Off topic but here's a Promotional video I made for a friend of mine, Provizion, a local artist.

Global Growth Rate

Since 2000, the world growth rate, has been steadily declining. We are currently at a combined world population of 6.7 billion people. In 2000 the world was increasing 1.3% every now. Last year it was increasing at a rate of 1.159%. In Canada and the U.S., combined, our population is approximately 360 million people, approximately 5% of the entire planets population. There are several facts, in regards to this topic, that have recently reached my attention.

For starters, I read that there are several "prominent scientists" who are exclaiming that the World is exceeding it's population. One of these individuals is the science and technology adviser for Hillary Clinton, Dr. Nina Fedoroff. Not only did she make mention of the agenda to "stem the population of the planet", but she also advocated her support of Genetically Modified foods, "slamming those who have criticized the unknown effects as living in the past." On top of that, she made this statement: "We wouldn’t think of going to our doctor and saying ‘Treat me the way doctors treated people in the 19th Century’, and yet that’s what we’re demanding in food production."

We've grown natural food for thousands, maybe millions of years. Many people have actually claimed that there is MORE than enough food to go around, it is only the governments and companies that handle it who cause the complications. Yet, they are stating that we shouldn't be afraid of "Unknown Effects." To date, there are actually Scientists and Governments who are conspiring onto ways to minimize population growth. For instance, in Australia, there are people claiming that families should be taxed $5000 annually in order to have a 2nd child. So, instead of the government aiding families, some which are struggling to survive, they'd rather be paid and blame the taxation on greenhouse gas emissions and energy complications.

There are diseases, especially in developing nations, such as Aids and Malaria that are killing millions of people. Not to mention the wars that take place, the occupations and the genocides. In Afghanistan, the population was increasing at a rate of 4.8% and it is projected now that by 2025, their growth rate will be diminished to 2.3%. The 3rd world is infested with diseases such as Aids and Malaria, and instead of helping, the Pope is making a visit, who claimed in the Times that Condoms were wrong and that they actually increased the chance of getting Aids. It seems to me that, rather than helping people survive, we are being forced to struggle to live, wherever we are. Whether it be here, in North America, living an average life span as a male of 68 years old. Living in debt, under constant surveillance, surrounded by drugs and everything immorally wrong. Or in Africa, where 44 countries have a life expectancy of under 50 years, the lowest being Sierra Leone, a life expectancy of less than 26 years old.

Without the 3rd world, 90% of the items in North America wouldn't exist. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't more. If anything, we should be thanking and helping these people, many of which come and help us here, to be as successful as we can be. As content as we should be. For us, here, the biggest problem is that our government and corporations don't give us enough money to afford to live of what they sell to us. And most of what they sell to us, they know we can't afford. All of this revolves around money.

Recession Effects

Yeah, I am feeling it. Not quite as bad as I had thought, but it's still clearly visible. I'm not sure if everyone's feeling it as it was predicted, but I haven't been everywhere to see it. What I do know is that the worst ever economical crisis was predicted and is currently taking place. Millions of people are suffering from it and all the while we have the White House spending money to allow a Photo-Op and high-costing flight of an Air Force One back-up, which took place over New York, near to where the Twin Towers once where. The people of New York weren't notified, even the mayor claimed he didn't know. Earlier, the President flew his Air Force One 150 miles to Virgina to meet with Congress at a Resort and Spa. I mean, of all the ways he could have transported himself, he decided to spend a few million dollars to do it. All the while, there are millions of people suffering, spending $1.50 for ever $1.00 that they make.
Where is the logic in that, although I'm sure there's money coming out of the stimulus bill for all these expenses, so regardless someones paying for it. While our governments confer at spas and use expensive transportation to travel the world, we, the hard working people, struggle to survive.

Are we stupid? Watch this video!!

Watch this video, you'll realize how stupid we are for voting these liars and deceitful elitists into power. They are doing nothing for US, THE PEOPLE, but are only concerned with issues that concern themselves individually, like personal wealth.

Our world leaders are not only fucking over people in places like Iraq, but also us, the people who have given them the power. Wake up!!

RON PAUL knows what he is talking about!!! Listen to him, because he speaks the truth. If only he was elected.

Obama is following in Bush's footsteps and is continuing plans with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other world leaders in their corrupted scheme. We vote our Leaders based on simply this: Whoever is the best LIAR wins.

Assistance or Ascendancy

Lately, I've found myself discussing the aspects of philanthropists and Western Aid to the Third World. I, myself, have never trusted any charitable foundation in my life. As a kid, it confused me to see people asking for Aid money, to also be wearing expensive clothing/jewelery and driving fancy cars. All I would see are saddening images on television, showing children and families suffering. It is sad, how we, in the western world are given everything we need and are still able to become upset because we are unable to receive everything that we want.

