Praise be to God and please be with us.
Well, Praise the Lord!! He has given us another magazine issue to publish. I want to thank our readers and advertisers for the
many e-mails, calls, personal visits supporting our magazine, the
information we print to educate our readers, and my publisher’s
column.
We have a friend, Mr. Don Either, who is now selling advertising for us in an effort to continue this community magazine. Thank
You Don! I would also ask that our readers please continue to support the advertisers in this magazine by giving them your business.
Please tell them that you are doing so because they advertise in
the Boiling Springs Today. I know that not everyone accepts, believes, or wants to believe in the information that we print. However,
if you do, please tell our advertisers; many of them advertise with
us because of the messages we put forth.
I am going to treat each issue from this point on as if it will
be the last and praise my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the
outcome either way. I am going to hit the issues as hard as I can
with the facts to substantiate the issues facing each of us that love
freedom and liberty. At the end of this article I am going to give the
only solution that I believe will save this country at this late date. It
will take much commitment to learning, diligence, preparation for
survival, and personal sacrifice from each of us; more than some
may be willing to give.
Our broken immigration system?
Folks, we do not have a broken immigration system. What we
have is a government that is not enforcing the immigration laws
Fax: 864-278-2691
we have enabling people to come into this country legally. This
Congress and Administration is breaking the law by not closing our
borders and protecting its citizens from the onslaught of diseases,
gangs, and terrorists coming across our southern border. Yesterday, I received a call from a fellow patriot reporting that they were
on Interstate 85 north bound in the Gaffney area when two white
tour-type buses, loaded with what “looked like” Mexican or Hispanic people on board. This group was escorted by a black Suburban
with blacked-out windows and federal plates, and a flashing blue
light, passed them. I realize that I am speculating that these buses
were carrying illegals. I do not think they were Diplomats. Reports
such as this are coming in from all over the state. People are even
calling into radio and television stations with similar sightings. We
already know that each state has been ordered by the federal government to take a certain amount of these illegals, which are being
called refugees by this administration. We just sit back and wonder
why our government is allowing this to happen. They are not just
allowing it; they are promoting it! Remember the “Dream Act”, I
wrote about last month? Look, I am a Christian, and I believe in
helping my fellow man but I do not believe in breaking the laws of
our country. We have a church that is offering to teach English to
those who cannot speak it located right here in Spartanburg. Such
an offer is wonderful for legal immigrant. IF the powers-that-be
are not acting in a responsible manner by not checking immigration
status, then they are aiding and abetting law breakers, simple as
that! I will do my civic duty by stopping in at this particular church to

The following comes from The New American and Breitbart
News. Please keep in mind that the main stream media WILL
NOT report this to any extent. Only the independent news agencies will and we should thank them for the courage to do so, remembering that Andrew Breitbart was found dead last year while
uncovering a scandal within the government.
An intelligence report compiled by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) reveals that large numbers of immigrants originating beyond Latin America are illegally crossing the
southern U.S. border. The report, which was leaked to Breitbart
of Texas by a source within the CBP who spoke on the condition
of anonymity, records the numbers of individuals being caught or
turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents from 2010 through
July 2014. The illegal immigrants originated from more than 75
different countries. Although the current spotlight on the illegal
immigration front is on the large number of unaccompanied children from Central America who continually cross the border into
South Texas, the CBP report indicates that the problem is more
widespread. Among the overseas destinations listed in the report
are Syria and Albania. Smugglers from these countries send
immigrants first to Central America and then northward across the
U.S. border. Among other nations from which immigrants were
caught entering the United States illegally:
• 1,443 people from China were apprehended while crossing the
U.S. border so far this year, with an additional 1,803 people either
turning themselves in to U.S. authorities at official ports of entry,
or being caught attempting to illegally enter at the ports of entry.
• Twenty-eight individuals from Pakistan were apprehended while
crossing the U.S. border this year, with another 211 individuals either turning themselves in or being caught at official ports of entry.
• Thirteen Egyptians were apprehended while crossing the U.S.

  border this year, with another 168 either turning themselves in or
being caught at official ports of entry.
