“We face converging crises that call for transformational solutions. These solutions won’t come from political parties funded by predatory banks, fossil fuel giants and war profiteers. It will come from we the people, breaking away from the failed corporate political parties. Contrary to the President’s message, the Democrats have utterly failed to move us in the right direction” -Jill Stein.
The Cold War, often dated from 1947 to 1991, was the sustained state of political and military tension between the powers in the Western Bloc, dominated by the United States with NATO and other allies; versus the powers in the Eastern Bloc; dominated by the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact and its allies. This began after the success of their temporary wartime alliance against Germany, leaving the US and the USSR as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences. A neutral...
ass oh shit
It is time for Jill Stein to be heard on a national scale! Please help us ensure that her voice is heard.

As president, Jill would fight to set a worldwide precedent of peace by scrapping nuclear weapons. The only real way to remove the threat of nuclear weapons is to get rid of them altogether.
SeaWorld’s worst nightmare: Lawmaker proposes ban on orcas in captivity
WE ARE SO CLOSE GUYS PLEASE SIGN THIS
I..never expected this many notes??? omygod you guys!
We’re making good progress, lets keep up the good work and make sure everyone signs it! Keep it moving and in circulation, the more people that see it the more people who might sign!
Every little bit counts! we can do this!
We’ve gotten 9344+ Signatures since this was posted! Probably even more, since it shows the days tally about once a day- If we keep at it, we might just be able to make a difference!
Please sign this! These poor babies need our help!
Or we could like, not, because seeing those orcas is fucking amazing, have you people ever been to seaworld???
Your ignorance is clear on this subject. Have you ever seen the poor conditions they live in? Do you have any idea the things they suffer for your entertainment? I’m going to hazard a guess that, no, you have no idea.
All the experts in the marine biology field agree that the orca are not thriving in captivity. Their mortality rate is sickening- they live longer in the wild. Have you seen their teeth, among other things? Or rather, seen their lack of teeth? There are young baby orca at SeaWorld who have almost no teeth left because they are so stressed and bored out of their minds that they chew on metal and the sides of the tank. They break their teeth. They are not immune to pain, and if you’ve ever chipped one tooth in your life, you know tooth pain is one of the most awful things you can feel.
And SeaWorld has to drill out the centers of their teeth when they break and flush them out every day. Wild orca teeth don’t look like this! You might find a really old one that has a couple, over the course of its entire life depending on its ecotype and its specialized diet. But you wont find anything nearly so terrible as what happens to these poor creatures at SeaWorld.
You have no idea. You are protecting a company that claims better, world class vet care- But why do these animals need to be pumped full of medication constantly, things like vallium? Why is it SeaWorld uses a black zinc oxide to cover large rakes and sunburns, which basically paints them? Why does precious Sea World pay money to places like Mundo Marino, who keeps its orca in the most deplorable conditions you can imagine?
They Lie bold faced to the public, to people like you who think, ‘well, SeaWorld must know what its doing, right? They’d never lie to us!’ And that is what the uneducated public often thinks, however, the more of us that become edicated the less and less SeaWorld’s lies work. For instance…
They fight with one another, something that does not happen in the wild. They rip each other with their teeth, where in the wild, any disagreement between pod members would dissipate due to having enough space to keep out of each others way.
The Above orca’s name is Nakai. The injury took place during a show, where its seriousness was apparently missed because the orca actually had to finish the show before it was ‘discovered’ that he was hurt. Just recently an Orca Expert, Ingrid Visser, pointed out that the injury had orca tooth marks on it, and it is clear that this dinner plate sized wound was caused by Nakai being bitten. Injuries at SeaWorld happen far more frequently than you might think they do. Altercations between orca have even led to death.
The above is Kandu, who fought with Corky
Kandu V collided with Corky II leading to her death Kandu V was a female Icelandic orca who was caught in 1977 and kept at SeaWorld San Diego, California. She died on 21st August 1989 from a collision after attempting to rake newcomer Corky II. Kandu was 14 years old at the time and was mother to 11 month Orkid. Kandu had always been the dominant female at SeaWorld San Diego. The collision happened during a live show and several thousands of spectators watched as Kandu bled to death. The fatal accident occurred in the holding pool behind the main performance pool when Kandu attempted to rake Corky. Raking is a way orcas show dominance by forcefully scratching at another with their teeth, this happens a lot within captivity and many of the orcas have visible rake marks. Very few rake marks have been witnessed on wild orcas, this may be because groups tend not to mix whereas in captivity many different types of groups are made to live and perform together. Dr. James F. McBain, a staff veterinarian at SeaWorld said of the accident, at the time, that Kandu engaged in a “normal, socially induced act of aggression to assert her dominance over Corky”. Kandu missed Corky as she attempted to rake her and ended up ramming into a wall, rupturing an artery in her jaw and fracturing her upper jaw, she began spouting blood from her blowhole. The people in the stadium where quickly asked to leave. After a 45 minute hemorrhage Kandu V died, the whole time she swam by her 11 month old calf, Orkid. Orkid was later placed with Corky.
Again, SeaWorld is caught in a lie. This was not normal behavior at all.
This is Ikaika

