vegan butcher in newtown, i pop in while i'm on an excursion with some people, i heard lots of stuff about it and never had a chance to investigate and to be honest i'm underwhelmed considering i've looked at some of the english supermarkets who have whole isles dedicated to vegan products and a lot cheaper, however kudos as australia is a different market and the culture here is very different, it's going to take time for people to change and suzie spoon has her heart in the right place. plus her chilli vegan sausages are amazing so i suggested they start an online shopping so they can distribute widely. the central coast has no vegan butchers whatsoever. it wouldn't surprise me if suzie spoon was the first in australia although melbourne seems to have everything you could want when it comes to food.

i'm back in the surf, it's huge this morning, the pounding roar is still echoes in my ears, the moment i felt the water my heart seemed to wake up, my skin absorbing it's glory, man it was beautiful as i cut through the white wash out into the turbulent breaks and positioned myself for the waves.
one by one i surfed back to the shoreline, wave after wave, my body shuddering in the energy, massaged violently i stretched out, pushed down and was lifted. 

as far as the abc goes, yes it needs a complete sweep, it's ridiculously bias and stupidly adopts a group think approach. i don't want to watch a panel of people agreeing with one another in terms of good or bad, i want critical thinking, i want both sides of the argument, i want to hear the other side not blindly accept the primal notion that left is good and right is evil. that may have existed after the second world war and in the fifties but these days politics is slightly different. people are brainwashed zombies soaking up one side because they appear warm and fuzzy, the reality is left and right are almost the same in an area that i object to, they are both globalists. only one side lies about it more than the other. one sides taxes the public to fund waste and corruption, the other seems to think the wealthy will assist the poor, this has been the case considering some wealthy people are adopting various causes but any free thinking individual will be able to see it's all a lost cause. any country that surrenders sovereignty to the united nations is finished, the un has its own agenda and as i repeatedly report, it's more dangerous than anything you can imagine. 
however i'm just an observer, watching it all from mission control, watching information become manipulated and twisted as it always has been by various agendas and their followers, the problem is if you adopt a side you are the problem. politics like religion will never offer us answers, the secret is in the politics of the self. individuals have to sort their internal conflicts and agendas, their own power and controls, their own agendas before anything fundamental can change. 
in the john le carre novel 'the tailor of panama' a simple tailor gives false intelligence under pressure and starts a war, this is reflected in the bush administrations war on terror and possibly the events around 9-11.
what ever happened we were not told the full story, we were deceived and from that deception spread many others from all sides until information becomes useless, it's all lies. any individual creates a tube video that creates conspiracy and a million followers agree, is it true. must be. hitler made some videos that said, jews, gays and gypsies were descended from rats, he used science and some photographs. look how that story ended, conspiracy is real, yeah people in power are corrupt, we all know this to be true, it won't ever change, even rome suffered corruption. 
as long as people focus outwardly, they are not looking at themselves, and that's why nothing is true until you know who you are, until you heal thyself, and that can take lifetimes. 
i know it's wrong to do harm, i try not to, i have my pet hates and my own passions but they belong to me, i don't want to inflict them on others except occasionally they slip through. i don't like the big govt. it's the end of everything.
i'm so influenced by orwell's books 'animal farm' and '1984' i can't help but see things through their prism, he was as close to the truth on politics as you can get.
