There is no food shortage

I hate it when people say there is a food shortage due to the size of the population. It’s a big lie in my opinion. If you have any sort of functioning imagination you’ll realise that we could have an ABUNDANCE of food on this planet. Look around you in any city and just observe how we allocate our resources. Condos are popping up everywhere, massive malls that are nothing but miserable money traps and office buildings full of people performing meaningless jobs that don’t benefit anyone but the company owner and the government.

How about turning one of those condos into a greenhouse? Floor after floor filled with fruit and vegetables grown by hydroponics or natural light and soil. Instead of building a Wal Mart, build an indoor farm system and people can work there instead of some corporate hell hole. Do people enjoy working at McDonalds and Tim Hortons? I don’t know for sure because I’ve never asked any of the workers this question, but they certainly don’t look happy to me.

We can also take it upon ourselves to grow things in our own homes. I’ve grown organic corn sprouts in my apartment and it was as easy as planting some kernels in some soil, watering it and then sticking it by a window. You could also grow herbs, tomatoes, peppers, lemons etc etc. If you have a house that’s big enough, you should have a room dedicated to growing fruits and veggies. Just imagine how much food we would be producing on our own if even half the population of Canada was doing this.

Roof top gardens is another option and has taken off in places like New York and Stockholm. Theoretically, any roof surface can be greened, even curved or sloped roofs can support a layer of sod or wildflowers. Switzerland recently passed a bylaw which states that new buildings must be designed to relocate the green space covered by the building’s footprint to their roofs. Even historical buildings must now green 20% of their roofs. That’s absolutely brilliant. This has created an increased demand for research and material/product design, which will soon be available to North American markets.

I think we chose the wrong direction back in the 18th century when the industrial revolution began. We should have started an agricultural revolution, a system devoid of mono-cropping, not controlled by big businesses and that favours farmers and the common people of earth. We still have a chance to turn things around though and it all starts with us and our creative little brains.

Obama accepts Nobel Peace Prize

The Cult of Personality is alive and well with Obama as the front man. Here stands a smart, well spoken man who looks healthy and says all the right things. Many people are clearly fooled by it. They’re distracted by the nice shiny package but fail to acknowledge what really matters, the actions of the person.  Politicians need to spend less time talking about things and more time following through with their promises. Every politician who lies should face severe penalties.

I can’t think of many people less deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than Barack Obama. Although, the mass murderer known as Henry Kissinger (one of the architects of a secret massive bombing campaign in Cambodia and Laos beginning in 1970) was also awarded this prize, so I guess that proves it not only lacks legitimacy, but it’s actually really just a complete and utter farce. Despite Obama acting like he is a man of peace, he has helped continue the war in Afghanistan and just sent another 30,000 troops to the country.

Obama’s acceptance speech contained the usual contradictory, hypocritical nonsense that he spouts regularly.”I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people”. Who is the real threat to the American people? The so called “terrorists” or their own government? The government causes much more havoc than any “terrorist” ever has. The word terrorist is the new commie, a word used to describe people who are opposed to your method of ruling the world.

“For make no mistake: Evil does exist in the world. A non-violent movement could not have halted Hitler’s armies. Negotiations cannot convince al-Qaeda’s leaders to lay down their arms. To say that force is sometimes necessary is not a call to cynicism; it is a recognition of history, the imperfections of man and the limits of reason.” said Obama.

Why do people buy into this nonsense? Presidents proclaim “we are the good guys fighting evil” like we’re in some sort of generic Hollywood movie. The atrocities that America commits are 100 times worse than any of their so called enemies. I highly doubt Obama (aka the men pulling his strings) really believe their actions are good, but they sell that moral image because they know the general public will buy it hook, line and sinker.

An introduction

Writing a blog is not the solution, what we should all be doing is hitting the streets and really letting our voices be heard. Spreading information this way is still important, but nothing beats face to face confrontation. All of us must be willing to sacrifice our seemingly comfortable lives so that we can fix the corrupt system that we are a part of. If we have to use violence, so be it. The leaders of our world have no problem using force, so why should we hold back? Why should we be held to such a high moral standard while they pillage and plunder like wild, beastly savages?

All of the politicians who lie to us, the corrupt bankers who put nations in debt and people on the streets, the owners of corporations who poison us and take advantage of anyone they can and all of the puppet masters behind the scenes must be stopped for good. Why should we accept the misery they create when we have the numbers on our side. We helped them become powerful and we can also strip them of that power completely.

Right now we are under control. We are too distracted by entertainment and technology too know what is really happening to the world around us. TV, movies, sport, news, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, junk food and mindless jobs have many of us in a stupor. With our brains foggy and distracted and our bodies weak and fragile, we are far too susceptible to manipulation.

We cannot be complacent, it is time for a revolution.
