Awakening News 20120802 Is Coca-Cola Being Thrown Out of Bolivia on December 21, 2012?

Is Coca-Cola Being Thrown Out of Bolivia on December 21, 2012?
Stephen: This story has become more bizarre as the day has evolved. And although it may yet prove to be another Icelandic situation (where possibly misleading reports suggested one thing – that mortgage forgiveness had been declared – but the local government could, or would, not confirm that this was the case) something tells me this one may have some underlying thread of truth to it…
First up, True Activist, see Story 1 below (Thanks to Les), reported that Coca-Cola was being ‘told’ to leave Bolivia by December 21, this year.
According to that report, the country’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, David Choquehuanca, announced this was a decision which had been made to celebrate the end of the Mayan calendar – signifying the end of capitalism.
Then, in an surprising move, Forbes.com also ran a similar story, in great detail. Also quoting Mr Choquehuanca, and running a large photo of him. See Story 2 below.
Then, later today, The Huffington Post – Story 3 – came out with an opposing story saying that the Bolivian government had said that this view – that Coca Cola would leave Bolivia by December 21 – was the Foreign Minister’s personal wish and/or that this had been taken ‘out of context’. Interestingly, The Huffington Post story also linked the Mayan calendar to ‘the end of the world†and the word ‘ apocalypse’.
Yet, something tells me that there could very well be some substance to the first story – in light of the ever-rising world consciousness and the forward-thinking ways of the BRICS group (which includes many South American countries) but that this ‘news’ wasn’t supposed to have been announced yet. Or, at least, ‘someone’ didn’t want it to be announced.
The reason I say this, is because the Foreign Minister still has his job and he doesn’t appear to have been admonished by his party, or his leader, who has gently responded that the original story from the Foreign Minister is simply: ‘his personal wishâ€â€¦ Fascinating,
And so, I have included all three stories for you to read. Whatever is the truth, it is intriguing that both sides of this story have now been picked up and spread very quickly right around the world. In both alternate and mainstream media.
P.S. Please also remember that Mayan calendar researcher and author, Carl Calleman, believes that the Mayan calendar ended on October 28 last year; while many others believe it finishes on December 21 this year.

Story 1: Coca-Cola to be Booted Out of Bolivia
By True Activist – August 1, 2012
http://www.trueactivist.com/coca-cola-to-be-booted-out-of-bolivia
Coca-Cola, one of the planet’s giant corporations, is to be unceremoniously booted out of Bolivia. The announcement was made by Bolivian Minister of External Affairs, David Choquehuanca, who stated that the date chosen, December 21, coincides with the end of the cycle in the Mayan Calendar, the end of capitalism and the start of a culture of life.
Coca Cola will be expelled from Bolivia on the date that the Mayan calendar enters a new cycle – December 21. According to the Bolivian Minister of Foreign Affairs, David Choquehuanca, the decision was taken to expel Coca Cola on the date of the end of the Mayan calendar so as to create a pretext for celebrating the end of capitalism and the beginning of “the culture of life†in community-based societies. The celebration will take place at the Southern Hemisphere’s Summer Solstice on La Isla del Sol (Sun Isle) in Lake Titicaca.
“The twenty-first of December 2012 is the end of selfishness, of division. The twenty-first of December has to be the end of Coca Cola and the beginning of mocochinche (a local refreshing drink),†said the Foreign Minister at a political rally for Evo Morales. “The planets will line up after 26,000 years…it is the end of capitalism and the beginning of communitarianism,†he added.
The Mayan Calendar
On December 21, 2012, the Mayan Calendar will reach the end. Of what? Not the end of the world, as many believe (and one hopes this time round people will not commit suicide waiting for aliens to come to save them hiding in the tail of a comet). The Mayan Calendar on the beginning of the Summer Solstice reaches the end of a 26,000-year cycle, implying the beginning of a new one.
Whether or not this is the end of the capitalist-monetarist model which we see today remains to be seen: the one which has destroyed full employment and replaced it with endemic unemployment, which has destroyed free universal education and replaced it with a business which churns out generations of simpletons every year who after 12 or 13 years at school are unable to read, are unable to write and whose mental arithmetic skills are absolute zero.
