This Pivotal Moment - Episode 1

20/12/2021

The proposed global rollout of Vaccine Passports has nothing to do with your health. Vaccine Passports are a Trojan horse being used to create a completely new type of controlled and surveilled society in which the freedom we enjoy today will be a distant memory. It's time to stop this plan in its tracks.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/06/28/hunger-philadelphia-free-fridges/ 20 million Americans still don’t have enough to eat. A grass-roots movement of free fridges aims to help.

30/7/2021

Philadelphia now has more than 20 bright yellow refrigerators sitting on sidewalks outside homes and restaurants, offering free food to anyone passing by. On the front of the fridges is written: "Free Food; take what you need, leave what you don't." Volunteers keep the fridges clean and stocked with food donated from grocery stores, restaurants, local farmers and anyone with extra to share.

The concept of the community fridge - sometimes called a 'freedge' - has been around for more than a decade, but it exploded during the pandemic as hunger spiked in the USA and worldwide. There are now about 200 of these community fridges in the United States, up from about 15 before the pandemic.

"What we're learning is when you do something like this, people will support it. People do have goodness and kindness and they will bring food." said Michelle Nelson, founder of Mama-Tee.com, which now runs 18 bright yellow fridges in Philaldelphia and has been inundated with requests to put more in place throughout the country. Nelson said the effort is part of the movement known as 'mutual aid', where people - even those struggling - want to help one another and have a stake in the project.

An Alternative Economy of Care in Portland

Gabriel Baron first heard about Crisis Kitchen through a call for support he saw on Facebook. The mutual aid group was providing free meals around Portland, Oregon, to combat food insecurity exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. “I’m a believer in local communities supporting local communities” Baron says. So he volunteered to deliver meals for the kitchen. As he did so, he started having conversations with folks in the organization.

Baron, a filmmaker, decided to bring his camera to the Crisis Kitchen. He said he was interested in demystifying mutual aid for viewers. It’s not an unwieldy and hierarchical institution. It was as simple as laid-off restaurant employees asking to use the kitchen to prepare food for people in their community. And the effort has snowballed from there. The group now delivers about 1,000 free, restaurant-quality meals around the city every week.

Crisis Kitchen is one of a network of mutual aid groups in Portland working to build a more supportive and just community. In the film, Adrian Garcia Groenendyk, the co-founder of Crisis Kitchen, says mutual aid demonstrates what can be done to meet people’s needs and help them thrive in our society. Long-term, he says this critical work shouldn’t be dependent on community donations. The goal should be to take money out of institutions of violence and put it into institutions of care, like Crisis Kitchen. Baron continues to deliver meals for Crisis Kitchen every week.

A California town is paying its homeless to clean their encampment sites

A pilot project in a California town is paying homeless residents to tidy up their living areas, and it's changing the culture of the city. The idea stemmed from a conversation with one of the city's police sergeants, said Sarah Bontrager, the housing and public services manager for Elk Grove, a city of 174,000 people located 15 miles south of Sacramento. "We got together to talk about homelessness, and from my prospective I wanted to build better relationships with people who were experiencing homelessness, and he wanted to address some of the complaints that come to his officers," Bontrager told CNN.

The number one complaint surrounding homelessness was the amount of trash. "Our public works staff were previously doing cleanups out at encampment sites ... and just spending a lot of time and money doing it. We also wanted a way to reduce interactions at the early stages of Covid," she said. So they came up with the idea to offer an incentive to those who live in the homeless encampments to clean up their area. "We distribute trash bags, and we go out every two weeks to pick up the trash, and if they have it bagged, they are eligible for up to $20 in gift cards to a grocery store," Bontrager said. The recipients can use the gift cards on anything but cigarettes and alcohol. Bontrager said that they usually use them for food or hygiene items. Many of the homeless residents have expressed how thankful they are to be able to go pick out items themselves instead of relying on shelters.

Insanity ...?

29/9/2020

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.
I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends
and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that.
That's what's insane about it."
~ John Lennon

.... humanity's submission to total power?

27/9/2020

The great danger is that under the pressures of anxiety and fear, the alternation of
crisis and relaxation and new crisis, the people of the world will come to
accept gradually the idea of war, the idea of submission to total power,
and the abdication of reason, spirit and individual conscience.
The great peril of the... cold war is the progressive deadening of conscience.

~ Thomas Merton

Non-violence and humour

22/9/2019

"The establishment irritates you - they pull your beard, they flick your face - to make you fight, because once they've got you violent they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humour."

Happiness

29/5/2019

You’re likely familiar with the works of Steve Cutts, a London-based illustrator who aptly depicts our daily grievances and society’s many shocking truths that we absurdly accept as normal. In his most recent animation short titled “Happiness”, Steve uses rats to symbolize the rat race we’re all so familiar with.

You’ll soon see other startling similarities — a clearly depressed, overcrowded society surrounded by ads guaranteeing happiness via cologne, clothes, film and drugs. You may watch this and recognize these behaviours in others, but consider whether you have fallen victim to them as well.

“Feeling down? Nothing a glass of red wine won’t fix.” When we search for happiness in external things, we soon have a real problem that nothing material or external can fix. See, all that is ever offered to us are ‘quick fixes’ to problems that have been festering for years. Steve accurately portrays our need for feeling happy and shows we will do and buy practically anything to ensure we can feel that emotion all the time — a futile struggle that leaves us depleted and miserable.
