It may be 500 years since Columbus and his crew came to the new world, but our new world society hasn’t been here that long. When did we start to be really influential? 1700s maybe? So if we’re at 300-350 don’t we have another 150-200 to go?

On the 500 year spectrum I’m going more with by Douglas Rushkoff here in the ideas out of the Renaissance where Kings tried to control the merchant class by giving out “Royal Corporate Charters” that eventually has now led to what I now call the totalitarian corporatist state that we are currently living under. It all blew up in a financial thermonuclear detonation on September 15th, 2008. We are still trying to deal with that fact. Watch his little enlightening short movie!

But you are right in that the Bank of England and fractional reserve banking and it’s social structure has only been with us as a system just 250 years.

I was speaking more in the time line of ideas.

The irony is that the politics we are facing right now were the exact politics of 1900! Who shall have the power to create and destroy money? The government of the people or private banks? The question was side tracked through two world wars and the cold war and the march of technology. Now it is all back with a vengeance Big time!

I am doing a lot of research. How we got here is absolutely fascinating. It was done with zero transparency. And now everyone is going to learn this history in spades. Stay tuned!

I’m astounded at the apathy that exists on issues like this and global environmental issues in general when it comes to our governments and regulatory agencies. I guess money speaks louder than truth.

Thanks to people like you and those who keep “beating the drum” these issues will at least be kept alive in the blogs and hopefully make it to the MSM and eventually to our legislatures.

Now isn’t there oil still at Mt. Redoubt? I seem to remember something about the tanks constructed on the cheap so the outlet is on the side rather than the bottom. And as such, the last bit of oil on the bottom can’t drain. You’d have to pump water in to get the oil to rise and drain. You’d have to do it over and over, like rinsing out a really badly designed bottle. So…isn’t there oil still there? Maybe not enough for Chevron to care about but I’ll bet plenty to pollute the inlet as badly as the Exxon Valdez. Is anything being done?

It may be 500 years since Columbus and his crew came to the new world, but our new world society hasn’t been here that long. When did we start to be really influential? 1700s maybe? So if we’re at 300-350 don’t we have another 150-200 to go?

I do not dispute the NOW part of doing something. We need to do so much NOW.

I do dispute the Mayan end of the world in 2012 and the Xtians bringing on the “rapture”.

In the meantime I’m cutting out High Fructose corns syrup and buying cage free eggs.

The Exxon Valdiz has been renamed four times and sold twice. It is still in service as an ‘ore-carrier.’

Have a good day.

Peace?

The Canadian Farm raised salmon I bought was from Windmill Farms, a supposedly healthy organic type store. One would hope the salmon was OK. It was not artificially colored.

Thanks for that salmon buying guide. I’m going to book mark it and pass it on.

It’s nice to know the salmon isn’t staying long enough in Cook Inlet to become polluted. But I’m still not thrilled with the inlet being used as a toxic dump sewer.

Thank you Hamlettsmill, you are a walking, talking directory of info! In the ‘olden’ days I was very active in the environmental issues of the day. I’ll go read up at the site you provided and see what trouble I can get into…!

Thanks boodog!

I forget to give the SEJ “TIP SHEET” link.

http://www.sej.org/publications/tipsheet/overview

This is a good place to check every now and then to see what is going in. With the growing collapse of print media, environmental issues are NOT being covered as well as they should at the LOCAL level. This is the public “tip sheet” for other journalists but individual citizens and bloggers should also be clued in to this on-line information tool that SEJ has developed.

This country is in very, very big trouble. We are at the 500 year “end of the road” as a society since Columbus stumbled into the immense resources of the “Undiscovered Continent.” This is it. This is the real thing. Our entire economic system has come to the the end of the road and time is running out very fast. We have one more generation left to get educated and think it all out. People have to come through now with the incredible tool of the Internet! As they used to say in the paratroopers “Stand up, hook up.” This is it. There is no more time. A TOTAL RE-THINK of EVERYTHING is now required. NOW.

If we went to Chevron CEO David O’Reilly’s home and wanted to dump
toxic waste into his swimming pool, do you think he would object? If so
why would he allow Chevron to dump toxic waste into Cook Inlet? It is
exactly the same thing just on a much larger scale.

We must demand responsible behavior from corporations!

Those that do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it…
