Try to vision a politician encouraging the people to refrain from drinking sodas and bottled water behind a commitment of high quality tap water for everyone.
Can’t do it, can you. Of course not. Coke is the real thing and nothing is ”realer” than air pollution, environmental fever and corporate profits. The bottled beverage industry is a major contributor of carbon to the atmosphere while weakening the economy of the people and deteriorating their health. It contributes nothing of benefit to anyone other than corporate commanders. Yet despite our heated prospects of extinction an unnamed taboo prevents the issue of bottled drinks from appearing on the public stage, a stage lit by the (corporate owned) mainstream media.
Nothing prevents the people themselves from abandoning the bottled beverage fix to drink inexpensive, healthy and sustainable water, but sacrificing ”the real thing” in the struggle for survival seems too much to ask. Whining progressives prefer to make noisy demands and sing the glory of fantasy battles. Insignificant projects of sound and fury are preferred to simple doable actions.
The day will come when the herd stampedes …
off the cliffs of existence.

The West Bank is now the Samaria-Judea Area
A 60 mm strand of feather
How did Mom nature learn to create this pattern,
switching from white to black or black to white
at different times for each strand of the feather
to create a circular pattern of dots?
She’s obviously a programming artist
who knows how to fly with algorithms.
It must have taken millions of years to get it right,
hundreds of millions if we count from the time
this bird was a dinosaur.
That’s a long time for us
but Mom nature has all the time
… all the time.
She was also creating many different
and much more complicated
living structures
while lining up the dots of a feather.
Looking for miracles?
Get your head out of your dark dot and look around you.
Can you see any form of life
any speck, spot or dot
that is not a miracle?

Update: No more West Bank. It’s now Judea-Samaria area.
The quest for profit
squeezes gold
to bleed from the wall steel.
The gold runs like the art of necessity
looking for humus
and a seed
willing to join its roots
in a new growth
worthy of love stronger than steel
to topple the wall
and allow a new structure
to blossom with a promise
of fruits of knowledge
to nourish a community
where truth walks arm in arm with justice
and calm enthusiasm
hums to the rhythm
generated by the pursuit of beauty.

Group pressure
sure pressures.
Mob Presssure,
the Press for sure.
Consume the goodies
Conform to the zombies
Contain the hoodies
Condemn the groupies
not the group pressurers
or the mob pressurees
or the group with treasuries.
Pressure freedom
with secret-group surveillance
of a small-percentage alliance
mob-group pressuring for compliance
preventing defiance
to continue the dying dance.
Love pressure
Life’s pressure
Group pleasure
A song from above
A warning from a dove
A poisoned hand
pressuring down with an eco glove.
Mob-fear pressure
Freedom to praise cool killers
hiding real rulers
and criticize common sense
and love-threaten nonsense
in accordance with group obedience.

When discovering faded and flaked paint on a window frame, IP#1 wrote an article criticizing the sun.
IP#2 praised the article stressing the importance of speaking truth to energy.
IP#3 was determined to organize a demonstration against the sun and set out to get financing from corporations selling sunglasses.
IP#4 pointed a politically crooked finger at ethnic fanatics who had failed to install shading above the window.
Professor IP#5 explained that the house was facing in the wrong direction thereby attracting unnecessary thermal stress. Turning the house 30 degrees could eliminate 46.6% of the stress.
The debate that filled the media left no room for comments from the shadows about scrapers and fresh paint.

Money-oriented lives
serve corporations
give them power
drink their manipulated water
eat their junk
wear their slave-produced materials
consume their chemicals
breath their contamination
enrich greed-diseased directors
and help turn up the heat
on a sweating world
torn with angry steel
ravaged with violent fire
deafened with booms, bangs,

People-oriented lives

Money-oriented lives

Shoreline flipped 90 degrees CCW
They hunt love in the jungle of things
imagining themselves well equipped,
unaware of the burden of their needs
or the handicap of their wants.
They are loaded with Musts, Oughts and Shoulds
as if love cared about laws and rules
other than the law of life and the rule of desire.
They think by capturing love they can train it to produce happiness
whenever they scold their emptiness.
They want to give and take, but love never takes.
It gives and grows by what it receives.
It cares not for things.
Caresses weigh deeper than gifts.
A kiss on the back of the neck
can grow into priceless passion.
They fear to stand naked in the face of life,
apologize for the purity of their desires
and look for love among things,
imagining that love can be captured.
Love is the hunter.

