On my blog, I like to post an eclectic mix of topics on outer space and inner spirit, depending on what pops up in the news. So I include the Creation energy teaching of Billy Meier, as well as interesting news and environmental concerns because as we know… everything is connected.
The UFO subject has gotten plenty of attention lately, and a recent documentary by J.J. Abrams featured the “I Want To Believe” poster we know from the “X-Files” TV show.
Do you think Leslie Kean, the investigative journalist who helped bring the AATIP story to the New York Times, has any clue what is staring her in the face every day in her office?
But while the ever growing population is wooed and wowed with woo-woo, there is a lurking issue all around us that doesn’t get enough attention. It is the pollution of our air, land, water, and even our bodies with chemicals, toxins, plastic, and other harmful substances.
Due to the overpopulation we need more food, more housing, more goods transported, and more energy to power our factories, vehicles, devices, and machines. Unfortunately, fossil fuels and arable land are slowly but surely disappearing. And the levels of toxic waste are increasing, because it can’t just be…swept under the rug.
Here are some of the problems highlighted by Billy Meier and the Plejaren, which have also been corroborated in the news and even in class action lawsuits:
Meier warned about this in Contacts 216, 492, 623, and elsewhere.
Meier warned about glyphosate in CR 574 and Special Bulletin 104.
Recently Ptaah also warned about the dangers of inert gasses in food packaging (CR 725):
37. “If we look at other and newer technologies that are used for food preservation, they are not yet sufficiently developed, but progress is being made in their development, such as a pressure change process in which a foodstuff is mixed with an inert gas, such as argon or nitrogen, which, however, are in no way non-toxic and not harmless, as is truthfully stated.”
In addition to food packaging, we have the fact that so called “organic food” is not necessarily free of pesticides or herbicides. This was recently discussed in a new scientific study.
Excerpt from Contact Report 647:
60. “For all BIO (BIO = German word for “organic”) believers who effectively believe that BIO products are absolutely free of toxic substances with regard to residues of herbicides and pesticides, it has to be said that they are very wrong, because BIO vegetables and BIO fruit as well as all BIO products are not completely free of toxins.
61. The total absence of toxins is therefore only an illusion, but it brings the producers of organic products more immense profits than the non-organic farmers and gardeners who use herbicides and pesticides and thus have to spend more money on the cultivation, care and harvest of their products than the organic producers, even if they have some extra work with weed killing, etc. The fact is that the organic producers are not obliged to pay for the use of herbicides and pesticides in their products.
62. They have little, much less or no such expenses and overhead, depending on their use in every respect, but they can sell their organic products at very high prices due to the fear, lack of need and ignorance of consumers, which is not possible for producers of non-BIO products and damages them.
63. It should also be said, however, that both herbicides and pesticides are dangerous toxins that are harmful and often fatal to humans, animals, livestock and all forms of life.
64. All of them are toxic as individual substances and in this way insidious pathogens of diseases and sufferings in relation to all forms of life in general, whereby dangerous efficacy is further aggravated in many cases by interactions between the different substances.
65. Effective truth is that in relation to the toxins of herbicides and pesticides, which are applied in various ways, on the one hand they are carried away by the wind and sprayed by it over hundreds of kilometers and contaminate everything that comes within the reach of the wind.
66. On the other hand, the toxins are refined by the weather conditions, the wind and the solar radiation etc. in their consistent nature, reach the atmosphere as aerosols, are driven by the winds far over the landscapes and rain down again.
67. As a result, BIO plants are inevitably affected everywhere and contaminated with the toxins of herbicides and pesticides stored in the rain.
68. However, this is not yet the whole truth, because according to our investigations and observations, which we of course also carry out for reasons of interest, various substances are often used as pesticides in organic cultivation, such as the heavy metal copper, but also sulphur, which are undoubtedly just as harmful to human health as other products that are used.
69. We have also noted that in some places in agriculture and horticulture, which are declared as organic farms, herbicides and pesticides are secretly used in small doses.”
The Plejaren also warned about another chemical pesticide I have never heard of before, Imidacloprid, in Contact Report 592…
48. “Since the use of imidacloprid since the mid-1990s, it is very clear how the insect poisons have already decimated a large part of the bee world as well as benign and useful small and micro organisms and various species of birds in a harmful way, while it is also clear that this ongoing extinction in the world of birds and in the world of good and useful life forms is solely due to the action of the poisoned insects.
49. If we look at birds alone, it is clear that they simply do not find enough food among the insects, which in principle do not need to be controlled as pests.
50. If we look at the declining bird population, we can see that it is declining by an average of 3.5 percent per year.
51. So it is clear that pesticides kill both harmful and good insects, and here I am referring in particular to neonicotinoids, which also include the poison imidacloprid.
…
67. A definitive ban on neonicotinoids is therefore absolutely essential, as the problem of species extinction can only be solved by changing the way agriculture is run.”
Rest assured, that prophecy will be fulfilled and yet another class action lawsuit will likely be filed…if we survive that long.
That contact report was from 2014, and we only heard about this in the public in February of 2021.
You’re DAMMED if you DO,
and You’re DAMMED If You Don’t
Now take a look at what the genius scientists found out about river life:
“A new study published in the journal Global Sustainability finds for the first time that over 160,000 miles of rivers are at risk of losing their free-flowing status due to the proposed construction of new hydropower dams. The total stretch of free-flowing rivers at risk is longer than six times the distance around the Earth. Iconic rivers such as the Amazon, Congo, and Salween are among those that would be severed by hydropower development.
Dams and reservoirs are the leading contributors to connectivity loss* in rivers around the world. As global leaders convene for a critical round of UN climate and biodiversity summits this fall, policymakers must consider the tradeoffs between hydropower development and maintaining healthy freshwater ecosystems.
“When it comes to river health, climate change and biodiversity loss, we can no longer afford to think of these as separate issues,” says Michele Thieme, lead freshwater scientist at World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and lead author of the study. “Rivers are powerful agents for keeping wildlife and communities healthy, especially in a warming climate, yet their ability to support life is threatened by hydropower dams in many parts of the world. The best policy solutions will be those that balance renewable energy needs with the many benefits of thriving freshwater ecosystems.”
In layman’s terms: THE FISH CAN’T SWIM UP OR DOWN THE RIVER WHEN A DAM IS IN THE WAY! And why do we need all these dams? Because we don’t have enough electricity. Haven’t these scientists heard of deep geothermal? *By the way, the term “connectivity loss” is just a fancy scientific way of saying “extinction”.
When California must choose between water for EITHER fish OR farms, but not both, WE HAVE A PROBLEM
“Delta smelt populations have been declining for decades due to invasive predators, pollution, habitat loss and increased water exports to farms and cities. The drought has worsened conditions by reducing freshwater flows and raising water temperatures.
The government regularly cuts water exports from the delta to protect the smelt and other threatened fish from being sucked into the giant pumps that send water south.
Scientists and environmentalists say the sensitive fish needs protection because it’s a key indicator of the delta’s health, but farmers say too much precious water has been wasted on the fish – water that could be used to grow crops and fill reservoirs.”

