ACTION 1/10:

al-Qaeda = CIA

When you read a story in The New York Times or hear a report on CNN attributing 9/11 to al-Qaeda, instead say/think “CIA.”

Notice how this simple mind game reflects and counters the psychological conditioning of the unwavering government/media narrative foisted on the world within a half hour of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center.

This action is inspired by Lori Price, editor of the Center for Legitimate Government’s news digest CLG News. After the phrase “al Qaeda” in a news story, she writes: {al-CIAduh}.

Try the simple tactic saying/thinking “CIA” whenever you see/hear a news source attributing a terrorist attack to  al-Qaeda. It’s your personal psych-op, opening — rather than closing — the mind to veracity.

TALK OF 9/11 AND THE CIA

* Bob McIlvaine’s son Bobby, 26, a Princeton University graduate and talented writer, died in the lobby of the World Trade Center on 9/11. After witnessing the sham 9/11 Commission hearings, Bob has dedicated his life to “solving my son’s murder.” In an interview Cindy Sheehan, another parent whose son died because of the events of 9/11, Bob shares his feelings and his findings on the role of the CIA in the events that killed his son. This interview, Remembering the Tragedy, aired on CindySheehansSoapbox #70, September 5, 2010,  for the 9^th anniversary.

* Paul Craig Roberts, a top official in the Reagan administration and the former editor of the Wall Street Journal, dissects the role of the CIA in the events of 9/11 and its relationship to the mainstream media, especially the bastion of political publications, The Washington Post, in a wide-ranging June, 2011 interview with Boiling Frogs co-hosts Sibel Edmonds and Peter B. Collins.

These letters flitted across my dream screen in October, 2001, a month after 9/11, while I was investigating and writing about oil at the heart of 9/11 and the U.S. attack on Afghanistan.

In POLITICAL DIARY, the digital publication I founded in the aftermath of the 2000 presidential elections to wake journalists, politicians, and citizens to the truth-telling power of dreams, I penned (PD #5 — The Complicity Connection/From the Editor) about the dream clue:

“I expected to write a story detailing the role the Central Intelligence Agency played in Afghanistan since 1979: how this shadow government operating at the behest of elected presidents {and their corporate masters} implemented U.S. geopolitical interests—training rebels, nurturing Islamic fundamentalists notably Osama bin Laden, and creating the Taliban to do the bidding for UNOCAL so the U.S. oil company could build a $2-billion dollar pipeline through Afghanistan to the huge markets of Asia.”

Discovering  a covert action arm of the CIA was eye-opening for this reporter, schooled in social welfare reporting. Discovering there was more to CIA operations than intelligence gathering and spying was a big step in my awakening to Deep Politics.

Still, after nearly a decade as a political reporter in Washington, D.C. followed by more than a dozen years calling on dream guidance in all phases of my life, I sidestepped the message of the three letter dream — a certain clue to the Who of the five W’s a journalist seeks to answer in any story.

Denial — or perhaps healthy caution — spread through mind and writing. In PD #5 Editor’s Letter, I made a U-turn, back to the secure, safe perch of a month earlier:

“We (a human rights activist and I) had met at a Media Alliance event about Afghanistan a week after 9/11 and I decided to investigate. However, I admit I thought it preposterous the U.S. — the Bush Administration and/or the CIA — had foreknowledge of or involvement in the events of September 11.

“I would look into the oil connections and Bush family and associates financial dealings. I would, I thought to myself, sidestep the Complicity Connection and let {him) investigate that piece of the pie.”

In PD #5, I wrote 8,000 words debunking the mainstream media mantra about the bumbling intelligence agencies, asking, “What did the CIA know and when did it know it.”

The lengthy exploration did contain a few nuggets:

– A half dozen top CIA operatives from the Reagan-Bush and Bush 1 administrations held key posts for Central Asia in the Bush 2 State Department.

Bush’s team in the State Department are “the very same individuals who indoctrinated Osama bin Laden under the Administration of his father {a one-time CIA director},” wrote Yoichi Clark Shimatsu, former general editor of The Japan Times Weekly in a September 20, 2011 article.

– The importance of the UNOCAL pipeline. (I discovered later its partner was Enron, whose financial fortunes. I would conclude, were linked to the pipeline.)

