Wow.. there is a conspiracy going on.. but it isn't what you think

The latest is the accusation that the environmental movement was created by One world agenda forces in order to enslave us.

you knwo.. if I am bad because I am a 'dirt worshipping treehugger".. so be it...

do I believe that corporate forces have Co-opted the green movement and climate change movemnet..? Sure.. of course.. they are threatened...

doesn't mean they "made it up'...

everyone is now confused.... and is going to end up mistrusting the environmental movement.. and run back to the Monsanto's as representatives of "Freedom and liberty"

we all are a bunch of frelling sheep...

Everyone needs to get off the grid.. and rebel against the Monsanto's of the world.. THey are the real enemy folks.....

but.. whatever.. go drive your SUV's and be "free".. ha ha ha!

Not sure who you are referring to Caelidh, but I know for example that Alex Jones himself (assuming you're talking about him or others like him) is definitely not a friend of Monsanto. That's so ridiculous considering everything he stands for. And implying that just because he is against the environmental movement that is funded by globalists, that he is therefore a friend to Monsanto, is a logical fallacy.

Like you said, we are all fighting the same enemy. It's the elite of the planet, the same people that run Monsanto, run both political parties, run the government and all convene secretly (at least to people watching the nightly news) every year at the Bilderberg meetings for example.

The 'one world conspiracy' as you put it has a habit of funding all different kinds of agendas, and of course they've dipped into environmentalism, but mostly because of their mostly because they are eugenicists and control freaks and environmentalism is the perfect cover. Environmentalism used to be about pesticides, pollution, overconsumption, and way more of a local issue but now everything is about Global warming and Al Gore saving us. Hitler was a vegetarian and loved animals, banned food coloring, and I'm sure if he was alive he would drive a Prius, but that doesn't make him good. They fund both sides of every major war. They bragged about funding the women's lib movement. They also created the Internet and that's been used against them. Nobody's saying that the energy they've created can't backfire. In my opinion the more people scared about global warming the better... and getting off the grid is a great step and many 'conspiracy theorists' are leading the way on that one.

It's not black and white. But that's reality. There's more levels of complexity to this than the us vs them picture that you're painting.

Exactly. The Revolution is

Exactly.

The Revolution is Within

I was merely using Monsanto as a placeholder

What I object to is the implication that the entire environmental movement is corrupted and bad .

I wish more people could think rationally

I have a problem with Alex Jones derisively snearing at the "Gaia Worship"...

I have identified as Pagan for decades now... I "worship" the earth.... I have attended the "evil" Peak OIl Conferences... and even took a Permaculture course...

I am not perfect.. I am not off the grid myself.. i realise it is hard.

Eugenics is a sticky accusation... Do I believe our planet is overpopulated? YES I do.. does that make me bad for beleiving that? NO It doesn't.

Doesn't mean I am a eugenicist... if the frelling Catholic Church didn't block the use of contraceptives in 3rd world countries.. they might be more empowered. I resent teh fact that controception is evil....

Eugenics IS going on today.. IN corporate science.. and yes..I am opposed to it.. but I also take issue with having frelling 10 to 15 kids via fertility drugs..

Our world is very complex and it is hard to untangle the web so it makes sense.

I felt that Alex Jones was patronizing and fear mongering...

and dismissive of people who practice earth based religions... that really bothers me....

...

Yes I think it is important to think rationally, if you're interested in what part Alex Jones has to play in all this you might rationally check out his sources, such as the documents he's pointing at that connect the elite with environmentalism and Eugenics. Like the 'Ecoscience' textbook written by Obama's science advisor Holdren. Like it or not Alex Jones at least points at some sources to back up his claims.

How is our planet overpopulated? We have the technological capacity to feed everyone and live within our means, if we merely changed a few details. So why focus on populations needing to die off? Our tendency is to have less children in developed nations. We only have one problem... that there is a parasitic elite enforcing inequality of wealth and conducting a war (military/economic) on the third world, and our monetary system forces us to consume and work for nothing.