Notice something off? That’s right, that’s not normal. Captivity does nothing good for these animals, who have been proven to be sentient, self aware creatures that understand things the way we do.
Tekoa, one of the orcas separated from its mother way too early and shipped off to Loro Parque on ‘breeding loan’ (Read: experimenting with setting up shop in other countries) - But nonetheless, they claim breeding loan. Why, oh why, did SeaWorld send ALL RELATED ANIMALS on breeding loan, where they have made at least one inbred orca?
Why are SeaWorlds orcas, in this foreign facility, allowed to be torn to shreds?
When you support SeaWorld, you support every facility that keeps cetaceans.
(Whales and dolphins/porpoises etc)
Including Mundo Marino….
This is Kshamenk. You may be wondering why I would mention an orca that neither belongs to SeaWorld nor lives in its care. I mention Kshamenk because SeaWorld pays Mundo Marino to keep this beautiful orca in one of the most, if not the most deplorable conditions. Why? Because SeaWorld pays for Kshamenk‘s sperm. When you support SeaWorld your money goes to places like this! It spawns other countries to say, ‘wow! keeping these animals makes TONS OF MONEY!’ They don’t give a rats ass about these animals and they never have.
This is the pool he lives in.
The gates are closed, he does not have access to the show pool- Outside of shows.
He often floats upside down, defeated, bored out of his mind. You want to know how he came to be here? His family was forced - deliberately- to strand/beach themselves. Mundo marino waited a little while then came in and pretended to rescue them. They let one go, and took the rest. All died soon after, leaving Kshamenk alone.
If you pay to go to SeaWorld you paid for this. You paid for thousands of cetaceans (dolphins and whales) to be slaughtered- literally- in The Cove, in Taiji Japan. Even Sea World has bought dolphins (and I believe also pilot whales?) from the dolphin drives. Recently they tried to import a second generation dolphin born from parents taken from the drive and still support it! They also tried to get beluga whale sperm from DEAD beluga, to pay whaling groups and encourage them to kill more beluga. (They did not get that permit.)
But SeaWorld announced that huge realistic aquarium thing, right? LIES. Each year they push back the date of construction, because they have not yet even filed for the permits to build this new blue horizons or w/e its called. They said it as a publicity stunt, thinking it would draw in more people. It didn’t work for those of us investigating what SeaWorld is doing.
Please PLEASE use this opportunity to educate yourselves on this matter! If you believe what SeaWorld is saying, you are falling into their trap. Their stock is down, their attendance is dropping like flies. We have succeeded in ending further obtaining of cetaceans in canada, and now its time to spread it to USA.
We don’t want to release these animals into the wild- Their health, currently, along with broken teeth and psychosis means they can never be released. We are fighting to get them retired to open ocean sea pens, sanctuaries in the ocean where they no longer have to perform circus tricks for your entertainment. SeaWorld tries to say they do it for education, but their education is almost entirely tricks, routines and behaviors. Any information they give is largely false, or even outright lies.
You can begin looking over information about these topics here
I suggest also watching Blackfish and The Cove, slave to Entertainment, and A Whale of a Business.
These programs do not hold all the answers, but they are places to start. The anti captivity movement has been around since the very first capture. You can help our cause by signing this petition, and by spreading the word. My fellow anticaps please add more to this, I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of topics to cover but these were the most immediate things I could think of off the top of my head.
b3n3aththesurfac3 has a lot of videos of things going on at SeaWorld for those interested, including unnatural beaching and stranding behavior, and also discovered the notorious Dolphin Pox disease in dolphins in Orlando.

