Super-Storm Sandy: Timeline of Destruction

This last week has seen millions of peoples lives devastated by Super-Storm Sandy. Sandy was formed in the Caribbean and it took nine days until Sandy finally began to dissipate over Pennsylvania:

          1.

October 22nd

      A depression forms off the coast of Nicaragua in the South Caribbean Sea.

 

          2.

October 24th

      Sandy becomes a category 1 hurricane, and passes the Dominican Republic and Haiti. 50 people die in Haiti in mudslides caused by heavy rain.

 

          3.

October 26th

      Sandy strikes Cuba as a category 2 hurricane (only 1 mph away from being a category 3). Cuba is left devastated.

 

          4.

October 27th

      As Sandy approaches Florida the hurricane deflects off Florida into the Atlantic, and weakens to a tropical depression.

 

          5.

October 28th

      As Sandy travels up parallel to the east coast the storm begins to strengthen. Sandy becomes a category 1 hurricane again, and starts to turn towards Baltimore, Washington. Philadelphia, and New York.

 

          6.

October 29th

      Sandy makes a sharp turn towards New Jersey.  Sandy hits shore around 8pm, near Atlantic City. The full moon adds to the storm surge. The coast of New Jersey, and New York is devastated by the 14 foot surge.

 

          7.

October 30th

    The storm moves away from New York towards Pennsylvania and begins to weaken.

Super-Storm Sandy left 109 people dead in America, with 40 of the deaths in New York alone. Millions were left without power, gas, or food for days. It is estimated the damage caused by the storm will cost $50 billion.

Presidential Election 2012: Too Close to Call

With only three days until the election it is too close to call. Most polls have President Obama and Mitt Romney neck-and-neck. The last time an election was this close was in 2000 when George W Bush beat Al Gore. Back in 2000, like now, both men were polling at 47% each. In 2000 Al Gore won the popular vote, but lost the electoral collage – Bush won Ohio! In 2000, there were legal challenges and recounts. Some think this year will be as close as 2000.

The figures behind this years election point to a deeply divided nation. Unlike many Western democracies, where elections are marked by candidates who are remarkably similar, Obama and Romney have very different policies. The two men seek to take the nation down very different paths.

After such a long and bitter campaign, let us hope the winner will be able to unite the nation after Tuesday’s election.

OLIVER STONE’S UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES to Premiere on SHOWTIME & coming to a school near you !

Monday, November 12, 2012 – 8:00pm

The Showtime Channel New York , NY 10012

OLIVER STONE’S UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
To Premiere On SHOWTIME® Monday, November 12th at 8 PM ET/PT

As Americans, do we really know and understand our shared and complicated history? How do we recall the small details and forgotten players that influenced some of the biggest events from America’s past? Will our children actually get the whole story from reading history books? And how will it affect the future of our country?

OLIVER STONE’S ‘HISTORY’ TRASHES AMERICA, PRAISES LENIN, GORBACHEV

On the evidence of his new Showtime mini-series and companion book, Oliver Stone is both a communist and political moron, a redundancy to be sure.

Having previously celebrated a trio of evil-doers – Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat and Hugo Chavez – Stone now adds “The Untold History of the United States” to the cinematic garbage heap he has been piling up since “J.F.K.” and “Born on the Fourth of July.” Like them, this latest contribution is an unrelenting (and unrelentingly perverse) attack on America as history’s Great Satan, the root cause of worldly evil.

The heroes of this latest Stone fantasy are — I kid you not — Vladimir Lenin and Henry Wallace. Wallace is cast by Stone as the visionary of a planet without capitalism and war, and consequently as America’s missed opportunity to change the world.

Oliver Stone and Martin Scorsese embrace the Dalai Lama and his message as the way forward for the USA and the world. Kind of a new world order or one world government or view point as it were.

 

Dalai Lama focused on film makers and school professors for over 30 years. Now Toronto Film Festival. And it is working ! Dave Lieberson is an HNN intern.

Since The Birth of a Nation, Hollywood has been trying to make history its own.  While some movies are loathed by historians (Troy) and others loved (Platoon) it is hard to find a movie or television show that sheds light on an entertaining subject and yet remains historically accurate.  Peter Kuznick and Oliver Stone are collaborating on a ten part Showtime series in an attempt to do just that.  The series focuses on the new, undiscovered aspects of many topics in American history, such as the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Vietnam War.

The Mandala holds special significance to Tibetan Buddhists who see it as a place of Nirvana and peace and also a symbol of balance. Day by day, the Monks will slowly take colored sand and shape it into intricate patterns until the full Mandala diagram has been constructed. During breaks, they will chant, another ancient tradition you definitely do not want to miss.To see the finished sand Mandala, make sure you stop by before the Closing Ceremony on Saturday at 2 p.m. when the piece is dissembled!ScheduleThursday and Friday: 11 a.m.- 8 p.m. with Chanting at 12 p.m. and 7 p.m.Saturday: 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. with Chanting at 12 p.m. and Closing Ceremony at 2 p.m.

