Counter Culture and Politics

 France-

While watching this BBC documentary the other day

(http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08lp7fx)

I was so surprised that some of the far right activists -

and properly far right, 

not just Front National supporters -

looked like hipsters.

And,

that seems to be a common thing..

I suppose we have been living in a liberal age and each generation rebels against the one before it…,

and far more young people are involved in ecological or leftist movements -

they just don't get as much attention.

I think the French elections are incredibly interesting.

Although Marie Le Pen will do very well,

I do not think she will win.

There is a definite current of anti-establishment feeling which is also manifesting in support for leftist candidates like

Jean-Luc Mélenchon (currently at 20%, this is promising)

and Philippe Poutou -

It will most likely be Le Pen/Macron- 

(or better -Melenchon)

in the run off-

(It’s possible)-

but difficult to predict elections these days-

If Le Pen wins,

It's the end of the EU as we know it.

Most my friends who live in EU-

don't want to see it gone.

They say the lives of hundreds of millions of Europeans,

will be so much worse-

That maybe people forget how regularly Europeans fought each other before -

the true 'Dark Continent'.

and, they say look at the violence inflicted by European nations abroad in Libya, Iraq, and other places , UK and France-

And that countries like Hungary have gone semi-fascist -

They imagine how much worse it would be without the EU (even if they blame the EU..)

They say anyone who understands history knows that Europe would be so much more of a mess without the EU.

Even Greece, who have suffered more than anyone-

Hmmm..

I think it is extremely belittling to say that countries would be worthless without the EU.

One must also remember that after the war there were 30 years before the EU began and it didn't drive itself into war.

There are EU alternative ideas- (Diem25.org)

but, could reach further-

Syria-

I just don't know.

Chemical attacks are a special kind of horrific.

There can be no excuse.

None whatsoever. If it was rogue commander, the buck still stops with Assad.

I don't believe it was the rebels, as some say.

He's done this before, or at least members of his regime have. 

Trump's reaction surprised me.

It's just theatre.

I don't want

the West to be dragged into another war,

but I think something must be done about the Assad regime.

It's such a vicious mess..

there are no good outcomes.

What I do think is interesting is Trump removing Bannon from the national security council and seemingly doing 'deep state' / neocon actions abroad.

His supporters are so angry!

Also,

liberals that are outraged should probably shut up -

Where were they when Obama was bombing Syria?

I suspect this war will only end when the main actors get tired..

When they become men of peace,

or a new generation takes over.

This is what happened in Lebanon, pretty much..

But Lebanon went on for 15 years -

Syria's only been 6 years so far.

How many more will have to die?

This is an interesting article https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/27/world/middleeast/syria-civil-war-why-get-worse.html

Westminster / Sweden, and Berlin last year. and Nice!-

How can you stop lone individuals from jumping into a truck and mowing down innocent people?

The lower tech the terrorism, the harder it is to stop. In fact it's probably impossible.

I suppose, rationally,

it's still so incredibly unlikely to happen.

But,

it's difficult to think like that, I know.

I'm increasingly convinced there are no solutions of Syria. That whatever we do or not do, only time will be effective.. The main players need to become sickened by war..

or grow too old and the new generation will make the change..

Of course that's not a very positive short-

and medium-term future for the people! :(

Reactionary youth...

I read something the other day that the 'millennial' generation have social attitudes about the place of women (ie at home, not at work) that are more conservative than the generation before.

I find this interesting—

I have to agree in part.

It does feel like the expected order of things has fallen apart..

Maybe the last thirty years or so were a blip?

Or is this the blip?

Maybe technology will save us.

That jobs will become unnecessary.

Wealth shared because it's all automated.

People free to pursue their dreams.

Culture and compassion bloom. More likely we'll end up with a Bladerunner-type situation... But it's a beautiful day today and must have faith in humanity!

The future can be changed.

France

I woke up in Paris today.. 

concerned about young people as usual-

I write in the mornings. 

Ramblings 

Some more scattered than others. 

But 

while it is close to the 

French 

Election - 

And I'm surfing 

the news channels 

In horror - 

Seeing what is 

going on in other parts of the world. 

From CNN to BBC to RT

I'm in shock how different people's views can be. 

That is why I watch it all.  

And,

I wonder what 

Is the purpose of government?. 

Why do people rely on Governments for jobs?

Why is that a political issue?

Technology is a big reason there are less jobs. 

Has Trump created jobs he promised in America ? Other than trying to bring back a few jobs in coal . (Just politics)

That are destructive to the environment and destroy worker's health even. 

We have to create our own jobs. Find our own passions. 

Renewable energy - the arts, animal welfare, teaching emotional stability - 

learning about our own minds and bodies. 

