BOLIVIA: Peoples Conference model of inclusion offers only path forward on climate change

we are called to justice.

but sometimes justice is too hard, too large, too out of our league to consider. here is a story about how ordinary people can respond to such calls. the forwarded post below announces and links to a summary report of the recent climate conference held in cochabamba to save mother earth (pachamama), attended by 35,000 people. these people were not the officials that seem unable to cope with climate change, but ordinary folks who cared enough to cousel together on what needs to be done and what might compose an alternative frame to the failure of kyoto and copenhagen.

http://boliviarising.blogspot.com is an excellent window into the gentle revolution happening in south america. it is english, not spanish, and that makes it efficient also. it invites independent news folks to post articles and so is input from many perspectives. i highly recommend the feedblitz subscription of this blog.

one of the characteristics of this new "bolivarian revolution" that has been gathering momentum in south american this last decade is it's desire to find a new inclusivity. a blend of capitalism and socialism. partners not masters with the elites and the north. with a voice and justice for the poor and aboriginal. to work on a new kind of society with fair rules. new constitutions with rights to water, education and health. sustainable goals.

many are unaware of this. it finds no mention whatsover in the mainstream media, though it may well be the most respectful and successful social experiment on the planet.

http://democracynow.org is an independent english source that attends these developments.

Oneness: The Big Picture | Link TV

Global Spirit is a series hosted on Link TV. Here is a sample: an excellent discussion between Deepak Chopra and Riane Eisler, and host Phil Cousineau centered upon a 2005 movie "One". This movie documentary asked 20 questions of a range of persons, exploring the meaning of oneness. It is a string of pearls sort of film with little pearls of wisdom from voices like Father Keating, Thich Nhat Hahn, and many interesting citizens. Its High Def Streaming for 75 minutes. Very worth while. No commercials.
