WHAT THE JUDGE DOES: NO MY YOB MAN

Start!!!!!!!!! If you...
  • Stand up for EVERYONE that enters or leaves the courtroom (NO ONE deserves more or less respect than another)...
  • Disobey their request for hours of undivided attention in the courtroom until your case is called (I'm not at liberty to give God's time demanded of me by Her for her tortured children)...
  • Refuse to willingly give them more than the 27 hours they've already taken from you (lockup)...
  • Refuse to cooperate with unjust jail time for their sinful Empirish behavior...

... THEY'LL LOCK YOU UP!!!!!!!! THEY'LL HURT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

No my yob man.
MY behavior is my yob.
THEIR behavior is THEIR yob.

"TO SIN BY SILENCE... MAKES COWARDS OF MEN." ABRAHAM LINCOLN

I sit here weeping as I scan into audio mp3 Carter's "Peace not Apartheid," not because the the scanning is so unpleasant, but because I am listening to the most wonderful Bill Moyer's program on Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring. Oh my God, to be such a Life.

At minute 35 there is the most incredible quote:

"To sin by silence
when they should protest
makes cowards out of men."
Abraham Lincoln

"LIFE" IS WORTH YOUR ENTIRE FUTURE

See "Blood Diamond" and think of the look on Leonardo's face at the end. He has nothing but joy; no regrets.

A moment of Life is worth a lifetime of pulse. More and more I see this. More and more I live this.

I live this not for the principle. I live this for the Joy / Love / Peace / Life.

HISTORY WILL BLAME US CITIZENS, NOT LEADERS

History will blame not Bush and crew, but the average US citizen for the atrocities waged by the US on the world; atrocities of:
  • Bombing
  • War
  • Extortion
  • Forced Starvation
  • Neglect

This is a land of 300 million yet we hide behind the fantasy that it is a nation of a handful of purported "leaders." The shame and blood is on the hands of we-the-people.

UNARMED PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE

UNARMED PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE: NONVIOLENCE BY A MUCH BETTER NAME!!!!!!

I remain horrified at how the "language" of people I respect throughout history CRIPPLES AND DISARMS US. I take it as a personal responsibility to attempt to discover infinitely more descriptive, TRUE, EMPOWERING ALTERNATIVES TO THE LIKES OF:
  • NONviolence. NON??!?!? Does "non" explain Jesus? King? Gandhi? NON?!?!??!?! Desecration. Unacceptable. We must do better.
  • Peace (the moon, because it is absent of Life has Peace). "He came not to give the peace of the world which is only that we don't bother each other. He came to give the Peace of heart which comes from loving - from doing good to others." Teresa of Calcutta.
  • Resistance (there is no victory / new order at the end of the word "resistance.") If our child were trapped under a car would we "resist?" WE'D LIFT THE DAMN THING, or die trying.
  • Etc....

THIS MORNING popped into my mind "UNARMED PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE."

  1. The "war" we despise is not only "armed" but ultimately, explicitly and entirely PSYCHOLOGICAL. The bombs are to "change the mind" of the "enemy."
  2. The alternative to armed warfare of oppression, that action waged by Empire that is destroying the planet? UNARMED PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE.

Yes this needs more work, but I think it is on a promising path. Comments?

CONSTRUCTIVELY FACING THREAT OF JAIL

Big deal! So I face the remote prospect of jail time for "refusing to obey a lawful order" at the Pentagon - Leafletting. Folks from the Plow Share's movement and others like them have spent years, 10's of years in jail! Yes, for leafletting at the Pentagon I maybe let off (as I was the first time in January) or at worst face months of jail. My body is quite upset at the idea of months in jail but my Spirit is fine, as long as it is the best use of my Life.

But, it is entirely my responsibility, my only responsibility in this, and in life more broadly to guide the use of my life as constructively as possible. Hence my musings in this post. Your comments would be valued as I discern what I am called to do.

