Why Occupy 1500 Cities Occupy for Real Democracy, Equality, Justice, Peace.

1700 cities worldwide are Occupying. All our political "leaders" make promises never kept, always at the detriment to the people they serve. The problem goes beyond the parties and politicians, it's the system that is protested. All our politicians are in the pocket of a few elite who own, lobby, litigate, bully and bribe their way into every element of our lives. Even single cell organisms unite and fight for survival when their species is threatened.

From what banks have done to the people of the US, to Monsanto's global destruction, to the big oil companies with private profits and public liability. 20 years of litigation was the answer to First Nations dieing downstream from the tar-sands. Average earner salary has dropped while the 1% has made 300% profits in the last 10 years. Our public servants serve these Corps. with bias data, subsidies, lobbyists, litigation and bias media. It's profit for very few, to the huge detriment of every aspects of all our lives. After 9 "secret meetings", presently our Harper Gov. wants to sell our water,  education, health, food, public services, energy,etc... with "CETA" trade deal. Our current monetary systems are broken with virtual bank money being paid back with real money and real interest by real people.

Over 1700 cities worldwide are currently in "Occupation" to bring to light these issues and demand better of the "system" and "leaders".
From what I gather. ;^)

Here is the video I filmed of David Suzuki Speaking at Occupy Vancouver on Oct 22 2011

ALL of Canada For Sale
All of Canada will be for sale if Harper has his way with the EU trade deal.
CETA will give EU corps the right to sue Canadian governments if they try to interfere with their "right to profit" above the citizens rights.

GMO in our Foods
Monsanto GMO lab rats saw intestinal bleeding, reproductive and behavioral disorders within 10 days of eating this patented "Foods". GM "foods" studies with rats caused major compromises to the digestive tract including tumors and bleeding (instantly corrected once GM food was removed) Reproductive function of rats was mutated within 10 days. In hamsters, by the 3rd generation, all offspring were sterile when fed Monsanto GM foods. Most people don't know what they are eating in North America were the GM foods are not labelled. The UK must label the GM foods. Making it a consumer choice should be mandatory.

G20 Sponsored by Corporations and Banks
Our public representatives need to do their job. Globally, the corporate shill of government we all have needs a reality check. When pharmaceutical company's profits legally silence the cure for cancer, and the private gains of a few oil tycoons or Monsanto shareholders trumps human life (including Canada) our government's agenda no longer represents the people. When our MP can no longer speak without first being approved by Harper in parliament, this is no longer a democracy. This is a tyranical dictatorship.

Occupy Vancouver - Global Revolution - Occupy Wall Street

Occupy Vancouver Canada
♥ We Just got back from the Occupy Vancouver Global Revolution rally and march. It was amazing. 4000 voices, so many souls standing up for democracy and to make the world a better place. Joining 2200 cities worldwide in a collective outcry for change was really profound. ♥

Enjoy the video I compiled to commemorate the mass awakening of the world.Most didn't even know of these atrocities our governments subjects us to. To no fault of their own, citizens have been mislead to support these horrors. Consumers now cannot ignore the part they play for the 1%. People can no longer feed the status-quo and fain ignorance. Bringing to light issues that compromise everyone, in a way I've never seen before in my lifetime was a profound experience.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTu5HCkh8Qo

Get corporations out of our governments. Represent the people, not self interest not the elite.
The corruption of the 1% is compromising our health, our land, our water, our freedoms, and our future. What was hidden is now clear.  

From Keystone to Monsanto, the government's practice of endorsing these atrocities can no longer be hidden. The message has rung out loud and clear worldwide. When people respond with their pocketbooks, this will be the change. Knowledge is power. We are the change.

