From Canada to the United States

[KDogRex]

This was written in a Canadian Newspaper and honestly made me cry as I read it...mostly because what was written finally appears to be coming true...thank you to every person rfom abroad who has supported us in this horrific event. I will always remember you...

This, from a Canadian newspaper, no less, is worth sharing.

well its good to hear that we're finally getting appreciated! at least, the actions of our forefathers are... but oh well, hopefully when we come out of this we'll finally get some appreciation! and we'll (try not to) rub it in the other countries' noses either!

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

Actually, I have no idea how old it is, I suspect that it predates current events byt a few years, but it bears repeating, I think. Doean't it make you feel good to hear someone from another country feeling indignant about the treatment the US gets (occaisionally {sp}) from the rest of the world?

I am typeing through tears right now! I WILL send this to the people I know. They are not outside of this country, but perhaps through them it will get there! Thank you for this post! I never knew that anyone had this opinion of America. Even Americans don't think twice of what we do for other nations and when we are attacked from all sides, actually debate if we have done something wrong. We are NOT the arrogant people we are made out to be. I have always felt we were helpful, but this stand by a Canadian touched my heart in a way I couldn't even imagine. Thank you for your post, and thank you to Gordon Sinclair!

General Woundwort's body was never found. It could be that he still lives his fierce life somewhere else. But from that day forward, mothers would tell their kittens that if they were not good, the General would get them. Such was Woundwort's monument, and perhaps it would not have displeased him.

That was a nice article KDog, thank you for posting it man!

My wife had it forwarded to her and honestly I felt it was my duty to pass it on to as many people as posible, just in case, we've felt like maybe we're on our own in this. The nations of NATO have made a stand solidly beside us, not behind us, for the first time in history and there is a solid unity on this.

...Unfortunately, this only lends creedence to Nostradamus that this is the beginning of the third and worst world war. Folks, I hope he's wrong, but he has a rather (unfortunately) impeccable track record and this could be the beginning of some very unusual and scary times. We are all in it together and I urge us all to never...EVER forget that.

...as a great literary revolutionary of the Revolutionary War said, "Gentleman, we must hang together, or most assuredly we shall hang separately!"

That's enough posturing on my part, I'm going to head to the garage and smoke another cigarette, then hit the sack. Have a night folks, You are all in my thoughts and prayers, because, I'm guessing that we all have some link to this, in one way or another...

Excelsior!!!
