History of Las Vegas
Robert Maheu, the longtime confidant of Howard Hughes, has died at age 91.

Maheu, a former FBI agent, served as Hughes' right-hand man and alter ego for 13 years. Maheu moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles in 1966 when Hughes relocated to the top floor of the Desert Inn, which Hughes purchased when hotel management asked him to leave that year in time for New Year's Eve crowds.

We werent gambling and we were tying up their best rooms they were justified in trying to kick us out, Maheu recalled in a 2004 interview with the Las Vegas Sun.

Maheu was born in Waterville, Maine, in 1918. After graduating from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., in 1950, he joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation. During World War II he posed as a German sympathizer.

In 1947, Maheu established his own investigative company. He also worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. He later admitted: "The CIA was my first steady client, giving me 'cut-out' assignments (those jobs in which the agency could not officially be involved)." This work brought him into contact with Howard Hughes, and in the late 1950s Maheu worked for him on a freelance basis. This included intimidating would-be blackmailers and obtaining information on business rivals.

Maheu began full-time work for Howard Hughes in 1966. He moved to Las Vegas, where he ran Hughes's casinos. Maheu explained later what his role was in the operation: "When he came here, he wanted to tie up all the property on the Strip to develop it properly. He didn't want it to be honky-tonk or like Coney Island. Hughes was a catalyst in the city cleaning up its act."

After losing his job with Howard Hughes in 1970, Maheu established a new company in Las Vegas called Robert A. Maheu and Associates. In 1993 Maheu published the book, "Next to Hughes," an autobiography written with Richard Hack.

In 13 years serving with Hughes, where he held the billionaire's power of attorney and spoke on Hughes' behalf for all public purposes, Maheu saw Hughes two times.

Maheu had battled cancer and heart problems. He would have turned 92 in October.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle,
and the life of the candle will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases by being shared.

-Buddha-

Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth.

Sutta Nipata

Together with the force of great compassion
in the Three Jewels and their Words of Truth,
And through the power
of the infallible law of actions and their fruits,
May this truthful prayer be unhindered
and quickly fulfilled.

Giving to Those in Need

May I become at all times, both now and forever
A protector for those without protection
A guide for those who have lost their way
A ship for those with oceans to cross
A bridge for those with rivers to cross
A sanctuary for those in danger
A lamp for those without light
A place of refuge for those who lack shelter
And a servant to all in need.

METTA SUTTA - The Buddha's Words on Loving-Kindness

This is what should be done
By one who is skilled in goodness,
And who knows the path of peace:

Let them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in speech.
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily satisfied.
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful,
Not proud and demanding in nature.

Let them not do the slightest thing
That the wise would later reprove.

Wishing: In gladness and in saftey,
May all beings be at ease.
Whatever living beings there may be;
Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,
The great or the mighty, medium, short or small,
The seen and the unseen,
Those living near and far away,
Those born and to-be-born,
May all beings be at ease!

Let none deceive another,
Or despise any being in any state.
Let none through anger or ill-will
Wish harm upon another.

Even as a mother protects with her life
Her child, her only child,
So with a boundless heart
Should one cherish all living beings:
Radiating kindness over the entire world
Spreading upwards to the skies,
And downwards to the depths;
Outwards and unbounded,
Freed from hatred and ill-will.

Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down
Free from drowsiness,
One should sustain this recollection.

This is said to be the sublime abiding.
By not holding to fixed views,
The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision,
Being freed from all sense desires,
Is not born again into this world.

CMKM Diamonds, Inc. Files Lawsuit and Wins Restraining Order Against Former Insiders
TYLER, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As mentioned in the previous press release of 4-20-07, CMKM Diamonds, Inc. has recently received several boxes of corporate records revealing evidence not previously known to new management. CEO Kevin West states, In response to this new information, I have asked Bill Frizzell to file suit in Nevada against some former Company insiders in an effort to attach some assets that I believe belong to the Company. Our investigation suggests that there may be legal action in the future against additional parties.

The Company filed the lawsuit and a request for a Temporary Restraining Order in Nevada state court on Wednesday, 4-25-07. The restraining order was granted on Monday, 4-30-07. The lawsuit and all attachments can now be viewed on the corporate website at http://www.cmkmdiamondsinc.com.

Mr. West addresses all CMKM shareholders: I cannot adequately express the gratitude I have towards the entire CMKM community for their resolve and support of our collective search for the truth. Our best chance of restoring value to the shareholders, as well as achieving some measure of justice, is represented by our current legal action. CMKM is fortunate to have such a significant shareholder base with a large number of passionate and resourceful individuals supporting our course of action. We are confident and optimistic that our goals are realistic and obtainable.

Shareholders have been inquiring how the Company can expect to maintain operations and fund legal efforts given the present shortage of assets and an outstanding share count of over 703 billion shares. These are legitimate questions. In response, at this time we present an overview of the Companys present objectives (with more details to be outlined in future communications).

