Forget Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Beyoncé – the following videos have evoked so much emotion from me that I want to share them again. I don’t need to explain much as they are pretty self-explanatory. I have renamed them to names I find are much more appropriate. Here they are with my ‘made-up’ titles:
INNOCENCE
So simply put – what a wonderful mother to appreciate the beauty of her son’s innocence.
FREEDOM
The womam at the beginning got all choked up talking about why they decided to start their foundation. So emotional and so beatiful when people see the beauty, intelligence, and respect the lives of animals. The people in this video are true heroes and I am grateful they and so many like them exist in our planet.
Together, we can make the world a more positive one!
Do you trust your current local news channel. Are they trustworthy and unbiased when it comes to news from your town, city, province/state or country? So many of us are now getting our news information from various social media (Facebook, YouTube, Internet, Twitter, etc.) as an alternative to the news outlets of the past (television, newspaper and radio). I think people are tired of the biased reporting from the old sources and are looking for respectful and realtime news. There was a time when people respected journalists and their reporting. Today – television is BIG BUSINESS. The more viewers you can manage to secure – the more products you can sell, so why bother reporting news that matters or ‘real’ news from around the world. Our current news agencies don’t want the general public to know the truth in terms of what is happening around the world – if news stories don’t make the United States look good, CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC, CBC, etc…will not report it. Whistleblowers have to flee their countries in order to ensure their freedom for exposing the truth, shouldn’t they be treated as heroes for ensuring the truth gets out? Our governments don’t think so.
Seek the truth yourself and don’t let the government take more of your freedoms/rights away. The Canadian government attempted to push their internet surveillance bill by disguising it as a way to ‘protect our children from sexual predators’. Here are some articles regarding the Conservative governments push on Bill C-30 – Protecting Children From Predators Act:
Thankfully, this bill did not pass but it is a reminder that we must be vigilant in watching our government to ensure they don’t attempt to pass other such bills without public knowledge.
Don’t believe everything you hear. We have the tools to be able to seek the truth and find different and un-biased resources to verify any bit of news or information. Seek them out and make an informed decision on what you believe to be true.
Here is a YouTube channel the describes itself as follows:
Truthloader is a channel dedicated to finding amazing footage, alternative opinions and to digging deeper into stories than the mainstream media will. We find the best examples of crowd-sourced video and independent content, then use our expertise to add context and analysis. We bring you news and views that will not get coverage in mainstream news outlets and we connect the dots to show you things they don’t want you to see. We respond to the stories you’re interested in, so if you’ve got a story you’d love us to get to the bottom of, tweet us, Facebook us, or respond to our videos with a comment – and perhaps check out our reddit.
Here are other resources that will give you another perspective to current news stories:
There are so many people who want to be conduits for positive change in the world – some are still with us and some have been long gone, people like: Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall, Ingrid Newkirk, Princess Diana, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr. John F. Kennedy, Bill McKibben….I could name thousands that have been extensively profiled in the media but the people who are most important in creating positive change in the world are those that act.
Change can’t happen if people do not get involved. The worldwide Occupy movements have caused a new protest movement against BIG CORPORATION and Government that we haven’t seen since the 60’s. These Occupy movements possibly sparked mass protests worldwide such as the uprising against President Mubarak in Egypt, the protests against Monsanto, the mass demonstrations against the KXL Pipeline and so on.
If we are to live in a society where we hold freedom, democracy and justice for all – we must RISE UP against those who wish to take those privileges away from us and that means holding BIG CORPORATIONS, Governments and dictators accountable for their actions. We have seen peaceful protests around the world become violent not because of the protesters but because of the police that are acting on behalf of the government. There have been media blackouts so that others around the world don’t see the mass protests against their countries governments. Countries around the world are being held hostage by their own governments and corporations all because of greed. Why are we allowing these governments and corporations to destroy our world? Why are we allowing countries to go hungry? Why are we allowing banks to ‘pay off’ government officials and putting the world in a massive financial crisis only to watch our governments reward them?
It’s time to get up and stand up and we must not give up the fight…..(thanks Peter Tosh and Bob Marley for making it so simple). When are you going to “get up and stand up” – What is it going to take for you to create positive change in our world?

We know when we understand:
Almighty god is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can’t fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (what you gonna do?),

TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE THE WORLD A MORE POSITIVE ONE!
What happens when people protest against big corporation and government? Chaos, violence, destruction and death. I don’t understand how police are given orders to use violence against demonstrator’s of what began as a peaceful protest. Here is brief synopsis of what transpired from a protester:
Governments should not be able to bully its people into submission in order to accommodate big business. Why tear down a park to build a shopping mall in a district that had more than enough shopping? Money speaks – there is no revenue potential in green space. Why have a park in the middle of a city when you can profit from create more of the same malls/housing developments?
How much more greed and corporation can the people take from their governments? When we do stand up – we are pepper sprayed or beaten – some beaten to death. Why? All because we don’t want those with all the money to dictate everything for their own personal gain. Is civil unrest the way of the future? Will we have to continue to fight governments and big business in order to make them listen to the needs of the people? Are we willing to give our lives to fight corporate greed? Are we willing to fight for freedom and democracy and stop letting governments work big business instead of its people? YES WE SHOULD!
I stand behind the brave people of Turkey! It is time that the people spoke up and demanded better for our future and for our planet. STAND STRONG!
Together, we can make the world a more positive one!
