The World has to change! (Part 1)

When I decided to become a Buddhist, aside from the fundamental vows I took, I took certain other “extra” vows as part of a demonstration of my dedication to Buddhism and its philosophy. Essentially, I vowed to always try and live my life with the best interest of others in my heart, mind and actions.

At the time, I remember my teacher saying that if I couldn’t find like-minded people with whom to share doing something beneficial for others, then I had to do it alone. My immediate thoughts were: “I am only one, how can I make a difference?”

That was 2 years ago this month. Today, thanks to the beautiful people in my life; physically and virtually, near and far, I have been made to understand and realise that I can make a difference. I may only scratch the surface, but that’s enough for a little seed to be planted for the future. Slowly, the little seed will germinate. It will grow. It will ripen and one day it will give fruits.

I am only one person but I have a voice and just like me, you are one person but you have a voice too. You and I have friends and those friends have friends who have friends who have friends, and they all have a voice too. Together we can be a united voice; louder than most others.

I know I keep saying this but I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I’m not even a political person. I think there are far more beautiful things in life to be interested in, and enjoyed, other than politics and conspiracy. Yesterday, a friend suggested that I could take up knitting, sewing or cross-stitch. I totally agree. These pursuits would rattle my one brain cell far less than who’s killing who in the world; who’s controlling food supplies, who’s bombing who, which pharmaceutical company is trying to poison us next and which country is the latest target of HAARP.

I could of course just turn my back on it all. Many do. I could just sit here and play Farmtown on Facebook instead of reading articles about the wrong-doings in the world. I could go and get my hair done instead of writing articles to inform others. However, playing Farmtown and getting my hair done is not going to help anyone, and it’s certainly not going to make a difference anywhere to anyone.

My dear brothers and sisters of the world, things here on earth need to change and they need to change drastically. Now is the time to start bringing this change about. The world, as we know it, is about to crash in all respects and we are on a path to self-destruction.

The financial system is about to go into complete failure. The world, as defined by countries, is essentially bankrupt. Between 80 and 90% of all the world resources are practically owned by a 1% elite of individuals. A handful of private companies control the entire world’s food supply. Please read that sentence again, out loud and very slowly.

These companies are not public. They are privately owned. So, the entire world’s food supply is in the hands of 6 or 7 CEOs. Let me put this another way. The entire food supply to roughly 6,775,235,700 of us here on earth is solely in the hands of 6 or 7 people.And, there was me worried that I, alone, couldn’t make a difference.

Not only, but Monsanto, BASF, Bayer Crop Science, Dow AgroSciences, DuPont and Syngenta are slowly moving in and taking over the whole global seed market. This means, that if things continue along this path, our global agriculture will be in the hands of pharmaceutical and chemical companies.

With the rigorous patent and purchase laws these companies are using, soon organic farming will be a thing of the past. We will all be forced to consume biologically engineered products.

Has anyone ever stopped to ask themselves, how the hell this happened? Did anybody, who is not a conspiracy theorist, know any of these facts? Or, have we become a people that just as long as food is readily available in our country, we close our eyes and don’t give a damn!

Well, we should give a damn. This is not a conspiracy issue or theory. We’re not talking about aliens taking over the world. We’re talking about pharmaceutical and chemical companies controlling what we eat.

And, now the Horn of Africa is facing one of the worst famine’s yet. People are dyeing trying to get to food and water; food and water - two essential basic necessities in life. What if WE had nothing to eat and nothing to drink; not even water.

I’m sure everyone, at some point, has had a hospital appointment where you’re not allowed to eat or drink anything for up to 12 hours beforehand. How did that feel? Can you imagine having that feeling 24 hours a day?

Unfortunately, the general truth is we don’t want to deal with any of it. We turn away from it and hope someone else out there will resolve it as soon as possible. Our emotions are so deeply touched by the horrifying images of reality, we close our eyes to it. We’re so saturated by the sensationalism of new journalistic styles of reporting, we put the kettle on when horrors appear in the news, and we skip the terrible pages in our newspapers.

