I see them

I see them walking the streets with their eyes on the ground, following the shadow that the sun casts from behind their backs. I see them walking to the destination determined by something else than their hearts. I see them walking in the dark because they are afraid of the light. I see them crashing a snail on the ground when they run to catch the bus and riding through the town without seeing who is on the bus with them or who is driving. I see them spending eight ours of their day in an unhappy place, smiling the polite smile without the heart, the smile they were taught at age six. I see them turning their eyes away when they see something ugly, something poor or something disturbing. I see them walking away without helping. 

I see them being cold and calculative. I see them being strict about the unwritten rules. I see their eyes filled with emptiness and hollowness, I feel the cold breeze when they walk past me. I see them avoiding their neighbors. I see them confused when a stranger says hi to them. I see them being ready to feed you to the sharks. I see them concerned about protecting what is ‘theirs’ and not giving a shit about what is ‘someone else’s’. I see them being caught in the past and not letting go. I see them constantly reminding themselves about the bad. 
I see them trying to unhappy the happiness. I see them being oblivious. 

I see them trashing the nature, I see them spending millions in a piece of road that is unnecessary. 
I see them talking behind someone’s back and acting up in front of them.

 I see them changing their opinion without ever truly having one. I see them lying, cheating and avoiding the truth. I see them going in to the doctors office for a headache and walking away with a pill that has a headache as a side-effect. I see them going into houses instead of homes. I see them waiting for someone else to tell them what to do or where to go next. I see them getting an education they don't want. I see them stabbing the back of the friend they are hugging. I see them wearing the same shade of gray. I see them making empty promises and being sad when a promise is broken to them.

 I see them blackmailing and playing games. I see them holding grudge. I see them trying to blame someone else for their mistakes. I see them making a big deal out of nothing and turning a big deal into nothing. 

I see them shouting and not listening. 

I see them gossiping. I see them not being tolerant. I see them being alone. I see them not understanding the connection between mind, body and nature. I see them getting back at each other and not forgiving. I see them faking. You see them as being shy; I see them as thinking they’re just better off without you. I see them having the negative set of mind. I see them thinking ‘it could be worse so I better settle for this’. I see them being angry at the traffic jam caused by themselves. I see them buying everything they want – clothes, power, friends, love ones. I see them not knowing what love is. 

I see them. I see them and it scares me for I am them. 

I see them in me. I am You. You are me. 

If I don’t change, will You?

Break the Silence, Save a Life

The schools have started again and hundreds of first graders are out there again. Bullying is still, even in our smart society, a huge issue in schools. How to teach kids about bullying, what it is, how much it hurts and how it affects people even school is way in the past..?  

A teacher had a pretty effective way to approach the issue. She gave the children, a blank peace of white paper, each had one. The teacher asked the kids to look closely at the paper, how clean and white it is and then to make it a ball, twist it, turn it, fold it, kick it and step on it - no tearing apart though. After the beating up was done, she asked the class to each open their paper as straight as possible and say "I'm sorry". Then she told the class to look at the paper how grumbled, hurt and dirty it was and that that would be exactly what the bullied has gone through. And even though you say "I'm sorry", it did not and will not make the marks go away.

Feeding the world with pesticides

" Companies like, The Dow Chemical Company, DuPont and Monsanto produce some of the deadliest pesticides on the planet. These pesticides are slowly killing people everyday and damaging our environment for generations to come.


In the world of GMOs, it's not about actually "feeding the world". He who controls the food supply eventually controls everything. Monsanto is hell bent on world domination, not world nourishment. Roundup herbicide, for example, kills crop soils and encourages the development of pesticide-resistant superweeds. In the terrain of human biology, much the same ramification of death and destruction is happening with the widespread abuse of antibiotics and the alarming rise of MRSA and other "superbugs." Exposure among amphibians and other vertebrate animals to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide has been shown, for the very first time, to actually induce physical changes to the shapes of these animals' bodies. Published in the journal Ecological Applications, the new study reveals once again the incredible hormone-altering power of Roundup, and how even minute exposure to this highly-toxic chemical brew can have disastrous health consequences.