THESE ARE MY CURRENT THOUGHTS (expanded below):
  1. My focus should not / MUST NOT be on making some "Legal" point or advance.
  2. My focus should be to offer an opportunity (no matter how remote) that MIGHT spur a dramatic MORAL CONVERSION within anyone touched by my action, now or in the future.
  3. My efforts should be to be a Brother providing an opportunity to a sibling (judge, onlookers) to "wake up" to their sub-humanity, and move to their birthright - HUMANITY (EMPIRE LICENSES SUB-HUMANITY ).
  4. I should take responsibility for how much risk (time in jail) / opportunity this Moral Opportunity presents and decide accordingly how much risk to take.

1. MY FOCUS SHOULD NOT / MUST NOT BE ON MAKING SOME "LEGAL" POINT OR ADVANCE.

  • There is no more time for the slow reformation of our "Legal" process. It is not my responsibility to block others from this pursuit, but it is my view that this path is too slow, when we just don't have the time. If I kill time, I kill people.
  • TO ENGAGE AN EVIL SYSTEM ON ITS TERMS IS TO LEGITIMIZE / EMPOWER, PARTICIPATE WITH THE SYSTEM. What purports to be a "Legal" system in this country is the opposite; it is patently a system to impose the will of the overprivelaged, or overprivelaged-wanna-bees on the poor and weak. It feeds off of cooperation. Gandhi was correct in asserting our moral duty to NOT cooperate with evil.

2. MY FOCUS SHOULD BE TO OFFER AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MORAL CONVERSION.

  • With Gandhi again I find agreement - Moral Conversion is the most difficult goal, and the most necessary for us to cling to. And even if all of us are not to cling to that goal, I feel that for my entire adult life this has been my goal; I am suited to it; I desire it; I find it worth my life, so at least, for me, this is the right goal.
  • WE ARE OUT OF TIME ON PLANT EARTH; THE TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW OR NEVER; THE CHANGE WE NEED IS A QUANTUM LEAP; MASS MORAL CONVERSION IS THAT LEAP. START LOVING IS CALLED TO ATTEMPT TO SPARK THAT QUANTUM LEAP.

3. My efforts should be to be a Brother providing an opportunity to a sibling (judge, onlookers) to "wake up" to their sub-humanity, and move to their birthright - HUMANITY (EMPIRE LICENSES SUB-HUMANITY).

IF I DECIDE THAT THIS OCT 12 COURT APPEARANCE IS WORTH IT:

  • MY ACTION SHOULD BE TO BE PRESENT AS A BROTHER OUT OF RESPECT AND CONCERN FOR HIS SISTERS AND BROTHERS (IN THE SYSTEM.) I WILL HAVE NO COUNSEL. I THINK JESUS MEANT IT WHEN HE SAID - DO NOT GO TO LAW. LAW IS SIMPLY SANCTIONED WARFARE - ONE PERSON "AGAINST" THE OTHER. IT IS NOT AN ACT OF LOVE OR SISTERHOOD; IT IS EVIL VIOLENCE.
  • I WILL "AGREE" WITH THEIR CHARGES THAT I DID WHAT THEY SAID - WENT ON THE SIDEWALK TO LEAFLET WHEN THEY SAID "NO."
  • I WILL LOVINGLY AND FIRMLY REFUSE TO AGREE WITH THEIR WORD "GUILTY" BECAUSE MY ACTION WAS EXACTLY TO AVOID BEING "GUILTY" OF VIOLATING OUR "MOTHER'S" / HUMANITY'S / HIGHER-LAW'S DEMANDS - "DO UNTO OTHERS ALL THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU." If I worked in the Pentagon, you bet I would want armies of sisters and brothers to leaflet no matter what to bring my attention to being the world's largest oil polluter / planet murderer.
  • IN DOING THIS (ABOVE) I WILL GIVE THEM A CHOICE (yes it is a choice they can and almost certainly will avoid "facing"): THE CHOICE BETWEEN TREATING ME AS I TREAT THEM - AS A HUMAN, AS A BROTHER / with HUMANITY; OR TREATING ME AS AN INANIMATE OBJECT - TRASH / IN-HUMANELY, AS IS THEIR HABIT. THIS IS THE MORAL CHOICE I WANT TO PRESENT THEM WITH. THIS IS THE MODEL JESUS PROVIDED, when He thought the time was right for him to make such a costly move.