• Four individuals from Yemen were apprehended while crossing
the U.S. border in 2014, with another 34 individuals either turning
themselves in or being caught attempting to illegally enter at the
ports of entry.
• Four individuals from Somalia were apprehended while crossing
the U.S. border in 2014. Another 290 either turned themselves in
or were apprehended at official ports of entry.
Since it is not possible to know how many people crossing
our border illegally escape detection, the above figures suggest
that many more people from across the globe have crossed our
southern border, including some with terrorist connections or
originating in nations where the current Ebola virus outbreak
has occurred. Breitbart reports that the CBP data reveals that at
least 71 individuals from the three nations affected by the Ebola
outbreak have either turned themselves in or have been caught
attempting to illegally enter the United States between January
and July of this year.
It is usually assumed that most illegal’s caught crossing the
US/Mexican border are South Americans.
You may be surprised to learn, however, that thousands of the
illegals caught crossing the borders are classified as “OTMs”
(Other Than Mexicans). A substantial number of these OTMs are
Muslim terrorists.
Records from a detention center near Phoenix, AZ, show illegals
from Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Sudan, and Yemen in custody.
Former Arizona Congressman JD Hayworth said in an interview, “There are definitely people out there who mean to do
us harm who have crossed that border.”
An Arizona rancher, who lives right near the border, found a Muslim prayer rug on his property. He said, “This is a good indicator
that there’s a whole lot of people other than just Mexicans coming
into the United States.”
“The American public has been kept in the dark about this
whole issue,” said Dave Stoddard, a former border patrol
agent with 20 years of experience.
A Congressional report shows how most Muslims are illegally entering the country. They travel from Europe to the tri-border region of
South America. While there, many of them learn to speak Spanish,
and then blend in with Mexicans attempting to enter the US.
One of America’s most wanted terrorists was actually found
in Atlanta It is suspected that he entered the US by crossing
the Mexican border.
“If we learned anything from 911, it should have been that borders
are important,” said Hayworth.
Look, I’m not trying to frighten anyone; NO, I cannot say that
because I think it is time to be very afraid. It is time that we, right
here in Boiling Springs, do something. As I mentioned earlier in
this article, I have a solution for those who are willing to try. It will
not be easy but the price of freedom is eternal vigilance and a willingness to do whatever it takes, to secure that freedom for us and
our children. This idea, solution if you will, was rekindled when
one of our readers, Mr. Rick Brannon, stopped by our office holding the September BST issue, opened to my publisher’s column,
asking if we were indeed closing the magazine. Rick asked me
what it would take financially to keep the magazine open stating,
“You cannot find this kind of information anywhere else.” I replied,
“At least $1000.00 more dollars a month.” Rick placed $100.00
on the counter with a pledge each month for the same and offered
a challenge to our readers for nine more like-minded people to do
the same. It may sound like I’m begging but I’m not. I am just doing what I told Rick I would and offer his challenge to our readers.

You have to understand that I had truly given up. I felt as if our
message had fallen on deaf ears. I now know that this is far from
the case due to all the e-mails and communications Maria and I
have received from our readers and people like Rick.
The Solution - an organization needs to be formed right here
in Boiling Springs that will work with, possibly spear head, all
the other patriot organizations, first state-wide then nationally
and done in short order! Our goal must be to return America to a
Constitutional Republic as our Founders and Forefathers intended. We need a citizen-watch dog group with enough clout and
strength in citizen numbers to expose the corruption which is nonpartisan. The Tea Party almost got it right; the problem was they
let the Republicans take it over. Maria and I started the Boiling
Springs Tea Party, one of the largest and best organized Tea Parties in this state and country; we watched this take-over happen,
despite our protests. Not if but because, in my mind, God is the
only way for this to happen, we should pull these patriot groups
together, not as one, but as many with one huge voice. Then we
may stand a chance to return to the America our country ought
to be. There are millions of patriots in America, but fractured into
different groups with a small voice receiving small attention. We
need a plan to pull us all together. I am putting forth this idea to
those who want to join in a think tank for ideas, in order to develop
a plan to move forward in an effort to save our country.