Personally I think you are right that he is very dismissive of paganism or Gaia worship in particular. Because he's Christian. He makes fun of hippies and earth worshippers at times for entertainment value. And he makes fun of mainstream Christians and Rednecks as well. Brutally, probably more so. You can choose to take it personally or you can choose to focus on the bigger issue and help your own cause that way. Trust me, as long as you are against Global Government, Environmental Police and Carbon Taxes, I think

Edit: I found this video of Alex Himself discussing the movie on Youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NgoB3iPCM8

Again, his argument (not necessarily mine) is that TPTB are pushing this religion (or co-opting it the same way Christianity is co-opted) as a slick ad campaign for the purpose of getting people to relinquish control over their lives, leaving them as the only ones standing. This sort of strategy has already worked in the third world. Furthermore, this kind of hooks up with what scientists like Lovelock and some other prominent environmentalists are saying. They're saying that just like in the movie Avatar, Gaia will remove the disease of civilization. In fact, it's inevitable that civilization will crumble so we're better off just going back into the woods and learning how to forage.

Sorry, but it's not going to work if TPTB establish a full-fledged world dictatorship, with a scientific surveillance control grid. Especially if they have some secret free-energy technologies. Personally, I would agree that it's somewhat irresponsible to count on mother nature saving us. It's like Christians counting on being raptured. We need to cooperate with people who don't believe in Gaia or think Gaia is real. The true story of native peoples and people who lived in relative harmony with the environment is that they were butchered and enslaved by imperialists, as well as other native peoples. That doesn't mean they were wrong to live that way... they were just too weak to defend it so it ended. We need to stop being that weak so we can really live that way. It's only a matter of being connected like those trees in Avatar, which was the one part of that biological universe that more resembled our technology than the nature that we are accustomed to.

"Again, his argument (not necessarily mine) is that TPTB are pushing this religion (or co-opting it the same way Christianity is co-opted) as a slick ad campaign for the purpose of getting people to relinquish control over their lives, leaving them as the only ones standing."

If you are referring to "Gaian "religion".. I have NO idea where that is coming from.. I don't honestly understand how that is "getting people to relinquish control".

I think anything that is a different paradigm is going to scare people.... out of their comfort zone.. but we cannot honestly really pigeon hole earth based religions and say they have a SPECIFIC "dogma"... My personal experience with my spiritual journey is the EXACT opposite.... can't say what it is like for a "new agers" at a psychic fair... but that is an entire conversation for another day.

"Personally, I would agree that it's somewhat irresponsible to count on mother nature saving us. "

I don't think it is about "Mother nature saving" us... again.. that is a simplistic assumption about what more earth based spiritual paths are about.. I do believe we should have more of a relationship with "GAIA" or whatever you want to call it.. but my spiritual views on the matter are a bit more complex that Alex Jones tends to assume they are...

I suggest reading TRYPTAMINE PALACE by James OROC .. not a static dogmatic vision.. but one that could open ones eyes a bit more to how the Universe is perhaps structured...

"They're saying that just like in the movie Avatar, Gaia will remove the disease of civilization. In fact, it's inevitable that civilization will crumble so we're better off just going back into the woods and learning how to forage."..

I DISAGREE With that statement....

Just what IS "Civilization" .. seriously??? We have been brainwashed to believe that CIVILIZATION is sky scrapers and cars and big screen tv's and BIg Macs.... IS it????

Look at how many CIVLIZATIONS have risen and crumbled into dust? Why?? Some believe that it was infact the OVER REACHING of certain CIVILIZATIONS that caused their downfall. We don't learn enough from history....

Folks that derisively dismiss an idea that "mother nature will save us".. yet.. YET.. embrace a view that "Technology and SCIENCE " will "save us".. It seems to be a battle between these for some insane reason...

Mother nature can't..? but tecnology CAN?? Why must it be one or the other???

Science is a TOOL.. used for good or evil purposes...

it is our CONSCIOUSNESS that must be EVOLVED enough to understand how the WHOLE THING (universe, soul, whatever) WORKS and to be pragmatic... compassionate, understanding etc... and use common sense when employing SCIENCE and TECH in the world.

Mother nature IS powerful.. and as the butter advertisement goes... "you can't fool Mother Nature"....

in addition

I would also like to add...

what is "Freedom" ? exactly???

to do whatever you want without intervention??

really really think about what FREEDOM means.. because that concept
is bandied about a LOT and is an emotional JERKER of a term.

Keep in mind.. that those who "Sell" "science and technology" as
the means to "Freedom" are selling you a bunch of hooey....

They are TOOLS.

Human beings are probably LESS free than we have ever been in some ways.. we are
INCREDIBLY DEPENDENT upon technology and science to "save" us. Our civilization
will crumble in an instant if we lost the ablity to drive cars, access the internet,
talk on our cell phones... we are already OWNED by the interests that have brought
all those wonderful "gifts" of technology to us.

