Newtown school massacre – life out of balance!

20 school kids die when someone who couldn’t deal with their own pain, decides to go and inflicts pain on others.

Disgusting and my heart goes out to these little kids and their loved ones left behind to grieve.

 The news channels all over the world are a buzz and Obama cries on TV.

 This hypocrisy is disgusting too.

 What is it? Are the lives of American kids more precious then the lives of Afghani kids killed in your drone attacks Mr Obama?

 Are the lives of Palestrina kids of less value, when they are murdered by US made weapons, that no one in the white house sheds a tear?

 And what about the lives of half a million Iraqi kids – killed by sustained American bombings and sanctions during the gulf war. How is it, that the media displays more shock at the massacre of 20 American precious lives then half a million Iraqi precious live – innocent children, still to taste the glory of life.

 How racist is our media that one life does not seem to equal another life?

 I don’t like this, it’s just not right. We need to tremble with indignation at any mindless killing-taking place, and we need to address the root cause of these issues.

Forget about gun control in America since first; it’s never going to happen and second; it’s not going to help.

 When people lose all sight of deep and decent values. When they watch their leaders talk of nothing but money and power.

 When state sanctioned murder happens every day and glorified by the media – how are we ever going to stop these types of insane actions by individuals?

 It’s time for a total change and realignment of our value system

 It’s time to take out all the violence from our media, so we don’t teach children that killing is a way of life.

 It’s time that our leaders practice the ways of the peaceful warrior as a sign of strength.

 Its time that we make our militaries smaller and our education systems, a place where right-livelihood is taught.

 Actions like this massacre at a school in Connecticut should be a wake up call for us – that something is really rotten with the way we live.

 We teach the children by example, and the young man who committed these atrocities, had probably been saturated with violent images from the time he came to the world.

 Another world is possible, a world where we take responsibility – in other words – where we are able to respond in a creative way, in order to eradicate the root cause of suffering.

 A world where the hunger for power is replaced by the power of love.

 So please Mr Obama, stop the blame game and start looking how is it that your government and system of values are contributing to actions that are so out of balance with human dignity and love.

Decoding the Devil (A guide to the brave new world)

Decoding the Devil

(A guide to the brave new world)

GDP – the amount of money the large transnational Companies earned last year in your country.

World Bank – an institution that ensures that the money-rich countries ‘lend’ to development projects is awarded in contracts to Multi-National Companies.

IMF – the institution responsible for overseeing the implementation of structural adjustments in the economies that haven’t gone through this painful process yet.

Structural Adjustment – as if it was taken out of a chiropractic manual, and this is what it is. Forcing governments to stop giving any freebies to the people (taking care of their own population) such as social projects, health and education, while ensuring an investment-friendly environment, for the Multi-National Companies, is created.

Investment friendly Environment – a country where human rights are disregarded, environmental concerns are overlooked and labour rights do not exist.

WTO – the Global gathering entrusted with ensuring that nothing stands in the way of opening all the world markets to the big cashed-up vultures.

Economic reforms – cleverly put, the same as the new buzzword ‘Austerity measures’. Basically removing the last hurdles that stand in the way of selling or handing over to the private sector, whatever some governments, still dare own. Such as water, electricity, education, prisons and health. At the same time insidiously, insisting the poor countries scrap any subsidies and protection the poor may have had. Removing whatever barriers stand in the way of Multi-National Companies taking over a local enterprise.

Austerity measures – one of the latest; more and more and more cuts to public spending, more welfare to banks and financial institution while cutting wages, pensions and any sense of well being to the populace.

The market – the invisible entity that rules the world and manipulates governments and individuals into submission through its powerful mechanism to create and manipulate events. The market is, in fact, a group of bankers, hedge fund managers and Multinational Companies who at any moment can destroy a currency, a local stock market, and the economy of a sovereign country by pressing a few buttons.

Tax reform – making sure everybody pays tax, even the poorest of the poor, through taxes such as VAT, GST, etc. At the same time lowering company taxes, eliminating taxes for the gamblers on the Wall St Casino and creating enough loopholes so, in reality, Multinational Companies do not pay taxes at all.

Freeing the labour market – Is effectively destruction of the unions.  Creating a reality where the working man/woman does not have a voice or representation while lowering minimum wages and discarding the notion of job security. The idea is that over time most of the workforce will be casual employment so everyone can be sacked at will, wages kept low and people begging for jobs.

A threat to national security – any homo sapiens that choose to think for him/herself and see beyond the veil. Anyone that dares go beyond the manufactured consent and claim the right to true freedom and equality.

Foreign investment – giant companies from rich countries buying successful companies in poor countries, due to favourable exchange rates. The other option is companies from rich countries setting up shop in poor countries where they have access to slave labour.

Mobile phone penetration – this one is a new one for me. Coined in India, I think, it’s about the effectiveness of the propaganda to convince the poor that gadgets come before food. You see people who have nothing to eat yet still carry a mobile phone.

Two party system – well, a far cry from being a democracy, it’s really a party. A political system designed to make us believe that we have a choice, when, in fact, we don’t!!! Slightly to the left or right, they end up doing exactly what their corporate masters instruct them to do.

***

This is not to bring you down. This is to empower, share and connect.

Once we are aware, we can make new choices and create the world we want.

Another world is possible - it’s time - !!!

GLOBALISE RESISTANCE

“There’s a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman, and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot.”

Hey, no, these are not my own words - these are the words of the 35th US president John F Kennedy 7 days before he was assassinated in 1963. 

Times have changed in the last 50 years since Kennedy’s assassination and the plot has thickened. Now they want to enslave every man, woman and child on planet earth. Their vision is that we all don the uniform and become obedient foot soldiers of our corporate masters.

In the last days people marched all over Europe, Slowly but surly the dissent against our global masters is gaining international momentum.

Now, without mincing my words with too much up to date jargon let us have a look at what is really happening in Europe.   

Brothers and sisters, what is taking place is daylight robbery -  a corporate assault on the people in order to bring them and their government to total submission.

What the fuck is this talk of austerity measures. None of us are that stupid. Governments have trillions of dollars to bale out the banks but don’t have money to pay pensions?

Ha ha, what a joke, and the sad thing is that many still believe this insane fallacy.

Forget about governments, they don’t really matter anymore. Someone else is pulling the stings, and that someone wants the governments to cut all services to the people, so later on, they can offer these services for a fee. That someone, that faceless monster, wants the governments who haven’t done so yet – to sell our water, electricity, education...all of it – to the corporation. Their greed will stop at nothing and the only thing that will stop them is – us. Yes us, you and me, all of us together.

They want to own it all and control every facet of our lives, and we are saying NO, you can’t have us.

So, they are pushing us further and further into poverty, in order to make us beggars, thankful for the few crumbs they might throw our way to keep us alive.

We do live in a globalised world and what has been globalised is a form of modern slavery.

Now its time we change the equation and globalise our resistance, globalize the revolution, globalise our love and support each other wherever we are.

Globalising love and care for each other through our deeds and action will ensure that we create the world we really want to live in; a world of love, celebration, sharing and caring.

Another world is possible, and it’s time to make some real choices.
