10 George Orwell Quotes that Predicted Life in 2014 America
“All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and
lies and hatred, comes invariably from people
who are not fighting.”
“War against a foreign country only happens
when the moneyed classes think they are
going to profit from it.”
~ George Orwell
“The very concept of objective truth is fading out
of the world. Lies will pass into history.”
History is written by the victor, and the victor
will never be asked if he told the truth
“Journalism is printing what someone else does not
want printed: everything else is public relations.”
Make no mistake about it; if an article does not anger someone,
it is nothing more than a public relations piece.
Most of what passes for news today is little more than an official
sounding advertisement for a product, service, or belief.
“In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
We can picture Julian Assange, Edward Snowden or Chelsea Manning.
The revolutions of the future will not be fought with bullets and explosives,
but with little bits of data traveling around the world destroying the false
narratives with which governments shackle their citizens.
Nikki Johnson-Houston, a black female and
a contributor at the Huffington Post,
describes herself as lifelong Democrat.
She wrote an eye-opening article titled:
"The Culture of The Smug White Liberal."
Note the contradictions of what the Democratic Party
claims it stands for and what it actually practices.
And discover that liberal policies have the opposite
effect of what democrats claim.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance, and
the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
~ Winston Churchill

“It is dangerous to be right in matters on which
the established authorities are wrong.” ~ Voltaire
When you present people with facts that are contrary to
their deepest held beliefs, they double down on their beliefs
There are psychological mechanisms that make people resistant to information that runs counter to their own beliefs.
See "motivated reasoning"
We have motivation to find or pay attention to evidence
that confirms our views, and to ignore evidence that runs
counter to them.
See "backfire effects" :
Where beliefs actually get stronger in the face of evidence,
because people spend effort bolstering their views.
The old are not really smarter than the young,
in terms of sheer brainpower. It is just that
we have already made the kinds of mistakes that
the young are about to make, and we have already
suffered the consequences that the young are going
to suffer, if they disregard the record of the past.

Building a sustainable food system
The food system is broken when a few companies dominate the market, prioritizing profits over people and our planet, when government policies put the interests of corporate agribusiness over the livelihoods of farm families.
Our current food system is leading our nation to an unsustainable future.
We need to have a different vision. We know we can build a food system that gives our communities equal access to healthy food, and respects the dignity of the farmers who produce it.

Renewable Energy Updates
>> 100% Possible Renewable Energy .... and Canada is still talking about PIPELINES.
Canada gives $3.3bn subsidies to fossil fuel producers despite climate pledge
Government subsidy to gas and oil companies undermine Trudeau’s plan to put national price on carbon dioxide by 2018, environmental report warned
A study by four major Canadian environmental groups has shown that carbon pricing risks being undermined by billions of dollars in subsidies to fossil fuel interests, from both federal and provincial governments.
We need to immediately stop building new fossil fuel projects, and fully invest in 100% renewable energy for all so we can phase out those already in use. Investors and governments have a responsibility to both divest from climate destruction and accelerate the just transition to a 100% renewable energy economy.
How can we trust our government when they continue to hand nearly hundreds of billions of dollars in government subsidies to the coal, gas, and oil industries?
Ending these subsidies would be a giant step towards solving the climate crisis saving gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, and helping make clean energy cheaper than fossil fuels.

Noam Chomsky quote --- How the World Works
“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.”
We just apply our brain power to trivial things
CHOMSKY: When I'm driving, I sometimes turn on the radio
and I find very often that what I'm listening to is a discussion
of sports. These are telephone conversations. People call in
and have long and intricate discussions, and it's plain that
quite a high degree of thought and analysis is going into that.
People know a tremendous amount. They know all sorts of
complicated details and enter into far-reaching discussion
about whether the coach made the right decision yesterday
and so on. These are ordinary people, not professionals,
who are applying their intelligence and analytic skills in these
areas and accumulating quite a lot of knowledge and, for all
I know, understanding. On the other hand, when I hear people
talk about, say, international affairs or domestic problems,
it's at a level of superficiality that's beyond belief.

The Anti-Trump Protesters
The anti-Trump protesters are fools.
They don't realize they're being used.
They are the tools of the oligarchy.
“Reform always provokes rage on
the part of those who profit by the old order.”
~ Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.,
The Crisis of the Old Order
Who are the anti-Trump protesters besmirching
the name of progressives by pretending to be
progressives and by refusing to accept the
outcome of the presidential election?
They look like, and are acting worse than,
the “white trash” that they are denouncing.
What is the point of the protests, and
what interest is served by them?
As the Romans always asked, Cui bono?

The Nuclear History of Port Hope, Ontario
Port Hope's nuclear past pits economic interests against health
A massive cleanup of low-level radioactive soil has begun in Port Hope. But some in the pretty lakeside town are still asking: What's the truth here?
Helen Caldicott sentenced Port Hope to death.
“It's a disaster,” the renowned doctor and anti-nuclear activist told a gathering of Port Hopers and a crush of reporters crammed into a hotel in Oshawa.
A massive cleanup of low-level radioactive soil has begun in Port Hope. But some in the pretty lakeside town are still asking: What's the truth here?
Helen Caldicott sentenced Port Hope to death.
“It's a disaster,” the renowned doctor and anti-nuclear activist told a gathering of Port Hopers and a crush of reporters crammed into a hotel in Oshawa.
The mess can't be cleaned up, Caldicott said flatly of the low-level radioactive waste sprinkled around Port Hope.
“The entire town should be relocated and the Cameco refinery should be shut down.”
Back in Port Hope, residents sighed with frustration, gearing up for yet another fight to save the reputation of their town.
“Caldicott didn't even come here ... she said all those things from Oshawa and left,” says Liz Stewart, 61, a longtime resident. “We are tired of people doing this to Port Hope without knowing the facts. The town is safe and can absolutely be cleaned up.”
And just like that, Port Hope was back in the spotlight.

There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force,
its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism,
and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest,
free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.

Trump or Hillary elected president --- What then?
If elected president, Hillary’s criminal record would haunt her throughout
her term in office, leading to the possibility of an impeachment.
The presidency would become totally dysfunctional from the very outset,
which her corporate sponsors including the defense contractors and
Wall Street would prefer to avoid.
Prove that

If Trump is elected president, there will also be attempts to unseat him,
calling for his impeachment.
If both candidates are dysfunctional. Is there a Plan B?

CETA Deception
Studies have shown that CETA will result in substantial
job losses by increasing Canada’s existing trade deficit
with EU countries while reinforcing an imbalanced trade
relationship where we export raw resources to the EU
and import high-value manufactured goods.
Marcus Tullius Cicero Quote
A nation can survive its fools and even
the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason
from within. An enemy at the gates is less
formidable, for he is known and he carries his
banners openly against the city.
But the traitor moves among those within the
gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through
all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears no traitor;
he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim,
and he wears their face and their garments and
he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the
hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly
and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars
of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can
no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.
