As Kaliyuga expands its influence things will get worse. We can only counteract Kaliyuga in 3 ways:
Krishna-kirtan, Krishna-katha, Krishna-kichoris
Please help us do this.

One Prabhbupad disciple - Duryodhon-guru wrote a book - "The Way of Kings". Much 'when' detail therein.

"If I become sick, don't take me to any hospital; just let me die peacefully."

Why is one person born rich, another poor?
Why is one child aborted, another not?
Why is one child born healthy, another ill?
Why is one born human, another beast, another fish, yet another fowl, yet another plant?
What is wrong with pornography participants becoming trees next life so they can stand up naked in public... for hundreds of years.
What is wrong with indiscriminate eaters & sexers becoming pigs?
Pigs have sex with sister, mother, daughter.
Why did Krishna turn His head away when Bhaumasura's mother Kotara appeared naked on the battlefield?
Why can't intoxicators become ants next life so as to feel drunk on one grain of sugar?
Mother Nature fulfills our degraded material desires by simplifying our next body type.
Please type in your friend's answers.

Animal raisers, killers, meat packers will be very upset. They are attached to ugra-karma. They can't picture themselves doing pious, nonviolent work. Even the president serves his guests dead cows for dinner. Such a putrid pathetic person. Save this rascal please before yamadutas have their love feast dragging his bare behind away for good.
-
1) we have Holywood - neither Holy nor Wood, but we have it. Not exactly we, they. And as far as I'm concerned, they can keep it.
-
Yes, if you criticize certain people you are called anti-semitic. Funny how repressed Palestinians are even more 'semitic' that modern day people who emigrate to Israel claiming it THEIR homeland.
Both sides should become vegetarian & Chant Hare Krsna, otherwise - no hope.
-
Well we all get that way sooner or later. Even big, big gurus show signs of total disappointment. Either don't complain or complain to Krishna Himself. The people on this planet can't help you. They are stuck in mud just like you. Even the so-called devotees. Only God can save you. Ultimately we all must die, leave this body behind, today or tomorrow. This planet is hardly worth mentioning considering the larger picture. Corruption on all levels, specially so-called religious.
-
Most people lead lives of quiet persperation. desperation too. Circulation & body heat improve the more we do what we like (excluding nonsense) for K, gradually engaging all... as did Ambarish Maharaj.
Only eat when you are hungry. Amount: what you can digest.
-
Amazing how polygamy solves so many modern-day problems, therefore, almost everyone opposes it.
Americans like to keep their problems right where they are.
If you give a fool good advice he becomes angry.
Intelligent faithful women seek protection + 1-2 more kids.
Avoid the rest.

Not only was Degaulle, his tank warfare guru, correct.
Sisya Hitler suggested the League of Nations set up Israel on Madagascar, in which case THAT would be there own country.
Adolph predicted continuous turmoil setting up/overlapping Israel and Palestine.
Abe's half-brother sons still at it after 4,000 yrs.
When will they ever learn...
Where have all the semites gone? Long time passing?
Question: if an Israeli soldier disembowels a Palestinian, a practive still going on today, whose the anti-semite?
If Airhead Sharon is NOT the ultimate anti-semite, then let me die miserable deaths over and over again with no hope for Krishna-bhakti within my next 15 trillion births.
From this screen to Karanodakasayi Visnu's Padma-lochan Lotus Eyes.

"Rolling Stones sang "You can tell by her blood-stained hands"
Both these groups worship a confused God who (they say) says:
Thou Shalt Not Kill", then later appears to again sanction killing.
They haver never tasted Hari-prasAd: their misfortune.

SPECIAL FEATURE: GRASSROOTS INTERVIEW WITH DANIEL
ELLSBERG
In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg was working at the Defense
Department.
Recognizing that the public was being deceived about Vietnam and anticipating that
President Nixon was about to escalate the war,
Ellsberg risked imprisonment to leak
the Pentagon Papers -- 7,000 pages of top-secret
memoranda -- to the New York Times. This would ultimately force Nixon to resign rather than face impeachment.
Ellsberg's recent book, "Secrets," undermines the
naive assumption of many Americans that political leaders' inexplicable actions in times of war are
based on accurate information from reliable sources.
"Secrets" provides much needed
insight for today's situation as many question the
information President Bush
used to base his claim that Iraq possessed weapons of
mass destruction.
Daniel Ellsberg will respond to five of the top questions written by MoveOn members. Post your questions at:

