"The wild animals and
birds have disappeared
because of the evil in
the land." - Jeremiah 12:4
"Play is by no means exclusively human, a fact
obvious to anyone who has ever raised a dog or a cat. And it is not just
domestic animals that exhibit playfulness but wild ones too - hence the phrase,
"monkeying around."
-
Charles
Eisenstein
"A foolish man was raving at a donkey. It took no
notice.
A wiser man who was watching said: 'The donkey will never learn
your language - better that you should observe silence and instead master the
tongue of the donkey'." -Saadi of Shiraz
I
think I could turn and live with animals,
they are so placid and self-contain'd,
I stand and look at them
long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
They do not lie awake in
the dark and weep for their
sins,
They do not make me
sick discussing their
duty to God,
Not one is dissatisfied,
not one is demented with the
mania of owning
things,
Not one kneels to
another,
nor to his kind that
lived thousands of years ago,
Not
one is respectable or unhappy over the whole Earth.
Walt Whitman
"Multiple generations of children have been
successfully raised to adulthood in our foothills among the bears, rattlesnakes
and mountain lions. Newer residents' fears
that their offspring will be mauled and mutilated tell us more about their lack
of real-life
living skills than the of wildlife. These maladapted,
fearful folks should've stayed down in the sterile, low-risk, boringly safe
environment of the flatlands where
they obviously belong." - Ellen Zunino
"The reduction
of any issue as one of people versus
animals belies the irrational assumption that to be a
person is to be in
opposition to nature. Isn't this
symptomatic of the debased relationship to the
Earth that has led to global warming? Not to
mention the absurdity of destroying
nature to enjoy an "artificial"
nature purged of its inhabitants." - Namita
Goswami

The Sixth Extinction
"Every 20 minutes we lose an animal species. If
this rate continues, by century's end, 50% of all living species will be gone."
- Jeff Corwin"The accumulated damage humanity has wrought over the
last few thousand years is enough to cause the sixth great extinction along
with demise of billions of people in the 21st century due to war, famine, and
epidemic. If we continue to deplete our social,
spiritual, and
natural capital in a desperate gambit to
control the consequences of control with yet more control, then the eventual payback will be even
worse." - Charles

January 14, 2006 - hundreds of
sea turtles found dead off the coast of El Salvador
In
the last three months of 2006, a new phenomenon began to occur in honey bee
colonies which scientists called Colony Collapse Disorder. Losses range from
30-90% of bee colonies. Beekeepers in the mid-Atlantic and Pacific Northeast
regions also reported significant losses of more than 50%. Losses have been
reported in migratory operations wintering in California, Florida, Oklahoma and
Texas. Honey bee colony losses also have been reported in Canada and Europe.
Colony losses are occurring mostly because bees are failing to return to the
hive (which is largely uncharacteristic of bee behavior), bee colony losses
have been rapid and colony losses are occurring in large numbers.
The
1980s saw two periods of large die-offs due to Varroa and tracheal
mites. Varroa mites are also said to have eliminated most feral bee
colonies in the mid-1990s. The pathogen Paenibacillus larvae is the most
serious honey bee pathogen and causes American foulbrood (AFB), which is a
disease of larval honey bees. Mite and pathogen infestations have caused
beekeepers to use miticides and/or antibiotics. High levels of bacteria,
viruses, and fungi have been found in the guts of the recoverable dead bees.
These high infection levels are compromising the immune system of the honey
bees.
Several new pesticides have recently been put on the market, many
of which have now been banned in Europe. One class of insecticide which may be
part of the problem are neonicotinoids, which contain the active ingredient
imidacloprid, and similar other chemicals, such as clothianidin and
thiamethoxam. Honey bees are affected by such chemicals, which are known to
work their way through the plant up into the
flowers and leave residues in the nectar and pollen. It is more than likely
that the combination of chemicals miticides, fungicides, antibiotics and
pesticides is causing the collapse.
In the spring of
2007 thousands fewer seals were killed
in the Canadian seal hunt in the southern Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Unusually
warm weather led to the drowning of thousands of baby seals as the sea ice
melted before the baby seals learned to swim.
In
September 2007 three blue whales washed up on Southern California shores after
a judge decreed in August that the navy can
go ahead with a high power sonar ‘test' off the coast of Southern
California.
It was discovered in January 2008 that thousands of bats are
dying from an unknown illness in the Northeast at a rate that could cause
extinction. At eight caves in
New York and one in Vermont, scientists have seen bat populations plummet over
two years. A cave that had 1,300 bats in January 2006 recently had just 38
mostly underweight bats. At another cave, more than 90% of about 15,500 bats
have died since 2005.
"A quarter of all mammal species are now
endangered, mostly because their habitat is disappearing." - Olivia Judson
October 14, 2008
Homo sapiens also caused the demise of the genus
Homo neanderthalensis. This was probably done in two ways: by driving small
family groups off of productive land and by genocidal extermination of a being
seen as inferior - a communal
sin. |

This web site is not a commercial web site
and is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a new religious
ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification
of reality outside personal experience has created a populace unable to discern
propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any
group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due
to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of the religion
aptly named The Truth of the Way of Life - a rational religion based on reason
which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no
church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to
develop a personal relation with God through the pursuit of the knowledge of
reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the
human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are spelled out in
detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to
their religious beliefs in America is considered a “hate
crime.”
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary
the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The
international corporate cartel already controls the world central banking
system, mass media worldwide, the industrial military entertainment complex of
America and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of
self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization
is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through mass media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed
into the population through prior mass media psychological operations. The
results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social
structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a
perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the
bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the
corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which
further their purposes.
