We Are The Many - Makana

MAKANA: [singing]

Ye come here, gather ’round the stage
The time has come for us to voice our rage
Against the ones who’ve trapped us in a cage
To steal from us the value of our wage
From underneath the vestiture of law
The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw
At liberty, the bureaucrats guffaw
And until they are purged, we won’t withdraw
We’ll occupy the streets
We’ll occupy the courts
We’ll occupy the offices of you
’Til you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

Our nation was built upon the right
Of every person to improve their plight
But laws of this republic they rewrite
And now a few own everything in sight
They own it free of liability
They own, but they are not like you and me
Their influence dictates legality
And until they are stopped we are not free
We’ll occupy the streets
We’ll occupy the courts
We’ll occupy the offices of you
’Til you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

You enforce your monopolies with guns
While sacrificing our daughters and sons
But certain things belong to everyone
Your thievery has left the people none
So take heed of our notice to redress
We have little to lose, we must confess
Your empty words do leave us unimpressed
A growing number join us in protest
We occupy the streets
We occupy the courts
We occupy the offices of you
’Til you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

You can’t divide us into sides
And from our gaze, you cannot hide
Denial serves to amplify
And our allegiance you can’t buy
Our government is not for sale
The banks do not deserve a bail
We will not reward those who fail
We will not move till we prevail
We’ll occupy the streets
We’ll occupy the courts
We’ll occupy the offices of you
’Til you do

If you still eat animals, you can help “Free the Turkeys” by simply not eating a turkey’s body this thanksgiving.

If you don’t eat animals you are already saving the lives of (On Average) over 100 defenseless animals every year, and you can spread the word this thanksgiving to help free more Turkeys.

Why would you want to eat the dressing, but spare the bird?

Why would you bother to set a Turkey free?

Consider that your Thanksgiving Turkey’s natural lifespan is
10 - 12 years

Elapsed time from birth to slaughter of the turkey on your table;
9 – 15 weeks (That’s WEEKS).

Ratio of “living time” gifted to your turkey by The Creator, to the “living time” allowed by the factory farm industry supported by turkey eating consumers;
Fifty to One (50:1).

Percentage of “Living Time” stolen from the birds by those who eat them;
98%

Turkeys’ Neurological capacity to feel pain;
Same as humans, cats and dogs.

Natural behavioral tendencies; Turkeys are social, playful birds; they enjoy the company of others. They relish having their feathers stroked and like to chirp, cluck, and gobble along to their favorite tunes. Anyone who spends time with them on farm sanctuaries quickly learns that turkeys are as varied in personality as dogs and cats. When not forced to live in filthy factory farms, turkeys spend their days caring for their young, building nests, foraging for food, taking dust-baths, preening themselves, and roosting high in trees.

Number of humans slaughtered by glutinous birds each year in the U.S.;
Zero

Number of turkeys slaughtered by (For) humans;
Over 18 Million in 2007

Number of Americans who snuffed out Big-Bird’s life because they were starving, and had no other option;
Zero!

Turkeys’ right to Life (Living out full life span), Liberty and the pursuit of happiness;
Obvious, unalienable, undeniable, God-Given.

Right of humans to deny these rights to Turkeys (The United States’ first proposed national symbol, later replace by the Eagle [who is protected by law]); Illegitimately invented, indefensible, non-existent in reality.

Why humans (Usually via contract) commit (Participate in);

Rape – Artificial insemination, and injections of near lethal doses of growth stimulants and other hormones, antibiotics, various other drugs Etc,

`
Terrorism – Subjecting non-threatening sentient beings to; Daily conditions so threatening that birds remain in constant fight-or-flight mode, and hormones related to extreme desperation continually saturate the bloodstream,

Torture – De-beaking, toe-trimming, wing cutting (All without the use of anesthetics), separated from family members, forcing birds to spend their short lives crowded wing-to-wing, beak-to-butt, standing in urine and feces, choking and gasping in an atmosphere deficient in oxygen and replete with poisonous methane and nitrogen compounds and saturated with deadly infectious microbes… struggling in conditions severe enough to kill high percentages before slaughter time, And some undergo the increasingly popular practice (Banned in many counties, but legal in the U.S.) of “Flank Battering”, delivering bruising blows to the live birds body to “Tenderize” the meat, Then transported to the killing facility, tossed and squeezed into trailers driven unprotected through any and all weather conditions, hung live, upside down on body pearling conveyor hooks… and then,,, well it gets worse.

