An Inconvenient Use of Truth

        It's not so much the obvious contradiction of Al Gore and his entourage touring the world in jets, buses and cars presenting his power-point demonstration leaving a massive carbon footprint on his movie poster. Where, the environmental message loses respect.

It's not so much the contradiction of artists flying in private jets to Inconvenient Live Earth gigs and the concerts and free public transport to the shows being powered by fossil fuels. Where, the environmental message loses potency.

It's the promotion of Carbon Trading or Carbon Credits, which is akin to condoning violence as long as you offset the damage with a Band-Aid. To deduce it even further, it's not so much the credit to pollute, but the use of a new form of debt, carbon debt, that will induce a new form of carbon-copy bankruptcy and gov/corp control. I refer you to the videos Ethical Man & Carbon Offsetting and The Cost of Carbon Trading and the report by Rising Tide on the Case Against Carbon Trading.

It's the promotion of Clean Coal Emission Sequestration, which is not yet proven to work or be safe and is years away from implementation when we needed the changes yesterday. To deduce this even further, it's not so much the continuation of polluting by expensively sweeping the rubbish under the carpet hoping the earth doesn't move and shake and let the toxins and radioactivity escape, it's the continuation of power over rather than power within.

It's the use of a fear based climate change campaign by government/corporations to keep the status quo and further subjugate the sheep-like masses and increase the meter and control over peoples lives. As is the war on terror, the installments of world war three.

And most insidiously of all, it's the use of well meaning artists by one of the most elitist, warlike and economically combatant families in the world, the Rothschild dynasty of bankers who are behind Al Gore and Live Earth. I refer you to the short-film Conspiracy MythBusters - Climate Change and a comprehensive documentary The Money Masters and the bazaar video Alex Jones vs David De Rothschild

Al Gore is chairman of a corporation called Generation Investment Management who are involved with clean coal and carbon credits/debt. The largest shareholder of GIM is the weapons manufacturer and big-media owner, General Electric. GE owns NBC and are one of the top shareholders along with JP Morgan (Rothschild Bank) in, Viacom.

Farmed for our money and calmed for our honey.

Some natural renewable energy alternatives are presented to throw the greenies a bone. The word "Bio" is placed in front of the word "Fuel", the word "Hybrid" in front of the word "Car", the word "Eco" in front of the word "Industry" and a fresh coat of green paint is smeared over the ancient ruins of democracy to spruce things up a bit.

Bio-Diesel + Bio-Fuel = Monsanto-Shell & genetically modified crops for fuel reliant on fossil-fuels for production.

All this when people could be power-self-sufficient with solar tiles on their homes and chimney wind power whilst industries excessive needs could be catered for by the many other sources of free energy. If only the renewable technology, which is available now was being supported to a far greater extent, like 100%. But it's all about manipulation and insecure dominating personalities having power over people rather than putting the power back in people's hands. Whilst charging us more for the service at the same time. I refer you to a Greenpeace video on Renewable Free Energy that we could all have powering us cheaply with only maintenance costs.

Instinctively most of the plans on offer feel too far of into a quickening unknown future where anything could happen in the mean time.

With todays communication technology the message could have been delivered more efficiently, especially when you have the backing of giant corporations to promote you. Planting trees to offset ones climate change guilt advertises a green veneer yet is a token gesture when there are more trees felled than sown.

Yes replant diverse forest habitat, but the trees must live and survive for decades before offsetting CO2 emissions and not be some mono-cultured plantation to be logged again.

Estimations predict there is enough coal in Australia to last the country another 300 years, yet there is enough renewable energy to last the world hundreds of millions of years.

It's archaic to keep digging coal, oil and uranium out of the ground until it's all gone when we can move on from this post modern industrial age to the re-New-able-Age now.

Yet, what if Australia as the dealer was to, in a relatively short amount of time, let's say 5 years, cut off supply to our addicted overseas buyers still craving their hit of coal and uranium and become a flagship for the world as the first total renewable free energy state? You don't think our trading partners would attack us economically or forbid, invade us for our resources do you? Surely our friends would applaud such an appropriate revolutionary response to climate change? It will take courage, planning, intelligence, individual empowerment and a revolution of economics to succeed if we choose this new path.

There's a growing fresh water crisis in Australia and the world and coal and nuclear energies are extremely costly, inefficient and use huge amounts of this resource. This lack of fresh water also leaves me with concerns about hydrogen (which is also made from hydrocarbons like oil and coal) as well as the Monsanto-Shell and the land given over and water needed for Bio-Fuel crops of GM corn, sugarcane, sugarbeet and palm.