4. I should take responsibility for how much risk (time in jail) vs opportunity this particular Moral Opportunity presents and decide accordingly how much risk to take. With two weeks to ponder this further, and hoping for input from you, my current, strongly held thought for weeks now is to proceed as outlined above, despite the wonderful input I have received to the contrary so far [take a lawyer, contest that the order was "lawful," cuz it "wasn't; it violates free speech! Will help us correct the legal system....]. Why?

Please tell me your thoughts, if you like; but feel not an ounce of pressure to do so. Start. See Comments below.

ps: Several hours after writing this post I saw Blood Diamond.

PERSONAL WEALTH IS MURDER

  1. The US "Dream" is ecologically unsupportable by many thousands of orders of magnitude. This is scientifically inarguable. Therefore...
  2. All Personal Wealth above that which IS sustanable is FORCED STARVATION, MURDER of people born and unborn on this planet.

EMPIRE LICENSES SUB-HUMANITY

  • An individual man would never murder dozens of innocents - but a Soldier does!
  • An individual woman would never take money from the poor - but a Business Woman does!
  • An individual man would never cheat and bully - but a Lawyer / Judge does!
  • Etc....
  • Etc....


This was a major discovery revealed in Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God is Within You (last 2 chapters first), the book that created Gandhi:

What the individual would never do,
gross inhumanity to another,
that same individual
IN THEIR
STATE / EMPIRE /
INSTITUTIONAL / SOCIAL ROLL
WILL ALWAYS DO,
AGAIN, AND AGAIN....

MEANING. VIKTOR FRANKL QUOTES

  • A human being is a deciding being.
  • Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
  • Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
  • Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.
  • Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.
  • Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.
  • Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
  • Fear may come true that which one is afraid of.
  • For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.
  • I recommend that the Statue of Liberty be supplemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the west coast.
  • Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.
  • Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
  • Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.
  • The last of human freedoms - the ability to chose one's attitude in a given set of circumstances.
  • Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked.
  • What is to give light must endure burning.
  • When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves.

EMPIRE ERADICATES MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANINGFULNESS

For too long we have been dreaming a dream from which we are now waking up: the dream that if we just improve the socioeconomic situation of people, everything will be okay, people will become happy.
The truth is that as the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged: survival for what? Ever more people today have the means to live, but
no meaning to live for.

EMPIRE, THE ULTIMATE THREAT, JESUS DIED FIGHTING.

What would you do if you clearly saw something, that if not stopped, would destroy all of humanity?

Empire, the Spirit of Empire (Stuff, Superiority, Systems-Institutions (False Idols)) is that ultimate threat.

Jesus saw that ultimate threat.

Jesus could not resist fighting Empire to his death.

You?

GOD IS LIVID; FURIOUS. WE ARE OBSCENE.

I can't imagine it any other way.

God must be Livid, Furious at we 1% in the world that control 80% of the world's resources, God given resources; control them FOR OUR OWN BENEFIT.

We control Her resources so WE CAN HAVE MORE WHILE 80% of Her children:

  • We Starve
  • We Exploit
  • We Oppress
  • We Abuse
  • We Bomb
  • We Extort
  • We Neglect

"[She who] would give light
must endure burning."

Eleanor Roosevelt


I suggest that this post is more of physics and physiology than of metaphysics or philosophy.

In brain surgery TARGETING is entirely crucial.

In saving the world / Iraq / Iran / Palestine / Congo / Cuba / Haiti / Darfur... TARGETING of our scarce energy is entirely crucial.

I submit to you that Nuclear Weapons / Bombing Iran / Darfur Genocide / Occupying Iraq / Bush / Katrina Neglect... are the SYMPTOMS, not the CANCER to be TARGETED.