If you lost everything TECHNOLOGICAL or SCIENTIFIC today... where would you be?

Honestly?

Coudl you make fire to keep warm?
Could you know how to access or find clean healthy water?
What about shelter?

We have lost the ability to take care of ourselves. We have been brainwashed and
turned into CONSUMERS instead of creators. We have been led to be afraid of nature
and to CONQUER it. Even now there is talk about scientific manipulation to stave
off climate change and C02.. that scares me.

yet... if we got back to SIMPLE things.. that do not require a car.. or computer.. we
would be more empowered...

The fact is.. that COMMUNITY.. and self awarenss and conscious evolution is the key..
not the baubles of our current "civilization"... Alex Jones balks against this.
He says that the "gaia worshippers" are trying to remove technology from life and that would
cause DISASTER.

Yet.. that stuff may be turned of in a blink of an eye.

A year or so ago.. in Cincinnati, we got the tail end of Hurrican IKE and it blew down trees
and power lines and people in CINCINNATI were without power for up to 10 days!!!

The only thing that was kind of working was COMMUNITY and support....from
neighbors and friends and LOCAL businessess. I don't remember seeing the
Walmarts neccessarily coming to the rescue.. they MIGHT have been..

but i remember the LOCAL businesses offering electricity for cell phone charging

That is the KEY. COMMUNITY.. .knowing how to survive WITHOUT all the hookups!

That is what will save us.... To TRUST.. to LOVE and NOT TO FEAR!!! and panic.

But our dependency on the Teat of the Global Corporation wil surely enslave us.

being more with ONE with Nature.. Remember the tsunami in Indonesia?... how the
animals.. that were more in tune with SOMETHING in nature "heard" or "felt" the warning
and moved to hire land.. while HUMANS ignored it... and stupidly stared out
as the deadly wave rolled in...

We are already brainwashed and it might help us if we started LISTENING to something
more primal and nature related than the latest frelling YOU TUBE VIDEO or
who the latest American Idol winner is... or what nationality Obama REALLY is..

on and on.. the distractions keep us oppressed!

...

Caelidh, I think we have an interesting debate here about technology. Let me clear up for you exactly what I think, because I agree on many points.

I think that most importantly for our conversation, 'freedom' means the ability to defend yourself (and I'm only talking violence) against people who would put you in chains and have their way with you. It means the opportunity to pursue your own happiness as long as it doesn't violate someone else. Of course there are all sorts of definitions you could make. If you define it as 'dependency', then we are all slaves to the earth as well as technology. Even natives use technology and use tools, just at a slightly different level... nevertheless they also couldn't survive without certain technology.

Technology... as you said is a tool. Mostly it's being used as a tool against us, not by us for our own purposes. We have become overdependent on it. I think we should all be interested in things like foraging and growing our own food... for the moment I am only forage but I think it's a skill and knowledge everyone should have. Of course I know that if the lights went out I would have a tough time. But like it or not, knowledge and technology are not going to go away, and those who possess it will have the power.

So, I believe we should be simultaneously interested in those skills that are most primitive and the high technology of our civilization, if that makes any sense. For me the most important is our information technology, like you are using right now, to spread awareness, talk to each other and form communities. Community and Awareness are the most powerful force, and we use our wealth and technology to amplify that power. I don't think Alex Jones would disagree with any of that. Of course I don't speak for him or really agree with everything he says.

Cheers,

Meade

There's no such thing as

There's no such thing as overpopulation, only inefficient use of resources. Food rots by the megaton every day, much of it in dumpsters locked to keep dumpster divers from getting at it. One segment of the global population is so fat their brains have stopped working, while another, larger section is slowly (and not so slowly) starving to death.

Anyone who says 'we are massively overpopulated' is also saying, de facto, that we should be massively depopulated. There is no way to accomplish this in less than century without murder on a scale more massive than anything recorded within history.

Now, are you directly advocating gigadeath? No, not consciously, at least. But you are participating in a societal metacontext in which just such an atrocity is likely to manifest because eventually (ie now) people who think that way will be numerous enough, motivated enough and in a position to carry this out. This is, in fact, precisely what is happening.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you're white. I'm also going to guess that overpopulation isn't so much of a problem in whatever country it is that you live. More a problem down south, where all those brown and black people are packed into those festering third world slums that blight so much of the modern landscape. Right?

Oh crap, I just called you racist, too, didn't I?

