Paris (AFP) - Before the emergence of the new coronavirus, which has sparked worldwide panic, other epidemics had struck earlier in the 21st century, but were less deadly than the previous century's pandemics.

An overview.

21st century epidemics

2013-2016: Ebola

The deadliest epidemic of the haemorrhagic fever Ebola broke out in West Africa in December 2013 and lasted more than two years, killing more than 11,300, mainly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

First identified in 1976, Ebola is less contagious than other viral diseases, but is particularly lethal, killing around 40 percent.

The virus re-emerged in August 2018 in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo where it has so far killed more than 2,200.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says 18,500 died of so-called "Swine flu", 

or H1N1, which was first uncovered in Mexico and the United States in March

2009-2010: Swine flu

The World Health Organization (WHO) says 18,500 died of so-called "Swine flu", or H1N1, which was first uncovered in Mexico and the United States in March 2009.

The Lancet medical review, however, puts the toll at between 151,700 and 575,400.

The pandemic alert was launched on June 11, 2009 and lifted on August 10, 2010 but the virus turned out to be not as deadly as first feared.

Vaccines were rushed out, but in hindsight, the West, particularly Europe, and the WHO were criticised for overreacting at a time annual influenza epidemics every year kill between 250,000 and 500,000, according to the Geneva-based UN health agency.

2002-2003: SARS

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome first emerged in Guangdong in southern China in November 2002 before sparking a health crisis in mid-2003, in particular traumatising Asia.

It killed 774, four fifths of whom were in China and Hong Kong. It was transmitted to man from horseshoe bats, eventually spreading to around 30 countries. It had a mortality rate of 9.5 percent.

2003-2004: Bird flu

The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu killed more than 400 people, mainly in Southeast Asia, after appearing in 2003. It first ravaged poultry farms in Hong Kong, before being transmitted to humans. The WHO declared a global health emergency, but the toll remained limited.

20th century's big pandemics

1981-to date: AIDS

By far the most deadly epidemic of modern times: according to UNAIDS some 32 million people around the world have died of the disease which affects the immune system and leaves people vulnerable to opportunistic infections.

Today around 24.5 million people have access to retroviral drugs which when taken regularly efficiently stop the illness in its tracks and heavily reduce the risk of contamination.

1968-1970: The Hong Kong flu

Around one million people died of this disease, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Transmitted around the world between mid-1968 and early 1970, it in particular killed many children. It first started in Hong Kong, spread through Asia and reached the United States in late 1968. After lying low for several months it then hit Europe in late 1969.

For epidemic experts, this flu went down in history as the first of the modern era, due to the advent of high-speed air travel.

1957-1958: Asian flu

Around 1.1 million people died of Asian flu, according to the CDC.

The pandemic hit in two aggressive waves. The virus first appeared in southern China in February 1957. Several months went by before it reached America and Europe.

The disease, which results in serious lung complications, in particular affected the elderly.

Spanish flu hit the world's population in the wake of WWI, killing up to 50 million, 

according to the CDC, and is considered the most deadly in history over such 

a short period (AFP Photo)

1918-1919: Spanish flu

Spanish flu hit a large part of the world's population in the wake of World War I, killing up to 50 million people, according to the CDC.

Striking between September 1918 and April 1919, it is considered the most deadly in history over such a short period.

Five times more people died of it than did in World War I. The first victims were recorded in the United States, before it spread to Europe and then around the world.

Its mortality rate was estimated at more than 2.5 percent, according to the CDC.

Tainted Dutch eggs scandal widens across borders

eggs by fipronil, a toxic insecticide outlawed from use in the production of food (AFP

The Hague (AFP) - Supermarkets in the Netherlands and Germany moved to halt some egg sales Thursday as hundreds of thousands may have been contaminated by a toxic insecticide in a widening food scandal.

Amid fears the Dutch poultry industry could be facing millions of euros in losses, the country's biggest supermarket chain Albert Heijn said it was pulling 14 types of eggs from its shelves.

"All the eggs of these 14 kinds have been sent back to the depot and destroyed," company spokeswoman Els van Dijk told AFP.

It was "an unprecedented" situation for Albert Heijn, she added, saying instructions of the Dutch food authority (NVWA) were being followed.

