Age of Awarenss


We are in the midst of an age of awareness hence the unprecedented global protests as more and more people wake up to the truth. Please join us.


It is extremely urgent that everybody is aware of the following important info:

You may find that govt agencies, mainstream news, or experts tell a different story, but before you disregard the info below please remember that the govt and mainstream news has misled us many times before in the past and are influenced by companies that are sometimes more interested in profits than your well being. Sure there are workers and experts that are good people, but many fall for their lies and reiterate the lies thinking it is the truth.

An award nominated documentary of the year called “Dr Burzynski – Cancer Business” is available on Netflix & YouTube. It shows how the FDA & cancer societies use your money to suppress treatments that does not give you other forms of cancer like how chemo & radiation may. For profit, there are many other suppressed remedies.

Everyone should watch a youtube video titled “The Sad Truth To Why Most People May Not Wake Up!” to learn about Fox news, fluoride, and mercury poisoning. The internet harbors disinformation, but the internet also harbors exposed truths because it is not mostly controlled like mainstream media. It’s your responsibility to use multiple sources, logical reasoning and sense red flags. After decades, the govt recently lowered the maximum level of fluoride in water and also recently warned not to use fluoridated water in infant formula.

FDA knew about mercury in High Fructose Corn Syrup for years. Studies show TV puts you in a dream/hypnotized like state - “Herbert Krugman - Is TV A Medium That Muddles The Mind?”  Read the full article and sources (the red links) – http://www.activistpost.com/2010/12/10-modern-methods-of-mind-control.html

"A deliberate plan to dumb down the masses is hard to prove but there exists a great amount of data proving that the ruling elite not only tolerates, but effectively introduces policies that have a detrimental effect on the physical and mental health of the population" - http://vigilantcitizen.com/vigilantreport/dumbing-down-society-part-i-foods-beverages-and-meds/ 

We now have an energy, environment & economic crisis, & an ignorance crisis. Your well being & happiness can be maintained if we all take action.  Spreading awareness is one of the best solutions.

Can things be better?  YES if we all work together!  There has to be a system more efficient, humane, & intelligent that we can evolve into. The Venus Project and self-sustaining communities are not perfect but they can make much better use of resources without most of the greed and evil in our current system.

Solutions and Tips:

  1. Watch less TV and more internet media such as RT America, The Young Turks, etc!  
  2. Move your money and CC’s from big banks to credit unions which actually have better services, saving rates, and more ATMs (co-op network)! 
  3. Be more self-sustaining with solar panels or mini wind turbines, electric or hybrid cars, grow your own garden and food with neighbors (or eat more organically), and consume less from corporations that produce great things, but also unjustifiable evils!
  4. A directory of self-sustaining communities that you can join - ic.org;
  5. Survival of the fittest is in nature but so is killing and rape.  It is not an intelligent nor sustainable way!
  6. Watch the Zeitgeist film on youtube.
  7. This life is very possibly a short journey in an eternal life. You can’t go wrong doing the right thing but there are many consequences being self-absorbed and evil.
  8. Look into spiritual growth, meditation, and how love is the answer to our problems. Hate only creates more hate which spreads around us. Stop hating and start loving!
  9. Love surpasses ego, hate, anger, and fear! 
  10. The tips here will also greatly help you if the dollar drastically inflates and the price of commodities soar. The nation’s debt is increasingly growing out of control and will most likely hit a breaking point soon.
  11. Please scan this and share for everyone's sake including your own. The more people that become aware, the better your life and your children's lives will be. Spread the Awareness!  
  12. PEACE AND LOVE!

    There's No Law That Requires You To Pay Personal Federal Income Tax

    This blog is about exposing some of the lies, deceit, and oppression that we may not be aware of.

    Aaron Russo was born in Brooklyn, New York and later went on to being an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominated film producer and director. He later became a political activist and ran for governor of Nevada, and also created the important documentary America: Freedom to Fascism that exposes many hidden truths about our nation that everyone should be aware of.