–The decades-long working triangle of the U.S.-Pakistani-Saudi Arabia intelligence agencies, creators of the “enemy” blamed for 9/11.

– A recitation of U.S. planned or executed false flag operations, including Operation Northwoods, eerily like what occurred on 9/11.

I also urged an independent Citizen’s Commission to investigate 9/11. Yet, the question I proposed for its investigation mirrored the media/congressional line: What did the CIA knew and when.

Perhaps, the U-turn was justified caution rather than real-time fear. After all, as a political reporter in the nation’s capital, I covered domestic matters, not foreign policy. And then, until the 2000 presidential election and illuminating dreams predicting the recount results, I wrote about metaphysical matters.

So, perhaps, hesitancy was smart and professional.

By Spring, 2002 intuitive and investigative ducks lined up.

The post-9/11 dreams about oil and the CIA awakened me and permitted journalistic consideration of an alternative story-line to the government/media mantra 9/11 was a terrorist attack by a previously unnamed group of Islamic fundamentalists called al-Qaeda.

Dream accounts of 9/11 and other political events  wake us to reality and response commemorating this 10th anniversary of 9/11.

DREAM VERITAS! From Tragedy to Transformation, a multimedia presentation and exhibition, will occur in 10 cities worldwide during the 10th anniversary year. Ten political actions derived from dream guidance will instigate desperately needed political change. The   Fall/September 2011 issue of Plum Dreams Journal launches the year-long effort. with a bold 9/11 expose from an Inside Source.

A project of Plum Dreams Media, DREAM VERITAS profiles ten powerful women activists and artists with little known stories of evoking dreams to guide, reveal, and heal personal trauma and create social change:

Abolitionist Harriet Tubman, German student resistance fighter Sophie Scholl, 9/11 widow Ellen Mariani, graphic designer Sandra Taylor, 9/11  justice advocate Lynn Pentz, anti-war painter and poet Claudia Chapline,  peace activist Cindy Sheehan, Iraqi American artist Vian Sora, collage artist Marsha Connell, and journalist Joyce Lynn.

Other dreamers reveal political truths, upending government and corporate controlled media propaganda. Their stories show once inner wisdom is tapped denial is impossible and directed action manifests.

Political journalist Joyce Lynn, VERITAS organizer, has called on dreams to report the news since the 2000 U.S. presidential election when dreams revealed the recount results more accurately than any news pundit. As a result, context and depth missing when she was a reporter in Washington, D.C. permeate her stories now. Soon after 9/11, she reported the tragedy was “about oil” and a CIA-fueled false flag operation. Based on dream guidance, she has also written about the Bush administration’s lies about biological weapons in Iraq and the rising tide of fascism in the U.S. since 9/11.

Like surrealism, the political-art movement spawned to oppose totalitarian in the aftermath of the horrors of World War 1, VERITAS, relies on the power of dreaming. Moving beyond the confines of dreams in psychotherapy or New Age paradigms, VERITAS revives sacred dreaming, the studded amulet of ancient cultures, making it fashionable once again. Dreams, the voice of the Inner Self, a natural instrument on our healing journey, hold the possibility of world-wide transformation.

The accounts in DREAM VERITAS are told by text, dialogue, and images in collage, photo-realism, prints, paintings, and installations created by internationally renowned artists from their dreams or the dreams of others.

This army of women dreamers and their dream accounts wake us to the profound power of remembering, understanding, and listening to our dreams.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the Old Testament, God spoke through dreams in both plain words and symbols. A famous political prophecy is the dream of the Egyptian Pharaoh (Genesis: 30-46): “In my dream, I stood upon the banks of a river. There stood seven fat cows. As I looked, lo! there came from out of the river, seven lean cows, and before my very eyes, they swallowed the seven fat cows, but remained as lean as before. And, then I saw seven empty ears of corn swallow seven full ears of corn, but remain just as thin as ever.”

Joseph, who became Pharaoh’s chief governor, interpreted the dream as seven years of plenty and seven of famine; he proscribed a public policy of storing food during the seven abundant years to prevent starvation during the next seven years of lack. His assessment saved the nation.