Which begs the question: why does the Australian gov/corp continue to log catchment areas and old growth forests both here and overseas, which attract clouds and rain, whilst complaining of a water crisis and privatizing our H2O? And why are US skies, amongst other nations, being laced with toxic chemtrails? I refer you to the video Sunday Chemtrails and news story Toxic Sky

Cars, buses and trucks becoming vegetarians? Corn is now becoming more valuable to farmers sold as fuel to energy giants rather than as food to grocery giants and pristine forest is being felled to produce palm oil for Bio-Fuel, I refer you to the video The Palm Oil Threat

Agriculture contributes more greenhouse gases than our cars, motorbikes, 4x4's and jet flights combined, animal farming more so than vegetable crops, but both require fossil fuels for production, especially genetically engineered crops.

We currently produce enough food to feed double the worlds population, so when Monsanto says they need to alter the genes of some potato or pig to help feed the starving they are lying. It's the distribution of food and the drive by giant corporations like Monsanto to reduce localized self-sustainable organic production to increase our reliance on big business that are the real issues. I refer you to a video with Vandana Shiva on Patents by Monsanto an organic agriculture IFOAM Conference and a report into the artificial sweetener Aspartame

Some animals eat plants and some animals eat animals, some plants eat plants and some plants eat animals. Life consumes life for life, that's natural, it's what we do with it before we put it in our mouths that tastes bad.

If half the food we produce globally goes to waste that's almost half the greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture that could have been avoided. It's wise to produce slightly more than we need of course, but ultimately the earth can only sustain so may people no matter how at-one-with-nature we are.

Not only do we already produce enough food to feed the world, this planet and our sun naturally produce thousands of times more energy per day than the entire human race consumes per day. There are multiple ways to tap into this huge free energy source, Earth, more than enough to empower all. Microbial, Thermal Towers, Geothermal, Solar Towers, Solar Tiles, Micro Hydro, Wind, Wave, Tidal and Bio-Mass. I refer you to videos on simple Geothermal Solar Towers and Thermal Tower Energy

Sure jobs would be lost, but new jobs and industries created. People would not have to work 60 hour weeks to pay their bills because there'd be no more energy bills.
        Wealth would be lost, but a more ethical, greener and truer wealth created. Power would be lost, but a new center of power and security created or rediscovered within each one of us. Taking back our power in every way, in every sense of the word, mentally, physically, spiritually and individually, as well as electrically.

....We need to set ourselves on an environmental war footing.

....The resources (which still include petroleum products) and energy needed to manufacture millions of new hydrogen-fuel-cell hybrid cars if you can afford one (which are still made to break) is inefficient. Platinum is an essential ingredient needed for the construction of hydrogen-fuel-cells, but it's a precious element and we would run short of supplies rather quickly. Producing millions of hybrid half petrol/electric vehicles is a waste of resources too when petroleum's future is fading fast. I refer you to the news report EV1: Who Killed The Electric Car

One would think converting the old drive-system with hydrogen-fuel-injectors, a compressed-air-motor or an electric motor charged freely by solar panels on the home roof would be a more appropriate move. Until we can produce a Techno-Eco-Vehicle made with, from, powered and constructed by as close to 100% renewable power-self-sufficient means as possible, ending the monopoly of giant energy corporations and gas stations.

Henry Ford developed robust hemp polymer car panels many years ago, yet the steel corporations won the favor of car manufacturers.

The phasing out of incandescent globes in Australia is better late than never, though we should push to have this fully implemented within 3 years worldwide. Yet this is only a gesture and we must demand and be responsible for so much more. We must break the hold of the psychopathic business monopolies for we are the base of the pyramid that they sit upon, and support the new-age corporations to come.
       
Voting with our feet, dollars and sense has more influence than a vote at the ballad box.

There are many more environmentally unfriendly emissions than CO2.

Weapons manufacturers don't want peace and promote destruction both human and environmental. There's no money in peace, peaceful minds, secure souls, a world as one or a healthy planet for them. An endless war-on-terror serves them well. I refer you to the videos The Politics of Apocolypse and Iraq For Sale

Empires and regimes often disguise as aid that which is for their gain. I refer you to a video with Naomi Klein on The Rise of Disaster Capitalism  The Australian government's recent dramatic militarized aid to help the plight of dis-empowered Aboriginal populations in the Northern Territory is good in one hand, but in the other hand hidden below the desk lay plans for uranium mines and radioactive dumps on aboriginal reserves.

