The fallout is still being heard as Simon Cowell shakes up the casting of The X-Factor. Cowell was very disappointed that his singing- reality show never lived up to expectations, and this week he fired the host Steve Jones, Nicole Scherzinger and his buddy, Paula Abdul. Simon is only bringing back Record Exec L.A. Reid. Cowell said his show was going to be groundbreaking but in the end The X-Factor turned out just like the other singing reality shows. Cowell even toned down his act. He was known as “Mr. Mean” on American Idol, but on his own show, he was very nice. What will Cowell do? Will he hire Mariah Carey as a judge on the show? She would definitely bring the crazy. With so many singing reality shows, how can X-Factor stand out? We will soon find out.
Apartheid is dead, Nelson Mandela is free, and now South Africa houses luxury resorts where they host people of all races including Atlanta’s Housewives (You can call them “Real,” we will not). The only color that seems to matter is green. But, just when we thought that was true, an interracial poster pops up and South Africans begin to show their true colors.
According to the Washington Post, the student division of the Democratic Alliance put the poster together depicting a relationship between a black woman and a white man–who appear to be nude– gazing lovingly in one another’s eyes. Tempers flared amongst politicians and the media is on fire with what has become a controversial poster.
One went as far as to call it an “abomination.” It appears South Africa hasn’t grown up as much as some thought it had. The Provincial Secretary for the Congress of South African Trade Unions, Zet Luzipo said:
“The poster says, ‘Join the DA to have an affair with a white person It entrenches the white supremacy that we fought against during the liberation struggle. We will not be excited with having an affair with a white person; we will not be enticed by that.”
That’s just one of the negative depictions of the campaign. There are positive supporters as well. One took to their Facebook page saying:
Love the DA! This campaign image is exactly what South Africa needs, now all the irrelevant racist “boers” can F off to their tiny irrelevant parties and the rest of us can stand together as one post-apartheid nation where race, religion or sexual preference doesn’t mean anything, we’re all human! Go DA! You have my vote.
Maybe South Africa will join the rest of the world and grow up. The poster just shows two people that are happy with one another.

The Galactic Council (GC) sends greetings and wonderment to you, our Earth friends. This is a general message for all who are prepared to hear.
There is indeed a shift occurring and no one is immune. The truth of our world is upon us. Energetic transformation is the end-game of which we speak. Raising your energetic vibration is your only job. This is accomplished by being where you are and doing what you do in each moment of right now. Service to your environment is service to you. Always in service according to your highest good.
Becoming one with the truth of each moment eliminates fear and loss. Once we choose to experience each moment as its own complete truth, it becomes simple and pleasurable to tell a better story about how you got there and where you are headed. This is the process of creation in action… through you, by you, for you. Becoming one with each moment is the purpose of meditation. Becoming one with each moment is the result of active wonderment. Questioning thru active wonderment is the technology that dissolves all fear, lack and distraction.
Harmonic resonance is occurring throughout the entire interconnected universe. Each of us on this planet is responsible for initiating our own harmonic resonance. Energy waves are moving toward each of us as sound quickens from above the 6th dimension. Cosmic vibrations coming out of the black hole galactic center are creating dramatic variations in our experience of earth time. Gamma-rays are transforming earth’s lower base light into higher cosmic light.
We each must find a way to make these changes work for us in a positive way. Instead of relying on traditional or so-called New Age hierarchies to figure it out for us, we each hold complete personal responsibility to know what to do for ourselves and for our environment…. for All. Momma Gaia and all her dependents are built for learning and evolving. We each must re-member how to learn how to evolve. Evolution occurs in an instant for those who have re-membered how to open and learn. Those of us who are open to evolving with Gaia know how it feels to learn and evolve. This experiential evolutionary feeling is awakening our dormant DNA. This is the feeling that vibrates openness and acceptance and expression throughout the interconnected universe as the energy of love. It is the experiential evolutionary feeling that is the power of allurement that connects us to Gaia’s center and to the galactic center. Oneness is the ultimate manifestation of cosmic allurement.
Humans are the Keepers of this 3rd dimension. We are the necessary connectors between Gaia and the higher dimensions. Technologies (methods, processes, people) are currently available on earth that have proven effective to help keep you grounded with Gaia while elevating your vibration into the higher realms. Since the atomic age, the GC has increasingly sent specialist emissaries who know how to do what needs to be done. Kaleo is one of our specialists who effectively serves a particular function that has become known to others over his earth lifetime. Many other specialists are known to work effectively in seemingly obscure and out-of-the-way places all over the earth. GC emissaries know who they are. They have no question about how to do what needs to be done. GC emissaries cannot be stopped by any means known in any dimension. They are on mission-based auto-pilot, serving Gaia’s ascension as their life’s single focus.
However. Whenever. Wherever. Never stop evolving for any reason.
Never. Ever.
The war of energetic transformation is over. The Universal Brotherhood of Light, Life and Love always wins. Gaia has opened to her higher form. Earth inhabitants who open to their higher form are choosing to be winners.
You can open to higher possibility, acceptance and love….
Or you can close down with judgment, fear and co-dependence.
It is your choice. Choose wisely.
All. One. Love. Now.

There were no survivors from the crash of an Indonesian passenger aircraft into the sea with up to 27 people on board, a navy officer says.
The plane went into the sea in poor weather just short of the airstrip serving the small port town of Kaimana, in the eastern province of West Papua.
Fifteen bodies have been recovered by rescuers searching for survivors.
The Indonesian archipelago relies heavily on air transport and has one of Asia’s worst air safety records.
“I can confirm that all the passengers were killed when the plane exploded as it crashed into the sea,” the unnamed navy officer, who took part in the search and rescue operation, told ElShinta radio.
“The aircraft was smashed to pieces… We found 15 bodies floating on the water and the other passengers are trapped inside the wreckage.”
Transport ministry official Bambang Ervan told AFP news agency there were 21 passengers and six crew on board the twin turbo-prop plane, operated by Merpati Airlines, which was flying from the coastal city of Sorong.
Indonesia has seen a number of commercial airline crashes in recent years.
In 2007, the European Union banned all of Indonesia’s airlines including the national carrier Garuda.
In 2009, Garuda and three other carriers were taken off the EU’s list, but Merpati Airlines remains on it.
For all intents and purposes, the NFL lockout of players is back on.
No sooner than players had been allowed to return to their teams for workouts and meetings, a federal appeals court gave the N.F.L. a temporary delay of an injunction Friday, effectively reinstalling the lockout, at least for a few days.
The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis, in a 2-1 decision, granted the league’s request for the temporary stay until the panel of judges had time to decide on a request for a full stay that would keep the lockout in place while an appeal of the injunction players won last week that reopened the league works its way through court. That could take at least a month.
However, the granting of the temporary stay doesn’t necessarily mean the N.F.L. will get the full stay, or that it will win the appeal.
The appeals court will probably rule on the full stay early next week.