Damage to Dutch poultry farms is already believed to have run into millions of euros, said Hennie de Haan, president of the National Poultry Owners union.

The NVWA was due to publish its findings later Thursday having closed 180 poultry farms across The Netherlands this week after traces of the insecticide, fipronil, was first found in samples taken from eggs, droppings and meat in late July.

Manufactured by Germany's BASF among other companies, fipronil is commonly used in veterinary products to get rid of fleas, lice and ticks.

But it is banned from being used to treat animals destined for human consumption, such as chickens.

The European Commission said it had been made aware of the egg issue, and EC spokeswoman Anna-Kaisa Itkonen told reporters developments were being monitored "very closely".

"What I can say is that the farms are identified, the eggs are blocked, the contaminated eggs are traced and withdrawn from the market, and the situation is under control."

It is believed the substance was introduced to poultry farms by a Dutch business, named Chickfriend, which was called in to treat red lice, a nasty parasite in chickens.

German Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt called a "crisis teleconference" Thursday with his counterparts in German states where fipronil was also detected in eggs.

About one million eggs being transported to Germany were also recalled from the border on Tuesday with The Netherlands, the Dutch food authority NVWA added.

Belgium's federal food chain security agency (AFSCA) said it too has launched an investigation in cooperation with prosecutors.

Tests have found fipronil in some eggs but not in quantities that pose a threat to human health. None of the eggs have made it to Belgian supermarket shelves, the Belgian authority said.

In large quantities, the substance is considered to be "moderately hazardous" according to the World Health Organisation, and can have dangerous effects on people's kidneys, liver and thyroid glands.

It is another blow for Dutch poultry farmers, some of who believe they could now be facing bankruptcy, after 190,000 ducks were culled in November due to a highly infectious strain of bird flu.

Dutch kill 190,000 ducks to contain bird flu outbreak

The Hague (AFP) - Dutch officials have culled 190,000 ducks on a central Netherlands farm where inspectors have confirmed the presence of a highly infectuous strain of bird flu, officials and local media said Sunday.

The outbreak was detected at a farm in Biddinghuizen, about 70 kilometres (43 miles) west of Amsterdam, where about 180,000 ducks were put down together with another 10,000 within a one kilometre radius, the Dutch food and safety watchdog NVWA said.

"There are three other poultry farms within a three kilometre radius and they are being monitored," the NVWA added in a statement.

Authorities have also imposed a ban on poultry and poultry product transport within a 10 kilometre radius, the statement said.

Tests indicated that the birds were killed by an H5N8 variant of the disease "which is highly infectuous" for poultry -- killing about 30 percent of infected birds -- but not "very dangerous to humans", public newscaster NOS said.

Earlier this month the Netherlands shuttered petting zoos and banned duck hunting as it stepped up measures to stem a bird flu outbreak blamed for killing scores of poultry and more than a thousand wild birds in the country.

In the western port of Rotterdam, a park closed its animal section after several aquatic birds were found to have died from the H5N8 virus. Others still not affected have been penned in.

And on the banks of Lake Markermeer, close to Amsterdam, about 1,250 wild birds were found dead earlier this month, local news reports said.

The H5N1 strain of bird flu has killed more than 420 people, mainly in southeast Asia, since first appearing in 2003. Another strain of bird flu, H7N9, has claimed more than 200 lives since emerging in 2013, according to World Health Organisation figures.

Avian flu severely hit the Netherlands in 2003 with health authorities destroying some 30 million birds in an effort to quash an outbreak.

Around 106 million chickens are raised on Dutch poultry farms, according to the latest Dutch statistics.

Taiwan fast food chains to take big hit if bird flu worsens in US: COA

Taiwanese fast food chains will take the biggest hit of all Taiwanese industries if an outbreak of bird flu in the United States worsens, as it could require a comprehensive ban on chicken imports from that country, the Council of Agriculture (COA) said Friday.

The number of US states from which poultry products have been barred from entering Taiwan have gone up to 15 from nine due to the spread of bird flu there, said Chang Su-san, head of the council's Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine.

The ban might expand to cover all states if the outbreak continues to spread, which will hit fast food restaurants the hardest, as they rely on imports for over half of the chicken they serve, said Wang Chung-shu, deputy head of the council's Department of Animal Industry.