The World vs. Wall Street Petition
Avaaz petition has hit 800 000 signatures and counting. Knowledge is power. We stand with you in this struggle for real democracy. Together we can end the capture and corruption of our governments by corporate and wealthy elites, and hold our politicians accountable to serve the public interest. We are united - the time for change has come! http://www.avaaz.org/en/the_world_vs_wall_st

Wow. 436 000 signatures and counting! ♥

Executive Officer of Suncore appointed Minister of Development in Alberta and Suncore is still paying her salary?!! Pollution investigations are killed at the political level. "if a tree falls in the forest". Spills kept secret for months!? The industry has it's own laws and policing?
Please contact your local representatives and tell them you appose the Keystone XL and TransCanada pipelines. Each and every one of us are responsible for our future.

Canada tries to hide Alberta tar sands carbon emissions

The Keystone XL pipeline will enrich the oil giants while Americans pay for it with our environment, our climate and even our lives. As we move toward a clean energy future, there is no room for the most destructive oil on the planet. I urge you to prevent this disaster-in-the-making by rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline.
 
The proposed Keystone XL pipeline would carry dirty tar sands oil from Canada’s Boreal forest to refineries in Texas, driving more destruction of songbird habitat, fueling global warming, and threatening drinking water for millions of Americans. The U.S. State Department is rushing towards approval of this fiasco, which is designed to enrich the oil giants. Please send a message telling Secretary Clinton to reject this disaster in the making.

First Nations Hit Back Against Harper; Say Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Will Be Stopped in Its Tracks

Keystone and Plains All America Spills "The importance of these actions has been heightened by more oil spills in Canada, this time an Enbridge leak on its Norman Wells line in the Northwest Territories. The latest leak follows several other recent incidents that have hobbled pipelines in Canada, including the recently discovered 4.5 million litre crude oil spill near Little Buffalo in Alberta – the largest spill in Alberta in 35 years."

With oil spills continuing — the latest coming only a week ago, when 28,000 barrels spilled from a Plains Midstream Canada pipeline near the Lubicon First Nations village of Little Buffalo in Alberta — B.C. aboriginals’ fears of oil contamination of water, wildlife and way of life, is hardly unfounded. - financialpostbusiness


"Prime Minister Harper, the son of an Imperial Oil accountant, has described the megaproject as "an enterprise of epic proportions, akin to the building of the pyramids or China’s Great Wall. Only bigger."

Twitter Harper: http://twitter.com/#!/pmharper

Keystone tar sands pipeline spills again - 12 spills in 12 months
"the company claims that Keystone I was built with “state of the art” design features and was predicted to spill no more than once every seven years. We’re now at twelve leaks in less than a year of operation. Most troubling of all is that fact that after all of these warnings, State Department is still fast tracking the environmental review of Keystone XL".

Alberta oil industry devastates an entire community.
In 21 pregnancies, 19 were stillborn. The Lubicon Cree Nations land is dead, the wildlife gone, the elders... gone.

Film: Our Land, My People | Justice for the Lubicon Cree Amnesty International Canada Why should the Lubicon Cree Nations need Amnesty International for their human rights IN CANADA? Their land was stolen drilled and poisoned.  Oil developers made $1 million a day in it's first year alone and has grown exponentially since. In 1984 they asked our government for help. They are dragged through the courts for almost 2 decades. (See Details) It's not over! Our government is cruel! We need to demand better of our public representatives.

Witness: To the Last Drop - Documentary - Part 1

A small town Canada is facing the consequences of being the first to witness the impact of the Tar Sands project, which may be the tipping point for oil development in Canada.

Tar Sands Scam: Keystone Pipeline Estimates are purposefully misleading: The real estimate is 5,000 Jobs Over 3 Years Is it Worth Risk To People, Economy, Wildlife & Water? Are 5,000 jobs worth the 82% greater GHG emissions from Canadian tar sands crude as compared to average crude refined in the US?

Tar Sands/Oil Sands Investors Applaud Shell's Newfound Caution about the Tar Sands

Our land is sacred, and the people who inhabit her are mere stewards. The spirit of Canada is at stake. If this project is not stopped, the repercussions will be immeasurable and no amount of money will save you, us, the planet. We must protect her NOW. ♥ Kim Hunter