The CANCER to be TARGETED
is the
SPIRIT of EMPIRE
in ourselves,
and that is devouring all Spirit of Humanity world-wide. The CLEANSING FIRE, THE SURGEON'S LASER BEAM TO BE AIMED WITH ENTIRE CARE, TO EMPYRE THE CANCER OF EMPIRE, IS
THE FIRE OF LOVE,
OF HUMANITY;

OUR HUMANITY.


I would EMPYRE Empire.
I would give Fire to the world,
a fire to entirely consume
Empire
leaving the world blazing
with the Fire of Sisterly
Love / Humanity.


Let's burn;
in time.


“Someday after mastering
winds, waves, tides and gravity,
we shall harness
the energies of love.
And then, for the
second time in the
history of the world,
man will discover
fire.”

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.


God willing I will have served my immediate purpose here at the Peace House and return to the 24 hour / day US Forces / Iran / Iraq Vigil at the Capitol Monday.

DARFUR VIGIL TERMINATED. EMPIRE DEFLATION BEGUN.

EMPIRE'S PRIMARY ATTACK POINT: LANGUAGE CORRUPTION

I'm coming to see that the (a?) primary means used by Empire to enslave the human being is to distort / corrupt / twist language. Examples:

  • LOVE twisted to mean LUST.
  • GOD AS LOVE LIFE TRUTH twisted to mean GOD AS STUFF, SUPERIORITY, SYSTEMS / INSTITUTIONS.
  • CHURCH twisted to mean CLUB.
  • GOD THE SPIRIT OF LOVE twisted to mean GOD EXCLUSIONARY BESTOWER OF INEQUITY.
  • PATRIOTISM twisted to mean OBEDIENCE.
  • LAW twisted to mean COMPLIANCE WITH ELITE INTERESTS.
  • RELIGION twisted to mean ROAD TO SUPERIORITY OVER OTHERS.
  • VOTE AS BALLOT twisted to mean VOTE AS $$$$
  • NATIONAL INTERESTS twisted to mean EXPLOITATION OF FOREIGNERS.
  • TERRORISTS twisted to mean THOSE THAT RESIST OPPRESSION.
  • FAIRNESS twisted to mean LICENSE TO STARVE THE ALREADY STARVING POOR.
  • CHRISTIAN twisted to mean HYPOCRITE PHARISEES.

}}}}}} CRUCIFIXION: ENTIRETY OF HUMANE LIFE {{{{

[This may be the most important insight of my life;
the most important chance to "save" my life, and yours.]

With 18-30,000 children dying PER DAY, all of Palestine's children in military torture prison 40 years now, American Empire taking Haiti as a slave plantation, 4.5 million left to die in concentration camps in Darfur...

WITH ALL OF THIS HAPPENING
BECA
USE OF OUR
OVER-PRIVILEGE-OF-THE-
FEW /
PERSONAL AGENTRY OF EMPIRE /
NON-WORLD-FAMILY /
SELFISHNESS /
DETACHMENT /
US "FAMILY VALUES"
(LICENCE TO ABANDON
6 BILLION OF OUR FAMILY)...

CRUCIFIXION IS THE ENTIRETY
OF AN "ALIVE," "SAVED,"
"HUMAN" PERSON'S LIFE.

This is the part that I saw, maybe 15 years back:
  • If you are not being crucified, you are not living Human or Christian.
  • If you ARE getting crucified, you MIGHT be living Humane, Christian.

!!!!!! THIS, BELOW, IS HOW IT IS /
HOW I NOW SEE IT CLEARLY !!!!!!

