THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE; specific reasons for the revolution

The most important thing that happened for me this past week is that I decided I need to travel to more cities.

 The most affecting thing I witnessed was... well, I don't even know how to put it into words. Hopefully I will find some video documentation of what went on.

Thousands, if not millions, of people who make their homes on the gulf coast have become ill after the disgusting "clean-up" of the BP oil spill. It is SO disturbing how systematically atrocious it all is, I am tearing up a little as I write this to you. Through greedy eyes, people are nothing but a source of power to steal from.

It was my privilege to meet and interact with courageous people from the gulf coast who are fighting for justice in their communities.

Listen to Kindra Arnesan.

"the constitution is a beautiful document"

another veteran for the people

Saturday, October 8, 2011 -- Occupy the Fed, Los Angeles: Dani Rascon, co-director of Oath Keepers of LA, interviews Paul, an 8 years veteran of the Army Reserves. Paul says, “If the Constitution was enforced effectively and properly, we wouldn’t be here today. The Constitution is a beautiful document.” He also addresses that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified.

Paul is an Army veteran, having served 8 years in the Army Reserve, currently works as a school teacher in LA County, describes himself as an independent, not trusting either of the two major parties.

OCCUPY; The Revolution is Beautiful.

OCCUPY

 

"Occupy your own heart, not with fear, but with love."  
           - anonymous and well-shared quote from an occupier

The revolution is beautiful. This movement is not a protest, not full of angry, demanding people who feel that their power has been stolen. It is a soul rebellion that has been in effect for years, coming to a head. People who have been trying to live good lives are sick of the greed that is burying our world under a mountain of disease. Enough is enough! We want connection. We want community! We want a planet to thrive on. We want our good lives to grow. We want to make sure everyone is taken care of. This is the shift. This is the revolution.

Personally, I don't go for the fear and anger. I am angry, and I see so much injustice. I am also compassionate. I don't see enemies in people, but in systems that are failing, and in the qualities of greed and immorality. I see that people can change! People CAN change! Systems can change, too. I think we need to foster this evolution, this revolution, within ourselves, so that we can dutifully and beautifully usher in a new paradigm.

In order to serve this movement as effectively as I can, I hereby dedicate this space to the sharing of evidence of and ideas for POSITIVE RADICAL CHANGE. Because there is so much to share, and I don't want to crowd everyones' facebook feeds, I'll try to post the bulk of things I want to share here. Please offer up anything you think would be fitting, and if you'd like to contribute to this space, please be in touch.

sincerely,
Jackie Dandelion