If you are interested e-mail me at: upstateprinting@charter.
net or call our office at 864-278-2145, leave a message that you
are interested and I will call you back.
Here is the alternative of doing nothing: we will find ourselves
in a country where we are disease-ridden, hospitals turning away
Americans who cannot afford the “Affordable Health Care” mandate, taxes that no one can pay, schools that teach our children
socialistic views and dumb down to be good little communists, our
Second Amendment rights stripped away, government corruption out of control and accountable to no one, borders wide open,
terrorist attacks increasing, children being taken away from their
parents by government agencies, churches being told what they
can and cannot preach, where our Christian God is not allowed
in schools or any public place, our Constitution perverted and
shredded into a worthless document. WAIT, I think we are almost
there!!! We need action, and we need it now! If you want, or think
you want, to be part of the solution rather than the subjection,
then contact me and we will see what God has in HIS plan for us.
I can tell you this, if we do not change the direction of this country
and I mean in a moral direction, we will see an insurgency in this
country much like the Civil War, such as what is happening in Iraq
with ISIS and is coming with lightning speed right at America. Call
me crazy like some of my friends and readers did when I said that
Obama would be elected for a second term! Well, guess what
surprise, surprise, I hit the nail on the American head! Remember
“if the going is tough (and it is TOUGH) the tough get going”. Are
we part of the solution or the problem?
May God be with us as we are with HIM.

Kagan and Sonia Sotamayor, through the Senate and on to the
highest court in the land.
Once Lindsey Graham has gotten these judges into their
lifetime positions, they have repeatedly made rulings and decisions
which further erode our constitutional and God-given rights.
Question: Lee, if you are elected will you stand against
this administrations use of Executive orders that are by-passing
congress and legislating from the oval office and do you consider
this an impeachable offence?
Lee Bright’s Answer: Only Congress has the power to make
law. The president has no more power to make law than any other
citizen.
The trend, however, over the last fifty years, among Republican
and Democrat presidents alike, has been to increasingly resort
to so-called executive orders to get their way. Over time these
Executive Orders have mutated from being mere directives given
to bureaucrats to essentially new laws affecting the lives and
liberties of ordinary Americans.
This trend has reached a point now where President Obama
blatantly repudiates Congress’ role as lawmaker.

50 Years of Perfect Attendance in Sunday School
Robert H. Horton of Boiling Springs
will celebrate 50 years of perfect attendance in Sunday School on October 5,
2014. His faithfulness began at Mountain
View Baptist Church on Parris Bridge
Road, where he attended for over 40
years, and continues today at Boiling
Springs First Baptist Church, where he is a
member of the Ready Men’s Class, taught
by Jerry Fowler and Javon Robinson.
In 1964, the Sunday School Director of Mountain View Baptist Church was
Mr. Dennis Wall. Mr. Wall implemented
a program of Sunday School recognition
in which those with perfect attendance received a lapel pin for each year completed.
This form of recognition has fallen by the
wayside in many churches in recent years,
yet Mr. Horton continues to collect the pins
with each passing year. Several years
ago, his daughter had the pins framed, and
today they are displayed in his home. On
October 5, he will be presented with the 50
year pin during his Sunday School class.
“My dad has served as a faithful model
of the importance of Bible Study and why
Sunday School is important”, writes his son,
Dr. Brian R. Horton, Senior Pastor of Grace
Baptist Church in Pikeville, Kentucky. “I
am grateful that my dad led our family to
church. He did not send my siblings and
myself to church, or simply drop us off at the
door. Sunday mornings were special and
sacred to our family, and it began by going
to Sunday School, together as a family. I
have no doubts that my personal salvation story is the direct result of the godly
example of both my parents to study God’s
word, and be instructed in God’s word,
through Sunday School. The faithfulness
my dad has displayed for 50 years is the
type of example today’s church needs to
celebrate in order to inspire and encourage
the church of tomorrow”, Horton says.