Free range chicken accounts for the majority of the chicken produced in Taiwan, but fast food chains, caterers and food manufacturers prefer cheaper frozen imported chickens or locally produced battery chickens over locally produced free range birds.

Taiwan imports some 140,000 tonnes of chicken from abroad every year, mostly from the US, Wang said.

Egg Farms Hit Hard as Bird Flu Affects Millions of Hens

Bird flu case in Holland turns out to be highly contagious H5N8 strain

Dutch authorities have determined that the bird flu detected at a poultry farm in the central Netherlands is the highly contagious H5N8 strain. Until recently, H5N8 had never been detected in Europe.

Deutsche Welle, 16 Nov 2014

Dutch officials announced a series of measures designed to contain the outbreak ofbird flu early on Sunday, even before it was clear which strain of the virus they were dealing with.

The government imposed a 72-hour ban on the transport of all poultry products including eggs, manure and used straw to and from all farms across the country which borders Germany and Belgium.

The transport ban for a 10-kilometer (six mile) radius surrounding the affected farm is to last for the next 30 days.

Agriculture inspectors then began the job of slaughtering all 150,000 chickens at the farm in central Dutch village of Hekendorp.

Danger to humans played down

Despite these precautionary measures, government officials played down risks to human health.

"It's a highly pathogenic strain for birds," Jan van Diepen a spokesman for the Netherlands' Ministry for Economic Affairs said.

"For people it's not that dangerous: you'd only get it if you were in very close contact with the birds."

Another ministry spokesman said the farm sold eggs rather than poultry.

The farm's owner, Piet Wiltenburg told the Reuters news agency that most of his produce was sold in the Netherlands, although some was exported to Germany.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with that produce," he said.

Second recent find in Europe

This is just the second time that the HfN8 strain of bird flu has been detected in Europe, after more than 30,000 turkeys had to be destroyed after it was found at a turkey farm in the northeastern German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania earlier this month.

Previously, it had mainly been found in South Korea, where its discovery led to four separate slaughters in which thousands of birds were culled.

According to Reuters, around 10,000 chickens were put down in March after a less contagious strain of bird flu was detected at a farm in eastern Holland.

Migrating birds blamed for spreading bird flu, two other Dutch farms declared healthy

Matthew message (Channelled by Suzanne Ward, Aug 12, 2014)

Matthew Ward - August 12, 2014

Matthew Ward

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. Several of the numerous readers who are asking about the Ebola outbreak referred to it as the “Ebola scare”—and rightly so, as scare is one of the reasons the virus was recently released again. When it was developed in a laboratory by Illuminati scientists almost 40 years ago, the intentions were twofold: to create a pandemic and to instill in peoples the fear that accompanies a virulent, contagious disease.

We are not minimizing Ebola’s severity today by saying that it was indeed then a sickness to dread. It spread rapidly and claimed many lives before it was brought under control; and the outbreak resulted in rampant negativity due to the large death toll, grief, chaos and fear. Now, healthy persons who contract the disease and receive appropriate treatment can recover, and, just as happens with any serious illness, persons who die had weak immune systems before exposure to Ebola or their systems became severely stressed by the fatigue of caring for patients. This time around the Illuminati will not achieve anywhere near the measure of negativity intended, nor did their other relatively recent attempts to devastate Earth’s population produce it.

You may recall that only a few years ago SARS, avian flu, swine flu and its reissue as N1H1 happened in turn, with global publicity about “a feared pandemic” after the first diagnosis of each disease; and, ever so handily, vaccines were at the ready. The intense publicity and clamoring for vaccinations lasted only briefly because it became obvious that since only a few deaths occurred, no pandemic had befallen your world. Scientists in the light-worker ranks neutralized the viruses in the vaccines that were designed to spread, not prevent those diseases, and all were total failures insofar as achieving their purpose: eliminating billions of humankind whom Henry Kissinger, the peak of the Illuminati, referred to as “useless eaters.”

AIDS, which was developed in laboratories about five years after the Ebola virus, has been much more successful in the eyes of the Illuminati. Whereas symptoms are nearly immediate in Ebola and the more recent four diseases we mentioned, AIDS, which is spread partly by contact and partly by the so-called “treatment” for HIV, develops very slowly and is transmitted by apparently healthy individuals. Thus, ever since it was introduced into the population, it has been running its natural course throughout the years. In so doing, it has enabled the millions who succumbed to it and everyone who loved and cared for them to experience choices in their soul contracts.