"This discovery highlights the fact that pesticides [...] can have unintended consequences for species that are not the pesticides' target. [W]e are learning that [pesticides and herbicides] can have a wide range of surprising effects by altering how hormones work in the bodies of animals." said Rick Relyea, a professor of biological sciences at the University of Pittsburgh's (Pitt) Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences and director of Pitt's Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology.


Naturally, the use of pesticides, herbicides or other toxic chemicals on our food supply should not be allowed - right? Yet, a chemical-producing corporation, like Dow - the creator of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (a highly toxic pesticide/herbicide) is allowed to legally poison every person on a daily basis. In fact, 2,4-D is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and the third most commonly used in North America. This deadly ingredient was heavily used in the production of Agent Orange - sprayed all over Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Pesticides, like 2,4-D can be stored in your colon - where they will slowly start to poison you to death. For example, believe it or not, when you eat a non-organic apple - you are consuming around 30 different toxic pesticides that have been sprayed on that piece of fruit. The highest pesticide levels exist on strawberries, apples, carrots, celery, spinach, grapes and cucumbers.

The "science" practiced today is a science of domination and control, it has come to mean corruption, dishonesty, greed and death. It is almost never carried out for humanitarian purposes to benefit humankind. Even the entire intellectual property "ownership" system of patents and trademarks is set up to grant corporate monopolies over innovation, thereby denying the people access to such innovations. Intellectual property laws have been twisted and exploited by corporate giants to hijack the innovation process and use it to crush competition.


Science is killing us. As a race, we are committing suicide by allowing science to dominate our medicine, agriculture and military industries. To the degree that we allow scientists to unleash their dangerous experiments onto the world without legitimate testing -- and no, flu shot vaccines are never scientifically tested for long-term safety -- we only accelerate the digging of our own graves. If we don't learn to restrain the blind ambitions of arrogant scientists who are all too easily enticed by the chance to roll the dice in their "let's play God" games, the blind pursuit of science without wisdom will only lead to our total destruction "

Sapceship Earth

Check this I’m sick of the tricks, sick of the purists. For ages we misfits not talking bout what day it is. The world has made us into capitalistic fatalists, I looking around this place but can’t find the people that I came with.

 

Will all the real truly free people please stand up, tell me somebody out there still hasn’t given up. Is this living of ours living up to the vision or does this revolution stop at your coffee cup, huh,

 

Fuck this, I’m sick of the shit, sick of the business, sick of the world tending to be my witness, sick of pretending to be this identity hypothesis, force my metamorphosis, throw my caution to the wind with total thoughtlessness.

 

I and I is a hungry soul, society gone bad but we need not fall so face the demons stealing into these maddening days, find them in the minds eye, take aim and blow them away.

 

We got to purify, from the inside out.

 

Check the bass, check the middle, check the treble but lets take this music to another level. We’re like pebbles dropping into the water causing ripples for our sons and daughters, there’s no borders, just all of us shouting orders.

 

Today it’s spiritual this, spiritual that, tell me you heard this: Presidents talking about a higher purpose. If they’re TALKING about this shit we’ve got to be LIVING it in earnest, become impervious, so the holy wars will never hurt us.

 

One love, one god, one world, one something.. but loads of words that don’t mean nothing. You can’t fool me with fantasy circus circling semblances of sacred service, only want to know what is your holy purpose.

 

I and I is a fighting soul, I am one man but I am you all, so spread the wealth, slake the worlds thirst but know we can only save the world when we say ourselves first.

 

We got to purify, from the inside out.

 

So yes be angry, yes be mad, yes be shocked and awed but whatever the fuck you do don’t be bored. Yes the beat don’t stop this epoch’s not the end, cities chock-a-block but still got oxygen, still got, something to fight for, die for, something to live my life for and I intend to be one of the survivors, but that’s is cos, the buck stops with us, no ifs no buts, no matter who you cuss. If your not on the bus it wont be enough to save you, if you don’t reach the ocean the tide wont turn in your favour and all those leaving planet earth will be like ‘See ya later’….