Wise Ways

In the Bible’s Book of Daniel, a dream in the second year of his reign troubled Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, famous for the magnificent gardens hanging outside his palace. He saw a gigantic statue “with the head of gold, breast and arms of silver; thighs and belly of brass, and legs of iron. The feet and toes were a mixture of iron and clay. “

Filled with hubris, Nebuchadnezzar commanded the people to worship a golden idol he commissioned. In a lesson for leaders with designs of empire, Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom crumbled and the king descended into madness.

Eventually, the King listened to the wisdom of Daniel, his court adviser, and changed his ways. After seven years, Nebuchadnezzar’s sanity returned and “the honor and glory he once possessed were restored to him.”

Around the age of 40, Muhammad, who would become a prophet and the founder of Islam, was meditating in a cave near Mecca. The angel Gabriel appeared in a dream and said, “O Muhammad, you are the messenger of Allah.” Over 23 years, in dreams and visions, Gabriel revealed to Muhammad the Qu’ran, the book of divine guidance for Muslims.

Common Sense

Ancient Greek philosopher Plato and Roman philosopher Cicero explored the ideal commonwealth in their writings. Their treatises sought to instill a desire to lead an upright, law- abiding life. Plato’s Myth of Er in his Republic and Cicero’s Dream of Scipio from De re publica are valued vehicles. Departed souls, sometimes in dreams, revealed the essence of statesmen-like virtues.

In Commentary on the Dream of Scipio, Macrobius interweaves philosophical discourse with narratives of visions and dreams. His discussion of types of dreams and their prophetic significance (derived from Artemidorus’ Onirocriticon) was one of the leading dream books of — and from — the Middle Ages.

The words of Scipio’s grandfather to Scipio Aemilianus, a philosopher and man of public affairs, in the younger’s dream ring loud in a strife torn world today. The elder suggests what is incumbent upon leaders and upon us, the citizenry:

That you may be more zealous in safeguarding the commonwealth, Scipio, be persuaded of this: all those who have saved, aided, or enlarged the commonwealth have a definite place marked off in the heavens where they may enjoy a blessed existence forever.

Nothing that occurs on earth, indeed, is more gratifying to that supreme God who rules the whole universe than the establishment of associations and federations of men bound together by principles of justice, which are called commonwealths. The governors and protectors of these proceed from here and return hither after death.

In his commentary on Scipio’s dream, Macrobius expounded: “Virtues alone make one blessed and only through them is one able to attain the name.”

Obedience to the virtues — prudence, temperance, courage, and justice — benefits the commonwealth.

Winning

Dreams have also guided generals and commanders in battle.

In 49 B.C., the night before Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River to lead his troops into Rome, he dreamed of sleeping with his mother. Caesar conquered Rome, the mother city. Before his defeat at the battle of Waterloo in June 1815, military and political leader Napoleon Bonaparte dreamed of a black cat. The battle ended Napoleon’s rule as the French emperor and Waterloo became synonymous with career-ending defeat. Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian statesman and first chancellor of the German empire (1871-1890) was so proud a dream guided him to victory over Austria he described the premonition in detail his book Thoughts and Memories.

Dream allusions are unusual in biographies of powerful contemporary political figures. It is noteworthy, therefore, an index entry in Doris Kearns Goodwin’s biography of Lyndon Johnson reads “dreams and nightmares — during illness, as President, as Vice President, see also analytic insights” and more than a dozen pages of narrative text explore his dreams.

On March 31, 1968, two months after North Vietnam launched the massive Tet Offensive and faced with a divisive battle for the Democratic nomination, Johnson announced in a televised address to the nation he would not seek reelection.

Johnson’s decision came after a dream, according to historian Goodwin. In her biography, Lyndon Johnson and The American Dream (Harper and Row, 1976), she described the dream:

“He saw himself swimming in a river. He was swimming from the center toward one shore. He swam and swam, but he never seemed to get any closer. He turned around to swim to the other shore, but again he got nowhere. He was simply going round and round in circles.”

He realized “the impossibility of his situation.”

Learning

Around the time President Obama was considering the mission, strategy and tactics, and troop levels in Afghanistan in summer 2010, journalist and commentator Bill Moyers, remembered his dream a year before Obama came into office.

