Freedom

In my time spent here in the headwaters (Kanekota) I have met some wonderful people who understand the importance of this area from an ecological perspective. I have also met some not so wonderful people, who place the dollar above everything else. The waters start here and flow north, south, east and west. The deforestation that took place around the late 19th and early 20th centuries was the precursor to the corporate exploitation that threatens our future generations now.

The corporations are owned by a few people with little moral conscience. They do not care where they extract resources from, whether Canada, Asia, Africa, Middle East, etc. as they will not be dealing with the mess they create for our grandchildren to deal with. In the late 19th century in Kanekota there was a movement to create water power from the natural flow that mother earth provides. The method was to build a mill in an area, clear cut all the trees and then move to another area and repeat the same process. The predominant theme was “progress” , job creation and a little bit of electricity to turn on a few light bulbs. When the technology became obsolete the mess was left in the rivers for our grandchildren to deal with.

Many of you have read my writings on the poison Pine river in Hornings Mills. This is a century old problem that none of the corporations want to acknowledge or correct. Including the biggest corporation of them all, Canada. Now we can see history repeating itself with these windmill generating corporations lining up to exploit the wind, all in the name of “job creation and electricity”. In my dealings with the “corporatocracy” regarding these corporations, it has become apparent that they will wreck the environment until wind power becomes obsolete and then leave their mess for our grandchildren to deal with.

There is a plan to extract limestone from the earth on a massive scale, it is in the Melancthon planning department now awaiting approval. The money to fund this enterprise comes from the international bankers, disguised as local business people wanting to “create jobs” to power the economy. A little bit of history repeating?

When will the people wake up to the fact that they are participating in a pretend democracy. They are ruled by a new breed of royals who control all decision making with money. The people believe they are free and do the bidding of heir masters under the guise of freedom and democracy. This is the ultimate form of slavery, where the slaves do not realize what they really are.

The people of Bolivia woke up to this reality when Bechtel owned all water rights in their country. The money-changing families wanted every person to pay them for every drink of water. The Bolivians showed the corporatocracy what “power of the people” can accomplish. They should be an example to all the people whom really do want freedom and democracy.

The Kayanerakowa shows us that no person can tell another person what to think. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought. With this as a basis, through the diversity of each individual perspective, comes great strength . The same is true in the natural world with the millions of species each doing their part for the good of the whole. In theory this would be the way for our earth family. In practice we have a small group of money-men trying to tell all the people and the other species what to do.

Open your mind to the truth of our situation, set yourself free.

I am me, I am free.