 

We got to purify, from the inside out.

The power of giving (book by Azim Jamal & Harvey McKinnon)

Giving creates a symbiotic relationship; it benefits both parties. The recipients benefit from your gift. And you benefit personally by virtue of having been a giver. Sometimes it is easy to see the immediate benefits to those you help. Other times, the ultimate benefits of your action may occur many years in the future. What ever your gift, your time, your money, or effort will have a positive impact. The other side of the equation is the benefits to you. They may be visible and immediate, or they may be intangible and delayed. You may not even recognize them as benefits. You may gain a tax deduction. You may feel great about your ability to help. You may receive heartfelt thanks. What ever form the benefits take, giving brings meaning to your life. When you give, you have a chance to make an incredible impact during and often beyond your life. And when you give without expecting a return, you reap even more benefits.

True giving begins with love. Love is the most powerful force in the world, and when we love, we are in touch with our basic and most fundamental human need. Love is something all people need, no matter their background, culture or faith. Many people grow up in difficult circumstances, and almost everyone at one time or another has suffered emotional wounds, dashed hopes, or the loss of love. All people are complicated, and as they try to make their way in the world, sometimes they offend you, hurt you, ignore you, or lack compassion for you. You have probably caused the same emotional pain to others, sometimes unintentionally, sometimes not. This is why giving the gifts of compassion, understanding, and unconditional love is so important. It helps to break the negative cycle in relationships and leads to a revival of love and commitment because when people receive love, they learn to give love. Almost every week you'll hear the word love used in ways that distort its real meaning and power. Remember; "love is a verb." It's not passive. When you give love, you receive love. Real love is is an example of how giving and receiving are so intertwined. True love is selfless. Its free and liberated. Love is timeless, and deep love continues to live even after our death. Forgiving people for past mistakes and hurts is also a way to express love, and forgiveness is a wonderful thing to give. Like you, other people are only imperfect humans.

There is much sadness in the world, but there are also unlimited ways to make a positive difference. You can gain tremendous benefits from giving. Among these benefits are new friends, a feeling of security, better health, happiness and a sense of pride. You are at your best when you make a difference and contribute. You need only so much as an individual to be happy. Therefore, to live your potential and create abundance, you need to do something larger than yourself - thus the need to give. What can you give?

* Love

* Laughter

* Knowledge

*Leadership

* Hope

* Life

* Time

* Money

* Skills

* Health

* Touch

* Attention

*Advice

Being kind is the simplest way to become who we really are. To find yourself, lose yourself in the service of others. 

Thank You

To you who told me to just 'paint it out, what ever it is'

To you who gave me courage

To you who reminded me that missing someone or somewhere doesn't have to kill you

To you who came to me even though we were not supposed to meet

To you who did not care

To you who did not know

To you who talked with me about life

To you who screamed with me

To you who took my mind away to something else

To you who called and asked me to join for a cup of coffee

To you who gave me days off work

To you who laughed out loud 

To you who wasn't afraid to be silent

 To you i never met before

To you who came to me for help

To all you fifteen people listed above and many more, thank you for being there. Even without realizing the influence you had.

: Owl / 2012:

Chief Seattle, 1800's

The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? The land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? 

Every part of the earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect. All are holy in the memory and experience of my people. We know the sap which courses through the trees as we know the blood that courses through our veins. We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters. The bear, the deer, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the dew in the meadow, the body heat of the pony, and man all belong to the same family. 

The shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water, but the blood of our ancestors. If we sell you our land, you must remember that it is sacred. Each glossy reflection in the clear waters of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father.

The rivers are our brothers. They quench our thirst. They carry our canoes and feed our children. So you must give the rivers the kindness that you would give any brother. 

If we sell you our land, remember that the air is precious to us, that the air shares its spirit with all the life that it supports. The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also received his last sigh. The wind also gives our children the spirit of life. So if we sell our land, you must keep it apart and sacred, as a place where man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadow flowers. 

Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. 

Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered? The wild horses tamed? What will happen when the secret corners of the forest are heavy with the scent of many men and the view of the ripe hills is blotted with talking wires? Where will the thicket be? Gone! Where will the eagle be? Gone! And what is to say goodbye to the swift pony and then hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival. 

When the last red man has vanished with this wilderness, and his memory is only the shadow of a cloud moving across the prairie, will these shores and forests still be here? Will there be any of the spirit of my people left? 

We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother's heartbeat. So, if we sell you our land, love it as we have loved it. Care for it, as we have cared for it. Hold in your mind the memory of the land as it is when you receive it. As we are part of the land, you too are part of the land. This earth is precious to us. It is also precious to you. 

All or Nothing

First I thought all or nothing is a bad thing and life sould not be a battle like that. But it is... It is all or nothing.. There is no half-way freedom - you're either a prisoner or a free man. Either you eat or you starve to death. Either you love or you don't. You're life is about you, what makes you happy, you follow that path. No one ever goes to a place where they know they can't be happy or where they get hurt, you avoid it. When you do what you want and what you love, you do it with all or nothing mindset. You make it happen, you dedicate yourself to that, you don't just let it go, you want to fight for it. To me, All or nothing is not using the ESC-button when it doesn't work, it's the opposite. It's putting yourself on the line, jumping off the edge, taking the leap. You have so little time here so why hold back and play it safe. "I want to, but.." well, then no you don't. If you want to, if you love, you make it happen. There are no "but´s" in doing, doubting isn't part of wanting to make it happen and dedicating yourself to your life. 

Live your life with everything you have. Take the leap. Go and say you love someone if you do, quit your job and travel if you want to, move out of that place where you're not happy with yourself, say yes or no - lose the i don't knows and maybes when it's about 'do you want to', there will always be a way to make it happen, open your eyes and see it. And yes, you're going to make mistakes but you are going to do those anyways, playing it safe doesn't take them away. Remember that you are the one who loses the game if you don't truly play it. Play your game, live your life. Don't fall in to the pit of misery, unhappiness and decisions made for you. You make yourself happy, no one else can do that for you. You can be happy with someone but the ultimate happiness is you in you.  

Tuesdays with Morrie part 2. Culture & Dying

We put our values in the wrong things. It’s all part of the same problem. And it leads to very disillusioned lives. We’ve got a form of brainwashing going on. They repeat something over and over again. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. More is good. More is good. We repeat it – and have it repeated to us – over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is so fogged up by all this, he has no perspective on what’s really important anymore. Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. When you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you’re looking for, no matter how much of them you have. There’s a big confusion over what we want versus what we need. You need food, you want a chocolate sundae. You have to be honest with yourself. You don’t need the new sports car, you don’t need the biggest house. The truth is, you don’t get satisfaction from those things. You know what really gives you satisfaction?  

Offering others what you have to give. I mean your time. your concern. Your storytelling.

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to certain something that gives you purpose and meaning.

 People are only mean when they are threatened and that’s what our culture does. This is what our economy does. Even people who have jobs are threatened, because they worry about losing them. And when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It’s all part of this culture. I don’t mean you disregard every rule of your community. The little things I can obey. But the thing is – how we think, what we value – those you must choose yourself. You can’t let anyone – or any society – determine those for you. The way to do it isn’t running away, every society has it’s own problems. No matter where you live the biggest defect we have is our shortsightedness. We don’t see what we could be. We should be looking at our potential, stretching ourselves into everything we can become. But if you’re surrounded by people who say I want mine now, you end up with a few people with everything and a military to keep the poor ones from rising up and stealing it. If we saw each other as more alike, we might be very eager to join in one big human family in this world, and to care about that family the way we care about our own. 

We all have the same beginning and the same end. How different can we be? In the beginning of life, we need others to survive, right? And in the end of life, you need others to survive, right? In between we need others as well. 

The culture doesn’t encourage you to think about such things until you’re about to die. We’re so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks – we’re involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don’t get into habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing? You need someone to probe you in that direction. It won’t just happen automatically. We all need teachers in our lives.

