Eat Chicken Or There Is Something Wrong With You

Yes, havent you heard? According to Australian company Ingham Chicken’s latest ad campain:

“If you don’t like chicken, there is something VERY wrong with you.”

And though I understand that this is supposed to be humorous, the truth of the matter is that the commercial got me outraged.

So outraged, in fact, that it prompted a Video Response:

So yes, Im pissed.

Im pissed off that corporations are now crossing every possible line.

Instead of brainwashing people that there is nothing wrong with brutal animal slaughter, they are now moving on to try and convince us that there is something wrong with us if we are not a part of it.

Fortunately, there is a bright side to this, as one user pointed out on the discussion board for the movie “Earthlings”:

Once again, low ruthless tactics of big business. But I see it as further confirmation of our growing movement. They know there’s something to be afraid of.

If You Think Vegetarians are Fanatic, Watch This

Ever since I decided to go vegetarian, I find myself constantly defending my decision to others. The most ridiculous accusation I have gotten are comments like “Just dont become fanatic about it”.

As I mentioned in one of my posts on DareToWish.com, the award-winning documentary “Earthlings” was the inspiration behind my “If Slaughterhouses had Walls” t-shirt.

The following video is a must-see for those people out there who think that the vegetarians among us are the “fanatics”..

Evolution Observed and Confirmed in Lab Conditions

If you have any nervous creationist types in the vicinity, you might want to make a scene so they see this on your computer screen:

A major evolutionary innovation has unfurled right in front of researchers’ eyes. It’s the first time evolution has been caught in the act of making such a rare and complex new trait.

And because the species in question is a bacterium, scientists have been able to replay history to show how this evolutionary novelty grew from the accumulation of unpredictable, chance events.

Stroke of Insight: Neuroanatomist Finds Heaven on Earth (VIDEO)

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists could wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke.

As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment.

This is one of the most powerful stories I have ever heard of recovery and awareness — of how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

A mind-blowing story of a scientist who breaks down the barriers of science and discovers our immediate access to Heaven on Earth:

(Recorded February 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 18:44.)

60 Years Since Gandhi’s Death and Where Are We Today?

January 30th marks the 60th anniversary of the assassination of one the most influential heroes in human history.

One of Gandhi’s most famous quotes is “be the change you want to see in the world”.

Because Ghandi knew that the only way to make a true difference in this world is first by changing yourself. He understood that every thought we have and every action we take instantly affects others; whether its the people closest to us or a random person on the other side of the planet (aka the Butterfly Effect). He knew and understood that we are part of ONE collective consciousness.

So as the 60 year anniversary of this great man stands before us, let us think about this list of people we are influencing. Is our life showing them the change we want to see in the world? Will their lives reflect the lessons they learned from watching us?

If not, that is ok. Because it’s not too late.

You and I can start today. Right now. This second.

And may peace, love and compassion prevail on planet Earth.

North American Union and Vchip Truth (Video)

This is the picture that is painted for the future, if you open your eyes to see it: a centralized, one word economy where everyone’s moves and everyones transactions are tracked and monitored, all rights removed.

The most incredible aspect of all: these totalitarian elements will not be forced upon the people; the people will demand them.. For the social manipulation of society and through the generation of fear and division has completely detached humans from their sense of power and reality in a process which has been going on for centuries, if not millenniums. Religion, patriotism, race, wealth, class and every other form of arbitrary, separatist identification thus can see has served to create a controlled population utterly malleable in the hands of the few.

“Divide and Conquer” is the motto. And as long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved.

The men behind the curtain know this and they also know that if people ever realized the truth of their relationship to nature and the truth of their personal power, the entire manufactured Zeitgeist they prey upon would collapse like a house of cards.

Why The Rest of the World Hates America

Well there’s at least one thing I LOVE about America, and that is FREEDOM OF SPEECH:

So, how do YOU feel about America???

“Children of AIDS” Born with New DNA?

It’s happening: the evolution of our consciousness, our reality… the evolution of ourselves.

Most of you may have heard of Indigo Children… but did you know there are two more types that are being born?

It is official; the mind, the heart, and the body are evolving.

Here is an interesting interview I found:

Interview with Drunvalo Melchizedek
By Diane Cooper

Diane: So Drunvalo…who are these “Children of the New Dream” that you are so excited about?

Drunvalo: Well there are 3 different kinds of children emerging in the world today that I have been able to identify. The first are called the “Super Psychic Children of China”. The second are called the “Indigo Children” and the third are called the “Children of AIDS”.

The first one, the “Super Psychics of China”, we talked about in the Flower of Life seminars. If you remember, the first one was discovered in 1984 when a child was found who was psychic beyond belief. Researchers conducted every psychic test you could imagine and he was 100% correct every time. You could turn cards over in another room and that didn’t matter. He could perfectly know what was on the card.