Still, it is logical to wonder why that disease and the deadly Ebola siege mushroomed out of control and viruses developed much later for the same purpose didn’t. There are two reasons. The AIDs and Ebola viruses were fabricated and released before Gaia’s free will choice that her human population would not be eliminated en masse by any means whatsoever; in God’s granting her request, inspiration was given to lighted souls to doom the Illuminati’s plans. And, because there was much less light on the planet and within the populace 30-some years ago, bodies were more vulnerable to disease.

Possibly media focus on Ebola is behind the number of emails about other health issues, and we shall address those most frequently questioned. How can we know which symptoms are ascension-related and which aren’t; to what extent are GMO foods adversely affecting health; how much are toxins in chemtrails affecting us; what can we do to strengthen immune systems; what causes chronic low energy and fatigue; when will illness of all kinds disappear?

In all of those situations, the answer is light—the “one size fits all”—and we happily offer information that can be helpful in absorbing light. Always the purpose of our messages has been to offer enlightenment, guidance and encouragement during these transformative phases that the planet and all of her residents are going through; and especially in the prevailing vibrations, where “good” gets better and “bad” gets worse, proper care of yourselves in mind, body and spirit is vital! Sound health makes it easier for messages from the soul to reach the consciousness, and your souls are telling you to look beyond the illusion, to open your minds and hearts to the reality of who you are—this is what ascension is all about!

Now then, increasingly high energy levels on Earth are producing a variety of physical, mental or emotional anomalies such as achiness, mood swings, urgency to act upon impulses, nervousness, confusion, fatigue, forgetfulness, chest congestion, depression, nausea, rash, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea or general weakness. If one system of a body is weaker, or less fortified, than the others, that system is susceptible to whatever unsettling condition is most closely related. When those sensations or conditions are due to the heightened vibrations changing cellular structure from carbon-based to crystalline, healthy individuals quickly adjust and symptoms disappear until the next energy surge, which is followed by another rapid adjustment, and so on; and the more light in a body, the less noticeable the effects are.

Be mindful that the symptoms associated with ascension also can be indications of a developing health issue. If what you are experiencing persists or worsens, please consult healthcare specialists, preferably those you call “holistic” or “alternative,” who know that prescription drugs can exacerbate a condition whereas natural ingredients in proper doses have ameliorative effects.

There is another important factor here. To balance other lifetimes or complete unfinished karmic lessons, some souls choose a severe illness, chronic debilitating disease, deep depression or aberrant mental functioning. In such cases, even the most proficient medical specialists cannot successfully treat the condition and neither can energy workers. This doesn’t mean that the love-light energy the workers channel cannot reach ailing persons; it is that the soul is not permitting activation of their bodies’ self-healing mechanisms.

Everyone can send love-light to anyone, to people worldwide and to Earth herself, and the energy streamers reach the intended destinations because there is no separation one from another in the universal consciousness—that consciousness is the Oneness of All. And never will a physical, mental or emotional condition delay or deter personal ascension of an individual who lives in accordance with soul contract choices.

Moving on now, except for grain that is designed for one crop only—this is based in greed and is negativity-laden—genetically modified foods are widely considered to be much more harmful than they actually are. Repeated publicity about any situation results in widespread belief, and whatever individuals believe is their reality. Therefore, the belief that GMO foods are harmful produces whatever ill effects consumers attribute to them; but it is the chemicals in processed foods, fertilizers, herbicides and pharmaceuticals, and the steroids and antibiotics fed to animals in the food chain that are hazardous to your health.

The most light-filled foods are fruits and vegetables, and if the cost is affordable, eat organically grown produce; choose meat from animals certified to be free of additives and sea food naturally grown or properly cultivated. If costs are prohibitive, please do not have negative thoughts about what you are eating instead! In diet, as in all other issues, positive thoughts are powerful and so is the light in gratitude—feel thankful for your food, ask that it serve your highest good, and believe that it is!

Eventually your soil, air and water will be pure again and food’s lost nutrients will be restored. Bodies’ crystalline cellular structure will thrive on fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains; meat and seafood no longer will be palatable; food allergies will disappear and so will today’s prolific chemicals.

