99% Global Movement - Global Action against over 70 years of Corporate Greed

Hamilton Ontario Activists gathered in parks and cafe's to speak up against Corporate Greed, that has left the majority of the people in dire poverty.

While NAFTA sold the people lies, it's inception created loop holes to allow the top 1% to become triple Billionaires, while it eroded the Education sector, the Arts, Housing, Jobs, Unions, minimum wage, and Social Programs.

All over the world people are now rebelling against the same greed that is running their Political systems. While promises were made, it has been money that run elections, since WWI.

Wall St and organizations like it have eroded our economies, and our very environment. There are so many reasons that these Corporate lies, and gutting must not only be stopped, but over - run. Now is the time for Revolution, not polite meetings with Political departments that change nothing.

The U. S. is a very dangerous society according to Author Chris Hedges, and that society is about to raise it's angry head. How it will affect Canada, is a frightening prospect. It may come from a situation where Environmental changes add to the masses in poverty.

The NAFTA super highway has taken what it wanted from it's own people to become a trade route that is heavily guarded. Canada struggles to keep it's economy running by allowing Tar Oil to run down to Texas through pipelines. Fresh Water and other areas of the Environment are constantly being destroyed, as a result, with the repeatedly exposed lie of Oil bringing more jobs.

Prime Minister Harper still denies Climate Change, but the increase in Hurricanes, and Tornado's in Canada, proves him wrong. The ice melts in the north, while the cultivation of Tar Oil creates the very dangerous issue of releasing the layer of methane lying just below.

You know that when the tv set throws car commercials between ads that Oil Corps make, trying to tell us that they are building a beautiful environment when they dig for dirty Oil, you must realize that we are being lied to.

Hedges calls this "propaganda" and so it is. Independent Media outlets have been warning us all along that we are heading to a Dark Age, a loss of a civilization. Jane Jacobs talked about it in her last book by the same name.

The masses are not being treated fairly. They realize we have lost democracy, and are starting to take over. It is up to all of us to research the truth, and join the Global masses that yell out in Paris, Italy, London, and many many more places in the World.

Corporate Globalization, sucks life from the people and the very planet we need to live on. Now as we race ever faster towards dangerous weather conditions, and water loss, we must know that it won't be the Government that will save us. It will be those that heeded the messages from Howard Kunstler in the beginning of the 21st Century, and began to prepare to at least feed themselves, that may survive the change.

In Hamilton Ontario, we see the pattern of the destruction of Canada being carried out. Ideas that are not in tune with the real needs of the people, are moved ahead by Municiple Governments, applauded by Provincial Conservatives, and Federal Conservatives.

These ideas are wrong headed. Especially in an area of Ontario that was once know as the “Fruit Belt”. Where parades for the fruit tree blossoms introduced what we once called Spring. The seasons don't change as the use to. It is an abrupt lurch from one temperature to another, which of course are the reasons for the growing Tornadoes. How much do those mysterious weather conditions cost the taxpayers, since it is the citizens themselves that actually pay for the damages.

We in Ontario have allowed ourselves to ignore the reality of what was happening all around us.

We, the majority of the population, could not seem to fight off the developers that have paved over most of the farmland. Though there were many protests, some lasting over 50 years, we listened to the media that gave those with the money the soap box. The lies repeat themselves. Which is why Jane Jacobs warned us to watch for zoning changes.

It has become too obvious that what has been taught to engineers, and urban planners, was funded by the few that played chess with our land. The land that once provided food easily, is now cover over with “progress”.

The coasts of North America will flood withing two lifetimes, but the NAFTA Super highway will stand protected by military.
