Cosmetics Could Be Making You Sick: Thousands of Synthetic Chemicals Found in Beauty Products

Cosmetics Could Be Making You Sick:

Thousands of Synthetic Chemicals Found in Beauty Products

 

When it comes to beauty products like makeup, shampoo, perfume, or deodorant, there are little to no regulations set for what is sold to us, which means manufacturers can use whatever they like.


“So many things are put into cosmetics now that are carcinogenic (cancer-causing), and it is allowed because cosmetics are not considered to be as serious as food or drugs. There is no question that people are being damaged by their cosmetics.”

 – Dr. Jean Munro, Medical Director of the Breakspear Hospital in Hertfordshire.

Breastcancerfund.org  warns us that, the cosmetics industry uses thousands of toxic chemicals in its products, in everything from lipstick and lotion to shampoo and shaving cream. Many of these same toxins are used to clean industrial equipment, stabilize pesticides and grease gears.

Major loopholes in federal law allow the cosmetics industry to put thousands of synthetic chemicals into personal care products, even if those chemicals are linked to cancer, infertility or birth defects. One loophole in the regulations allows cosmetics to contain banned substances if they cannot be “reasonably” be removed. Reasonably removed? Yep, sounds like the epitome of a loophole to me.

According to the authors of, “Drop Dead Gorgeous: Protecting Yourself from the Hidden Dangers of Cosmetics”, toxic chemicals get into our bloodstream in a number of ways. Hair sprays, perfumes and powders are inhaled; lipstick is swallowed; eye make-up absorbed by sensitive mucous membranes and others taken directly in through the skin.

Here’s some of the “ingredients” to look out for:

Phthalates- Found in cosmetics like nail polish, perfume, and products that list perfume as an ingredient. Phthalate exposure has been linked to early puberty in girls, breast cancer, and some phthalates act as weak estrogens in cell culture systems.

Triclosan– Used in antibacterial soaps, deodorants and toothpastes.  The chemical, which is classified as a pesticide, can affect the body’s hormone systems—especially thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism—and may disrupt normal breast development. Widespread use of triclosan may also contribute to bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents.

1,4-Dioxane– Known to be NOT listed on ingredient labels. It is a petroleum-derived contaminant formed in the manufacture of shampoos, body wash, children’s bath products and other sudsing cosmetics. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has ranked it as a possible carcinogen, and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) has identified it as a reasonably anticipated carcinogen.


Parabens– Widely used as an anti-fungal agent, preservative and antimicrobial in creams, lotions, ointments and other cosmetics, including underarm deodorants. They are absorbed through the skin and have been identified in biopsy samples of people with breast tumours.

Ethylene Oxide–  A contaminant in personal care products like shampoo and body wash. It is classified as a known human carcinogen and is one of 51 chemicals that the National Toxicology Program (NTP) identifies as mammary carcinogens in animals.

1,3-Butadiene- Shaving creams, spray sunscreens, foundations, and anti-fungal treatments that contain the propellant isobutene may be contaminated with the carcinogen 1,3-butadiene. Exposure occurs mainly through inhalation. This chemical has been found to increase mammary tumours in rodents.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)– A group of chemicals that occur naturally in coal, crude oil and gasoline. One of the more common PAHs is naphthalene. Some cosmetics and shampoos are made with coal tar and therefore may contain PAHs. They have been shown to increase risk for breast cancer.

Placental Extract– Derived from HUMAN or animal PLACENTAS. The extract is used in hair conditioners, shampoos and other grooming aids, particularly those marketed to women of colour. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has identified progesterone, the major hormonal contaminant in placental extracts, as a reasonably anticipated carcinogen.

Lead– May be a contaminant in over 650 cosmetic products, including sunscreens, foundation, nail colours, lipsticks and whitening toothpaste. Lead is a proven neurotoxin, linked to learning, language and behavioral problems. It has also been linked to miscarriage, reduced fertility in men and women, and delays in puberty onset in girls.

Sunscreen– Many sunscreens contain chemicals that exert significant estrogenic activity, as measured by the increase in proliferation rates of human breast cancer cells in vitro. Studies show these chemicals are accumulating in wildlife and humans.

In addition, ethanol can be found in mouthwash, bacteria can be found in mascara, mercury can be found in skin creams, and formaldehyde can be found in nail polish. None of these “ingredients” are safe for you, your fellow humans, the environment, or the animals that a lot of these products are tested on.

“If looks could kill,” is that some kind of twisted metaphor?