You have people such as Bill Gates, the Walton family, who are some of the richest people in the world, and whose individual earnings could solve the majority of the world's poverty, yet, the majority of the world remain in poverty. Someone put the entire situation into a very suitable perspective for me: "There are charitable foundations, for instance, that receive millions of dollars. They use the money to buy seeds and pay for a hundred people or so to go to Africa or where ever and plant seeds and grow trees. Many people have responded to this sort of aid with the following words: "F*** you, we know how to plant seeds. Give us the aid money so we can buy our own seeds and have food, water, and electricity, etc."

Logically, there is a lot more that can be done. Simply put, the Western World has drained every third World nation of it's resources, exploiting them for their own corporate benefit. There are actually, constructive things that can be done all across our planet, other than building an illegal and inhumane wall that separates Palestine from Israel, other than currently spending our money on an occupation.

The problem with Charities and the Western World giving financial aid directly to Leaders of Third World nations is that, like our leaders, they are corrupt and greedy. But people can empower people. People are the power, the functioning body of every nation, where ever it is in the world. Sadly, the people do not have control over the power, which is why corruption is everywhere. Here is a quote from Tupac Shakur "Why does the white house need 45 rooms when there are homeless people living on the streets?"

Here is a link that I think reflects humorously upon the western world and its treatment of the rest of the world.

Stressin'

Stress is all around, and it is a major concern in the majority of people today. Besides unhealthy food, which physically depreciates, causing psychological effects, there are numerous stress generating sources. The biggest that I've seen, and also felt recently, is money. Money, quite simply, is a hassle. I'm not saying money is a bad thing, it's purpose and intent are constructive and efficient in structurally maintaining prosperous economies.

It is the use, distribution, and value of money that has become a problem. We, the people, are trained to first learn how to walk, then communicate, then we go through a corporate..., err, federally implemented education system (in which our minds are closed to the theories and information we are taught) and then it is up to us to work our asses off, forty hours a week, and with wages that are, in a lot of cases (especially today), nearly impossible to live off of (especially if debt is taken into consideration). If you are one who decides to get a higher level of education (I made that choice) you are offered higher paying jobs. Once you spend your few thousand to few hundred thousand on educational fees, you graduate so many years into your adulthood, forced to find any job to pay back the loans from school. We work until the age of 65, in which we retire, feeble and rundown, unable to fully grasp the joys of life, especially since so many people have been forced to stress on surviving, rather than living. Not to mention, all the wear and tear from food, fluoridated water, and unhealthy living conditions.

While millions, billions of people slave away, every day, all day, just to make ends meet, there are thousands, probably hundreds of thousands, of individuals, organizations, corrupt "Authority officials" reaping the benefits, become billionaires, and no sharing a dime with the needy. In fact, in most cases, these "organizations" and "Authority figures" have caused mass death, or allowed it to take place. They have even occupied, or sponsored occupations, in mineral and oil rich nations. The problem isn't necessarily money, its where it is, who has it, and how much they have. All of it has to do with corruption and greed. Money isn't the only reason I've been stressing, but its been a big contribution. Logically, I think there's something wrong with what the definition of money is today, simply, it should be worth more than it is. It's value should actual have meaning, real definitive importance.

The Food Deceit

Recently, while stumbling around on YouTube and GoogleVideo, I came across and interesting video that discussed the imagery of food. There is a simple difference between nutritious, healthy food and that of unhealthy, even nauseating, junk that most of us, on a rather constant basis, fill our body with. The problem doesn't fully lay on the amount that is consumed, although the majority of people eat way too much of it. The problem is more logically involved in the portrayal, availability and in retrospect demand of both.

"Junk food" is everywhere, at every corner, in every direction. Where ever you gaze there is a McDonalds, Wendy's, or some form of fast food joint located in the vicinity. Not only is it such an available option for meals or snacks, the media , and especially lately, has always featured the biggest, richest of the fast food chains. Not only are they featured on the most watched programs and events, they are also given appealing images, including sexuality, to feed their addictiveness (and they are, quite literally, addictive).

One of my favorite moments in the following documentary is when the term "Soul Food" is used to describe healthy, wholesome food. It make sense. And there's a reason why one group is referring to the Soul, while the other is called Junk. Each food group gives our body different reactions. There is a reason why fresh vegetables and fruit are so full of vitamins and minerals, important to our body. Just like, for centuries, people have made mention of a rather "lighter, small" consumption of meat. Religion, throughout history, have shown corresponding messages. Now, think about processed foods, literally, food is being "processed." It becomes semi(in some cases fully)-artificial, simulated nourishment. There is simply and logically a difference between the negative reactions from unhealthy, Junk food, and the positive reactions from healthy, Soul food.