    The film talks about how no one has yet been able to point to a law that requires Americans to pay federal income taxes. It goes on to reveal that our income taxes pay the private company, the Federal Reserve, which is owned by private banks and was established in 1913. Here are some quotes from the documentary:

    “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world – no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
    —U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, a few years after authorizing the creation of the “Federal” Reserve

    The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers.”
    —Abraham Lincoln

    “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
    —Thomas Jefferson

    “I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies“.
    —Thomas Jefferson





    Here JFK warns the U.S. of secret societies and was most likely referring to the groups that run the FED and the IMF.  He also instructs the media to alert the people and expose the truth.



    If we want to live in a more peaceful world where profits do not come before our well being, then we all have the responsibility to 1) spread awareness about the truth and 2) stand up to tyranny and oppression.

    The Truth of The Cancer Industry - What You Should Know About Cancer

    Here is a perfect example how capitalism spurs on unspeakable evil that needs to end now! The following film has been nominated for best documentary of 2011 and can be found on Netflix or Youtube.  The documentary provides hard evidence of how pharma, the FDA, and cancer research societies suppress cancer cures with our hard earned tax money and cancer donations!

    We owe it to ourselves to work our way towards self-sustaining communities and a more civilized economic structure such as a RBE or resources based economy where profits are not valued above our health and well being. A RBE will not be perfect, but it also will not have a monetary system that spurs on selfishness, suffering, and outright murder.

    3 Minute Trailer



    If the trailer shocked and intrigued you which it should, then here's the full length 1 hour movie:
    (if the video failed to play, search for "Dr Burzynski" on Youtube)



    Please realize that Dr Burzynksi is not the only one and there are many just like him that have been suppressed in our called "democracy" and capitalism.

    Please share this knowledge to wake your family and friends up from their bubble and the lies perpetrated by mainstream TV. TV is owned by big corps (GE, Disney, Viamcom, etc) and it is not in their interest to provide you the truth. "Good news is bad business and bad news is good business".  If you want the truth, you must include independent media or media by foreign nations, and where many are found online.

    Fluoride in Water and Mercury in Vaccines are Poisonous and Toxic

    A common fallacy is to think one is perfectly fine after ingesting fluoride or corn syrup their whole life. If you think that way, then your intelligence has probably already been affected from these intelligence diminishing toxins. Without the ingestion of these toxins, your health and intelligence may have been far more superior. These toxins also have a cumulative effect that can still give you more problems in the later stages of your life.

    The video below talks about:
    • Mainstream media and especially Fox news has continuously been caught lying, misrepresenting the facts, and using ad hominem or character assassinations as opposed to rational debates. It is well known that big corporations corrupt the government and these big corporations (GE, Disney, Viacom) have major ownership in mainstream media. In this capitalist society, it is bad business for them to report good news and that is why many people support a new society that is not based on the monetary system. I speak about a resource based economy in this blog -  http://dontbeacock.blogspot.com/2012/03/who-does-government-really-represent.html.
    • Mercury is used in some vaccines, but it is toxic to us and especially to children and infants. Mercury is also found in almost all seafood and in high fructose corn syrup (or corn syrup), which is practically in every packaged food in the average grocery store that does not promote organic foods. (Read our other guide: HFCS & Mercury) "Most people do not come in direct contact with mercury, but are exposed to small doses at a time, resulting in a slow but steady poisoning of the brain. As the years go by, the effects of the substance impairs judgment and rational thinking, decreases memory and disrupts emotional stability. In other words: It makes you dumber."http://vigilantcitizen.com/vigilantreport/dumbing-down-society-pt-2-mercury-in-foods-and-vaccines/
    • Sodium fluoride was introduced into our drinking water before fluoride toothpaste was available. Now our tax money still funds fluoridating our water, but fluoride is also found in our toothpaste, fluoride rinses, food, and beverages. There are reports that have found sodium fluoride to reduce the intelligence in children, to accumulate in bones, and may be cancer causing. Many EPA officials and doctors have came out and spoken about the dangers of sodium fluoride. Many progressive countries have also banned or do not fluoridate their water. 