Representatives from the Spartanburg
County Baptist Network, South Carolina
Baptist Convention, and the Southern
Baptist Convention have also expressed
their gratitude and congratulations. “[The]
unwavering commitment to be in God’s
house studying God’s word every Sunday
for 50 years is more than impressive, it’s
downright inspiring” writes Rick Howerton, Small Group Specialist for LifeWay
Christian Resources. “It is my prayer that
that the church of today begins to exercise
the faith and persistency of the people who
have gone before them, people like you”,
Howerton continues.
Mr. Horton is certainly not alone in his
attendance. His wife of 57 years, Nina Covil Horton, faithfully attends Sunday School
as well, and both are active with the JOY
Group, the Senior Adult ministry of Boiling Springs First Baptist. “One thing our
children could always count on growing up,
was that we were going to Sunday School
as a family”, says Mrs. Horton.

surrounding
Glenn
Springs village, MacTavish could not imagine it. He breathed deeply, gratefully, the forest air as he and Spurlock strolled the lane
and mounted the hillside path to the shaded resting plot. Sunlight
streamed sporadically through the tall trees, sprinkling headstones
here and there with golden points. But as he surveyed the graves
and the surrounding yard, his reporter’s instincts told him something was amiss.
Half a dozen graves were partially violated, some to depths of
two or three feet, though none to the level of the caskets. These
holes were still open, waiting for the descendants to arrive and rectify the intrusions. This was not extraordinary, since grave robbing,
for certain reprobates, was a way of life. Less explainable were a
number of disturbances in the earth around the perimeter, particularly along a strip of ground immediately above the graves.
“No ordinary grave robbers,” MacTavish observed.
“That’s what I thought. What do you make of those random
diggings?”
MacTavish was beginning to absorb himself in this strange scenario. He replied quietly, “Nothing, perhaps. Everything, perhaps.”
For half an hour they plodded around the cemetery. Finally descending the hill, MacTavish inquired, “Have you found any objects
of interest?”
Spurlock halted in the path and took a pouch from an inside
coat pocket. He produced two marbles, several bits of Indian pottery and a misshapen musket ball of 18th-Century vintage. “Maj.
Ferguson camped not far from here, you know, just before Kings
Mountain,” he explained.
Last, he took out a crumpled ball of paper and handed it to the
reporter. MacTavish opened it carefully and gazed in consternation
at the single tattered page, of standard size and weight. Seams indicated that at one time it had been folded carefully and preserved,
probably in a billbook. Smudged penciling told of years—at least a
decade—of wear. Odd letters were scattered all over the paper but
clustered near the top, where a pair of short lines, each crossed in
several places by dashes, met at a T angle. The letters, mostly in
couplets, might have been some sort of code: RK, SB, GS, UV.
“An odd thing to throw away out here, but I can’t see that it has
any bearing on this graveyard business at all,” said Spurlock. “We
picked it up beside this path, right along here.”
For many minutes, MacTavish stood scrutinizing the paper.
Then he handed it back to the official. “What do you make of the
letters?” he quizzed.
“People’s initials, most likely.”
MacTavish shook his head. “Not people.”
“You mean . . . places?”
The reporter smiled. “Let’s suppose, for example, that the ‘SB’
indicates ‘Spartanburg.’ If it does, then what might these other initials refer to?”
As he reexamined the pattern of letters, a look of enlighten-
10  By Daniel Elton Harmon
ment came over the detective’s face. “Well, I suppose ‘RK’, just
down to the left there from ‘SB’, could be ‘Roebuck,’ and ‘GS’ below
that would be . . . ‘Glenn Springs.’”
“Precisely. Keep going.”
“The ‘UV’ in the center of the page probably would be ‘Unionville.’ And if we assume the top of the paper is north and left is west,
then the ‘NB’ below and to the left of Union, as it’s now called, could
be ‘Newberry.’”
“And the ‘COL’ at the bottom?”
“Why, I figured it might stand for ‘Colonel.’ But I suppose it
could indicate ‘Columbia.’”
“And the ‘AT’ away over here at the left edge?”
Spurlock frowned. “ ‘Abbeville’? ‘Anderson’? That gives no
sense. Maybe it stands for little ‘Antreville’.”