Please read the ingredients of all the products you buy as it could very well save your life.

Tips:

There is an abundance of natural remedies found online that can replace just about anything you need. I personally make or order natural-made products for almost everything, and quite honestly, they have all worked BETTER than products I have bought from my local drug store in the past. For example, coconut oil is the best moisturizer you can get.

Wellnessmama.com has awesome recipes for many natural products. Etsy.com has an array of natural-made products that you can buy, including an amazing sunscreen and a fantastic shampoo bar.



Humans,

As a lot of these toxins are found in makeup, I feel the need to share the following:

I am very familiar with the confidence we believe makeup gives us, however, through my spiritual journey, I have grown to embrace myself without makeup. I went from contouring my face everyday to not wearing a drop of makeup, and  I have never felt so full. Not wearing makeup has done more for my inner self than I could have ever imagined. I encourage you all to try and live without makeup or at least choose makeup that is mineral based.

(The image below is not intended to shame or hurt anyone, it is only intended to shed light on a serious issue. Unlike celebrities who have teams of people to make them look “glamorous,” this woman is just your average college student. Still, she was able to drastically manipulate the way she looks with her usage of makeup. Due to the toxic chemicals and risks associated with makeup, it is more important now than ever, for young girls to learn what is real and what is not.)

There are many other women out there who have also started their “no makeup” journey, and the results are impressive. Here’s one that was featured on Buzzfeed. Click here.

Beyond Beef: the Rise and Fall of the Cattle Culture

Beyond Beef: the Rise and Fall of the Cattle Culture

Cattle and beef production is a primary threat to the global environment. It is a major contributor to deforestation, soil erosion and desertification, water scarcity, water pollution, depletion of fossil fuels, global warming, and loss of biodiversity.

We need to examine the devastating effects of the cattle culture that has come to shape and warp our world and the impact of White Australia on aboriginal culture. That is the anthropology, history, sociology, economics and ecology of this land we call Australia; A world in which the poorer peoples of the planet have been starved to support the beef addiction of a handful of wealthy nations.

The rape and pillage of stolen land from aboriginal Australians parallels that of the Native Americans. In Australia the introduced hard hoofed species have taking over and decimated a great deal of indigenous flora and fauna, lands and water which aboriginal looked after for thousands of years guided by their cultural lore.

Quote from Animal Liberation Australian professor Peter Singer: “Western-style meat production is cruel, unhealthy and damaging to the ecology.”

Soil Erosion and Desertification

Cattle production is turning productive land into barren desert in the American West and throughout the world. Soil erosion and desertification is caused directly by cattle and other livestock overgrazing.

Over cultivation of the land, improper irrigation techniques, and deforestation are also principal causes of erosion and desertification, and cattle production is a primary factor in each case.

Depletion of Fossil Fuels

Intensive animal agriculture uses a disproportionate amount of fossil fuels. Supplying the world with a typical American meat based diet means loss of Biodiversity

Global Warming

Cattle and beef production is a significant factor in the emission of three of the four global warming gases -- carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane.

Petrochemical fertilizers used to produce feed crops for grain-fed cattle release nitrous oxide, another greenhouse gas. Worldwide, the use of fertilizers has increased dramatically from 14 million tons in 1950 to 143 million tons in 1989. Nitrous oxide now accounts for 6 percent of the global warming effect.

Loss of Biodiversity

Riparian zones -- the narrow strips of land that run alongside rivers and streams where most of the range flora and fauna are concentrated -- have been the hardest hit by cattle grazing. More than 90 percent of the original riparian zones of Arizona and New Mexico are gone, according to the Arizona State Park Department. Colorado and Idaho have also been hard hit. The GAO reports that "poorly managed livestock grazing is the major cause of degraded riparian habitat on federal rangelands."

Unable to compete with cattle for food, wild animals are disappearing from the ranges. Between 1966 and 1983 Brazil estimates that 38 percent of its rain forest was destroyed for cattle pasture.²

Mercury and Fluoride - The Dumbing Down Of A Population

  

Gerald Celente: ‘America lives in a fascist state’

Here is the transcript:

RT: I’d like to begin by talking about the Treasury department. They’ve decided to extend bailout funds to a number of struggling life insurance policies. This is in addition to the auto industry and the banks. Do you think Americans are aware of what’s going on?

