All over the world it's happening all over the world. This phenomenon of bullying and misuse of power is happening all over the world. It is a global issue. What also is happening is a universal awakening. There is a collective consciousness that is being born and it is without physical borders. It is transcending among the countries, among the languages, among the genders, among the races and among the cultures.

This awakening is also referred to as the shift. It is a dominant change of how society functions. This shift is created by an undeniable need and is a part of human evolution. Consider other eras such as hunter and gatherer, the agricultural era and the industrial revolution. It is interesting how sometimes evolution appears as a revolution. This new time upon us may also resemble a revolution in more ways than one. Change may be challenged. Transitions may be challenging.

It is generally accepted that the world is in a terrible predicament and is heading along a path of catastrophe by man's own doing. There are environmental issues where toxins have polluted the land, the skies, and the water. The affect on the world's wildlife is severe. Animals are becoming extinct. That very same threat lies for mankind as well and not just from environmental issues. Man's errors run deep. The problem shows up in all facets and levels of society. The economical structure perpetuates the problem and social justice issues are rampant.

I could list off a myriad of countries' names and their issues. I do in my book and elsewhere and will continue to use examples of real life occurrences, and on the many levels the problems exist. I have come to the conclusion that regardless of the country, race, gender, etc., there is really simply a common thread among all the occurrences and that is it is all an issue of bullying and misuse of power.

To fully understand the issue of bullying and misuse of power and then to address it at the very roots of the problem is essential. I have written a feisty non-fiction book The Brutal Truth. I have also founded an organization to continue the work initiated. Both address the systemic problem that is threatening the well-being of society. The book's subtitle A personal expose of the corrupt and abusive Canadian Government and its legal system illustrates a good part of what my work entails. However although there is great focus on the Canadian government and its system I cannot overemphasize its significance for universal impact.

I suspect that the subtitle may come as quite a surprise to some for many people think Canada is so great and above the issues that I speak. Indeed Canada is sought out by many people as a place of refuge from countries that violate human rights so horrifically. I dare say Canada has quite a fade to its true identity although there certainly are things to be proud about Canada and being Canadian just as there are for other countries and their citizens. In fact there is the multiculturalism ideology within Canada that is "a celebration of/and respect for differences". Quite frankly I like different colours and flavours. It really should not be too surprising to find that I am a founding writer of the new Canadian Multicultural Journal. This Toronto-based community paper has a significant focus on pertinent issues and shares its roots with Hawarya (pronounced how are ya) with its origins as an Ethiopian community-based paper for the Greater Toronto Area.

Although I confront Canada on its shortcomings and stress for accountability and address to the abuse of power, I do also find that Canada to be the very likely place to do what needs to be done to help affect change not just within Canada but for the world. I believe Canada having its leadership held accountable and honourable is most warranted and conducive to helping other countries to get their leadership in check (or out as the case may be). Truly some great work can be achieved here. The solutions start with identifying the problem correctly, not sweeping it under the rug and denying it.

With full transparency I share my personal experiences within The Brutal Truth to illustrate how disgusting the Canadian Government and its legal system is. The behaviour is likened to gang rape and is legal fraud. The problem of bullying and misuse of power is perpetuated by the government and its legal system through its faulty laws and social norms. The problem needs to be addressed at this level. It requires a top down approach. This is what I do.

The Brutal Truth includes my experiences and details of the post traumatic stress disorder (brain damage) caused by the offenders - many whose very position was to protect me. My story is followed by others stories as what happened to me is not unique. In depth analysis of the phenomenon continues. The work identifies the complex problem by looking at the micro and macro and reflecting back and forth. Whether one is speaking of bullying whether it be in the schoolyard, via workplace harassment or the misuse of power from judges or lawyers, or otherwise, it is all much the same thing and how the issue is dealt with is the problem. Very much solution-based, there is great focus on the significance of the synergy of all. It is essential to be very loud and to being heard.

Making my negative life positive I go forward to help with the awakening. I need your help to help.where ever you are or whoever you are I welcome your support. I am looking for others stories for my second book as well as funding/sponsorship. Please visit thebrutaltruth.ca to find out more and to see how you might get involved. The shift is happening! Be strong. You can make a difference.