“Try ‘Atlanta’. And notice this small, blurred, circled ‘x’ immediately below ‘GS.’ It’s the only ‘x’ on the paper, isn’t it? And the crossed
lines in the vicinity of Spartanburg and Roebuck—railroads.”
Spurlock scratched his head. “Funny sort of a map, if that’s
what it really is.”
“You’re right. It isn’t the sort of map anyone from these parts
would be likely to make. No reason for these distant references to
Columbia and Atlanta.”
“Unless it was made by a stranger who wanted to remember
the overall bearings.”
“Exactly. So we can determine that if it’s a map, it was penciled by an outsider—and some years ago, I would say, from the
faded lettering and the worn seams. And we can judge that it was
kept neatly folded and pressed for a long time, but recently it was
crumpled and discarded. Suggestive, don’t you think?”
“You’ve gotten beyond me,” said Spurlock. “What do you see
in this?”
“Before we draw conclusions, there might be even more information for us to glean here. We can see—not just by the grouping
of locations but by the railroad markings and the little ‘x’, that the focus of the map is here in Spartanburg County. Would you agree?”
Spurlock nodded.
“Why, then, these particular identifiers to the south: Union,
Newberry, Columbia? Why not towns to the east—Chester or Yorkville—or to the north?”
The lawman was nonplussed. “What do you make of it, Mr.
MacTavish?”
“I think it suggests the mapmaker’s direction of travel. This individual spent some time in this vicinity and then moved southward
toward Columbia, probably by train or stage. Alternatively, the person may have come up here from Columbia by way of Newberry and
Union—again, by train or by stage. . . . Or could it have been. . . ?”
The chronicler’s jaw dropped as a greater meaning of the
map suddenly took form in his mind. For several minutes longer he
stared blankly at the paper, absorbed in thought, while the mystified
Spurlock waited beside him.
“I have to get back to the hotel,” MacTavish exclaimed, turning
to hurry down the path. He called over his shoulder, “Meet me in the
lobby tonight, nine o’clock. Bring a couple of your men.”
By 10, the four of them—MacTavish, Spurlock and two other
officers—were secreted in shrubs at the foot of the path that led up
to the graveyard. And there they waited in vain as their hours of rest
passed without rest. They shivered in the autumn chill, lapsed into
sleep, shook one another awake, and from time to time conversed
in low voices. MacTavish was the epitome of wakeful silence. Spurlock occasionally attempted muted conversation. He had heard of
the reporter’s savage beating by Mort Kendrick and his bullies up at
Brooklyn. “Are you down here for the healing water?”
MacTavish scowled at the very mention of the sulfuric libation
Boiling Springs Today
of the nearby spring, of which so many came from afar to partake.
“I wonder that the odor alone hasn’t healed me already,” he intoned
mockingly.
“You don’t believe in ghosts and devils and spirits and that
sorta thing, do you, Mr. MacTavish?” one of the deputies inquired,
a trace of apprehension in his voice.
“I certainly believe in the Holy Ghost. No others need apply, I
think. Although. . . .” He reflected. “There were the demons cast out
by Christ. There was the ghostly handwriting on the wall. And there
was the witch at En Dor.”
“The Witch’n Who?” the lawman asked.
“Brush up on your Old Testament,” MacTavish chided. “First or
Second Samuel, and the Book of Daniel.”
Weary hours later, pale light began to brighten the eastern sky.
They understood that their all-night vigil had been for naught.
“Tonight,” MacTavish said, unperturbed, as they parted. “Nine
o’clock.”
The disgruntled Spurlock was in no mood to commit to another
sleepless and likely fruitless night. Yet, the newspaperman’s comportment told him it would be unwise to protest.
Eyelids again were heavy among the watchers the following
evening. Midnight had come and gone when MacTavish chose to reveal the reason for their secretive presence in The Flat. He muttered
quietly to Spurlock, “Are you familiar with the Arthur tragedy?”
The official remembered accounts of a sad episode at the end
of the war. “Are you talking about the plantation killings?”
“I am.”
