Wheelers Corner 01 19th January 2020

And this was before he started assassinating people...

"The time has come the Walrus said, to speak of many things, of birds and bees and sealing wax and cabbages and kings..." and so a new year is underway and there are many topics that need discussing. Will you become a part of the discussion? the activity that awaits? ask yourself what could be more important than the world we live in...So I strongly recommend that you become a part of rather than being simply a bystander. We need you and your ideas and assistance for the tasks ahead. 

And the Wheeler's Corner blog site will attempt just that, I'm sure we will discuss many things, including cabbages and Kings...I brought half a cabbage from my local super market so as to make some coleslaw salad, half a cabbage and a few carrots combined with other items like cheese and tomato make a salad that lasts me a week or so....

So much for the cabbage, now for the Kings... or should I say one 'King' in particular...King Donald Trump...the newly proclaimed king of the USA...he is so [heavenly] into the role of king...that he now decides who will live and who will die...If you are from Iran, and you are a general, and you fail to bend at the knee at the command of wee King Donald, he will order your assassination...and a bunch of his henchmen from his military elite, will by using state funded and Israeli designed drones blow up a few locations... But King Donald is so sure of himself and that the American masses will support his murderous behaviour, that he threatens any one who opposes him and his dreams of glory with various fates worse even that death...can there be a fate worse than death?

But alas it would seem just a possibility that the American people have had enough of Trumps child like behaviour. Its bad enough that Trump can't come to grips with climate change, who can he assassinate to end the argument around climate change. I would like to assure my readers here on Wheeler's Corner I will do every thing in my power to STOP wee Donald Trump from assassinating good and honest Kiwi's and others who only want to leave a safe and livable environment for our children, grand children in the future:

This naturally leads me into the area of self education and practical activist behaviour to achieve the change required to ensure the protection of our fellow human beings.

Here in the Palmerston North Library on the 30th oj Jan 2020 at 7pm: Is a public workshop:

HEADING FOR EXTINCTION WORKSHOP 30th Jan 7pm at the Library. This is a new
version of the famous ‘talk’ and has workshop elements. 

Extinction Rebellion Manawatu is in the process of reaching out to other community groups so as to enable a combined effort to get some proactive reaction from our local government representives, and our major political parties to actually stand up and be counted in regard to climate change. 

I would love to see a full house for the library meeting on the 30th of Jan 2020 at 7pm. We look forward to seeing which Councillors [City and Regional] turn up, and informing the public who did and did not turn up...You see the election is now over, now is the time for behaviour change, I'm sure the public believes that is the case...the honeymoon is over...lets see you earn your salary and perks.

Greta Thunberg [Centre] the young Swedish activist Trump would like to Drone.

Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg joined thousands of protesters on the streets of Lausanne, Switzerland Friday ahead a summit for the world's business and political leaders in Davos that kicks off Tuesday.

Thunberg, whose solo protests outside the Swedish Parliament in 2018 sparked the global Fridays for Future movement, is among a group of young climate activists who are expected to attend the annual World Economic Forum event, which will focus on "stakeholders for a cohesive and sustainable world."

The youth activists are planning to attend the Davos summit to demand that "participants from all companies, banks, institutions, and governments immediately halt all investments in fossil fuel exploration and extraction, immediately end all fossil fuel subsidies, and immediately and completely divest from fossil fuels."

Those demands were published in the Guardian last week on the same day that global climate groups launched the "Stop the Money Pipeline" campaign to pressure banks, insurers, and asset managers to cut ties with planet-destroying companies. Thunberg echoed those sentiments in her address to the crowd in Lausanne.

"We are now in a new year, and we have entered a new decade, and so far, during this decade, we have seen no signs whatsoever that real climate action is coming—and that has to change," the 17-year-old said. "For well over a year, young people from all across the globe have been school-striking for their right to a future every Friday."

I published a wheelers Corner blog before Christmas covering the subject of what it means to be Christian:

When I saw this message [left] on my face book page I thought it was well worth sharing with you all. Because it says it all about what being a humanist means, for me anyway...the message is clear, we should not kill the message bringer, we should listen to the real message and consider what they have to say...

So come along to the workshop / meeting on the 30th of Jan at 7 pm at the PNCC public Library and share with us all, maybe we will all be surprised at how close our views are
Lastly here is a song from Joan Baez, its a about Donald Trump and it worth a listen: It is wonderful how a song can tell the truth about a persons personality etc:
