OATHBOUND - ADVICE TO YOUNG MAGICIANS
Advice to Young Magicians - Lyrics
The Firebird knows your anger,
And the Firebird feels your fear.
For your passions will attract her,
And your feelings draw her near.
But hate and fear and fury
Only make her flame and fly
You must rule your heart, magician,
Or by her bright wings you'll die.
Now the Cold Drake lives in silence
And he feeds on dark despair.
Where the shadows form the bleakest
You will find the Cold Drake there.
For he seeks to chill your spirit
And to lure you down to death
Learn to rule your soul, magician,
Ere you dare the Cold Drake's breath.
The Gryphon is a proud beast
He's master of the sky.
And no one can forget the sight
Who has seen a Gryphon fly.
But his will is formed in magic,
And not mortal flesh and bone.
And if you would rule the Gryphon's will
You must first control your own.
The kyree is a creature
With a soul both old an wise.
You must never seek to fool him
For he sees through all disguise.
If you seek to call a kyree
All your secrets he shall pluck
So be certain you are worthy
Or the kyree will not come.
Your own heart you must conquer
If the Firebird you would call.
You must know the dark within you
Ere you seek the Cold Drake's heart.
Here is better read, magician,
Than those books upon your shelf.
If you seek to master others
You must master first yourself.

Things yet to do.
Due to the deterioration in quality of comments posted on the Compass Morainn Journal, I am finding I must once again go in and clean house. I think this time I will need to see if there is a method of closing commenting. I don't have time for the bs of having to go erase comments that exceed simple standards of common decency.
Compass Morainn continues in stasis, watching and waiting.

THE ARIZONA SWORD
I couldn't tell you the provenance of this local legend that I wrote up and put to music. It seems to date from Conquistador days, which would put it somewhere before 1690, but it also contains sentiments that seem distinctly post-Revolutionary. Then again, the Pueblo Indian tribes who threw out Spanish rule in the Great Pueblo Revolt of 1690 had a lot of similar ideas, so the legend really could be that old. You can get a truly amazing view of history by asking the Indians about their side of the story.
"Blacksmith make a sword for me, such as none did ever see,
For ancient symbols of majesty have power in troubled times.
Blacksmith, make me a magic sword, one that will make me the valley's lord,
Where folk will hail with one accord to save them from their crimes."
"Seeing he would not be deterred, the blacksmith took him at his word
And pondered long on what he'd heard about this would-be lord.
He pumped the fire and he made his start, melted iron in the fire's heart,
But he named the steel with an older art the Arizona Sword."
"He chanted words to the blazing mix, of ancient Red Men's and White Men's tricks
To draw a spirit, and purpose fix in what the blade would feel.
The iron laws from Nature's hand, the ruthless will of the desert land,
The freedom no one can command -- and cast that thought in steel."
"And when the blacksmith's work was done, the new sword gleamed like the setting sun.
All down the blade did the old runes run, a warning plain to see.
The steel was grained like the finest wood, a full yard long and more it stood.
The runes read, 'I serve but the good of life and liberty.'"
"Near the hilt, set in copper wire, a phoenix rose up from the pyre.
A copper star within the fire rayed out copper cords.
The grip was like a segwaro made that clasped a moon in quartz and jade.
In truth, like as no other blade was the Arizona Sword."
"Blacksmith, well have ye served my cause. This shall aid me to make the laws.
Hmmm, the guards are shaped like cougar's paws; in truth, like none I've seen.
The price is steep, but I shall not carp. She'll sing more praise than a minstrel's harp.
Ye gods, that blade is razor-sharp!...For a symbol very keen."
"And cheap She'll be if I strike ye dead!" The blacksmith promptly turned and fled.
The lordling laughed and shrugged instead, and went out to meet his horde.
He cried out, 'This is the day foretold. Just one hand now this land shall hold,
for in this sign will I rule. Behold the Arizona Sword!'"
"'No more arguement shall we find, but all hereafter shall be inclined
To just one purpose and just one mind. Thus do I mean to do.
Now go ye forth, and take the land.' The sword heard well his first comand.
She lunged and twisted in his hand, and fell, and ran him through."
"They say the sword vanished clean away, for none has heard of it since that day,
But seek it wisely, and find ye may. Take care, who would be lord.
Beware, ye tyrant! Beware, ye fool! For who is the master and who the tool?
Ye may well serve, but ye shall not rule, the Arizona Sword.