So smart scientists, how well are your hydropower plants going to work when the water runs out?
Are We Blind?
Of course, this is due to the overpopulation, overfishing, pollution, droughts, forest fires (including arson), overfarming, pesticides, herbicides, microplastics, and over the top everything else. Is everything humans touch corrupted? Are we exposed to dangers everywhere we look? The air is polluted. The land is polluted. The water is polluted. Even artificial LED lighting is harmful to us!
(See Contact Reports 716 and 731)
Which is why in all of the FIGU skype groups you now see the FIGUANS including myself, Mikael, Mark, Michael, Nathanael, and others all wearing orange tinted blue light blocking sunglasses:
These are only a few items out of many that I highlighted. But what can we do? I suppose the answer has to do with “less is more’. A simple life, closely connected to nature. Even Billy Meier’s property will be subject to climate change in the future, and Quetzal has implemented a natural restoration and reclamation of the Center’s meadow, which restricts cutting and the use of heavy machinery from the middle of March to August, so that birds and animals can nest and breed in the tall grasses, and so that seeds can mature, fall to the ground, and replenish the earth.
I hope the readers here become aware of these dangers and reduce the use of cleaning chemicals in their household. They should be extremely cautious with any product that they put on or in their body. Perhaps pay attention to buying more organic foods when possible, but also realize nothing is perfect. Keep it simple, reconnect with nature, live a natural life, and have a natural death and burial. (NO CREMATION!)
The newly translated book “About the Fluidal Energy resp. Fluidal Powers and Other Things” pointed out that cremation of a body destroys the means for necessary back connections to previous lives, which is extremely important for the evolution of our consciousness. But then again we are running out of space for natural burials because of overpopulation.
Please share important information with your friends… whether it is about sunscreen, N95 masks, or the immune system, LED lights, electrosmog, RoundUp, hair dyes, or other chemicals.
You don’t have to say where you got the information from, but you should speak up to your network or circle of people. If you don’t want to be ostracized by your friends, consider joining Quora, where millions of people are asking the questions that we have the answers to. Michael Horn has done an absolutely tremendous amount of work, but he can’t and shouldn’t do this alone.
Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide belonging to a class of chemicals called the neonicotinoids which act on the central nervous system of insects.