Everyone knows they’re going to die but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently. To know you’re going to die, and to be prepared for it at any time. That’s better. That way you can actually be more involved in your life while you’re living. Have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, is today the day? am I ready? am I doing all I need to do? am I being the person I want to be? Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live. Why is it so hard to think about dying? Because most of us all walk around as if we’re sleepwalking. We really don’t experience the world fully, because we’re half-asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do. When you realize you are going to die, you see everything much differently, you strip away all that stuff and you focus on the essentials. We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don’t satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.

 

Dying is only one thing to be sad over, living unhappily is something else. So many people are unhappy. Why? Well for one thing the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We’re teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it. Create your own. Most people can’t do it.

It’s natural to die. The fact that we make such a big hullabaloo over it is because we don’t see ourselves as part of nature. We think because we’re human we’re something above nature. We’re not. Everything that gets born, dies. As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without rally going away. All the love you created is still here. All the memories are still here. You live on – in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here. 

Death ends a life, not a relationship. 

Tuesdays with Morrie part 1. Life & Love

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and to let it come in. Let it come in. We think we don’t deserve love, we think if we let it in we’ll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. Love is the only rational act.

Love is how you stay alive, even after you’re gone. Being fully present means you should be with the person you’re with. I am not thinking about something we said last week. I am not thinking of what’s coming up this Friday. I am not thinking about doing another show, I am not thinking about what medications I’m taking. I am talking to you. I am thinking about you. Part of the problem is that everyone is in such a hurry. People haven’t found meaning in their lives, so they’re running all the time looking for it. They think the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things empty too and they keep running. Once you start running, it's hard to slow yourself down. It is so important to find loving relationship with someone because so much of the culture does not give you that. 

There is no formula to relationships. They have to negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like. In business people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. 

Love is different. Love is when you are concerned about someone elses’s situation as you are about your own.

Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle. 

 

Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too – even when you’re in the dark. 

Even when you’re falling.

 

Learn to detach. Don’t cling to things, because everything is impermanent. Detachment doesn’t mean you don’t let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. That’s how you are able to leave it. Take any emotion – love for a woman, or grief for a loved one, fear and pain from a deadly illness. If you hold back on the emotions – if you don’t allow yourself to go all the way through them – you can never get to being detached, you’re too busy being afraid. You’re afraid of the pain, you’re afraid of the grief. You’re afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, you experience them fully and completely. You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. Wash yourself with the emotion. It won’t hurt you. It will only help. If you let the fear inside, if you pull it on like a familiar shirt, then you can say to yourself, all right, it’s just fear, I don’t have to let it control me. I see it for what it is. 

Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others. You can’t get stuck on the regrets of what should’ve happened.

HappyPill Inc.

Big Bad Pharma by Doiden

Treating depression (and in fact any other illnesses) starts from medication prescriptions. Doctors give you at least two to four different medication on the very first meeting with them. Then they give you the option of going to therapy, which means you HAVE to take the meds in order to receive the chance to get to the line – and then you wait at least three to six months. By the time you get to the therapy, medication has made you so numb, unaware of your bad feelings and addicted to the medication, you don’t necessarily feel the need to talk. You just ask for more pills. Or they give you more without even asking when the tolerance is high enough for you to actually feel something again. If you are depressed enough (what might that even be, I don’t know) you can set your mind at ease in the hospital, where they pump the drugs straight to your veins. And of course, the right dosage or the right medication is when you live your head in the clouds not giving shit about anything.

