Welcome the New Year

So many exciting things happening, we just have to make a quick post.  The New Year is bringing wondrous changes.

There are more important things in life than mere money...family and God above all.

Hodges and Associates 12/31/11

My associate Dennis Smith recently advised that I would have some information for all on this date. Let me start by conveying to all my very best wishes for a happy and joyous holiday season. The coming year will, IMHO, bring life-changing conclusion to this extremely arduous journey we have been forced to endure.

Although you may not be happy with what has been going on, I can assure you that there was simply no other way to accomplish what will become the new foundation of this great country, and establish the agenda for its rebirth in form and fashion as originally set forth in the US Constitution. As I have previously stated, we have confronted, with added pressure from the “lien-holders,” the vilest, most contemptible, well financed forces for evil on the planet – and we have won! I know, some eleven months later, that must seem to have been an idle boast. However, it merely reflects the mighty struggle that has been raging in the shadows.

While I had hoped to be able to advise you this afternoon that we had finally achieved Economic Receipt, which in turn would authorize release and delivery of the CMKM (another PP program) pay-outs, I cannot do so at this moment. Having said that, please remember my prior advice regarding the Iraqi Dinar re-valuation, which has been much anticipated and discussed. Funding of the IQD re-val is part of the World Global Settlement scheme; and release of the re-val will essentially be coincident with release and distribution of all WGS program pay-outs. I am very pleased to be able to report that not only is Iraq now a sovereign country, but will have an internationally recognized and tradable currency by January 1, 2012. This indicates to me that distribution of the CMKM pay-outs is truly imminent – with-in hours/days.

Again, I wish each of you happiness and joy at this seasonal juncture. Please keep in mind that most of this information is not “legal” by definition, not directly related to our Federal Court action and certainly not something I originally ‘signed on’ to accomplish. In the event that additional delays are encountered, I believe they will be de minimus in both time and substance. We have in fact won the war and proof of that is forthcoming.

I ask that you read and consider carefully the entire contents of this letter, prior to adding your own interpretations, prognostications and conclusions hereon, or any similar interpretations, prognostications or conclusions offered to you by others. Accordingly, and please note that the following is repetitious, and is meant to be: I am very pleased to be able to report that not only is Iraq now a sovereign country, but will have an internationally recognized and tradable currency by January 1, 2012. This indicates to me that distribution of the CMKM pay-outs is truly imminent - within hours/days.

Sincerely,

A. Clifton Hodges (CSBN 046803)

Be this the purpose of my soul
My solemn, my determined choice:
To yield to God’s supreme control,
And in my every trial rejoice. —Anon.

Praising God in our trials turns burdens into blessings.

The information below was disclosed by a Trustee, to one of our team, last year.  It appears the problems caused by IRS and FRB is cured.  Our time has come.

Partial Posting from McHaffie:  nesaranews@blogspot.com

Another late developing factor is the protocol directive that the banking system must be safe and honorable before the RV. The tardiness of the RV till 2012 is to ensure the Federal Reserve Bank and the IRS will not have access to your Dinar Cash-In funds. These private entities shall be going down in 2012 and there powers have already been removed. In short - no IRS for individuals.

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

Almost there. Revised today

We were NOT going to post the intel we had, but John let it out on his blog.  We were told not to.  But here you are,regarding the Donors, so enjoy.  Please don't ask us when it will filter down to the projects.  Just rejoice in the news.  (comment is red is ours)

Thought you'd like to see Machaffie's note today: 

"PROSPERITY PACKAGES - GLOBAL SETTLEMENTS

Have gone out and are going out.

ALL TO BE DONE BY NEXT WEEK. The holdup and intel lies & deceits originate from the Dark  Cabal. We including me, folks have been played big time. The messengers have also been played. Be glad when this roller coaster ride ends.

Total PP letters is approx 330,000 (120,000 in the US) and they have been going out at approx 10,000 a day. Delivery is done very carefully by bank courier. A courier from your designated private bank will be hand delivering a registered letter. When you sign for it -- you are under a very strict & tight Non-Disclosure. One word to anyone and you lose it all!

The letter is merely a bank appointment notification letter.