G.C.: They know about it, it’s a new trend. America is going from what used to be the major capitalistic country in the world of free market – a crusader – into what Mussolini would have called fascism: the merger of state and corporate powers. So it is not socialism as people believe, it is socialism’s egalitarianism. It’s not communism where the state controls monopolies – it’s fascism, plain and simple. The merger of corporate and government powers. State-controlled capitalism is called fascism, and fascism has come to America in broad daylight. But they’re feeding them it in little bits and pieces. First AIG was too big to fail. Mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were too big to fail. Banks too big to fail and auto companies. And now we give money to the people that make the auto parts. And now there’s talk about the technology companies, wanting their piece of the action. The merger of state and government is called fascism. Take it from Mussolini; he knew a thing or two about it.

Read more

RT: What can Americans do if they are opposed to the road that government officials are bringing them down?

G.C.: The people don’t really have a choice, there is no ballot box. I’m of Italian descent and I’ve heard enough of mafia stories for the rest of my life. If you want to look at a mafia, you can call it a republican and democratic party. And if you want to look at the two families, the heads of the mafia, all you have to do is to look at the Bushes and the Clintons. They’ve been running the show now for some 24 years. We heard about Obama who is going to bring in ‘change’. A change you could believe in if he is dumb, stupid and blind. Look who he’s brought in as his chief policy makers. Retreads from the old Clinton administration. It’s a two-headed one-party system. So it’s very difficult for the people to vote in a new administration that isn’t part of the old one.

RT: Can you tell me one thing that you like about President Obama?

G.C.: In the Trends Journal, the top trends of 2009, one of our trends was that people are going to be putting out ‘recession gardens’. And now as we see the Obamas, they are planting their own garden, and that trend is taking hold. So he is doing that in positive ways, he’s bringing an element of dignity back to society. Those are positives. But now let me look at whether it’s true or the hypocrisy. So, they are talking about planting their own gardens. And they are talking about buying local. Oh, all that is wonderful, but on the other side of the coin they are pushing genetically modified foods while they’re eating organic. So it’s like ‘let them eat Frankenfoods’ – this is the message. So I see hypocrisy at every level. When they show me truth and justice, and the real American way – then I’ll believe.

RT: If I revert to our previous interview, I asked you – “what kind of revolution do you think would happen and when, and why would it happen?” and you said there would be a tax revolt. And now we are hearing more and more about these ‘tea parties’. What do you make of that? Do you think that that’s just the first action and many actions to follow from the American public?

G.C.: There is going to be a lot more. This is just a beginning. As a Bronx boy, my saying is: ‘when people lose everything and they have nothing left to lose – they lose it’.

You’re gonna start see people taking to the streets, like they do in other countries. People have had it, they are fed up. They can’t afford it anymore. Look at what is going on. Ten major states are raising taxes again as people are losing their jobs, income is going down, they are losing their pensions, they are losing their investments – and the government is saying: more taxes, more taxes, more taxes…

At the same time, what’s happening is, on the top, they are changing the regulations so the thieves could steal more, just as they did with the new banking act. They call it mark-to-market. So it is now allowing them to do rather than putting the real loss of their assets – the toxic assets that they are holding – they are letting them make up what they want! Come up with fictitious numbers and you are going to start seeing ‘bank stocks going up again’.

It is fake, and what they are doing is they’re changing the regulations on the top so the big thieves could steal more, while they clamping down on the little people – and the little people have had it.

RT: These stimulus plans, both with former President Bush and with President Obama, were rushed through so quickly and you make a comparison to the way that the US launched the War on Iraq with the same urgency of the plans.

G.C.: They push it through so that people are kept off guard – they put fear into the people’s hearts. Remember the mushroom cloud that was going to explode if we did not do it very quickly with Iraq? And remember the financial system was going to collapse if we didn’t save AIG? And who ever knew the AIG was, to begin with?! “What’s an AIG?! I’ve never heard of one before!” most people would say.

When the AIG plan was rushed through, the only person outside of the Federal Reserve and Washington to sit on that AIG bailout was Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs got $13 billion of taxpayer money so that they wouldn’t take the loss of the AIG bailout because they bet bad with AIG.

And who was the Treasury Secretary at the time? Former CEO of Goldman Sachs Henry Paulson. Oh, and who did Obama bring in to run AIG now for the government? Ed Liddy. And where is Ed Liddy from? Goldman Sachs. The fix is in, the game is rigged. Forget about calling this ‘government’, Wall Street has hijacked Washington.

RT: So now what?

G.C.: We need a revolution. And we’re going to talk about that more in the future. And we’re going to be announcing our plans for the revolution in the coming weeks. And it is going to be much greater than the tea parties or the tax revolts.

My morality, the way I was raised, there are two things in the moral code that are against everything that I was taught. The first is that you don’t kill innocent people, and the US is involved in killing innocent people both in Iraq and Afghanistan. The facts speak for themselves. It has been proven that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction, nor ties to Al-Qaeda. Yet the US is still waging war in Iraq. Number two, this whole thing about Afghanistan, taking over the country for whatever reasons, and the Russians know it even better than the Americans, and the English knew it before the Russians – this has been going on and on. The Afghani people have done nothing to the Americans. And now President Obama has sent another 21,000 troops into Afghanistan. So, killing innocent people is against my morality.

The second part of the revolution, why we are calling for revolution is that we are getting robbed in broad daylight. The numbers and facts we have discussed speak for themselves. They’re pick-pocketing the little people to pay off the big guys. This is against everything that has ever been taught to us in this country growing up as a free market society. It’s fascism.

RT: When somebody calls you a gloom-and-doomer, somebody that’s scaring the public… what is your response to that?

G.C.: My response is suppose you go to a doctor as if you feel that something is really wrong with you and the doctor gives you a diagnosis and this diagnosis is maybe cancer. Do you call the doctor a gloom-and-doomer? It’s the fact, people better grow up. The ship has hit the iceberg and it’s sinking.

We are telling people, just as the doctor would tell a patient, “Look, there are ways out of it but first we have to recognize what the disease is. And then we are going to have to be very inventive about trying to attack it in a number of different ways. We could go through complementary medicine, we could go through traditional… we could even go through a combination of things.” But you respect what the doctor is saying, and you don’t call him a gloom-and-doomer. It is a childish response that people have that want to believe that they have a new leader, and that the new leader would lead them down the yellow brick road of happiness. Rather than understanding that there is nobody behind the curtain. It’s the Wizard of Oz. They’d better grow up; nobody is going to save them.

So, we put out the information, we’re saying: “This is the direction things are going in. This is where we believe they are going to end up. Here are some strategies to consider so you don’t go down with the ship.”

All Empires Fall

All Empires Fall

Not All Idealists Can Be Cured

‘There’s always a lia(r) in parliament.’

- The New Illuminati’s Mother

 

Must all good times come to an end? Are pessimistic doomsayers correct when they shrug and say ‘life wasn’t meant to be easy’ – or is all of Humanity trapped in an ongoing boom-and-bust cycle that benefits a handful of dynastically-minded potentates?

The planet is fed up to the gills with poisonous fruits that swamp our ecosystem’s waters and atmosphere – all products of the infantile modern doctrine of endless growth. This sick uneconomical dogma has filtered down from society’s capstone of self-proclaimed leaders and self-ordained guidance counselors, to infiltrate the souls, minds and daily lives of most of the planet’s hard-working domesticated primates.

‘Aspirational voters’ (‘materialist yuppies’ is a descriptive phrase which is no longer in common use) have been entrained to expect more and more money, trinkets, luxuries and gewgaws every year. They rarely notice that the purchasing power of their silly toy money declines faster than they can earn (or spend) it. Attention spans are so short that few notice the perpetual cycles of plenty and famine which inevitably recur, resulting in the same greedy smirking winners pocketing the hard-earned change of the same bunch of losers every time.

The grandparents of today’s treadmill-pushing workers were led from the bucolic self-sustaining farmyards and small communities of their parents, lured into toxic cities and mindless jobs like dumb beasts to the slaughter. The first generation of refugees and peasants always works like dogs to allow their children a chance at something ‘better’ – a good running start to a better leveraged position on a faster-paced treadmill.

Before the days of television and rampant trans-global capitalism it was a common truism that ‘religion is the opiate of the people’. No doubt this is still the case in many backward parts of the world, where hypnotised thralls, vassals and fundamentally damaged fundamentalists are still mired in the offal and bullshit produced over the last few crazed millennia. In today’s self-blinding alternative world, electronic screens and various forms of opiates are the opium of many people, while high-dosage caffeine, cocaine and speed keep the marching band of sleepless sheep up to speed on their rotating ramps.

Today’s work-fodder is as addicted to money and prestige as they are to a vast raft of toxic legal and illegal expensive pharmaceutical drugs – while they’re prohibited from consuming safe, free, naturally occurring substances they can grow and produce for themselves. Citizens - who only a couple of generations supplied themselves and their communities with almost all their needs (and luxuries) - wouldn’t survive without a can opener, piped water and a microwave oven today. Many literally have no idea where their food comes from – or that it’s routinely sprayed with fifteen toxic and cancer-creating biocides before it reaches the preservative-filled shelves of their local multinational conglomerate.

