When I wrote "the political pulley system" post, I chose to provide solutions you need to know about rather than simply pointing out the problems. You and I are subject to the problems of the world through multiple media sources daily. Time for you to stop thinking about the problems and start taking action towards solutions.
A focal point of my blogs have been the importance of understanding the financial system in today's world. You spend your money based on your emotions. A successful financial mindset separates your emotional attachment to money. Money is just a tool for success.
Another point I have been trying to prove to you in my blog; currently money is being supplied in a fashion damaging our world. From outer space looking down on the world it must be like watching an ant farm.
This is "The Story of Stuff" that Annie Leonard shares from her experience of asking questions about life. You, I, and the rest of the consumers are in this cycle of spending money.
The solution is to break your pattern of spending and change your spending for a brighter future.
I watched this post by Gary Vaynerchuk, if you are not familiar with him, he is the author of "Crush It". An excellent book explaining why you can cash in on your passion. Now is the time on the internet to do so.
In the video, Gary Vaynerchuk discusses his next book "The Thankful Economy". In the speech, he explained how all information is recorded in this day and age. He talked about how we have only reached the tip of the iceberg with the value created by the internet.
Gary's belief is the internet's booming expansion will come from baby boomers. Baby boomers will bring back the mom and pop feel to doing business with the customer. Gary is all about being thankful for those who support you.
Gary Vaynerchuk is about the hustle; his hustle is now reaching a new height of appreciation with a higher code of ethics. I am excited to read his next book.
I felt as though I connected with Gary when I read his book; the way he discussed an entrepreneurs passion in "Crush It" and described the potential of the internet. It was everything I knew, but I had done nothing about it the way he had. His story is a wonderful perspective on life's possibilities.
In his speech in the video he also referred to maybe calling his new book, "The Giving a F&*K Economy".
Psychologically people just like you and I are trying to better ourselves. I did not think I would ever swear in my blog; I never want to offend you, but... again I connected with Gary and could feel his passion about just wanting people to care.
Spiral dynamics is the process of psychological development, which is a measure of psychological success. When you succeed more and more, you move up the levels of the psychological scale, spiral dynamics.
The internet is a tool you can use to develop your mindsets for the financial system, personal accountability, and psychological development. No one person has the answer; no one can change the world alone, but you can better those willing to learn from you.
You have to understand the benefits of developing the psychological skills to better the world. The average person in this world needs to be smarter. Are you participating in the conversation to better others?
Together we can improve the psychological level of being average. The top level of spiral dynamics is a spiritual, holistic person. Can you improve your level of thinking to understand this psychology of improving the world?
Learning to tell your story is being grateful for the experiences leading you to this point. It is your story of struggle; how you learned to deal with your emotions in developing this higher level of success.
You caring enough to be thankful for those experiences is a big step in increasing your psychological awareness.
Thank you to each of my friends and family who have been putting up with my bold viewpoints as I have gone through this development; thank you for believing in me. I appreciate all the feedback I have received, and I apologize for being slightly annoying.

Just A Plant
I finally was able to watch "How Weed Won The West", from the producers of the "American Drug War". Another one of about fifty documentaries regarding the benefits of a simple plant.
A beneficial plant in its entirety; the stem (fiber), the seeds, the oil, and the flower. Of course, like many plants, there are multiple strains with different benefits.
The benefits include:
1) Grows well in many different environments giving the plant great ability to decrease CO2 emissions.
2) Can be substituted for paper products instead of trees; using less chemicals in the pulp process.
3) Can be used for clothing and does not require pesticides like cotton.
4) Provides health benefits for both preventative care and medicinal purposes.
What might this miraculous plant be?
Hemp!
Not only does growing hemp help with the greenhouse gas effect of CO2, but its production for paper could save countless species being destroyed preventing the destruction of rain forests.
Hemp has four times the amount of fiber compared to pine trees. Pine based pulp only has three cycles for recycling versus the seven rotations provided by hemp pulp.
The fiber of hemp is one of the longest and strongest. Hemp can be grown without any harsh chemicals such as herbicides or pesticides; making it much more ecologically friendly.
Imagine to go containers from restaurants being made from hemp, rather than styrofoam, plastic, or even recycled paper. This would reduce the demand for oil, and would utilize less chemicals than the process of using recycled paper.
Hemp has a 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3, which is optimal for the human body. Many farm raised fish and commercial omega supplements do not even offer this perfect ratio. The seeds or oil can be consumed to gain these benefits into your diet.
Currently in the United States hemp products are mostly imported from Canada. This is taking away potential jobs from Americans and increasing the consumption of oil during the transportation of the products.
Each of the hemp plants described thus far are a strand of hemp with little to no THC, known as industrial hemp. This plant is not a drug!
However, the flower of many other strains is rising in popularity as the prescription of choice. The oil from these strains can be used for medicinal purposes as well. The flower can be smoked, vaporized, or eaten.
Many cancer, HIV, or patients with chronic pain or anxiety and depression are discovering this medicine replaces many of the prescription drugs being prescribed. The flower comes without the side effects of prescription drugs as an added benefit.
The point at the end of "How Weed Won the West," made by Alex Jones, was that legalizing this wonderful plant, hemp, is not all about legalizing a drug. Alex Jones ensures in the movie he is not a smoker. Whether you smoke or not, you need to be participating in the conversation to make this legal legislation for each State to decide for themselves.
Decreasing the "criminals" in our courts system, lessening the prison population, and lowering tax dollars are all just another added benefit. :-)
Do you see the financial system controlling the government here in a way that is harmful for our environment? I feel like the world is oblivious to this.
Here are the facts, this plant called hemp is as incredible as described including all the environmental benefits, but here is the ugly truth.
If this plant were grown regularly the financial system would not be creating debt to pay for the war on drugs; the pharmaceutical companies would make far less money; the logging industry would be forever changed; oil products would be consumed at a much slower rate; chemical companies sales would be slashed; the judicial system would have fewer employees; the demand for lawyers would decrease.
As you can see all the big players making all the dough are going to lose.
Time for you and all your friends to start participating in the conversation for legalization. If not, the global environment will continue to suffer.
Water ways will continue to be polluted. The CO2 gases will continue to rise as more, and more rain forests are destroyed.
A great organization to get involved with and support is NORML, The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
P.S. If you want to hear the financial system information from another perspective, please check out Annie Leonard in "The Story of Stuff".

P.S.S.S. Purchase hemp seeds or oil here. Find out first hand the benefits of eating them for yourself.

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.