"FEMA orders 200,000 death certificates for tptb they've lost control
No I don't think so. Remember, "the truth is different at every level."pman35 wrote:"FEMA orders 200,000 death certificates for tptb they've lost control
We have noted that many employees are involved for the right reasons. But there is obvious compartmentalization going on and they are not as informed as others are...
We have multiple issues creating a matrix of imperatives.
I will expound more on my thoughts for you when I return tonight. I have to run some errands. BBL.
While I'm gone note, that the ordering of death certificates does not jive with what the FEMA employee reports in the video on the "Huge I Told You So" thread. Nor does it jive with a framework of multiple millennia to arrive at the same cataclysm which the Dananns experienced along with the rest of the world in the midst of that civil war over their civilization's corruption (Pre-Return). The history indicates we are currently in that window for current cycle.
Gotta Run.
Patrick and I have had extensive discussion over the last several years about the ancient Tuatha De Dananns. Primarily in the context of them being survivors of the last high technological civilization and an event that enveloped the entire world destroying that civilization and causing them to flee the planet for several generations and then to return in the aftermath knowing full well that they were facing a post technological agrarian existence. Also included in this has been the work of E.A. James Swagger who has been examining the stone circles, cairns, menhirs and other structures across Eire, Britain, and Europe which according to the Old Irish surviving oral history about them relates that they were part of an effort after the Dananns return to map out the new position of the planet complete with new period for a year, new positions of seasons, and relations to celestial events and bodies.
The event that over took that civilization was a cyclic planetary event which according to the old story we are currently in the window for. The event involves the passage of a visitor to the realm beyond our world which brings chaos to our world to differing degrees each cycle. The cycle that took out that ancient technological civilization was severe resulting in weather disruption, volcanism, earthquakes, water displacement, flooding, rising and falling of land masses, and pole shift and a potential change in the distance of the planet from the sun.
In the course of other discussions I now have a collection of three other affirmations matching this old story. The only difference has been over opinion as to time frame for event.
Here is the latest:
For those familiar with my occasional commentary, peripheral discussion to this cyclic cataclysm includes an unambiguous contact event, the revival of the post-cataclysm culture of the Dananns in an effort to provide a framework of experience for a modern post-cataclysm and post contact culture of excellence which can have a distinctly powerful effect resulting in survival capacity, and an awareness that we currently struggle with a fear-laden conflict and corruption paradigm just as the ancient world did at the time of the last catastrophic event.
Discussion about population reduction, population stabilization and human potential has been a topic touched on in Dan Smiths thread this year, an FYI for anyone who didn't catch it at the time.
Recent discussion between Patrick and I has covered Michael Regans translation work on the Sword of the Return and the Lia Fail which may be a knowledge storage device that the Dananns and their Irish descendants protected for many millenia, that may be genetically triggered and contain information about the offworld origins of the human race and historical information about the technological civilization that died in the planetary cataclysm.

Yeah that is the terror alert they issued at the end of the week, and Fri one of the infowars reporters caught the cops on video all in mil gear decked like for war doing one of those no warrant apartment invasions and hauling off his neighbors without explanation. That's becoming common place. The patriot community thinks they're using the alerts as an excuse to disappear people that are not very tied in to nwo resistance networks which would attract attention but active enough to be a problem in open martial law.

**********************The Guardian article wrote:Law enforcement agencies in Texas have received a special threat advisory based on information provided by the Department of Homeland Security indicating Austin, Texas, has been singled out for a terrorist attack on Friday, August 9. Pasadena, California, is also mentioned in the advisory.
The document was provided to Infowars.com by sources in the Texas State Police Department on Thursday evening as reads as follows: “According to anonymous reporting, a group of trained terrorists are planning to conduct attacks in Austin, Texas and Pasadena, California at the conclusion of the Ramadan period.” The document is marked for official and law enforcement use.
The advisory claims unspecified terrorists or a terrorist group will duplicate the Boston bombing by using backpack explosives. The target is said to be 6tth Street in Austin, a popular tourist attraction that is crowded on weekends.
“Additionally, the group plans to attack a school and theological seminary in the downtown Austin area and complete the attack with operations at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.”
As reported by Infowars.com on Thursday, multi-agency “homeland security” drills will be conducted in the Austin area over the next few weeks. Agencies involved in the joint operation include the FBI, the Austin Police Department, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, and the University Of Texas Police Department.
“The public should not be alarmed if they observe unordinary law enforcement or first responder activity over the next few weeks in the Austin area,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw, who is also the Texas Homeland Security Director. Drills and exercises have served as cover for real or perceived to be real attacks on numerous occasions.