So Omni magazine went to China and wrote an article on this discovery. They found one child and then another. When they went in 1984 they assumed it was a hoax so they did experiments like putting 100 kids in a room and taking a book and randomly pulling out a page. They would crumple it up and stick it under their arm. These kids could read every word on the page. They did test after test, and the response was flawless. The phenomena didn’t stop there. These kids are not just in China. They have spread all over the world. I personally have been talking to parents who ask me, “…what do we do.. I have a kid who knows everything?” I believe Lee Carroll is calling the children being born here in the U.S. “the Indigo Children”. I personally think the two groups are coming from the same source, however, I don’t know that for sure. There appears to be two separate groups, incredibly psychic and amazing.

It is the third group that I am most interested in - the Children of AIDS. About 10 or 11 years ago in the US, there was a baby born with AIDS. They tested him at birth and at 6 months and he tested positive for AIDS. They tested him a year later and he still tested positive. Then they didn’t test him again until he was 6, and what was amazing is that this test showed that he was completely AIDS free! In fact, there was no trace that he ever had AIDS or HIV whatsoever!

Yoko Ono Lennon: Think Peace, Act Peace, Spread Peace (Video)

Published yesterday on ImaginePeace.com

December 8, 2007

I miss you, John. 27 years later, I still wish I could turn back the clock to the Summer of 1980. I remember everything - sharing our morning coffee, walking in the park together on a beautiful day, and seeing your hand stretched to mine - holding it, reassuring me that I shouldn’t worry about anything because our life was good.

I had no idea that life was about to teach me the toughest lesson of all. I learned the intense pain of losing a loved one suddenly, without warning, and without having the time for a final hug and the chance to say, “I love you,” for the last time. The pain and shock of that sudden loss is with me every moment of every day. When I touched John’s side of our bed on the night of December 8th, 1980, I realized that it was still warm. That moment has haunted me for the past 27 years - and will stay with me forever.

Even harder for me is watching what was taken away from our beautiful boy, Sean.
He lives in silent anger over not having his Dad, whom he loved so much, around to share his life with. I know we are not alone. Our pain is one shared by many other families who are suffering as the victims of senseless violence. This pain has to stop.

Let’s not waste the lives of those we have lost. Let’s, together, make the world a place of love and joy and not a place of fear and anger. This day of John’s passing has become more and more important for so many people around the world as the day to remember his message of Peace and Love and to do what each of us can to work on healing this planet we cherish.

Let’s: Think Peace, Act Peace, and Spread Peace. John worked for it all his life.
He said, “there’s no problem, only solutions.” Remember, we are all together.
We can do it, we must. I love you!

Yoko Ono Lennon

In honor of John Lennon and his important message to our world, please take a few minutes to view this video below.

The people in this video are YOU. They are a part of us and we are a part of them. We were fighting for our rights, we were inspired to make a change and we were passionate about doing what we could to spread the message of love.

If we could do it then, we could do it now…

And there has never been a more important time in human history to remember this.

“Think Peace, Act Peace, and Spread Peace.”

A Vision of Students Today

Michael Wesch’s thought-provoking video produced with 200 student collaborators explores student’s today, their classrooms, their experiences and the gap between the technology in the classroom and the technology in their lives. Marshall McLuhan pointed out this same gap 40 years ago. These words could have easily been written about many of today’s classrooms.

“Today’s child is bewildered when he enters the 19th century environment that still characterizes the educational establishment where information is scarce but ordered and structured by fragmented, classified patterns, subjects, and schedules.”
-Marshall McLuhan, 1967

What’s the Worst That Could Happen: A Global Warming Decision

Global warming: Panicked activists think it’s the worse think to ever happen to humanity… hardening skeptics claim its a hoax… and everyone inbetween simply thinks to themselves: “What’s the worst that could happen?”

But then along comes a 38-year-old science teacher and father of two, and asks 2.5 million YouTube viewers the folllowing question:

What if I told you I think I’ve found an argument that makes that whole bitter question of whether it’s really happening or not, moot? An argument where we don’t need to know whether it’s true or not in order to still decide what to do or not do. An argument that leads to a conclusion that even the most hardened skeptic and the most panicked activist both can agree on?

So what’s the worst that could happen? Well, that depends on which column you choose… (check out this video below)

What the World Would be Like if More People Walked Barefoot

Today my husband and I were walking home from a concert and my feet were really hurting from my shoes. Next thing I knew I was walking down the streets of Tel Aviv barefoot.

All I can say is: What a relief! I couldn’t believe how good and natural it felt. I honestly felt like I was connecting with the Earth, like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. What was even more astonishing was that every person who walked by didn’t seem to give it a second glance. It seemed so natural, both to me and to the people who noticed, that it made me wonder: Why don’t more people walk around barefoot? And what would the world be like if we did? More »