Today’s citizens don’t even realise that when their governments call them ‘consumers’ they’re telling them that they’re nothing more than witless suckers. It doesn’t matter if some older people finally wise up on their deathbeds - another sucker is born every second. Every infant is routinely shot up with dozens of dangerous and scientifically unproven chemicals, which are laced with mercury, formaldehyde and even worse toxins. In many places it’s illegal to try to stop a doctor from jabbing ‘preventative’ poisons into your babies.

Populations are forced to drink water that’s been deliberately tainted with aluminium, chlorine, and the hazardous waste sodium fluoride (which, unlike the calcium fluoride that was announced safe after last century’s inadequate testing procedures is a slow poison, as well as being a tranquilliser), along with a plethora of less intentionally introduced additives. These and other elements and chemicals also taint all foods cooked in them until their levels rise to place intolerable loads on human bodies. They’re absorbed through skin as readily as though the gullet, and showering or bathing in water which contains them is debilitating.

Modern humans are also bathed in electronic waves whose specific frequencies couldn’t have been better attuned to keep their minds in a suggestible state. Cell-damaging cellular phones have long been known to be dangerous; aside from hazardous radio frequency-related problems these primitive technocratic artefacts cook a cubic centimetre of brain tissue in human temporal lobes, right beside the place where they’re held. Even under the ridiculous safety standards of the last century (and today), these items were designed to be used only by humans with fully developed and rigidified skulls – not children or young adults under the age of twenty-five.

Aside from also doubling the rate of brain tumours in adults and multiplying them fivefold in kids who use them before the age of twenty, mobile phones – like television sets – almost instantaneously entrain the mind to slip into an a brain-numbing state dominated by an alpha wave beat. The result is a population who sleepwalks through their lives in a passive existence of hypnotised semi-consciousness, while the gullible and ill-educated users of these poorly (or perhaps perniciously) designed ‘communication’ technologies are rendered even more gullible.

In fifty years the more enlightened survivors of today’s madness may look back and shake their heads in wonder at the awe-inspiring foolishness of their predecessors – much as we pity the victims of the barber-surgeons, so-called ‘doctors’ and other savant idiots of previous centuries, and marvel at their brainless primitive antics.

Meanwhile, children are regimented into the same old lockstep routines as their forebears, and any who object are deemed ‘uncontrollable’ or dosed up to speed to ‘straighten them out’. People trot along on mind-numbing spinning rat races, while devoting their waking hours to the endlessly spun lies of panic merchants and drama queens - dreaming of the day when they can finally relax and enjoy life. By then (of course) it will be far too late to experience the prime time of their lives – which was utterly wasted on prime-time TV after a hard day of planet-destroying activity at the orifice or fuctory.

Many people have the abysmal hide and selfish pride to say they do it all ‘for the children’; humans dumb themselves down into greedy pig-ignorance with the perpetual use of such self-serving, self-blinding lies. The future isn’t served by pointless self-sacrifice, and is stolen from our children by ninety percent of today’s needlessly wasteful consumption, pointless time-filling activity and aimless ‘productivity’. Modern children are denied the one priceless gift that their families have to give them; their irreplaceable time. We all have a choice and all decide what we do with the time of our lives.

 

All empires are built on the false premise of perpetual growth and endless expansion. Most of Earth’s cultures were once stable agrarian societies with zero population growth – maintained not by high infant mortality rates, but via the use of various natural contraceptives and prophylactics dispensed by ubiquitous wise women and medicine men.

Patriarchal societies ruled by hunter-warriors have always desired to breed larger numbers of docile slaves and willing fighters than their expanding bands and exhausted lands could sustain, and have eradicated the use of contraceptive substances (and their suppliers) whenever possible.

The religions of conquerors are always designed for expansion. Manipulative priests have always assured their illiterate flocks that god is on their side, and always charge them with the divinely ordained duty to spread their culture far and wide - by ‘being fruitful’ and converting or killing any unbelievers (people who won’t hand over their land, possessions and daughters to the rapine swine on the nearest spear-girt hill).

The slaughter of scores of millions of ‘heathen devil-worshippers’ and ‘godless pagans’ by the ‘Christians’ of the middle ages has been shown to have been driven by a deliberate policy of population growth. The population of medieval Europe remained too stable for the liking of popes and imperialistic dynasties of the era. They wanted to raise more and more manpower for their expansionary wars, and the religion of the ruthless conquerors was employed to drive their misled flocks to exterminate all the wise ‘black sheep’ in their midst.