He told the dream on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher August 28, 2010:

“The generals are asking for another 20, maybe 30,000 troops, and when I saw that request the other day saying what we have (in Afghanistan) is not enough I was back in the cabinet room of the (Johnson) White House sitting behind the president, who was talking to his military advisors, and they were spread out around the table. And, this was in the dream, seriously. He asked the military advisors and his national security advisors how many troops should I send: 40,000? And, a voice in the back of the room said, ‘Not enough.’ 80,000? A voice from over there said, ‘Not enough.’ 120,000? A voice from over there said, ‘Not enough.’

“The military and the hawks in the administration will always say ‘not enough,’” explained Moyers, who served in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, including two years as Johnson’s press secretary.

Analysts, generals, and pundits have likened the now nearly ten-year U.S. conflagration in Afghanistan to the decade plus U.S. involvement in Vietnam. After more than a dozen years, billions of dollars, and the death of more than five million Vietnamese, Laotians, and Cambodians and 60,000 Americans, the U.S. pulled out of the quagmire and death pit of its own making in Southeast Asia in 1975.

As a candidate for president, Barack  Obama pledged to make Afghanistan, which G.W. Bush attacked in October 2001 in the aftermath of 9/11, the home front of the so-called war on terrorism. As president, before his summer, 2010 reassessment, Obama had approved a 34,000-troop increase, making the troop level twice the number as when Bush left office. Ignoring Moyers’ dream guidance, after his summer analysis, Obama added even more troops to the deepening bloody mess of the U.S. making in Afghanistan and Central Asia.

Back in the (biblical) day, Daniel explained the power of dreams to King Nebuchadnezzar like this: “Your majesty, … there is a God in heaven who is able to reveal all hidden things, and He has done this for you so that you may know what future events are going to take place during your lifetime and beyond.”

He added: “God has made these events known to you so that you may know in advance His plan that will surely come to pass.”

Whether dreams are heaven sent or a message from self to Self, they impart a picture of reality. As these “war” stories show, dreams help us see clearly, revealing what is hidden. Beyond psychological percepts or random firings of the brain, dreams offer messages of guidance and insight – a snapshot of a moment, a vision of the big story.

We would do well and be well to listen.

Igneous Formed Dreams
c Janis Kirstein

There was another bad car accident. It occurred between our apartment and my husband’s deceased mother’s house. Then, I was walking out of
the pile of vehicles, and I was walking with Jesus.

by
Joyce Lynn

Elegant in an emerald green blouse, artist Janis Kirstein sat,
incongruously, in a swivel chair, before her bleak wall-sized
expressionist painting. Large swathes of black interspersed with small
patches of gray filled the canvas. Iridescent color — purples and
pinks — tinged the intersections, offering hope. The painting evokes
Robert Motherwell, the renowned New York School/Abstract Expressionist
painter. Kirstein in portraiture summons artist Frida Kahlo.

Seven more Kirstein canvases cover the walls of the main gallery. In
the back room at Zephyr Gallery, Louisville, Kentucky, the first
Friday of July 2010, Paul Klee-like drawings Kirstein created while
lying on her back, the only position she could find not unbearably
painful for her, command one wall. These pieces emerged as automatic
writing/drawing, prophetic pictographs of her journey.

Fearful she might never paint large again, Kirstein created the 5′ by 6′
“Under the Knife” paintings in two months. Those 60 days hung
suspended between a diagnosis of degenerative disk disease, the
debilitating residue of a life altering event 26 years before, and
emergency surgery scheduled for less than two weeks after the show
opened. Kirstein’s doctors told her the surgery was mandatory if she
were to ever stand or walk again.

On December 14, 1984, Kirstein and a fellow Kentucky Arts Council artist
were returning to their homes in Louisville on the Western Kentucky
Parkway when engine trouble caused them to turn back toward Benton.
Less than five minutes later, an escapee from Eddyville Prison in a
Ford Impala sedan plowed into the rear of their VW bug.

A Jaws of Life extracted Kirstein from the mangled car, which had flipped
over 16 times.

When she regained consciousness in the Benton Hospital, crushed car
metal chunks embedded in her snarled hair, Kirstein suffered memory loss.

“I forgot who lots of people were,” she remembers now.
“When someone would call, I had no idea who they were, but I could remember the feelings attached to that particular relationship, just none of the facts.”

