The will of the people, on war and human rights, placed in conflict.

     War is, perhaps, the most vile and horrific of all the elements that encompass the human condition. The state of being "at war", by most any current definition, violates the natural rights on one, both or all of the peoples that are the citizens of each of the "sides". If war were fought only by voluntary combatants there would be only the violation of the expenditure of resources against those that would not want war. War fought by the existing rules of engagement is a war crime or crimes against humanity. Draft, conscription and compulsory service are crimes. Requiring the people that would deny war to pay for war is a crime. Bombing that results in "collateral damage" is a crime. The use of the national resources are crimes against pacifist that work to enable the war effort even if only thru taxation. Bombing the infrastructure of the "enemy's country" is a crime against the population. War is a crime against humanity when unexploded ordinance kills a noncombatant, sometimes a child. War is the use of toxic compounds, nuclear weaponry and biological warfare, each in itself a crime against ALL humanity. Economic sanctions kill the people that make up the most marginalized of that countries citizens. Can you, in good faith, condone war when these are the reality's of war? I can't and will not allow war to become the normal state of affairs. Will you?

There exists in pop cultural an an awareness of revolution and the causes of social unrest.

     Gill Scott-Heron wrote this poem/song and first recorded it in 1970. Amazingly current even now. It has been preformed by many artists and been used in movies repeatedly. It is perhaps one of the top 10 political compositions of all time.




"You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.

Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be right back after a message
bbout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live."


     Can you feel the pain of the downtrodden and repressed? I can and do brother…...

Can you hear the war coming? Can you see the specter of death? Can you see the costs?

     WAR! Can you see the reality of what is the cost of war? Can you see the misery, fighting, death, dead children, famine, disease, amputees, Depleted Uranium Rounds, moral ambiguity, cripples, suffering, screaming, land laid waste, dead soldiers, dead civilians, dead women, dead children, depression, waste, greed, inhumanity, bombs, beggars, fraud, post traumatic stress disorder collateral damage, economic collapse, theft, acceptable losses, body count, looters, starvation, malnutrition, widows, widowers, children without parents, secrecy, dead brothers, dead sisters, poisoned land, dead livestock, hoards of homeless, displaced peoples, riots, demonstrations, anti-war rallies, bullets, looting, thieves, refugees, lies, rotting corpse, plague, needless cruelty, nightmares, shell shock, prejudice, the living dead and the atrocities.
     HELL ON EARTH. DO YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THIS? THEN WORK TO STOP IT.

We, the people of the United States of America, are NOT the enemy.

    My Daddy use to say,"If you are treated a certain way long enough, you will become that which is projected upon you" took me a very long time to truly understand the full meaning and implication of this statement. If a person is accused of being a thief long enough they will most likely start stealing. probably from you. If your significant other accuses you of cheating and you're not then you just might start. I mean if it's assumed all the time why not? And you know what else is a good possibility? They are doing just what it is that they are accusing you of doing for some reason, guilt, to keep you off balance or maybe they want to get caught. Maybe they're just plain nuts!
      The American government is treating the world, it's own citizens included, like the enemy. Am I the enemy? Are a vast majority of muslims the enemy? Are communists the enemy? Are socialists the enemy? Are you the enemy? I didn't think so. So why are we being treated like the enemy? Why would the government then treat so many people like the enemy? Well like my Daddy used to say "most people that are accusing you of something you are not doing are doing it themselves, unless their just plain nuts." So i suggest that since "WE" are not the enemy then, by by corollary, "THEY" must be the enemy. We just haven't figured it out as a whole, sure some of us have been thing this for a while but not as a whole. So there it is, the real reason that the government of Amerika is treating the World like the enemy. Are you mad yet?    READ - THINK - ACT

Time is, or rather has, become a scares commodity.