Every military force in the world requires oil to engage in the antiquated mentality of war and oil is a finite commodity nearing or past its peak. I refer you to the documentaries Iraq Conspiracy and Peak Oil

Coal + Oil + Uranium = War
Sun + Wind + Geothermal = Peace

We need to stop warring with one another before we'll ever stop climate change or repair the environment. War is something the media has given little or no attention to in regards to warfares impact on the environment.
        Perhaps we should push to have the worlds armed forces plant trees to offset the greenhouse gas emissions and environmental destruction from war, but this would seem rather silly whilst they continue to fight, just as it's silly for the rest of us to do it whilst we still pollute.

I wonder if the Vatican will begin selling Sin Credits to offset the spiritual pollution of religion with tens of millions of fundamentalist Christian, little own Islamic, end-timers seeking rapture and doomsday, which of course means a massive environmental catastrophe. I refer you to the documentaries The Doomsday Code and Obsession: Radical Islam and The Power of Nightmares along with a speech by an Iraqi Ayatollah on Jihad

If nobody joined the military there would be no wars and if nobody worked in the weapons factories there would be no military. But how to trust every side to lay down their guns and leave the arms factories together at the same time so everyone wins and no-one loses? Who will protect me? Who will protect me from my protectors? I refer you to the documentaries Stealing a Nation and Breaking the Silence and Fog of War

An Inconvenient Truth did promote an environmental message and for this many give it kudos, though people were already well aware of the environment through the tireless and passionate works of Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, David Attenborough and alike.

It is difficult not to be suspicious of politicians, a most warranted and valid feeling given mankind's political history. Would Al Gore have bombed and invaded Iraq and Afghanistan after September 11th if he had won presidency? I refer you to the documentary War Made Easy
       
I think there's a bigger corporate agenda at work and politicians are puppets relatively strung together on the same stage playing opposing roles for the one elitist directorship. I refer you to the Aaron Russo film  Freedom to Fascism

According to some it's already too late, even if we do make the radical changes necessary humanity won't avoid climatic catastrophe for the giant wheel of perfect misfortune is in motion. Some say what's the point in reducing our emissions when China and India's expanding output of pollution, inefficiency and habitat degradation will render our cuts useless? Where as I feel at least if we do make the changes ourselves individually, we will be somewhat prepared to survive the coming destruction should it occur and be ready to create our civilization anew. Either way eCorp and many others are instinctively driven not to give up on humanity. I refer you to an early Interview with Jacque Fresco a recent film about Future by Design and a video on The Venus Project

I give off greenhouse emissions to and like every other creature in this universe I am also a consumer and a user of resources for my survival, so to the sun. It's impossible to live a life without affecting the world, the environment, standing on an ant when walking or killing micro-organisms on our skin when scratching. It's impossible to consume without being consumed, it's impossible to have creation without destruction.
       
According to quantum science the observer and the observed are one. There is an instantaneous form of communication amongst the particles/wavicles of energy born together in the little big bang of the multiverse universe. Potential is everything and everything is potential. Balance assured, change guaranteed, consciousness rules the energy dream. Where one illusion can bump into another illusion making the space, the time, the world and the dream seem real. I refer you to the science marries spirituality film documentary What The Bleep Do We Know?
  
The question is, can we be balanced in our consumption of goods and God and science, balanced in our footprint beside mother natures and balanced in our destruction and creation?

Frequently Asked Questions

Midnight Oil once sung against the US forces then ended up joining them, what about Echelon Corporation?

Having been a fan of Midnight Oil for a long time it was quite a surprise and disappointment when I learnt that frontman Peter Garrett had joined the Labor party, who are not a whole lot different from the Liberal party here in Australia. For many Oils fans it was a feeling of betrayal and now Garrett sits on the front bench in his corporate suit with a climate change portfolio towing Labor's thin green line. Promoting some natural renewable systems but largely conforming to emission sequestration, carbon credits/debt, the continuation of uranium exportation, a new pulp mill in Tasmania and war.  
        Unfortunately a climate change minister and singer who once sang the famous and now prophetic line "The US forces gives the nod, it's a setback for your country"  is a proponent of yet another strategic US military base to be built here in Australia and our continued active military alliance with the US government/corporation. Who we know have for decades lied to start wars to sell arms and to rape countries of resources. 
        Arnold Schwarzenegger tells us to get sexy and not feel guilty about climate change, which warfare plays a huge part in. Yet I don't feel it's wise to be an insensitive sheep that lets Hollywood hijack the environmental movement like it's some blockbuster movie with a fairytale ending we can all be comfortably numb about. Hollywood has for years produced films and propaganda about violence, wars and the destruction of earth and now they care about the environment? Let's make reality, heartfelt  truth and self-empowerment trendy instead.

