In response to my last article, Letters From The Edge, which included a recent missive from Victor Clube, author of The Cosmic Serpent and The Cosmic Winter, I stated:
We aren't talking about a giant asteroid here that is going to create a global wave of firestorm destruction like the movies depict! It's not Planet X or Nibiru! It's NOT the End of the World (at least not for everybody, but certainly for those who aren't prepared and happen to be in the line of fire!) But yeah, it might be somewhat like the Black Death with the loss of half the population of one or more continents, or the great Chicago Fire or Tunguska or even all of these rolled into one; but all of those events were survivable had the victims been informed and prepared. Yes, there are those who, even had they been informed and prepared would not have survived in any case, but we choose the optimistic path: Knowledge Protects. And we are trying our hardest to give you that knowledge.
One reader commented on the article as follows:
What I've picked up so far is that the formation of true community where people share perspective, information, knowledge and material resources such as pooled labor and the fruits of such (cash) is one of the main ways that persons can create the situation where they can survive such a cosmic disaster. Knowledge of what's really happening being another--which among other potential benefits, prevents paralyzing fear and panic--enabling persons to Think in real time as some thing happens. Therefore, sharing and spreading knowledge of what's really happening to encourage greater awareness and the formation of such community groups being another.
Would you please write an article/articles where you share other ideas/suggestions on how to survive such a possible/probable cosmic event as described?
Needless to say, we all need to help SOTT stay online for such an article to come out.
I'm trying to get there.
What's so interesting is that I was also doing that in the Wave Series when the attacks from another pack of cyberpaths began. Coincidence? Not likely, even if the attackers are unaware of what is driving them. As we have pointed out, people's emotions can be used to drive them anywhere a clever manipulator wants them to go. That is not to exclude conscious "agents of attack and diversion" either, but let's keep it simple and assume that most people are unaware of how easily they can be - and are - controlled.
Over the past 20 years or so, I have learned a lot from those types of individuals, painful though those lessons were, and what I have learned is that, when possible, it is important to continue to focus as completely as possible on putting the needed information together and getting it out there for you, our readers, while giving as little air time to the attackers as possible. One has to have nerves of steel and be free of all self-importance in order to be able to ignore the attacks and attackers. Of course, those attacks have had an impact on us, personally - including our health - as well as the website. Think of how many people will have a knee-jerk reaction and refuse to read the very information that could save their lives because of the accusation "cult"?! A cunning slander that does more damage to the people it puts off than it does to us, actually. It's also very sad that the very people that we seek most to help - the masses of normal, decent human beings, the lost sheep of society - can be so easily sidetracked and diverted from their own best interests and induced to serve the interests of a pathological elite structure that cares nothing for them, their children, or their future. As Andzrej Lobaczewski wrote:
A normal person deprived of privilege or high positions goes about performing some work which would earn him a living; but [pathological deviants in power] never possessed any solid practical talent, and the time frame of their rule has eliminated any residual possibilities of adapting to the demands of normal work. If the law of normal man were to be reinstalled, they and theirs could be subjected to judgment... they would be threatened by a loss of freedom and life, not merely a loss of position and privilege. Since they are incapable of this kind of sacrifice, the survival [their rule over humanity] becomes a moral idea. Such a threat [their exposure and overthrow] must be battled by means of psychological and political cunning and a lack of scruples with regard to those other "inferior-quality" people. [...]
[True majority rule] is a nightmare vision [for the pathological elites].
The biological, psychological, moral, and economic destruction of this majority is thus a "biological" necessity. Many means serve this end, starting with concentration camps and including warfare with an obstinate, well-armed foe who will devastate and debilitate the human power thrown at him, namely the very power jeopardizing pathocrats rule. Once safely dead, the soldiers will then be decreed heroes to be revered in paeans, useful for raising a new generation faithful to the pathocracy. [Ponerology: The Science of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes]
But, there are times when it is simply necessary to mount a defense.
Miyamoto Musashi, also known as Shinmen Takezō, Miyamoto Bennosuke, or by his Buddhist name Niten Dōraku, was a Japanese swordsman famed for his duels and distinctive style. Musashi, as he is often simply known, became the legendary founder of the Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū or Niten-ryū style of swordsmanship and the author of The Book of Five Rings, a book on strategy, tactics, and philosophy that is still studied today. My son recently wrote about the present situation:
Musashi never backed down from a fight, whether he knew he could win or he knew he could lose, and it doesn't matter who, what, when or where, there is no such thing as an unimportant battle.
Ideally you should choose your battles, but sometimes, the battle chooses you. A mosquito might be a small creature, easily squashed, but it can carry a lethal disease, it can kill, regardless of its size. So some might argue to ignore the mosquito, let it bite you and others, as usually it can be more or less harmless, but sometimes, it can kill, and so, in times when a lethal diseases that is carried by mosquitoes is rampant, you should squash a mosquito, to protect yourself and others.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children."
He is right. This is not just about sott.net. This lawsuit could set a precedent for everything that everyone says and does on the internet. Do not underestimate the power of a precedent that may be set in Federal Court. The freedoms of every single forum on the net are threatened by this suit. The freedoms of many alternative websites - if not most of them - are threatened by this law suit. If they don't realize that, then they aren't paying attention. If they do realize it and still do not come to our aid, I think we can safely assume that they are not on the side of Freedom and Truth. It's not even necessary for any of them to agree with anything we say to support this battle against Suppression.
I don't agree with my attackers, but they have the right to say what they want about my work. Unfortunately, most of my attackers don't really talk about my work, they attack me personally, vindictively, and even illegally, in the sense that they DO defame and libel me in a way that is not just an exercise of their right of Free Speech.
I don't want to go too far in that direction at the moment. Suffice it to say that, as long as we have an attorney who can take care of such things for us, giving us a modicum of peace of mind, and the financial support to pay that attorney and survive, I will be able to concentrate, to do the research and present it in clear, understandable articles for everyone. We are thankful for all the support thus far, but we have by no means reached the "comfort zone." We hope that all of you will spread the word on the net in every way you can and let people know what we are trying to do here, that we are totally reader supported, and everything we research and write is made available for free to everyone. We don't carry advertising, we don't have "pay per view" material, and we cater to no one and nothing but the Truth, or as close to it as we can get.
I'm confident that our readers will do all that is necessary to keep the lighthouse burning and the next installment of the Comet Series is underway, good lord willing and the creek don't rise!