    Many dentists and experts reiterate the lies that they have been taught. Here is one prime example of how a dentist reiterates a false perception about fluoride:
    Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that is found at various concentrations in the soil and in many sources of water. When used to fight cavities, it is given in two forms: topical (toothpastes, mouth rinses, for example) and systemic (fluoridation of the water supply and supplements such as lozenges or chewable tablets). Source: http://health.msn.com/health-topics/oral-care/a-little-fluoride-goes-a-long-way 
    Natural fluoride is NOT what they put in our water nor toothpaste and here is the truth:
    Calcium fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral in dirt and is considered relatively harmless to humans due to its extreme insolubility. Unfortunately, this is not (and never has been) what is being added to our toothpaste, mouthwash, liquid drops and municipal water supply systems under the guise of dental health. It is silico-fluorides that are being added to 90% of public water systems. Silico-fluorides (including sodium fluoride) are highly toxic industrial grade hazardous wastes generated during aluminum processing and captured in the air pollution-control scrubber systems of the phosphate fertilizer industry. Fluoride in this form causes osteoporosis, thyroid disease, damage to the immune system, heart, lungs, liver, brain, skin, arteries, and premature aging. Source: http://suppressions.org/wordpress/2011/02/26/is-fluoride-really-bad-for-me-the-answer-may-not-be-what-you-think/
    Another great article on fluoride: http://mistyhorizon2003.hubpages.com/hub/Why-is-Fluoride-Bad-for-You

    When the FDA and other government institutions have been caught lying numerous times, it is important not to follow along with what others say and to always research the topic and the facts yourself. Think for yourself and remember that credible sources can be wrong and suspicions should be raised when there is a big debate online (because sadly you will barely hear about it on TV if you hear it at all).

    There is a solution to all of this and it is to either join self-sustaining communities or become self-sustaining yourself by growing your own gardens and food, invest in solar panels or compact windmills, switch to electric cars, switch from banks to credit unions, and etc. The less we rely on big corporations the less power we will give them. We can slowly move towards a resource-based economy which is not perfect but surely there has to be something better than our current failing system.

    The Truth About HSV-1 and HSV-2

    source
    Cold sores AKA herpes or HSV-1 is quite common and it spreads partly because people are unaware about the truth of this virus. People tend to believe that Cold sores or HSV-1 is more acceptable or not as bad as genital herpes or HSV-2, but the truth is both are just as bad and HSV-1 can actually be more dangerous. People with HSV-1 or HSV-2 can shed the virus even when they do not have an outbreak. Carriers of the virus should act more responsibly and take anti-viral medication or supplements that will reduce shedding and the chances of infecting their partner. Read the full article here that has a lot more information and details - http://www.herpes.com/hsv1-2.html.

    Poisons in Today’s Food… Time To Grow Your Own Garden?

    High fructose corn syrup AKA corn sugar
    More high fructose corn syrup AKA corn sugar

