"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY W/FABULOUS BOW-TIES
was ambushed on CNN by SHOOT THE MESSENGERS attack
journalists
who
bit and snarled and fought his idea
that
"all Myths are lies-yet all men live by Myth"
THEY
accused scientists of alarmism/of"Chicken Little" Syndrome
Bill
softly countered that climate change is a central syndrome of our
time
They
attacked him for his presentation of data
He
countered that denial of data is also a syndrome of our time
That
the costs of denial are compounding
That
infrastructure destruction via tornadoes,hurricanes etc
far
exceeds our capacity to rebuild
mentioned
Katrina &New Orleans/New York flooded
whole
towns flattened by series of wild winds
They
talked over him/shouted him down
Soft
voices soothed the listeners
Calm
data presented our times
as
times of central climate change
despite
CNN,FOX and faux "journalists"
Whisleblowers
,investigative journalists,truthtellers-
Manning,Nye,Wikileaks,bloggers,independent
thinkers
the
climate HAS changed.Now witch hunts on all who speak
A
climate of fear and surveillance.Which will win?Love and truth softly
spoken
or
hate radio/TV fanaticism/shouting down those pointing to
these
"winds of change"?
