Middle Income Me
Looking back as many of us do on New Year’s Eve, 2011 for me has been a year of many eye opening experiences and firsts. Its interesting to note that according to one website, the meaning of the number 11 (2011) corresponds with this.
“Therefore, the very basic and primary understanding of the Number One is that of new beginnings and purity. When we see this digit doubled as with the 11 – then these attributes double in strength. In numerology the number 11 represents: Higher ideals, Invention, Refinement, Congruency, Balance, Fulfillment and Vision.”
And here I find myself on the first day of 2012 looking forward towards what may come this year. Again, I look at the meaning of the number 12 to see what its meaning may hold for me.
“The number 12 is believed to be the number of strength, conviction, absoluteness and finality. Of all the numbers, 12 is attached with beliefs of mystery and authority. Giving more substance to the belief of the number being authoritative, jury is usually made of 12 judges. Even the human heart chakras are 12 in number. While 12 noon is the descent of the Sun, 12 midnight is the ascent marking the turn of events as well. 2012 is attached with a transformation of the world as per the Mayan calendar.”
On this day, the first day of 2012, I spent the morning helping interview Jagrup Brar, an MLA here in BC who is going to live on welfare for the month of January. This means he will be living on $610 for an entire month. Out of this he will pay $400 for rent, $25 for a cell phone, and $42 for bus tickets. This leaves him less than $4/day for food, laundry and any other things he may need.
I was introduced to the downfalls of the welfare system by a friend who recently has gone through hard times. She is living on welfare which does not even cover her rent of $800/month and so she may be facing eviction as she was not able to pay her full rent in December. Merry Christmas.
As someone who grew up in middle income Canada and was never faced with the hardships of being low income, losing my job or even knowing others in that situation I am learning so much. I was born in the 60′s and even though it is a cliché, times were different back then. My father owned a business and made a typical middle income living of approximately $30 000/ year in the 70′s and 80′s. That income was able to allow my mom to stay home, we owned a nice home on a 1/3 acre lot with a pool, owned a car (sometimes 2) and went on a trip every other year.
These days a family income of $80 000 / year in the lower mainland of BC barely pays the bills, let alone affords a vacation or saving for a down payment on a home or saving for retirement.
Times they are changing.
Mr Brar will be speaking to people who are living on welfare month after month without hope of that changing. Many of these people are trying hard to find a job but often can’t even afford the transportation to get to the job interview. He will be living side by side with them for 31 days, going hungry, living in a cheap accommodation, and struggling with welfare lineups and public transportation.
It is so much easier to be blind to the sadness and difficulties of people around me, but I can no longer do that. My friend grew up just like me – middle income. This can happen to any of us and I know it can happen to me. I am a single dad myself and pay an average amount in bills just to live every month. I am only one pay cheque away from not being able to afford my home at any given time. I have 4 children and do not live extravagantly. The home is 1700 sq feet with 3 bedrooms and no new furniture. And I am one of the lucky ones. Funny enough I work at a bank and so I am well acquainted with the difficulties of average ordinary families who are all struggling to get by. In so many cases there is no extra money to put towards savings. People are struggling just to pay the bills. The gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and the middle class is disappearing. Yet in the emerging markets of Brazil, India and China a new middle class is growing. What does all this mean to us?
I was impressed with Mr Brar. He seemed sincere and genuine and wants to meet the people on the street and the working poor – not just meet them but get to know them and their struggles and help this province work towards a solution.
Another area that was brought to my unwanted attention this year was another government organization known as MCFD – The Ministry of Children and Family Development.
Prior to June 2011, I thought people who’s children were removed from them were people who had legitimate problems and issues and could not cope with having their children, or that the kids were abused in some way. Like many I trusted our government system to take care of me and those around me. I never thought that my children could be at risk of being removed and I did not personally know anyone who’s kids had been.