Murder… Actually premeditated Pedacide (Slaughter of individuals in childhood), turkeys who would naturally live 12 years are inhumanely killed while still youngsters (At about 3months old) and processed for your feast.

Additionally, handling fowl is the easiest way to contract salmonella and campylobacter, which sickens or kills many people every year.

Environment… Factory farming animals to produce food is the single industrial practice with the greatest insulting ramifications on the environment and therefore the future… The near future is the era where our children and grandchildren would like to live in a world with safe water and breathable air. Some people think that it’s just not fair to steal the future from our kids for no good reason. With regards to the wasting and polluting of water, the poisoning of the air, the wasting of resources, the release of greenhouse gasses, the clearing of rainforests (The Earth’s Lungs and Medicine Chest) Etc. industrial “Factory Farm” methods, which produce virtually all the birds killed for Thanksgiving feasts are the worst offenders. Concentrated Factory Farms provide the genesis for very threatening infectious diseases. Such operations for producing fowl are the birthplace of “Bird Flu” as one example.

There is no way to produce a 35 lb., 3 month old turkey without forced feeding, caged immobilization, and huge pharmaceutical input… This can not produce a healthy bird, and eating such “Abuse” certainly does not produce healthy people…
By the way “Organic” Turkeys are still the product of disease producing abuse, commercial “Free Range” is only a deceiving term, and while “Organic Meat” may deliver fewer poisons it’s still murder.

Eating commercially grown animals is a practice which (Because it is so wasteful and polluting) simply is not sustainable on a planet with limited resources and an ecosystem in delicate balance, and such behavior does indeed directly take food away from other hungry people and reduce our ability to provide food and a clean world for those who are now the children we so love.

More and more people just can no longer reconcile the hypocrisy that allows for “Giving Thanks for the Plenty”, when that “Plenty” has taken life from another, fostered the acceptance of killing (By the Billions Every Year) and so damaged our one and only Home Planet as to threaten the well-being of everyone in future times.

It seems to many, who have considered the facts, that there will be no way to excuse such selfish behavior when the grandchildren ask “Why did you so carelessly contribute to the ruination of our only life-giving planet, and what was it like to live in a time when people participated in such horrific and careless consumerism which was responsible for torture and murder of those in their care?”

This is the unholy legacy that turkey eating people bring into their bodies and share with family and friends…

We sincerely wish that everyone has a happy healthy Thanksgiving.

…Thanksgiving is an appropriate time to exercise compassion and not interrupt the peace and happiness of others.

Happy Thanks-Giving, Right to Life for All Society

Your worst day is a picnic…

Most American children start out with several strikes against them, negative influences abound. MacDonald’s [un]Happy Meals, toys-n-burger combos, on-site playgrounds; poison advertizing, shitty (literally… e.Coli infected Sloppy Joes, Salmonella-ized chx wings, Listeria laced cheesy stuff, deadly Hormone ‘Enhanced’ sweetened cows’ milk, sugar drenched, trans-fat greased, genetically perverted God-knows-what) junk slip-sliding out of the school cafeteria, parents’ poor examples, junk, junk everywhere.

Maybe Mitch can help.

The Secret Life of Mitch Spinach

There’s a new kid on the block . . . Mitch Spinach, a healthy super hero, who solves mysteries using the strength and brain power he gains by eating plant foods. A fun children’s book series for kids ages 3-9 (sounds like good reading for people of all ages), The Secret Life of Mitch Spinach gets kids ASKING for fruits and vegetables so that they can be more like Mitch Spinach.