Although toxins from all sources adversely affect health, bodies’ self-healing mechanisms resist or reduce the most harmful effects when immune systems function optimally. Light is essential to maintain that degree of immunity, and the best way to absorb light is positive thoughts and feelings. In that respect, please remember and feel grateful that crews in spacecraft are using their technologies to neutralize or reduce as much as possible the toxins in chemtrails, radioactive elements and all other pollutants in your earth, skies and waters.

Light absorption comes more naturally to persons whose lifestyle is balanced. Along with heeding recommendations of your healthcare specialists and nutritionists, these additional suggestions will assist in acquiring or regaining balance: Spend as much time as you can in tranquil solitude and enjoying Nature. Nurture your talents and allow artistic expressions to flow. Be kind to all persons and animals and react calmly to unpleasant surprises and confrontations. Choose light-hearted reading and other entertainment and listen to melodious music. Smile and laugh often! Monatomic gold, perhaps best known for enhancing brain function and spiritual clarity, also strengthens immune systems.

Chronically low energy and fatigue is not ascension-related insofar as indicating whether a person is living in godly ways; it does mean, however, that the body is seriously light-deficient. The lack may stem from one or more undiagnosed health conditions—perhaps the onset of an illness or debilitating disease, metabolic or hormonal imbalance, dehydration or severe food allergies. Intense worrying can keep energy levels low. Prolonged exposure to emissions from computers, TVs and cell phones; chemicals in prescription drugs; a diet lacking in nutritious foods; and effects of pollutants are other possibilities.

Any one of more of those potential reasons for fatigue and low energy may be in addition to—or more likely, caused by emotions bereft of light. Whether deeply suppressed or vehemently expressed, feelings such as fear, anger, resentment, guilt, remorse, bitterness and jealously drain energy; and a common drain is unbalanced relationships—the “low energy” person’s emotional system is dominantly feminine and the other’s dominantly masculine. This has nothing whatsoever to do with gender, only with the energy make-up of the person, and the unbalanced relationship can be between lifetime partners, siblings, parent and child, employer and employee, neighbors, friends, business co-owners, teammates—two individuals in any relationship that entails frequent close contact.

Keeping in mind that energy is light and light is the body’s life force, the person with masculine energy is draining the very life of the person whose energy is feminine. When such an arrangement is karmic, rarely is it lifelong. The lesson is complete when the “fatigued” individual takes steps to remedy the relationship or leaves it. If that person does neither and things continue as they were, your expression “He—or she—will be the death of me” wouldn’t be far from the truth.

Some soul contracts include a parting of the ways so that both individuals can experience life lessons with other people. This often pertains to partners who have children—all in the family chose to gain the learning offered by the parents’ lopsided relationship. Other contracts call for both individuals to acknowledge the need to improve their relationship and the desire to make appropriate changes to achieve that. However, because no one knows what is in her or his contract, the soul gives strong messages that can be likened to enormous arrows pointing in the direction of chosen experiencing. But free will reigns supreme and, just as in all other situations, persons in imbalanced relationships have the choice to ignore the soul’s guidance—when they do, other lifetimes will offer more opportunities to “look and learn.”

Illness across the board isn’t going to disappear until the population has absorbed enough light to believe that it can be disease-free—belief creates the reality. This pertains as well to rejuvenating faulty organs and growing missing limbs—regeneration and restoration won’t happen in one fell swoop because those processes also require belief.

People who unquestioningly believe they can recover from paralysis or their heart will function perfectly without a pacemaker, for example, will manage those accomplishments sooner than individuals whose belief wavers and much sooner than those who doubt they have any capability in those respects. It’s a matter of how much light has permeated mind, body and spirit; and at this moment, most in your world don’t think that something as “magical” as replacing dentures with actual new teeth is even a possibility.

Someday everyone in your world will know not only how magnificently-designed your bodies are, but what magnificently powerful souls you are! Beloved sisters and brothers, we are eager to see you discover your innate knowledge and abilities and take your rightful place in our universal family as the multidimensional souls you are.

LOVE and PEACE

"The Mysterious Innate" – Aug 31, 2013 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll)

Matthew message (Channelled by Suzanne Ward, Nov 22, 2013)

Matthew Books, Nov 23, 2013 (Includes a message Suzanne Ward received from John F Kennedy some years ago.)