    Below is a laundry list of reasons why we should grow our own food. I’m not going to go into full blown details into each reason, but I will provide sources on where you can find more information.
    1. Texas has under reported uranium and other radiation in their drinking water for decades.
    2. Recent studies, which have gone virtually unnoticed by the general public, have found minute quantities of pharmaceuticals in our tap water to have alarming effects over time. Most food is prepared with unfiltered tap water.
    3. Some studies have found Genetically Modified foods or GMOs result in allergies and even death and the science of GMOs is at best inconclusive. It should be an alarming red flag when the EU and many other countries that are more progressive than ours have banned genetically modified foods. Obama has appointed a former exec of Monsanto (produces GMOs) as the new head of the FDA and some say this is the reason why GMOs are allowed in America and without a requirement to be labeled as GMO! GMOs are genetically modified to produce things like insecticides and toxins inside the plant or organism, which eliminates the need for spraying insecticides, but at what expense? You normally would have the opportunity to wash the pesticides off the plant, but now the pesticide is built into the plant.
    4. If you look at the ingredients of your snack or beverage, it will most likely contain High Fructose Corn Syrup. There are many conflicting reports and studies about the adverse health effects of HFCS probably because there is a lot of money in food. We do know for sure that mercury, which impairs memory and intelligence, is found in HFCS and most likely in corn syrup as well.
    5. Something should alert you when: there are major conflicting studies about the health effects of fluoride, the fact that many European countries ban fluoride in drinking water, and a study that too much fluoride can diminish intelligence in children. Fluoridation of water took place before there was fluoride in our toothpaste and before fluoride rinses were available. Today fluoride is found in our toothpaste, beverages, food, and water. Many cities across the U.S. have been taking fluoride out of their drinking water.
    6. Nutritional value of mass produced food including fruits and vegetables have declined drastically over the years. Chemicals that speed growth may impair the ability to absorb nutrients.
    7. "Is there a deliberate effort by the government to dumb down the masses? The statement is hard to prove but there exists a great amount of data proving that the ruling elite not only tolerates, but effectively introduces policies that have a detrimental effect on the physical and mental health of the population."  This article also talks about the truth in prescription drugs and how aspartame in all brand name gum can cause headaches. I can tell you from experience that I personally used to get splitting headaches as child after chewing gum or eating certain kinds of candy. I cannot say aspartame was definitely the culprit, but it is a risk that I do not choose to take anymore and I would much rather chew organic gum that you can find online.

      How To Start Your Own Vegetable Garden


      Source: Flickr – ConstructionDealMkting
      There are many reasons why it is beneficial to start growing your own garden and I list some of the many reasons here Poisons in Today’s Food… Time To Grow Your Own Garden? 

      Preparation

      Start with what you like to eat and what you can’t find fresh locally. Corn takes a lot of space and remains in the garden a long time before it’s ready to be eaten. If you have corn farms nearby, you might want to use your small garden for vegetables that give a longer harvest, like tomatoes, lettuce and beans.

      Before you start, it’s best to check what growing conditions your plants will require and you can do that by going to this site that gives growing conditions per vegetable. Your priority is at least 6 hours of sun exposure a day for your vegetables. Secondarily, you can consider at what times the sun will shine on your plants because afternoon sun will be hotter and more drying than the preferable morning sun. You can also evaluate other elements of exposure such as high and drying winds or foot traffic.