Regaining her memory was one of many challenges facing Kirstein, so smart she read Sigmund Freud’s book on dreams when she was 12 years old.

SAVED

Dreams are also the bookends of what Kirstein calls her “walk of life.”

A few months before the accident, a Tarot reading yielded the death
card. Just as in a dream, death in a reading does not necessarily
signify death of the body; a part of the Self may be dying. Soon
afterwards, a dream reinforced the Tarot reading:

A guy with red hair on a white horse rode up to me and picked me up and delivered me to safety.

So, Kirstein believed something drastic was about to happen, but she
would be saved. Heeding the warning, she prepared for disaster. She
bought health insurance (although not enough), physically built up her
body, and said a prayer daily to the Saint Patrick Breastplate she would
survive the unknown future.

Since childhood, Kirstein has experienced premonitions. “I see things,”
she says as naturally as the sun rising every day. The seeing is different than the physical act of viewing with the eye and its retina, cornea, and lens. Rather, it is the metaphysical activity of perceiving. “To some, it seems crazy, but it is rather regular for me.”

The two plus decades after the accident were an emotional roller
coaster, sometimes studded with anger, for Kirstein. “Something was taken away,” she told me at lunch between the exhibition opening and the surgery.

Her surgery was pronounced successful within days and within a week,
she was at home, walking around her tree-shaded neighborhood.

Then, she remembered another dream in which she emerges from another car wreck, this time walking with Jesus. She would capture this spiritual aspect of her recovery in Igneous Formed Dreams, an expression of her powerful post-surgery dream and physical and emotional healing.

At first, Kirstein feared the dream foretold another car accident.
Then, she wondered if the Hollywood-like scene might reflect the
destruction in the world from war and greed. On a personal plane, was
she walking away from the destruction and disillusionment of her life
in the aftermath of the 1984 Kentucky Highway devastation, beginning
yet another recovery process?

Now, she now lives from a renewed place of forgiveness and love as she
confronts the challenges in her resurrected landscape.

During the weeks after her surgery and the walking with Jesus dream,
Kirstein began painting another series. The paintings in the series
titled Recovery are softer, the grays more glowing with larger
splashes of color. They hold remnants of the past but also offer
prayers of gratitude for the present and patches of prospects for the
future.

For Kirstein, her RECOVERY series reflects “the feeling of regaining
what I lost, a renaissance/rebirth from a near death experience.”

This image appeared on my dream screen early on Monday, December 20 (2010). I had fallen asleep listening to a replay of Ring of Fire on Green960, San Francisco’s progressive radio station.

The then co-host David Bender was interviewing Alan Grayson, voted Progressive of the Year. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Mike Papantonio are the original and ongoing hosts.

The program reminded me of the reoccurring conversation with friends, the most recent that evening, about “primarying” Barack Obama. The depth of the crisis confronting our country as President Obama aidedand abetted a Republican/corporate agenda darkened the cloud hovering over the season of light.

Obama, expanding the blood bath in the Middle East, entrenching insurance, financial, military, and other transnational business interests at the expense of our country and our humanity, depressed the joy of celebrating with family and friends.

To stop the political ruminations, I asked my dreams for guidance. Since dreams — mine and others– had accurately predicted the 2000 Presidential election and recount, explained 9/11, and graphically described the rising tide of fascism in the U.S., I turn to this Source of knowledge to substantiate political reporting and commentary.

INSIGHT, PLEASE

I asked:

Should there be a 2012 primary challenge to Barack Obama and, if so, who?

That’s when the dream messenger aka angel appeared, answering both queries
with a single image.

Associations:

A Christmas ornament with blond hair eliminates the Jewish stars most often discussed — Grayson, Sanders, Feingold, Schakowsky.

Blond hair with a wave over one eye: I think Marilyn Monroe, Madonna/a young Bette Miller. Yes, a young Marilyn Monroe.

Now the mysterious is obvious.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.!!!

Once the brilliance of the dream guidance registered, I realized I was breathing again, perhaps, for the first time in a decade! Notice how the possibility changes your entire being.

