What is it?
Does that pollute the air? Is it toxic? Is it safe? Does that contaminate our water? Is climate change man made?
Many other are the questions people ask about environmental issues.
Most people are now undecided. Even when confronted with real proof, remain DOUBTFUL and somehow confused.
Where is the truth?
Mainstream news do not cover the illnesses that people report every day caused by the fossil fuel industry contamination, do not cover the damages on our Nature, do not show any of this.
The mega corporations are poisoning our World and no one holds them accountable.
They insist on emitting CO2 levels above the safety net, and it's a money machine we almost can't stop. They are almighty, and the billions they spend on propaganda only further their agenda making it harder for people to know the truth.
Also, most people with a regular degree of knowledge find themselves not qualified to argue on a technical, scientific level especially if delved into details about issues like climate change or chemical elements like aspartame, fluoride etc.
They turn into insecure, confused human beings.
The FACTORY OF DOUBTS was born, sponsored by the powerful few on top of the economy and politic. It is causing a stall of the mass or a paralysis of the self thinking process in people.
When in doubt if to go left or right, up or down, you stall your self as you keep thinking what to do. Ultimately you will never follow a direction, will not bring a difference in your life and this world.
The factory of doubts is not aimed at convincing you of the opposite of what is true but clearly aimed at installing doubts.
How do we defeat this act of terrorism against our minds, our sanity and common sense?
More importantly, how do you know who's lying?
Shall we all get a PhD and start arguing about technicalities to find out the truth?
Shall we get trapped on a ping-pong argument with no end in sight?
"Myth debunked!" Then: Debunking the "Myth debunked!" and so on?
We need to move forward and actually change things for the safety of the people and the planet but how?
We need to drop the scientific, religious arguments which have no end in sight especially because power and a flawed political system stand in the way of the truth.
We can control the bad guys with rationalism, common sense and logic.
If something makes sense to you, believe in it and go for it. The inner voice inside all of us works, at least for the majority, and all we have to do is listen to it!
Next time you feel overwhelmed by different voices, ask your self these simple and logical questions:
Would you drink water that contains pesticide, pharmaceuticals, rocket fuel etc?
Would you eat food that contains unknown chemicals and artificial elements?
Shall we continue to breathe millions of pounds of toxic gases released into the air by exhaust car pipes, oil factories etc?
Shall we continue to support this contamination?
The answer to all these questions above is what makes more sense to you.
Then, when it comes to climate change, do you need to know if it is man induced or just a natural cycle to take a stand?
"Yes", someone might say, but the answer to that is gone because doubt was produced, and you can kiss it goodbye as sad as it sounds.
In the worst case scenario, supposing environmentalists are wrong and the fossil fuel industry is right, we will have reduced CO2 levels. We will also have reduced poisoning of our water, food that comes from coal mining, oil and gas drilling.
However, if the fossil fuel industry is wrong and we, the environmentalists are right, will be facing disaster, no slow downs, no redemption chances will be left.
Now, listen to that inner voice I talked about before and what makes more sense?
Do we need to keep on arguing until it's going to be too late?
Climate change exists independently from who or what is inducing it, and its damages are real!
Why aren't we doing anything about it? Why aren't we trying to find a solution?
The solution to climate change is actually relatively independent from the cause.
We can all agree that with reforestation and by stopping deforestation, climate will be less out of balance; Instead, we continue with our destructive andazzo.
Finally, what are you going to decide?
Will you keep on taking chances by eating and drinking contaminants in our food and water? Gamble with our health and the future of our children?
Shall we focus on the solution or keep up the argument? Will you choose the worst-case scenario where we got nothing to lose or the other where we will face doom?
By all means listen to your self, ignore influencing external factors that to a degree or another have an agenda.
It certainly isn’t about putting people before profits.
We have seen this happening for a little more than a century since a political system allowed corporatism, monopoly, exploitation or the "get rich at the expense of others" scheme to proliferate among us.

The Attraction Action is the movement of energy from the thoughts and beliefs of our mind to co-create the reality that we experience.

In lieu of Crank: High Voltage coming out this Friday, I was reminded of a rather wondrous bit of writing from Patton Oswalt about Jason Statham from a few months ago.
Patton figured out how to make any film instantly better: add Jason Statham.
--
I look forward to any new film by Ang Lee, David Gordon Green, Paul Thomas Anderson, The Coen Brothers, Paul Greengrass or Ross McElwee.
And now, Jason Statham. I don't know how much say he has in the films he makes. But I get the impression that he reads the scripts. And if the script doesn't make him want to drive a bulldozer through a cake store, I'll bet he punches the script through a wall.
In fact, my entire stack of Academy screeners would have been vastly improved by the addition of Jason Statham. Here we go:
CHANGELING: Jason Statham plays the kidnapped boy, who immediately beats his kidnappers to death, then fights female assassins on top of a blimp.
CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON: Jason Statham injects the backward-aging man-freak with a Sino/Chilean rage compound, and they fight in lava pit.
DEFIANCE: Jason Statham throws Hitler into a woodchipper, eats the entrails as they fly out the other end, and then shits out Winston Churchill.
DOUBT: Jason Statham drop-kicks the Pope through the core of the Earth, and the Pope's head goes up Meryl Streep's ass and then Motorhead's "The Ace of Spades" plays.
FROST/NIXON: Jason Statham pulls off David Frost's skin, drops him into a tank of sea salt, and then Statham and Nixon rent a limo and drive across country, shotgunning hippies.
GRAN TORINO: Jason Statham glowers at Clint Eastwood, who glowers back, creating a Glower Vortex which destroys the planet.
THE READER: Statham kills the teenage kid with a lawnmower, then fucks Kate Winslet literate.
REVOLUTIONARY ROAD: Jason Statham drives an 18-wheeler full of nitro into the title suburb, blows everything to shit, and then spends 90 minutes hunting down absolutely everyone involved with the making of this film, beating them to death with TV trays.
THE WRESTLER: Jason Statham, Richard Nixon, the 'roided-out Benjamin Button murder-freak, the Churchill feces-baby and Mickey Rourke drive cross country in a limo, with Leo DiCaprio's severed head on the hood, where they crash the Spirit Awards and kill everyone.

"Rather than return fire at atheists or get defensive and caustic, The Journey’s senior pastor, the Rev. Darrin Patrick, decided to explore the nature of doubt with his congregation.
He’s asking the church’s 2,300 members to be honest about their own skepticism and doubts about Christianity and is encouraging them to meet atheists halfway.
"Why are skeptics hostile to Christians and Christians hostile to skeptics?" Patrick asked in an interview. "We have to learn to live together rather than setting up straw-man arguments and portraying each other as caricatures."
On a recent Sunday, Patrick encouraged his congregation to go see Religulous and assured them he would, too. Church officials play a short video of atheists and skeptics they’ve interviewed making thoughtful points about unbelief, or questioning the nature of a certain Christian theology or doctrine."
There is a lot more to the article, but I thought these pieces were really compelling. Atheism, religion, atheism vs religion, etc has been getting a lot of hype lately- maybe it's the holiday season, or maybe more atheists are "coming out".
Either way, religious people are going to have to deal with the fact that there are people who don't believe in god, and that being skeptical of religious dogma is not only OK, but common- even for believers! Atheists will have to deal with the fact that calling religion stupid and being disrespectful will not make people give up god or even hear their POV.
We can be on different 'sides' for the sake of debate, but at the end of the day we all share this planet together, and what is important is not what god you believe in or if you have faith, but how you treat those around you and influence the world."Rather than return fire at atheists or get defensive and caustic, The... more
