Gel Talk: Terry Border’s hard-to-describe project
Introduction from Gel Talks Everyday objects take on surprising and often hilarious roles in Terry Border’s hard-to-describe project. For years now, this unassuming photographer-sculptor-bargain-bin-shopper has worked with snack foods, office supplies, toys, and other items to create evocative and bizarre scenes. Making something great out of “throwaway” objects is a recurring Gel theme, and Terry’s work is a perfect match. To really get it, just watch the presentation – one of the most entertaining Gel talks ever. Terry Border at Gel 2008 from Gel Conference on Vimeo. All credits go to Gel Talks and Terry Border.

Inspiring movie for a weekend – La Belle Verte / The Green Beautiful
As part of an intergalactic coalition, a well-meaning space alien volunteers to bring a message of self-actualization and harmony with nature to the one planet rejected by all her peers as incorrigible–Earth. This family-oriented French sci-fi comedy chronicles her adventures on the chaotic planet. Mila is 150 years old and has five children; encoded in her brain are two telepathic programs designed to restructure the thinking of destructive humans. The first is a fairly mild program designed to inspire the humans to rethink their world and begin asking some difficult questions. The other is far stronger and rapidly indoctrinates subjects with lofty utopian ideals and makes them deeply aware of themselves.

Ladies! It’s time for organic cloth pads and menstrual cups!
Video / Introduction by Alen Mischael Vukelić There’s no need for blushing, and no, you don’t have to be an eco-hippy, to start wearing such things. First of all, if you really care for the environment, then share this post far and wide, to let us reach as many women as possible. Just imagine how many conventional pads and tampons are being used on this planet in just one month, and now imagine how much trash that is! If just a little percentage of women would start considering an alternative method to what they are accustomed to, they could actively help to reduce the load on the environment by doing such a simple thing as changing their disposables for washables and reusables. And it isn’t just an environmental thing; it is also a healthier choice, since many women who had...

Greening the Desert
Video / Visuals by Stanka / Introduction by Alen Mischael Vukelić This is one of the most amazing projects I’ve come across. An area which everyone would consider infertile, sterile – dead, is now a fruit oasis. It’s virtually a desert area, which was entrusted to Geoff Lawton and his team to “green the desert”. And they succeeded. Just imagine what the possibilities were if applied on a bigger scale………… I will let you now jump right into it. All credits go to Geoff Lawton and his team.

Waking Up to Change the World
Introduction and video by Matthew Armstrong – DitchYourBox.com Introduction Almost everything you’ve been conditioned to accept about the way the world works is a lie. People are waking up to the corruption of politics, the media, and the corporations that control them. There are so many issues that need to be addressed… from 9/11 to domestic spying, GMO and food freedom to drone terror and more. However, even though there are people addressing these issues, we need to get to the root cause. There is a single root cause to all issues facing humanity. The issues such as drones, wars, federal reserve manipulation, nsa spying, food wars, big pharma, etc. – all of this are symptoms. That root cause to those symptoms isn’t politics, laws, corporations, or machinery/technology. The root cause is you and me. It’s people. And unless...

300 Year Old Food Forest in Vietnam
Video / Visuals by Stanka / Introduction by Alen Mischael Vukelić I don’t know how many of you have heard of permaculture. I don’t know how many of you have heard of fruit forests. And I don’t know how many have heard the term natural farming. But what I do know is that we are going to speak about it here on this website. This time, we have picked out for you a tiny little clip to give you a pre-taste of what is going to come in the next weeks and months. Growing food naturally is not just healthy for us, but also a whole lifestyle and a mind changer which are closely attached to it. So beware, this stuff might alter your perception of food and growing food – forever, irreparable. Presented by permaculture teacher Geoff...

The Truth About Government Debt Default
by Stefan Molyneux There has been so much apocalyptic talk about this national debt crisis in the U.S. and Europe, and it definitely is a huge problem which will not be easily solved any soon, nor does there seem to be a real interest in solving it, because – obviously – somebody is making a whole load of money out of it. I like Stefan Molyneux’s cool approach to this topic; he shows us in numbers how, in fact, this whole thing of refinancing public debt really functions. ...

How much does the healthcare system serve the people?
Video / Visuals by Stanka / Introduction by Alen Mischael Vukelić The Corbett Report Today’s Corbett Report takes us into the depth and origins of the healthcare system, which – as we all know too well – serves mainly as an investment strategy for bankers and shareholders of the pharma industry – of course not just in the U.S., but all over the world. How much does this system really serve the people? The original introduction from The Corbett Report: “As Americans fret about the Obamacare website and wonder how the country became enslaved to the highest healthcare costs in the world, we turn back the pages to look at how the modern medical paradigm came together in the early 20th century, courtesy of the Rockefeller Foundation and their cronies. Join us this week as we explore the real...