In the beginning, the meds seem to be working, you feel absolutely fine and happy, but this is the biggest illusion and lie ever. Your brain is overloading with serotonin, and you feel like there’s no care in the world. Then your body gets used to it and you need a higher dosage or a different medication all together. Usually they just give you more and say “Hey kiddo, this did work for you right, let’s just put a bit more, this is normal in the beginning”. They leave out the fact that it’s not just the beginning, it’s coming back again because your body gets used to the unnatural levels of serotonin and stops producing it – so you end up even more depressed if you stop taking the meds or don’t have enough. Or then the side effects kick in and you can’t live with them – nausea, problems with sense of feeling, loss of hair, loss of consciousness, memory problems, insomnia, vomiting, nightmares, weight gain, fainting, heart problems, loss in bloods white cells, cramps, digestion problems, abnormal muscle cramps, epilepsy, coma, blood clog, hepatitis, shock, sudden death, depression, suicidal thoughts etc etc . . . What the doctors don’t tell you is that the side effects might kill you or stay with you for the rest of your life, even though you stop taking the pill. Worst of all side effects is that all psych meds change your personality; they take away who you really are and what you want to do with your life and leaves you with emptiness. 

Doctors do everything they can to make you take the medication. They deny you from your benefits you might get when you are not able to work just because you are “not combining to the treatment” if you don’t want to screw your body over with meds on top of feeling shit. Or even send you to a hospital where you have to take the pill in order to get out. They pressure you so much you settle for trying the medication – leaving out that the “trial” lasts for a lifetime. So, here how it goes: You go to the doctors because you’ve been feeling down and sad for weeks. Dr. takes one quick look at you, asks if you feel depressed (if you are lucky enough to get this question) and you say “well, kinda yea.“Dr. writes you a prescription looks at the time “Oh, seven minutes up” opens the door for you and asks you to come back in two weeks. You go back in two weeks and the doctor looks at you again “You feeling better there missy?” and you say yes because your body is pumped up with medication. “Alrighty then, this seems to work, let’s keep up with this so you don’t start to feel sad anymore” and gives you the same piece of paper that tells you how many pink pills you need to take each day.

Drugs never correct imbalances.  They never improve the brain.  They "work" by impairing the brain and dampening feelings in various ways.

Withdrawal symptoms come along when you try to cut down and stop the medication. It’s like going to a drug rehab, wait… It’s not “like going” that’s actually what it is! Physical symptoms might be around for months and mental symptoms for years.  All psychoactive substances have rebound and withdrawal-related problems. "Relapse" rates, in general, during withdrawal from psychiatric drugs, are about 10 times higher than would be expected if the drug had never been taken.

Why do doctors do this if – no sorry, WHEN – they know about the side effects, how easily your body gets adjusted to the drug, how it really is not good for you and how the drug is not the answer or the cure? Money. Greed. Not because they don’t have the resources, not because they don’t have enough staff, not because they would care but because they get paid every time by the BigPharma when they get you hooked on some pill. They want the pool, the big house and five cars on top of the Hollywood hill.

Making a killing: Theuntold story of psychotropic drugging (pt. 1)
A tale of deception.
Psychotropic drugs. Its the story of big money—drugs that fuel a $33 billion psychiatric industry. Without a single cure. The cost in human terms is even greater—these drugs now kill an estimated 42,000 people every year. And the death count keeps rising.

McRip-Off

Let's talk about McDonald's for a second. 

First are McDonald's Values in action 

and then What really happens..

McCruelty

The Road to Sustainability

McDonald’s never stops working toward improving our environmental performance...and reaping “double green” benefits around the world.

McDonald’s supports the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. Much of the soy-based animal feed used to fatten fast-food chickens is grown in the Amazon. Grain is fed to cattle in South American countries to produce the meat in McDonald's hamburgers. Cattle consume 10 times the amount of grain and soy that humans do: one calorie of beef demands ten calories of grain. Of the 145 million tons of grain and so fed to livestock, only 21 million tons of meat and by-products are used. The waste is 124 million tons per year at a value of 20 billion US dollars. It has been calculated that this sum would feed, clothe and house the world's entire population fo one year. Every year an area of rainforest the size of Britain is cut down or defoliated, and burnt. Globally, one billion people depend on water flowing from these forests, which soak up rain and release it gradually. The disaster in Ethiopia and Sudan is at least partly due to uncontrolled deforestation. In Amazonia - where there are now about 100,000 beef ranches - torrential rains sweep down through the treeless valleys, eroding the land and washing away the soil. The bare earth, baked by the tropical sun, becoms useless for agriculture. McDonald's is one of the many US corporations using lethal poisons to destroy vast areas of Central American rainforest to create grazing pastures for cattle to be sent back to the States as burgers and pet food, and to provide fat-food packaging materials.
 