------------------------------ INTRODUCTION: THE
NUCLEAR FUTURE
For years, the threat of nuclear catastrophe consumed
the energies of many
activists. Washington and Moscow both seemed willing
to risk the lives of
millions of human beings in order to maintain nuclear
superiority. And then the Cold
War ended. Once rhetoric shifted to understanding the
post-Cold War strategic environment, talk of nuclear expansion subsided. The assumption was that the weapons were no longer necessary and would be
cooperatively dismantled by the now-friendly nuclear powers. This was, after all, in
everyone's interest.
Yet de-escalation has not ruled the day. The focus has
shifted from communists to
terrorists and while there is no evidence that
terrorists have nuclear
weapons, there is evidence they are trying to procure
them. Precisely because
dismantling never occurred, Russia still possesses
nuclear weapons in great numbers, but they are now less securely protected. Once again,
nuclear weapons must be preserved as a deterrent. More frighteningly, smaller nuclear weapons must be
developed which would serve not as a deterrent, but as
a usable complement to
conventional weapons. These changes are immediate
history -- the Bush-Putin
nuclear arms treaty signed this week, the ban on
developing small nukes
lifted only last month -- and that history continues to
unfold. This week's bulletin will prepare you to participate in the history to come.
------------------------------ ONE LINK
If you read nothing else in this week's bulletin, read
this article from the Union of Concerned Scientists:
"[President Bush] should ask whether adopting a
military posture right now to
counter aggressive 'peer competitors' that might arise
in the invisible
future could create a self-fulfilling prophecy, while
also aggravating the dangers
that exist today.. He should, instead, move towards an
unambiguous and whole-hearted endorsement of the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty, and demonstrate
this commitment by asking the Senate to ratify the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty."
------------------------------ NO MORE HAWKS AND
DOVES
"Forget hawks and doves. The post-Cold War political
struggle is between
'dominators' and 'conciliators.' Right now, thanks
especially to Osama bin
Laden,
those who believe U.S. national security lies in raw
military power, not
cooperative agreements, are in control."
http://www.thebulletin.org/issues/2003/jf03/jf03krepon.html
------------------------------ REVIEWING THE NUCLEAR
POSTURE
The Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) is a military
planning document Congress
mandated in 2000. The Bush administration delivered
the NPR in 2002, but its
contents were classified. Leaked versions reveal the
NPR recommends a greater role
for nuclear weapons and missile defense. The Natural
Resources Defense Council published an analysis of the NPR called "Faking Nuclear Restraint."
http://www.nrdc.org/nuclear/restraint.asp Analysis
from the engineering organization IEEE describes how the NPR conflicts with the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Nonproliferation Treaty.
http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/resource/apr02/nuke.html
Or maybe we're just "nuclear alarmists." So say two research fellows at the National Defense University's Institute for National Strategic Studies.
http://usinfo.state.gov/topical/pol/arms/02031501.htm
------------------------------ THE DIRECTION SINCE
SEPT. 11
"While there is much the Bush administration might
have done to make nuclear
terrorism less likely, the path they have chosen
increases the risks of
nuclear terrorism. It also undermines our relationship
with countries we need in the fight against terrorism in general and nuclear terrorism in particular."
http://www.wagingpeace.org/articles/02.01/020114kriegernucpolicy.htm
------------------------------ THE BUSH-PUTIN TREATY
In 2002, President Bush met with Russian President
Vladimir Putin to
discuss
reducing deployable nuclear warheads. They drafted the
Treaty of Moscow
which
has since been ratified by the U.S. Senate and Russian
parliament. On
Sunday,
Bush and Putin signed the treaty in St. Petersburg,
bringing it into full
effect. Questions remain as to the seriousness of this
arms reduction.
This Chicago Tribune op-ed challenges Bush's claim that the
treaty will "liquidate the
legacy of the Cold War": "Moving [nuclear] weapons
from silos, where they are
extremely secure, to warehouses, where they may not
be, would be a gift to Al Qaeda and every other outlaw group that lusts after Russia's 'loose nukes.' If we want to reduce the danger, we have to persuade the Russians to destroy nuclear weapons so that no one can ever use them. But they won't do that unless we agree to do the same."
http://backfromthebrink.org/newsroom/tribunev2.html
------------------------------ MINI-NUKES
The Bush administration has lobbied for the repeal of
a 10-year ban on
research and development of "low-yield" nuclear
weapons. Opponents have
argued these
smaller nukes would blur the distinction between
nuclear and non-nuclear
weaponry, making nuclear warfare more palatable. In a
late May vote,
Senators Edward Kennedy and Dianne Feinstein were unable to
preserve the ban. On the Senate floor, Kennedy asked: "Is half a Hiroshima OK? Is a quarter Hiroshima OK?
Is a little mushroom cloud OK? That's absurd. The issue
is too important. If we build it, we'll use it."
Senator Feinstein on low-yield nuclear weapons:
"The political effects of U.S. pursuit of new nuclear
weapons could well be to legitimize nuclear weapons, and U.S. nuclear planning could serve as a pretext for other countries and, worse, terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, to build or acquire their own bombs."
http://feinstein.senate.gov/03Releases/r-arms.htm
Slate magazine on the Pentagon's Dr. Strangelove, Keith Payne, whose nuclear infatuation is now
making policy. Of nuclear war, Payne once wrote: "an
intelligent United States
offensive [nuclear] strategy, wedded to homeland
defenses, should reduce U.S.
casualties to approximately 20 million ... a level
compatible with national survival and recovery."
http://slate.msn.com/id/2082846
------------------------------ NUCLEAR
WEAPONS GO UNDERGROUND
From Popular Science magazine:
"[T]he Pentagon has begun to consider the previously
unthinkable:
developing specially designed nuclear weapons for attacking
buried caves and tunnels....
Such a move would represent the most significant
rewriting of U.S. nuclear
strategy in decades, because its intended purpose
violates the two cornerstones
of current policy: to use nuclear weapons only as a
last resort and never to
use them against non-nuclear nations."