Then I met someone who is a single parent. He had 3 children who were 100% in his care. The mother lived in another province and had drug and alcohol issues. The mother reported a lie to MCFD about him and one day they simply came in and removed the kids from his care and placed them in a foster home. He fought this in court and after spending thousands of dollars in legal fees got his kids back but they were then removed twice more from allegations from the mother. Through his case and hearing others like it my eyes were opened to a horrible world based on greed and of course money. Even our government who are elected for the people by the people is only interested in one thing and that is money. Removing a child from a home pays many people from the foster parents, to getting funding for centers, to paying social workers and down the line. The welfare of the child is not at the forefront and it is the children and the natural parents that suffer while others profit.
This is not my world. Would I rather stay ignorant to the suffering and challenges going on all around me? Sometimes, YES. My entire paradigm is being challenged. How could I not have seen this? I am in my 40′s and lived in small towns and large cities including Toronto. My ex helped out with a street mission feeding the homeless and we often had drug addicts and street people in our home and yet even with that, I assumed that that was them and this was me. I did not think I could ever be like them. Those who had their children removed must have been for a valid reason right? MCFD wouldn’t come in and remove for no reason, would they?
I can no longer pretend ignorance. I know personally 3 children who’s lives have been destroyed and turned upside down because of wrongful removal. I know personally a parent who cries for his children every night and just spent Christmas without them and yet he is helpless against the system. I can no longer stand by idly and live in my ignorance. How can this be going on right under my nose? Not just my nose but the noses of millions of people like me. People who are financially living quiet lives of desperation, wondering how they will pay their bills. People who are doing okay and can’t believe that the system of government that they voted in (or did they not take the time to go vote?) is ruining the family structure right in front of them. Like me, maybe they just don’t see it.
And what about things like wi-fi and smart meters? Have you seen the new cell towers going up all around us? Did you know the damage that the radioactivity this can cause to our children is now scientifically proven? Is the convenience of wireless internet, cell phones, wireless remotes for the Xbox, cordless phones, and now smart meters worth our health and the future health consequences to our children? There are groups out there spending their lives to fight this and other causes and most of us prefer to just stay home and watch TV, or read a book. We get up, go to work, come home and hope and pray that our pay cheque will cover the bills and allow our kids some kind of lifestyle that resembles abundance and joy.
What is your cause? Can we afford to wear rose -coloured spectacles any more? Next time you see a homeless person on the street, think about what it took to get them there. Could that be you one day? When you see a child in foster care, ask yourself how far away are you really from that being your child? Do you know that all it takes is a “concerned citizen” to call in and say that they heard you yelling at your kids or the sound of a slap and they can come take your kids without proving anything? What about the things that are happening all around us that we are not even told about, like the effects of radiation from wi-fi and cell phones? Why is our own government not protecting and informing us about these things? The simple answer is MONEY and IGNORANCE. We are all guilty of ignorance on some level until it is your sister or cousin or neighbour that suffers and then you have a choice to make. I choose to not remain ignorant any longer. I will do my part to change this province, this country, and this world in which I live and raise my children in. What do you choose?

Sept 29th Bmadd Y show with the new ZeitGeist
The New Movement
Zeitgeist is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the general cultural, intellectual, ethical, spiritual, and/or political climate within a nation
We interview Rob and Adam From the Langley chapter http://www.zeitgeistlangley.com/
We'll continue this on www.TntEventsRadio.ca
The Zeitgeist Movement is not a political movement. It does not recognize nations, governments, races, religions, creeds or class. Our understandings conclude that these are false, outdated distinctions which are far from positive factors for true collective human growth and potential. Their basis is in power division and stratification, not unity and equality, which is our goal. While it is important to understand that everything in life is a natural progression, we must also acknowledge the reality that the human species has the ability to drastically slow and paralyze progress, through social structures which are out of date, dogmatic, and hence out of line with nature itself. The world you see today, full of war, corruption, elitism, pollution, poverty, epidemic disease, human rights abuses, inequality and crime is the result of this paralysis.
This movement is about awareness, in avocation of a fluid evolutionary progress, both personal, social, technological and spiritual. It recognizes that the human species is on a natural path for unification, derived from a communal acknowledgment of fundamental and near empirical understandings of how nature works and how we as humans fit into/are a part of this universal unfolding we call life. While this path does exist, it is unfortunately hindered and not recognized by the great majority of humans, who continue to perpetuate outdated and hence degenerative modes of conduct and association. It is this intellectual irrelevancy which the Zeitgeist Movement hopes to overcome through education and social action.