This wonderful model destroyed free universal healthcare and turned it into a business (Sorry, Mrs. Brown, do you know how much money you are actually costing the National Health Service? Now, Mr. Brown do you want us to save your wife if she has a heart attack?) For this new model getting a home has to be a mix between a drama and a chimera and not a birthright, a system where job security does not exist, and neither does security on the streets because policing has been cut back so far the towns and villages have been taken over by marauding packs of animals.
As for Bolivia, imagine the health benefits of not drinking Coca Cola. A can contains 50 mg. of caffeine, while 20 mg, is considered enough to be a stimulant of the central nervous system; the gas – Carbon DiOxide, is
considered to be psychologically addictive. The colour is produced by an additive called e-150.

Story 2. Bolivia Set To Banish Coca-Cola To Mark Mayan End Of Capitalism
By Anderson Antunes, Forbes – August 1, 2012
http://www.forbes.com/sites/andersonantunes/2012/08/01/bolivia-set-to-banish-coca-cola-to-mark-mayan-end-of-capitalism/
For most Americans, Bolivia is a third world South American country last robbed by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. However this impoverished nation is making headlines due to its Minister of External Affairs recent announcement that the Coca-Cola Company, one of the world’s largest corporations, is to be booted out of there by year’s end.
David Choquehuanca, the minister in question, explained that Coca-Cola will be expelled from Bolivia on the same day that the Mayan calendar enters a new cycle–December 21. According to Choquehuanca, the date marks the end of capitalism and the start of a culture of life in community-based societies. In order to celebrate that, Bolivia’s government is already planning a series of events that will take place at the Southern Hemisphere’s Summer Solstice on La Isla del Sol, one of the largest islands in Lake Titicaca.
“The twenty-first of December 2012 is the end of selfishness, of division. The twenty-first of December has to be the end of Coca-Cola and the beginning of mocochinche (a local peach-flavored soft drink),†Choquehuanca told reporters at a political rally for Bolivia’s president, Evo Morales. “The planets will line up after 26,000 years. It is the end of capitalism and the beginning of communitarianism,†he added.
It’s already been rumored that Venezuela’s president, Hugo Chavez, will follow suit, encouraging his country to ditch the American beverage for soft drinks produced locally.
It’s curious that Bolivia decided to forbid Coca-Cola in its territory, considering that one of the soft drink’s main ingredients is said to be coca extract (Coca-Cola refuses to confirm that, saying that this is part of their secret formula.)
Whether that is true or not, sales of coca leaf are big business in Bolivia, accounting for 2% of the country’s GDP, or approximately $270 million annually, and representing 14% of all agricultural sales. Besides, coca is legally sold in wholesale markets in some Bolivian cities. There’s even a cocaine bar in La Paz.
The decision of Coca-Cola’s ban in Bolivia came in a time when the country is pledging to legalize the consumption of coca leaves, which are notoriously processed clandestinely into cocaine, and were declared an illegal narcotic by the UN in 1961, along with cocaine, opium and morphine, in spite of its consumption being a centuries-old tradition there, strongly rooted in the beliefs of various indigenous groups.
“Neither the US nor capitalist countries have a good reason to maintain the ban on coca leaf consumption,†Morales has been quoted as saying.
Although it may make sense for them to ban Coca-Cola–which screams America and, therefore, capitalism–it’s not the first time that a US company had trouble to find ground in Bolivia. Last year, McDonald’s finally gave up on the country after being unable to turn a profit for over a decade.
The fast-food giant failure was chronicled in a documentary titled ‘Why McDonald’s Failed in Bolivia.’ The movie goes by referencing surveys, sociologists, nutritionists and historians, culminating with McDonald’s conclusion that their food wasn’t the issue, but a culturally driven boycott.
That wasn’t the case for Coca-Cola, though. According to the company’s annual report, its presence in Bolivia has grown considerably in the last few decades, as in the rest of South America. Since 2001 consumption of Coke products has more than tripled in Bolivia alone.
Still no word if Pepsi will be treated likewise.