It was an evil page from the area’s history. In advance of the
Union Army’s sweep upstate from Savannah in 1865, plantation
mistresses hid their silverware and other valuables from marauding
soldiers and, especially, from deserters of both sides who became
ruthless scavengers. Before Mrs. Arthur finished disposing of her
heirloom treasures, her home was attacked by a small band of ruffians. They bagged all the valuables they found at hand, and demanded more. When she and her house slaves resisted, the thieves
murdered the mistress and one of her servants. At that juncture, a
patrol of Union cavalry troops, part of Sherman’s advance corps,
came upon the plantation house. The criminals dispersed and never were caught.
The meaning of MacTavish’ interpretation of the crude map
now began to dawn on Spurlock. Looters, trending northward as
they pillaged the defenseless state, would have had few clear bearings as to their whereabouts, roaming from plantation to plantation.
Had they wanted to remember their movements, they might have
fashioned a guide such as this. Still, Spurlock could not finish the
connection. “You figure all that has to do with this?”
MacTavish moved his head, but Spurlock could not tell if it was
a nod of assent, a negative gesture or merely the circular flexing of
a crick in the neck from their stiffening postures. “We will see,” the
reporter said. “We will see.”
They had only a little longer to wait for the denouement. Slight
sounds at the base of the hill told of the approach of someone . .
. or something. In the deep darkness, the officers and the reporter
vaguely made out forms ascending the path. A tiny light gradually expanded to illuminate two figures . . . human-like—but were
they living humans? Even at a distance, the anatomies appeared
abnormal. They passed swiftly by the hidden beholders, settled a
lantern atop a tombstone, and after a brief, mumbled discussion,
began to dig with spades. For a quarter of an hour, they furiously
attacked a small area of turf at the upper end of the graveyard.
Spurlock watched them incredulously, while MacTavish looked on
triumphantly with a satisfied smile.
There was a sudden movement among the team of observers. A deputy, acting of his own accord, rushed to the top of the
hill. Another followed, and the trap—to the dismay of MacTavish
and Spurlock—prematurely was sprung. As they converged around
Boiling Springs Today
the stunned toilers, lantern lights bathed the scene. The Glenn
Springs ghosts were revealed ingloriously: two men stripped to the
waist, their upper bodies smeared in chalk and coal, glistening with
sweat.
The miscreants were cuffed and, at MacTavish’ suggestion,
taken to separate rooms at the hotel for questioning. The oldest,
a tall, scar-faced man of 50 whose name eventually would be disclosed as Oliver, refused to speak. He answered no questions and
made no requests. At length, he shut his eyes and lolled his head
onto a shoulder, as if to sleep. Spurlock realized his interrogation
would be futile, at least for the time being.
The younger man, Morgan by name, was only too eager to tell
all—and to implicate his companion as the deviser of their plan.
He never had known the names of the plantation victims, but he
acknowledged he’d been at the scene in 1865—a disapproving
member of the murderous party. He’d watched—powerless, he insisted—as his leaders had punished the resistance of the household with death. And at the sound of approaching horses, he’d fled
on foot with the other robbers through the woods behind the Arthur
house and exterior kitchen. They had evaded capture but had become disoriented and lost. A few, reconnoitering at a small cemetery in the darkness, had buried their loot as deep in the ground
as they could dig, just above the headstone of a central grave. The
sounds of soldiers searching the woods had compelled them to
cover the hole hastily and scatter.
The pillagers never had been able to regroup. Forced from the
area in different directions, they all vanished, their secret with them.
But two, Oliver and Morgan, had stayed in touch and vowed to find
the place where a lost, buried fortune awaited. In the late summer
of 1878, they arrived at Glenn Springs and worked out which of the
several sizable graveyards had been the scene of their long-ago
misadventure. They returned for many nights but were befuddled
by the cemetery’s alterations—for new graves had been dug in the
intervening years, including six from a single family who’d died of
a plague.
Partly to conceal their features and partly to deter inquisitive
locals who might come upon them, they always worked shirtless,
smearing their faces and upper bodies with chalk and coal. In lantern light, they were ghoulish apparitions indeed.
T
he Arthur family had Morgan and Oliver brought up on murder
charges in federal court in Columbia, based on Morgan’s impromptu confession and MacTavish’ logical thread of supposition. Morgan at trial denied everything he had said, however, and
with no actual bounty entered as evidence, the jury had to acquit.
