  • US Presidential candidate Ron Paul ROCKS!

    Finally a voice of reason has join the US Presidential race. Congressman Dr Ron Paul is like a breath of fresh air in a storm of hot, stale rhetoric. Ron Paul is the first candidate in a long time who seems interested in winning the election for reasons other than to simply win. Who is he…

  • No media coverage of events like this at COP – SA media are slaves

    I saw the extensive local media coverage of the recent COP conference in Durban, South Africa. None of the news reports mentioned any of what you will see in the following video. The SA media are slaves to the government, all working in collusion to keep you poor and stupid! Wake up people.

  • A working green model village produces 321% extra energy

    There’s nothing quite like an excellent example. The village of Wildpoldsried, in Germany, is just that; a great eco-example that all communities should be looking into. This village produces 321% EXTRA energy and makes money by selling it back to the national grid.

  • There are some politicians who act for the people

    Apparently not all politicians are under control. Finally, a politician who understand Occupy wall street. The occupy movement is not about a list of demands, it’s about an open and transparent system. By the people, for the people. Talking of which, I found an interesting blog today, about Iceland & this very topic. It looks…

  • George Bush & Tony Blair – war criminals

    I watched with horror the first time Iraq was invaded. Then, a few years later, I watched with complete disbelief as they were re-invaded. I was completely perplexed at the time as to what gives these other countries the right to invade a sovereign country ‘legally’. The UN voting that preceded both invasions was a farce. In both invasions,…

  • Creating a brave new world together, the Venus Project

    I have come across some good ideas and some great ideas. The Venus Project is in the latter category. Here’s a quote from their site: “The Venus Project offers a comprehensive plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology and nature will be able to coexist in a long term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium”

  • Giant structures in the desert in China.

    Now this is seriously strange. I was alerted to this by this blog & this is not new. They have been at it since before 2005 as far as I can work out from Google earth timeline. The Chinese are creating huge structures in the desert. Their purpose is a mystery to me. All I…

  • The strangest Jacaranda tree ever!

    The strangest Jacaranda tree ever!

    I noticed this tree last year at this time. At this time of the year, the Jacaranda trees in Joburg (where I live) produce really beautiful purple flowers. The whole of Joburg looks like it is covered in a purple cloth, it’s really pretty. I have never seen a Jacaranda tree produce a flower of…

  • The concept of energy exchange in the new paradigm

    The concept of energy exchange in the new paradigm

    Everyone has ideas about the future & there’s no shortage of discussion or opinions right now, on the topic of energy exchange. Thanks to recent developments in my life, I wanted to add my squeak to the cacophony:) Here’s what I think of where we are coming from and where we are going with energy exchange…