Story 3: Bolivia Foreign Minister Predicts End Of Capitalism After Mayan ‘Apocalypse’
By The Huffington Post – August 1, 2012
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/01/bolivia-expels-coca-cola-_n_1729298.html
The Bolivian government does not plan to expel Coca-Cola, the government announced Wednesday. The administration says the finance minister’s comments were taken out of context.
Earlier this month, Bolivian foreign minister David Choquehuanca said that he hoped the country would mark the end of the Mayan calendar on December 21st by saying good-bye to Coca-Cola.
“December 21 of 2012 will be the end of egoism and division. December 21 should be the end of Coca-Cola,†Choquehuanca said, according to Russian news agency, RT.
Following his comment, news of Bolivia’s banishment of Coca-Cola began circulating the Internet, with some saying the minister’s statements represented a “symbolic rejection of US capitalism.â€
However, foreign ministry spokesperson Consuelo Ponce announced Wednesday that the statement made by Choquehuanca was taken out of context and that the country has no intention of banning Coca-Cola.
Instead it appears that the foreign minister was merely revealing his personal hopes.
Unlike the doomsayers who have predicted the apocalypse to occur on Dec. 21, Choquehuanca said he is optimistic that the end of the Mayan calendar will usher in a new and more progressive era — one that will see “the end of hatred and the beginning of love.â€
“The planets will align for the first time in 26,000 years and this is the end of capitalism and the beginning of communitarianism,†he said.
The minister added that the people of Bolivia should opt to drink Mocochinchi — a local peach-flavored drink — as an alternative to Coke products, Russian newspaper Pravda reports.
What Choquehuanca failed to mention, however, is that the Bolivian government’s other drink of choice — a fizzy energy drink called “Coca-Colla†— was given the stamp of approval by Bolivian president Evo Morales.
Correction: In a previous version of this article, it was stated that McDonald’s had left Bolivia in 2011. The fast food franchise had, in fact, left the country in 2002.

Your Assignment & Your Mission ∞The 9D Arcturian Council, Channeled by Daniel Scranton
Your Assignment & Your Mission ∞The 9D Arcturian Council, Channeled by Daniel Scranton
“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.
We are a collective consciousness, just like you. You think of yourselves as individuals having your own thoughts, your own ideas, getting inspiration from within to do something or say something, or even to just think about something. But you are tapping in to the human collective consciousness more often than you think.
We have told you this before, but we will tell you again now that your thoughts do not originate within your head. You receive them, just like you receive all energies, and when you start thinking about yourself as a part of a collective, you realize two things. Firstly, you can help the collective by what it is you put into that collective consciousness, and that requires no action whatsoever on your part. All you need to do is think a thought on purpose. Secondly, you are affected by the collective consciousness of which you are a part. Therefore, realize that what is going on within you may be due to the fact that you are picking up on something that is going on within your human collective and the consciousness you all share.
Once you have these realizations and you start to live accordingly, your life will become easier and better because it will make more sense, and because you will understand that sometimes your role is just to work with the energies that are around. Now, what do we mean by ‘work with the energies’? If there is something going on with the collective consciousness, like for example, a pandemic, then you can ask yourself how you are being affected by it, by all of it, not just the part you are fixated on, and then you can ask yourself how you can help. And we are not talking about making videos and social media posts about your beliefs about the pandemic. We are talking about helping the collective consciousness, of which you are a part, to heal, to raise the level of consciousness, and to have more compassion for those who are suffering.
Because regardless of what you may or may not believe about it, there is suffering that is going on, and you, being a part of a collective, are affected by that suffering. In a way, it is you that is doing the suffering. So you have to start by helping yourself to feel more stable, more peaceful, more at ease. You have to activate the vibration you want to see outside of you, and then you can start to think more in terms of how to be of service to this collective consciousness that you all share as human beings. And you can do this for every single issue facing humanity. There’s war, there’s poverty, there’s hunger, there’s violence amongst individuals. There’s all sorts of issues there on Earth that you are dealing with, and while they may not be happening in your home, or in your neighborhood, or even in your country, they are real, and they are a part of your assignment.
