Derrick Jensen interview for "Clearcut Nation" documentary

Clearcut Nation - the Movie

'Clearcut Nation' illuminates the decades of destructive logging practices which have been approved in the watersheds and forests of California--the watersheds that support all of the life in the state. It focuses on the Battle Creek watershed in Shasta and Tehama counties as an example, but overall is about how we treat, and relate to, the natural world. It includes interviews with author Derrick Jensen, botanist Julie Kierstead Nelson, PhD fire and vegetation ecologist Dennis Odion, PhD hydrologist Tom Myers, wildlife biologist Monica Bond, and rural residents who have experienced the vast changes to the land. This film is based on 8 years of research and field work, as well as decades of life experience in the wild lands of California.

Interesting author: David Grinspoon - Deep Ecology - How we can engineer our way out of global warming.

Yes, we are clever monkeys... We can figure a way to solve our own problems. Looking at our history over millions of years, we have figured out how to survive every time and it's likely that we will do so this time too. Geoengineering might work!

I saw him talk about his book at the Smithsonian Institute and his words were uplifting. Just because we have not come up with the solution yet is not cataclysmic because there are smart people being born every day. Maybe one of them will think of something new. Like a giant air conditioner that moves excess air pollution into space...

Quote from the Amazon webpage about this book:

For the first time in Earth's history, our planet is experiencing a confluence of rapidly accelerating changes prompted by one species: humans. Climate change is only the most visible of the modifications we've made--up until this point, inadvertently--to the planet. And our current behavior threatens not only our own future but that of countless other creatures. By comparing Earth's story to those of other planets, astrobiologist David Grinspoon shows what a strange and novel development it is for a species to evolve to build machines, and ultimately, global societies with world-shaping influence.

Whistle Blower Cancels GOP Pro-Insurrectionist News Conference. Matt Gaetz & Marjorie Taylor Greene Seen RUNNING AWAY from Protesters. Giant Trump Puppet... Mockery!

Matt Gaetz Event SHUT DOWN By Protesters...

HEADLINE: Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene's press conference on Capitol rioters shut down by protesters...

A press conference from the pair in Washington, D.C., about imprisoned alleged participants in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots was derailed entirely by protesters.

The presser and the protests come as the legislature is beginning its hearings into the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol building. The demonstrators ruined shots of the conference by ambling into the background with accusatory signage. At the same time, a lone person loudly blew a whistle to drown out the speakers.

and then I read a Wonderful Story... AG SAID:

My daughter starts middle school tomorrow. We've decorated her locker, bought new uniforms, even surprised her with a new backpack. But tonight just before bed, we did another pre-middle school task that is far more important than the others. I gave her a tube of toothpaste and asked her to squirt it out onto a plate. When she finished, I calmly asked her to put all the toothpaste back in the tube. She began exclaiming things like "But I can't!" and "It won't be like it was before!" I quietly waited for her to finish and then said the following:

"You will remember this plate of toothpaste for the rest of your life. Your words have the power of life or death. As you go into middle school, you are about to see just how much weight your words carry. You are going to have the opportunity to use your words to hurt, demean, slander and wound others. You are also going to have the opportunity to use your words to heal, encourage, inspire and love others. You will occasionally make the wrong choice; I can think of three times this week I have used my own words carelessly and caused harm. Just like this toothpaste, once the words leave your mouth, you can't take them back. Use your words carefully, Breonna. When others are misusing their words, guard your words. Make the choice every morning that life-giving words will come out of your mouth. Decide tonight that you are going to be a life-giver in middle school. Be known for your gentleness and compassion. Use your life to give life to a world that so desperately needs it. You will never, ever regret choosing kindness."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grateful_dead_(folklore)

Grateful dead (or grateful ghost) is a folktale present in many cultures throughout the world.

The most common story involves a traveler who encounters a corpse of someone who never received a proper burial, typically stemming from an unpaid debt. The traveler then either pays off the dead person's debt or pays for burial. The traveler is later rewarded or has their life saved by a person or animal who is actually the soul of the dead person; the grateful dead is a form of the donor.^[1][2] The grateful dead spirit may take many different physical forms including that of a guardian angel, animal, or fellow traveler.^[3] The traveler's encounter with the deceased comes near the end of the traveler's journey.^[3]

This Image Shows What Colin Powell's 2003 UN Press Conference Would Have Looked Like. He Was Promoting the Insane Bombing of Civilians in Iraq... Just Like Pablo Picasso's Guernica Painting... That was COVERED BY SHEETS so it would Not be Visible During the Press Conference...

Colin Powell gave a Press Briefing at the United Nations

where he explained the Reasons for going to War in Iraq.

Press Briefings are always held in front of Picasso's Painting "Guernica" that depicts Insane death from the sky.

Powell was proposing starting a war that would have a lot of

Insane Death from the Sky... 

SO HE HAD JANITORS COVER THE PAINTING AND HE SPOKE IN FRONT OF A WHITE SHEET...

A Brief History of the War In Iraq. OOPS, We Blew Up The Wrong Country. On 9/11 Fourteen (14) SAUDI ARABIAN Hijackers Flew Airplanes into The World Trade Center. Five (5) Were NOT Saudis.

George W. Bush (the Son) felt that He Could NOT go to War with The ACTUAL people that Caused 9/11 so he had the CIA write FALSE Reports so he could start a War Against Iraq. Years Later We Learned that Iraq Had No WMD, Had No ties to Al Qaeda and Had Nothing at all to do with 9/11.