      Preparing the Bed

      Your chosen site will probably have grass on it or at least weeds. The grass and weeds including their roots is the sod and must be completely removed, so they do not grow back. You can add the sod to your compost pile (decayed organic matter).
      To make a good bed, you should dig 12 to 18 inches into the ground. Fill the hole with a good amount of compost mixed in with the soil that you dug out. When you are done, your bed should be above ground level.
      Test your soil’s texture type: Ideally your soil should be drainable and moist at the same time. Pick up the soil in your bed and squeeze it. It should be crumbly and moist. If it stays as a big lump of clay, then put some sand and more compost in your soil. If your soil is too dry, then put in some peat moss and more organic material.
      Starting with good soil means you won’t have to add a lot of artificial fertilizer to your garden. If you’ve fed the soil with amendments, the soil will feed your plants.
      Plants cannot take up nutrients unless the soil’s pH (acidity/alkalinity) is within an acceptable range. Most plants like a somewhat neutral pH, 6.2 – 7.0, but some are more particular. Soil is usually within an acceptable pH range and if you have added enough compost and organic matter, your soil’s pH will be even closer to neutral (7.0). If there is a reason your soil’s pH may be off or if you want to be sure you have good soil, there are several ways you can check your soil’s pH:
      1. Call your local Cooperative Extension office or your local nurseries. For a minimal fee, they may test your soil for it’s texture, pH, or even the nutrients and minerals in it. They may also provide test kits that you can do yourself.
      2. It is very simple to do your own testing as well. You can either purchase a pH meter or pH test strips (aka litmus paper). The test strips are almost as accurate and much less expensive.In order to use the test strips and some of the meters (depending on type), you will need distilled water and any other type of water can be slightly acidic. You can purchase both distilled water and pH test strips at your local pharmacy. You can also easily make your own distilled water by filling a large stainless steel pot with some water and float an empty glass or oven safe bowl on the water. Put the lid upside down on the pot and heat the water. Put some ice or cold water on top of the upside down lid to cool the steam that is inside the pot. The steam will then turn into distilled water and collect in the bowl.Dig a hole in your bed that is at least 4″ deep. Fill the hole with distilled water and wait for the soil to have the consistency of molasses. Place the test strip or the meter probe directly into the soil and leave the test strip in it for 6 minutes. Remove the strip and rinse it with distilled water. You can then match its color to a chart that comes with the pH kit. Each color represents a different pH level.

      Planting

      Water your newly planted garden as soon as it is planted and make sure it gets at least one inch of water per week. You may have to water more often in hot dry summers. Let your plants tell you how much water they need. Some wilting in noonday sun is normal. Wilting in the evening is stress.
      Seeds: Plant seeds at any time of the day when planting vegetables in the spring. However, if you plant seeds in late summer for fall crops, plant seeds in the evening. This allows the soil to remain moist after watering. If planting seeds near other crops, morning planting allows the nearby foliage to dry after watering, preventing disease.
      Containers: Plant container crops in the early evening or on overcast days. Vegetables planted in the morning must immediately deal with heat, sun and transplant stress. Evening planting delays this problem, allowing the new plant time to recover from root disturbance. The ideal time to plant is on a still, overcast day, so that you stress your new plants as little as possible.
      Water the plants in their pots the day before you intend to plant.
      Don’t remove all the plants from their pots and leave them sitting in the sun for the roots to dry out.
      If the roots are densely packed or growing in a circle, tease them apart, so they will stretch out and grow into the surrounding soil.
      Bury the plant to the depth it was in the pot. Too deep and the stem will rot. Too high and the roots will dry out.
      Don’t press down hard on the plants as you cover them. Watering will settle them into the ground.
      Hardening: When starting vegetable seedlings indoors or when buying container-grown plants from a protected greenhouse, acclimate the seedlings before planting them in the garden. Gradually reduce water, expose them to cooler temperatures and increasing amounts of sunlight. Do not bring the plants back indoors. The Colorado State University Extension recommends hardening off plants over the course of one week.

      Mulch

      Mulch conserves water, blocks weeds and cools the soil.

      Plastic mulches are nice in a vegetable garden to heat the soil around warm season crops like tomatoes, peppers, melons and squash. Apply it soon after planting before new weeds sprout. Apply a 2-4 inch thick layer of mulch, avoiding direct contact with the plant stems. Piling mulch around the stem can lead to rotting and can provide cover for munching mice and voles.

      Garden Records

      If you start a garden journal, you can record how plants perform, when flowers are in bloom, how large a harvest was and all kinds of information that will help you make a better garden next year.

      Maintenance

      • At the very least, your plants will require 1 inch of water a week. Over watering your plants is common mistake and it is more important to be consistent. At the same time, don’t let your plants get drought stressed. Once a plant is stressed it will never recover fully that growing season.
      • There will also be weeding to do. Weed seeds come from all kinds of sources: wind, birds, and soil on shoes
      • Vegetables will produce more if you keep harvesting while young.
      • Some taller plants may need to be staked, to keep from flopping.

      Enjoy your garden!


      Who Does The Government Really Represent?