For your unfaltering will to do the most you can for as many as you can - no matter the cost to you.
You are an inspiration to those who are seeking the truth in a world of lies.
All the best to you.

"the formation of true community where people share perspective, information, knowledge and material resources such as pooled labor and the fruits of such (cash) is one of the main ways that persons can create the situation where they can survive such a cosmic disaster."
I agree with this note from a fellow reader, I also think it is apt to list perspective as the first item of things that are necessary to be shared. That, it seems is a big part of my problem. I am having a hard time finding people near my location who share this perspective. I feel surrounded by zombies, unable to look away from the TV screen, or resist pulling over at the nearest McDonald's. It is apparent to me that I will need to start finding like people near me in short order, or I could find myself in a very sticky situation.

Also, THANK YOU Laura. The C's were absolutely correct when they said you were important to many of our people's. I know you are to me. I have committed myself to donating as much as I can from every paycheck to your legal defense until the structures that allows me to do so crumble.

Yes, this is another battle to be fought, but as difficult it is for you and the SOTT team to deal with the attacks, I think this particular one comes as a "blessing" in disguise.
I have spread the word, as much as I can, to my friends, family and through networks like myspace.com or tribe.net. What I have noticed is that people are becoming more curious about what this site and research is all about and why they would be sued against, so they do start looking into it without getting sidetracked by the age old "cult" accusation. Of course not all, some will not be able to go beyond their quick judgments, but many are starting to look into it and look with their own eyes. That is just based on responses I have gotten recently when spreading the word. It seems people, some at least, do become more aware of the manipulation, not only through the obvious political arena, but also through questionable new age "teachings" and so called alternative news sites. I can certainly see that "trend" based on my own interactions.
So in that sense, this attack brings attention to your work and the SOTT team, also because it is not only about you, but about free speech in general, so people are naturally curious why one would try to silence this "lighthouse".
On a another note, I got the chance to chat a bit with Richard Dolan at the UFO Congress three weeks ago, where he gave the keynote presentations (excellent!).
We came to talk about your work and he told me about his stay at your place. He said he was amazed with your research and has no idea why people would label this group as a cult. In fact , he said, what you and the SOTT group have is something many people and researchers should aspire to: a community that works/lives together for the better good of all in the pursuit of truth. He was very impressed and he loved the food!...lol!
In that sense, I have to agree and expand it. We are alerady a global community, connected through cyberspace and it is up to all of us to keep that connection alive.
We need each other in the end of the day.
You have my support, because in that sense I support my self and I will do my best to spread the word.