What you can lend to humanity to increase the level of consciousness will always be something that you first tune in to yourself and then spread. So you can tune in to paranoia, to victimhood, to the feeling that you are being manipulated, oppressed, and all of that, or you can tune in to your power, the power that you have within you to transform yourself and to spread that energy of empowerment around to others, so that everyone in your collective can be at peace, at ease, and live lives joy, freedom, excitement and love. And when enough of you see that as your mission, then you can change so much without even leaving the room you’re sitting in right now.
We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”
Good Vibrations from SIRIUS 20120716 Mike Quinsey – SaLuSa, July 16, 2012
Our allies are being bold and you are seeing more evidence of their work to bring out the truth, and to put in action the long overdue plan to clear out the dark Ones. It shall continue and become more widespread, and it is revealing to us who amongst you are still under their influence. It is fear and favour that keeps others under their control, and we are intent on changing such situations. As you are also seeing, political parties from all over the world are revealing their true colours with little compassion or action to deal with the heavy burden being placed upon the people, resulting from the criminal activities within the banks. We shall introduce the forgiveness of debt, as it is clearly the only way to enable every country and those individuals worst effected to recover and start anew. That will come with new technologies and other innovations that will put your feet firmly in the New Age.
The Internet continues to be your best source of information, but people are still taken in by disinformation websites. Dear ones if the information they give does not ring true set it aside, and also if it advocates the use of violence it is certainly not of the Light. Stick to what you have found to be reliable and well tried and tested. In time you will not need as much reliance on the Internet as you do now, as it will not be too long before we can give our own broadcasts. Everything is ready for such advancements, and as usual it is a matter of timing. Your involvement in these matters is important, but if it became a necessity, we would go ahead alone as the changes must soon commence as planned. However, whatever situation comes up it presents no real problem to us, as we allow for all possibilities.
The issues that are presently expressed through religion, will need a complete re-assessment if you are ever to progress. On the one hand you do not necessarily need teachers as all knowledge is within, but because you have not been given the truth it will help to guide you onto the correct path. As it stands you are getting nowhere fast, and still bound by inaccuracies and absolute falsehoods. There are many decent and loving souls within the churches, and their true potential will not be released until they can break away from religious controls. Your time and energy will be better used furthering your own understanding. This is not to infer that all religious teachings are unhelpful, but they are confusing and misleading compared to the truth. You have freewill choice and it will be up to you to decide how your future development proceeds.
We come to you for many reasons and we make a point of informing you that we are all One. We may be from quite different civilisations and in some respects appear different to you, but like you we are experiencing life as you also do for your spiritual evolution. At a higher level there is no difference at all as we come from the same Source, but have simply elected to follow different paths. Like myself as a Sirian, quite a few of the Galactic Federation of Light members are directly linked with you, as you came to Earth from their civilisations to be of service. You will find that “service to others” are the key words once you move out of duality into the higher dimensions. We are One in all we do, not just for the millions upon millions of souls in the Universe, but for all life including the planets, as they also have a high level of consciousness. It is not without reason that you talk of the Earth as Mother Earth, and when you understand her role pay her due respect and gratitude for what she does for you.
There are many subjects that up to now have not been fully explained, as there has to be an appropriate time when your level of consciousness is ready to receive advanced knowledge. It would be no good overloading your brain with material that was too far ahead of your present understanding. Up to now spiritual evolution has come slowly and allowed you through personal experience to integrate it into your understanding. These processes have however been speeded up to hasten your progress towards Ascension. It is because there are those amongst you who have moved ahead, and ready to go much further.
Duality has in some ways sorted out the wheat from the chaff, and we do not mean that in a derogatory way but there is great chasm between those who have advanced themselves, and those who have not. Clearly the time has come for the Ascension of those who are ready, and should no longer be held back. Having the intent to ascend is a start but it must continue with an expanding consciousness. Thus your vibrations are lifted up and as long as your sights are focused on bringing more Light to yourself, you are certain to be one who ascends. That opportunity has been open to every soul, and it is no disgrace if you have not yet reached that point. There is no limit to the time you can take to prepare yourself, and it would not be expected that everyone would reach the same level together. That is where your freewill comes in although you are naturally encouraged to raise your vibrations at every opportunity. As a group your experiences are not complete until the very last soul has returned.