An ATM card with 80K on it awaits you at the bank after you

go thru an intensive 2+hrs review of the Program(s). How

much funds are in each participant's assignment. I drop the

phone when I first heard it!"

New Year Wishes for you:

Happiness deep down within.
Serenity with each sunrise.
Success in each facet of your life.
Family beside you.
Close and caring friends.
Health, inside you.
Love that never ends.
Special memories of all the yesterdays.
A bright today with much to be thankful for.
A path that leads to beautiful tomorrows.
Dreams that do their best to come true.
Appreciation of all the wonderful things about you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012....!  

PRAYER REQUEST

Please pray for a Pastor friend of mine.  His name is Randy and he lives in Texas.  He has health issues.  I don't know what they are but The One who does know is all that matters.  Please pray for His Will.  Pray that He gives him a complete healing.  And when He does heal him, all the glory be to God!  Thank You, Jesus. 

I appreciate your prayers deeply.  Thank you my prayer warriors.  If you would, please pass this a long to other prayer warriors.  When God's people pray things will change!  Amen, Judy                           

Jude 1:22-23

22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

The ongoing global financial war is reaching its final stages. Multiple reliable sources in three continents are all now reporting that a major breakthrough in the financial logjam is imminent. We can confirm from our own sources (including MI6 and Japanese military intelligence) that a large delegation descended on Washington last week and read the riot act to the Washington D.C. establishment. They have been informed the Federal Reserve Board must be shut down immediately and the new financial system must be implemented or else the United States would be totally cut off from the world. The military is also close to open revolt with more than half of the military supporting a total clean up of Washington D.C., according to a CIA source. The Washington establishment therefore faces a choice between stepping aside and facing a truth commission or else arrest, civil war, chaos and eventual death for all members of the ruling cabal. We believe that sane minds will prevail in such a situation and that a peaceful resolution is imminent. However, it is not over until it is over.

Last week the Chinese were on the verge of helping the US government kill the supporters of the new financial system in Washington until the Japanese government intervened to provide protection. There were then discussions with the Chinese where they were given an explanation of the inner workings of the international financial system. They were also made an offer.

What was told to them was that over 90% of the dollars ever created were not owned by Americans. The people who own those dollars do not want them to become worthless paper when the Federal Reserve Board implodes. Instead, all dollars earned through honest work (i.e. not through derivates and other types of fraud) would be backed by gold. These gold backed dollars would then be renamed. The Chinese want to call it the Renminbi. The Rothschilds want to call it the Hong Kong dollar. Our proposal is to call it the Hong Kong yen (pronounced yuan in Chinese). Many details will have to be worked out by experts. However, it is certain that never again will it be possible for private individuals to manipulate the world through the creation of money. The Chinese insist the creation of new money should be a job run by the government and this was agreed to by the concerned parties.

A high powered Japanese government delegation will be going to the Philippines towards the end of the year to deliver Chinese gold taken there in the 1930’s to China to be used for the purposes of backing up their dollar holdings. The Japanese delegation, led by the Japanese government& rsquos number two man, Hajime Ishii will also be given presentations about suppressed technology.

I will also be going there to give them some ideas about a new structure of global governance.

The Chinese want to move the UN headquarters to Laos because it is the site of some of the most ancient and pristine Asian culture. This seems like a nice idea. Of course the UN is now an extremely dysfunctional organization and will have to be totally revamped. It now serves as a global control mechanism for the victors of World War 2. This will be fundamentally changed.

In addition, the functions of the World Bank will be moved to China, probably to Hong Kong. All current World Bank employees will have their track records examined and only those who have contributed positively to the planet will be re-employed.

The IMF will be disbanded because it has only caused misery and poverty throughout the world. It has functioned mainly to steal resources and property from the people of the world. In its place the Japanese will set up a new institution that will function to ensure the safety and stability of the global financial system. Hopefully it will be headquartered in Osaka.

All of these institutions will be set up as meritocracies. Anybody will be allowed to take the exam to join them. In addition, there will no longer be places at the top reserved for people of specific ethnic backgrounds.

