World Enslavement by Tony Samuels

“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal – that there is no human relation between master and slave.” - Leo Tolstoy

We live in an age where all secrets can be uncovered. An age where the old ways of power and control are unraveling. We have become slaves, who feed a machine that refuses to recognize that it is only as good as the workers who feed and maintain it. The machines of control are found in the military who ensure never ending war.  Follow the money to find where the power hubs lie. Who supplies all the munitions and is making all the money off of our fears? Who is the true threat?

Why is it that on our planet with so much abundance, that we are so dependent on big oil and fossil fuels? We have enough technology to work in harmony with the earth. Instead we allow a few to rape and pillage earth’s resources with an unfair redistribution of its wealth. Once again follow the money. Who hurts the most financially, with an attempt to implement a new way of doing things?   Solar energy, wind turbines, tidal and Hydro electric power, bio fuels, the list is growing of the technologies which are being suppressed to keep control of ever increasingly expensive markets.

What about the all-out war on our food supply? We have been brainwashed into counting calories instead of chemicals. Family farms are being taken over by big agra, who fights daily to gain control of our food supply, while offering us the illusion of health and naturalness. Why is it that the three biggest money makers in our food industry are chemical companies (Monsanto, DOW, and Chargill) who bring us substantial equivalence instead of the nutritive food fair that has kept us alive and healthy since the dawn of time.  Why do we allow them to attempt to control and modify the world’s organic seed supply. GMO’s (genetically modified organisms) that has corrupted the food chain and headed us into an area that we may not be able to return from. Did you know that Bill Gates and Monsanto have built, and own a not so secret Arctoc cryogenic heirloom seed vault, buried under tons of ice? Why would they be in cahoots to solve the world’s hunger problem by becoming the money makers in corrupting and owning our food supply with GMO’s?  Do you know that in some states in the U.S. it is now illegal to have a home garden? Where does the money lead and who is getting rich on a system that doesn’t live up to the hype nor the manipulated and suppressed information coming from the doctored research?

What about our illusionary monetary system (banks and stock markets) along with the dominance of economic control. The illusion of money, profit and of free trade only moves jobs overseas and kills manufacturing, as corporate control of our government allows these very companies to make unheard of profits and reduce expenses on our behalf. We are 7 billion+ slaves who work for a system that no longer has our best interest at heart. The rich getting richer has never been as true as it is today. What is equitable when the world’s biggest department store chain (Walmart) becomes this biggest welfare recipient. Don’t believe me, well there are more Walmart employees who are dependent on welfare and food stamps because Walmart pays minimum wage. What is wrong with providing a living wage when you are the world’s richest company? If a company is only as good as its workers what is wrong with providing a livable wage. We truly are enslaved.

There are more people on this planet who want change than there are those who do not. Who will our governments bail out with the next worldwide economic collapse? It won’t be you and I.

We live in a world where corporate own our governments and these same entities willingly poison our food supply for profit. All of this to feed a health care system that is slowly eroding and deteriorating, with increasing costs and dwindling service. We then have a pharmaceutical industry that is intent on masking symptoms instead of finding and delivering cures. With intent to gain profit on medicinal patents coming to market, which actually have more contra indicators and side effects than the issue they attempt to address.

We now live in a time where we have to make tough choices. In a world that wants to live in peace with a roof over our heads, food on the table and the ability to enjoy the fruits of our labor, we are manipulated into complacency.

So how do we collectively invoke change. The first step is awareness of the problems. The second step is to acknowledge the need for change. The third step is to start the change yourself with small steps at first and then move outward like a ripple in the water. It will be hard at first because we have all become comfortable in our misery.

Start with the things you eat. Buy local and eat organic when you can. Reduce the consumption of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Start a new garden when you can and share your bounty with your neighbors. To reduce the amount of hard work that it takes to plant, grow and sow your harvest, create a list of things each family will grow to increase the variety of fresh food available to all the families who join the cooperative. Each family grows different crops which are shared with each other at harvest. Reduce the amount of process food ingested. Todays processed foods contain more chemicals, dyes and fillers than natural ingredients. Avoid foods with corn, soy and sugar beets (processed into high fructose corn syrup, fructose and other sweeteners) as 90 percent of these crops are now GMO’S!! Avoid aspartame, not only is it a GMO product, it is derived from the excrement of a genetically modified ecoli bacteria. Aspartame also breaks down into formaldehyde when ingested and cannot be digested. Avoid these GMO’S and lobby to have them labeled in our food supply. Our money talks when companies won’t listen. Affect profit and we affect what they will produce. As they have always said money talks. Talk to your local grocer about the integrity of the food they supply. Walmart does not concern itself with the amount of GMO products on its shelves (70%+) and this is another area where your dollars count. Do not buy your food at Walmart. The money you save now will cost you a lot more later if you do. Europe already has the same products we buy here but it is illegal for the food manufacturers to use any GMO ingredients.

