Are Human Beings Disposable?
Have you been paying attention to the news lately?...Internet news or TV news...Everyday there is another person who has gone missing or has been murdered.
Has our society become one in which people are disposable?
How long did Kim Kardashian's marriage last? What did Lady Gaga do for Thanksgiving? What happened in the movie Twilight? Most of us could answer those questions without hesitation.
What happened to Holly Bobo? Where is Susan Powell? Where is Kyron Horman? Where is the Jamison family of Oklahoma?
There are hundreds of people missing and no one finds them on the front page news for very long. Why?
Mothers are killing their children as if they have no maternal instinct. Can't they remember the feeling of their child's movement inside the womb? Can't they remember giving birth, seeing that beautiful child and holding him or her for the first time?
Parents sell their children. Human Trafficking is big business in the United States, not just in other countries. Most of the time the children that are trafficked are used for sex and/or for child labor. The parents seem to go on with their lives as if the child were never born in the first place. Children who are sold are even used in satanic rituals where they are often tortured or used as a sacrifice and discarded like a piece of garbage.
Spouses discard one another in divorce only to continue the abuse cycle in another home, teaching children that the behavior they witness is okay.
There are increasingly more murders and murder-suicides of spouses to get out of being married. In the case of Susan Powell, an assumption has been made that she was killed by Josh Powell and then hidden by him and he has lied ever since.
Parents should be able to trust their children's coaches not to abuse and molest them. Kids should be able to trust their teachers and mentors that they will watch over and protect them. They should never fear them and feel helpless.
What do you feel about this subject?

“Comalcalco Brick” Second Doomsday Date Reference to Mayan Prediction of 2012 Apocalypse
Another Mayan Brick In The Apocalyptic Wall?
Submitted by Scott McMan on November 28, 2011 – 7:16 AM
Mayan Long Count Calander
According to Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History there is an apparent reference to the Mayan cycle ending 2012 date in the Comalcalco ruin not far from where the original was discovered.
The Comalcalco Temple is a rare structure in that it was fabricated entirely out of brick. One such brick is where the inscription was found years ago.
Yes, you read that right, it was discovered several years ago and undergone intensive study. The reason so few are aware of this inscribed brick is due to the fact that it’s never been on display.
Here are the details of the finding and what it means for the future:
MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s archaeology institute downplays theories that the ancient Maya predicted some sort of apocalypse would occur in 2012, but on Thursday it acknowledged that a second reference to the date exists on a carved fragment found at a southern Mexico ruin site.
Most experts had cited only one surviving reference to the date in Mayan glyphs, a stone tablet from the Tortuguero site in the Gulf coast state of Tabasco.
But the National Institute of Anthropology and History said in a statement that there is in fact another apparent reference to the date at the nearby Comalcalco ruin. The inscription is on the carved or molded face of a brick. Comalcalco is unusual among Mayan temples in that it was constructed of bricks.
Arturo Mendez, a spokesman for the institute, said the fragment of inscription had been discovered years ago and has been subject to thorough study. It is not on display and is being kept in storage at the institute.
The “Comalcalco Brick,” as the second fragment is known, has been discussed by experts in some online forums. Many still doubt that it is a definite reference to Dec. 21, 2012 or Dec. 23, 2012, the dates cited by proponents of the theory as the possible end of the world.
Referring to past or future?
“Some have proposed it as another reference to 2012, but I remain rather unconvinced,” David Stuart, a specialist in Mayan epigraphy at the University of Texas at Austin, said in a message to The Associated Press.
Stuart said the date inscribed on the brick “‘is a ‘Calendar Round,’ a combination of a day and month position that will repeat every 52 years.”
The brick date does coincide with the end of the 13th Baktun; Baktuns were roughly 394-year periods, and 13 was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas. The Mayan Long Count calendar begins in 3114 B.C., and the 13th Baktun ends around Dec. 21, 2012.
But the date on the brick could also correspond to similar dates in the past, Stuart said.
“There’s no reason it couldn’t be also a date in ancient times, describing some important historical event in the Classic period. In fact, the third glyph on the brick seems to read as the verb huli, ‘he/she/it arrives,’” Stuart wrote.
“There’s no future tense marking (unlike the Tortuguero phrase), which in my mind points more to the Comalcalco date being more historical than prophetic.”
Cryptic characteristics
Both inscriptions — the Tortuguero tablet and the Comalcalco brick — were probably carved about 1,300 years ago, and both are cryptic in some ways.
The Tortuguero inscription describes something that is supposed to occur in 2012 involving Bolon Yokte, a mysterious Mayan god associated with both war and creation. However, erosion and a crack in the stone make the end of the passage almost illegible, though some read the last eroded glyphs as perhaps saying, “He will descend from the sky.”
The Comalcalco brick is also odd in that the molded or inscribed faces of the bricks were probably laid facing inward or covered with stucco, suggesting they were not meant to be seen.
The Institute of Anthropology and History has long said rumors of a world-ending or world-changing event in late December 2012 are a Westernized misinterpretation of Mayan calendars.
The institute repeated Thursday that “Western messianic thought has twisted the cosmovision of ancient civilizations like the Maya.”
The institute’s experts say the Maya saw time as a series of cycles that began and ended with regularity, but with nothing apocalyptic at the end of a given cycle.
Given the strength of Internet rumors about impending disaster in 2012, the institute is organizing a special round table of 60 Mayan experts next week at the archaeological site of Palenque, in southern Mexico, to “dispel some of the doubts about the end of one era and the beginning of another, in the Mayan Long Count calendar.”click here to read more....