Of course, there’s also the horrifying reality that some would choose to ignore the situation because their skin differs in colour or because their religion doesn’t match up. Or, because well, they’re foreign.

I find it very sad that people judge each other by what the eyes see and by other superficial external factors. Yet, I find it even sadder still when, because of these judgements, we cease to see others as dignified human beings. Equal to - if not, better than us. Yet, fundamentally the same as us.

During my short time here, I have travelled half way around the world. I have met, worked and/or lived among people of just about every country on this planet. I never met one person who didn’t cry the same way I do. I never met one person who didn’t bleed the same way I do. I never met anyone who didn’t have essentially the same fundamentals towards life as I do and that is to live, to work, to take care of the family and to have somewhere to call home.

You and I and them, we are all the same.

Those who wish to keep us apart, do so with excuses:

• They argue that we speak different languages. Well, let me tell you that body language and gestures are one and the same all the world over. I know. I had great conversations in Oman, Dubai, Nepal, India, Bahrain, Cyprus, Portugal, France, Germany, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Lithuania, Estonia, China, Tunisia, Egypt, Spain, Switzerland, and many more countries before I could speak anything of the language. The only qualities needed to communicate with another human being who speaks a different language are desire and interest.

• They argue that we pray to different Gods. I think this is one of the most pathetic excuses there is. The only potential reason I can see for this working, is because it plays on people’s sensitivity about their interpretation and belief in God. It’s not about God at all. Every religion that believes in a Higher being, agrees there is only one Creator. So what if his (or her) name is one thing among one people and another among another?
  I have friends and have also worked with people of ALL world faiths and beliefs. We never argue. We NEVER fight and we don’t go around trying to impose our religious views on one another. If anything, I feel that my understanding of global cultures has been truly enriched by the exchange with these beautiful people. Sometimes, I have felt truly humbled. We’ve certainly never run around trying to blow each other up!

  I’m sorry but religion is not an excuse for hatred. Hold on, do I hear someone thinking: “What about fanatics, fundamentalists and extremists.” Good point. What about them? They exist in every religion. They exist in every sport. Hell, football hooligans have probably caused damage on a more regular basis than religious fanatics! They exist in pop music. That’s why many stars complain of being stalked. A fanatic is a person who is obsessed. Obsession is a psychological condition and not a religious trait!

• When all else fails, they drag out the old terrorism argument. Personally, I think this argument is getting tiring as well. Just recently, the horrific events in Norway, (may the victims rest in peace,) were used as an excuse to try and bring to the forefront another barrier between the West and the East.
  I have two issues with what happened in Norway:

1. 1. 1. When a gunman walks into a shopping mall or a school in the UK or in the US, as has happened, and starts shooting people down at random, does this automatically make him a Muslim terrorist? Does he automatically qualify as a member of Al-Qaeda? (which is dubious ever existed)

         I think we’ve allowed politicians and the Media to plant too many seeds in our heads that shouldn’t be there. We forget, there are still a great number of very sad cases of psychological disturbances out there.

      2. Just after the events took place in Norway, why were world leaders in such a hurry to jump up and down and shout: “Muslim fundamentalists and Al-Qaeda” before there was any investigation into what happened? To me, it was as if every script had been written, faxed around the world and moulded to suit the country speakers.
         The most ironic thing I’m still trying to digest is the new statement from one of Norway’s politicians saying that Norway is tired of cultural diversity. Norway has always been one of the most peaceful countries there is in the world. Why should someone somewhere want to change this? What exactly is there to gain from Norway changing its position on peace with the East?
         Is NATO looking for more allies to go off bombing with? Do they need more cash for their arm supplies? Of course, I’m not being cynical here but it does seem a little strange, doesn’t it?
         There is one last thing I would love everyone to think about please. Despite what the Media reported, despite anything you ever hear, just think about this one question: “Why would any extremist, fanatical, whatever you like terrorist, who so say hates the West so much, bomb buildings on a public holiday when everyone is out of office?”
         Actually, if you look on youtube, there is a great photo reportage that shows the Media actually falsified the images and the events they reported on television.