Amazon Rainforest after deforestation

Greener Than Ever

McDonald’s strives to provide eco-friendly workplaces and restaurants that reflect our sustainability goals and demonstrate environmental stewardship in the workplace.

In 2007, the employees of an Orlando-area McDonald’s were caught on camera pouring milk into the milkshake machine out of a bucket labeled “Soiled Towels Only.”

Recycle, Renew

We start with a three-pronged approach: reduce, reuse, and recycle; and we’re committed to diverting as much waste as possible from the solid waste stream.

McDonald's recycled paper: only a tiny per cent of it is. The truth is it takes 800 square miles of forest just to keep them supplied with paper for one year. Tons of this end up litteing the cities of 'developed' countries. And you can even take a look at their recycling bins at the restaurants - yes, there are separate sections for plastic, paper etc, but they all go into the same garbage bag... And next to the fries, there is a bin that says: "It's okay to waste fries!"

Animal Welfare

We consider our priorities for food safety, quality and costs - together with our ethical, environmental and economic responsibilities - when we make purchasing decisions and evaluate supplier performance. This includes animal welfare. 

How many cows does it take to keep the world loaded with Big Macs? According to a brief video inside one of McDonald’s 6 meat processing plants, about 500,000 pounds of beef is processed per day, per plant. If an average beef cow weighs 1,150 pounds, that means 2609 cows a day are turned into burgers. That’s 952,285 cows per year. And that’s just in the United States.This means the constant slaughter, day by day, of animals born and bred solely to be turned into McDonald's products. Some of them - especially chickens and pigs - spend their lives in the entirely artificial conditions of huge factory farms, with no access to air or sunshine and no freedom of movement. Their deaths are bloody and barbaric. In the slaughterhouse, animals often struggle to escape. Cattle become frantic as they watch the animal before them in the killing-line being prodded, beaten, electrocuted, and knifed.

Chicken McNuggets everyone!!

It started with you. Moms and dads are trying hard to get their kids to be more nutrition-minded. We listened. That’s why our popular Happy Meals will have fewer calories and include a side of fruit. It’s why our Chicken McNuggets now have less sodium. And why our national communications to kids will champion their well-being. And that’s just the beginning. We’re committed to giving you more delicious choices to feel good about in the months and years to come. Because we all have the same goal: making sure the things your kids love are things you can feel good about.

Real food is perishable. With time, it begins to decay. It’s a natural process, it just happens. Beef will rot, bread will mold. But what about a McDonald’s burger? Karen Hanrahan saved a McDonald’s burger from 1996 and, oddly enough, it looks just as “appetizing” and “fresh” as a burger you might buy today. Is this real food? The processed fat in McDonald’s food (and other fast food) promotes endothelial dysfunction for up to 5 hours after eating the meal. Endothelial tissue is what lines the inside of blood vessels. Eating a McDonald’s chicken sandwich, it will give you about 2/3 of the recommended daily amount of sodium. And if you actually do have high blood pressure, that’s way more than you really need. To achieve the artificial conformity of food that looks and feels and tastes exactly the same in any outlet anywhere in the world, McDonald's require that their "fresh lettuce leaf", for example, is treated with twelve different chemicals just to keep it the right colour at the right crispness for th right length of time.  

It might as well be a bit of plastic!

McDonald's food is so lacking in bulk it is hardly possible to chew it. Even their own figures show that a "quarter-pounder" is 48% water. This sort of fake food encourages over-eating, and the high sugar and sodium content can make people develop a kind of addiction - a 'craving'. That means more profit for McDonald's, but constipation, clogged arteries and heart attacks for many customers.

Oh, and one more thing... Take a look at the ingredients of the BicMac "Secret Sauce". (definitely a secret, i have no idea what half of those ingredients even are, do you know what you are eating?)

