The first pictures from inside the prison where the Arctic 30 are being held were released today. A Sky news team gained rare access to the prison and was able to speak to prison officials inside. Watch the short video here and read the accompanying news feature.
With winter just around the corner, temperatures are dropping rapidly and some of the detainees are struggling in the poorly heated cells and lack of daylight. When the reporter raised these concerns with the prison governor, he simply laughed and responded by saying, “In Great Britain your prisons are soft.”
Yet, despite enduring the difficult conditions inside, it appears that the Arctic 30 are keeping their spirits high. Over the weekend we received letters from Frank, Sini, Alex and Alexandre who have described the various things they do to keep themselves busy for the 23 hours a day they are kept in their cells.
The one thing that is keeping the Arctic 30 going is knowing that there are millions of people like you outside who support them and are fighting to get them out. Sini's letter describes just how much this support means to her and the rest of the group:
“I don't know how to thank you enough for all the support, warm thoughts and love that we get from you. Hearing about all the support that we get world-wide really squeezes my heart and puts tears in my eyes.”
I'll be in touch with you soon about more we can all do to help. Let’s get them released!

Hybrids
There is so much on giants and many older cultures that mention hybrids and giants. http://www.energygrid.com/destiny/geoff-freed/2011/05d.htmlScroll down. See Post 2, scroll down to insert marked 'cave explorer's find alien Mummy' and read on and many more in back posts in energygrid about my take on Adam and Eve which set Rabbi's and others alight and got me into heated debates, also about Moses, Aaron, the Ark and so on. http://youtu.be/K4642t4dvMc .

I just love pigs and this disgraceful treatment of them as depicted in this 2.30 min video disgusts me, again profit before compassion.
When is the best time to see auroras? Where is the est place to go? And how do you photograph them? These questions and more are answered in a new book, Northern Lights - a Guide, by Pal Brekke & Fredrik Broms.
CHANCE OF STORMS: Earth's magnetic field is about to receive a glancing blow from three CMEs observed leaving the Sun between Oct. 20th and 22nd. Forecasting models suggest that the three clouds merged en route to Earth, and their combined impact could trigger a polar geomagnetic storm on Oct. 24-25. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras
SOLAR FLARE! Solar activity is high. On October 24th at 00:30 UT, Earth-facing sunspot AR1877 erupted, producing a powerful M9-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast:
A flash of extreme UV radiation from the flare ionized Earth's upper atmosphere and created a brief HF radio blackout on the sunlit (Pacific) side of the planet. The blackout has since subsided. A CME might be en route to Earth, but we're still waiting on SOHO coronagraph data to confirm this possibility.
Meanwhile, more flares are in the offing. Two large sunspots, AR1875 and AR1877, have 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic fields that harbor energy for strong eruptions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of M-flares and a 5% chance of X-flaresduring the next 24 hours.
In their attempt to defend themselves against the sustained attacks of Simon Singh and Sense about Science WDDTY have made some errors.
They have said that they have interviewed me - I have never been interviewed by or behalf of WDDTY - as below:
"We interviewed – and simply quoted – a medical doctor called Dr Jayne Donegan, who had carried out her own research into the MMR, and concluded that a child with a strong immune system shouldn’t have the vaccine. This was the considered view of Dr Donegan, not us. We were simply quoting her.”
I would be very grateful if you would remove this paragraph from your very interesting blog, rather than WDDTY's having to post a retraction, which will make their situation worse. Thank you for your help. Yours Sincerely Jayne Donegan Dr Jayne LM Donegan MBBS DRCOG DCH DFFP MRCGP MFHom London NW4 1SH, UK T/F 0044 (0)20 8632 1634 [email protected] jayne-donegan.co.uk/
Surfer Fends Off Shark With Punches To Head
Yahoo News/KHON 2 - Surfer Jeff Horton said he 'thought he was going to die' during the shark attack. (KHON 2)
A surfer in Hawaii
has survived being attacked by a shark after grabbing its fin and repeatedly
punching the fish in the head.
Jeff Horton, 25, was surfing near Kilauea
when a fin was spotted in the water.
Twenty minutes later, he was sitting on his surfboard with
his legs dangling in the water when he spotted a dark shape approaching.
Initially he thought it was a stingray, but was forced to
quickly pull his legs out of the water as the tiger shark bit into his
surfboard.
The impact knocked Mr Horton off his board and on top of the
shark.
Holding on to the shark with one hand, he repeatedly punched
it as hard as he could.
He said: "I finally got one nice punch into the eye. I
put some really good hits on it, for sure."
It was only after his knuckle jammed into the shark's eye
that it spat out his surfboard and swam away.
Mr Horton was able to scramble back on to his board and,
along with another surfer, paddled to the shore as the shark briefly followed
behind them.
His 7ft board, which has a teeth imprint, will now be put up
on his wall.
Yaya Toure’s dignified response after ‘very sad’ monkey taunts in Russia
Yaya Toure.
Manchester City midfielder
Yaya Toure was subjected to noises that sounded like monkey chanting as his
side faced CSKA Moscow in Russia
on Wednesday.
Toure spoke of his sadness over the matter at the end of the
game after he appeared to point to referee Ovidiu Hategan to identify specific
sections of the CSKA supporters who were allegedly abusing him.
The midfielder has been widely commended for his inspirational
and dignified response to the incidents and in reporting what happened via
social media and interviews.
The Ivory Coast
international told Sky Sports: "It is quite disappointing when you're
talking about people continuing to do that.
"It is unbelievable and very sad on my part.
"I think UEFA need to do something strong. It would be
nice if we could stop that.
"Some of the songs today were quite stupid and I think
UEFA has to do the work.
"Every time we say something it continues, something
has to be done to stop it."
This needs to be seriously addressed. Yaya is a fine person and a magnificent footballer and athlete. A few ignorant fans can spoil sport in all areas. Please write to the football authorities and other sports authorities requesting them to take firm action over this awful abuse. Thank You.
The new medicine: how light helps fight MS and infections
23 October 2013
Multiple sclerosis (MS), blindness and life-threatening
infections are all being successfully treated with a new light therapy. Phototherapy,
which uses near-infrared (NIR) and blue light, could one day be used to fight a
range of degenerative diseases, including cancer, say researchers who are
pioneering the therapy.
Thus far, the therapy has been tested out only on laboratory animals, but the
results are so promising that it will be tested out on humans soon, say
researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The problem has been in getting the right wavelength at the right intensity and
for the right period, but when it all comes together, the results are
remarkable. In the latest study, the researchers have successfully treated
early-stage symptoms of MS in rodents.
The success follows earlier studies where blindness has been reversed, and blue
light has been used as a successful antibiotic against infections, even the
life-threatening MRSA bug. Ageing and
degenerative diseases such as cancer could all be helped by phototherapy, the
researchers believe.
But right now medical regulators such as the US’s
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are sceptical, and classify phototherapy as
an ‘alternative therapy’. To change that, the researchers are hoping to mount a
major human study.