Nothing is ever really exclusively about religion. It’s more about people. It’s about individual human beings with different cultures and beliefs managing to get along in peace. Aside from my beautiful Buddhist friends, some of my closer friends are Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Atheist, Hindu, Sikh, Spiritual and Protestant. If I have a strong bond with them and we share this beautiful friendship, it’s because we love each other for who we are and not what labels have been assigned to us. Instead of choosing to see what separates us, we decided to opt for everything that unites us. That is what makes us friends.

I’m sorry but for too long, we’ve allowed greed to rule over us. For too long, we’ve allowed hatred to come between us as one people of the same nature; just living in different nations. For too long, we’ve relinquished our voices and given up our rights as free human beings born on a planet that needs love and nurture to stay alive and house us. For too long, we’ve believed the false promises and blatant lies of all those who have only one interests; to get rich by keeping us serving their will.

We fill their pockets, we fund their wars, we kill our fellow human beings for them. It’s got to end. We have to turn the world around. We, the people who still give a damn, have to make change happen.

How?

• Stop giving them your money. Be wise about where you shop and how you shop. Find out who you’re buying from and what they’re doing with your money. I don’t know about you but if you’re like me, then we work very hard for our annual cash supply. So, we should choose wisely who to give it to and whether they deserve it.

• Stop voting for politicians because they look good in Armani. Stop giving them power. Listen to what they say. Do they contradict themselves? Who backs them? Who’s donating to the election campaign? Are they honest?

• Stop believing everything you hear or see on television, on the radio and in newspapers. Ask questions. Evaluate what you read.

• Take back your right to have a voice and express it. Stand united with others who are like-minded. There is strength in Union. Come together like brothers and sisters from all nations, with the common goal of saving the world and life on it.

• Don’t feed hate. Shake your neighbours’ hand; no matter what his or her skin colour is or what he or she believes in. Use social Media to get your voice out there.

• Remember that, unless you never leave your home ever in your life, you too will be a stranger somewhere somewhen. So, try to make strangers around you feel the way you would like to feel if roles were reversed.

• Don’t try and force each others’ ideals onto one another. There’s no need for one ideal to prevail and another to fade away. They can all co-exist with an equal amount of respect, flexibility and mental aperture.

Peace. May your table always have food on it and may you never be without water. May you, your loved ones and friends always be happy and healthy.

May your God bless you always

Parasites, Cancer and Chemtrails

I saw a very interesting article today on Facebook about Cancer and the possibility that it’s caused by the evolution of a new parasitic species that has taken up residence inside our bodies.

Apparently, and according to the article in question, this theory isn’t really new. As far back as 1956, Biologist Julian Huxley claimed that growing tumors belonged to a new species. However, it would seem that his theory paled in comparison with the prevailing one that still persists today, which is that cancer is a consequence of genetic mutation.

What I find curious is that, between 1956 and the end of the millennium, death by cancer represented a fairly small percentage of the population. Admittedly, a lot of data regarding cancer wasn’t submitted, filed or reported either during that time, but I’m sure we all agree we use to hear of it less.

It’s documented that in 2005 there were an estimated 1,372.910 US cases of which 570,00 or so were terminal. The forecast for 2011 is 1,596,670 new US cases and 571,950 deaths expected to occur. Those figures don’t look quite right to me; especially considering that in 2004 there were 7.4 million deaths worldwide.

How can we have a 223,760 new US cases of cancer predicted but only 1,950 newly expected deaths? I know we have new drugs and better cancer management, but we’re discovering new cancers all the time. We don’t yet have a cure. So, the percentages of survival seem a little low to me in comparison to the new cases predicted to emerge.

As a matter of interest, in 2007 there were 7.9 million deaths worldwide and in 2010 cancer became the number one killer globally; claiming the lives of well over 8 million people.

Another little fact that I find very curious is that cancer seems to prefer low income underdeveloped countries; claiming 70% of its victims there. Now why is that?