The local prosecutor succeeded in having the two men convicted
of attempted grave robbing, a misdemeanor. Within six weeks they
were released from jail and gone from the state, this time for good.
No valuables ever were retrieved from the cemetery above
The Flat, although for years surreptitious excavations were made
by locals and outsiders alike. Residents of the valley took it upon
themselves to protect the hallowed site. Whatever earthly, misbegotten riches it might contain, they determined, had been laid to
rest effectively in 1865, beneath the sod of “this terrestrial ball”—the
futile, finite realm of all material gain.

Panthers Greg Olsen Puts His Family First
Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen has been at Levine
Children’s Hospital watching over his son’s recovery from openheart surgery. I caught up with Olsen after the season opening win
over the Detroit Lions and he shared what it has been like pulling
triple duty as a husband, father and NFL player. Olsen talked about
how his wife and family are his top priority. Olsen thanked the Panthers for allowing him time to be with his family. He admitted that
times have been tough and that he has had to balance his time.
After leaving the locker room Olsen was headed straight to the
hospital to spend the night with his son.
T.J. Olsen, born in 2012 with a congenital heart defect, is recovering from four-hour surgery, the last of three scheduled procedures for the tight end’s son. T.J. was born with hypoplastic left
heart syndrome, a complex heart defect in which the left side of the
heart is underdeveloped. There is no cure for the condition, but the
survival rate is about 75 percent.
T.J.’s first surgery came two days after he was born, and he
had a second procedure last summer. On Monday T.J. underwent
the Fontan procedure, an operation that connects the veins bringing the blood back from the body directly into the lung arteries.
The surgeon who performed the procedure said T.J. is doing well.
“He was off the ventilator quickly on the first day after surgery,”
said Dr. Benjamin Peeler, Levine’s chief of pediatric and adult congenital heart surgery. “He’s made some good progress.”
Peeler said T.J. experienced heart rhythm issues that doctors
treated with medicine and a temporary pacemaker, which Peeler
said is standard in such operations.
Peelers said most children return home after two weeks following the Fontan procedure.
In the meantime, Olsen and his wife, Kara, are spending long
days at the hospital with both sets of T.J.’s grandparents.
“He’s doing well,” Olsen said. “Some ups and downs, but
mostly ups. ... He’s right on track.”
With all the negative stories coming out of the NFL in recent
weeks it was great to see a NFL player with family values and
someone that had their priorities in the right place. Greg Olsen has
played outstanding football the first two weeks of the season and
off to one of the best starts of his career but more important he has
stepped up as a man, husband and a father during tough times
for his family. Thought and prayers go out to the Olsen family as

Iboga is an ancient shamanic plant medicine derived from
the root bark of a curious tree, the Tabernanthe Iboga, which has
been used for millenia by the Bwiti tribe of Equatorial West Africa
as a ceremonial sacrament. Taken for its vast physical and
psychological healing properties and as a right of passage and
introduction to the spirit world, it opens the third eye and awakens
one to their true spiritual nature. When ingested, the spirit of the
plant awakens, projecting a celestial film within the mind’s eye
of the initiate, teaching experientially through holographic vision
and divine dialog. Also ridding the body of mind-numbing toxins,
and freeing the mind from detrimental programming and limiting
beliefs, this plant medicine offers serious promise as a tool for
Western seekers in our collective quest to break free from the
matrix and reconnect with Mother Earth.

Fluoride and the War on Consciousness
As renowned author and historian Graham Hancock explains
in his banned TED talk, The War on Consciousness there is a
deliberate effort to prevent sovereign individuals from exploring
the vast potential of their own minds. To control a population, the
masses must be programmed through spells conjured up by a
corrupt corporate media, cultural programs of self-destruction, and
the diabolical manipulation of the noosphere. The operating system of the mind is accessed through language, and one’s reality
is a combination of the filters, biases and belief systems learned
from the dominant conversations in a society. Whom ever controls
the language of a society creates the reality for its members.
