While we sleep here in Ojai, protests rocked Copenhagen

Indian Activist Vandana Shiva Speaks at Climate Summit Protest:
"The Earth Must Call The Shots. The Earth Will Make The Rules."

Protests rocked Copenhagen on Saturday as anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000 people (depending on who you talk to) marched to the UN Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen to demand a strong climate treaty to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Indian physicist, author, and activist Vandana Shiva spoke to the crowd before the march: http://www.commondreams.org/video/2009/12/14-0

this is TOTAL consumer rape-of-the-planet CoIntel, SpookShit ... to continue and expand industrialization and the dumbing-down of the people.

any individual with a fraction of a brain or heart knows that carbon in the air is NOT the reason for the environmental holocaust, the (past tense) murder of our Divine Mother Earth ...

it is the TOTAL ABSENCE OF CARBON in the forests, rainforests -- our (past tense) elimination of 97 percent of the forests and rainforests -- similar numbers for rivers, wetlands, mycosphere, aquafir, ancestral Ocean life -- that is the holocaust ...

and that is what these murderous braindead consumers, and their corporate bankster Spook Commanders wish to continue ...

if Copenhagen was about the Climate, was about the Environment, was about Life, about our Mother Earth the only thing that would be on the table and in the media would be HOW we reforest and re-planet the Earth tenfold ...

and therefore increase our health and wealth tenfold, our world peace and our world economy tenfold ...

returning all our Sacred Relations,
birthing Global Peace, Harmony, Enlightenment ...

Millennium, did you have a chance to view the video of the Indian activist, Vandana Shiva?

The video shows her speaking at the Climate Summit Protest...

"Copenhagen police ended up preemptively arresting nearly a thousand people Saturday. Another 230 protesters were preemptively arrested on Sunday during a demonstration to block the city's ports."

Cop-enhagen:
Preemptive Mass Arrests in Context of History of Danes'Movement

"The signs up all over the airport and various places elsewhere in town are calling it Hopenhagen, but everybody I know is calling it Cop-enhagen,
which seems far more appropriate.

The international media have been giving
this lots of coverage, and rightly so. Of course much of the media is
unable to walk and chew gum at the same time, so other things, such as the
reason the protests are happening in the first place, can get lost.

Inside the Bella Center lots of stuff is going on. Namely the U.S.,
Australia and others leading the way in making sure nothing meaningful
takes place there, while many other delegates and activists within try to
make the best of it, or at least make the effort to thoroughly expose the
bankruptcy of the position taken by the rich countries.

The center itself is divided into floors where the big decisions are being made, and then the
rest of the place for the little people, the delegates from unimportant
countries like Tuvalu, representatives of small NGOs and other riffraff.

Many of the folks involved with the process inside are dividing their time
between the meetings and events outside in the streets and at the
alternative conference going on elsewhere in town.

Copenhagen is a beautiful city. The architecture in the heart of the city
is understated but exudes the wealth of a place that was once the capital
of a fairly sizeable empire. Of course, though the Danish empire brought
some riches home to Copenhagen, the wealth of modern Denmark is far
greater, that being the product not so much of empire but of the Danish
labor movement and Danish social democracy."
