When so many diverse forces converge and conflict, a tipping point of global awareness to the human condition is reached. The momentum must spill over into a time of sweeping change.

The Awakening

We head onward toward 2012 and the awakening provided by our choices from the myriad scenarios of “apocalypse.” At the very least, the political veil has been lifted from a tyranny that has revealed itself on a global scale for those who recognize it from the historical record.  But what comes after our scenario of choice?  Are we entering a new age of savages, or have we been enlightened from the perspective offered by experience and education?  Are we as prepared for a state of peace, as we are of collapse?  The signs are promising, primarily due to the scale of the oppression and danger we face.  Ironically, the wider the threat travels, the more united humanity actually becomes.  Peaceful protests, as well as violent confrontations are on the rise as economic and social crises have passed the point of no return.  For those who have felt that they could distance themselves from what happens to people in other places and cultures, the present situation is a wake-up call.

America’s can’t-do list

The list of what works in other countries, but no longer does in the U.S., is growing.

Lately, I’ve been studying the melting of glaciers in the greater Himalayas. Understanding the cascading effects of the slow-motion downsizing of one of the planet’s most magnificent landforms has, to put it politely, left me dispirited.

It is impossible to focus on those Himalayan highlands without realizing that something that once seemed immutable and eternal has become vulnerable, even perishable. Those magnificent glaciers are wasting away on an overheated planet, and no one knows what to do about it.

Another tipping point has also been on my mind lately, and it’s left me no less melancholy. In this case, the threat is to my own country, the United States. We Americans too seem to have passed a tipping point. Like the glaciers of the high Himalaya, long-familiar aspects of our nation are beginning to seem as if they are, in a sense, melting away.

Expert Jeffrey M. Smith, author of the #1 GMO bestseller Seeds of Deception, and Genetic Roulette, entertains a wildly appreciative audience with shocking facts about how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) entered our lives. Smith links GMO to toxins, allergies, infertility, infant mortality, immune dysfunction, stunted growth, and death. Whistleblowers were fired, threatened, and gagged, and warnings by FDA scientists were ignored.