The goal is to revise our world society in accord with present day knowledge on all levels, not only creating awareness of social and technological possibilities many have been conditioned to think impossible or against "human nature", but also to provide a means to overcome those elements in society which perpetuate these outdated systems.
An important association, upon which many of the ideas of this movement are derived come from an organization called " The Venus Project" directed by social engineer and industrial designer, Jacque Fresco. He has worked nearly his entire life to create the tools needed to assist a design of the world which could eventually eradicate war, poverty, crime, social stratification and corruption. His notions are not radical or complex. They do not impose a subjective interpretation in their formation. In this model, society is created as a mirror of nature, with the variables predefined, inherently.
The movement itself is not a centralized construct.
We are not here to lead, but to organize and educate.

Una St.Clair-Moniz is currently Director, Citizens for Safe Technology (CST), a non-profit, educational group of parents and concerned people located in the Lower Mainland, who are advocating for precautionary measures in the use of untested and unregulated wireless technologies. Precautionary actions would include hard wiring computers in schools, restricting cellular antennae on school grounds and other sensitive areas, and educating on the safe use of cell phones. Una started this non-profit group after experiencing shocking ill health effects which she believes stemmed from exposure to the microwave radiation emitted by the wi-fi router in her office.
Prior to starting CST, Una worked with Dr. Samuel Epstein and the Cancer Prevention Coalition as Regional Coordinator, North West Region, and was also Education Coordinator for the Humane Education Society, which provided education to schools and other organizations on healthy relationships with animals and the environment. Una currently works as a Certified Imago Relationship & Communication Educator with the Imago Institute which was started by Dr. Harville Hendrix, supporting couples, families and businesses create healthy and positive communication skills.

An intro to an audio book by John Watts The poweerful The Power of the V
Power of the V. John Watts. Secure Transaction or call toll free 1(800)247-6553. To Order Price: $24.95. Shipping & Handling Rates. Shipping and Handling ...
Author John Watts has hit a gold mine in the hearts of his readers with his new book, “Power Of The V.” His recent first signing at Barnes and Noble in the ritzy Beverly Hills section of The Grove drew a record number of supporters.
Barnes and Noble management confirmed that Watts drew a crowd that not even celebrity authors have garnered during their first time out and his book sales doubled!
The arch of “Power Of The V” centers around women’s values. John Watts was encouraged to write the book when he witnessed a pattern of poor dating choices by his two daughters, who are now aged twenty three and twenty four. John recalls:
“They were dating unemployed guys who were gang banging with no education. These were ex-cons, and all the while my daughters were working, going to school and trying to make something of themselves.”
John continues: “They were just having sex and having kids (which now totals five children) by five baby daddies and nobody’s married.” Watts decided to write a letter to them reminding them that they were just giving themselves away, when they had the power!
The message here is that because you are a woman, you should value yourself and have self worth; and seek the same worth in your mate.
The realization also hit that Mr. Watts’ daughters were having unprotected sex. The threat of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases prompted the thought, “Hey, I can deal with a baby, but I can’t deal with or learn that my daughters could die needlessly from AIDS.”
Customers of “Power Of The V” range from 12-73 and transcend race and gender. Various ploys are exposed for women to know the many things that men will do to get between their legs. Watts clearly states that a woman can validate herself, and not wait to be validated by her man. According to John:
“The best situation is where no one dominates the other, they (the couple) share the moment.”
A scroll through the chapter titles tease with subjects like Easy V, Poor Girl’s V, Rich Girl’s V, Home Wrecker V and The V Recession, among others.
The steady stream of customers during his five hour book signing is indicative of the strength of “V” power.
Watts and his brilliant team have crafted a complete line of V products. A free gift awaits those lucky enough to order from the book’s first shipment. John Watts’ high hopes of having his own talk show or being on the new Oprah Winfrey OWN network could come true at the rate that he’s going.
At the moment, he’s tapping in and cashing in on the power that has brought forth all of creation: “The Power of The V!”
Copies of the book and other gift items are now available at http://www.kistonebooks.com.
