I’m a little late on this as it was released in 2008 but just watched this profoundly important movie.
I imagine one of the reasons I had never heard of it is that it was probably denied publicity by pressure from the likes of Monsanto and other vested interests…

It is quite graphic at times, but it is hugely important to gain awareness of where our food comes from…

One of the biggest impressions I was left with was the massive centralisation of power and control in the food industry and the ineffectiveness of the bodies charged with regulating it. It seems that this process is systematic in many of the industries (banking comes to mind!) in the US in particular but also elsewhere in the world.

It doesnt get much clearer than this…

A wake up for those still in denial:

The vast majority of the world around us runs on or is derived from Oil.

Think it’s time for something new?

Growing Silver beet – first attempt…

I was thinking about the post I put up growth, and the effects of Peak Oil and overpopulation on food production and distribution, and came across this:

How far does an average piece of food travel before it goes in your mouth?

Apparently between 1,500 and 2,500 miles (2,500 and 4,000 kilometers) from farm to table. A new study by the Worldwatch Institute details the lengthy journeys that much of the nation’s food supply now takes, finding a growing separation between the sources and destinations of American food.

The distance that food travels has grown by as much as 25 percent, according to the report by the Worldwatch Institute, an environmental and social policy research institute based in Washington DC. The nation’s reliance on a complex network of food shipments leaves the United States vulnerable to supply disruptions, the group argues.

“The world is not a static thing, we all know it grows and contracts as the flow of life meanders.

The media hologram shows countries in recession or achieving positive growth, depending on how the data has been massaged. Consumer confidence is often closely related to the particular position of any given state. As a result all governments claim their economies will return to positive growth in the “near” future. None would dare state that in fact the economies of the world have over extended themselves and the debt fueled growth of past decades will never been seen again, despite the likelihood of this as a stark reality of our future due to debt, Peak Oil and over population.”

This September/October is setting up to be a very interesting period for the worlds economy.

Meanwhile, we should take faith from the fact that in the real world growth of some kind or other can always exist, even in the most improbable places…

Economic growth can either be positive or negative. Negative growth can also be referred to by saying that the economy is shrinking. Negative growth is associated with economic recession and economic depression.

Five major critical arguments raised against economic growth include:

Since starting this blog I have consciously tried to avoid posting anything to do with the political/economic quagmire that the world seems to be in. There are enough people with far bigger brains than mine who are writing about these issues, and there is enough freely available information out there that I felt I would muddy, and not add to, the message.

However, after listening to some people recently, it’s clear that many, many people are simply not aware (or do not care) that many aspects of this world are just unsustainable, or what a pitiful world we are leaving to our kids. Perhaps we really do need to start trying every day to make everyone around us more aware.

For example, it is painfully clear that Civilization cannot go on gobbling up all the worlds natural resources without any ramifications.

It also seems obvious that the world (U.S in particular) cannot continue to maintain such ridiculous debt levels without repercussions.

Meanwhile, the gap between the Elite (supported by an illegitimate president) and the rest of the world grows bigger daily.

Are we ready for forced vaccination (of a vaccine that has not been sufficiently tested) against a disease that was deliberately spread?

What would you do if all banks closed down for an emergency bank holiday, and the supermarkets shelves ran dry? Is this what it will take before people actually sit up and take notice? Perhaps we should prepare for this possibility?

Things are coming to a head, of that I have no doubt, despite Big Medias continued efforts to brainwash us. Before the end of this year there will be rapid economic and health related developments, and they wont be pretty.

What should we all do about it? Many solutions have and will be presented. Most are as useful as digging a big hole in the ground and sticking your head in it…

My angry question is why is man so destructive? But the more relevant question right now is how bad will things be allowed to become before a new “solution” is rammed down our throats by the NWO advocates?