I was under the impression that our modern day stressful, smoke filled, junk food lifestyles were to blame. So, how does cancer find itself so prominent in societies where life is so much simpler than our own?

This brings me back to the article I read today. Parasites!

It’s long been thought that chemtrails infect us with parasites called Morgellons. There is so much information available on the world wide web, I’m not going to go into details here. If you’re interested, just type in chemtrails morgellons in Google and see what you come up with.

However, I found a very interesting video on youtube about a fibre that was found after a chemtrail blast. The strand looks like no more than a fibre of hair. Yet, under microscopic scrutiny, presents itself as the very parasite it is. The frightening thing is, it appears to have some sense of individualism. It shows a certain intelligence of its own.

The link to the youtube viedo is posted below, but I warn you - It’s not for the faint of heart.

So, if it is true that a new species of parasites is to blame for cancer and if it is true that chemtrails are showering us with parasites, can the two not be linked? I leave you to ponder the question, find out the facts and come up with your own theories and answers.

Success is ... Living well

Vaccines and Autism

After recently reposting an article about Gardasil and its effects on young girls and boys, a friend asked me whether I could write something about the relationship between vaccines and autism.

I’m not sure that I am qualified enough to talk about this subject in great detail; since there is still a lot about autism and vaccines we do not know. However, what I can give you is enough information (hopefully) to make you want to further investigate for yourselves, and once you have investigated you’ll be able to make a formulated opinion of your own.

There has been a lot of controversy over the last two decades or so about the effects vaccines have on children. One of the main accusations brought against pharmaceutical companies is that many childhood vaccines cause autism in children.

If you look around the Internet, you will find information that backs this claim, information that says this claim is a complete falsehood and information that is impartial one way or the other. However, in order to make your own mind up you need to know what autism is and how it comes about in children.

Autism is a brain disorder that affects child development. It usually starts in childhood; continuing on through to adult life. The effects of autism vary. Some autistic children may have difficulty in communicating. Others may have repetitive behaviour. Others still may have difficulty in creating relationships with those around them. Yet, some manage to develop their own methods of communication and blossom into adults who live relatively independent lives.

In 1989, a study by Frith suggested that individuals with autism have difficulties in piecing together strands of information into one singular coherent thread. A study carried out by Carper et al. suggests that the cerebral cortex and the cerebrum white matter is enlarged in autistic children of 2 and 3 years of age; compared with children of the same age who do not have the condition.

In research by Belmont et al, it was found that autistic children create abnormal neural connections within the brain that are thought to be responsible for subsequent social, motor, communicative and behavioural disfunction. I use the word disfunction very lightly, since children with autism are always compared to a control group who does not have the condition and they are judged on the basis of behaviours and attitudes that society deems as “normal”. Yet, who are we to decide what is normal or not. Some autistic children and adults have shown us talents, in a number of fields, that border on pure genius; by societies standards.

The curious thing is that in the 1940s autism was relatively unknown. By the 1990s it had increased somewhat but nothing dramatic. Then, between 1993 and 2003 there was an 800% increase in autistic cases. I couldn’t find any statistics for 2011, but no doubt the number has increased dramatically again.

The biggest vaccine culprit ingredient that has been linked to autism is thimerosal, which is a derivative of mercury, and we still don’t know what the effects are of mercury in the body. However, we do know that it’s toxic.

Now, scouting around I found a few interesting facts, namely that: In 1900 the only vaccine children received was smallpox. By the 1960s, children received 5 different inoculation vaccines and by 1991, they received 8! Hence, the levels of thimerosal in the body increased with every vaccine.

Another noteworthy fact is that pharmaceutical companies started using Aluminum in some of their vaccines. Aside from being highly toxic, it was declared poisonous in every country. Yet, the FD considers it generally safe and has never (as far as known) conducted studies to verify its safety. The side effects are too many to mention; anything form renal failure to incoherent speech patterns to instant death at high levels of exposure. When it’s given intravenously it becomes neuro-toxic and the list goes on.

