We have been too kind to those people who are destroying the planet. We have been inexcusably, insanely, unforgivably kind

Nikki Craft, Derrick Jensen and Lierre Keith have collaborated on a music video warning of catastrophic climate change, the perils of arctic animals and calling on activists to discuss and seriously consider militant tactics and direct action in defence of all life on this planet. http://resistdonotcomply.org/

Earthlings

Essential viewing: Joaquin Phoenix narrates this thought-provoking documentary, exposing humankind's unnecessary and cruel dependence on animals for food, clothing, experimentation, and entertainment. Earthlings is the most comprehensive documentary yet produced on the connection between human economic interests and the welfare of animals. Using hidden cameras, Earthlings chronicles the day-to-day practices of some of the largest animal-dependent industries in the world.

Message from the Hopi Elders

A lot of us have great respect for the messages from the Hopi Indians. They class people like us as Rainbow Warriors. The Greenpeace ship took its name – Rainbow Warrior- from their teachings. Their messages are straightforward and wise. Here is a recent message:

Rainbow Warriors feel the call to perform the required tasks. For those recently awoken these tasks include:
• Sharing information and experiences that may help awake any still slumbering brethren
• Peacefully bringing down the corrupt regimes holding sway over our beautiful mother earth.
• Freeing us from the yoke of financial enslavement by ending the central banking system.
• Eradication of the mass marketing of perpetual materialism.
• End obsolescence by design and return to the ‘built to last’ mentality.
• Bring an end to any wholly unnecessary slaughter of innocent creatures of the air, sea and land
• Prevent any further devastation of the few remaining tropical rainforests and ancient woodlands.
• Provide time and opportunity for each being to explore self-contemplation, self-development and spiritual leanings in line wit their own core voice. Certainly as vital to health and happiness as time for education or time to forge a career.
Rainbow warriors, the future lies within your hands.