      It shouldn’t be a surprise that the United States gov’t has stopped representing the people long time ago partly because of corporate campaign donations and corporate lobbying. It now represents the super wealthy corporations with the major banks at the pinnacle of this corrupted and broken system. Democracy does not exist when the government that is supposed to represent the people is actually doing the opposite of what the majority want. Democracy does not exist when people cannot vote on important matters such as declaring war on another nation, investing in clean and sustainable energy, maintaining health and insurance programs that are in our best interest, and the list goes on.

      It is the same gov’t that is responsible for stirring up wars made publicly and also covertly like the Bay of Pigs Invasion where our own gov’t plotted to attack its own nation in Operation Northwoods [1] and distributed cocaine to its own people in order to fund rebel groups in foreign nations [2]. It’s the same gov’t that conducted mind control experiments on it’s own people without their knowledge in Project MKULTRA [3] and sadly evidence suggests that it is still going on today. It is the same gov't that injected syphilis into Alabama residents in the Tuskegee syphilis experiment [4]. The examples can go on and it would be smart to bet that there are many more cases which have not yet been made public.

      It’s not just the gov’t. The gov’t is made up of humans and humans run mega corporations as well. There are companies such as BP the oil company, Pacific Gas and Electric Company that Erin Brockovich found to have knowingly harmed and killed Americans, the tobacco companies, and all the companies that produce food with high-fructose corn syrup with knowledge of its adverse health effects.

      Sure our gov’t has done many great things and provides many benefits, but that does not excuse deceit, fraud, murder, and torture. We would not have any moral integrity if we allow these atrocities to continue. The fact is we can no longer trust our own government to have our best interest in mind. The fact is this capitalist system is currently falling apart and shows how it is not sustainable for our future.

      Here are only a few SUPERB documentaries that gives us an insight into how damaging a profit driven society can be:

      The good news is we can slowly evolve to a more advanced and evolutionary society that is much more beneficial for humankind – a resource-based economy or RBE. We live in a culture that is perpetuated by big corps to consume and possess massive junk because otherwise they will lose out on a lot of money. That is the reason for the unmoral act of planned obsolescence [5] and why many of our services and products have a set lifetime and purposely break down. In a RBE, there is a paradigm shift from possession to possession-less and assets are shared. The average power drill is used for less than 25 minutes in its lifetime. Just imagine the vast amount of space we can save if we made it easy to share and how we can solve our current garbage disposal crisis. We can have a library of not only books, but other assets as well. We can also have shared gardens and be able to enjoy fresh food instead of the unhealthy and cancerous mass produced food [6], which is something we can honestly start now with our friends and neighbors.

      You cannot have infinite growth with finite resources, so a RBE would first calculate the amount of resources and how many people it can accommodate before proceeding which is the logical first step of starting a society. This way a RBE does not run into overpopulation [7] and its related problems.

      Imagine no more divorces and related fights and arguments, which stem from the paradigm of possession and the possession of each other. We can slowly eliminate exclusive relationships and marriages, and be able to have multiple loving relationships. There would be no family units and children would be able to maximize their intelligence by learning from and receiving love from the community instead of just two parents.

      Do not confuse RBE with communism or socialism because it is neither since it does not have one ruler and it does not have a monetary system which is one of the roots to evil and the many problems we face today. The truth is there is no perfect society and a RBE is no exception. We can either waste time focusing on the many reasons why a RBE may not work or we can focus on making it work because every problem has a solution or a work around. The truth is - there has to be something better than the murdering and profit driven society that we have today. It might just be an evolutionary RBE and we won't know until we move forward and try.

      The idea of a resource based economy was started by Jacque Fresco and TheVenusProject.com. Fortunately, we don't have to wait for a true RBE to come along to shield ourselves from some of the evils we face and we can start mini RBEs on our own. So what are you waiting for? The best part is you don’t need to start from scratch and there are self-sustaining communities spread across all over the U.S. as shown here http://directory.ic.org/maps and there are others across the globe. This one that I am particularly interested in has been 15 years in the making – http://www.onecommunityranch.com.

