What once began as a joke could soon become a reality for California politicians. Popular on social media sites, memes calling for politicians to wear badges of their corporate donors have spread like wildfire for years. But no one took the idea seriously — until now.

Corruption in politics is a hot topic since the 2010 Citizens United ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. The decision has created a free-for-all where corporate and private donations have flooded political campaigns, giving rise to power being diverted from the people into the hands of corporations and a wealthy few. Transparency has also been muddled by the ruling since corporations can now legally shield their donations from being disclosed to the public.

Mexico’s unique and treasured native corn varieties could be under threat as Monsanto, the world’s largest seed producer, vies to plant genetically modified (GMO) corn in the country.

In August 2015, a Mexican judged overturned a September 2013 ban on GMO corn, thus opening more business opportunities for Monsanto and other agribusinesses pending favorable later court decisions. Monsanto even announced in October 2015 that it was seeking to double its sales in the country over the next five years.

Why try to be like anyone else? You are who you are; there was only one of you created. You are unique, special and have qualities that no other human on this Earth-plane has ever or will ever possess. ~ Creator

As you clear blockages from the electrical circuits in your body, your ability to tune into God Source, your Higher Self and Spirit Guides will increase.

Know that every moment in your life, you are at the wheel. You have the free will to choose the emotions and events you wish to experience. Although you are somewhat hampered due to the rules of your universe and interactions with other Beings, you still choose how to react in every situation.

We suggest you work diligently to increase your ability to love all Beings and experiences unconditionally, without any form of judgment. Allow all to be. Just as you are desirous of the ability to express your free will to do what you choose, allow others the same freedom.

Be careful not to judge the choices of others, for you do not know the full reasoning behind their choices or the growth that can occur between those parties. For yourself, if you choose love, peace and joy in each situation, your body will vibrationally increase and your experiences will manifest in ways currently beyond your understanding. We encourage you to choose an emotion or situation that you wish to bring to the light.

Dear Ones, what would happen today if you went out of your way to do something thoughtful and loving for another, and something thoughtful and loving for yourself? You would be moving forward with a focus on love and balance, which is a delightful intention for any day. ~Archangel Gabriel