  1. MAYBE 1/2 OF THE HUMANE / CHRISTIAN LIFE IS PLACING OURSELVES BETWEEN "EMPIRE" (ALL THE FORCES OF DESTRUCTION (NOT-KINDOM)) AND THE VICTIMS (DARFURIES, US BLACKS / LATINOS, US POOR, HATIANS, PALESTINIANS, NEW ORLEANSEANS, ILLEGAL ALIENS (BUSH AND CHANEY); LEGAL ALIENS PERSECUTED (UNDOCUMENTED HISPANICS...).... (THIS IS THE PART I'VE SEEN AND EXPERIENCED FOR DECADES NOW. OUCH!!!!!)
  2. 100% OF THE WAKING"HUMAN" LIFE IS EXACTLY INVOLVED WITH CRUCIFIXION. IN TODAY'S FESTERING HELL-HOLE OF A WORLD, ANYTHING LESS IS NOT "CHRISTIAN." THIS I DIDN'T REALIZE!!!!
  3. [THIS I DIDN'T SEE AT ALL!!!!!] THE OTHER 1/2 OF THE "HUMANE" LIFE IS CRUCIFYING OTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!
    ARE YOU PERFECT? ME EITHER. THEREFORE, IF YOU ARE TRYING (POINT 1) YOU WILL ERR / SIN, AND IN ERRING YOU WILL CRUCIFY OTHERS (HURT, INSULT, MISLEAD, KILL, PERSECUTE, DISEMPOWER, OPPRESS...). NO, I AM NOT SAYING TO TRY TO CRUCIFY. I'M SAYING YOU MUST "OWN" YOUR INEVITABLE CRUCIFYING OF OTHERS.
  4. HOW TO "OWN" YOUR INEVITABLE CRUCIFYING OF OTHERS: HOW DO YOU MINIMIZE THE CHANCE OF GETTING ALL THREE NAILS AND THE SPEAR INTO JESUS BEFORE YOU STOP? ONLY ONE WAY. DEDICATE EVERY FIBER OF YOUR BEING, EVERY WAKING MOMENT TO LOVING THE LEAST OF THESE HER/HIS FAMILY. THAT WILL MAXIMIZE YOUR EMPATHY FOR EVERYONE BORN AND UNBORN.
    EXTREME EMPATHY / COMPASSION / FAMILYNESS / CONNECTEDNESS / WORLD-FAMILYNESS / MILITANT LOVING... WILL BE YOUR EARLY WARNING SYSTEM. HOW?!?!?!? YOU WILL FEEL YOUR VICTIM'S PAIN EVEN BEFORE YOUR HAMMER HITS THE NAIL INTO HER HAND. AND INSTEAD OF AGAIN CRUCIFYING CHRIST, YOU WILL CRUCIFY YOURSELF!!!!! Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero said the “Violence of Love … left Christ nailed to a cross; it is the violence we must each do to ourselves to overcome our selfishness and the cruel inequalities among us. It is not the violence of the sword, the violence of hatred, it is the violence of brotherhood, the violence that will beat weapons into sickles for peaceful work.”

NOW THAT YOU "SEE,"
NOW YOU ARE "RESPONSIBLE,"
NOW YOU MUST DO.

Vinoba Bhave

(Buddhist &
Gandhi protege):


"I believe in Jesus Christ, but do not believe in circumscribing him within strictly sectarian or theological walls. To me Jesus was something far beyond any individual phenomenon. [Jesus] was Love and Compassion incarnate. We can carry his message to the people by serving them with love, mercy and compassion in our hearts. That message will spread despite you and me, because it is the innermost cry of the human heart."

"Ditto." Start Loving


JESUS IS MY HERO, WHO I ADORE. NO MORE. NO LESS.

My only hero? Oh my God, I have so many - Phil Berrigan, Dave Dellinger, Diane Wilson, Gandhi, King, Bev, Joan of Arc, Rosa Parks, Mandela, young Tim Phiri, Thomas, Connie, Ellen, DIANE, Ann, Gael, Assisi, Eleanor R, Teresa of Calcutta, Col Ann Wright, MR, Buddha, Liz MacAlister, .... and so many others like these.

But Jesus is my greatest hero. Jesus is my greatest Love. Jesus is my greatest example.

Is He God? I don't know, and neither do you. And, like Gandhi, I couldn't care less. He is my brother. He loved us more than anyone ever has. He died to give us the example of how to Live. I want with all of my being to be like Him, for you, for your children, for their children....

