Santa's Secret
Wish
from myteacher.net
On Christmas Eve, a young boy with light in his eyes
Looked deep into Santa's, to Santa's surprise
And said as he sat on Santa's broad knee,
"I want your secret. Tell it to me."
He leaned up and whispered in Santa's good ear
"How do you do it, year after year?"
"I want to know how, as you travel about,
Giving gifts here and there, you never run out.
How is it, Dear Santa, that in your pack of toys
You have plenty for all of the world's girls and boys?
Stays so full, never empties, as you make your way
From rooftop to rooftop, to homes large and small,
From nation to nation, reaching them all?"
And Santa smiled kindly and said to the boy,
"Don't ask me hard questions. Don't you want a toy?"
But the child shook his head, and Santa could see
That he needed the answer. "Now listen to me,"
He told that small boy with the light in his eyes,
"My secret will make you sadder and wise...

"Butterfly Kisses"
from myteacher.net
We often learn the most from our children. Sometime ago, a friend of
mine punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold
wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became infuriated when the
child tried to decorate a box to put under the tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the
next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy." He was embarrassed
by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he
found that the box was empty. He yelled at her, "Don't you know that
when you give someone a present, there's supposed to be something
inside of it?" The little girl looked up at him with tears in her
eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy it's not empty. I blew kisses into the
box. All for you, Daddy." The father was crushed. He put his arms
around his little girl, and he begged her forgiveness. My friend
told me that he kept that gold box by his bed for years. Whenever he
was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember
the love of the child who had put it there.
Many Americans
Still Believe in Conspiracies
by Kevin Crowe and Guido H.
Stempel III, Scripps Howard News Service
Nearly two-thirds of Americans
think it is possible that some federal officials had specific
warnings of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York
and Washington, but chose to ignore those warnings, according to
a Scripps Howard News Service/Ohio University poll.
A national survey of 811 adult residents of the United States
conducted by Scripps and Ohio University found that more than a
third believe in a broad smorgasbord of conspiracy theories
including the attacks, international plots to rig oil prices,
the plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and
the government's knowledge of intelligent life from other
worlds.
The high percentage is a manifestation, some say, of an American
public that increasingly distrusts the federal government...

Creating the
Paranormal
by Stephen Wagner, About.com
The mind can tap into psychic phenomena. Can it also create physical
phenomena?
WHERE IS THE mind? Where does your consciousness reside? Is it
solely a product of your brain? A biologist would likely say yes,
since the brain is the only thing the scientist can see, examine,
and experiment with. If the mind, or consciousness, is merely the
output of the brain, however, how are we to explain the
extraordinary cases of fully functional people who have half a brain
or very little brain matter at all?
* A 39-year-old woman in China was found, to her doctors’ surprise,
to have just half a brain, on the right side. The left side of her
brain was completely missing, yet she lives a completely normal
life, having completed high school with good grades. The only reason
her doctors found out was because the woman came to them complaining
of a feeling of weakness...

Do Black Budget
Trillions Support A Secret American Space Program?
by Linda Moulton Howe,
Earthfiles
November 20, 2007 Elmhurst,
Illinois - The whole world knows about September 11, 2001, when
the two World Trade towers melted down to New York City streets
after terrorist-controlled airliners flew into them. The day
before, on September 10th, 2001, then Secretary of Defense,
Donald Rumsfeld, declared his own war on the Pentagon
bureaucracy for wasting so much unaccounted money. Sec. Rumsfeld
said, “According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3
trillion in transactions.”
One of Rumsfeld’s worried employees was Jim Minnery from the
Defense Department’s Finance and Accounting Service. He backed
up Rumsfeld by saying, "We know the money is gone. But we don't
know what they spent it on." Minnery, a former Marine turned
whistle-blower, risked his job by speaking out about millions of
dollars missing from Department of Defense (DOD) balance sheets.
Twenty years earlier in the early 1980s, Department of Defense
Analyst Franklin Spinney also made headlines exposing what he
called "accounting games in which the books are cooked routinely
year after year.”
Trillions of dollars “cooked” – by whom? And for what reason?
These questions were behind one of the presentations at the Las
Vegas UFO Crash Retrieval Conference November 10-11, 2007.
Michael Schratt, 38-year-old, has always had a passion for
studying airplanes and even took some Parks College courses in
aerospace engineering in St. Louis. He did not earn a degree,
but he went on to become an autocad draftsman working on
aerospace components. Today, he is an Aerospace draftsman for
Armstrong Aerospace based in Elmhurst Illinois...