      In any situation, it is always easy to point and blame others for our problems, but if we do nothing about it then we only have ourselves to blame. We pay taxes and we consume from mega corps, so we are in fact also responsible for these problems. Another solution in resolving our problems is to educate everyone the importance of ethics and how ethical behavior is a better route to sustainable living and happiness. We can do this by advocating for ethics classes in our educational systems.

      We only need to spend a fraction of our time to help make positive changes. While we are slowly migrating towards a new society (because the current one is crumbling), you can also help humankind and yourself by visiting DemandProgress.org.

      Don’t Betray Your True Childhood Values



      If you can think back to your more innocent years, how did you initially imagine this world? Didn’t you believe or wished that this world was mostly good? And didn’t you at one time or another yearned for some type of harmony or nirvana? We don’t have to throw our genuine values away just because we are handed something completely different, which we have grown to bewilderingly accept.

      A lot of us seem to believe we have no other option but to live in the old and broken society we are handed. To live in the broken society is to support the same people and evil that has corrupted our system.

      We can get back to our real values of peace and love by supporting a new evolutionary type of society such as a RBE or resource based economy. I speak more in detail and answer some of the skepticism about a RBE in my other blog here - http://dontbeacock.blogspot.com/2012/03/who-does-government-really-represent.html

      Warren Buffett: Trickle-Down Economics Don’t Work & Has Not Worked The Last 10 Yrs


      Famous billionaire investor Warren Buffett has told ABC News that the rich should be paying a lot more in taxes and that the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy should be left to expire at the end of December. During the interview, Buffett also dismissed Republican arguments that letting tax cuts expire for the wealthy would hurt economic growth.
      Warren Buffett: “I think that people at the high end, people like myself, should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we’ve ever had it … The rich are always going to say that, you know, ‘Just give us more money, and we’ll go out and spend more, and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you.’ But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.”

      WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO PRACTICE AND PROMOTE PEACE & ETHICS


      We live in a world today where we can hardly trust many of our mechanics, lawyers, our government officials, many other types of businesses, and especially our doctors. The more unethical acts that occur, the more it will provoke others to do the same and spread like a contagion. Eventually you will be immersed and surrounded by evil if you do not take action and put some effort into bringing peace and happiness in your life.
      The earth and society are your primary home and are also your root source of happiness, which is derived from interacting with the earth and society. Without them we cannot exist nor will we be happy. It only makes sense to spend a percentage of our time to help sustain them in a positive way. (Picture a house enclosing the earth and a second smaller house on the earth somewhere that says “your second home”)

      MORE PROBLEMS

      The lack of ethics in our society has caused tremendous suffering that has touched all of us and even worse, every act of evil can provoke others to do the same or worse. For instance, pratically everyone is effected by the financial and mortgage crisis that began in 2007, which was partly due to a chain of fraudulent activity by borrowers, mortgage companies, and some of the big banks. And now that people have less money, businesses are even more likely to be unethical and even less trustworthy. Usually during a recession crime rates go up as well.[1] [2] But all of this can easily be turned around by just doing the opposite and showing the love to others and educating others or just simply referring them to this site. Fundamental psychology teaches us that most people will follow what their surrounding group and environment does.

      GM’s 1996 Electric Car
      And practically everyone is effected by the suppression of GM’s 1996 electric car.[3] If the electric car was still available for sale today, it could potentially have prevented many cases of cancer, respiratory diseases, and asthma.[4]
      Just as damaging, there are doctors every day prescribing unnecessary surgeries to benefit their pockets but putting their patients lives at risk.[5]

      Many of us are continually being robbed of our health, well being, and happiness because of selfishness, greed and evil.
      If one of your more important goals is to ensure happiness and peace for your friends, family, and yourself, then it is only logical for you to devote a percentage of your time in promoting the importance of peace and ethics in the society that you live in, and it will be illogical for you not to do as such.

