will we ever get an answer about what came barreling into that fire, causing it to erupt in an absolute inferno?
If this small town Texas sheriff has anything to say about it, we can bet the earth shaking news that major powers were behind this 'incident', won't be swept under the rug.
But why?
Revenue, Psy-ops, even tit for tat symbolic destruction is sometimes the motive. In this case though, the implication is that a top level operation to help stop a major movement against the world's largest seed company was enacted and there's nothing that can be done about it. This does come as some coincidence that a small town fertilizer plant which is proposing to go against monsanto, and a small time upstart eatery named Chipotle, also against monsanto for it's incessant GMO products, both have business disruptions that cause major problems. This is not a smoking gun, but concievably, a radar flight path was recorded for whatever screamed into that fertilizer plant, and someone at the top knows what really went down. Will a FOIA request get to the bottom of the missile theory regarding West, Texas and it's devastating blaze? Someday, dear wonderer, perhaps someday....

Free Energy
The reality of power of natural forces is evident all around us in myriad ways. Although for centuries the Economic power structure has created and benefited from a capitalist system that suppresses the renewable aspects of power generation, the time has come for the masses to have their own sources of energy and power generation. The Free energy devices we see in the world are to one day come to the masses in new and exciting ways. Promoted by the Free Energy Party, among others, the new awareness that energy is everywhere will change our way of life.
Although much has been suppressed, the technology is oozing from the background, making headwaves in the sea of space, using the forces of nature. Magnetism is a powerful force and the fields of the earth can power our homes and vehicles and personal devices if Big Oil and Industry get out of the way. Do not be fooled by the 'current situation' the time has come to OVERCOME.
Peace will prevail, and hope is the spark to light the fire of prometheus, raising our vibrations and our hearts to the heavens.
Future News
Electraweaver.com is Future Focused News that you won't find anywhere else! With the New Awareness that we are a world body, resonating in a quantum field of global sub conscious awareness, global power structures are beginning to crumble into a decentralized form of truly democratic design.
While the mainstream media would like to keep us in the material presence for consumeristic gain there are many turning to new avenues, a feeling awareness that something is dis-ingenuine, and an inner knowing that there is a way out of the madness. Having an Eyes Wide Open view toward what is happening in the news is key to maintaining a sense of the relative, and to stay grounded. We are bridging the spiritual divide to give you an insight like you have never imagined into the underlying unified field and how the secret government does not want you to know what power you can tap into with your will!
Collectively we face a daunting future that is most certainly designed to keep the masses trembling in fear of their projected 'enemies', keep mindlessly consuming the media, mayham and money with nary a look up from the trough, but the rumble has become a stammer. The people of the world are demanding real change and justice as never before. The drive to peace, and to end suffering of all people's, environments, and living systems will only become stronger as we move into a new time of inner listening and striving for truth, beauty, and justice for every person on the planet.
Join me, Electra Weaver, as I report from the overground, on the transitions and changes that are shaping the future of life on this planet and in the cosmos, as we transition into a new age of spiritual harmony.