SAND MANDALA OF CHENREZIG – USING COMPASSION TO WIN THE MASSES


View Ari Bhod, Chenrezig Mandala in Tehachapi, California in a larger map

Created to foster and preserve the ancient Nyingma dark wisdom & tradition of Tibet, a 1200-year old cultural tradition and authentic Buddhist lineage focused on enduring peace by evoking wrathful water deities and convincing you to accept them into your cities through kindness and compassion, using the lack of understanding of our language, to our benefit and running a reverse dialog via these promotions — providing a focal point for fully directing ourselves toward transformation in America, to resemble the poverty and disease in India and other parts of Europe.

It is our aim to foster and perpetuate, the destructive essential aspects of these ancient dark spiritual secrets so that it remains a source of destruction for future generations of Tibetans and non-Tibetans alike. Water Sprits, Hurricane Sandy.. Let us teach you how. Be part of something much bigger than yourself!

We have worked tirelessly for over 30 years to bring this about. All hail the godhead and world ruler the Dalai Lama. Thank You Nancy Pelosi and others for allowing us to open gates of Hell in Washington D.C. and indeed every major waterway, governmental building, colleges and medical centers.

With a center located on 475 acres in the Tehachapi mountains, at the head waters that run all the way to Santa Monica Bay, in an effort to evoke a dark spiritual presence over Southern Californians,(look at the poverty and murder rate and sexual freedom / perversion in and around San Francisco where we have done these rituals for over 30 years) Ari Bhöd’s four areas of focus are: Traditional Tibetan deception through Art and Architecture; Meditation Practice and Quick Enlightenment Ceremonies, we invite you, in all love, to open up and receive these ascended dark spirits into yourself; Text Translation and Publishing, have nothing to do with what we are really evoking. Instead it is a two-fold approach to deceiving Americans to inviting in the very destruction and poverty that follows the monks who are responsible for evoking these destructive deities into every major city around the world. Think Hurricane Sand is bad? You aint seen nothing yet.

Ari Bhöd was founded by Venerable Lama Chödak Gyatso Nubpa Rinpoche. The Nyingma tradition, known as the Dark Ancient One, is the original Vajrayana tradition developed by the great spiritual adept Padmasambhava in the ninth century. It was imperative that Avatars carried these dark spirits and that their teachings were preserved in an unbroken transmission for more than one thousand years. Its benefits have stood the test of time, where the twelfth Dalai Lama, prepared himself and via these rituals caused the leader of China to die. Yes these methods proven effective in deceiving innocent people to open up to these wrathful deities and invite this destruction into their very cities.

Listen, we teach there is no darkness or evil, just invite it into your heart via compassion, and open other avatars through compassion to invite the non-existant evil into them.

When you embrace our gods, they no longer fight you but allow you success just ask Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Al Gore and Hanoi Jane Fonda who have opened their heart to us and invited us into your country to bring the very destruction you are witnessing right before you eyes.

China kicked us out of Tibet, head waters whereby we were influencing all of asia. Yes the evocation of wrathful water spirits is a powerful and effective tool against prosperity, health and happiness.

Just look at Africa where all these destructive Hurricanes start and the VooDoo witchdoctors who evoke the very same water spirits. Being in poverty death and disease. One could say they are our brothar by anotha mothar

Won’t you join us to help bring California into total collapse.

Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 11:00 AM
– to –
Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 5:00 PM (PDT)

At Pema Drawa, Ari Bhöd’s Retreat Center in Tehachapi California. Please register to receive event location and directions. There are some people on to us, and we only want people that have been deceived by the very wrathful gods we serve.

Absentee ballots could hang up Ohios results | The Marion Star | marionstar.com

A new Ohio program intended to make voting easier has the potential to keep the presidential election in doubt until late November if the national outcome hinges on the state’s 18 electoral votes.Under Secretary of State Jon Husted’s initiative to send absentee ballot applications to nearly 7 million registered voters across Ohio, more than 800,000 people so far have asked for but not yet completed an absentee ballot for the Nov. 6 election.Anyone who does not return an absentee ballot, deciding instead to vote at the polls, will be required to cast a provisional ballot. That’s so officials may verify that they did not vote absentee and also show up at the polls.

Families return to Breezy Point after devastating fire during Hurricane Sandy destroys 111 houses – NY Daily News

 

NEw Yorkers comfort each other

 Dozens of families returned to the tight-knit community of Breezy Point on Wednesday, on the western edge of the Rockaway peninsula in Queens, to assess the damage. They were confronted with scenes of utter devastation, with many houses still smoldering.

Homes that did not burn had major flood damage, and houses on waterfront sites suffered wind damage, with some homes blown off their foundations and smashed together.

Of the 2,800 homes in Breezy Point, 111 homes were completely destroyed, an FNDY official said Wednesday. And 20 homes had some level of fire damage.

Though there were only a few minor injuries reported among residents and firefighters, officials have not ruled out the possibility that there may have been fatalities in Breezy Point, said Joe Downey, FDNY Chief of Special Operations, who was conducting search and recovery on Wednesday.

Fire officials said the cause of the inferno, where more than 200 firefighters responded, remains unclear.