People will always need hairdressers, nail technicians, beauty industry and entertainment are always great even in the worst of times. 

Designing, technology, the healthy vegan food industry- the future. 

Be forward thinking in thinking about jobs. 

Dog walking. 

Lifeguarding. 

Janitorial services

Mentoring

Fostering 

Are all valuable and respectable jobs.

Hotels, waiters, waitresses, cooks, hotels are full of young people working. 

List every industry in France. 

I'm curious why people blame the government for anything/they cannot be counted on really - 

Governments need to worry about healthcare, education, 

positive immigration, infrastructure, the environment 

and security. 

It's not where are the jobs? 

It's what do you want to do? 

And do it!

Just do not work in a foie-gras factory or slaughterhouse please. 

it is so sad.

And can't 

be good for the soul. 

To witness devastation every day would be very difficult and numbing. 

Protect your spirit. 

Are there jobs at wineries?. 

Vineyards?

I loved working outside.  

I started working in fields picking strawberries and blueberries with my mom very young. 

And we picked apples for extra income. 

I waitressed at 16 part time with my mom at a pancake house while finishing high school 

and gave half my earnings to my parents. 

My parents worked very hard. 

It was impressed on me very young 

that the harder you work,

the luckier you get. 

And to chose a job that suits you. That you enjoy- 

But, 

you must work - 

and not rely on the government or anyone else

to get you jobs 

or 

give you a check for doing nothing. 

Self esteem is important 

Hard to feel good about yourself if you're not at least volunteering at an animal shelter (if you are receiving government help)

You must still get out of bed each day early - 

and do something productive. 

Read, go to museums. 

That is your job 

if you don't have one. 

Those things are free. 

Feed your soul. 

Your brain ..

And 

when you are ready 

And deserve it 

you will be compensated. 

Create your own job even if you are not being paid. 

Help people. 

The universe validates good decisions. 

If you are able to afford university.  

You can study to be

Doctors, nurses, Lawyers, financial advisers, writers, philosophers. 

Hard to go to university to be an artist. Might as well just get straight to it. 

No one is responsible for you, but you. 

So when voting. 

What do you look for in a candidate?

Someone who is trustworthy 

With a good track record. 

And, has heart.

We are all human. 

No one is better or worse

At the start of our lives-

Our circumstances change us I understand. 

Some have more difficult beginnings. 

Like Syrian refugees. 

It just seems the classes 

shift into 2 groups

rich or poor. 

The rich are not happier - 

Happiness is about expectations. 

Make someone happy today by accepting them, think about where they come from and what they need. 

How far they've come. 

Give them a chance. 

If you can employ people 

Do it. 

Don't discriminate. 

Take a chance on someone 

Don't fear people. 

Fear the politics. 

Fight for human rights and positive integration of refugees. 

Young people are suffering -

I hope to visit the refugees stranded in Calais and Dunkirk again soon- 

Maybe you can too. 

Bring mens clothes. No one thinks of the men there. 

Please support the 

Refugee youth service in Calais

Thanks

Celebrating Femininity

Photo by Rankin for Coco de Mer Icon Collection 

Dare I say it...

Capitalism Ate Feminism

I want to celebrate what makes us most feminine-

Things that men can't do-

like giving birth-

being a wife and mother—

our virtuous qualities-

and focus on how we can make those beautiful abilities easier on women—

Women’s health, the right to chose, hormonal health, domestic support and protection — sexual health, and prosperity in Love-

Women are not interested in the Male power struggle—

Putting women into the workforce reduced wages (around late 70's onward)

And made us slaves to the work force—

Does a middle class woman want to be a garbage man- or a high voltage line worker?— probably not. - It is the wealthier class that wishes to 'break glass ceilings' for a more lucrative or better position at work?

I don't get it.

I don't believe we are any happier this way.

Let men be men- and let women be women-

Women competing with men- does not help us— We have better things to do- like being mothers. 

Men need to protect us-

stay committed as best they can (we are human),

and care for us and our children properly.

that is what makes a man sexy to me— 

I need a real MAN-

so, I can be a Woman-

We are different for good reasons.

We need each other like puzzle pieces.

To inspire greatness in each other.

It is much more sensual-

to be who we are—

and, It also won't

emasculate men- (my mom said it's not a great idea to make more money than your man/ if you do- don't tell him? Ha!)

This makes the sexual dynamic stronger—

and with better sex-

comes happier couples —

War is not feminine-

and just because we are women-

we are not all aligned with each other—

you wouldn’t see me hugging Madeleine Albright-

who said killing families in IRAQ was ok—

That is not feminine—

to put any child at risk?—

War is for men-

it is born of Ego’s and shallow thinking-

and-

and as an activist for the planet,

and all it’s living beings—

Nuclear war will not be good for the environment-

I don’t think money is feminine—

It is a scam—

The most important thing to me is Love-

It is what everyone needs in any class of people-

We have gotten off track-

and have not looked after our children well enough-

we have abandoned them-

had others raise them,

We have lost empathy for

people less fortunate—

and the elderly—

and for what?

power?

money?

