ALERT: Bolivia’s Amazon Riches to Be Plundered for Oil
President Morales must be encouraged to live up to his grand rhetoric, and end his government's hurried measures to decimate massive indigenous rainforest protected areas and their biodiversity and climate values, in a manner eerily reminiscent of the capitalistic system against which he rallies
TAKE ACTION! Bolivia's Madidi National Park [search] and Pilón Lajas Biosphere Reserve are communal lands containing some of the most biodiverse areas on earth. With the assent of President Evo Morales, the oil giant Petrobas and collaborators have begun an oil exploration assault that threatens not only these remarkable ecosystems, but also the culture and livelihood of the resident indigenous peoples. Mr. Morales must be encouraged to live up to his grand rhetoric, and end his government's hurried plans to decimate indigenous protected areas, local sustainable livelihoods and their rainforest lands' biodiversity and climate values. TAKE ACTION!

I thank you each one who is working to inform and to protect the Amazon.I offer you song to support the warriors on this battleground. (Streaming below)
The heroes and the heroines - the masters of Time
Have all come together to close the trail of crime.
The sages and the holy ones - the masters of Destiny
Find themselves blessed to be United as One
To raise the shield of Love
We are here
Here we are
We are here
We call to you who walk the halls of influence and power
Join with our ancestors on behalf of the ones not born
Saying Stop! Do not sign that bill
Giving corporate licenses to kill
Children, wilderness or animals!
Mr. President, Mr. CEO
You’re intelligent enough to know
It’s insane - too little remains
We must declare
That nature everywhere
Is a sanctuary
Every animal
Every ancient tree
deserves sanctuary
Children of the ancient lands,
the orphans of war
Give them sanctuary
The whales and the dolphins
The creatures of the seas
Give them sanctuary
The living Earth is our home
Ours to share but not to own.
We declare
That nature everywhere
Is a Sanctuary

How hubris, corruption and greed resulted in the colossal collapse of the global economy.
In a world in which too many politicians are posers; too many economists are deluded; too many business powerbrokers with great wealth are con artists, gamblers and cheats; and too many of their absurdly enriched minions/’talking heads’ in the mainstream media parrot whatsoever serves political convenience and economic expediency, Jim Hansen’s truth about climate change is buried amid cascading disinformation and anti-information developed from a `tool box’ of pernicious rhetorical devices.