Just a couple of houses in the neighborhood in the 1980s. Now our locality in Chennai is packed with 3 storey apartments.In land area ,where 4 to 5 people should live ,there are 40 people.!.Detergents and dishwashing chemicals have polluted ground water in just 10 yrs.Exhausts from vehicles. Mosquito sprays are a must lest we face bigger dangers from dengue ,chickengunea ,zika ,swine flu malaria etc..Burning dried neem leaves was tried for a while as mosquito repellent but that is too much work. Even with no major industries near by ,it is bad enough.With covid now bleach and sanitizers.

“How DARE you?!?”
The bird population is dire in the South of England. The weekly packet of bird seeds, now lasts a month or so. There were a few during early summer, but in November, I’ve seen a Robin and another small bird as they garden hop for food. Pigeons, as with Seagulls, are rather tatty looking around the neck.
The lack of pollinators this year explained the long flowering period as temperatures rocketed skywards.
Many Annual plants seem to turning into perennial plants, lasting 3 to 4 years in small walled gardens.
Yucca plants are flowering again (4th time) as we approach winter? And some summer bulbs will again flower over December, unless uk has a descent winter and some real frost. But basically the weather is all over the place. An it seems more dusty in general.And as in previous years there will be the odd Bumble bee flying around.
So may I be the first one to congratulate the British ..err… empire for well and truly screwing up the planet.
Not only the industrial revolution, but start with Queen Elizabeth I and her cronies, building all those war ships and playing pirates of the Caribbean. Then of course we can see the same with other empires, going back to the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and many other empires before them; building all those war ships. How many trees were killed off for all these ships to be built?

Lake Urmia, Iran
With six dams capturing a majority of water from 11 rivers that once fed the salt lake, Lake Urmia in northern Iran is evolving from a luxury vacation destination into a cracked salt bed.
As big as 2,000 square miles, the lake was once among the largest in the Middle East.
Today, it covers just less than 40 percent of that area.

Poyang Lake, China (Three Gorges Dam). Those dam Dams again.
China’s Lake Poyang the country’s largest freshwater lake.
In January 2014, it receded so far to reveal an ancient stone bridge that had been submerged for 400 years. country’s worst droughts record low of 7.95 meters (about 28 feet)
Local authorities at that time even went to the extreme measure of air-dropping millet, corn, and shrimp for the hundreds of thousands of migratory birds that feed at Poyang.
Damming the lake, which is situated in the middle of the Yangtze River, has been proposed to restore lake levels for both economic and ecological benefits—but no imminent plans are in place, as the effects of the drought are forgotten during the wet season.

Lake Chapala, Mexico
The fate of Mexico’s largest lake, Chapala, is not good.
Historically averaging about 700 square miles in surface area, Chapala experienced its first major crisis in 1955.
A combination of drought and diversion saw the water level dip, enough to wreak havoc on hydraulic electricity generation for the town of Guadalajara.
Although the lake rebounded throughout the later part of the century, by 2001 more than 25 percent of the lake’s surface area had disappeared.

Great Lakes, USA/Canada
The Great Lakes reached their lowest levels in recorded history in 2013.
The main culprit for the receding lake level is the St. Clair River, a waterway that has been widened and deepened numerous times in the last century to provide a shipping channel between the upper and lower Great Lakes.
The cumulative effect of human engineering and mother nature’s power is an oversized drain spout at the bottom of Huron.
Humans have devastating effects on large lakes.

