"Hunger is on the increase almost everywhere in the world, not because there is not enough food, but because inequality is on the increase. The need for more food production at any cost is a myth that serves agribusiness, but actually leads to increased food insecurity, environmental hazards and numerous social problems."

- Peter Rosset Institute for Food and Development Policy http://www.foodfirst.org

"Mexicans are being forced to swallow the destruction of our number one food source [corn], and the health and environment of the people who depend on it, because governments around the world stand back and allow the US to force their trade and biotechnology corporations' interests on other countries."

The Secret Language of Life - How Animals and Plants Feel and Communicate
www.brianjford.com/Souls01.htm
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0880642548/excerpt/r
ef=pm_dp_ln_b_3/107-0744509-3438167
...There are tiny cells that have built-in eyes, with a retina and a lens, just like ours. Even microbes can find their way around, tell friend from foe, and decide when to mate and with whom. This book shows how we humans
with our traditional five senses are very far from being the only sentient species. The world is teeming with moving, responsive, communicating organisms - animals and plants.
Apart from those five senses, humans have other levels of sensation to which we rarely pay much regard. Science does not even admit they exist. But many people will know the reality of subconscious sensation as, for example, when we wake up five minutes before the alarm clock is due to buzz. And everyone knows how you can suddenly look up to find someone staring at you, as though sensing their gaze boring into you from across the room. If someone in a group yawns (even in a film, or a television programme) then those who are watching feel an urge to yawn, too, and many of them do. We experience warning signs throughout our lives, and take them for granted, but science has yet to show how they work. It has long been taught that babies exist suspended
in a blur of unreality for months on end, but it is becoming clear that they can watch you from their earliest days after release from the womb.
It is becoming apparent that the foetus responds to sounds, and reacts to pain with signs of distress. Recent findings reportedly suggest that a newborn baby can even indicate the recall of music heard in the womb in the
early months of development. If this proves to be the case, we have been aborting unborn children at twice the age at which they can remember a tune...
Single-celled organisms can certainly respond to their surroundings, and show astonishing abilities when constructing homes for themselves. The foetus shows a surprising level of ability to respond, and it would be foolish to conclude that the zygote (the newly fertilised cell from which the embryo develops) is unable to detect its environment. Sensation is a property of single cells, and an ovum will have its own senses. The possibility that these cells might have an awareness of the fertilisation process seems incredible, but the truth is that we know too little about the senses to decide one way or another...Our basic senses are well-developed, but they pale in
comparison with the sensory abilities of some other animals. We have a good sense of taste, yet an octopus can sense flavours that are a hundred times weaker than anything we can detect. We have a fine sense of smell, but a
dog has an olfactory sense a thousand times finer. Our ability to see in poor light is impressive, yet the dolphin has seven thousand times as many light-sensitive cells in its eye. We are good at detecting slight movements,
but a cockroach is a hundred thousand times more sensitive to surface vibrations. We struggle to hear sounds below 50 cycles per second...Gigantic creatures like whales and elephants communicate over prodigious distances using infrasound frequencies below 15 Hz. Even octopuses and cuttlefish are now known to sense frequencies below 10 Hz. Although we can sense millions of colours, there are garden flowers in which bees can
see riotous patterns of which we can only dream...
This book presents many observations that show how plants and animals have their own ways of feeling. Plants respond actively to their surroundings, and many of them move when touched. The species of mimosa [pudica] known as the sensitive plant is famous for that [Darwin played the violin to it], but the wild rock-rose and the garden pea show similar responses..insects that take decisions and spiders that indulge in problem-solving.
Animals communicate in extraordinary ways, and the language of the living world will emerge as almost a common form of expression among very different forms of life.
Many animals other than humans teach their young to communicate...

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
- Robert Kennedy

Can a Neutron Bomb accelerate Global Volcanic Activity?

..advanced energy and propulsion systems that, when publicly released,
will provide solutions to global environmental challenges...
Steven M. Greer M.D., October 2000
Space Energy Access Systems
http://www.seaspower.com
The ultimate national security issue is intimately linked to the pressing
environmental crisis facing the world today: The question of whether
humanity can continue as a technologically advanced civilization.
Fossil fuels and the internal combustion engine are non-sustainable both
environmentally and economically - and a replacement for both already
exists. The question is not whether we will transition to a new
post-fossil fuel economy, but when and how. The environmental, economic,
geopolitical, national security and military issues related to this matter
are profound and inextricably linked to one another.
The disclosure of such new energy technologies will have far-reaching
implications for every aspect of human society and the time has come to
prepare for such an event. For if such technologies were announced today,
it would take at least 10-20 years for their widespread application to be
effected. This is approximately how much time we have before global
economic chaos begins due to demand far exceeding the supply of oil and
environmental decay becomes exponential and catastrophic.
We have found that the technologies to replace fossil fuel usage already
exist and need to be exploited and applied immediately to avert a serious
global economic, geopolitical and environmental crisis in the
not-so-distant future.
In summary, these technologies fall into the following broad categories:

Quantum vacuum/ zero point field energy access systems and related
advances in electromagnetic theory and applications;

Electrogravitic and magnetogravitic energy and propulsion;

Room temperature nuclear effects;

Electrochemical and related advances to internal combustion systems, which
achieve near zero emissions and very high efficiency.

A number of practical applications using such technologies have been
developed over the past several decades, but such breakthroughs have been
either ignored due to their unconventional nature or have been
classified and suppressed due to national security, military interests and "special" interests...
