ZEITGEIST: MOVING FORWARD
-
Hi Guys,
In case you have not watched the latest Zeitgeist Documentary I suggest you do so.
The full title is, 'ZEITGEIST: MOVING FORWARD | Free Full Socio-Economic Documentary | Conspiracy Theory Collection' and it can be located here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoEVJQTUqdw
The 'Conspiracy Theory Collection' at the tail end of the title caused me to raise an eyebrow as many people regard this description as questionable to say the least.
However, over the past few years I have noticed that many subjects tagged with the 'Conspiracy Theory' definition have in many cases turned out to be factual.

Surprised no one has commented even though there is over a 100 views! Could it be that they were so shocked at viewing the info/doc they became tongue-tied!

I don't think so, possibly a case of being over exposed to s much over the past year to two years. It seems that there are a lot of tipping points and juggling them all is too much at once.
Apparently in the last year, destruction of Brazilian rain Forrest and clearing of land has accelerated by 40%. We have masses, and I mean masses, who are willing to risk their own lives and those of their children to escape to a country where they think they will be automatically better off. People smugglers who would have been called slavers in the past making profit from insecurity shocks me more than I can say. We need to find a global way forwards;-
Paying the poorer nations to clean waterways and open water, hopefully this will enable folk to stay in their own country while achieving the financial security which the global net hints is available in other nations.
A global security force which literally forces corrupt regimes to either dissolve or be removed, forcibly if needed.
The idea is to enable better health and better education for everyone, everywhere rather than some in a few places, so everyone can live secure and happy, productive lives. I hope we can leave the planet at least on the way to being right. It seems there are too many of us who just want the corruption and stupidity to continue rather than find a new way to support ourselves on this planet. Putting it simply, we are NOT the sole inhabitants of this planet and our continued raping of it has to stop. When I was a kid, we were lucky enough to go to Canvey island for a week in the summer. Did we feel deprived? No. A whole industry has grown up from the developed need to travel to far flung parts of the world which has brought us a lot of grief due to the ability of pathogens to be transported with travelers.
We have become the Locust's that destroy crops and a plague on the planet, how we go forward is up to us but we need to have those on both sides of the arguments, those with interests and financial incentives have to be removed from the decision making process.
Noli Illegitemi Carborundum.
No, I am not an eco extremist, we need to look at ALL the ways forward rather than just meekly walk into the pit like Sheep. Did you know that even Sheep are not that stupid?
Mike, what you linked is a huge thing to take in but I agree with you, we need change. Now.
Sorry folks, rambling a bit. Difficult to put all these things into a decent format. Mike, sorry if I offended you or missed the point again.

Mike, we are on the same wave length. What you say is accurate, very accurate!
I find many folks take an interest in all things eco when its pointed out to them. As an example, Sir David Attenborough, brought the plight of the earth to the eyes of many and is still doing so at 95! I hope he will continue for many years to come.
One of my all time favourite comedians, George Carlin, said (in a joking rant) that the planet is not in trouble, its the human race in particular along with other species that we are dragging down with us that are.
George said the planet will some day ... 'shake us off like a bad dose of flees' and continue on as it has been doing so over billions of years. The image he conjured up really stuck in my head and his message was so right. We are not destroying the earth, it's our delicate habitat we are destroying. The earth will find better occupants if need be.
I suppose all we can do is to keep nagging on about it even if we are looked on as being a nuisance.

.... I just looked up the translation for 'Noli Illegitemi Carborundum'. Good one, I must keep that to hand for sign offs.