More than 70% of American adults are overweight and over 30% are obese. Waistlines started expanding in the late 50s, picked up speed in the 60s and went into overdrive from the 80s. Diet books surf the waves on the tide of flesh. A smorgasbord of experts, committees, organizations, media articles and TV programs feed off the fat of the land. Fingers greased with political correctness point at Fat Freddy and Betty Obese for eating too much and exercising too little.
Not true!
This picture of Freddy and Betty portrays an obese lie. When a few people become overweight they represent an exception. Today overweight is the norm. The people not overweight are the exceptions. You wouldn’t know this staring at the media where predominantly exceptional (not overweight) people populate the territory in front of cameras.
Freddy and Betty haven’t “grown” fat. They’ve been fattened. They are victims of a hunger for profits. Weight increase is a global trend. The exceptional nation expanded exceptionally to begin with but other nations are catching up and researchers are catching on.
research has completely demolished this notion (that fewer calories will result in weight loss), showing that artificial sweeteners actually have the converse effect; they lower appetite suppressant chemicals and encourage sugar cravings and sugar dependence, thereby raising your odds of unwanted weight gain. Research has also shown artificial sweeteners promote insulin resistance and related health problems just like regular sugar does.
Dr. Ralph G. Walton, chairman of the Center for Behavioral Medicine and chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine.****
avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague. There’s little doubt in my mind that artificial sweeteners can be even worse for you than sugar and fructose, and there is scientific evidence to back up that conclusion. /—/ artificial sweeteners are primarily promoted to diabetics and those concerned about their weight. This despite the fact that artificial sweeteners have repeatedly been shown to produce the exact opposite effects.
Dr. Joseph Mercola, one of the leading authorities on nutrition in the US.
Doctors Walton and Mercola are two of the professionals among a minority warning us about the fattening dangers of artificial sweeteners and lite products. An expanding corps of non-professional researchers such as The Food Babe, Vani Hari, also join in on the barricades of good health, not to mention salvos of criticism against the food and drug corporations from books and blogs. Born With a Junk Food Deficiency by Martha Rosenberg, Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher by Gwen Olsen, and Fat Land by Greg Critser are just three of the books that help reduce the hard junk in our arteries of thought.
The corporations obese with billions in profits have millions to spend on promoting and defending the culture deteriorating our health. They finance institutions, support research departments, lobby politicians, buy officials and command major media resources. We have to hack through a jungle of sweet bullshit and tramp through swamps of fat lies in order to get to the truth weighing so heavily on our health. Few people are willing to go this route. Allow me to show you a short cut.
If we follow the growth of fat since the mid 1950s we see that it parallels the growth of artificial sweeteners that were introduced in soft drinks in 1953. The soft drink industry expanded along with waistlines. Just a coincidence? Diabetes Type 1, (child diabetes) also started its alarming expansion about 1955 after having been stable for 30 years previously. Diabetes type 1 is not related to diet or exercise. It destroys the ability of the pancreas to produce insulin. The spread of this deadly (if not treated with daily doses of insulin) disease has reached pandemic proportions and is increasing with a whopping 5% per year worldwide. As insulin is one of the oldest, smallest and most basic proteins among the thousands we produce daily, disrupting this little chemical structure sounds danger to the clan of humanity.
Is the growth of diabetes, all types, paralleling the growth of artificial sweetners, another coincidence?
One of these sweeteners, aspartame, produced brain tumors in laboratory animals. The industry assured us that this was an exceptional and insignificant study. Since its introduction in food products in 1967 brain tumors have increased by 40%. Another coincidence.
These are some thoughts on the standard condition of overweight Americans and their contemporaries throughout the world. You don’t have to believe that corporate hunger for profits are driving the health of the world toward extinction. Take another serving of lite ice-cream and enjoy the time you have left.
What about Elegant Ellen? Try to convince her to have her or her daughter’s breast milk analyzed. When she sees the amount of environmental toxins they are feeding the next generation of allergy prone children, they might want to do something about the cracks in their elegance.

Homo arrogantians
pride themselves on their intelligence
but aren’t smart enough
to live in peace,
work together,
love one another.
They use their power
to destroy, devour
and desecrate life.
Unwilling to recognize their humanity
they wrap themselves in a belief
a few thousand years old
and deny the demands of their biology,
the struggles of their heritage
and the gifts of light.
They obey the dictates of a nation,
cheer flags,
worship money,
neglect their community.
These smart and strong humans
don’t know enough
or have the strength
to sustain their existence.
These arrogantians are unaware
that life’s justice
cannot be bribed.
