Black Friday – lets eat the planet

IMG_4803

It’s the eve of a dark day for humanity.

It is the day that now symbolises perfectly how far the industrialised global machine has come on the road to total compliance. We are under their spell, like zombies, many will shuffle to the retail shrines and consume everything in their paths, with no regard for anything, other than their own instant gratification.

That is what years of indoctrination and brainwashing has done to the majority of the human race.

What has happened to our soul’s or individualism? What has happened to anything meaningful, rather than their sickening encouragement for us to keep consuming?

Why have we traded our lives for a gigantic spending fest?

There is now so little imagination left in the bland, homogenised and manipulative spell that the corporate system has over the vast masses. All they can do is manipulate the near lifeless corpse that is the human race to spend more and more by price.

Our planet is being destroyed at an ever alarming rate to enable us to consume yet more and more worthless, meaningless items, that only benefits the elite.

But it is all a myth, money is not real, wealth is only of any use to the elite, so long as we keep believing their myths. Why do we still do this to ourselves?

What’s real is, the entire human race are being driven, by the very few, to almost literally eat the planet up.

But what use will their wealth be then? How much longer can we sustain this? When will we stop following this false flag world? What will happen to all the stuff we consume?

I believe we exist for something much more than this.

Uru people and saving the human race.

While having dinner on the beach with the everyone from the Copass Camp, in Corralejo, Fuerteventura, at the strangely named Waikiki restaurant.

Although sounding very touristy, it is not at all and the food was awesome. Half the group had amazing Chateaubriand steak, which they cooked to their liking on the hot stones at the table and other half of the group, we had super tuna fillets.

Not sure how relevant any of this is yet to the title, but in any story it is important to set the scene.

So at one point Stefano, co-founder of Copass, was talking about a trip he made to Peru, and especially he talked about these native people, who still lived on islands in the middle of lake Titicaca, and how they lived.

I found out from Wikipedia this morning that they are called the Uru people, they live on floating islands, which were originally for defensive purposes.

The interesting thing about these people, that even in the 21st century, they live a simple existence, relatively free of technology and the things we all take for granted in the ‘first’ world (not a term I like, but a label we can all understand).

We also talked a little about the nomadic people of Mongolia, and having watched Ewan McGregor’s bike ride round the world, where they passed through Mongolia, the thing that struck me about these people, is that to many they would seem to have nothing, but in fact they had everything they needed. They are happy.

Stefano also talked about the amazing community that Uru have and there is no money, people do everything for the community. So the little money they do have is raised from the ferry, enabling to buy some essentials they need from the outside world. Again they were happy people, not feeling unworthy because they didn’t have an iPhone 6s or troubled by poor broadband speed.

I blogged a while ago about the idea of not having money, of resetting everything and everyone to zero, and then perhaps using the Echo model, where everyone’s time is worth the same, 1 Echo for 1 hour of time, you could stop a tiny few on the planet accumulating much needed resources.

We would not need to work in the same way, as we wouldn’t need to earn so much money, as an element of what we all did would be for the community.

This may seem to many as fluffy and utopian, but you know what, with $61 trillion owed in debt, who to, I have no idea, isn’t it time we ditched money and found a better system. In fact in the time it took me to look up that fact $2m of interest had accrued.

One that will enable us to ensure as a human race that no one is hungry, homeless or poor, to ensure that the wealth of the community, is enjoyed by everyone in the community, not just a tiny elite.

Yet another interesting chat during our camp here and more evidence of when people get together to work, and live together, no matter where that physical connecting point might be, that you can discuss ideas and perhaps collaborations can form to help construct an alternative.

The way to save the human race is to connect, form communities of people from all over the world and to bypass the system, that most are forced to serve and comply with.