A stellar political pedigree — son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, nephew of
President John Kennedy and Sen. Edward M Kennedy. RFK Jr., 57, is a natural fighter in word and deed for civil rights, the environment, labor, consumers, peace. Political activism and leadership are
embedded in his DNA.

Kennedy is an outspoken voice for political truths few in public
service venture to tell. In Ring of Fire radio programs, essays and books, and legal cases, Kennedy reprises fascism and the Bush family; G.W. Bush and the stolen 2004 presidential election; and U.S. imperialist policy with an honest and lucid explanation of American exploits in Chile.

SUPER BOWL TEAM

A Hillary Clinton supporter in the 2008 primary, Kennedy offers real and authentic
hope for the future. Initial wanderings about a RFK Jr.
administration conjure more than a fantasy team:

Vice President: Barbara Lee (D-Ca) - Former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, is the only member of Congress to vote against authorizing the use of force in the aftermath of the 9/11
attacks, voted against the falsely named USA Patriot Act, the 2002 Iraq
War Resolution, and counting Ohio returns in the (stolen) 2004
presidential election.

Attorney General: Mike Papantonio - Plaintiff attorney for victims of
corporate crimes winning for those harmed by asbestos,
pharmaceuticals, securities fraud, and tobacco.

Health and Human Services Secretary - Former (D) Florida representative Alan Grayson.
Department of Peace Secretary - Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio)
Defense Secretary - Former (D) Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold.
Labor Secretary - Robert Reich, Clinton administration Labor secretary.

EPA -Van Jones, environmental activist; former Obama White House advisor, resigned under pressure without cause.

Treasury Secretary- Elizabeth Warren, Special Advisor to Secretary of Treasury, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Agriculture Secretary - Shirley Sherrod, former Georgia State Director of Rural Development, Department of Agriculture, forced to resign without cause by Obama administration.

Kennedy can draw on a cadre of smart, talented women in his own family
– sisters Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former lieutenant governor of Maryland, and Kerry Kennedy, founder and president of the RFK Memorial Center for Justice and Human Rights, and cousin, lawyer
Caroline Kennedy — as advisors and administrators.

WINNING

More than a single issue challenger or a relatively unknown,
RFK Jr. is a superior choice. But still, can he win? The
question filtered through the nighttime fog. Another dream,
signaling an answer, appeared on my dream screen:

A picture of a guy on a bicycle on the north east corner of Shattuck Avenue
and Center Street, the busy plaza at the downtown Berkeley
BART stop. The biker flips backwards.

Interpretation: Barack Obama playing to the center is thrown backwards. His strategy to win a second term by winning the center is a losing proposition — losing the Northeast for himself
and/or the Congressional Democrats. As Obama sabotages safety net and Democratic sacred cows like Social Security, Medicare, jobs, and privacy, an Obama 2012 reelection bid could be a throwback to Pennsylvania 2010. In the Joe Sestak (D) versus Pat Toomey (R) contest, Labor and other Democratic stalwarts disillusioned with and disenfranchised by Obama stayed home, throwing the Senate seat to the corporate-backed Republican.

The dream’s message wakes me up: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. could win!!

As the 112th Congress reconvened, a progressive radio host said
(without conviction) he still had “high hopes” Obama will become the
(FDR) president of his imagination. A Democratic advisor proffered the
change of White House staff means Obama can become his own man now.

However, the operative axiom is a favorite of Obama’s biggest fan and
supporter. As Oprah is fond of saying,”When someone shows you who they are, believe
them.” Obama has demonstrated in his political career he is about turning government over to corporations.

Unfortunately, the cost of our denial is too great.

The strategic questions answered, the overriding quandary for us is unavoidable. In the wake of “Tucson,” Kennedy, all too familiar with political assassinations, addressed the elephant in the room in a blunt commentary on the tragic consequences of right wing hate speech.

The lingering question:

In our desperate need to retreat from the brink of bankruptcy and fascism, in our longing to regain America’s morality and political democracy, dare we ask Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to do this for our country?

After interviewing Kirstein, who lives in the Cherokee Park section of Louisville, Kentucky, I  dreamt of a Jeep Cherokee. Dreams for personal growth, healing, and wisdom  are integral to Cherokee medicine  – along with plants, prayers, and ritual.