Well this is proving to be an interesting morning. Richard Smith is passing around, between Richard Hoagland, George J Haas and myself, a banner pic of Andrew Basiago for POTUS 2016 (unnervingly titled "Andy 2016").
Richard wasn't around a few years ago when a person by the name of "Andy" and a few cohorts single handedly managed to alienate every group of "willing to consider real-time communicating" insiders on the current state of Contact and its system inhabitant reactions watching a particular communication event to see how the ufology community would deal with it. It of course as we all know ended badly and the peripheral observers subsequently and unequivocally labeled the whole community full of freaks and "too toxic to deal with". I guess neither Richard nor Basiago ever got that memo and Mr Basiago belongs to a different faction altogether anyway so why would he care? But it might not matter in the long run as the whole of ufology, doesn't seem to give a rats posterior about what system inhabitants think anymore anyway, openly remarking them as inconsequential on occasions, unless of course they want free health care at the expense of the nearly extinct middle class.

And most people who are not actually involved, are seriously prone to believing it! Which, do you ask?

NYTimes.com News Alert - Breaking News: Stop-and-Frisk Policy in New York City Violated Rights, Judge Rules
In a repudiation of a major element in the Bloomberg administration’s crime-fighting legacy, a federal judge has found that the stop-and-frisk tactics of the New York Police Department violated the constitutional rights of tens of thousands of New Yorkers, and called for a federal monitor to oversee broad reforms.
In a decision issued on Monday, the judge, Shira A. Scheindlin, ruled that police officers have for years been systematically stopping innocent people in the street without any objective reason to suspect them of wrongdoing. Officers often frisked these people, usually young minority men, for weapons or searched their pockets for contraband, like drugs, before letting them go, according to the 195-page decision.
These stop-and-frisk episodes, which soared in number over the last decade as crime continued to decline, demonstrated a widespread disregard for the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, according to the ruling. It also found violations with the 14th Amendment.

Richard wasn't around a few years ago when a person by the name of "Andy" and a few cohorts single handedly managed to alienate every group of "willing to consider real-time communicating" insiders on the current state of Contact and its system inhabitant reactions watching a particular communication event to see how the ufology community would deal with it. It of course as we all know ended badly and the peripheral observers subsequently and unequivocally labeled the whole community full of freaks and "too toxic to deal with". I guess neither Richard nor Basiago ever got that memo and Mr Basiago belongs to a different faction altogether anyway so why would he care? But it might not matter in the long run as the whole of ufology, doesn't seem to give a rats posterior about what system inhabitants think anymore anyway, openly remarking them as inconsequential on occasions, unless of course they want free health care at the expense of the nearly extinct middle class.
And speaking of extinction level events - when it comes to whistleblowers:

Long time listener. Great admirer in Christ. Real quick background on me to verify the legitimacy of this message. I have been an Infantry soldier in the Army National Guard in Illinois for 8 years. I am an NCO. Today, I was westbound on I-70 between Casey, IL and Effingham, IL. Effingham, IL is the location of my unit which is the largest National Guard Infantry company in Illinois. I, along with 2 other Army friends of mine, counted over 30 military vehicles. Approximately 15 UP-ARMORED Humvee's and approx 15 LMTV (troop carriers). Each Humvee either had a generator attached to the rear of it or the light system they use on the highways for night construction or night CHECKPOINTS. I want to make this clear. The length of my enlistment in the Army, I have never seen a convoy of this magnitude especially with UP-ARMORED humvee's. Along with all the other Q Alerts and warnings we have had, this is a clear sign "they" are moving their pieces into place. I pray for all of you everyday.

Steve,
I just read the post by Military NCO and thought I would tell you my observations.
I was traveling on I35 North bound from Austin Tx. to Dallas Friday(8/9/13) morning.
I saw at minimum 5 convoys of between 5 to 10 vehicles each traveling south bound (assuming from Waco area, Fort Hood)
and at least 2 or 3 convoys traveling north. Each of these convoys vehicles were equipped just like Military NCO described, almost everyone of them were pulling trailers with generators in them, the ones without generators were packed with other various gear and supplies. I got a very funny(anxious, odd) feeling when seeing this knowing all the other warnings coming out.
Just thought I'd pass it along.

