The world is now seeing the economic uncertainty of the U.S. but for many Americans, it has been apparent for quite some time. Economic despair has been spreading across our nation and it can be seen by the rising number of middle class Americans losing their homes. In some cases, joblessness and inability to pay rent has forced people to live in their cars, shelters, or on the sidewalk.

Richard L. Trumka, Secretary-Treasurer of the AFL-CIO, was one of the featured speakers at the "International Workers Day Celebration" event, held on May 1, 2008, at the National Labor College, in Silver Spring, MD. He ripped into the evils of Globalization and the harmful effects that it is having on the economy and in particular on the lives of working class Americans. Mr. Trumka also charged: "Wall St. has hijacked the economy!" He is the former President of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA)

All around the planet hundreds of millions of people are waiting for events to unfold in the year 2012, that they... believe will bring either the birth of a harmonious new reality... or 'the end of the world.

But what if those events were actually to take place THIS YEAR, in 2011?

In Awakening As One's new film "The Quickening" we will explain why so many people have been experiencing the sensation that "Time is Speeding Up"; particularly since the Earthquake in Japan.

And we will also show how research indicates that this accelerated experience of reality could peak sometime around October 28th, 2011; culminating in a global experience of Unity Consciousness, which would then lead to the experience of a harmonious new way of being.

"The Quickening" will also take a look at the unfolding of current events and how they directly relate to Hopi and Mayan Prophecies, indicating that we are on the Cusp of Great Changes, which signify the shifting of the Age... and the Birth of a New World.

We wish to acknowledge that without the work of these incredible filmmakers, and music producers it would not have been possible for Awakening As One to share its message of Peace and Unity with such beauty, heart and soul.

We invite you to support the filmmakers by visiting their webpages, and viewing their films. We extend our deepest gratitude and respect to the following films, and to all those who assisted in their creation.

Fatal police shootings and beatings, and allegations of torture to coerce confessions have lead the U.S. Department of Justice to launch investigations into local law enforcement across the country. There were 52 criminal civil rights cases brought against law enforcement officers by the Justice Department last year, the highest amount of cases in since the agency began keeping record in 2000. The police are the repression arm of the government. They are simply carrying out public policy. Thousands of people die each year in America at the hands of the police or while in police custody. Only a few cases video recorded on cell phones have resulted in mild disciplinary action. The police have responded by passing laws making it a serious crime to record their murders and beatings so they can brutalize the public in total safety and anonymity. http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/08/scores-of-police-brutality-cases-prompt-federal-investigation/

Finally a member of the corporate media speaks the truth. Of course it's too late, the Titanic America has already hit the iceburg and is sinking.

Some activists and opposition politicians suggested that government spending cuts had driven disadvantaged and unemployed youths to violence. Others including David Lammy and Diane Abbott, MPs for the affected areas of Tottenham and Hackney, rejected the idea that the government's austerity drive should be blamed for the riots. http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2011/08/201189141323759165.html The cuts to social programs and corporate government induced poverty have nothing to do with it. Allowing the international Federal Reserve banking system to loot trillions from the economy in the name of austerity measures has nothing to do with it.

Listen to this information and you will realize that the Federal Reserve privately owned banking system and Goldman Sachs are intentionally driving the American economy into collapse. They want America to fall and they are doing everything they can to make it happen.

"My apologies for not originally giving him credit for the written material. My motives are purely to sound the alarm in a way to awaken the masses to the dangers we most certainly face. Thank you Silver Shield for your understanding ;-)

The dollar collapse will be the single largest event in human history. This will be the first event that will touch every single living person in the world. All human activity is controlled by money. Our wealth,our work,our food,our government,even our relationships are affected by money.

No money in human history has had as much reach in both breadth and depth as the dollar. It is the de facto world currency. All other currency collapses will pale in comparison to this big one. All other currency crises have been regional and there were other currencies for people to grasp on to.

This collapse will be global and it will bring down not only the dollar but all other fiat currencies,as they are fundamentally no different. The collapse of currencies will lead to the collapse of ALL paper assets. The repercussions to this will have incredible results worldwide." - Silver Shield - Top 5 Places NOT To Be When The Dollar Collapses