Drinking coffee halves risk of liver cancer
23 October 2013
Drinking coffee every day reduces your chances of developing
liver cancer. Three cups a day halve the risk of HCC,
or hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of liver cancer. HCC is the third most lethal form of cancer,
but your chances of developing it can be reduced when you drink coffee, new
research suggests. People who regularly drink coffee can reduce their risk by
40 per cent, but the risk drops to 50 per cent in those who drink three cups a
day.
The link between coffee and liver cancer has already been noted, but
researchers from Milan in Italy
have included the very latest studies to confirm earlier findings. The finding
adds to the growing health benefits of coffee. Earlier studies have shown it
helps prevent diabetes and cirrhosis of the liver.

Light has been tried many, many years back, I wrote an article in 1969 about light that was directed at skin lesions and cancers and also eye defects. It was ignored and researchers attacked. I was savaged by scientist and doctors who yelled for my scalp and wanted my degrees rescinded.

This 3 min video is set in Australia where they have reached the first step in gay marriage. Its a great shame that love is classified and not in the feeling realm. There is a love that one can feel for all creation and those who dwell in it. I did a workshop, the first in four years and this is from Middlesbrough.
Sunday 13th
October 2013 - 'When Love Knocks on the Door' - Workshop
with Geoff Freed from London
Starts at 10.00am
- Finishes at 4.00pm - Cost is £
15
There are many aspects of Love. The love of a child, a
relative, friends, one's spouse, parents and pets. Many more can be named. Yet
there is a love far beyond the intellect, logic or teaching. Love cannot be
taught, it can be gained through Life's experiences, however, there is a rare
love, gained through a special invitation in which grace opens the door and one
knows this 'When Love Knocks At The door'. This day will look for the key
to open the door and invite this special love in.
Geoff is full of exciting life changing things to
share and marvel at !! Not to be missed. It is 4 years since Geoff
was last with us (first workshop with us 1986 – and 4 workshops a year
until 2000 plus).
This is a one off special - not to be missed. {By the way £15.00 is not expensive there are other workshops that would charge from £150 to £250.00. This £15.00 just about covered the hire fee of the hall and the train fare. At one time I was banned from doing workshops in London venues because I undercut the 'Big Names'. Mind you in being fair about this I did have a Forensic job, whilst others did workshops for a living. The 'Big Names' write books and world tour and are front line. I preferred to be just a few steps down. I still did Europe and Canada, some 639 workshops, 3,000 patients,436 plane flights, 350 train journies and drove 250,000 miles}