      MAJOR MISCONCEPTIONS:

      The reason why selfishness, greed, and evil is able to proliferate in our society is because:
      “It is impossible to change evil/selfishness/the way the world works.” OR “I’m just an average joe and I can’t do anything.”
      Our goal is not to change evil nor the trait of selfishness which may very well be impossible. However, it is very possible to make major changes in the world just like how slavery was abolished in America or how Wikileaks.com may be starting a new trend of whistleblowers for unethical acts. Major change can start with something as small as you reading this right now. Every action, whether big or small (good or bad) can have a ripple effect. Just by you reading this and telling one other person about this site can lead to a major ripple effect that you would have never imagined.
      “I can scheme or rip people off because I will make a lot more money and that will bring me happiness.”
      A quick and dirty buck may only bring you happiness momentarily, and that is if you don’t get caught. Conducting unethical acts will provoke others and give them reason to do the same or worse. Eventually, you will be surrounded and immersed in evil that is willing to rob or even kill for your money. Conducting unethical acts will eventually put a dent in your happiness.
      To show you an example of how of this works we will take our complex society and reduce it to a more simpler example. Lets say for example, that there are 10 people in the world. One person decides to steal food from other people instead of working for it. The rest of the 9 people catch on and almost everyone begins stealing food as well because someone already screwed things up and its easier than working for it. Now life for the 10 people has become much more miserable because whether or not you work for your food, you have to protect your food and your own life.
      Not to mention, that when you commit an unethical act, you take the risk of being sued, possible jail time, a bad reputation and rejected from society. So if you were a good mathematician you would understand that chances are against you when you make a choice of doing something unethical. There are many consequences to doing something bad, but you can’t go wrong being good.
      “I don’t need to do anything because there are many others that are willing to help the world.”
      We are at a time where ethics, societies, and economies all across the globe are deteriorating and spiraling down to new depths. If you haven’t already noticed, people now in many different countries are standing up to being robbed of their well being by fraudulent and corrupted people in the big banks and in government. There are major riots in Greece, France, England, and will soon effect us as well. It is crucial that we all act now. If everyone did their part, imagine how much less suffering everyone has to go through and how much happier everyone can all be. It is as easy as spreading the word to others and being more aware of what is going on a bigger scale by watching non-mainstream media because a lot of mainstream media is censored or biased. Mainstream media might report on an important event but it may be very short which is a type of censorship.

      “It should always be ‘me’ first.”
      The culture of individualism, our capitalistic society, and many other factors has led us to believe we as individuals are more important than the society as a whole. But the truth is society can function normally without an individual, but an individual will have a difficult time functioning and will be a lot less happy without society. Therefore, the placement of importance of society and ourselves may need some adjustment for many of us. If you want to be happy, you should put effort in promoting a peaceful and ethical society and environment that you live in.

      SOLUTION

      1. Individually, we should become more aware of what is truly important and what is happening around us. One way to do that is to watch non-mainstream media such as NPR.org, RT.com, DemocracyNow.org, etc. However and regardless of where you get your information, you should always think for yourself and learn to question things that do not seem right. If we educate ourselves correctly, then we can also educate many others.
      2. Spread the word of peace, ethics, and sites like this to make people more aware of the problem and why unethical acts do not pay and will do more harm to yourself than good.
      3. As a starter and as more people wake up, many good ripple effects will cast out and there will be more peace and happiness in the world. It is not easy to produce change in the world but it is very doable and it depends on how many people come together and how much we desire a more peaceful and happier home. Together we are strong in numbers and policies can change if enough people speak out for it.
      4. One great policy that we can work towards, is to implement ethics classes into our education system, so that we can invest in all of our future generations; the future doctors, lawyers, businesses, etc.
