Premiere of The

By now everyone has seen crisscrossing streaks of white clouds trailing
behind jet aircraft, stretching from horizon to horizon, eventually
turning the sky into a murky haze. Our innate intelligence tells us
these are not mere vapor trails from jet engines, but no one yet has
probed the questions: WHO is doing this and WHY. With the release of
this movie, all of that has changed. Here is the story of a rapidly
developing industry called Geo-engineering, driven by scientists,
corporations, and governments intent on changing global climate,
controlling the weather, and altering the chemical composition of soil
and water – all supposedly for the betterment of mankind. Although
officials insist that these programs are only in the discussion phase,
evidence is abundant that they have been underway since about 1990 –
and the effect has been devastating to crops, wildlife, and human
health. We are being sprayed with toxic substances without our consent
and, to add insult to injury, they are lying to us about it. Do not
watch this documentary if you have high blood pressure.

Harmony
a new way of looking at our world
For the first time, His Royal Highness
Charles, the Prince of Wales, shares his views on how mankind’s most
pressing modern challenges are rooted in our disharmony with nature. In
the vein of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and Van Jones’ Green Collar Economy,
Prince Charles presents the compelling case that solutions to our most
dire crises—from climate change to poverty—lie in regaining a balance
with the world around us.

Prior "Work with the planet, not against it!" postings:
For
millions of years life on Earth has persisted and evolved in concert
with the chemical, physical and biological processes in the
environment. The advent of the Age of Liquid Fossil Fuels brought
humanity the ability to jump start and force-march many of these
processes at terrible cost to the planet's environmental viability. In
the waning days of the Oil Age, it is time for humanity to relearn the
lessons of the past tens of thousands of years of civilization: life,
human and otherwise, on Planet Earth can recover and maintain its
viability and sustainability only as we rediscover working WITH this
planet's environment, animate and inanimate, not against it!" John Cooper