Soybean oil, pickle relish [diced pickles, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, vinegar, corn syrup, salt, calcium chloride, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate (preservative), spice extractives, polysorbate 80], distilled vinegar, water, egg yolks, high fructose corn syrup, onion powder, mustard seed, salt, spices, propylene glycol alginate, sodium benzoate (preservative), mustard bran, sugar, garlic powder, vegetable protein (hydrolyzed corn, soy and wheat), caramel color, extractives of paprika, soy lecithin, turmeric (color), calcium disodium EDTA (protect flavor).

Thank you for your cooperation?! Fuck You McDonald's

Enslaving People

Human trafficking around the world is reaching horrific proportions. With an estimated 12 million people worldwide living in slavery, human trafficking is the third most profitable criminal activity after drugs and arms trafficking. 80% of trafficking victims are women, and an estimated 2 million children are bought and sold each year. 80% of trafficking involves sexual exploitation of vulnerable women, usually under the age of 18. With $4 billion attributed to the brothel industry worldwide, sex trafficking is big business, with very few people ever arrested or convicted of trafficking. Under-reported and under-prosecuted, these girls and women are the silent victims of poverty and war. Many were living in horrific conditions and some were as young as five, depending on older children for their survival. Today, human trafficking is approximately a $31.6 billion global industry, making it the third most lucrative criminal activity in the world after illegal drugs and black-market guns. It's about time we opened our eyes to this grim reality. We are very far from an ideal world, and no one should ever be immune from justice.

 In the U.S., as many as 40,000 kids are trafficked within their own borders each year.

******

Hundreds of human trafficking victims are estimated to pass through Finland annually. But for many victims, Finland is the final destination. However in Finland, a large number of suspected human trafficking victims are men who are used for labour. Finland is used as a transit point to other EU countries.

******

France is a destination country for women trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation and involuntary domestic servitude, primarily from Eastern and Central Europe and Africa. The government estimates that there are 10,000 to 12,000 trafficking victims in France, 3,000-8,000 of whom are children forced into prostitution and labor.

******

Over 5,000 women and children have been trafficked from the Philippines, Russia and Eastern Europe and are forced into prostitution in bars servicing the U.S. Military in South Korea.

******

British police estimate that up to 4,000 human trafficking victims, mostly women, are being exploited in the UK at any given time.

Trudie Styler (UNICEF UK) : 

One of my most vivid memories is visiting a woman called Angelina, who was dedicating her life to helping the young girls who had been set to work on the streets as prostitutes. I went to meet many of the young girls myself, the oldest of whom was no more than 17. Nervous at first, each began their own personal account of what had happened to them -- and they had all thought they were coming to the city to earn money as domestic servants or waitresses, that they would be able to send an income back to their families in rural Ecuador, and that this was their chance of a lifetime. A trusted male family member or friend had in each case persuaded the families to hand over their children for the promise of a better life. Their freedom taken, these girls had entered a life of abuse far from home, kept to all intents and purposes as slaves.

"It wasn't too bad... as long as I brought in my quota every night."

"I mean, if I made $2,000 for my pimp he was happy."

If I didn't make that much... that's when he would start beating me."

Sharon was all alone, a 19-year-old runaway taking a trip to nowhere on a New York City subway when he approached. "You're pretty," he told her. "And I bet you're hungry. Let me buy you some food and some clean clothes." As the child of two drug-addicted parents... a child who was sent to live with her grandmother, only to be raped by her grandmother's boyfriend... a young woman who had spent way too many of her 19 years on the streets... this was the best offer she had heard in her brief, tragic life. "Then he took me to his apartment and beat me," she said.

Sharon's pimp enslaved her and forced her to sell her body in cities all across the United States.

"We would work the streets for about a week at a time in each city, until he thought he made as much as he could," Sharon said. "Then we moved on. One girl tried to escape. He beat her and we never saw her again."

Where is the outrage that our children are being bought and sold? Why isn't rescuing the thousands and thousands of children being enslaved a priority?
