Awakening the sleeping masses

[SHRED]

What will it take?

After years and years of corporate media distraction with the trivial (murders, rapes, car wrecks, kidnapping, etc).
After years and years of a population taught to think ill of the only real voice they have, their Government.
After years and years of extremely pressing issues, like the environment, affordable health care, and quality education that all should have access too, being pushed to the background by tabloid style news casts.
What will it take to awaken them?
What politician will have the courage to tell the people they have been fooled, and this is how?

I don't see it.
I don't see how a basically distracted, uneducated mass will all-of-the-sudden know how our government is structured much less understand it's importance as it relates to their Rights granted to them under the Constitution.

Big money owns the media and message and big money wants us to look away at the fact they have bought our government out from underneath us.

So the citizens go on bad-mouthing their own Representative Democracy to their own peril not knowing that what we really need is to wake up and make it more accountable, and responsible, to "we the people".

1. Changes are coming, and we have little to say about it, we can

however keep a positive attitude to help these changes along. Things will get better, there is no doubt.

What we may NOT know is the following:

SUN: The Sun’s magnetic field is over 230 percent stronger now than it was at the beginning of the 1900s, and its overall energetic activity has sizably increased, creating a frenzy of activity that continues to embarrass NASA’s official predictions.

VENUS: Venus is now glowing in the dark, as is Jupiter’s moon Io.

EARTH: In the last 30 years, Earth’s icecaps have thinned out by as much as 40 percent. Quite inexplicably, just since 1997 the structure of the Earth has shifted from being slightly more egg-shaped, or elongated at the poles, to more pumpkin-shaped, or flattened at the poles. No one at NASA has even bothered to try to explain this yet. Link to full article at NASA.

MARS: The icecaps of Mars noticeably melted just within one year, causing 50-percent changes in surface features. Atmospheric density had risen by 200 percent above previous observations as of 1997.

JUPITER: Jupiter has become so highly energized that it is now surrounded by a visibly glowing donut tube of energy in the path of the moon Io. The size of Jupiter’s magnetic field has more than doubled since 1992.

SATURN: Saturn’s polar regions have been noticeably brightening, and its magnetic field strength increasing.

URANUS: According to NASA’s Voyager II space probe, Uranus and Neptune both appear to have had recent magnetic pole shifts – 60 degrees for Uranus and 50 for Neptune.

NEPTUNE: Neptune has become 40 percent brighter in infrared since 1996, and is fully 100-percent brighter in certain areas. Also, Neptune’s moon Triton has had a “very large percentage increase” in atmospheric pressure and temperature, comparable to a 22-degree Fahrenheit increase on Earth.

PLUTO: As of September 2002, Pluto has experienced a 300-percent increase in its atmospheric pressure in the last 14 years, while also becoming noticeably darker in color.

5. the above ought to be a seperate thread.

I searcehd on this:

6. I will post a page from a book I am reading that is intertwined with

what is actually going on in and around our galaxy. There will be cheers and jeers.... your mileage may vary. :)

7. Spooky, ain't it?

And they don't even begin to catalog the changes we've seen in the planets. As far as I know, all the gas giants (Jupiter through Neptune) have become significantly warmer and their magnetospheres more active in the past 15 years. Pluto is moving away from the Sun, but it, too, is warming up. And part of the reason for the recent discovery of planet-sized Kuiper Belt Objects like Sedna, Quaoar, and 2003U13 (called "Xena" in the popular press) is that they have become much brighter due to their own warming.

I'm sure there's a Perfectly Rational Explanation. There usually is. Unfortunately, the "Perfectly Rational" part seldom applies to us human beings.

8. Rational perhaps, we may be coming to the end of a 75,000 year

cycle in our galaxy. There are astronomical distances, factoids and needless bits of information to prop up this idea. A poster from Australia would take issue with the two responses I have had, and that is as it should be..... for a little while longer.

10. That's a quick cycle!

I'm aware of the 150-million-year "cycle" of the Sun's (and Solar system's) transits through the spiral arms of the galaxy, but nothing as quick as 75 kY. Can you fill me in on it?

The very fact that so many odd things have been happening to the planets should give us all some food for thought. We've only really been paying attention to these kinds of phenomena for a few hundred years; some cultures have been paying attention to natural processes for several thousand, but haven't been able to look beyond the Earth. So in a universe where cycles are typically millions of years long or longer, we've just begun to notice that "things happen".

And right at the time when we've become aware of how badly we've fouled our own nest, too.

11. I'll link you in mail..... please keep an open mind... and know that

this stuff "if" delved into, is very very hard to dismiss.

2. Ways to make the masses aware that Bushco was the inevitable result

of unbridled corporate rule, as well as the inevitable result of the half-baked ideology which so much of the country still espouses, are desparately needed.

3. Big money owns the media in Venezuela and still the people

are supporting Chavez because he is making real progress for the poor and middle class.

4. Well, for one thing,

people have stopped getting their news from just one source. And many don't trust the news. The rise of the internet has also helped, because it is easier to get different points of view.

9. MSM..... mainstream madrassas.... they have theirs, we have

ours, both at times send a faulty message to the masses, resulting in messes for others to clean up.