I am not a conformist,

or an airhead—

I don’t share everyone’s views—

Just because some people have strong views it doesn't make them an authority.

I think for myself-

I don’t expect people to agree with me-

I’m aware It’s a risky perspective-

I am a woman-

Who is learning all I can,

every day—

assimilating information-

which transcends into my priorities …

How to be a better woman—

softer, sexier… forgiving,

loving—

That’s my goal-

and, it is a pleasurable pursuit…

Skavlan, Sweden

Hello Sweden,

Sweden is a beautiful and progressive country-

I love the
HM alternative/challenge - www.about.hm.com/en/media/news/general-2016/five-innovations-that-can-reinvent-the-fashion-industry.html

PETA has also sent a letter to HM. We are still waiting for response-
but are optimistic that HM wishes to be a 100% animal friendly brand-

In general-
My feelings about super progressive countries-
and cultures-
Are
that the good out weigh the bad-
of course-
but,
We should also be sensitive to any potential down side

The feeling
I'm getting
in today's 'dating' culture
is that -
We've lost some of our sense of humor -
and might be hyper critical -
Which makes it a bit
'risky' ...
and unapproachable…

Women
are strong.
We run countries, businesses.
We are single moms, wives,
lovers.
And quite capable as adults to be responsible for ourselves,
And that includes being co-responsible for decisions being made in the bedroom-

I believe in female empowerment
but, it seems some cultures actually want to keep women viewed as victims -
to strengthen
the state…?

Within progressiveness
is 'new territory’-
that should be discussed and examined-

I support women’s rights,
but
There is also big risks for men
that no-one wants to talk about-

As a mother to 2 young men-
this concerns me—
the messiness of love-
searching- learning—
full of unknowns etc—
Taking chances,
risking rejection etc.

Young people are loaded with information -
good and bad—
What they view on line etc—
might not be- what love looks like—
We need to make that clear—  
As parents -
but, also collectively.
Navigating a love life.
Is emotional, and can be difficult.
Worth the risk?
I worry people are less likely to put in the effort-
in fear of disappointment, inconvenience,
heartache. or prosecution even-
and we are turning more to quick, easy fixes.
Which I think is destroying human connection.

and,
of course,
we all naturally worry about our daughters
(Sweden sets a fine example) ,
but,
we MUST also worry about our sons-

As for MEN,
in America-
I’m no fan of the harsh style of
Trump-
I think it sets a confusing example to young people-
what is acceptable- etc—
but unfortunately there is kind of an epidemic
of typically American male crassness-
and disrespect of women- ‘locker room talk” -
I think that is embarrassingly unimaginative
and is a sign of a
complete lack of intelligence and character.

I do not wish to Demonize all men in America of course-
But
There is a
harshness that's hard to feel good about -

and-
Then -
America's political discourse is unattractive -
And
difficult to watch.

I'm writing a book right now.
The Sensual Revolution that touches on all of this.

Intuitively
I've been practicing projecting strength, humanness,
empathy.
It is a practice.
I'm blessed with what I have created.
A balanced Life.
And,
I've learned that realizing my dreams are my responsibility
-asa human being-
no matter what my sex is—
 
I also believe we still have roles to play -
that are quite different if we are a man, or a woman.

Heterosexually -
We still want the man to make the first move..
be chivalrous-
Woo us-
and not have that misinterpreted—
or,
make men afraid to act—
It can be quite paralyzing—
literally.

I don’t believe any woman benefits from that.  

There are too many lonely people out there—

I want to encourage loving relationships,
Including marriages of course,
and,
for people to grow old together
living romantically
till their last days—
there IS such a thing-
My mom and dad are a good example.
 
My book is about sensuality -

A sexy kindness.

I think it will be
very appealing to women.
But, also to men. Who might be curious -
What women want IS mysterious -

And-

I'm afraid people might forget how to make love.

I do point out in my book -
just
for fun-
One thing we might not be responsible for-
is our own orgasm.
That is our lover's job.
Or was...?
In a society that is becoming desensitized, robotic
and in some cases debilitatingly prescriptive.
Women are faking orgasms more—
maybe to just get it all over with-
It’s a lot less fun.
and such a shame-
And sends mixed signals-

Maybe this is how we deal with over-population ?
Less sex?