Talk to your family, talk to your friends, take control back of what you put in your body. Some companies are starting to listen to us, as consumers already. Go on the Internet and do the research, there is a wealth of information out there.

As we move forward and others jump on board, this groundswell will assist us in coming together to tackle the other issues being banks, insurance, fossil fuels, big farma and big pharma, the military industrial complex and the growth in militaristic police forces. We can reduce our reliance on the pharmaceutical industry by taking back control of our food manufacturers, and become responsible for our own health.

All journeys begin with the first step and we have a lot of steps to take to ensure the world is a better place for our future generations. It starts here and it starts now.

2013 The Year My World Changed

2013 started out with good planning for my daughter’s University, comfortable in my job and secure financially, no committed man in my life but hey who needs one right I had a comfortable part time relationship with a good reliable friend.  We hung out together when it was convenient for us both without any strings.  So it was all good until March.

First, my daughter’s step dad decided that his child support was going to cease in April once she turned 18 and he was NOT going to contribute any funds towards her university even though he has been the only father this child has known and our agreement stated that he would support her as long as she was in school.  He was not even man enough to tell this to my face.  I had to email him several times to get him to finally tell me his plans, which gave me no time to plan for the shortfall.

I have drawn up the papers for court and have been assured that if I were to purse I would win the support for my daughter, but at the same time that I was chasing to get answers from him I was advised that my lung cancer had returned and this time because both lungs were affected surgery was not an option as it had been in 2011.  In other words I was terminal.  The cells were too small to biopsy so a wait and see approach was taken.   I was also to be laid off my job due to a down size.  So, I needed to focus my energy into survival mode.

By end June financially I lost three quarters of my net income per month with my credit cards maxed to get my daughter to university, pay for my car loan, insurance, credit card debt and by September food and housing.  Then at September found out I had a stage 4 cell in my neck which was why I could not stand for any length of time causing horrific pain.  Immediate radiation was required. At which point finding work was impossible.  So, my Employment Insurance status had to change from being able to work which I would have maintained until April, 2014 to only 15 weeks on sick benefits, which means at end December, 2013, I had no guaranteed income.

So, where do I go next because the reality after working for nearly 35 years is that I could be in a month without any income and potentially homeless.  There is something wrong with this picture.   I was forced out of a job in the 1990’s by corporate layoffs and restructure and unable to secure permanent employment because of age and the change in the way corporations hired, only contract positions were available.  Leaving me and many other early boomers open to future financial insecurity, no corporate RSP’s contributions or health benefits and such salary reductions making it difficult to take out personal contributions or benefit plans. As a boomer, I and many others were literally living from pay cheque to pay cheque to survive.  So to meet with a serious health crisis and unable to work you have no recourse but turn to the government and social programs for help.

Well let me tell you the difficulties with that.  First there are the applications both federally and provincially.  When you are ill it is very hard to get out and have the energy to pick up and complete these multi-page forms.  In the case of the Canada Pension Disability Plan the wait could be up to four months.  The Ontario Disability Support Plan will not even allow an application until unemployment insurance is exhausted and by then you could potentially have zero income waiting a decision and all this to receive less than $1,065 a month.  How people are supposed to live on that is beyond me.  I can’t even add Old Age Pension because I’m not 65.  Not a fitting end after 35 years of working.  So people will say but you should have paid into a pension plan and put money aside.  I say to them try doing that as a single parent and keep in mind that the cost of separation takes its toll and unless you jump into another relationship you never fully recover.  Fortunately, my daughter is building her life at university and becoming independent, so a little less stress for me.  Although, as a mother the debt she is incurring without any financial help to purse her studies is worrisome.

So for me my reality is that I’m a new empty nester about to potentially lose my car, my life insurance and I need to look for cheaper housing.  This situation not of my own making now makes me one of the country’s poor.  A first for me but somehow I will survive this set back as I have survived so many other adversities in the past.

First I have to kick some cancer butt and fight to live.