I want Americans to understand something here, Australian's are most grateful for your countries help during WW2 fighting off the Japanese invasion. But, when a friend who once helped you in a fight against a bully grows up to become one of those bullies himself, I think it wiser that we discourage our friend from further violence not condone, promote and join in their self-destructive behavior.

That's about eCorp

Wouldn't the power needed to build the more sustainable systems in itself contribute to greenhouse gas emissions?

Yes, but once the first solar and renewable energy powered venues, homes and business are built, they will then greenly and cleanly power the construction of the next, the domino effect. Renewable energy is a free commodity that decommissions wars for oil, coal and uranium. Thus the environmental impact of war would be greatly decreased and technology could be fully directed towards the advancement of greener and more humanitarian energy and energy storage systems. We already have one giant nuclear reactor than can power us all, the sun.
       

If artists limit or stop touring how will we be able to see our favorite bands live? 

If this is an environmental emergency as many feel it is, as many say it is, as many sing it is, then we best start treating it as such. If we are going to seriously and earnestly repair the environmental damage we've created we will need to make some sacrifices to balance mankind's greed, at the same time as grasp onto more passionately that which is elemental to our nature. Humanity grows obese from gluttony and a self-absorbed world view where other people become a means to an end. Yet, only from experience can wisdom be learnt and I'm sure the way that mankind has evolved is what mother nature, the universe, intended.

Jet aircraft are amongst the most highly polluting forms of transport we use and to limit or cease touring in jets unless the artist or band can do it in a renewable way that doesn't involve carbon trading, simply performing locally within the community and online, would be a message of action and influence that will prove who really has the power.
        The people we influence, the music lover, count everyone, could do without that luxury holiday flying around the world. Until technology allows us to travel with nature and not against it. If we don't dramatically reduce our inefficient and unsustainable ways there will be no airlines anymore, no island resorts to holiday upon, no concerts to experience and no electricity to power a non civilization. Actions like these would quick smart force corporations and manufacturers to create and evolve less greedy products.
        What would happen if we all stopped buying battery farmed eggs and chickens and chose free-range organic instead, sacrificing eating cheap cruelly farmed eggs for a week and buying the more expensive natural eggs every second week? There may be a power in having lots of money to spend, but there's a greater power in not spending it.

Which brings me to the debate of environmentally friendly products usually being more expensive to purchase and therefore not consumed to anywhere near the degree of the cheap and nasty variety. In these extreme times, whether by benevolence, government subsidies or tax relief, going green should be the least expensive option in the car yards and supermarkets.

One feels a climate change needs to happen on the inside as much as is occurring in the outer world. Will we make the dramatic shift rather than fearing it, a quickening expanding ever consuming warlike populous hell bent on satisfying our ego's ravenous desires? A major change is so obviously and prophetically underway and will indeed reach a climax, a tipping point, somethings got to give if all we do is continue to take.

I only offer my thoughts and advice and will be pleasantly surprised if humanity advances beyond this age minus some global catastrophe with an authoritarian regime taking full advantage. I don't expect bands to stop flying in jets, I don't expect the globalization banks to give up money and the current economic model of control and enslavement through debt, I don't expect mainstream politicians to stop lying to us and deceiving themselves with ego-nomics. I do however, expect humanity to stop and change when nature commands, synchronicity and the intelligent universe is infinately more powerful than all the armies in the world.




Wouldn't the pollution released by touring bands be more than made up for in the environmental message their music carries?

Evolve a paper and plastic free industry, advancing from petroleum based plastic CD's and increasingly expensive fossil fueled tours into an efficient 100% digital downloadable distribution network. Touring in jets and performing at concerts powered by fossil fuels has expanded our industry, but it is ultimately destroying it. Instruments, MP3 players, computers, stereos etc. made with petroleum products will also need renewable alternatives.
        In Australia our government/corporation still logs old growth forests both here and abroad to make woodchips, which are shipped to Japan to make paper. The fiber in pine trees, aka mono-cultured pine plantations, is too short and hardwood is used in the mix for its longer fibers.
        The computer age thus far has not brought about a paperless society it has only increased its use and recycling has not stopped forests from being destroyed and involves highly polluting and inefficient processes. Millions of innocent people have died or been left destitute for those crude oil plastic covers. The computer I write this upon is of course framed in petroleum based plastic rather than a hemp polymer, it's difficult to escape it, we're drowning in it, but not just oil.
        No wonder so many people are angry with the west, western civilization has screwed so many villagers and farmers and countries over to get to the top. The top of what, first in line to destroy itself? Perhaps it would be a wise move to truly share the wealth and technology freeing up the massive energy spent in securing it for an insecure minority.
       
