Well worth the time.

Great clips, thanks!
They all seem to be saying that we are in trouble and will be in worse trouble in the next few years.
What we've been saying for years now.
It's really hitting the mainstream now. It really is.
I think that it's a good thing.

Thanks for posting....yup, we already know this stuff, but you gotta hit the masses over the head with it. Even then, I am not sure they will get it until people start going hungry....hunger might just wakem' up.

Thanks, roccman. Reading some of the other threads around here lately has gotten me down on trying to inform people about the effects of resource depletion and climate change, etc. Many claim it just won't work. But I think there are enough people who will 'get it' that it's worth it to point people in the direction of short, simple clips like these.

The Hopi Survival Kit - Chapter 6 - Prophecies Past and Present - Page 207/ 208.
Hopi Elders Quote:
| Quote: | Let us take a look into the future through the eyes of our prophets. They say that along the way the industrialized world will have certain problems. Throughout the world people will be uncomfortable because of the changing times. The worldly woes people will be going through. People will have to make adjustments to fit themselves into new life styles and environments.
The industrialized nations will become careless in getting more of the resources they need out of the earth, oil, coal, etc. Believing all these things will last forever. Soon natural resources will be depleted. Fuel shortages will occur; industrial machinery will come to a standstill. The machinery used for planting, harvesting and transport will become useless. The white man (Bahanna) with all his intelligence and technology will not be able to repair the damage.
Now let us review our knowledge briefly, the centuries old prophecies which warned us what would happen when we forgot the principles of right and wrong in our behavior. We will see extraordinary events in Nature and Earth, including mankind: because modern man ignores the wisdom of ancient culture and religion. Modern man looks upon old wisdom and knowledge as dead, useless and no longer respected.
Modern man began to depend on the money system and no longer Mother Earth for food. According to prophecy when this happens Mother Earth will hide the nourishment which she provides because of the view that ancient food is poor man’s food.
When all food disappears modern man will try to correct his mistake, the conditions he caused upon the earth through his inventions. He will try to achieve some kind of method to heal the wound, but this will not be possible when we reach the point of no return.
Only through peace the survival of mankind and our planet Earth is possible. Only if we, the human race, are willing to change. |

There's little point in them "getting it" if they aren't offered alternative models for how they could be living. There's little point in lecturing people about resource depletion and environmental damage if we aren't willing to walk the talk. Look at how much credibility Al Gore loses with some people because of his lifestyle.
We need to be the change we want to see; we can't wait for everyone else to "get it" first.