NO I DIDN'T.

I don't for a moment think that you're a bigot. A bigot wouldn't be here in the first place.

However, the overpopulation meme originated with and has been primarily promulgated by the bigoted, arrogant and racist Old Money crypto-aristocratic regime that has been ruling the West from the shadows for centuries, now. By accepting this idea (and in the end, really, anything that vomits forth from their devious, greedy 'little' minds) you are acceding to their rule, to their will, and to their plan.

When the dust settles, people can then take up one dust-particle at a time for a calm, rational discussion.

A confused planet is much too complicated to fit-all in to one agenda. The people out there in the red States need a chance to savor one element of fascism at a time. Patients, i say, one element at a time. Let us not expect too much understanding, all at once. Environmentalism has to also remember it's own progenitors include killer apes.

Global Warming

I think we should look to the experts for the closest accurate cause and probability of Global Warming and that is Environmental Scientists!! Not our politicians and certainly not Alex Jones! Yes, im sure that the gov sees an opportunity to cash in on GW by taxing us on yet ANOTHER gov funded project...but who knows! Regardless of GW or not, this polluted dirty planet can use a HUGE cleaning up and a green movement!

You mean the thousands of

You mean the thousands of experts who vehemently disagree with AGW? Not that you'd notice this in the media.

Perhaps you mean the experts who have, by conducting actual experiments, demonstrated strong evidence for an interaction between the solar magnetic field, the incidence of high energy cosmic rays on the Earth and low-altitude cloud cover (this being one of the primary temperature regulators). You'll notice that CO2 doesn't appear once in this particular causality chain.

Wait, no ... I think I've got it. You mean the experts who have been shown, irrefutably shown, to have a) hidden and/or destroyed data (repeatedly), b) rigged their software to spit out the graphs their paymasters want to see, c) used the peer review process to keep dissenting views out of the scientific literature, d) deliberately, as a matter of policy, played up the most frightening scenarios their slapdash theory could come up with and e) lied about doing all of this.

Yeah, those experts. Let's listen to them.

The Revolution is Within

monsanto does need to get

monsanto does need to get destroyed but climate change is not man caused

Oh, yes, as to Monsanto:

Oh, yes, as to Monsanto: they are the fucking devil incarnate. Our great-grandchildren will be cursing our names for allowing them to practice their ecological sabotage. It may be that they will invent time machines expressly to go back and keep Monsanto from being incorporated in the first place. It is that serious.

Alex Jones has been saying this tirelessly at every opportunity for years here. He's also right there on alternative medicine. And on healthy, organic, locally grown food. He even has as a semi-regular guest on his show an old friend of his who runs one of America's oldest all-natural soap companies.

Yep, obviously a right wing shill. He transparently hates the planet and exists only to suck Exxon-Mobil's throbbing oily member *cue Bill Hicks*

The Revolution is Within

Alex Jones

I will honestly say that I am relatively new to Alex Jones and I was impressed by a documentary I BELIEVE he did on False flag operations..

What I OBJECT TO.. is his very obvious disdain for Earth spirituality.. I am sorry.. but it comes out very clearly in his Avatar review... "Gaia worship"....

It was frustrating to watch and try and untangle what he was saying.. so much was being thrown out there.

Again. I do not believe that the movie AVATAR was some kind of evil plot to subvert our minds....

It is a great movie. You may disagree.. but I personally found it beautiful.. and didn't feel manipulated by it. IF that makes me some sort of sheep.. well. whatever.

You have to understand that PTB in the US and even other more advanced nations cannot OVERTLY censor.. People would be all over that... WE are too sophisticated for that very amatuerish action.

They let movies like Avatar and V for Vendetta to get made but THEN .. they get out there with reviewers. bloggers, counter information and just plug away to dismish the power thesee movies have.

Watch Century of the Self ... it is an excellent documentary.

PR is VERY sophisticated. I believe honestly that Evolver.. and other similar sites HAVE BEEN INFILTRATED by SHILLS... to cause dissension. Make NO MISTAKE.. SHILLS are everywhere... intentionally creating confusion, misdirection and misinformation... and dissension.

That is what I believe sets people off.. I get suspicious when I hear strange accusations.. I am like WHAT?

It is like 9/11 stuff. There is a lot of valid evidence pointing to terrorism.. AS WELL AS intentional IMPLOSIONS.... Yet.. there are a few 9/11 "truthers".. that probably have said some really outrageus things . One of the FIRST ones I heard was that the Planes were drones and all the passengers were being hidden somewhere being used for experiments... Uhmmm yeah...

