Plan to Ban Steenbras fishing

 

The copper – also known as ‘the red rhino of the sea’  - threatened to a point of no return. This fish was once abundant but has disappeared from large parts of the coast along South Africa. The Steenbras which grows up to 150cm and weigh up to 52kg have been heavily over-exploited and tredsteenbrashis has lead to the fish becoming endangered with catch rates dropping 90% over the last 27 years.

Thus the government is looking at an outright ban on fishing the steenbras.

The Border Deep Sea Anglers Association suggested a four month closing season. This would not help, because the copper lives up to 33 years and only matures at around 8 years. If the fish at the brink of no return then how is stopping for 4 months going to help the situation?

I say complete ban. Its common sense. The fish is becoming scarce. That is the ONLY option to keep the specie alive. Nothing else would work here.

Commercial fisherman are not happy because that would would mean less money. The Border Deep Sea Anglers Association would not be happy because they loose ‘’a great catch’’.

So the deciding factors will always be based on money – whereas it should be based on life. That fish is also here on earth, sharing this earth with us, and thus a earthling. We have no right to wipe it out for our own enjoyment and the sake of money.

But then in this world system everything is about money and that would get priority over life – that is called common knowledge. But its complete bullshit. It doesn't have to be this way. We need to stop as look at the consequences of our actions  and take self responsibility.

In an Equal Money system the fishing of endangered fish would be banned. The Steenbras would be saved in a equal money system. Because it should be common sense – because life is far more important. There would be no need to overfish in the name of money and greed and competition because everybody would have all their needs taken care of. The only reason the Steenbras is almost extinct is because of survival of those that fish and need the money.

I never saw the world as something that can be changed. Actually i never even considered changing the way the world is. I grew up believing that the world is just the way it is and that life is just the way it is. All the shit that is happening i never saw myself as responsible for it.

But as I started with Desteni I began to see just how ignorant i was. I began to pay attention to what is happening in this world of ours and started to see for the first time that there is a MASSIVE problem. We are living completely oblivious to the consequences our actions have. We care more about money than anything else. We struggle to survive in this world in the name of money – but the funny thing is that we created money. And even more funny is that there is enough resources for the people of the world to live dignified lives – there is just not enough money.

So Desteni have assisted me with my wake up call and eye opener. Lifting the veil. To stop complaining and Take self responsibility. And as a added bonus provides a solution. To the human – (Desteni I Process) and to the World - The Equal Money System.

We seriously have to reconsider our human way of living or soon we will have a very limited variety of species left on earth and that would eventually be the end of us. We need them more than we like to admit.

BBC Human Planet – Not Humane Planet…

 

I Watched BBC Human Planet a while ago and a few points came up:bbc_human_planet

The Point of the documentary was to show how humans have come to survive and live off the land in various environments around the world.

Oceans:

The Episode on Oceans showed some fascinating stuff – What people will do to survive.

The Most shocking was the compressor diving scene. It shows how about 80 men, who most are teenagers, dives down to 40m with a crappy boat. Air is provided by a thin tube for them pumped by a leaky compressor. Every time they dive they risk the compressor failing or tubes getting tangled. If this happens they will die.

Another risk is getting decompression sickness also known as the Benz. This is excruciatingly painful and can permanently paralyze you or kill you.

And they do this 3 times a day every week. Why? They need the money to survive.

They would not be doing that if they had alternatives! Some have been doing that for 30 years!

With a Equal Money System This would not happen. They would no longer need to put their lives on the line for money. Because in in a Equal Money system  everybody will have enough.

If you look at todays fishery you will notice that allot is being wasted. You have crappy boats going great lengths and depths  to make money. Where in a Equal Money System we can use the best fishing methods and technology available to get effective results – obviously considering the long term effect on the Oceans – The Ocean is Massive – with proper care it will provide enough food for Every being.

The Point is that with equal money allot will change, every decision will be made according to what is best for all. To End this bullshit where people suffer their whole lives to keep on breathing, to make sure their children keep on breathing – because with no money = no food= no breath. We have to pay just to breathe

With equal money your breath is free! Your children's breath is free.  You can be assured that from the moment they take their first breath till the day they give it back – a dignified Life with equal opportunity will be theirs.

What a World that would be. Only with Equal Money. Join Us.

Fishers go hungry after Ban to keep Beach for the Rich

For years the only way to make a living for some people is to fish of the beach piers. Some could make between R250 and R500 extra a month. And since the ban people have been unable to even feed themselves or their families. They depended on selling fish to get by.

The Durban City banned fishing of the piers to make the beach more pleasant for swimmers and surfers and to enjoy themselves as well as tourists. They obviously don’t care about the livelihood of those fishermen who are starving or need the money to pay for their children’s education.

Can you live with only R250 a month? For a house, food ad school fees?
What is the solution to this? The City wants to give the fisherman a pier just for them – unfortunately the fish don’t go to that pier. The city said they must use boats to do fishing – How are they to afford a boat? Where will they keep the boats? There are hundreds of fisherman making a so called living on the fish.

What is the real solution? Equal Money System. You won’t starve anymore because the fish don’t bite. You won’t need to go everyday for your whole life and fear the hunger of yourself and your family if the fish don’t bite. We all need to eat – so everybody will have enough to eat.

Our current economic system is destroying lives. If you don’t have money then you don’t exist, you don’t matter.

It is time for this abuse to end and for all life to matter – Equal Money System

Toxicity in Ocean off Cape Town

Hundreds of dead abalone have washed up on Melkbos beach near Cape Town in recent weeks, prompting fears that the ocean in the area between Bloubergstrand and Melkbosstrand is toxic. Two fishing boats also came across thousands of dead abalones and other dead sea organisms. A 240kg marlin also washed up.


So far no officail answer has been given as to what is the cause of these deaths.

This is a serious problem and little attention is being given to this point that has been going on for weeks.

Across the globe we are seeing havoc in weather and mysterious animal deaths. We cannot expect to live the way we do and exploit resources for profit and not have major consequences.

We must stop raping the earth just to get money. Lets implement the Equal Money System and start taking responsibility for our mess and stop this massacre of nature.