Conformist, compliant and enslaved populations is the usual result when dissent is thoroughly suppressed. In many Eastern cultures (such as Japan, where all dissenters were executed for generations) uniform conformity and kowtowing to all authority figures was ingrained into the powerless peasantry for centuries. Throughout history, ‘population control’ has been the favourite pastime of psychotic rulers all over the world. Modern barbarians such as Stalin (the ‘Man of Steel’) have demonstrated how effectively you can govern a people when all the intelligent and rebellious members of the population have been ruthlessly exterminated or locked behind barbed wire fences. Modern Russia is a case-study in the result of the Soviet Union’s national self-lobotomy.

The Greeks, Romans, Muslims and Christians finished raking smoldering coals over the bodies of the ‘pagan’ herbalists and Wicca-women of the relatively egalitarian tribalistic societies that they exterminated and supplanted. Little evidence remains of the once-widespread wise cultures and superior systems that fast-burning hothead empires obliterated in their purblind greed. In today’s world nomadic peoples and village cultures have no place to call their own and the ‘democratic’ societies that surround them and steal their ancestral lands see nothing wrong with forcing them into their cloaking fold.

The last few alternative medicines (and foods) which are not touted by evil-minded money-making chemical dispensaries are still being ruthlessly suppressed and obliterated. The sexes are still wedged firmly apart, creating a primal schism through the entire species - that can easily by filled with the fearful lies that keep people perpetually unrelaxed and uncomfortable with themselves and each other.

Endless growth kills everything. When an empire has finally chewed through all the frontiers that surround its borders it inevitably begins to fall apart, and the worst rot always sets in at the core of its power structure. Today’s empires have the same tools available to them as those of the past – brute military force, economic power and monocultural supremacy. All empires fall, all kings go down - but their mess remains and their dogmas continue to blind men and women to their true destinies.

We all face the result of what the Club of Rome called the ‘Limits to Growth’ back in the early 1970s. Our economic system – and our entire global society – is based on a dangerous lie. Improvements in living conditions won’t continue to be delivered on the back of the false promise that productivity depends on ever-increasing growth. Our empires must fall if we continue to pursue the twin mirages of limitless growth and endless made-up credit.

People have even less of an accurate idea of where their money comes from than they do about the sources of their food. Strange as it may seem, most money is literally invented every time a bank hands out a loan, and far more money is owed than can ever be repaid. The world monetary system is a global pyramid scam in which more and more fictional debt mounts up until the system must come crashing down – and the real wealth is subsequently redistributed on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. The system is designed to fail regularly, and to fail with spectacularly rewarding results – for the ‘first families’ who have their foot on the unseen pedals lurking ’neath the apparently random roulette wheels of finance.

Yet puppet presidents and Colonel Blimp captains of industry still manage to fool themselves and everyone else into pretending that the world is flat, or that the surface of a sphere is infinite – or that the planet will put up with this inane behaviour for much longer.

‘Productivity’ and ‘growth’ are just cover stories for planetary destruction. Human beings aren’t a blight on the earth – but endless growth is a cancerous tumour sucking the life from the planet, and from you.  We have to develop an utterly different range of mindsets, one that served our ancestors through a million years of wise stewardship. We need to relearn how to like living with close friends and family, and to grow our own food. We also need to plant a huge number of living forests and ecosystems by hand – not just a handful of trees that industries intend to ‘harvest’ as a ‘resource’. We need to stop poisoning the ecosystem yesterday, and start sharing and caring for each other now, today - if we’re to survive the new aeon, or even the next two generations.

We only have to give up many of our recently acquired addictions, nothing more. We need to see that all emperors have no clothes, and see through the needless trappings we’ve been trained to think of as necessities. We need to stare into each other’s eyes and start talking in small circles and one-on-one encounters if we’re to remember why we’re alive! Typing on keyboards, staring into screens or talking on phones doesn’t count; find someone you can resonate with and start communicating today. Or just share some space and time together; sitting quietly and doing nothing at all is one of the two very best ways to start healing the planet – and yourself.

Make love, not war; and girls – please stop breeding with warriors and other halfwits. We all deserve much better. The new breed of Humanity is in your hands and regardless of what all the patriarchal potentates in creation may wish, the hand that rocks the cradle will always rule the world.
