Reclaim the Future!
At last week’s UN World Environment Day celebrations in San Francisco, the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights launched a bold and visionary new program, one with the potential to unite progressives across a broad spectrum of interests and help shape an economy that’s clean, green, and just. Reclaim the Future is a project that calls for Green Jobs, Not Jails. It’s a platform that helps us move beyond our narrow issue areas into a future where economic justice and environmental sustainability are interwoven. As Van Jones of the Ella Baker Center puts it, “We dream of seeing kids who are now fodder for the prisons instead creating zero-pollution products, healing the land and harvesting the sun. We dream of a day when struggling cities like Oakland, Watts, Detroit and Newark blossom as Silicon Valleys of green capital.” Check it out and see if there are ways you can help!

Checkout a website called disclosureproject.org. Here Steven Greer relates a stunning tale of how over the last 15+years he has been contacted by scores of government officals in the Military, the Intelligence community, Defense contractors, & other Government agencies about Top Secret Covert Programs developing revolutionary energy systems. While these unconventional energy systems are being explored privately through taxpayer dollars–black budget programs–they are being kept out of the public domain because they require no fuel source nor central infrastructure and thus, can not be monopolized to guarantee the massive profits presently flowing to the fossil fuel industry. This could be an answer to many of the global challenges we face. The Disclosureproject is calling for Congressional investigations into this possibility. The real kicker here is that this all flows from UFO technologies. Yet I have read 2 books and seen 2 video presentations that I find quite credible. These are not flakey people–many are entrusted with our nuclear arsenal and their stories surprising consistent. Check it out for your self at disclosureproject.org