The near-term focus of management will be to take action in pursuit of the following goals:

Find lost/misappropriated Company funds, and return them to the Company;
Locate those who have wronged the shareholders, recover assets from them, and if appropriate, their insurers;
Thoroughly evaluate all pending contracts and current legal obligations to expedite the Companys return to trading.
In the first of two CEO updates on 4/18/07, Mr. West mentioned an ongoing investigation by attorney Bill Frizzell into the sale of bulk certs. To this subject, Mr. West now adds, We have evidence of the attempt by at least one specific large brokerage firm to purchase for itself, rather than simply transfer, such certificates. However, we will have an expert examining several suspect transactions.

All attorneys hired by CMKM Diamonds, Inc. have been instructed to respond only to the Company and the Frizzell Law Firm. Responding directly to shareholder inquiries does not presently represent the productive use of their time. Please support these directions given to the Company attorneys by not making any attempts to contact them.

The Company intends to keep shareholders informed through the corporate website as events occur.

Safe Harbor Statement:

This news release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27a of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21e of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If George W. Bush and his corporate paymasters had their way, there would be no middle class in this country. They see China, India and Russia as a burgeoning marketplace teeming with new consumers. with Dubya's willing support, they are well on the path to destroying America's middle class in an effort to compete in this huge new market.

STRING THEORY.... Brian Greens Elegant Universe

NOVA: Elegant Universe, The: Soft Cover Book
Item no: NOVA3014

Our Price: $15.95

In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter-from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas-is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy.

So, what do you think of this theory?