At a time when President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin appear to be clashing over the extradition of Edward Snowden, it’s hard to imagine signing an agreement that allows Russian troops to provide security at events on US soil… but that’s exactly what the Obama Administration did recently.
According to an agreement signed in Washington, DC last week between FEMA and the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry, Russian troops can now be deployed to provide security at so-called “National Special Security Events,” such as the Super Bowl and G8 summits.
This is a perfect example of the smoke and mirrors tactic that the Obama Administration has been using throughout his presidency. Their motto is: ”Never let a crisis go to waste.”
In this case, they’re simply using the NSA crisis to distract Americans as they adopt disastrous measures to weaken American sovereignty.
How can this possibly be anything but a blatant effort to erode US sovereignty and move the nation further down the road toward global government?
Concerns about foreign troops being used on US soil have lingered ever since the release of State Department Publication 7277, which is a blueprint for the harmonization of US and Russian forces under a framework of United Nations-led global government.
Under the terms of the new deal, Russian troops could be deployed at ”National Special Security Events,” as determined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Events that have been awarded this status in the past include the Super Bowl, international summits such as the G8 and presidential inaugurations.
Back in 2008 it was reported that US and Canadian authorities had signed an agreement that would pave the way to using each other’s militaries on both sides of the border “during an emergency”.