You presently have no way of knowing what a marvellous achievement you have made in having overcome the attention of the dark Ones. They have tried every trick in the book to prevent you ascending and rising up again into the Light. It would be true to say that things were loaded against you, but that was by design and it was known that it would be hard going. However, it was also realised that if you won the battle your gains would be enormous. That Dear Ones is where you stand now, and have achieved a wonderful expansion of consciousness, that will remain with you. Not all ascended Beings have taken the same remarkable path as you have chosen. Now do you see why in your Universe you are looked upon as very special souls. It is not egotistical to accept such adulation, as you are entitled to give yourselves a pat on the back for your achievements.
I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and would confirm that as slow as events are unfolding they are nevertheless taking off, and will continue to escalate until the momentum proves to be unstoppable. We send our love to you Dear friends and fellow co-workers, because that is what you are.
Thank you SaLuSa. Mike Quinsey. Website: Tree of the Golden Light

Oakbridge University – Jeshua Online Message of the Day |
| Many of the brothers and sisters do not believe in themselves. They do not believe in the Christ of themselves. They do not believe in their worth. They hope to get through life as painlessly as possible and not do too much harm to others, but they do not understand or realize their worth. They do not understand whose child they are. As you will have the courage to live life as the child of the Father, you give to them example. You give to them encouragement. You give them a door that opens. You gift to them hope. You gift to them your love. |

Council of Love Monday Email
Who is the Ascended Self?
Did you catch Saturday’s free webinar on Who is the Ascended Self? Due to the high number of participants we exceeded capacity for the live class. But no worries – we’ve got you covered! The entire webinar was recorded, and the replay is now accessible from the COL Community site.
If, within all the tumult, chaos and conflicting narratives running rampant these days, you’ve found yourself becoming a bit distracted from what Ascension’s really all about; if you’ve become confused and unfocused, wondering what’s real; if you’ve forgotten where we’re going or how to get there – this webinar is a must-see!
In addition to a channeled message from the Divine Mother with a powerful energetic attunement embedded within, this chock-full 90-minute gift from yours truly and the COL explores the 4 essential Elements of Ascension – all integral to our rebirth, while in form, into the Ascended Self:
- What Ascension actually is and what it really means to “Live in Love”
- Multi & Inter-dimensional Reality within the Infinite Ocean of Time
- The expanded self – the New You – finally free of Core Issues, embodying the Divine Qualities, Inspiration, Divine Authority and Personal Sovereignty
- The Creation Codes and Universal Law – the operating manual to co-create and thrive upon Nova Earth
And we delve into a Q&A covering many of your burning questions to practical “hacks” for living – and yes, even thriving – in these Ascension times, we packed as much into this free class as possible. We even discussed time-frames – atypical for the Council – that leave little room for any further distraction or foot-dragging!
In the Ascended Self MasterClass, all of these topics and many more will not only be explored in depth, but laid out in a profoundly enriching, life-altering step-by-step roadmap guiding you straight into the heart of your Ascended Self. And as the Council has made clear, the time is NOW!
We are being called forward into our ascended selves right here, right now. We’re moving from conceptual ideas and intellectual knowledge into a deep and practical immersion – one which leads to the full integration and inspiration of us as heart-centered beings, ascended angels in form, on planet. The practical application of the 4 Elements of Ascension becomes a seamless part of our everyday, moving and operating through us in our lives as Nova Gaians – implementers of Nova Earth. This is our Ascended Self in action.
So how do we make this transition from the conceptual to the practical? How do we immerse ourselves in such a way that we realize, claim and live from that fully integrated, inspired space of ascended consciousness? The path is laid out for us, clearly, beautifully, expansively and practically, in the ASMC.
Last week Yeshua began referring to us as the A-Team: Awake, Aware, Ascended Angels in Action. And my friends, make no mistake – if you are reading this, you are a part of the angelic A-Team. And you are ready. Everything up to now has prepared you for this moment. You’re being beckoned from across the eons of time/space/dimension to answer your heart’s call. Can you hear it? Do you feel it?
We’re holding out our hands, the Council and I – along with your soul family – inviting you into the realization and magnificence of your soul design, into the joyous fulfillment of your unique role within our Mother’s Plan, of your most cherished dream within the Divine Dream.
You are ready, and so are we. Come, sweet angel. Join us.