I do believe in zero population control,
birth control etc—
only replacing ourselves etc—

I know this is a sensitive subject and we walk
a fragile line.
but,
We need to talk about this- honestly—

I hear so many complaints- from men and women-

I’m no guru -
I’m not a prude because I believe in Love-
I just might have a unique perspective on the subject—and I’m not afraid to talk about it-.

I’m writing my book full time,
and volunteering for  
my foundation full time now.
It is such a great feeling to be fully involved in what I'm passionate about.

I am getting more involved with
The
Courage foundation
Who helps to defend whistleblowers ...
like
Edward Snowden,
Chelsea Manning
and Julian Assange -

My relationship
with Julian -

It's no secret,

He is one of my favorite people-
and
He might be the most famous, most politicized refugee
of our time.
Famous for being persecuted.
Famous for being persecuted is not a position of power but a position of vulnerability.

I am concerned.

Sweden must feels a tremendous responsibility to America -
to give him up?
Which is a shame.

Julian is a human being who is extremely empathetic and cares deeply about the world.
And -
because of his work .
He has made some powerful enemies in a few countries- America especially
by exposing them.

Julian is trying to
Free the world by educating it.
It is a romantic struggle—
I love him for this-

He is the strongest person
I know-
but,
living as he is,
is very unhealthy,
demeaning
and inhumane.

I have faith that Sweden might begin to think 'progressively'
and not cave to the US-
like most other countries do-

This is a good opportunity to show Sweden’s strength-
and healthy
 individualism -

The world is watching.

The topic of Sexual responsibility, liberty and respect.
is very important to me.
all aspects of it—

And, since Sweden is leading on this subject for women.
We must look to Sweden to make the tough decisions-
and set the tone—
to protect both women and men-
We need to send a clear signal to men too-
that they are of equal importance-
 
Sweden is also very progressivewhen it comes to climate change.

20 percent of women between the ages of 16 and 25 are vegetarian or vegan.
Mostly for environmental reasons.

I wish those Swedish views would rub off on our new president.
It's hard to believe the American president in 2017 does not believe in Climate change.

Environmentalists are angry with election results -
rightly so-

I know it's natural and easier to blame someone -
Sometimes Julian,
sometimes Russia. ?
But-
the actual reason-
The Democratic
establishment lost -
Is because
it abandoned the people
-and presented itself
as superior -

I do have hope-
I think the democratic party has a chance now - to reform -having learned a big lesson.
That
not going with Bernie Sander's caused them to lose.

As an activist,
I feel drawn to startingconversations -
I'm
not so much a
political junkie-
But, a defender of human, animal and environmental rights.
I'm interested.

We, more than ever,
need TRUE information.
This is how we empower ourselves to make the best decisions for ourselves,  
and our families.

This is a hopeful time for
Wikileaks followers-

More and more people understand that
Wikileaks can be depended on,
and is one of -
 the only
sources-
of True information
available to the public and other news agencies-

I hope Sweden can help Julian -
by building a better public
understanding -

We all want to be treated normally,
and fairly according to our individual circumstances
and not to have our vulnerabilities
be exploited by a super power,
the media, sexual politics
or,
publicity seeking officials.

It is only fair that
Julian is set free and compensated -
and live the life he deserves -
as the UN ruling suggests.

He's a good person who cares about the world.
Everyone can see what has been done to him is wrong.

He is a kind and deeply empathetic person.
Uncompromising on principle.
Something that is born out of his
disposition to curiosity.
Often the public image projects
a harshness that Is not at all what he is like in a relaxed and trusting environment-

He’s the good guy… and I admire him greatly-

Assange quote-

“There is no peace without truth,
No war without lies” ... JA

You can't argue with that- it’s the truth-

Thank you,
Pamela

Why should they love me?
I don’t know,

Letter to Taoiseach Enda Kenny of Ireland

Dear Mr. Kenny,
 
I’m looking forward to visiting your beautiful country and was excited to learn from my friends at PETA that a bill has been put forward to ban wild-animal circuses in Ireland. As a longtime animal advocate, I give the bill my full support—and I hope it has yours, too.

Animals in circuses never benefit from “the luck of the Irish.” Instead, they’re denied everything that is natural and important to them. They spend their lonely lives constantly on the move, transported in cramped conditions, and shackled or caged for hours on end. And they don't perform tricks such as jumping through rings of fire or dancing on their hind legs for fun—but out of fear of punishment.

Today, most decent people see animal circuses for what they are: cruelty. Consequently—as I was pleased to hear—towns and cities across Ireland are overwhelmingly passing motions to ban them from public land. I truly hope Ireland seizes this opportunity to implement a national ban and joins the ever-growing list of countries that have banished this archaic form of so-called entertainment. I would love nothing more than to raise a glass of Guinness (I hear it’s vegan now!) with you when that day arrives.

Sincerely yours,
 
Pamela Anderson