Can you trade your knowledge?
Video / Visuals by Stanka / Introduction by Alen Mischael Vukelić Photo: Pixabay Knowledge assets in exchange for self-sufficiency Peak is peakin’ in this one. Telling us about the importance of knowing or doing something which can keep you self-sufficient without wondering where to put your money during this crisis. Knowledge might be your biggest asset – since whatever happens – you’ll be able to “monetize” it somehow, even if it were just in exchange for other goods and services. There is nothing really new in this observation – no – but it is a reminder to actively do something for your independence from government and people. Mr. Peak Crackers: Can you dig it sucker? ...

Do you lie to yourself?
Video / Visuals by Stanka / written by Alen Mischael Vukelić Photo: Stanka Vukelić Lying to yourself Do you lie to yourself? Why do you do that? If you lie to yourself, then you probably lie to others – as well. And as a result your life becomes a mess, and you start blaming others for the same mess you’ve created. Funny, isn’t it? The worst is that you know it, but you keep repeating – this lie that you are not lying to yourself – endlessly, because you fear that if you’d stop others would discover that you’ve been a liar all along. That’s your biggest fear. But what you don’t know is that you might discover who you are – if you’d stop lying to yourself – and this is something you fear as well. Persona non...

Vegetarian weight loss vs. vegan weight loss
Video / Visuals by Stanka / written by Alen Mischael Vukelić Photo: Pixabay Vegetarian weight loss can be challenging This is a testimonial on vegan food which I find very inspiring because of its simplicity. He shows us how he went through the different stages while seeking his answer to a healthy lifestyle. What I like in particular, are his comments on the difference between being a vegetarian and being a vegan, where he describes how he actually gained weight while being a vegetarian. This is no surprise to me, since I had the same problem. What most vegetarians are completely unaware of is that they have not significantly changed their fat input, and as a result keep gaining weight from products like eggs and dairy. But this is of course not the whole story; there are many more...

Urban self sufficiency: Food share – go ahead, take some, it’s free!
Video / Visuals by Stanka / written by Alen Mischael Vukelić Photo: Pixabay A urban self sufficiency project in England Self-sufficiency does not just mean to have control over your resources; it means freedom as well. Todmorden, a community in England, has managed to grow their own food in public places, which eventually means in their places, since a town or city belongs to its residents, doesn’t it? The end of this division starts right here, because it cuts off the perception of the invisible public, which is represented by the local leadership, and the residents who usually have no influence on the usage of public space. First steps towards urban self sufficiency About two years ago, somewhere in the beginning of 2011, a permaculturist, Bernard Alonso told me that in Canada – in the town where he lived –...

Professor Noam Chomsky, Academic Gatekeeper
Video by James Corbett / Visuals by Stanka / Article edited by Alen Mischael Vukelić Professor Noam Chomsky “guest” in The Corbett Report Introduction from The Corbett Report: Is Noam Chomsky an anarcho-syndicalist or proponent of the Federal Reserve? A fearless political crusader or defender of the Warren Commission JFK orthodoxy? A tireless campaigner for justice or someone who doesn’t care who did 9/11? Join us this week on The Corbett Report as we examine some of the subjects that Chomsky would prefer you didn’t think about. Professor Noam Chomsky reviewed by: Barrie Zwicker in his “Towers of Deception” wrote: “A study of Chomsky’s stands on particularly dreadful actions such as JFK’s assassination, 9/11, and with regard to the roles of the CIA and FBI, shows Chomsky to be a de facto defender of the status quo’s...

Live Like You Are Dying, 3 Mental Exercises To Enjoy Life
By Stefan Molyneux Photo: Pixabay Live like you are dying The joy of life comes back instantaneously when we are brought back from imminent death. Honor yourself, and you will honor life. This is a small introduction from Stefan Molyneux’s website: “Stefan Molyneux may be perhaps the most eloquent “red pill” in the alternative media. A self-described philosopher, Molyneux has a strong knowledge of history and a core compass reading of freedom and non-violence. He hosts a popular radio broadcast on his FreedomainRadio; his Youtube uploads have been viewed over 6 million times on his channel alone, and his site claims over 25 million downloads making his ideas the “largest and most popular philosophical conversation in the world.” His articles can be seen on mega-sites like Lew Rockwell and others; he has published several books on the philosophy of...