2 yrs ago we believe we helped end a more than year long drought by continuous kirtan, bhajan & classes 4am-10pm. It began raining shortly after.
Maybe our singing was so bad demigods figured the only way to shut us up was...
In any event, even if they had not begun showering, such intense musical spiritual expression was time well-spent and fun to boot.
-
According to Veda, Purana: all can understand God save & except who?
-
Some say before Noah's flood all were vegetarian.
Those were the actual "Good Old Days"
In any case, animals today (cows, pigs, chickens) were previously human, but then they lost/forfeited their rights by killing & eating such bodies as they wear today.
"Blood Sweat & Tears" sang "Spinning Wheel & rightly so.
Groups name matches slaughterhouse supporters vikarmik rxns.
Texans kill & drill while professing Christianity.
Could anything be farther from the truth?
Such Mother Earth's blood, suck Mother Cow's blood.
"What goes around comes around" - Hare Krishna
-
"Vedik Culture was all over the world."
"Europeans come from Ksatriya stock... when Parasuram was killing the ksatriyas like anything... some fled to the European side..."
-
"Karma doesn't work; you have to push it."
Please hear, chant & read Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur's song:
anadi karama phale
Srila Prabhupad's version includes purport.
Kundali & Satya-Narayan's book "In Vaikuntha Not Even Leaves Fall" explains 'anadi' in depth.
-
You're referring of course to Sigma Alpha Rho initiates, those fraternity freaks.
Extremely puffed up. Buncha wimps.
-
According to Veda & Varnasram-dharma, such people may gamble.
It seems embarassing to see/admit:
one of our favorite devotees, Yudhisthir Maharaj gambled away everything.
It seems totally outrageous, yet nonetheless so.
-
Our 5th grade teacher told us to "read between the lines"
At that time I could not understand.
I looked between the printed lines yet saw nothing but space.
Laughable though true.
1) "Patriotism is the last resort for scoundrels" - Mark Twain.
Modern day USA harbors the least educated society of all time.
By least educated we mean most easily fooled.
2) "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American Public" - _______
-
Don't try to see God; work in such away that God will want/will come to see you."
Who's Ruroni Kenshin?
Seldom do we find our inner nature while still materially embodied/surrounded on this mundane plane. When we do we work at what we love most, making it, turning it into no work at all, but fun = play = divya-lila

Wha happa? What did Greta do? What did Greta NOT do?
Is she done? Is she done in? Done gone?
Saddam Caught!
in World Review
Posted · Report reply
Subhuman Feinberg is blocking "Wrongful Death" suits filed 12/20/01 by 2/3 of 9/11 victim's families. They have 100 pre 9/11 points at which present administration knew 9/11 would happen.
Very easy to understand why Cheney blocked 9/11 investigation. He's implicated in plan and act 108 times more than Usama.
Unfortunately, most Americans cannot believe their own government could be that corrupt.
Filing deadline www.911forthetruth.com or www.9114thetruth.com Hopefully Saddam will be allowed to speak; Noriega was not. Saddam has detailed information easily sufficient to put Chen, Rums, Reagan, Thatch, Wolfo + many others behind bars for many (not years) births to come.
SOP Standard Operating Procedures - by 9/11 8:20am FAA should've notified NORAD that 4 planes were off course, which in turn activate/scramble all East Coast Air Force jets.
That morning no helicopters were flying. Why?
9th district Congresswoman Marcie ?Capter? of Erie County says some Ohio jets were scrambled but arrived in Pennsylvania too late.
Ashcroft hasn't flown commercial aircraft since 9/11/01. Why?
CNN proved they are complicit by utilizing former NYC Mayor puppethead Kroch to point his crooked finger away from <- culpable Republicans -> toward Usama.
Chen still receives between 180k - 1,000,000/year from HALIBURTON.
Cheney still holds over $35 million in unexercized Haliburton stock options.
Cheney/Haliburton hide their investments in Cayman Islands.
Wash DC will try to keep Saddam far away from any interviewers. Like Noriega he knows too much.
Kaliyuga qualities will have no trouble spreading so long gov't leaders lie under oath.
