We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.

Do you think they really care?






H1N1, vaccinations, pandemic, we're gonna die, we're gonna die!!! 2009 will be remembered for many things and the threat of global death by disease is one of them. It will also be remembered by many as a pivotal moment in the level of trust that they held for their governments and for world health organizations that up til now, they've believed really cared about us, about our children, our children's children....

A few weeks ago, I chatted with Aunt Sarah and while it started out as a talk about homegrown potatoes versus store bought, we soon moved to discussion about flu vaccinations, H1N1 in particular. Uncle David and Aunt Sarah, and Don and I, had, quite seperately, made the decision that we would not take the chance on being vaccinated. And night after night, on the news we all listened to reports about the lineups, the urgency of being innoculated and reports on government supplies of the vaccines.

What we didn't hear, was about the ties that the World Health Organization had to big pharmaceutical companies. We didn't hear about the millions of dollars changing hands between individuals on the WHO board and the drug companies, or the urging of the corporations to get the WHO to pressure the governments of the world to cave to a false fear of world pandemic. The fact that the Health Committee of European Union Parliament has in the past month, unanimously passed a resolution calling for an inquiry into the influence by Big Pharma's on the WHO lends credence to the notion that your health is very often the furthest thing from the minds of those in charge.

Just in case you are interested in reading a little more on the issue of WHO and Big Pharma scandals, here are two sites that can give you some more info:

I used to roll my eyes when Don would talk conspiracy theories and then I would leave the room. But honestly, in the last couple years, I've shifted over to the other side. I now believe that governments around the world are interested in one thing only and that is staying in power, and they will do whatever it takes to stay there, (does the phrase "squeaky wheel gets the grease" ring any bells?). The only way that our modern culture differs from the fuedal days of medieval Europe is that we've changed from wearing velvets and laces and puffy pants and shirts, to "power" suits and ties. But there is still the same buying and selling of favours, marrying daughters (or promises) off to supporters, and protection of those in power so that they will in turn protect you should their fortunes and yours change. Officials are looking the other way and holding out their hands at the same time.

But my friends, it is what it is and your losing sleep at night because the status quo is impossible to fight, will serve no purpose. Within the given parameters of this reality, we are all able to make the decisions that will guide the course of our lives. To make those choices with a true awareness of what is and where you wish to go is the only requirement. Your life is yours to create, just do so with understanding and knowledge. Have a very nice day!