The new organizations will all be very busy because the entire commercial structure of the planet will be changed. The industries that are expected to vanish or shrink dramatically include: petroleum, war, nuclear power and pharmaceuticals and automobiles. Companies in these industries will need substantial help to transform themselves. The petroleum industry, for example, could be changed into a geo-engineering industry. The armaments folk will move into space exploration. The automobile industry will start to manufacture anti-gravity scooters. The transformation of all the obsolete industries needs to be carried out in a manner that causes as little social disruption and dislocation as possible.

In addition all countries will have to agree to submit to the international court of Justice. Disputes between countries should be settled through negotiations or else in court.

However, it might be possible for countries to also agree to settle disputes through ritual warfare. They could, for example, each send 10 of their best martial artists to a desert island to duel it out but no killing will be allowed. The winning country will then get a more advantageous settlement of whatever the dispute was.

In any case, humanity is about to be freed from the grips of a horrific cult that has killed hundreds of millions of people over the years. Most of the 800 US military bases world-wide may well be shut down. The US military will have to be transformed into an entirely different organization dedicated to planetary defense and big projects for humanity.

We are headed for an unprecedented historical transformation. Hang on to your hats.                                 Bnjami                                Benjamin Fulford

INTRODUCTION 

DAY TRAIN TO ASCENSION:   Almost all of us bought “One-Way” tickets. Some of us know what ascension is, and some of us don’t have a clue. But that’s alright; we don’t need to know in order to get on the Train. Just as some of us know, for sure, that the world is flat, and some of know the world is Round. But that’s OK, because we all live on Mother Earth. Flat or Round it doesn’t matter.

We are “All” confused about what is going to happen when we get to Ascension. Some of us think we are going to die. Some of think we are going to have a big party. The Conductor is telling everybody that it doesn’t matter. What will be is what will be. Some people are confused; some of us think we know, some of us don’t give a damn.  The Conductor is God and in him we place our faith.

One thing we do know for sure is, the Train has arrived and is at the Platform, ready to Board.

The Conductor is calling for us to get on-board, NOW.  Some of get on-board freely and joyfully. But there are some of us who have to be herded on-board. The Conductor calls, “All Aboard”….as the Train pulls out of the station, headed for Ascension. As usual some of us socialize, some of observe & judge, some anticipate what will be, doesn’t matter. We are now on-board.

Folks we are all on the Train to, “Ascension”. LOVE, and Care for Each Other, ENJOY THE RIDE. What will be, will be.

