Malaysia's large, intact rainforests in the province of Sarawak, on the Island of Borneo, are nearly exhausted, and most of what remains is to be cleared and converted into industrial monocultures of oil palm and acacia trees, or flooded under

The Penan are a matriarchal society who only want to be left alone. I deplore "industry" and felt sorrow when I read the article.

WHO CRIED OUT FOR THIS KING?
David Rockefeller the King of the New World Order
NOT ME!
THIS WORK IS FOR ALL OF US!

All to often some people want someone to shame then blame when things go wrong not right. Thus is the case for most so-called civilized life today.

But could that kind of mindset be civilized? I THINK NOT.

Name just one of the many civilizations that have come about---- where a high potentate, king or president --- the biggest BIG SHOT in charge led the people to a civil existence?

And we in America today are still trying to emulate the old forlorn and mostly forsaken Roman Empire. They had a SENATE composed of the BIG BARONS that had the great wealth of the nation bestowed on them ------ to watch over the BIG SHOTS, how can that be done?

And likewise we still have the same twisted, convoluted ideas of political rule today.

ARE ---- WE JUST DUMB or WOULD WE RATHER have A SOMEONE else to shame and blame?

If so are we really civil? Civil means communal and that for sure we are not.

Are we a tribe that is banded together by the RULE OF LAW? I THINK NOT. Our rule of law in America since our birth has been the crooked and perverse lawyer-ing of the SEE SAW YAW of the LAW.

Bottom line: When a people forsakes the principles in words and deeds done to rule themselves-----the tyrannical will take over and promise they will do that job for them.

Then just one more repeat of HISTORY comes upon them. That is a pretty dim view [but historically correct] of how civilizations come and go and all are made to suffer in the end by their inactions to rule themselves and thus all turn loose then lose their RIGHTS to LIFE.

What can change the format for a Democracy?

The PLAN --- We The People Advocates WTPA are providing the only HOPE in saving our great nation. So JOIN IN and ENLIST to serve with your VOICES being heard and your VOTES being counted and moved along to our ADVOCATE group in Washington DC to power push the peoples needs, wants and wishes in our cities, states and Federal Governments for all Americans to have the rights to life in all ways in equity adjudicated by the Bar of Justice.

NOW to all my friends on CARE2

We must take the lead in the USA first and foremost to help people all over the world.

WHY? Because our KING is a bad one for sure.

No he is not OBAMA but his name is David Rockefeller the King of the New World Order.

It is HIS evil and vile will that has caused 99% of the problems all over our earth today.

He sees all the indigenous folks as NON HUMAN. But guess what we in America are seen the same way by him.