Prophecy and Legend

Hundredtoone — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 13:18:33 GMT

The Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor

The Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor is told by many Native nations in the Western Hemisphere. The following is an elaboration from the Peace and Dignity Journeys Confederation of the Eagle and Condor Coordinating Council. The Elders of this continent remember and talk about a prophecy that foretold how we will come together and reunite as one. We are like a body that was broken into pieces and this body will come back together to be whole again. They speak about this in the South, Center and North. Our Elders tell us that we will unite and get our strength back like many arrows that will not be broken. They remember the history to keep the fire alive. We have to come together to be one, to have complete understanding. The main tool used was the arrow because our ancestors all over the continent were hunters. In time they added this arrow to a sacred bow. This bow is used all over this continent and is what we call the half moon. They knew we would be around and this bow would be again in the center, marking the direction that we should take. If we take a step we send this arrow to follow. All of our people have to make a new design for our children and the future generations. They said it is written in the stars and we have to make this work so they can move the spiritual energy. This will begin a new time when we can take the Spirit in our own hands when the Eagle and Condor reunite. Our leaders said that we should not forget to pass this message to our children. We will reunite our family and our people. Their Sun will be a new light. When this is done the people will fulfill their destiny. The pieces will be in place. There is a space for everybody and they will be apart of this prophecy. The majority of our leaders say don't forget to teach our children. All of the last leaders that were in command said to keep the family together. We will be standing in this new design. We will hold this in our home one day. Teach from Father to Son, from Mother to Daughter. It is very simple to understand. The Encounter of the Condor of Urin and the Eagle of Hanan This Prophecy was related during the First Encuentro of Indigeneous Peoples in Quito, Ecuador in 1990. In the unfolding of the life of the Indian Nations, every five centuries produces transformations of both foundations and forms. With these changes, life does not lose its essence. It becomes covered with new skin. The old is rejuvenated. It is nourished with pure energy. This energy Is transmitted by the great spirits of Allpa Mama and Pacha Mama, that Is, of nature and of the Universe, in general. Thousands of years ago, when life Initiated its vital cycle, Pachakamak (God of Time) created Intl (the sun) and Quilla (the moon) out of the union of it's tears and, thus, gave birth to the Runas, to the people, of this continent Appla-Yala and In this birth emerged the Condor and the Eagle, the Kuntur of Urin and the Anga de Hanan, their spirits continually enriching the veins of the Runas of this continent. Their strength motivated the north and south to unite. The union of the people of the North with the South also signifies the union of the Condor and the Eagle. The Condor and the Eagle join their tears from Jahanpacha (the sky) to Ucupacha (the underground.) Out of this union sprang Central America. In this piece of earth was concentrated the wisdom of Hana and Urin. New nations developed, whose inhabitants had the capacity to sow the earth In the middle of a great ocean and convert it into what is today Central America. These peoples, oriented by the laws of Allpa Mana and Pacha Mama, had to pass through difficult situations, one of which was the splitting of its nations into four parts. After this tragedy, the Willak Umus (prophets) instructed their Amautas, Curacas, Arawikus or wise men to create prophecies that would orient and guide our peoples. These prophecies would teach the Indian nations to maintain themselves solid, united and, above all, to search for the most appropriate paths for their liberation. The beginning of the liberation of the Indian people would be symbolized by different prophecies, one of which Is the union of the tears of the Condor of Urin and the Eagle of Hanan. The union of these tears would cauterize our wounds and fortify our spirit, body and thought. The great spirit would open furrows and in each furrow would water its seed, and In each step would spring battalions of men who would bare their chests to fend off the daggers of the enemy. They would reach out with their hands to erase oppression, exploitation and Injustice, and they would write on the huge page of the sky the sacred word of liberty. The union of the Condor and Eagle, according to the prophecy, should occur in this time. The ensuing time period will be born with a new spirit. This new spirit will unite once again the red nations of North, Central and South parts of the hemisphere. It is important to understand the interpretation of the prophecy in order to understand the purpose and scope of the Peace and Dignity Journeys mandate which the intercontinental run is a part. There are many steps that will and are being taken by our peoples in this time. The Peace and Dignity runs are some of these steps. All steps are part of the Vision, Dreams and Prayer that we are making to carry out the instructions of our ancestors and to fulfill the prophecy by active participation in these steps. This is the prayer of Peace and Dignity that the Eagle and Condor Confederation be reestablished again. ******* History of Peace and Dignity Journeys Spirituality is Responsibility! The Peace and Dignity Journeys is not the runs themselves. All the work involved has been thought out and many peoples had dialogues in this regard prior to the idea of the first run in 1992. Many uninformed people thought the run was the only activity of the Peace and Dignity Journeys. That is not so! The vision of our peoples has compelled us to provide a vehicle that will enable our peoples to reconnect to one another through the Sacred fire and strengthen our connection to our Father and Mother the Great Spirit, Mother Earth. Peace and Dignity Journeys is the vehicle we have provided. The Journey never ends. In 1989 a group of indigenous people in Chicago were concerned with the Prophecy of the Eagle and Condor time that was nearing. This time was marked and recorded on the Sacred Stone Calendar of the Mexica People.(This calendar is incorrectly known as the "Aztec Calendar" named by the Anthropologists that dug it up in what it presently known as "Mexico".) The calendar has time spans of 52 year cycles. The last cycle was nearing its end on October 12, 1992. The new cycle began on October 13,1992. Within this new cycle would be a time of rebirth of consciousness amongst the two-legged of the world and the Eagle and Condor Prophecy would be manifested in this time. The formation of a confederation that would serve towards the spiritual reconnecting of our Sacred Fires in the whole of Turtle Island was the topic of many dialogues that entailed how such a task could be accomplished. It was decided that the time had come to move in this direction as it is our responsibility as the descendants of the Mexica peoples to do so. We are not waiting for others to decide for us or for permission from any two-legged. We prayed for the blessing and help of our Grand Creator and our ancestors to guide us in this way. These dialogues were not new to the thinking of individuals in Chicago but were in fact a continuation of many dialogues in this regard by our peoples over many years when all nations of indigenous peoples were passing down the prophecies and legends to the next generations and at a time in this century when the ceremonies and Sacred Fires were being maintained or rekindled for the purpose of our spiritual health and development. The call by many contemporary elders and spiritual leaders to return to the original ways was being heeded by many young peoples from the cities and reservations and all walks of life here in the North. They began their Journeys to heal themselves and increase their understanding of the Sacred ways and ceremonies. We learned about the responsibility and risks many of the spiritual leaders took to protect this way of life that came under attack by the invasion and holocaust of our ancestors over 500 years ago. Not one indigenous nation today can claim that their Original way of life was not thwarted, repressed or banned in some way by the Nation States that were formed without their participation, consent or consultation. Even today legislation by these governments does not recognize our Way of life let alone provide protection for it. In some cases as in the "United States" the Native American Religious Freedom Act was diluted so it has no teeth. So we move forward as we are accountable to Grandfather and Grandmother and the instructions of our ancestors. The dialogues continued and a man named Alphonso Perez had the idea of making an intercontinental prayer that would coincide with the timing of the cyclical change. Spiritual Running would be the method by which this prayer could be accomplished. This intercontinental run would be one of many steps that would reveal themselves in this cycle towards the healing of our peoples and our Sacred Mother Earth. This is why the run began to be organized in the late 80s'. The group of people in Chicago organized and incorporated the Name of Peace and Dignity Journeys. They also put their time and attention to taking on the task of being the main coordination body for the 1992 run. The president was Aurelio Diaz Tekpankalli who had worked prior to all this and to present time on the formation of the Confederation of the Eagle and Condor. The volume of work has taken years. This was not just an activity limited to 1992. It was decided that Alphonso would go in the four directions of the Northern Hemisphere and Francisco Melo would go to the South to find relatives that were willing to put time and attention towards the prayer. Tekpankalli went to many nations and communities as well to pray and hold ceremonies with our relatives that had invited Peace and Dignity there. Each time the elders told him "we've been waiting for you". In each community that still held the memory of their peoples they told many stories of the Prophecy. Each step we have made has verified our vision, dream and beliefs. There are many who have doubt. There have been many obstacles to our peoples because of doubt. We have no doubt in the Great Spirit and the steps we are making. There is no room for doubt in any of this work including the work it takes to make this run possible again. Erasing the doubt is part of the healing of 500 years of genocide and colonization.