It is 2012 and the elections are looming up ahead. Faster and faster they approach us, pondering massively towards they final day when we the people will chose who will be our next President. Or will we? Will we get the choices we desire? Will the candidate of our choice even make it to the ballot? Will you even vote I wonder. Do you feel that there has been in some way a fraud perpetrated upon the American citizen? What do you think should be done to correct this, if indeed it has occurred? What are you willing to do, risk or not to make your voice heard? Will you speak out against these wanton acts of treason? will you protest in a demonstration or march? Will you risk your job and financial security to make yourself heard? How many people do you know that will risk as much as you will, or more? Just how much are you willing to endure in losses of freedom to guaranty your security? Will you rat out good honest people to a fascist regime to keep your security? Will you bear false witness against your fellow man to retain some of that security and privilege? Will you kill an innocent person to stay safe if even for a moment? How low will you go to protect yourself, family and friends when the situation becomes so horribly distorted? What will it take for you to stand up and rise against tyranny in it's inglorious, twisted rise to total domination? Will the legacy that you leave for your children be a totalitarian regime that enslaves the minds and souls. Will you stand up this in July for a 1 week shutdown of this country, starting the 4th to express your dissatisfaction with the system? I will and most of my friends will? Stand beside us in solidarity, for a free United States of America.

Of Commies, Fascist, Liberals and Conservatives.

     Do you understand the difference between the different political views? Want does a communist believe? How about a Socialist? What, you think that they are one in the same? Are Fascists and conservatives like the Hatfield's and McCoy's or are they more like cousins? How about Socialists and Liberals, they're the same, right? If any of these questions caused you to pause and think you don't know your political types very well.

    Communist
a : a theory advocating elimination of private property

b : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed

     COMMUNIST

a : a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

b : a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production

c : a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably

d : communist systems collectively

     Socialism

any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property

b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

     Capitalist - note that capitalism is an economic system not a political ideology 

 an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market

      Fascism

often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

 a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

      Constitutional Republic 

is a state in which the head of state and other officials are representatives of the people and must govern according to existing constitutional law that limits the government's power over all of its citizens. Because the head of the state is elected, it is a republic and not a monarchy.

In a constitutional republic, executive, legislative, and judicial powers are separated into distinct branches

The United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. The terms Liberal and Conservative are used to label the political tendencies or a party. Note this is a relative term, for example the Democrats of the civil war era were in favor of slavery and the Republicans were opposed.

     The Marxist theory states the communism is the result of socialism which is in it self a result on capitalism. Yet others fault the "contradictions of capitalism" or the inevitable concentration of capital (money and other resources) and power into the hands or an ever smaller group of individuals.

     NAZI is the short form of National Socialist party. So not so Right wing as It would appear.

     There are so many misconceptions about politics and political philosophy that you have to invest some time and peruse quality sources to get both oars in the water and start to make the kind of changes required to move your country towards what it is you really want AND how it is accomplished. There will be more on these subjects in the future.

"When in the life of men it become necessary to stand up and be noticed and make an accounting for the grievous deeds of their governments, I ask, will you stand?"

     At what point does it become necessary, no required, to stand up and demand that the Government be held accountable for their actions which have become treasonous? We have reached a point of great concern, contention and possibly conflict. The government has empowered itself in a manner that was not only forewarned by our founding fathers but designed against, in their construction of the core legislation that this great country was built upon. When in the fullness of time it becomes possible to see for yourself the staggering implications that the NDAA represent will you stand up and denounce it? Demand that it be struck down for the very evilness that it is? Of rather will you let it stand, an instrument of repression, out of fear or weakness on the basis that, "well, it doesn't affect me I am doing nothing wrong", or some other rationalized, gutless or traitorous and twisted "logic". Will thy have to come in the night and take your loved ones away as part of some plot to force some distant relative who spoke out against their tyranny? Where will you draw the line? Will the abuses have to escalate for you to stand up and if so then how high? How about the death of the people of another country? The non-combatants deaths are of no consequence to you? If you said that is where you would draw the line, well you're too late as this is already happening in the wars that the media tells us and other "black wars". Will you finally stand up when your parents are taken or haw about your children? Will you stand up and take control of the situation or will you allow yourself to be herded into a shower, one with no water?
