   James and James,
   Profound Aspect – The Changing of the Cultural Meme by Independent Alternative Media
   Actually, all of your stories this week highlight something very profound. It can not be overstated. There is a dynamic shift in the cultural meme of awareness and attitudes. I attribute the cause of this shift to the alternative independent media; certainly not the mainstream media nor the government nor the mega-corporations.
   VERIFICATION – Look at the dynamic difference of 2006 against 2017 in the cultural meme.

   EXAMPLE – WikiLeaks Vault 7 – A decade ago, even the mentioning a small aspect of 9/11 Truth came with being labeled “a batshit crazy conspiracy theorist”.
   EX – 2006 & 2016 comparison MEDIA – Look at the current huge quantity of independent researchers, blogs, YouTube channels, websites, etc. Look at the dying mainstreammedia. …and this is “an individual level”, a decentralization.
   EX – Look at how GMO’s are demonized and how the organic food & alternative health industries are expanding.
   EX – Look at how people take it upon themselves to make things happen, like bitcoin, open source solutions, etc.
   EX – Look at efforts to decentralize, like Brexit or the current US politics.

   The MAJOR FACTOR: Without a doubt, it was independent media like you guys along with each and every one of us who spread this awareness.

   The world is changing and we are a part of making that change.

   This relates to your story on boycotts. As an oldie who was active and around in the civil rights/women’s rights movement days, we (me and my cohorts) found boycotting, news stories, word of mouth about the bad things happening, especially when tied to a specific corporation, is very scary to retailers and very easy to do.

   I also wrote tons of letters to congress people and CEOs, detailing my complaint or highlighting the good news. Plus nowadays you can post on Facebook where it’s out there in front of God and everyone (until they take it down). For letter-writing, good heart strings tugs for READERS to see are family safety, product makes you feel afraid/unsafe, product made your children ill, etc. The companies don’t particularly care, but it can make an impression on other readers, who vote and sometimes write to the company also.

   Another, less heart-stringy, approach is to highlight the financial costs of this information being put out there (the company loses money), and let them know clearly you will be quite vocal to family and friends about this issue. And, if it gets scary enough, they will cave (ie, the company risks going under).

   A lot of old people remember having rights, and I think we would do well to put the alarm call out to them, especially. The social security card they got said clearly on the front “NOT TO BE USED FOR IDENTIFICATION” because they were so resistant to having a number. They can write, they can talk about things (how ’bout internment of Japanese and Italian citizens? You don’t have to be liberal or conservative to feel nervous about that episode!)

   I really think in some cases the higher ups don’t ever get the details about what’s happening.

   Love ya, God bless ya, both Jameses, stay well and keep up the good works.
   Shar

       Shrinking the Technosphere: Getting a Grip on Technologies that Limit our Autonomy, Self-Sufficiency and Freedom
       Dmitry Orlov makes many interesting points (some I agree with, some don’t align with my desires).
       BIG OIL directly connected to the TECHNOSPHERE – This is a very interesting aspect which Dmitry brings up. (Personally, I feel permaculture with its alcohol fuel production resolves Big Oil as a Solution.)
       Dmitry gives insight about society, its meme’s and culture and cities vs rural. He also has intimate insight about Russia.

   Best thing people can do for their health and life and humanity is to boycott every product made with GMO and glyphosate (roundup) contaminated food products. There are many products made with GMO ingredients and among them are Coke and Pepsi products. People should totally stay away or avoid as much as possible from all products made with corn, soybean, canola, wheat that are NOT organic. If you know how toxic these food products are, you would never put them into your body. It has been very hard for my to cut off Coke cold turkey (has been a Coke drinker all my life) but by remembering the huge tumors developed by rats that were fed GMO corn has helped me to stop drinking all soda and any GMO foods.
