Activism
Here are some ways that YOU can undermine the Evil Cabal: Firstly, understand that systems of political and economic control are heavily dependent on the acquiescence, cooperation, and participation of many millions of people. Furthermore, you must recognize that taking it upon yourself to assemble and collate every possible fact and insight into every conspiracy and every nasty event is self-destructive. That is, by becoming a library of terrible truths, you are willfully imposing upon yourself a subtle but powerful form of mental slavery.
This past Friday in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province, Hazara girls joined young Pashto boys to sing Afghanistan’s national anthem as a welcome to Pashto men walking 400 miles from Helmand to Kabul. The walkers are calling on warring parties in Afghanistan to end the war. Most of the men making the journey are wearing sandals. At rest stops, they must tend to their torn and blistered feet. But their mission grows stronger as they walk.
Several times each day through many years, you have changed nappies (Am: diaper) and each time it stinks. How do you treat your baby? Do you rant and rave at him/her about it? Why not? What holds you back? You want your baby to be happy and stress free and so you focus yourself on that and the nappy change is quickly done. You go into love and stay there and the shit just doesn’t disturb you. It is now time to change the nappies of the politicians who have sold themselves to the bankers. For many decades they have been shitting on the rest of humanity because no-one has changed their nappies in love. Now we are going to do it.
Fighting back against the Trump administration’s “vile” new policy of separating young migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, the ACLU is launching “Families Belong Together” rallies at immigration enforcement offices nationwide on Friday in an urgent effort to “end this practice for good.”
Hoisting signs that read “The War Economy Is Immoral” and “Ban Killer Drones,” demonstrators gathered at the capitol buildings of New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, and several other states to denounce a militaristic system that profits “every time a bomb is dropped on innocent people.” Hundreds have been arrested.
National Football League (NFL) team owners were widely rebuked Wednesday for a new policy to penalize professional football teams whose players exercise their right to protest after athletes across the league locked arms, raised fists, or knelt during the national anthem the past two seasons to support a movement against racial injustice started by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Using recycled cell phones, small solar panels and a custom application, Rainforest Connection (founded by White) developed an easily deployable distributed network of listening devices that serves as a real-time monitoring system for the forest, uploading data to the cloud and alerting conservationists to the sounds of chainsaws.
Start improving the world by improving yourself. Be a better human. It’s the most surefire, realistic, pragmatic way you can make an immediate difference in the world. Own your life. Take responsibility for your hardships and challenges.
Here are just some of the reasons you should attend tonight’s 30-minute prayer/intention circle: Prayers have been proven by science to heal. Groups amplify the results. You will personally benefit by participating. Prayers for peace are needed now more than ever. Praying with others brings us all closer together as a global community. Group prayer and intention for a peaceful, loving world is the ONLY way it will happen…
As internet freedom supporters in the Senate attempt to force a vote to reverse the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) unpopular repeal of net neutrality rules, dozens of prominent websites went on “red alert” in support of the protections on Wednesday, hoping to prompt users to flood lawmakers’ offices with phone calls, emails, and other messages pressuring them to reinstate net neutrality.
The Earth is a loving mother, nurturing and protecting all peoples and all species without discrimination. When you realize the Earth is so much more than simply your environment, you’ll be moved to protect her in the same way as you would yourself. This is the kind of awareness, the kind of awakening that we need.
If “the economy” can recover without real people recovering, then whose economy is it really? What can we do about all this? The first thing we can do is to change our mentality and drop the shame and stigma that’s associated with not being able to make ends meet.
The non-violent resistance of Indigenous water protectors against the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock has inspired a movement of ‘sacred activism,’ rooting political action in spiritual reconnection.
Activist Tom Hayden talked about the power of movements in finding a path to unity. Unity does not mean lock-step agreement on every issue or detail, it does mean finding an avenue by which to bring our presently atomized struggles for peace, the environment, racial, social, and economic justice together.
Human futures can never be merely about more technology, comfort and convenience. We have to open a space for people to move inward and develop an understanding of their minds at a first-person level. Some futurists think that a future where we can load our minds onto computers will be a utopia. Personally, I think that even if this is done, if those ‘minds’ remains as unconscious and ego-based as the vast majority we encounter on the internet today, all that we will get is a cyber-dystopia. A universe of ranting mental projections raging against… well, the machine. A machine in which we have imprisoned ourselves.
