Modifying Change!

Mike Adams has me fired up again. The new CounterThink cartoon article is completely radical. The cartoon does a great job of making one think about our current world, but then Mike Adams wrote at a low psychological level of thinking.

Mike is spewing from the mouth demanding corporate executives be arrested for the disaster in the gulf. The gulf of Mexico is not the first oil contamination of waterways.

Did the CEO really want the disaster to occur?

Did he do something to ensure it would occur?

Is it fair to punish these CEO's and not others of past company problems?

No!

So, why waste tax dollars on trying corporate CEO's in a radical fashion?

Corporations exist because people invest in mutual funds and stocks, which support the cycle of the corporation. Everyday people like you and me are part of "The Story of Stuff", consuming products creating a demand for the corporation to supply the product.

Ultimately demanding the corporation to exist.

"So Mike putting these CEO's on trial is not the answer. Continuing education on how and why a habit betters the world is what is needed. Parents need to change their habits and educate their children as to why the new habit is important."

In the article Mike Adams calls for drastic measures, and drastic measures do not facilitate change. Drastic measures are from extremist.

I had been discussing my recent blogs with my roommate Jay Peterson. He pointed out the previous concept to me about an extremist; providing evidence that modifying daily habits facilitates a larger change.

I love and share the Health Ranger's passion for natural health, and wanting a better world...

But...

I wish he did not communicate on a low psychological level ever. In this piece he is just emotionally stirring the pot using fear, instead of empowering others with knowledge as he usually does.

Mike Adams is a big part of facilitating change, although I have been harsh on him in this writing. His website NaturalNews.com is one of my favorite resources. He is providing the information for people to gather the natural health information they need.

On the last CounterThink cartoon, I accused Mike Adams of not providing solutions. He was only telling people about the problems like the mass media.

I have been blogging about the solutions to those problems. Below I have summarized that list.

1) The financial system rules the world, solution 1 is improving your financial education.

2) Big Corporations are damaging the world, solution 2 is changing where you spend your money and truly thinking about why you are spending it there.

3) Big Corporations are preventing simple solutions, solution 3 is to change the way you spend forcing corporations to change.

4) Laws can be changed, solution 4 is to participate in the conversation; re-elect those who provide change, and I do not mean the marketing hype they use. If they did something positive or noteworthy, you should know it already.

5) Entrepreneurs are leaders who facilitate change in the financial system, solution 5 is educate to create more entrepreneurs.

6) Increase average psychological level, solution 6 is for you to know the differences in psychological levels, and make habits to practice living in the higher level mindsets. Your actions will affect those around you.

7) Improve your health naturally, solution 7 is critical to success. In order for you to have the right mindset and have the energy needed for success; you need to provide your body the essential ingredients.

If you have the fears about our world that Mike Adams points out, like me, then let's live our lives for change together. Life is a team sport.

Here is a list of a few of the team members, besides Mike Adams, I am supporting.

I have to give it up for Annie Leonard, if you are not watching "The Story of Stuff", please do so.

No Impact Man is a great example of a person changing his family and realizing all the wonderful benefits.

Robert Kiyosaki teaches a financial education. His board game "CASH FLOW" allows you to learn the financial system mindset at your pace. Each time you play helps you develop your financial skills as your subconscious allows you to make different decisions in your day to day life.

Alex Jones is a true journalist reporting both sides of the story at InfoWars.com. If Big Media is not reporting the whole truth he is likely to report on it.

These are a few of my biggest influences. If keeping up with all of them is too much for you, keep following me.

When I see some friends in person I notice more and more that they like what I am saying. Although my writings come off sometimes as I know all, I do not!

Please participate in the conversation by leaving your opinion, whether it be a different perspective or words of encouragement. We live in this world together, and together we can facilitate change.

The Political Pulley System

After my blog post yesterday, a few friends thought I should elaborate more about what I mean by the political pulley system?

You see, I am not sure if you are like me or not?

Throughout life I just notice how passionate some people are, and how passionate some people are not about politics. More often than not, I have met people who share both republican values and democratic values, even though many belong to one party or the other.

I pay attention to the critics, as well. The other side of the coin.

You may have also noticed that others have a different perspective? Do you understand how they believe differently based on their experiences?

It is hard to believe one political party is truly better than the other? You see, in one election year, corporations are giving money to one political party.

Come next election year, the money will stay with that political party as long as business is good. If business is not going in a corporations favor, that business is likely to fund the current politician's opponent.

Alex Jones has been reporting about this for years at InfoWars. The battle of information seeking the truth.

Does this sound familiar? Have you experienced one president making promises, and once in office doing the opposite? Have you witnessed each president criticized for one thing or another?

Jesse Ventura, ex Navy Seal, former Governor of MN, author of "American Conspiracies" in his Larry King Live interview said, "everyone should be an independent".

Also published yesterday was another counter think cartoon - "America Today", by Mike Adams, the Natural News editor.

Mike sums up America's six biggest problems with six different counter think cartoons.

#1 Medicated Drivers
#2 Counterfeit Money Supply
#3 Zombie Population
#4 Washington Whores
#5 Gunpoint Medicine
#6 Toxic Food Supply

Now, I have been reading Natural News for quite some time, so I am familiar with Mike Adams opinions. I appreciate Mike's perspective, but I have my own.

The financial system controls the political system, thus using police and army forces to regulate for it. The financial system operates based on the US dollar, but the world economy is based on the US Consumer's demand.

If you are looking to understand this further. Annie Lenard tells The Story of Stuff, as part of The Story of Stuff Project.

Therefore, I really do not think the financial system is the consumers biggest issue. The idea is highlighted in "Robin Hood" (2010), there will always be kings and peasants. As long as the king is just, then there is no reason for Robin Hood to exist.

Feel free to refer back to my earlier blog post on "Life is a Pyramid!".

Mike Adams point #2 Counterfeit Money Supply is the wrong focal point of the problem. A solution is for the consumer to understand how the financial system works.

The financial system works based on economics; the law of supply and demand. When you the consumer spends money, you are voting and demanding for that way of life.

Corporations use marketing with partial truths to persuade you, the consumer, to spend your money. Basically voting for their company to exist. If the corporation had no customers then they would not be in business.

The lack of financial knowledge allows Mike Adams five other points to exist. Each of his other problems are all about where the money is flowing. Mike Adams points out the problems, but he does not provide the solutions.

Do you think the problems are too big? Do you find political issues make you feel helpless?

I call this battle the political pulley system. The financial system uses the two political parties to pull the emotions of the consumers back and forth between one party and the other. The current system never really provides you with a solution to live your life with sustainable habits.

In my next post, I am going to point out the solutions the consumers need to know about in order to better address the issues facing America, and the world. You making daily habit changes, and leading by example is what will change our world.

P.S. Big ups to Trey Smith for his T-shirt "Think Globally, Act Locally", which he wore at List Control. This mindset goes along ways towards making the world sustainable.