EMPIRE OR KINDOM. ONE OR THE OTHER YOU HAVE CHOSEN.

THERE IS NO MORE IMPORTANT POST ON THIS SITE.

The human has no other choice. You inhabit the mental state of Empire (Superiority / Stuff / Systems & Institutions) or Kindom / Humanity (Soul, Solidarity, Service). THERE IS NO THIRD OPTION PHYSIOLOGICALLY / PSYCHOLOGICALLY POSSIBLE.
Dr. M.L. King tried to think - if I want to be "good" how can I understand what that means a bit more concretely, SO I CAN MORE DELIBERATELY FOCUS MY ENERGY / LIFE ON BEING GOOD? The following is a slight embellishment of what he conceived. He conceived that there are three dimensions of goodness and that we can deliberately and consciously choose to push ourselves, our energy and attention, further and further along each of the three dimensions and thereby become more and more of the Spirit / Goodness / Humaneness, and more and more inhabit our Mother's Kindom (Spirit of Kin-dom / world-family / Humanity). With just a few moments of contemplation you will see the fundamental Truth of this.


But being week on these dimensions does not explain a George Bush, Dick Cheney or Adolph Hitler. Hence the alternate realm / way of "being" - Empire. Empire is a function of the three dimensions of "being" opposite to those of Goodness available to the human psyche - Stuff, Superiority, Systems/Institutions. The Third Reich of Nazi Germany and those supporting it might be the easiest image for you to grasp this concept. For some of you Fascist US 2007 and those of us supporting it might be even easier.


If you are looking for me to prove this beyond my directing you to search your own experience and heart... good luck. But if you do search your experience and heart, again you will find the fundamental psychological Truth of which your life, and that of everyone you know is the proof.

I wish I had time to explore this further with you. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU EXPLORE IT FURTHER ON YOUR OWN, WITHIN YOURSELF. Do it until the point of rejection, or SELF EMPOWERMENT.


(see graphic below)














With this I try to give you a picture of where those
we both know of reside - within which Realm of Being, and how fully and completely within the realm. It is of course a broad picture.

}}}}}}} WORLD'S GREAT PEACEMAKING ESSAY {{{{{{{

Anyone that can't stand the suffering in this world any longer must read everything at the site Peace and Nonviolence (Quotations from), NOW.

But at that site this is the single greatest, most important, most enlightening piece on ERADICATING EMPIRE (IN OURSELVES AND IN THE WORLD) THAT EVER I HAVE READ [SORRY JESUS :-) ]:


And although this second one is much, much, much trickier to understand when all of the Life Giving Truth from the Spiritual greats has been corrupted and distorted completely by Empire (since Constantine), this essay to is a must read:

"HEY START, I'M JUST NOT THERE YET."

Hmmmmm. How convenient for you. Just as convienient as it has been for me for most of the last 56 years. I'm sure that pleased for us both are:
  • 18,000 children starving to death per day,
  • US Soldiers being destroyed daily,
  • 4 million Iraquis in prison-like conditions,
  • Millions of Iranians about to be carpet bombed,
  • The soul of the US going to Empire beyond the point of redemption,
  • 3 million Darfuries dying of your neglect in Concentration camps....

Let's take our time. Let's take our time. Let's act with huge courrage and compasstion when it is COMFORTABLE FOR US.

My experience these recent days is one of being deluged with final Revelations. It is way overwhelming. And I perceive that there may be just a few days before I have to leave. Today, 9/7/07 I'm looking at more than 30 posts that have started and need completion.

THESE SEPTEMBER POSTS ARE NOT LIKELY TO BE NEAT AND TIDY!!!!!!

THESE SEPTEMBER POSTS ARE THE CULMINATION OF A LIFETIME OF SEEKING!!!!!

THEY ARE WORTH THE EFFORT BUT ONLY YOUR MOST COURAGEOUS, HIGHEST, MOST WISE AND HUMANE SPIRIT WILL MAKE ANY SENSE OF THEM.

