Linda Moulton Howe, A Stanford-Educated TV Investigative Journalist, a national heroine for braving tough topics..How about the rest of US?

 Since 9/11/01, life in America changed for everyone. No longer was there a safety net of 'being in big city with predictable norms, maybe some storms, but not Terrorist Attacks!!' Same with the idea of getting on a plane. While Brian Ross of ABC News has said we should likely all learn more about 'which planes are the safer ones to fly on' (with television coverage about what some problems have been with certain types and models of planes), we hadn't really thought of The Passengers as posing a risk to more than the people on the plane whether intentionally or inadvertently (losing control of their actions, etc.)

What Linda Moulton Howe covers in many online pieces is that the US Government learned about UFOs (or any other term to indicate Unidentified Flying Objects, Discs, Spaceships and the entities, alien (human like or otherwise) in at least 1948. The landmark cases on record are about those in New Mexico...in Roswell, but also in Aztec (near Farmington, a few hours north of Albuqueque..yes that's a lot of q's and u's, maybe a reminder to remember our p's and q's (points and questions...) when one or more UFOs were brought down or otherwise landed with entities on board. She covers a lot in 'Strange Harvest' about a pattern of animal mutilations (missing parts taken 'cleanly by a process involving high heat but not leaving carbon residue) that happened all over the country and other parts of the world in the 1960s onward. There is much that we don't learn and that the US official governmental policy is to 'not validate' or allow the information to become known about from their standing

. But that is changing with the internet. Will we have enough time to learn all the ins and outs and get the word out to prevent more cover-ups that apparently may not be in our collective best interest? We are counting on people like Steven Greer and his many supporters to help us navigate these high-stakes times. The survival of life on our planet is at stake as far as I can recall him (and many other serious experts from many fields even like 350.org) sharing from recent videos.

Meanwhile in September 2017, the sad tragedy of 'domestic violence' showing up in the headlines could help us remember to learn from the losses if there is a way to glean a lesson, even if it long after a turn of events. While Orion K. has thankfully been identified to allay some fears for the town of Groton MA in which he ended the lives of his own mother, two grandparents and their caregiver, not everyone is found who commits harm or takes a life. While Orion is in his early  20s and college educated, a teen killed in that town in 1996, Stephanie S.,was in a less stable place in her life. Her older sister Heather S. did not know Stephanie had been sexually involved with Heather's boyfriend until she read of her affection for him in Stephanie's journal. Heather then got her boyfriend who had some troubling aspects to his earlier and current life, to kill her. That is a scenario of misery for the teens, their families and communities. With the idea of 'free love' and multiple relationships, the feelings and motivations can become more complicated and difficult to sort through..it's not child's play so hopefully everyone could try to be more accountable in their relationship(s) no matter its format. A more recent case of a high school teacher in the early months of pregnancy being killed by her own boyfriend (and likely father of the unborn baby) speaks to the complexity of what may arise for anyone facing a pregnancy (planned or unplanned) or again, being in a relationship. The other headline of the week is that in Plano TX, an estranged husband whose former wife filed for divorce in July, killed  her along with seven of her friends , all in the prime of their lives (5 white and 2 black friends of the woman.) The reminder that no one is completely immune from such difficult events could help us all try to 'listen for clues' and take precautions with safety whether that is locking doors, keeping locations of residences or itineraries secret (especially if in a dicey situation) and much more. Safety Planning 101 could be taught in every level of school since often children are in the mix of a time of difficulty whether there's yelling, erratic driving, in a home or out and about. The home and car are main sources of 'closed quarters' fighting and outplaying of events.

The other factors of people feeling shamed or hurt by another's actions, feeling abandoned or wanting to blame someone,  not able or willing to plan one's days, years and life in ways that can be fairly negotiated with others as needed, can all factor into undue stress and isolation, not being willing to look at things from a new angle (possibly due to learning challenges or mental health conditions if not lack of education for thinking about complex matters or socialized to keep things on an level playing field.) There are many touchpoints that the public at large could review to help one another feel more at ease with asking for help, finding the right support for others and making a network to assist with smaller tasks or consider options in relationships, living, driving and caring for self and others in a balanced way. 

But back to UFOs, up there and off the ground matters, we are learning to think 'out of the box' and 'off of this world'. The events of Thom and Matt Reed in the 1960s I have covered in other posts here and he has a site, thomreed.info and his annual event Paraween in MA which covers the ideas with others presenting. When looking into his story, I learned of Linda Moulton Howe. Other friends I made 'by chance' in Brooklyn, from Time is Art, told me of NoLiesRadio.org Hopefully we can all tell a few others and help each other become more aware of our inner game of figuring life and choices out as well as the bigger game which keeps life very interesting if not pressingly important. Keep lighting those candles of hope and trust the together we will improve our game here on planet heart aka earth and beyond!