Mexico’s “Comalcalco Brick” Second Reference to Mayan Prediction of 2012 Apocalypse

From: hinterlandgazette.com
“Comalcalco Brick” found in Tortuguero ruins in Mexican gulf state of Tabasco, a second reference to Mayan prediction of 2012 apocalypse.
Remember the Mayan 2012 apocalypse prediction? A second reference has been found on a stone tablet, dubbed the “Comalcalco Brick,” from the Tortuguero site in the gulf coast Mexican state of Tabasco. Though some still doubt the brick is a definite reference to the December 21, 2012 or December 23, 2012 dates as possibly signifying the end of the world, as some proponents have theorized, it is interesting nonetheless that a second reference has been found.
David Stuart, a specialist in Mayan epigraphy at the University of Texas at Austin, said the date inscribed on the brick “is a ‘Calendar Round,’ a combination of a day and month position that will repeat every 52 years.”
The brick date does coincide with the end of the 13th Baktun; Baktuns were roughly 394-year periods and 13 was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas. The Mayan Long Count calendar begins in 3114 B.C., and the 13th Baktun ends around Dec. 21, 2012. But the date on the brick could also correspond to similar dates in the past, Stuart said. SourceRemember the drama that surrounded the Y2K phenomenon? Nothing happened and I would venture to say, nothing will happen either of those dates next December. The Bible was clear in stating that we won’t know the hour when judgment day comes, so why should this be any different? Sounds a lot like Harold Camping’s hogwash.
Second doomsday date revealed from Mayan calendar?
MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Mexico's archaeology institute downplays theories that the ancient Mayas predicted some sort of apocalypse in 2012, but now acknowledges that a second reference to the date exists on a carved fragment from a ruin site in the country's south.
Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History has long said rumors of a world-ending or world-changing event in late December 2012 are a Westernized misinterpretation of Mayan calendars.
The institute repeated Thursday that "western messianic thought has twisted the Mayan cosmovision."
Most experts cite only one surviving reference to the date in Mayan script, a stone tablet from the Tortuguero site. But the institute's statement said there is in fact another from the nearby Comalcalco ruin site.

Massive CME From A Massive Hyder Solar Flare Is Earth Directed.
Massive Hyder Flare is on its way to Earth and should reach us Monday, November 27, 2011. What is a Hyder Solar Flare? In solar-terrestrial terms, a filament-associated two-ribbon flare, often occurring in spotless regions. The flare presumably results from the impact on the chromosphere of in falling filament material.
This is one large CME that is going to be a direct hit on Earth...DIRECT. Be safe.

CME AND RADIATION STORM: A solar radiation storm is in progress around Earth. At the moment (the late hours of Nov. 26th), the storm is classified as minor, which means it has little effect on our planet other than to disturb HF radio transmissions at high latitudes. Bigger effects, however, could be in the offing. The same blast that caused the radiation storm also hurled a CME into space, and this CME appears set to deliver a blow to Earth's magnetic field on Nov. 28th. Geomagnetic storms and auroras are possible when the cloud arrives. Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.

RADIATION STORM AND CME ALERT: A solar radiation storm is in progress around Earth. At the moment, the storm is classified as minor, which means it has little effect on Earth other than to disturb HF radio transmissions at high latitudes. Energetic protons, which make up the bulk of the storm, were accelerated in our direction earlier today by shock waves in a CME racing away from the sun at about 1000 km/s (2.2 million mph). According to analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the CME itself will reach Earth on Nov. 28th around 14:23 UT (+/- 7 hours). Click to view an animated forecast track:
The cloud could triggger geomagnetic storms when it arrives on Monday. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. Aurora alerts: text, phone.
The forecasting group at Goddard notes that no two spacecraft have yet beamed back concurrent images of the CME. This makes their estimates of the CME's speed and direction necessarily approximate. Stay tuned for updates as more data arrive.

Octopus. They CAN walk on land! They CAN be rescued if need be.
Have you ever seen an octopus walk on land? Well, watch this...it's really freaky!
This one is pretty freaky as well...just watch as it knows the direction towards water...
Here is another amazing one...an escape from a boat.
One more...this is an amazing rescue by regular ordinary people...

WARNING:Twilight Birthing Scene Can Cause Seizures In Epileptics
New Twilight Reportedly Causes Seizures
(Newser) – Twilight, Breaking Dawn: Part One might be just a bit too sparkly for epilepsy sufferers. Several people have reportedly developed seizures during the film’s infamous birthing scene, as red, black, and white flash across the screen, ABC News reports. In one case, a Sacramento-area man convulsed so violently that paramedics were called in, and the rest of the screening was canceled.
