multimultimultinational bid to take over the earth centre ????

pixies | 13.01.2010 00:32 | Anti-militarism | Climate Chaos | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

As you may be aware a campaign has been running to revive the Earth Centre in Doncaster as a community space and environment skill centre. In the last few days it has come to our attention that a very curious collection of multinationals partner a company (RTTG) Rapid Technology Transfer Group that has along with DMBC have been privately making plans for the future of the site. They dont seem to have a website yet.....

The Earth Centre and ensuring that the community is at the heart of its future.

As you may be aware a campaign has been running to revive the Earth Centre in Doncaster as a community space and environment skill centre. Since October we have had no help or support from Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council (DMBC). Our calls to DMBC for a public meeting have been ignored and in response the people held their own meeting on December 15th 2009. From the meeting it was established that a common interest to see the Earth Centre used by the community was shared.

Our next public meeting is scheduled for January, 19th at 7pm at the Denaby and Cadeby Miners Welfare Club
– all are welcome and we will be discussing the outcome of campaigners meeting with the Millennium Commission on January, 14th and the Mayors response to questions by campaigners posed at the Full Council Meeting on January 18th. We Love The Earth Centre campaign has it own proposal for a community led People’s Earth Centre with volunteering environmental education and skill sharing at the heart of activities and this will be shared at the meeting on the 19th.

In the last few days it has come to our attention through much research that a company (RTTG) Rapid Technology Transfer Group and the DMBC have been privately making plans for the future of the site including an open day. To our knowledge this has not been publicised and very few people in the community are aware so in order that the community not be excluded again! We feel it important to share this information and hope many attend:

The We Love The Earth Centre campaign is concerned that this event has not been shared widely and we remain insistent that the community be put before profit and that they are involved in all aspects of planning and developing the future of the Earth Centre. It is also important to us that the site be used for grassroots development and be inclusive of all so we hope that you will study the motives and plans of this company and share your own visions.

Costain, White Design, eOn, Scottish Southern, Modcell, Royal Haskoning, Complete Energy Solutions, National Non-Food Crops Centre, SITEC, MTech, Pilkington, Peglers, Senior Architectural Systems, Glazpart, LBK Packaging, JCB, Kita, Holz Schiller, Saint Gobain, Beta Technology, Stramit, Hemsec, Titon, BASF, Greenspec, Green Building Store, Ransomes,Kognitiv, Polyflor, First Vision, Logix , Corus, Marmox, Balehaus, Cospica, MET-UK/Spice, Strata Housing

It is the aim of the We Love The Earth Centre group to bring together community to share ideas and skills and to work to preserve and protect our environment and our culture.

Love and respect.

The Truth is sometimes self-evident

13.01.2010 14:55

The Truth is sometimes self-evident.
The Truth is sometimes self-evident.

The Truth is sometimes self-evident, and if you are understanding what we say below, then you are able to appreciate the truth.

We The working/underclass are sick of pretending that we can make our current way of living "sustainable", that we can take control of the planet's reeling systems, that "one more push" will do it. It's time to acknowledge that "saving the planet" is a bad joke. We are entering an age of massive disruption and the task is to live through it as best we can and to look after each other as we make the transition to the unknown world ahead.

First things first: an end to mass-hypnosis and propaganda, a TOTAL pull-out of the illegal wars of aggression, and a proper public enquiry into 9/11 and the various terror attacks into us. People will be prosecuted. But more importantly, we will tell the truth. The apparatus of society will remain in place, we do not wish to dismantle anything, simply tweak the existing machine so that it is run by good people, for mankind, everywhere.

If you see what we see, and understand that our time is now, we ask you to listen carefully to what underclassrisng.net are about to say.

In one year and 9 months, on September the 11th 2011, the world will mark the ten year anniversary of the horrific terror our political leaders imposed on us. They sold us the massive fear of “terrorism”, so that our societies would keep our heads down and not question the control structure in place. We are social creatures, and social creatures do not question the control structure when it is under attack. We do this in times of peace. A never ending conveyor belt of fear is fed into our minds, be it communism, terrorism, the economy, or swine flu. We acquiesce our power so that we can be protected. Ergo, we place the collar over our own necks. This time has ended.

On August the 11th 2010, The people will begin a one month campaign of non-compliance. Tens of millions of people around the world will simply not turn up for work. Soldiers will not report to barracks, finance men will not sit at desks in glass and metal cages…The working/underclass will force the hand of the controllers, and expose their nudity, much in the manner of the story of the Emperor with no clothes. We will see them for what they are, frightened and controlled individuals, so far from what a human being could be, if given the chance.

At the end of this one month period, we will peacefully seize the capital of London, and we hope, of many countries around the world. We desire the people to take to the streets by the hundreds of thousands, we will have love in our hearts, we will be spiritually awake, and no longer scared. We will walk into Parliament, into Whitehall, and into Buckingham Palace, and the soldiers sent to drive us back will not open fire. They will see what we are doing, and they will be on the side of the people. The lies fed into their minds are dissolving, much like our fears are dissolving. We will occupy these buildings physically, spiritually, and symbolically. We will use the apparatus in place for improving the lot of people, and we will implement a new human constitution which aids the enlightenment and free will of all men and women, not only big business and career politicians. We will gently replace the class-structure with one which sees the individual as sacred. We will need the help of all of you, because we do not know how to write a constitution, nor do we know how to run a country.

The people do not want to run a country. We do not want to have any power of anyone, for that is not our role. We do not want people to follow us either, because our whole message is about individuals being independent and connecting to the source of the universe through their own souls.

We believe that the feminine will play a major part in the evolution of mankind. The female, woman, and her spiritual power has long been suppressed. She has been raped and covered up, she has been sold as property, she has been tricked into bondage in the same way men have been with the false promise of equality in the workplace, so that her soul can be devoured by the corporate world as well. Children are brought up by television because their mother, the goddess figure, is too busy with her career.

If we have conversed with God, we know that she is mother nature, she is all kind, and she is all loving. We have felt this power through my own mother, (round here we call her earth) and from the women we have met on my journey thus far. It is time for the female to return to prominence and to guide us back to the divine people we once were. It is no small matter that in indigenous cultures the female is respected as the spiritual connection to the Earth.

To all the Police and State Security people watching, we strongly advise you to consider who it is you are really working for. Are you working for a small band of thieves and murderers who run the political system, or do you work for mankind? Do you work for your children, and your children’s children? What kind of world are you helping create?

We know our plans for revolution will bring upon the working/underclass great tests in the near future, but we are optimistic about the power of the human soul. We have felt with our hearts the numerous times when the Police have understood what we are about and have treated us (sometimes) with the courtesy that we all deserve. When we look into their eyes we see the same thing we see when we look into my own eyes in the mirror. This is the connection.

We do not fear death, because we have lived and died before, and these matters are temporary, whereas our spirit is endless, and infinite, just like yours. We have felt love in countless ways, we have been given the honour of loving from the bottom of our hearts. We have reconnected my lost soul to the source which we all have inside us. The working/underclass have marvelled and wondered at the greatest joys and beauty of this world, and we have been given the chance to help out best we can. There is nothing more we want nor need, except the opportunity to keep on loving, which is its own reward.

This is the opportunity we have been waiting for. All despair evaporates and we see the simplicity of the plan; the people take the power back.

We will be there, all we ask is that 2 million people join the working/underclass in London. The destiny of the other capitals rests with the people there.