Mitch Spinach seems to be an ordinary kid, but his classmates have begun to suspect something when he is so often called to Principal Lycopene’s office. The notes in his custom-made, temperature-controlled Nutripak lunchbox appear to have been written in code, and he receives secret messages on his futuristic watch. While other kids eat their usual chicken fingers and pepperoni pizza, Mitch Spinach mixes up his meal in a battery-powered blender and boosts his brain power with various super-foods, such as dinosaur kale and bean soup. The truth is that his high-powered meals give him special powers, such as super-sonic hearing and amazing night vision, which help him tackle problems and solve mysteries at Sunchoke Elementary.

Every kid wants to be a super hero, and every kid can, if they eat as Mitch Spinach does. Kids don’t like to be lectured about what to eat. Get the kids in your life excited about eating plant foods by introducing them to Mitch Spinach books.

T-shirts and book packages available at http://www.MitchSpinach.com.

“This book changed my son’s life, I am not even joking. He would not eat spinach or anything green. It was this total power struggle. I can not begin to tell you how this simple book made all the difference. He loves this book! He reads it every night and now he eats spinach regularly, REGULARLY. I don’t know how long it will last but I wish Mitch Spinach was a real person, I would love to give him a hug.”

“Received our book and already have a request from the kids to try out the smoothie recipe in the back! Great story, wonderful art, very nicely done! I’ll be taking it by the school and showing the school board as well, hopefully we can get this book onto school shelves for maximum exposure! I’ll put in a request at the library while I’m at it. Every kid should read about this cool new Hero!”

“The Proof is in the . . .Spinach!? We have 3 children ages 8, 6, and 4, and while our daughter is eager to try new foods, our boys are definitely not! We purchased The Secret Life of Mitch Spinachnever thinking it would have such an impact on our boys’ eating habits. Well, we were happily surprised when the boys actually asked us to prepare some spinach for them. Not only did they “try” a new/healthy food, but they finished their spinach salads, and even asked for it in their lunches the next day! Needless to say Mitch Spinach is a hero in our house!”

“I have been obsessing about the fact that my 8-year-old granddaughter has been only eating macaroni and cheese and peanut butter and jelly for the past several years. She won’t touch fruit or vegetables. I thought Mitch Spinach might be a good book to help her understand why it’s important to try new things and begin to eat healthy food. I sent the book to her in Chicago, and she read it with my daughter and she began to eat carrots, some fruit and other vegetables. Thank you for writing this book. It really helped.”

“The Secret Life of Mitch Spinach is a fun and thoroughly appealing book. I purchased one for my six-year-old daughter and just had to send one to my two-year-old nephew as well; both kids loved the story and the vivid illustrations. As an adult, I appreciate this intelligent book and the message it sends: eating well can make you smarter, faster, and better able to solve the problems you may face each day. Mitch Spinach is a hero in our home, and we can’t wait to read about his next adventure!”

“I just finished reading “The Secret Life of Mitch Spinach”
and I love it! You did a great job! I so appreciate the lessons that were instilled in your book about healthy eating while making it so entertaining for children. Educating parents about healthy eating and the statistics of proper vegetables and how they affect our health was such a nice bonus. What parent wouldn’t love this for their child and it is always nice when we learn something new as well as our child.”

“Mitch Spinach is great! I surely will spread the word. It’s wonderful the effect this will have on many children, I’m sure. Since many parents are slacking in educating themselves regarding the foods they feed their children, you come to the rescue and teach the wee ones through creative and fun prose and pictures!”

“I am so thrilled with the Mitch Spinach concept and highly recommend this valuable little book to all parents and parents-to-be. I look forward to introducing my son to Mitch! Hopefully, there will be many more tales in the future. I applaud Hillary and Jeff for their brilliant vision.”

Less [standard] health care leads to better health. No question.

Some of the smartest doctors are suggesting that you “Just Say NO”.

Test-mania clearly kills more people that it saves, research is replete with the math that proves it. Invasive ‘biological phishing’ intended to invent reasons to cut, burn and drug is by no means serving the welfare of the people, but does provide lucrative business opportunities.

This is not news to many of us, but the recent article in Newsweek’s Science section will present this point to the general public.

Dr. McDougall’s comments on the subject are born of many decades advising and healing people with what I call ‘Rational Health Care’.