Jill Stein’s Foreign Policy
Stein stated clearly that the U.S.’s current policies in the Middle East are destructive, and calls for an immediate end to drone attacks. She further states that U.S. foreign policy should be based on international law, and points to the recent agreement with Iran which, although far from perfect, is a good example.
* Support for governments that violate international law would immediately end under a Stein presidency. This includes all funding to Israel.
* The U.S. continues to ‘fix’ problems by doing more of what caused them in the first place. By changing the policy of funding and supplying weaponry to any repressive government or rebel group that seems to support U.S. interests, to one of adherence to international law, the creation of such groups as ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) will cease.

“You know the difference in Democrats and Republicans?” Bill Clinton said in a 2003 speech. “In every presidential election, Democrats want to fall in love. Republicans just fall in line.” Clinton’…
I encourage my followers to read and spread this article. It is a testament to how Republicans and Democrats are, at the end of the day, of like interest and like mind. It is only with a third party candidate, such as Jill Stein, that we can bring an end to this political duopoly that is slowly killing real democracy.

“I think there’s a mistaken pessimism and defeatism among activists thinking that the mass of money stacked against us means there’s no point,” an advocate for third-party contenders tells MintPress.
Jill’s Domestic Policy
* Under a Stein presidency, the military economy would transition to a green economy, with decreased dependence on fossil fuels, and an end to subsidies for military contractors. The U.S. makes more money from weapons sales than any other nation on the planet. This, of course, stimulates the economy, but a green alternative would also create jobs, and do so without causing the deaths of countless millions around the world. Additionally, the justified hatred that much of the world feels towards the U.S. would fade, as the U.S. becomes a more responsible player on the world stage.
* The minimum wage would immediately be raised to $15.00 an hour. As Dr. Stein pointed out, more money in the hands of workers will enable them to put more of that money back into the economy, by purchasing items that are currently out of their financial reach. So an increased minimum wage would not be a ‘job killer’, as the corporate-owned members of Congress continually claim.
* Today, tens of millions of U.S. citizens are burdened by crushing student loan debt. Dr. Stein would forgive that debt, again freeing those citizens to put more of their money back into the economy. It would have the additional benefit of showing the citizenry that the U.S. does, indeed, value education, and that the government sees higher education as something more than just another cash cow.
Jill Stein on Political Diversity
"You know we need a diverse set of candidates that looks like the American public, so we need half women. And whether it's exactly half or not, it doesn’t matter, but women's voices need to be represented and there are a diversity of women's voices. "We need to have African American women and Latino women and Caucasian women and women across the spectrum and working women, as well as middle class and wealthier women. You know we deserve the same diversity that others do. "And by the same token, we also need candidates who are standing up for the issues that matter to women. And I think we shouldn’t be satisfied with simply checking off one box with simply superficial lookalikes in the way that Barack Obama did not represent our stand up for the needs for African Americans, who went from having 10 cents on the dollar of wealth."
Jill Stein is a third-party candidate committed to offering voters more choices to combat a system that forces people to pick the lesser of two evils.
58% of Americans feel the need for a third party. The era of the political duopoly is at an end! The time to throw your support behind Jill is now!
Each and every American deserves a wage that they can live on! As president, Jill Stein would secure this fundamental human right for all.
Standing in a brown field that would normally be smothered in several feet of snow, Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday ordered cities and towns across California ...
This is yet another reason to back Jill Stein in 2016! Jill will put people, the planet, and peace over profit. We have to stand with the only candidate who truly cares about our planet, running with the only party who truly cares about our planet!
Jill’s current ballot access for the 2016 presidential election. We’re making incredible progress!
So if she’s “seeking ballot” and she doesn’t make it, is she a write-in? This will be my first election and I’m from Alabama and although I’m nearly certain most Alabamians will vote conservative, I still have a vote and I want to give it to a deserving candidate. I would have sent you an ask but I didn’t see an ask box on your blog.
Thank you for your question! If it says “seeking ballot access” it means the Green Party is currently doing signature drives in those states or appealing to the state electoral commission to allow the party to be on the ballot. If we’re unsuccessful in our bid for ballot access, we can still make write-in status. It’s very unusual that a Green Party candidate is refused both ballot access and write-in status by any state (barring Oklahoma). So it’s very likely you’ll get to cast your vote for Jill in November!
The third woman to enter the race for the Oval Office would like you to know that she is not "the lunatic fringe."
Unsure if you’re ready to vote for Jill Stein? Read on to find out what Jill’s all about!