Matthew Ward

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew.

First we shall speak about a matter that has touched hearts everywhere. Typhoon Haiyan is profoundly tragic for everyone who lost dear family and friends, homes and businesses—they don’t know that at soul level they agreed to be part of this major act of planetary cleansing. Because releasing accruing negativity was essential to keep Earth progressing toward balance, all the people whose physical lives ended and the millions who are struggling in the storm’s aftermath embraced the opportunity to evolve by participating as they did.

This kind of enthusiastic mass agreement doesn’t seem even possible in your concept of time, but in the eternal life of the soul and the timelessness of the continuum, opportunities to leap forward in soul growth are eagerly sought, and universe-wide they happen with some frequency. Please do not think that our explanation of a devastating situation is dispassionate or that we are unaffected by the grieving souls and their massive reconstruction ahead. We are among the myriad souls who showered light on the Philippines during and after the storm to assist all who made transition and to fortify the inner strength of survivors.  We feel their heartbreak and fright and confusion about how to start rebuilding their lives, their villages and farms and cities.

How we wish they could know that their loved ones were greeted by name and “Thank you!” as they entered Nirvana. Just as fervently we wish they could know that all who died and they themselves collectively agreed to give Earth that vital lift she needed to stay her course toward balance. If Gaia’s gratitude could be seen, your world would be ablaze with the radiance of its light.

Widespread compassion is adding light to the lives that in this moment are bleak and sorrowing, and the generosity of spirit in which assistance is being given is adding light, too. We see the overview of medical teams, suppliers of food and water, and clearing crews as they persevere in efforts to maneuver through areas where roads were washed out or are filled with destroyed buildings. We see the panic of hungry people looking for food, and we see those who take items that have nothing to do with survival but will be needed when a semblance of normalcy is restored. Light beings throughout this universe are streaming love-light energy to all of those souls.

Fifty years ago the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy shocked the world, but even today very few individuals know that his death had far more than a deeply emotional impact. Eventually the truth will emerge that one of the reasons he was killed was to prevent his abolishing the privately-owned Federal Reserve System and returning the national currency to its dollar status, a move that would have ended the Illuminati’s control of that country’s economy and severely weakened their ability to manipulate the global economy. Half a century later than Kennedy intended, the dismantling of that nefarious system is underway.

I have asked my mother to copy here the thought-provoking message she received from President Kennedy some years ago. [The following message, which was for a British author’s book about Princess Diana that includes messages from her and several others, was transmitted December 30, 2004. I don’t know if the book was published or if so, by what title.]

To the world that I left over forty years past, I say that my spirit of love for my country and Earth never departed.  My leaving was not by an accident any more than was Princess Diana’s death.  Our souls had agreed to serve in this way.  We knew at some level that our lives would be short on Earth by good intention, and we see that much has been accomplished in our names—more than if we had remained there.

Our lives were not lived in perfection, nor were they intended to be.  Our human frailties are like many others who also did much to assist in raising the human spirit and promoting the value of each life. 

I use again my words that still are publicly remembered: Ask not what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your country.  But now I amend those: Ask not what your world can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your world. LOVE is the answer, the ONLY answer to rising above the misery still befalling so much of humanity.

The spirit in which Diana and I both endeavored to serve in our respective positions is stronger than ever within us.  More than ever before in the history of Earth there is opportunity to spread love throughout the world with feelings and actions.  More than ever before there is imperative need for this!  The moment of great transition is at hand.  Contribute to this for the sake of all life on Earth and your soul’s divine nurturing.

We are never separate one from another.  We are One with the Universe.

Thank you, Mother, and now we shall address some issues that readers have questioned.

If comet Ison explodes, will any large fragments be pulled by Earth’s gravity into a position that can endanger us?  No. Spacecraft roaming the skies are on the lookout for comets like Ison and other large celestial bodies that could pose danger to Earth, and when one might, they use their technology to detour its route. In the case of smaller objects, they maneuver them to an area where no heavy damage can result or they smash them to smithereens, whichever is safer for you and the planet.

