To all that is wrong with the “Occupy” movement–A Cultural Occupy
For all that is wrong with the "hippy" generation (a group of people who ultimately fed the machine to its current girth) – there was something right…and its only a few words.
"Turn on, tune in, drop out"
Or, worded better for now: Learn and reject.
I think we need to do that again.
We live in a culture that is supportive of the ideals we reject. We buy from the hand that slaps us in the end, and we dont want to let go of the money that ultimately destroys us.
We cant expect to occupy anywhere if we cant occupy ourselves with things other than the idols of consumerism and capitalism.
We need a cultural occupation , and to just drop all the stuff that feeds the beast.
Im unsure if this makes much sense. I guess Im saying that once there was a great disconnect, and it failed…but also kind of worked, and we shouldnt discount even minor successes. And we should again try and disconnect more with the ties that currently bind us to this loose cannon of a society we live in.
You cant occupy a person thats already ocupied (by the wrong things). And thats us, thats others, thats the problem. We are still occupied as individuals, by the things we are trying to fight.
And we are acting blind to them possessing us every day. And yet we expect to advance….
We need to evict some awful shit.

Wikileaks reveals US GMO conspiracy.
The worst part about this is that by using very similar techniques, we can create crops that have more yield and survivability, but companies like Monsanto completely taint the entire idea of genetically modified food. This causes the population to lash against it, even though modified foods can be very beneficial.
A conspiracy with Monsanto to force the global sale and use of genetically-modified foods.

Mission Paris recommends that that the USG reinforce our negotiating position with the EU on agricultural biotechnology by publishing a retaliation list when the extend "Reasonable Time Period" expires.Moving to retaliation will make clear that the current path has real costs to EU interests and could help strengthen European pro-biotech voices.In the meantime, however, the draft biotech law submitted to the National Assembly and the Senate for urgent consideration, could make any biotech planting impossible in practical terms.The law would make farmers and seed companies legally liable for pollen driftCountry team Paris recommends that we calibrate a target retaliation list that causes some pain across the EU since this is a collective responsibility, but that also focuses in part on the worst culprits.

Dead baby dolphins in Gulf of Mexico/Clean-up Ineffective/Effects will show for years
Deaths of baby dolphins worry scientists
Full article here : http://edition.cnn.com/2011/US/02/24/gulf.dolphins/index.html?hpt=C1
Baby bottlenose dolphins are washing up dead in record numbers on the shores of Alabama and Mississippi, alarming scientists and a federal agency charged with monitoring the health of the Gulf of Mexico.
Moby Solangi, the executive director of the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies (IMMS) in Gulfport, Mississippi, said Thursday he’s never seen such high death numbers.
"I’ve worked with marine mammals for 30 years, and this is the first time we’ve seen such a high number of calves," he said. "It’s alarming."
Dolphin Calves Dying in the Gulf

Although the cause of the deaths remains unclear, the bodies of the deceased infant dolphins are in the region of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill that released an estimated 205.8 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Many of the dead dolphins are barely 3 feet in length, indicating both mother and infant dolphins are in physical distress.
"For some reason, they’ve started aborting or they were dead before they were born," Moby Solangi, director of the IMMS in Gulfport, told Reuters. "The average is one or two a month."
Gulf spill’s (full) effects ‘may not be seen for a decade’

Studies using a submersible found a layer, as much as 10cm thick in places, of dead animals and oil, said Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia.
Knocking these animals out of the food chain will, in time, affect species relevant to fisheries.
She disputed an assessment by BP’s compensation fund that the Gulf of Mexico will recover by the end of 2012.