Message from SaLuSa by Mike Quinsey - December 30, 2011 At a time when you are finding that you have the ability to bring unconditional love into your life, and we send that energy to all souls of the Earth. We have a commitment to give you every help to achieve a state of being that is going to prepare you for Ascension. Your part is to be aware and receptive to such energies, and to put them into use in your everyday life. It requires a new mindset as most lives are presently controlled by the ego, that works in your self-interest. It is the final challenge that is the hardest to overcome but you can do it, and will feel elated that you are in total control. The dark Ones are gradually becoming resigned to their defeat, and lose more power as each day passes. They see the worldwide movements for peace as more and more people realize the value of coming together, and that by sheer numbers they are achieving their aims. The dark Ones have always feared the day people would wake up to their true selves, and the power that they hold. Fear is no longer the powerful weapon that it was, and the Light is carrying people through periods of uncertainty and giving them the strength to overcome it. Events that are about to occur and are essential to your progress, are moving into a stage of readiness for the next step to take place. It means that the year 2012 will not take long to get under way and will almost be a procession of changes, one after another. It is you who are instrumental in bringing the changes into your lives and as we see it, you will not in the least way be disappointed. You have waited long for the return journey to the higher dimensions to commence, and hardly noticed that it has already started. However, in this coming year the changes will speed up quite dramatically and particularly where your consciousness levels are concerned. It will bring an acceptance of each other that sees beyond race or cultural differences, and that will also help bring you together. Humans are in essence benign Beings and are naturally peaceful by nature. We of the Galactic Federation are very active now as we become more directly involved in matters taking place on Earth. It is ensuring that our allies proceed at a pace that is necessary to bring the first major changes into being. We otherwise keep up our cleansing activities of the atmosphere, and keep a strict control on any action intended to start another war. By banishing nuclear wars we have commenced a period of peaceful existence, that shall eventually bring about the removal and destruction of all weapons of war. There is no place for such things in the higher dimensions, and neither thoughts of any kind of aggression. The demand for peace is uppermost in so many peoples minds, and that powerful energy is instrumental in bringing it into being. As we see your Earth it becomes apparent that the Light Grids are exceptionally strong now and lifting Earth up into the higher vibrations, as like attracts like. The process of Ascension marches onwards and the dark Ones can no longer hold it back. Their day has finished and little remains but to round them up, and keep them where their power and influence has no way of interfering with you. Their dream of world domination, has now been replaced by one of world peace as a result of the vision projected by you. There will be periods of difficulty and inconvenience to you as the web of control put in place by the dark Ones is dismantled. It will be particularly relevant to the financial and monetary changes, but be assured we have our allies fully briefed and ready to act at short notice. The governmental changes will not cause many problems, as there will be continuity and control whilst they are taking place. Disclosure as an announcement will naturally result in great discussion, and bring about many revelations to reveal what has been hidden from you for at least the last century. These will in turn result in far reaching changes by introducing benefits and new technologies that you should have already been using. Once we can work openly with you, we shall give you the advantage of our advanced monitoring of your Earth where physical changes are concerned. Bear in mind that the main changes will not take place until after Ascension, when those of the higher consciousness will take their places as the new Galactic Beings. You will eventually become as we are and enjoy the same opportunities, and experience complete happiness. Whatever experiences you have to go through until you ascend, keep focusing on the future and it will not seem as difficult. Those of you who are well informed will be the vanguard of Lightworkers who will help others to understand what is taking place. Once the media is able to be free speaking from censorship and other controls, you may be sure that it will be your principle source of information. So everything is set for really fast moving experiences and changes, that will bring you to a point you should have already reached. Thus you will reach the new levels in stages, and be well prepared for the next big step forward that is Ascension. It will be something of a whirlwind ride once it gets started, but exciting if you look at it from an informed point of view. Many souls who are only just awakening will be utterly confused and understandably fearful. That is to be expected when you are suddenly taken out of your normal surroundings into the unknown. However, people will soon understand that we of the Galactic Federation are assigned to the task of seeing you safely through the changes. Naturally some souls will have elected to leave the Earth prior to Ascension, but are not denied the opportunity to ascend and can do so directly from the Astral Realms. I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and although we do not work to your linear time, we nevertheless understand the way you rely on this method of calculation. We sense a sigh of relief amongst you as you are about to step into the year 2012, with every expectation of the promises materializing that were made to you. If there was ever a certainty that events would proceed as expected, then you are right as far as the year 2012 is concerned. We are pleased for you all as we want you to be lifted in spirit and go forward full of hope and joy. May your dreams come true and your path be full of Love and Light.  By: Mike Quinsey.        Rumor Mill News Agents Forum

The cloud will make double sun appear
The large mastiff will howl all night

Your Duck is Dead

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.

After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."

The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet..

"How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.

The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."

The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman..

The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!"

The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $150."

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!

A REMINDER:

This is a Reminder of what is important in our life; let us cross over into 2012 with a mindset of new beginnings. This was sent to me as a reminder:  A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package: 'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.' He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

'She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on, was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral home, his wife had just died.

He turned to me and said: Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion'. Those words changed my life.

When I read this I made a change in my life.  I now I read more and clean less. I am learning to sit without worrying about anything. I spend more time with my family, and less doing for others that will never appreiciate the scarfice you made for them. I made the decision to return school just for me and I wanted to see what I could and can accomplish.

I now understand that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I am no longer just a survivor.  I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day... I will wear new clothes to go to the store, if I feel like it. I do not save my special perfume for special occasions,  every day is special, I use it whenever I want to.

The words 'Someday....' and ' One Day...' are fading away from my dictionary. If it is worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now....

Ask yourself if you knew this was your last day on earth what would you really want to do or what would you be doing?  Sometimes there is no next day, next hour or next minute.  The day or the hour is unknown to us.  Make a list… the list will tell you a lot about you.

It is these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come…Each day, each hour, each minute, is special. Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.