Kirstein and her neighborhood’s namesake are reminders:

Reviving the power of dreams as a spiritual, transformational vehicle outside religion or psychotherapy forms the heart of Plum Dreams Journal.

New York was burning, smoldering. I remember flying over and circling above the Statue of Liberty, looking down on it. I could read the book in her left hand. Instead of the numerals on the real statue, the word “union” was inscribed on the tablet.

WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL

by

Joyce Lynn

Editor’s Note: To date, the 9/11 Citizens’ Grand Juries are models. However, communities in the U.S. and in the 82 nations, which lost citizens on 9/11, can establish their own Town Hall meetings and elect their own Citizens’ Grand Juries. PDJ also encourages readers to listen to their dreams and consider the legal remedies they might reveal. PDJ encourages readers to listen to their dreams and consider their guidance about using your special gifts to create a more peaceful world. Let us know; we support viable peace efforts.

When Lynn Pentz dreamt this tableau, she linked it to her “hot and heavy” romantic relationship. The dream, she believed, signaled “it was time for me to move out of New York, out of the relationship.”

Lynn, life change consultant and producer of transformational entertainment events including Live Aid, Hands Across America, and the Bicentennial Celebration of the U.S. Constitution, moved to Los Angeles. There, in the aftermath of 9/11, she co-founded Los Angeles 9/11 Truth and guided it to prominence in the global 9/11 grassroots movement. A cornerstone was Lynn’s resurrecting the constitutionally guaranteed People’s Grand Jury and applying it to redress the U.S. government’s involvement in the crimes of 9/11.

Without realizing the political significance of her dream, Lynn initiated action, this time toward preserving a union, this time, the union of the United States of America.

As evidence mounted of government complicity in 9/11 and a government/media cover up with no justice for the perpetrators, Lynn and 911TruthLA.us, convened a “Citizens’ Grand Jury on the Crimes of 9/11” in 2004 and 2005.

“It is necessary to reestablish the citizens’ grand jury if the great American experiment is to survive,” Lynn believes.

At Town Hall meetings at Patriotic Hall in Los Angeles on October 23, 2004 and on August 27, 2005, experts and elected jurors formally rejected the legitimacy and conclusions of the Kean-Hamilton 9/11 Commission and declared the Official Story “physically impossible, contradictory, implausible and fraudulent.” In both cases, the jurors found “probable cause to indict” at least 20 individuals “at the highest level of the US government, military, and private enterprise.”

In June 2008, after learning how dreams fueled the activism of 9/11 family member Ellen Mariani and peace activist Cindy Sheehan, Lynn considered the smoldering New York union dream in another way.

“I’ve always been steeped in U.S. history and spiritual, but never thought of my role as political,” said Lynn, a descendent of the legislator who cast the deciding vote for Virginia’s adoption of the Bill of Rights,

The Statue of Liberty is a gift from France to the U.S., commemorating the centennial anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Modeled after Libertatus, the Roman goddess of freedom, the classically robed woman holds a lit flame in her right hand and a tablet, symbolizing knowledge, engraved with the Roman numerals for July 4, 1776, in her left hand,

One of the most famous icons in the world, the statue rising from the New York Harbor testifies to freedom from tyrannical governments.

Lynn wrote of the Citizen’s Grand Jury: it was “the Framers’ intention that We the People are the Fourth Branch of Government assured in our First Amendment right to Petition our government for Grievances and our Fifth Amendment assurance of independent Grand Jury Presentments - designed for investigations of governmental wrong doing separate from interference from federal prosecutors. ”

Supreme Court Justice Powell stated in 1974, “The institution of the grand jury is deeply rooted in Anglo-American history. In England, the grand jury served for centuries both as a body of accusers sworn to discover and present, for trial, persons suspected of criminal wrongdoing and as a protector of citizens against arbitrary and oppressive governmental action.”

In theory, the grand jury is a body of independent citizens with the power to investigate any crime or government misdeed brought to its attention. The Grand Jury can make its own presentment — a formal statement of the grand jury’s independent assumptions, fact-findings, and conclusions.

Lynn’s Statue of Liberty dream with the word “union” inscribed on the icon’s tablet embodies not only the historic founding of the Union, but also her spiritual definition of union, her logo — UNIR1 — the unification of consciousness — You and I are One.