Some vaccines, like the H1N1, also contained a substance called Tween 80, which is also known as Polysorbate 80.

As I wrote in one of my previous articles, Tween 80 is a drug used to trick the blood brain barrier to open up so that nano-drugs can be carried through into the brain. However, in 2005, it was discovered that this drug can cause hives, breathing problems and a sharp enough drop in blood pressure to actually be fatal. Aside from this, it was found to cause infertility in mice. 

I quote: http://www.whale.to/v/tween_80.html

According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, which is part of the United Nations, scientists from the organization are developing vaccines specifically to damage fertility as a method of contraception. A suggested ingredient for the vaccine is tween 80 (polysorbate 80): “In a preferred embodiment the vaccine comprises oil, preferably a biodegradable oil such as squalene oil. Typically, the vaccine is prepared using an adjuvant concentrate which contains lecithin in squalene oil. The aqueous solution glycoprotein is typically a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution, and additionally preferably contains Tween 80.” (Fertility Impairing Vaccine And Methods of Use’ This application claims the benefit of U. S. Provisional Application No. 60/070,375, filed January 2,1998, U. S. Provisional Application No. 60/071,406, filed January 15,1998.) Exploring Vaccines

Now we know that Tween 80 can cause infertility and damage around the reproductive organs. It’s one of the culprits in Gardasil, which is making many young people sick, paralysed or at worst causing premature death. Generally, we need to be asking whether it’s possible that Tween 80 contributes to developmental problems once it and other nano drugs reach the brain. If the answer is yes, then there would be a definite link between vaccines and neural developmental conditions such as autism.

Freedom? - What freedom?

As you all know, I am not political in any way ... but when I look at world news, I feel that the art of conversation is dead and that when people can’t be bent at will to a will, brute force is the means used to try and enforce and re-vindicate. Yet, is there revenge in causing martyrdoms and death? Can anyone enforce anything on anyone else? Do violent enforcers really think they can teach someone anything by way of beatings, imprisonment and death? Do they really think that they can threaten human beings by using others as examples of what will happen if there's no compliance?

Any government or oppressing body is stupid to think that, in this day and age of “relative” freedom of speech, the information super highway and better inter global communication than ever, people will just roll over and accept everything thrown at them. Martyrs serve to reinforce ideology and give courage to others. In some religions, life after death is more promising so there is no fear of death. In actual fact, on the contrary, it's welcomed.

People, just like you and I, all over the world - and I'm not talking about governments or religious institutions who would maintain the status quo - are constantly looking for philosophies and ideologies of freedom. I use the term "freedom" very loosely. Yet, no matter how flawed this freedom may be "in practice", it has always been something to aspire to. I’m not necessarily talking about all kinds of excesses that come with this “relative” freedom we have, but at least the freedom to travel from one country to another; the freedom to look for a job wherever we’d like to work, the freedom to pray in the house of a chosen Divinity, the freedom to live without fear.

Yet, in reality, there is no such thing as Democracy or real freedom anywhere in the world. We are all observed, controlled, monitored and manipulated by higher powers that be. Our movements are easily tracked. Our conversations can easily be tapped into, and with the Internet, our private data and habitual behavioural patterns are all recorded. From the moment we are born, we are all bagged, tagged, numbered and accounted for.

Maybe in the East, there are still people who manage to escape from the system; but as soon as they need something from the system, their fate is sealed. In Holland now, we even have human chipping; reducing us to nothing more than a local pet that once lost can be found by GPS.

In all countries, without exception, we can only speak out to a certain point before our jobs, homes, families and lives are put on the line. And, unfortunately, we all depend on a job to have a home, raise a family and live life in our modern world of commodities and materialism.

The only “relative” freedom we all have, as human beings, is our freedom of choice and our freedom of will. Yet, the older I get the more I realise that many of our “standard” choices are already being manipulated for us, and much of our free will is curbed at the onset for fear of the consequences.

Moreover I’m beginning to come to the conclusion that we’ve become (generally) such a lazy society, we just allow ourselves to be steered one way or the other by way of all the propaganda that’s in our face 24/7.

