Genetic engineering: The world’s greatest scam?
Do you feel Successful?
Success
–noun
1.
the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.
2.
the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.
3.
a successful performance or achievement: The play was an instant success.
4.
a person or thing that is successful: She was a great success on the talk show.
5.
Obsolete. outcome.
Most of the world’s population would say that success breaks down into 2 categories: 1.) self fulfillment 2.) monetary wealth. For quite some time now our planet has been focused on fame, fortune, cars, clothes, property, and so on and so forth. There are powers that act in accordance to create a negative polarity in order to achieve a specific end goal: total control of the population. This idea may seem extremely unlikely as we have a government that just passed a national health care bill, however, think about your life up to this very second. What have you been told throughout the course of your life? Believe in God? Go to school and achieve the best grade possible? Be the best you can be, Army! Then on the other hand you see McDonald’s commercials, pornography on the internet, music videos promoting sex, drugs, alcohol, false pride. The mainstream media sends out mixed messages. On one hand you are to focus in school and apply your knowledge in the world, which in turns means: buy cars, clothes, big houses, and have sexual relations with as many ‘hot’ woman/men as possible. Then, look at yourself in the mirror and feel complete. Feel successful! Right?
From personal experience I have found that this planet is experiencing something new to the masses. A feeling of wanting more, needing to feel complete in a way never advertised to the general public. You never see a television commercial suggesting that you can channel positive energy through your mind to create vibrations, which in turn attract the people, places, and things that manifest your reality here on earth. I challenge you to think about what you have read in this posting. Search the internet using key words and read about these topics. Please keep an open mind while on your journey.

GREENPEACE
About Us
Our core values are reflected in our environmental campaign work: We ‘bear witness’ to environmental destruction in a peaceful, non-violent manner. We use non-violent confrontation to raise the level and quality of public debate. In exposing threats to the environment and finding solutions we have no permanent allies or adversaries. We ensure our financial independence from political or commercial interests. We seek solutions to environmental dilemmas and promote open, informed debate about society’s environmental choices.
Our History
A group of thoughtful, committed citizens came together in 1971 to create Greenpeace. A handful of determined activists leased a small fishing vessel, called the Phyllis Cormack, and set sail from Vancouver for Amchitka Island in Alaska. Their mission was to protest U.S. nuclear testing off the coast of Alaska with a brave act of defiance: to place themselves in harm’s way. Despite being intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard, these daring activists sailed into history by bringing worldwide attention to the dangers of nuclear testing. Read more about our history.
Our Work
That was more than 30 years ago, and in that time, Greenpeace has indeed changed the world. And we continue to make the world a better place. Our committed activists and supporters have come together to ban commercial whaling, convince the world’s leaders to stop nuclear testing, protect Antarctica, and so much more.
Today, we have grown from a small group of dedicated activists to an international organization with offices in more than 30 countries. But our spirit and our mission remain the same. Our fight to save the planet has grown more serious – the threat of global warming, destruction of ancient forests, deterioration of our oceans, and the threat of a nuclear disaster loom large. Greenpeace is actively working to address these and other threats. Read more about our campaigns.
Greenpeace USA (Greenpeace, Inc.) is registered with the InternalRevenue Service as a 501 (c) (4) entity and furthers its mission ofprotecting the environment through research, advocacy and lobbying.
Highlights from 2009
Our Funding
Greenpeace does not solicit contributions from government or corporations, nor will we endorse political candidates. Our 250,000 members in the United States and 2.8 million members worldwide provide virtually all of our funding through individual contributions. Your support provides the backbone of our organization and is invaluable to our efforts. Please consider making a donation today.
A Conversation With Jan Chipchase and Frog Design’s Chief Creative, Mark Rolston
BY Cliff Kuang
It’s a big move for Frog and Chipchase both. For Nokia, Chipchase has roamed the developing world, trying to figure out what sorts of cell phones the developing world needs. At Frog, he’ll work from Shanghai, trying to understand the needs and wants of consumers in China, Frog’s most hopeful frontier. The company opened an office there just three years ago, but Chinese clients already comprise 20% of its total business.

OCA Exposes ‘Organic Cheaters’ at West Coast Trade Show
By Mike Adams
Natural News, April 1, 2010
Straight to the Source
The Organic Consumers Association has long fought against what it calls “organic cheater brands” - personal care products that use the name “organic” in the product name or brand, yet are not truly organic products at all. This year at the Expo West Natural Products Expo in Anaheim, California, the OCA staged a very visible public protest to expose what it calls “sham poo products” that are “organic cheaters.”
