We appreciate your continued support & help!

Our Purpose
Our intent is to provide you with timely news and resources from the leading edge of human achievement. The conventional media focuses almost entirely on individual or collective human failure and dysfunction. While this represents only a tiny fraction of the human experience, it dominates the media and therefore molds our individual thoughts and collective consciousness. Since we know that "form follows thought," it is only logical that as we continue to collectively focus on failure, we will continue to create more of the same.

The world faces many challenges and it is important to acknowledge these and deal with them. The conventional press and most of the alternative press are doing an excellent job of bringing these to our attention.

Our intent is to report on events, activities, achievements, project and people who represent the highest and best of human endeavor and what we can achieve, both individually and collectively. We believe that this represents the true nature of who we are.

Our purpose is not only to inform and inspire, but to provide cross cultural models from around the world as to what people are doing to solve world problems and create new options.

Positive News completely shares these aims and objectives with those of GVN. We see the Global Village as those throughout the world who have seen a vision of a new era and are dedicated into bringing it into reality.

The Arlington Institute is developing an information collection, storage, extraction, analysis and display capability for tracking global trends and potential surprise events that we believe is unequalled outside of the intelligence community. Our Large Information Search and Analysis (LISA) tool will bring together by the middle of 2001 a variety of very innovative components -- some formerly used only for intelligence purposes and others not yet commercialized - to provide an "information and knowledge engine" that can globally track emerging ideas around any selected topic from thousands of sources.

This site is dedicated to producing high quality research papers that focus on the political implications of what an overwhelming amount of evidence conclusively points to as an Extraterrestrial presence on Earth that is known by clandestine government organizations who keep official knowledge of this presence secret from the general public and elected political officials.

Health
Maperton Trust

We are an educational charity located in England. We are concerned with the holistic approach to health and we consider that health exists when there is a balance in the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. For nearly twenty years, we have been working to construct multidisciplinary systems that are simple to operate and have now produced a system, proven by trials, to help people with their health problems by sending the health-giving treatment over the Internet. It sounds incredible, but it works and it is free.
