 do about the Upcoming Double Whammy\n\nwith ANTHONY MARR\n~~ on Tour to 
 Save our Planet\n\nOur economy, along with the global economy, is toppling 
 off a cliff and the Earth’s global ecology, all life on land and ocean, 
 is in a death spiral.  Anthony Marr, author of 2 books and 2 online blog 
 spots, renown activist in behalf of wildlife, and recipient of prestigious 
 awards for his activism, will address this double calamity that’s looming 
 on the horizon.  Not a doomsday prophet, Anthony is a dynamo speaker who 
 will inspire us all to help restore the Earth and navigate our way through 
 the collapsing economy in the coming years.  He writes:  “Those warning 
 the world about global warming, climate change, the methane time-bomb, food 
 crisis, economic collapse, social disintegration and potential third world 
 war have been vilified of being ‘doomsday prophets,’ and tarred with 
 all kinds of unsavory projected motives, anything from egotism to 
 narcissism to profiteerism.”  A man without ego, narcissism, or profit, 
 Anthony Marr has a positive philosophy to tell us about, even though this 
 warning is appropriate to the current world situation.  Come and hear what 
 he has to say about the dire situation of the world today!  He is aware of 
 this situation but he has a positive message to communicate!\n\nOn the 
 economic front, Anthony sees a huge storm coming, and imminently.  He 
 predicts that by 2015 at the latest, the U.S. Dollar will have crashed, 
 resulting in hyperinflation and huge increases in food and fuel prices.  
 The latter will grind transportation to a halt, and food outages will be 
 prevalent especially in major cities.  This will precipitate food riots, 
 looting, home invasions, and general social disintegration.  Large 
 metropolises will become death traps.  Anthony will discuss the causes, 
 possible solutions, and personal survival through this upheaval.\n\nOn the 
 ecological front, the industrial processes of agribusiness and mining and 
 drilling have already destroyed more than half the Earth and are proceeding 
 to deforest the Earth completely.  Just as all the continents are  turning 
 into deserts under the practices of agribusiness and industries which 
 destroy the soil and plant life, the oceans too are becoming ocean deserts, 
 devoid of life, due to over fishing, acidification, and over heating.  We 
 are every day bringing massive amounts of carbon and methane to the 
 Earth’s surface where it enters into the atmosphere, heating up the 
 Earth, causing a mass extinction of all life.  Mass extinction will not 
 necessarily spare humanity.  Anthony will speak about mass extinction and 
 what some of the possibilities are for life on Earth and 7 billion 
 people.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  
 Street\n\n$5 donations are expected\n\n\n
