Humanity stands upon the brink of utter destruction and must become aware of the precarious situation that lies ahead, in order to effect radical paradigm shifts of 'real' change immediately! The Doomsday Clock gauges how close mankind is to meltdown.

Everyone must take the lead in becoming proactive daily right now!!!

Select a cause and fight to the death by letting no one slow you down.

Become relentless in your goal-chosen pursuits, but first be sure to learn all you can about your selected goals!!!

Thanks for your words of inspiration above, sometimes, we need to keep being inspired, as we are often on the verge of just giving up. But we need more of us, not less of us, and so we press on. You are so right, I think a Third World War is on the near horizon. The signs are right in front of our faces, if we just use our eyes and ears and pay attention to what is happening in the Middle East. Thank you for all you do for us.

I remeber the sirens and everyone would freeze. "Is it time to go to the bomb shelters?" We would sigh in relief when they ended and realized it was just a test. I freeze still when I hear or read anything like this always on the back of my mind. Live each second as your last. Thanks Robert

Never give up trying. This war is a war whant. A war on greed. A war against crulety. Awar on all unfairness that is being done around the world. The poisons that are being given to you without your knowledge. If you have gatherd knowledge give it out. Let us join hands and unite all over the world We are the people and hold up the pyrimid.
God bless you with wisdom. Janet.

As a child I remember the sirens and always being frightened.
T G they were just tests. But my Dad was very active for the cause during that time.

Just Don't Sit There Staring!!!!!

Don't just sit there like a 'frog on a bump', get up and do something --- even if it's wrong, we must react, get involved and protest, march, petition . . . . You know what to do or else if you search, then you find a way!!!!!!!!!!

Select a goal and become relentless within that pursuit, but learn everything you can first about your chosen objective!!!

Be afraid, be very afraid. Problem is, those who are in controll of all these insane instruments of human (and other lifeforms) destruction seem NOT to be afraid, and keep right on promoting, creating and stockpiling the stuff.

Noted. In my darkest times I just wish for a comet to hit so it will wipe us all out in one instant. It seems like a better alternative to war,famine and lack of drinking water. Then I will look around at the wonder of nature and not want to give up.

This sounds like an episode of 'Star Gate', (this being a compliment from a SG-1 fan). It just goes to show that if some one has thought of it and put it out there, some one or something else has made it a reality, or will soon be making it so. I do not believe that all hope is loosed, though.

There are still many variables to consider. One variable which does not often cross the minds of those who are pulling the strings, is that there are more and more people tuning into the network to find out the truth. The problem is, that the truth is like a needle in a haystack. So many different sources but very few with fact based investigation. This is scary as we enter this new century. My hope is that there will soon be enough people tuned into the real story of our effect on this planet, that those in power will no longer have that power.

For example, say there is a nuclear facility somewhere, where normal people show up to do their job every day. The difference is that they are learning about nuclear waste contamination and possible weapons production coming from their facility. They have two children and live three miles down the river. The employee begins researching some of the harmful effects of this contamination and decides that this is not a safe environment for their family. This person has friends at the plant with families as well. They get to talking and, before you know it, these employees decide to do something which will permanently close the plant and protect the area from further contamination.

This is a hypothetical model and relies on the principle of the "The 100th Monkey: A story about social change" by Ken Keyes Jr., wherefore if enough monkeys (people) know the same information about, well, anything, that this knowledge will be linked into all of ape-kind's (humankind's) neuro-net, thus allowing for a healthier and happier life for all.

It is time that we launch a global education plan for complete societal reversal, bringing people all over the world to the table to discuss a new model of business and society. 'This sounds improbable' (not impossible!) you say, and takes serious consideration.

I have thought in depth about my role in this new era, seeing as how I am a part of the generation which will be around for another 70-100 years, and I have hope that we can eliminate the threats of ignorance and greed before it is too late.

Yes this is a frightening situation. India & Pakistan are a concern. If this should happen it will affect all life on earth no matter where you live.