No, a time has not been set for official acknowledgement of other civilizations’ presence, the landing of ships and introduction of family members living among you. God is in charge of timing because only at that height of awareness can it be known when Earth humankind is ready to welcome “aliens.” Your film industry has done a good job of portraying people from other civilizations as monstrosities that want to annihilate you or handsome, sly beings who want to enslave you—images of grotesque creatures and stories of ruthless intent are seared in many, many minds.

Some readers feel that nothing of noteworthy substance can happen until your space family is working alongside you, and that is not so. Because it is your world, it is up to you to decide what societal, political and economic reforms you want and endeavor to accomplish them; and in numerous messages we have delineated the many ways that you have been making strides toward those significant goals. What your family from other civilizations will do is tackle environmental issues that are beyond your capabilities—their technologies can dematerialize nuclear waste and depleted uranium, purify polluted rivers and seas, and restore deserts to arable condition. Also, their free energy systems are far advanced of your own, which by and large still are under Illuminati suppression.

Others are asking if channeled reports are true that benevolent ETs became discouraged and abandoned you and the only ones near Earth now will come as conquerors. That is a blatant lie set forth by base entities who know that only benevolent members of our universal family are in your solar system and they have been assisting you all along.

We cited one situation above; however, other civilizations have been helping Earth and her successive generations of residents throughout her history. Mother, please copy part of the book that describes their many kinds of assistance.

[The following is portions of the chapter “Help from Other Civilizations” in Earth’s Golden Age–Life beyond 2012.]

 Assistance from extraterrestrials started long before their infusion of the light that saved Earth’s life more than seven decades ago.

Throughout Earth’s history our universal family has served her in one supportive role or another. Members of some highly advanced civilizations had a hand in designing and establishing the flora and fauna, and human life on the planet derived from several civilizations’ seeding programs.  Among today’s populace are descendants of those ancient residents, some of whom were gods and goddesses.  …

The Akashic records, which contain every soul’s lifeprint of each physical lifetime wherever in this universe each was experienced, are maintained and safeguarded by some of Ashtar’s forces.

For long ages some of Hatonn’s Pleiadian crews have been on rotation maintenance tours to insure the safety of the light grid around Nirvana that prohibits entry by rogue entities.  …

After your air travel started, the crews deflected the trajectory of debris or dematerialized it if it posed potential danger to planes in flight.  They also have rescued persons thought lost in ships at sea or planes that disappeared; the rescued parties physically entered a different energy plane, which is why they weren’t seen or heard from again.

Extraterrestrial assistance with unprecedented swiftness and intensity started over 70 years ago, when Earth cried out for help to keep her weakened planetary body alive. By God’s authorization, civilizations responded with a massive infusion of light to prevent the planet spinning out of orbit and certain death. Of course the in-pouring of light was available to all of Earth’s residents too, and those who responded started generating their own light with greater forcefulness.  …

In addition to beaming light to the planet, which will continue until it is well within fourth density, various civilizations are using their technologies in a number of ways in accordance with Earth’s desires. For instance, when the Illuminati cause a geophysical event, the crews lay down an electromagnetic grid that distributes earthquake or volcanic activity and lessens destruction and death toll without reducing the amount of negativity released by those events. In the case of Illuminati-created weather, the crews decrease the wind velocity of violent storms and steer them away from heavily populated areas along coastlines. [Note: That information was transmitted prior to the removal of weather-manipulating scientists by space family members living among you. Mother Nature is back in control of storms, earthquakes and wildfires, her means of releasing negativity.]

Remember the viruses called SARS, avian flu, swine flu and H1N1 that abruptly appeared on the scene simultaneously with media hoopla that each disease, in turn, was “feared to become a pandemic”? No pandemic happened because members of our universal family neutralized those laboratory-designed viruses, thus dooming the dark ones’ double intent for developing them—genuine pandemics with great loss of life and global chaos and fear.

Crews in your skies, who are there by the thousands and thousands, are using their technologies to reduce as much as possible the radiation from Japan’s damaged nuclear reactors, and they rendered less harmful to marine life the oil that kept gushing into the Gulf of Mexico. They are ameliorating the toxic effects of weaponry and other pollutants, and a civilization appearing as cloud formations is leading the way in cleansing Earth’s atmosphere.

As important as all those kinds of assistance are, perhaps the most significant help since “9/11” has been preventing the Illuminati from using nuclear warheads to mount similarly devastating terrorist attacks.  A dozen or so attempts have been thwarted by rendering the warheads impotent, sometimes in combination with missile malfunctions.  This is not a violation of Creator’s law of free will—it is honoring Earth’s free will choice that there will be no more terrorism like “9/11.”