To further influence the consciousness of human kind in our
seemingly backwards world, the mind is targeted and weakened
by an onslaught of toxicity. Sodium fluoride, an inorganic chemical
compound and toxic waste product of the aluminum industry, is
one of the main toxins used by the elite to increase our susceptibility to subliminal messages and mind control. By narcotizing an
area in the left occipital lobe of the brain, fluoride makes people

16  •
The pineal gland has been at the core of spiritual traditions
dating back thousands of years, spanning all inhabited continents.
Prominently carved onto Buddhist statues, ceremoniously painted
onto tribal faces, and deceptively displayed in the Vatican square,
the pineal gland, known as the Third Eye, or Seat of the Soul, is
still shrouded in mystery.
There is a huge bronze pine cone statue
in the Pine Cone Court within the Vatican City.
The symbolic meaning of the pine cone is to
represent the Pineal Gland, which controls the
melatonin in your body and is shaped like a
pine cone, hence the name. Some also call it
the “third eye”. Why then, is it present in the
Vatican City? What kind of meaning does the
church tie to it? In this courtyard off the Vatican Museum, designed by Bramante, stands
a huge pinecone, which was once part of a fountain, and a giant
head of Octavia (Roman matron, sister of Emperor Augustus and
wife of Marc Antony).
It is a remnant of the Old (Constantinian) St. Peter’s Basilica.
The pinecone can be found in almost every religion, there is also
a pinecone on the Pope’s Staff.
One of the culprits to the endless poverty, warfare, and illness in society today lies in humanity’s collective disconection
from their soul and their true divine nature. The key to awakening
from this destructive dream lies in the pineal gland, a crystalline,
cosmic antenna integrating multidimensional life-source into our
five sense reality. Throughout the past few decades however,
fluoride and other toxins have calcified this soul-gate, blocking
many human beings from their divine guidance and limiting their
personal power.

Controlling Degenerative Disc Disease Pain
Living with degenerative disc disease can be difficult but it
doesn’t have to keep you from enjoying the rest of your life.
There are four things you can do to help control your disc degeneration:
1. Stay active to slow disc degeneration. First you need to understand that there will probably still be some pain (it probably won’t
go away completely), but once the pain is under control, one of
the most important things you can do is to stay active.
Exercises will help preserve what function you have left and
they’ll help to increase the flow of blood and oxygen back into
the discs. This helps to keep the discs hydrated and keep them
flexible. Exercise can also promote the release of endorphins, a
natural pain reliever and stress reducer.
2. Reduce lower back stress. Just as it’s important to engage in
activities that will help your back, it’s equally important to stop doing
things that will hurt your back. Here’s how you can modify some
common every day activities that can hurt a degenerated disc:
“All things change except barbers, the ways
of barbers, and the surroundings of barbers.
These never change.” - Mark Twain

• Correct your posture and use low back supports. Degenerated
discs usually hurt more when you’re sitting. If you’re sitting and
you’re slumped forward, there’s even more pressure on your
lower back. Sitting upright and using an ergonomic chair with a
good lumbar support can help.
• Change positions frequently. Getting up to walk around for
a bit every 20 or 30 minutes is a great way to relieve stress,
increase blood flow, and prevent low back stiffness.
• Lift heavy objects correctly. Hold the object close to your body
and use the muscles of your legs to lift. Avoid bending over from
the waist.
• Sleep on a supportive mattress. Investing in a good mattress
could be the difference between waking up refreshed or waking
up stiff and sore. Choose a mattress that you feel most comfortable in.

3. Improve nutrition. The health of your spine is often a reflection
of the overall health of your body and a healthy diet plays a role
in controlling the pain from degenerative discs. Two things to
really focus on are hydration and oxygenation. Improve hydration
by sipping water all throughout the day and by minimizing alcohol consumption. Improve oxygenation by eliminating smoking
– or any nicotine.

4. Non-surgical spinal decompression. Many of our patients find
relief from degenerative disc pain by undergoing non-surgical
spinal decompression treatment. This treatment is non-invasive, safe and effectively works to increase both hydration and
oxygenation to the discs as well as reduce bulging and herniated
discs without the use of dangerous drugs or steroid injections.
