Always do the research underneath the research

http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=20 (a project of Greenpeace.)

You know, the older I get, the more skeptical I get when I come across websites that sound oh, so very altruistic and public-serving. It's kind of like where I live in this moment, when people want to tell me immediately that they're Christian and where they go to church and how much they love Jesus (many folks are wonderful and believers - but they don't normally go around shouting about it to folks they don't even know and have barely met, so please, don't get your back up.)

Thus far, the people who have scammed me or tried to, are those very ones. Gives those of us who have a faith a bad name, for sure.

Same thing for these organizations. They talk so nicely. They spin the words so well. But the research (and then more research) shows a bit of a different story...reveals a tone that speaks to a narrower agenda. And they attach such Freedom-sounding names to their organizations and sub-groups.

Just do the research, yes? My all-time favorite is activistcash.com. And unabashed, unashamed he is, the fellow who runs it - and the Center for Consumer Freedom. He's against everyone and everything from Mary Tyler Moore to the Humane Society.

Watch the words.
Watch the Spin.
Be aware.
Do your own research.
Stand up for Oneness. For a new day for our grandchildren and children. Don't be fooled.

Peace. We are the Awareness of a New Day.
