Lakota Women Lead Victory Over Keystone Pipeline Trespassers (Video)

March 13, 2012

Lakota families refuse to allow passage of a convoy of trucks and equipment servicing the Keystone XL Pipeline. Blocking the highway with non-violent resistance, the determination of the Lakota in rejecting the convoy can be viewed as inspiration to all who oppose the destruction of our environment to temporarily meet energy demands. A temporary victory for sure, but an opportunity to revisit the idea of non-violent resistance and an opportunity to celebrate.

Violence or Inaction: The False Dichotomy

March 13, 2012

Sadly, for the better part of history our species has resorted to violence as a rule when dealing with dispute resolution, crime and even things as seemingly innocent as raising children or funding community projects. The system that has been built around us has taught us to punish children, fail students, tax consumers, throw so-called “law breakers” in cages and invade any country who might pose a threat, someday, maybe.

Indigenous Peoples Say No to ‘Disaster Development’ in Sarawak

March 12, 2012

The government of Sarawak is going all out for a new mass-industrialization project known as the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) initiative (www.sarawakscore.com.my).

Counter Measures – Indy Drones Deliver Pirate Internet (Video)

March 12, 2012

We have built a flock of GPS enabled quadcopter drones from components that were originally intended for aerial reconnaissance and police surveillance to create this flying pirate file sharing network. The drones are autonomous and drift above the public spaces of the city as a balletic interactive aerial choreography. Part nomadic infrastructure and part robotic swarm we have rebuilt and programmed the drones to broadcast their own local wifi network as a form of aerial Napster.

An important expose one of Africa’s most twisted rebels, and his impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands. As important, this documentary shows us how modern, conscious people can use their creativity, kindness and talent to create avenues for positive change in this suffering world.

Kaliyuga Here Now? The Real “Dark Age”

March 9, 2012

When such values are systematically sabotaged, then you can say that the dawn of the doomsday has begun. When we look at a harmless beggar as a pest and envy billionaires who routinely destroy the earth, we are inviting doomsday to come.

How To Become An American Extremist In Style!

March 8, 2012

While the possibilities of the future seemed boundless, few of us, including myself, ever considered “political extremism” as a viable lifestyle decision. Astronaut? Maybe. Filmmaker? Sure. Enemy Belligerent? Not so much….

Call To Action: Australian Mental Health Bill Severly Endangers Children and Parental Rights

March 7, 2012

Following the call by ethicists for after-birth abortions and the press explosion surrounding the ‘Euthanasia Coaster‘, new legislation from Australia is now paving the way for children of any age to consent to sterilization — without parental consent. That’s right, if a psychiatrist determines that a child under the age of 18 years is ‘sufficiently mature’, they will be sterilized without any say from the parents. Again, there is no age minimum, as long as they are ‘mature‘ enough.

The Only Direct (True) Democracy in the World

March 7, 2012

Even if you live in a non-direct democracy or even in a dictatorship, you can start taking pride in your own country by doing your part. Start with recycling, preserving water, buy organic and support your local farmer, read the ingredients on the food you buy; only buy products that are made in the country where you live, support your local economy, support your local mom and pops shops instead of the big chains, whenever you can – do whatever it takes to take pride in where you live.

Organic Farmers vs. Monsanto: Update, Petition Comments & What’s Next

March 7, 2012

Last week we posted an open (hearted) letter to the farmers and seed growers who were part of the group (OSGTA) that sued Monsanto. As many of you know, Monsanto has garnered quite the reputation for bullying small organic farmers, filing suit against them, litigating them to no end, and bankrupting them. Witnessing this for years, the organic and commercial seed farms, co-ops and farming groups did not want to be next.

You’ve Felt It Your Entire Life (Video)

March 7, 2012

“Try yourself, it’s not that scary. Try being who you truly are, instead of being a reflection of what society wants you to be.”

The matrix has you.

Ayahuasca – The Vine of the Soul

March 6, 2012

Most people who experience Ayahuasca report some sort of spiritual experience. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to describe the spiritual effects due to the lack of spirit in our language. Western culture is simply ignorant of the science of spirit that is still practiced today in the Amazon Rainforest.

From The Battlefield to Basil: Organic Farm A Haven for Vets

March 6, 2012

For this level of sacrifice and service, we claim to honor our veterans with a national holiday each November, but the reality is homelessness, unemployment, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), drug addiction and depression plague our nation’s defenders and truest patriots far more frequently than we acknowledge. Ex-Marine Sergeant Colin Archipley and his wife hope to change that… with organic farming.

Is Brazil Destroying The Amazon For Energy?

March 5, 2012

“The (Brazilian) President is backtracking on Brazil’s environmental commitments, and will use any means necessary to push through an agenda of expensive mega-infrastructure projects in the Amazon, reminiscent of the military dictatorship in the 1970s,” Millikan says. “It begs the question, who will protect the Amazon…if not the government?”

5 Stages of My Personal Awakening

March 4, 2012

The absence of fear is love. I believe the collective reality in the world would change overnight if love replaced fear in the forefront of our thoughts. And I think love is the secret ingredient to solve all of the seemingly complex issues of our time. I may be wrong about all this, but experience tells me there is definitely something to it.

Costa Rica Joins Call for Drug Legalization Debate

March 3, 2012

“If we keep doing what we have been when the results today are worse than 10 years ago, we’ll never get anywhere and could wind up like Mexico or Colombia,” Chinchilla said in San Jose Wednesday in remarks reported by Bloomberg Business News. There needs to be a “serious” discussion of legalization even if the US disagrees, because Central American nations are “paying a very high price” and “we have the right to discuss it,” she added.

March 3, 2012

“Your continued attack on the worlds food supply, as well as the health of those who eat it, has earned you our full attention,” wrote AntiSec. “Your crimes against humanity are too many to name on one page.”
