For example, we have governments that are able to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on wars every year but spare only a few billion dollars (only - but its relative) on helping people in Africa (an entire continent). The US government gives more money to Israel in defence aid than to africa in humanitarian aid. Imagine if we sunk 20 times the finance into Africa and did not spend all of this money on imperialistic wars.<BR/><BR/>But wait, a cynic might argue that it is actually in the interests of big business in our countries to keep Africa weak. I think Tony Robbins summed it up best when he said that it will take a change of consciousness in the people to summon real change and improvement for the masses in the third world. And even then, we need to stop messing in the affairs of countries in the third world just because they have resources or because their lands exist in an area of strategic interest (maybe an oil pipeline etc).<BR/><BR/>I know this going beyond the scope of the blog, but I would personally love to see a post where you connect the dots between our consumption driven culture, the power of our corporations and the stranglehold placed on countries in the third world via trade tariffs and quotas, installation and support of oppresssive puppet regimes (via arms sold to them by our respective countries and corporations) or aggressive wars launched with the sole purpose of securing more resources.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to hijack the comments thread to say that - but I think it is impossible to discuss these vital world issues (such as aids and poverty in Africa) without touching on the wider perspectives involved in creating and supporting the problems.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the awesome blog Owen ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37394673.post-47767412370039369012008-09-16T18:45:00.000-07:002008-09-16T18:45:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing this and for inspiring us to se...Thanks for sharing this and for inspiring us to see a world beyond our little selves.<BR/><BR/>Someone far wiser than me said it this way:<BR/><BR/>"As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. Perception is a result and not a cause."<BR/><BR/>I believe that it is not our world that is polluted, but our minds, and that collectively we can clean them up.<BR/><BR/>"The overlooking of the battleground is now your purpose. Be lifted up, and from a higher place look down upon it. From there will your perspective be quite different."<BR/><BR/>When we remove our own ego goals and judgments from a situation and enter into it with our full Presence, we usually know exactly what to say or do to transform the situation from conflict to peace.Erika Awakening, TAPsmarter.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156465256391844378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37394673.post-7006578221302530652008-09-16T14:48:00.000-07:002008-09-16T14:48:00.000-07:00Cool stuff.Africa is a continent, not a country. ;...Cool stuff.<BR/><BR/>Africa is a continent, not a country. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37394673.post-23418429874900833192008-09-16T14:31:00.000-07:002008-09-16T14:31:00.000-07:00And then we wonder why they risk their lifes tryin...And then we wonder why they risk their lifes trying to emigrate.

We need the minerals and natural resources of Africa. Those banana republics will fall apart as its thier populations rise to high? The only way America can protect its prosperity and political stability will be to depopulate the Third World?<BR/><BR/>By a coincidence Aids virus shows up in 1975. First explosion of Aids infection in Africa started in missionary health where Christian volunteers reused the same needles to vaccinate local kids against smallpox and diphtheria. From 1976 to 1980, the infection curve rose from 0.7% to 40% in some parts of West Africa. If you understand now how Free vaccination isn't free but paid for something. SOmehow former European colonies with rich natural resources of Gold and Diamonds like Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe were most hardhit by Aids epidemics. Somehow with in same Era concept of BLOOD DIAMOND managed to come into the light. <BR/><BR/>Have you ever heard of the Emergency Health Power Act? It was put in place after september 11 fiasco. Did you know that act allows the govt. to brand any one in as public- health menace, then lock them up for rest of thier life. There won't be any trial because this sector isn't considered to be part of crime sector. It is public safety.You won't be put in the jail but you will still be alone in some camp.Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559226803826698001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37394673.post-2670134001083646002008-09-15T23:07:00.000-07:002008-09-15T23:07:00.000-07:00Wow.Wow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37394673.post-74712473145094052202008-09-15T19:08:00.000-07:002008-09-15T19:08:00.000-07:00Hey thanks for the vid.