It would appear that over the decades, and maybe with the advent of television and radio, we’ve become so accustomed to being spoon fed what “we should or shouldn’t do, have or be” that now we just sit back and let it come at us; without even questioning why.

In 1989, we were all shocked by the horror of students being attacked and massacred in Tiananmen Square and yet, when students protested in London they too were attacked by the police. In Syria, Libya, the autonomous region of Tibet and many other countries, people are being massacred, as I write, for expressing their free will and exercising their right to have a free voice.

Why doesn’t the world find this so shocking? - Is it because we’ve become so complacent that if it doesn’t directly affect us, we don’t care! Is it because governments have managed to divide us (as one human nation) to the point of it always being “us and them.” Or, is it because, nowadays there is so much “crap” - (excuse my choice of word) going on in just about every country around the world, including maybe ours, we don’t know where to turn to. So, we don’t turn any which way. We just turn off completely and let them ( the governments) get on with it.

Of course, we’re not happy but we let others do the protesting. We don’t like our governments, but we let others go and vote. It’s always others. It’s because of this attitude of letting others sort things out that we (on a worldwide scale) are in this mess. We’ve become apathetic.

If it’s not our mother, brother, another family member or a high profile person that’s being brutally beaten, killed or imprisoned without just cause, we just don’t care. I have to question to what point, as human beings, are we prepared to let others get on with it; especially when the ripple effects will eventually affect us all.

The world we live in.

The world we live in.

BOOM!

Silence!

It’s all over!

There’s nothing but dust rising from the ground. The stench of burning flesh mixed with blood would be smelt everywhere should there be anyone left to smell it. The sky would be so filled with smoke that even if anyone survived, they wouldn’t be able to breathe.

No cars, no trains, no motorways and no planes. No food, no water, no crops no takeaways. No trees, no flowers, no animals and no humans to be found. Just silence and complete darkness.

Where once there stood magnificent buildings steeped in history, now lies ash obscured by a vapour of dust. It doesn’t matter anyway, because nobody’s left to appreciate its architecture and beauty.

Where once there were green parks with people basking in the midday sun and swans gliding along the pond, now amass mud banks covered in splatters of blood mixed with earth and water.

How fragile life is. Yet, we live and behave as if it’s eternal.

We are so arrogant. We think we are the superior race. We think we can conquer everything this world has to offer. We think we can own a piece of this world and whatever we like in it. We even go as far as thinking that we own this world.

On an individual level, we fight for a little piece of it every day. We have the arrogance to think that by buying a house or a piece of land it actually belongs to us. It doesn’t. It never will. Sure, we can have a piece of paper that says we purchased it and sure, we can hand it down from generation to generation, but it isn’t ours. A tsunami, an earthquake, a volcanic eruption or a tornado can take it from us at any moment. So, how is it ours? I ask you, how does anyone come to the conclusion that this earth is ours?

We’re extremely lucky we have the opportunity to occupy a little space, at any given moment in time, on this earth. I don’t think many millions of people know just how lucky we are. But, then I guess life takes on a whole new perspective mainly for those who have suffered loss of any kind through natural, or artificially natural, disasters. Perhaps, respect for this planet occurs mostly in those who appreciate, and are grateful, for what they have; instead of constantly seeking more and more.

It’s preposterous! We are territorially separated with borders and barbed wire fences that attempt to define and separate countries and people. NO country OWNS its land. No human being is different from another.

What’s even more ludicrous is we go to war and fight over land and earthly resources we don’t own nor will ever own. People, wake up and smell the coffee, we own NOTHING. Not one little thing. We don’t even own what we think is our own body. We don’t even own what we think is our mind.
We own NOTHING!

The irony! We own nothing and yet we, ourselves, are slaves to everything. We are caught up in this economic frenzy that urges us to be a wasteful consumerism society. We don’t need it but we still buy it. It doesn’t work, we throw it out and buy a new one.