If I had the time I would drive all of these September Revelations back in to the 600 plus older posts and GLOSSARY!!!!!!!!!!!

To "RESIST" is to CONCEDE DEFEAT. GOD FORGIVE US.

I just figured out after 14 months why I am so unwelcome in what calls itself the peace movement (with the exception of Diane, Ann, Gael, Thomas, Ellen, Evan, Connie, some other Code Pinkers...)

Every cell in my body, every molecule, every atom stands for the entire DESTRUCTION OF EMPIRE (NEVER"The" Empire).

Most of the wretchedly self called "Peace Movement" HAS ALREADY CONCEDED DEFEAT. The proof:

  1. The Peace Movement is NOT fighting for Victory to their (own) death, and the Military / Industrial / Governmental / Economic Elite Complex IS.
  2. Look at the language!!!!! Implicit in the language is defeat, failure, concession of victory: Nonviolence, Peace (only dead things like rocks have it), RESISTANCE....

My clarity that even the most sacrificial have conceeded victory came at a recent gathering of Heroes from the Catholic Worker Movement. I asked the Saint speaking to us, veteran of 17 years prison for jack-hammering a misile silo, if Jesus intended us to "resist" or "win." "Resist" was his answer and that in the act of "resistance" we win. I am certain in my every molocule he is incorrect. Jesus absolutely saw we could win, defeat Empire within ourselves and all around the world. He died in the attempt. We've yet to follow him in fighting to the death. It was shocking to me this reply by the Saint because earlier he said that the three greatest people in history were Jesus, Gandhi, and King.

INDESPUTABLY King and Gandhi:
1. Fought to their death WIN;
2. Believed that winning world-wide was possible.

Why haven't we WON?
Because we don't follow
Jesus, King and Gandhi -
WE DON'T FIGHT
TO OUR DEATH
TO WIN.

God save our children
from our cowardice.

WHAT TO DO IN THE CASE OF CASUALTIES. THIS IS WAR.

"If men are not willing to practice the way of non-violence with the same kind of commitment and recklessness of cost or con­sequences as they practice the way of war and as Communists work for Communism, clearly non-violence will not work." A J Muste
"Peace is the way." A.J. Muste

What to do in the case of casualties? Think of what the most mutually committed marine unit does in the middle of a fight to the death:
  1. They keep their eye on the mission and allow NO DISTRACTION.
  2. They risk their lives beyond that to support their comrade.

#1 first! #2 when possible.

To sacrifice Mission, #1,
to help a casualty,
is to render the casualty
MEANINGLESS.
NOTHING COULD BE
MORE CRUEL.

THERE IS A "HIGHER LAW"

If there is any conceivable circumstance in which the most human, law abiding "citizen" could and would disobey "the law," THAT is absolute Proof / Truth that there IS a HIGHER LAW.

The sheer existence of Gandhi, King, Jesus, Lincoln, Buddha, Mandela, Maguire, Diane Wilson, Phil Berrigan, Dave Dellinger, Schweitzer, Bonhoeffer... is ABSOLUTE PROOF OF A HIGHER LAW.

Where is this Higher Law written? It is obvious. In the human heart / nervous system / DNA. And until we are completely inhuman, that Higher Law is what can save us from this Planetary Hell we've created.

The Higher Law is almost synonymous with the psychological complex - Conscience, Heart, Love (Agape), Compassion, Empathy, Wisdom....

"I will admit
but one tyrant in my life;
the Still, Small Voice Within."
Gandhi

NECESSITY TO NON-SUBORDINATE TO EMPIRE "LAW"

It is entirely necessary to not cooperate with the sentence of Empire Law when it inflicts gross penalty against Kindom Law - of God / Good / What is Right...

MORE INSIGHTFULLY - such non cooperation including refusal of self defense (legal or brutal physical attacks), mobility (walking), eating and water gives the sisters and brothers of the system, and all onlookers huge evidence of how evil Empire is. Think of the crucifixion of Jesus.
