" ... Some prophecy points to disaster, hopelessness and the annihilation of mankind. But other prophecies create a vision of joyful
transformation through quantum leaps into love and light. We are dreamers and we create physical reality through the thoughtforms
we hold. As things stand now, the human race is dreaming a hell. But as individuals and as a collective humanity it is our potential to
dream of paradise and to create the kingdom of heaven on our Mother Earth. Could it be that the pain in our hearts caused by the hell
we have created will spur us on into visions and creations of a world formed in love? ... "

LETTER FROM MY FRIEND ZEKE IN CROATIA:

 

 

Dear George:
This project of our is evolving. What began as an
effort to expand the
ways that we can receive money has morphed into a
way to step up the
resistance. I'll keep you up to date. Things
should start to appear this
week.

In the meantime, here's what you requested:

Verified PayPal Accounts:

Many people have no access to one of the world's
largest payment
processors simply because of where they live.
Eastern Europeans,
Africans and many Asians cannot use PayPal to
receive payment for goods
and services sold online because PayPal, in its
wisdom, deems them
unworthy and unreliable. Having been in that spot
for several years
ourselves, we've researched what it takes to get
a Verified PayPal
account that will allow you to receive money
online. Combining Virtual
Private Network technology with fabricated but
plausible data, we've
created Verified Premier PayPal accounts that are
"located" in Western
Europe where you can send unlimited amounts of
funds and receive up to
2.500 Euro--and the VPN accounts we sell with
them will allow you to
access these accounts without having them
blocked. These are NOT hacked
accounts, stolen accounts or stolen identities.
They are, in essence,
anonymous accounts that can give you access to
e-commerce. For more
info, see http://ecommerceaccess.blogspot.com or
write
ecommerceaccess@gmail.com. (We're also glad to
help those in the U. S.,
Canada and the UK who have had their accounts
unfairly blocked by PayPal.)

Virtual Private Network Accounts:

All over the world, governments, banks, telephone
companies and ISPs are
spying on their own people and customers. Hackers
lurk around WIFI spots
to "sniff" Internet traffic and steal passwords
and identities. What can
you do about these threats short of giving up
your online access?
Virtual Private Networks were developed for large
corporations so that
their employees could have access to corporate
networks from home and on
the road. The best VPN software, open source
OpenVPN, provides two
things of critical value to people today: privacy
and security. First,
an OpenVPN server receives your browsing
commands, strips your IP
address from them and substitutes its own. With
anonymous proxies, the
Web servers that you are browsing can easily tell
that you're using a
proxy. That's not the case with VPN. It appears
to the site that you're
browsing as if you're actually located where the
server is. That's true
privacy. And for security, all traffic between
you and the OpenVPN
server is encrypted using tried and tested SSL
technology. Your ISP
can't tell what you're browsing nor can anyone
else who's trying to
intercept your communications. Hackers and
fascists alike are frozen
out. To get one of these accounts to make your
Internet access more
private and more secure, go here:
http://ecommerceaccess.blogspot.com or
write ecommerceaccess@gmail.com.

OK. That's it.

Do you have a laptop that you keep with you? If
so, I'll send you
instructions for hooking up to our VPN. It takes
about 5 minutes. I need
to know your operating system to provide the most
specific instructions.
If it's Linux, please let me know what flavor.

Our best to you all,

Zeke