The phrase, "the good Lord willing and the creek don't rise" reminds me of the Johnny Cash song, "Five feet high and rising." So I looked up the lyrics. They seem appropriate.
Here they are. (Read them with an internal deep rich baritone.)
My mama always taught me that good things come from adversity if we put our faith in the Lord.
We couldn't see much good in the flood waters when they
were causing us to have to leave home,
But when the water went down,
We found that it had washed a load of rich black bottom dirt across our land.
The following year we had the best cotton crop we'd ever had.
I remember hearing:
How high's the water, mama?
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Two feet high and risin'
We can make it to the road in a homemade boat
That's the only thing we got left that'll float
It's already over all the wheat and the oats,
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the water, mama?
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Three feet high and risin'
Well, the hives are gone,
I've lost my bees
The chickens are sleepin'
In the willow trees
Cow's in water up past her knees,
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, mama?
Four feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Four feet high and risin'
Hey, come look through the window pane,
The bus is comin', gonna take us to the train
Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain,
4 feet high and risin'
How high's the water, mama?
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Five feet high and risin'
Well, the rails are washed out north of town
We gotta head for higher ground
We can't come back till the water comes down,
Five feet high and risin'
Well, it's five feet high and risin'

I also thought of this song right away. "Head for 'higher ground,'" indeed.

thats the first emotional reaction I had when I heard about the lawsuit, one of complete outrage!
then saner logic took over, after which I realized I need to do something about it. Quite funny really, I guess the outrage was also because SOTT has become so dear to me now (I eagerly log on everyday to see if there is a new article, so it was emotionally taken as a personal attack on me), and you guys all seem to be life-long friends!
well anyway, to do my part I will donate 100 euros from my end. I guess its really the total number of people that donate that really count, as I can't see too many high-value donations coming in. Just makes me feel so helpless that I can't help more (I wish I was stinkin' rich), wonder what you guys are feeling!
If the people reading this site truly have gained in inner value by reading ANY of this information, then it becomes an OBLIGATION to help, if you want to make a difference, that is. Try to put yourself in the shoes of the creators of this site.
I thank Laura and all those who are contributing to this site for helping enormously in my search for the truth and showing me the light. Thank you.

From the above article:
"He is right. This is not just about sott.net. This lawsuit could set a precedent for everything that everyone says and does on the internet. Do not underestimate the power of a precedent that may be set in Federal Court. The freedoms of every single forum on the net are threatened by this suit. The freedoms of many alternative websites - if not most of them - are threatened by this law suit. If they don't realize that, then they aren't paying attention. If they do realize it and still do not come to our aid, I think we can safely assume that they are not on the side of Freedom and Truth. It's not even necessary for any of them to agree with anything we say to support this battle against Suppression."
Absolutely, this absurd lawsuit, in a world where limitless absurdity has become a concrete "normal" reality, is an attack on all those websites whose foundations are built upon a pure sincere receptivity to receive information from as many sources as possible so that these websites can support the freedom to seek and then affirm the Truth. Such lawsuits seek to undermine this receptivity and in so doing undermine the very foundations that allow people to speak out and affirm themselves. It’s an attack to undermine the very foundations upon which the freedom to affirm and stand up for oneself in any forum stands. With the loss of this freedom there will be the loss of the choice to speak out and ALL websites will lose their cubic centimeter of possibility to be free. Only with this possibility can these websites continue to seek, and be receptive to the Truth, so that they can take a stand on it and affirm it to the world around them.

Maybe ya'll ought to start making note of which blogs and alternative news sites, and 9-11 researchers, and so on, who actually carry the story and/or offer support. I think you will be able to make a list of who is, and who is not, on the side of humanity that way.

described by Laura as "a cunning slander that does more damage to the people it puts off than it does to us, actually." This really is the core truth of the matter. The accusation is NOT so much about attacking the truth-tellers but about DENYING as many people as possible from accessing the truth. Think about that one and understand the core motivation of the elite of this world.

This lawsuit just might have the opposite effect than intended. It could draw more attention to SOTT and thus more people would receive it's message.
They might make you famous, Laura! Wouldn't that just crimp their gizzard! Chuckle ;D

But it won't if our readers don't spread the information. We strongly suspect that CIA controlled google suppresses sott. The same thing happens on so-called "social networking sites." Probably all of them have Pentagon Bux Backing. So, the only way to really spread information these days is person to person. Thankfully, that is a lot easier with the internet than it would be otherwise even if the internet has become the playground for cointelpro.
So, ya'll get busy and spread the word!