I have learned this lesson, and this year has been a very large reminder for me. I read when I want to, watch old black and white movies, I wear my favorite perfume every day, I tell people that I love them and I mean it. I listen to beautiful music and thank God for creating it just for me. Each day I thank our God for loving me and giving me the opportunity to learn exactly what love is and what it is not. The moments of life are precious to me and when I sometime forget that important fact I ask God to forgive me for wasting the time He has given me on hurtful people you can never please, taking on the burdens of the world and mine own when I could have given them to Him.

Each day I worry less, I forgive myself and people more. I make a list of my priorities each day. The top of the list is to please God and me next. I make my choices with wisdom and understanding and sometimes it means letting go of people, places and things so that I can live the life that God ordained for me at the beginning of time. I do not want to make it into heaven and see all the blessings that were for me that I never claimed or thought I did not deserved so I never claimed them. Today and every day I claim God's Divine Blessings and Favor in my life.

2011 has been a year of illness and set-backs but I have learned.  I listen to family, I take time to talk to them and not at them.  I play games with my grandchildren.  Sometimes I can see further down the road then my family but the decisions they make are there own and I have learn to never ever say “I told you so!   I am building memories for myself, my son and my grandchildren.  I have learned to take time to tell them about their family, share old photos, and stories about our family and the church.  I want to leave them a foundation that they can stand on, both in the family and the Church.  They have a heritage that is imbedded in the Church that they can stand on.  I believe  whether we know it or not are all making shared memories in our lives they do last forever. 

I know the heart of my natural and spiritual family because I have learned to take the time to listen.  Sometimes when we shut-up and listen we learn the heart of the person. You talk to them, your stop talking at them, you listen and sometimes you share your experiences, your hopes and your dreams or sometimes you enjoy the moments of the sharing and the growing together in love of God. When you know the heart of a person you are growing in the grace and mercy of God.  I promise you God does know our heart. 

I am encouraging both my natural and spiritual family; and  others to learn to walk in the midst of the peace of our Lord and Saviour and enjoy the moments of life's journey that our God has given you for in reality all we have our the moments.

This day I shall encourage each of you to walk to the beat of the music you hear in your heart, look around you and see the beauty that God created and claim that beauty for yourself.

Claim the victory for your life, and know in your heart that you are beautiful or handsome, intelligent, giving and loving because God created you in His image and when He sees you He sees His wonderful, loving creation. You deserve the best because you are God's best. Please remember the blessings that our God has stored up for you, He wants you to have them so claim them and make a determination in your mind and heart that you will live in the Divine Blessing of our Lord!   

Again Walk in the midst peace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and enjoy moments of life's journey our God has given you. Remember: All we have are the moments.        Agape,   Mother C

POOF:  

Merry merry, happy happy. With the heat and pressure out here, I see a diamond coming out the coal they think they got for xmas. Everything is done with folks barely known in modern times because they shun the public but gathering to give a benediction over it all. People who have been looking out for the human condition, the elder folks on the planet. They view most of humanity as children. In this moment, the children didn't want to work for xmas so, it came to 'when', 'if' wasn't even a question.

While you enjoy, your xmas at home, there are others working. I have told you all many time, there's more going on here than changing your economic out look for the future. The Jetson world is within grasp, utter change is afoot. Viewpoints and opinions will go by the wayside, quickly. True freedom and peace are in the offing and it can't be stopped. Fear and apprehension, will recede in the consciousness. Those who want to keep the 'wheel' turning will find themselves 'shunned'. 'Don't you have any good news?' When they throw the door open, we have a feeling people will feel it before the first letter arrives at a door. Everything is in the atmosphere now.

Write this down, as a reminder, Fear; 'false' 'evidence' 'appearing' 'real', Enjoy your day. The day of liberty is upon you.

POOF  12.26.2011

Begin the life with new hopes, new resolutions and new ideas, Forget the bad things of life, Go ahead with positive energies. I hope year 2012 will give you happiness and prosperity....

"Never ever raise a toast for those deeds which you do for yourself, raise a toast to something which you do for others. Make it happen. Happy new Year."

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Merry Christmas to one and all

FROM THE CLOUD 9 TRUST STAFF:

MERRY  CHRISTMAS AND

 May the will of God ever take you; where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Go placidly amid the noise & haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence. 
As far as possible without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly & clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull & ignorant;
they too have a story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