Some of the strongest, most experienced light beings in this universe are right there among you, working behind the scenes to guide the essential changes so that as many of Earth’s residents who choose to accompany her into the higher planes can do so. This is how universally beloved and significant Earth is and how beloved and important YOU are!  …

These volunteers from spiritually evolved civilizations took on human bodies so they could live and work among you undetected.  Although they recognize each other from the distinctive auras that reflect their souls’ evolutionary station, only a few of you are sufficiently energy-sensitive to see them as different from anyone else.

The purpose of their presence derives from their superior intelligence that gives them entry into fields where they can beneficially influence actions and activities during this crucial time of Earth’s transition process.

What these benevolent visitors are doing is not a rarity in the universe—souls continue evolving through service to lesser developed civilizations.   As you continue to grow spiritually and intellectually, eventually you will be willing and able to help enlighten and uplift lesser evolved souls.

Thank you, Mother.  Now let us speak again about negativity for a moment. Some time ago we told you that the negativity that had become deeply entrenched due to millennia of humankind’s brutality to each other and the animals had been released. So, where is negativity coming from now?  As ever before, from the citizens of Earth.

In previous messages we have said that everything in existence is energy.  We have spoken about the power of thoughts, feelings, and written and spoken words, and we have stressed how crucial it is to focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want. Also we have explained why forgiveness and gratitude are so important. Evidence of these universal truths is in the ancient practice of ho’oponopono, which ties them all together into an “elixir of divine grace,” you might say.

The accomplishment of Dr. Hew Len, formerly a psychologist at a hospital for the criminally insane in Hawaii, is a stunning example of ho’oponopono’s efficacy. Instead of seeing patients during the couple of years he was there, he stayed in his office, sometimes looking at their files, and repeating over and over and over “I’m sorry.  Please forgive me.  I love you. Thank you.” By his accepting responsibility for the patients’ status—in essence, acknowledging the inseparable connection of all souls and that whatever one does affects all others—they started improving and continued until they were healed and released.

This remarkable proof of the power of thoughts and feelings can be enlightening and inspiring to everyone. Sharing that story along with feeling grateful for our universal family’s diligence, assistance and unconditional love will speed the day when life in your world is peaceful and harmonious.

Our beloved family, we are with you every moment of your journey toward your rightful place as citizens of this universe.

LOVE and PEACE…

Former Health Ministry Director Sentenced to 5 Years in Bird Flu Graft Case

Disgraced Ministry of Health Director Ratna Dewi Umar was sentenced to five years in prison on Monday for inflating the cost of needed medical ventilators at the height of Indonesia’s response to the most deadly outbreak of bird flu in the world.

In 2007, Indonesian health officials were scrambling to control an outbreak of the H5N1 virus that left more than 100 people dead by the end of the year. Mortality rates for those infected with the virus have remained above 78 percent in the years that followed as the nation eventually recorded 159 of the 359 reported human fatalities to date, according to World Health Organization data.

As the nation rushed to head-off a possible nationwide epidemic, Ratna marked up the price of medical ventilators purchased from subcontractor Prasasti Mitra, a company owned by Bambang Rudijanto Tanoesoedibjo, the brother of media mogul and presidential hopeful Hary Tanoesoedibjo. The scheme cost the state some Rp 12 billion ($1.2 million) in losses.

“We declare that the suspect Ratna Dewi Umar has been found convincingly guilty of corruption,” lead judge Nawawi Pomolango said.

The former health director was also ordered to pay Rp 500 million in fines or face an additional three years in prison. She has maintained her innocence through the trial, testifying that former Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari was responsible for the graft.

“I was just following an order from my superior, I did not intend to commit any corruption as accused,” Ratna said. “Siti Fadilah Supari has been untouchable and is so sure she will not be touched,but I am convinced she will not escape her judgment day.”

Siti was originally called in as a witness in Ratna’s case, but was later declared a suspect by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for allegedly accepting Rp 1.2 billion in traveler’s checks associated with the graft scandal. In November of last year, the KPK announced it would move to seize the former health minister’s assets.

She has denied the charges.