Compact disk sales far exceed vinyl sales yet people treasure their vinyl much more than a made-to-break CD, thus CD's create more waste. Keep your vinyl, I love them too, but my music as an artist was intended to be digital and the fans seem quite happy with the sound. Perhaps one day Echelon shall afford the indulgence of limited edition renewable vinyl records.

Develop mobile renewable energy storage systems, solar charged batteries or renewable-made-hydrogen mobile gas tanks and generators, rather than using fossil fueled generators or mainline coal or nuclear power, to electrify outdoor concerts. The battery banks could be charged beforehand on solar/wind farms, existing venues  renovated to be power-self-reliant.
        Electrolytic hydrogen produced from wind, microbes, solar panels and water from ones own house that end the monopoly of fossil fuel corporations and gas stations would be an ideal empowering source as long as water gives far greater miles-per-gallon and kilowatts-per-liter than oil, coal and uranium.

If nobody else is going to change why should I make sacrifices?

If everyone thinks this way then few things will change, yet I know so many people who do think this way. I know others who are scared of all this war and environmental degradation and want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist. Millions of others, who through their nature suppressant religions, want Armageddon to happen and Christ to return. Folks who think changing a light bulb and taking shorter showers is going to fix things and people who think there's no hope at all.
        I also know many others, many of you reading this, who have the courage to be self-empowered, have a yearning to become universally aware and a passion for this amazing time in human evolution that we dance in.
        And we are uniting with individual responsibility driven by a deeper nature to evolve this revolution of revolutions into reality. Until the real shadow government, us, and peoples heartfelt awareness become the popular culture. 

How did you come across my page?

Synchronicity.


Most peoples motives tend to be personal not global, what are yours, honestly?

World domination, I'm motivated to write about things like moving people to dominate their own world, to own it and be responsible for their own destiny. The little gods we are learning to be that we've always been.
        
eCorp's motives are to trade only digital downloads because mass produced petroleum plastic CD's are reaching their use-by peak-oil date. Moving and influencing as many people as happens. To encourage the decentralization of power and for example: build renewable power-self-reliant villages and transport helping to evolve a confident self-empowered society. Encouraging a restructuring of economics to share the wealth.

 In a silent frozen moment the shot goes through the goal
The record has been broken and the stadium explodes
Flashes from the cameras, flowers from the crowd
Remembered years from now

In a silent frozen moment a new legend is born
All the doors are open and all the money's yours

Modern day gladiators
Honored with no mercy

Climbing the echelon, climbing the echelon
Step by step and side by side

In a silent frozen moment the foot crosses the line
A winner has been chosen and efforts recognized
With offers of a movie, a book deal and a name
In the hall of fame

In a silent frozen moment that gave everybody hope
You fought against the odds and brought the trophy home

Modern day gladiators
Honored with no mercy

Climbing the echelon, climbing the echelon
Step by step and side by side

Below is a comment left on my pic that contains the caption, "If no-one joined the military there would be no wars" and this is what was written by, Clark, myspace ID: 165188381

7 Mar 2007 10:08 PM

This has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. Are you serious with this? If no one joined the Military in the United States or any other country that had a volunteer force, then all of the countries that have NON-Volunteer forces would control the world. Moron.

And this was my reply:

You might try removing those glasses Clark and use that superman vision of yours to see the point, if no-one joined the armies, anywhere, there would be no military force in any country to take over another country, we would be as one and one doesn't have sides. Superman needs a side to take, an enemy to fight, a war to win, to be the all American hero that pumps up a false and exagerated national pride and superiority, which automatically removes one from their own equality and from realising the equality of others. Strange you pick such an icon as your avatar.

Thankyou for your reckless comment for it gave me inspiration. I wish you well and I hope that you can end your inner war so you feel more secure and without need to dominate others.

To add: there would be no volunteer or non-volunteer armies, there would be no-one holding a gun to dominate or intimidate another into fighting a war for them. And there would be no-one making bullets because no-one would want to do these things. Why? Because they don't feel threatened, they don't live in fear, they're not ignorant nor subjicated, they feel inwardly secure, they're self-empowered and don't need to have power over others. And they feel as one with the world because war gave them the technology to end war. To see themselves from the outside, Gaia, to see the bigger picture and the quantum reality that they're, we're, all equally universal.