** LEAKS INSPIRE GAO REVIEW OF "CLASSIFICATION INFLATION"
** WHEN CAN THE MILITARY SUPPORT CIVIL AUTHORITIES?
LEAKS INSPIRE GAO REVIEW OF "CLASSIFICATION INFLATION"
"The recent disclosure of classified information regarding U.S. national
security programs requires a thorough assessment of the current
classification system," wrote Rep. Duncan Hunter in a letter to the
Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress.
http://www.fas.org/sgp/gao/hunter-roby.pdf
The leaks by Edward Snowden, in other words, are a sign that there are
serious problems in government secrecy policy.
In his June 19, 2013 letter, Rep. Hunter asked GAO to perform the desired
assessment, and his request was endorsed by Rep. Martha Roby, chair of the
House Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Oversight and
Investigations. In a July 30 reply, GAO accepted the request and said it
would "begin the work shortly."
http://www.fas.org/sgp/gao/gao-hunter.pdf
For Rep. Hunter, the starting point is a concern that unnecessary secrecy
may put legitimate secrets at risk. Overclassification is bad security
policy.
"With access to classified information contingent on the issuance of
security clearances, overclassification stands to dangerously expand access
to material that should ordinarily be limited," he wrote. He therefore
posed a series of questions that cover a range of classification policy
issues.
He asked GAO to determine "the degree to which material is classified that
does not materially impact national security." This is one definition of
overclassification, though it is not one that is used or recognized by the
executive branch.
Under the executive order on classification, a national security secret
need not "materially impact national security." It is enough if its
unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause damage to
national security in the judgment of a person who is authorized to
classify. If the authorized classifier's judgment reflects bias, inertia,
erroneous or incomplete information-- well, the executive order has nothing
to say about that.
The result, Rep. Hunter said in a news release, is that "There's real
classification inflation going on, putting information that should be
available to the public out of view and creating a degree of exposure by
widening access to sensitive information that should be limited."
Rep. Hunter also asked GAO to review "the degree to which material is
classified in excess of current security procedures," which is another form
of overclassification. It refers to information that is be classified Top
Secret when it should only be classified Secret, for example.
Rep. Hunter asked "Whether narrowing classification requirements would
reduce the need for nearly 5 million individuals to hold security
clearances, and whether reducing that number would limit security
disclosures."
It stands to reason that less classification would likely entail the need
for fewer clearances and that a leaner secrecy and security system would be
easier to manage with improved quality control. But there is no particular
reason to suppose that the number of leakers is directly proportional to
the number of clearances.
Crucially, Rep. Hunter asked GAO to investigate "if there are
accountability systems in place to review agency and employee
classification decisions to identify persistent instances of
overclassification." There aren't!
While classification guidance is supposed to be reviewed by the
classifying agency itself every five years, and there are isolated
mechanisms for challenging specific classification decisions, there is no
systemic procedure for independent review and correction of classification
judgments. There should be.
An extended argument for impartial review of classification decisions is
here:
http://www.fas.org/sgp/eprint/dynamics.pdf
For good measure, Rep. Hunter asked GAO to consider "the degree to which
excessive classification harms information sharing" and "the effectiveness
of the process to declassify information."
Though his request letter was broadly framed with respect to
classification policy generally, it appears that the GAO response will
focus on classification activity within the Department of Defense. Rep.
Hunter is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and Rep. Roby is a
HASC subcommittee chair, and so DoD secrecy policy is clearly within their
jurisdiction.
The unauthorized disclosures of classified information by Edward Snowden
have presented numerous important issues of public policy. Is bulk
collection of telephone and email records an acceptable practice, or should
it be categorically proscribed? How did congressional oversight fail to
accurately gauge and to effectively represent conflicted public sentiment
concerning domestic surveillance? What is to be done with the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court?
But Rep. Hunter identified secrecy policy as a deeper systemic problem
that also requires a constructive response. With the GAO's new engagement,
and with the ongoing work of agency Inspectors General under the Reducing
Over-classification Act, secrecy policy is now receiving some long overdue
attention that may yet yield corrective action.
http://blogs.fas.org/secrecy/2013/07/ig-reviews-due/
The pending GAO review of secrecy policy was previously reported in
"Manning, Snowden Trigger First-of-its-Kind Secrecy Review" by Shane
Harris, Foreign Policy, July 31; "'Classification inflation' at Pentagon
under investigation: GAO" by Shaun Waterman, Washington Times, July 31; "Too many classified papers at Pentagon? Time for a secrecy audit" by Anna
Mulrine, Christian Science Monitor, August 2.
WHEN CAN THE MILITARY SUPPORT CIVIL AUTHORITIES?
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 generally prohibits military forces from
performing ordinary civilian law enforcement functions such as arrest,
surveillance, interdiction, search and seizure.
But a newly updated Department of Defense doctrinal publication notes
that, despite this prohibition, "There are several forms of direct
assistance to civilian law enforcement by military personnel that are
permitted under the Military Purpose Doctrine. The Military Purpose
Doctrine provides that law enforcement actions that are performed primarily
for a military purpose, even when incidentally assisting civil authorities,
will not violate the PCA [Posse Comitatus Act]."
These may include investigations related to the Uniform Code of Military
Justice, enforcement actions on a military installation, and measures to
protect classified military information or equipment, among others
identified by the DoD document.
The publication broadly addresses crisis response, support to law
enforcement, and other forms of assistance. See "Defense Support of Civil
Authorities," Joint Publication 3-28, July 31, 2013:
http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp3_28.pdf
The publication introduces a new addition to the DoD lexicon: "complex
catastrophe."
A complex catastrophe (which may "magnify requirements for defense support
of civil authorities") is defined as: "Any natural or man-made incident,
including cyberspace attack, power grid failure, and terrorism, which
results in cascading failures of multiple, interdependent, critical,
life-sustaining infrastructure sectors and causes extraordinary levels of
mass casualties, damage or disruption severely affecting the population,
environment, economy, public health, national morale, response efforts,
and/or government functions."

The "complex catastrophe" definition is interesting. First off it essentially defines the use of military in defense capacity not offense capacity, and only AFTER the catastrophe has occurred. The items listed could fit in the event of unambiguous contact. But it also covers the proposed cyclic cataclysm in that it mentions power grid failure. It also defines the use of them in the event of cascading failures of "life sustaining" infrastructure caused by any of the suggested events.
This declaration of definition is clearly distinct from how governmental organizations such as DHS are currently proposing and using militarized police action.
Is this a subtle example of more in the distancing of the military in their policies from the corruption gripping the federal government?

Earth’s Magnetic Field Going Crazy, Again!? (Video Report)
Sunday, August 11, 2013 9:03
(Before It's News)
The Earth’s magnetic field is going crazy, once again, as shared in the video below. Strangely enough, the videographer believes that a perceived ‘reversal of solar wind’ is ACTUALLY a ‘second solar wind’ and comes to a conclusion that it’s actually from a ‘second star’. I’m no expert in space; what do you think? From the videographer.:
The Apparent reversal of solar wind is actually a second solar wind. This is a 2D simulation and wind that is moving away from point of view may actually show up as a reversal. The arrows on simulation indicate wind speed so reversals with long arrows could be very close to a reversal. Since solar wind cannot reverse the only conclusion one can draw is that we are seeing a second wind from a second star.