More suffering for the wildlife on this planet, Sri Lankan elephants feeding in garbage dumps.
About 210 kilometres (130 miles) east of Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo, 20 elephants have died in the past eight years after eating plastic waste, according to local vets.
In Pallakkadu village in Ampara district, the open dump is their last resort for food.
According to the authorities, there are 54 dumpsites in the country’s wildlife areas, and about 300 elephants roam around them.
The Pallakkadu village waste management site was set up in 2008 with the help of the European Union.
Rubbish collected from nine neighboring villages is dumped there but not recycled.
In 2014, the electric fence protecting the site was struck by lightning and the authorities never repaired it, allowing elephants to enter and roam the dump.

Human impacts, specifically entanglements in fixed fishing gear and vessel strikes from ship traffic remain the biggest threats to the survival of this species.

Microplastics partly caused by paint:
https://www.trillions.biz/news-article/173001-af01878a18ae35b69ccd0bb39ba75d46d3c741242353dce9065bfe00b1fb247e-Paints_Are_Responsible_for_Over_Half_All_Microplastic_Pollution_in_the_Ocean.html
Six Hundred and Thirty-seventh ContactSechshundertsiebenunddreissigster KontaktTuesday, 8th December 2015, 22:34 hrs
Microplasty is found as tiny particles not only in the stomachs of shellfish, but it also accumulates in their tissues and body fluids. The consequences of this over a longer period of time are obvious. It is also certain that with microplastics the other pollutants contained in the plastic, such as plasticizers and solvents, are distributed much more strongly and also impregnate the water. Some of these substances have a hormonal effect, which means that male fish already suffer from increased infertility and hermaphroditis. To top it all off, not only do these pollutants, which are already contained in plastic, contribute to the poisoning of marine life, but also many other waste substances, such as the fact that plastic in the sea acts like a magnet that absorbs and absorbs water-repellent chemicals. Sea creatures are poisoned with plastic waste, but many have already died and continue to die from other toxic substances. In some marine areas, six times more plastic parts swim than plankton, so many sea dwellers eat the plastic. Turtles, for example, hold plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them as well as seabirds that swallow smaller plastic parts floating on the surface. One of the consequences of this is intestinal obstruction, which leads to death. Very many waterfowl strangle themselves if they use plastic cords with the nest-construction. Other marine creatures, on the other hand, end up in so-called six-pack rings or in lost fishing nets, which are known as ghost nets.

Microplastics in Seafood and the Implications for Human Health
“Human activity has led to microplastic contamination throughout the marine environment. As a result of widespread contamination, microplastics are ingested by many species of wildlife including fish and shellfish. Because microplastics are associated with chemicals from manufacturing and that sorb from the surrounding environment, there is concern regarding physical and chemical toxicity. Evidence regarding microplastic toxicity and epidemiology is emerging. We characterize current knowledge and highlight gaps. We also recommend mitigation and adaptation strategies targeting the life cycle of microplastics and recommend future research to assess impacts of microplastics on humans. Addressing these research gaps is a critical priority due to the nutritional importance of seafood consumption.”
Based on the provided web search results, it is clear that plastic breakdown, also known as photo-degradation, is a process by which larger pieces of plastic in the sea or on land gradually break down into smaller pieces due to exposure to environmental factors such as sunlight, oxidation, friction, and animal nibbling. This process can take hundreds or thousands of years to complete, and the resulting microplastics can have negative impacts on the environment and marine life.
It is not clear from the provided web search results how to make an estimate of the human consumption of seafood that is contaminated with microplastics. However, it is known that microplastics can be ingested by a wide range of marine organisms, including fish and shellfish, and can make their way into the food chain. Studies have shown that microplastics can be found in seafood products such as fish, shellfish, and sea salt, and there is concern that consuming these products may pose a risk to human health.
It is important to note that more research is needed to understand the potential human health impacts of microplastic contamination in seafood and to develop methods for measuring and reducing human exposure to these contaminants. Additionally, it is important to take steps to reduce the amount of plastic waste entering the environment in the first place. This can include reducing the use of single-use plastic products, increasing recycling and proper disposal of plastic waste, and supporting research and development of new, more sustainable materials.
This just came out today.