People are starving, children are dyeing and we feel no shame in stocking the fridge to the hilts and then throwing away everything that goes off. We can’t possibly consume THAT amount of food in a few days but we still stockpile.

We waste so much time, energy and money on futilities. Yet, when it comes to giving to a man on the street, we have none of the aforementioned. Our time becomes precious, we feel too tired to help and well, there’s a financial crisis going on. So, please don’t ask me for money!

How much do we need?

The more we have, the more we want and the more complicated life becomes.

Here’s a perfect example. We own a computer and the computer needs programs. Ah, but then we want to connect to the Internet. So, we need a service provider. The Internet has hackers and viruses, so I now need an anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti everything that will provide a little online safety. BUT ... computers aren’t reliable, so now I need an external hard-drive to keep my data on; just in case. Ah, but external hard-drives aren’t reliable either, so now we need to buy another one to make a copy of our backup. Alternatively, of course we could just buy a whole bunch of CDs and dump our stuff onto that. But, there is a risk we run over the disk accidentally with our chair when it falls on the floor.

Of course, God forbid we should lose anything or the computer stops working. Then, we get into a panic and a frenzy of where and how to get it fixed. Worse than that, we get ourselves worked up into even bigger frenzies because we can’t survive without the Internet, and neither can our crops in Farmville unless we harvest them within their time limit!

We’re completely hooked and addicted.

If we bought a TV, then we needed to have a Betamax. Then, all videos became VHS and now it’s all DVDs, Wiis and Play-Stations (and my head hurts); not to mention the Internet right on your TV set. Of course then, depending on your country, you need a TV license and cable or a great big satellite dish outside your house.

Heaven forbid anything should go wrong with any of the above mentioned. That would mean a huge amount of stress to the customer service call centre, which is actually not located in your region or even in your country. In fact, sometimes, the customer service representative might not even speak your language. They could be as far away as India! Now that’s what I call bringing the world a little closer together.

Oh well, I suppose it gives people something to talk about. Let’s face it, when we spend so much time in front of a computer or a television, conversation and communication skills do have a tendency to die a bit.

Hello!!!! ... life was never meant to be complicated. We complicate it!!!
Our children are hyperactive because of what they watch on TV; as well as the great amount of additives they consume in packed and processed foods. Yet, we cleverly define it as some kind of disorder and pop them full of pills or inject them, because we want a quick fix solution that will work here and now. Of course, we also sustain the growing pharmaceutical industry that is really out to keep us all ill, and legally addicted to drugs, so they can make gazillions and fund underhanded government tricks around the globe.

People, wake up and smell the coffee.

I’m not even going to start on chem-trails, CERN, HAARP and vaccines that are being forced upon us. I’m not even going walk down the road of power, greed and lies.

I just think it’s time to wake up and see how we’re being manipulated as a human race. We’re being turned against each other, as brothers and sisters living on this one planet, by those who would see it fit to rid society of whom they please. We don’t formulate opinions of our own anymore because we’ve given too much power to press and media. We let them spoon feed us what they want.

More to the point, we don’t ask questions anymore!

The big question, though, is why?

Through my eyes ...

See the world through my eyes.
It’s our world. It’s yours and it’s mine. It’s ours. It belongs to everyone.
We spend so much time and energy trying to own a piece of this world, but it’s only ours on loan. We are only here for a short time.
We’re just passing through on this journey called life.
When we die, we take nothing from this world, so nothing is ours to own.
Yet if we kill this world, we and future generations will have nowhere to call home.
The real beauty of this world costs nothing.
It’s free for all of us everywhere.
It doesn’t matter what colour your skin is. It doesn’t matter whether you’re tall or short. It doesn’t even matter what language you speak.
From London to Bahrain, from Paris to Baghdad, from Lisbon to Kathmandu and Tunisia to Tibet, we are one people under one sun, under one sky; living in this world.
We all cry the same way. We all suffer the same way and we all know what it feels like to fear something.
We are not different to one another.
In my world we can live in peace together and share this beautiful world, which is yours and mine.