But that kind of nutty "out there".. stuff has the very desired affect of discrediting entire movements. You have to watch it. Most folks are NOT as intelligent. Do NOT have the ability to think critically OR have the time to untangle the evidence and accusations and lies.

all they have to do is throw one bit of disinformation out there and let it do it's thing.... Even if the "Nutty" people are not plants.. but just average folks... be careful.. and make sure you know what you are talking about.

It is like the Norway spiral...

I don't believe it was a rocket.. But nor do I believe it was an Alien wormhole...
Most likely HAARP.

Understand the "conspiracies".. and be careful not to get them all mixed up with each other.. lest you be accused of being a fool.

Namaste

environmental causes

Caelidh, I also feel the attack on environmental causes. However, my feeling spans 50 years, literally, so that i've experienced many chapters here. The villain appears more like angst of evolution itself, in my eye. Somehow evolution clearly recycles everything in it's path, small and giant alike. It is not all so pretty, though much beauty is there to continue inspiring the eye. Mortals might not make very good immortals, forever crowding in upon their own kind. Creatives aptly frame lovely segments of evolution and to easily go overboard. Yet, underlying it all is the odd recycling, from dust to dust, or what have you. So that hunters and loggers, still firm in a preferred lifestyle, do not want outsiders banning their particular style.

I've always befriended people from diverse walks of life, not just from one venue of one culture. So while my roots are strong in environmental dedication and causes. I made sure these were consistent with hunters, loggers and others. In younger years, here in the woods, it seemed nearly unsurmountable. Yet, fast forward to today, i have to say, it has actually worked out, naturally. Loggers have chosen selective cutting, all on their own. Why? Because finally they saw a secondary market in real-estate, where they could more than triple their investment, with careful, artful cutting of the woods. The hunters, too, have proven their own value, where deer can ravage a vegans self-sufficient garden. Just two local examples, long observed. I do think Alex could expand his horizons and work more at welcoming environmentalists against the revolving door fascists. He has a full plate though, already. He does respect environment through native culture. There is much room for others to jump in. May we avoid a demagogue in our current evolution.

Psychegram, I liked your walking encyclopedia of talking points. I too have long wondered about human population levels. With consequential impacts upon the environment. Eugenics is not exclusively kleptocratic (as infowars seems to infer). Eugenics can almost be considered in the realm of favorable breeding. It might even include fostering of hybrid vigor. My regret is more that evolution may be the final arbiter to disharmonious human propagation. Since rarely, if ever, can be found a discussion about harmonious protocols for population growth. Instead we get those weird arguments like "when does holy life begin".

As to global warming phrasings. Yes, i honestly wonder why the subject was so streamlined, almost narrowed down. As if the public would not accept a broad scope of analysis, which compared prospective candidates, of causes and effects. Why couldn't 'they' just raise the alarm about 'pollution'. Or carbon misuses, which are so many as to be nearly every human industry?

I hope others of you keep posting back with evolver thoughts and feelings. I hope someone will make an evolved discussion site, using 'audible media' instead of so much eyeball calisthenics. Then it could better fit within the work day.

Global warming and the "greenhouse effect"

I distinctly remember that in the 80's.. Climate change was referred to as THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT.... and yes.. it WAS talked about.. along with the Ozone hole....

so no "Climate change" isn't NEW ...

and for some stupid reason I keep hearing from folks saying that our planet is COOLING (ok.. then.. the icecaps are NOT melting????)...

The theory goes.. that the polar icecaps ARE melting... and the cool water getting mixed into our oceans will then COOL the Gulf stream c onvection in our oceans.. and THAT might bring about a cooler climate.. but one that is still different than what we are used too.. This is what DRIVES ME NUTS about folks who don't understand the complexities.. We are such a dumbed down STUPID Population... we cannot see larger patterns .. understand more complex connections..

what a bunch of SHEEP!! and that is insulting to sheep!

chaos theory

Has it not reached into "chaos theory" already? Mathematically referring to so many ingredients there to measure and model-- Even the solar wind, ebbing and flowing as it has, among them. In any case, so many graph spikes up and down, on so many unconnected charts displayed, will not comprise irrefutable logic, for all time. Why cannot the well paid experts out there make better sense of connecting the charts together? So that the thinking public can better think out this whole subject?
