Saying Nothing At All

Watching Face The Nation, this morning, Bob Schieffer interviews Rahm Emanuel, the USA's upcoming Chief of Staff. Bob made a very interesting statement at the close of this morning's program. I wish I could quote him, verbatim, but... being exact is for the sake of argument, yes? Often, it is the essence that is important to remember... and the thought that Bob imparted, this morning, was this: ... 'sometimes saying nothing at all is the best way to communicate'... I couldn't agree more. We have to know when to speak and when to be silent to keep the proper energy moving. It's, sometimes, a hard pill to swallow, but it works. I've been practicing for years, but have failed to perfect it... but... I'm getting much better.

What would happen?

What would happen.........if you found a sand castle on the moon?

American Prayer-Dave Stewart




I hope this will not offend anyone, but you know... this is what many of us... who still have Hope... are feeling, today.

This is about rising back up from the ashes... because if we are lame and crippled, then we are of no use to anyone. Not to ourselves, or to the rest of the world.

I hope you can feel the spirit of this song.

Letter to America

Dear Bastard Offspring,

I know, I know, I haven't written to you in an age and the age of man moves so damn swiftly doesn't it? They say that time flies like a New York minute when you are having fun.

I just wanted to say, to let you know, that I love you. I love all of my offspring. Your sibling brothers and sister and mixed blood cousins. But I also love you.

Canuck, dare I say it, is even bigger than you but has never attained or made his mark in our global society quite the way you have, but then again who has?


Oz? Ha! What can you say about dear old Oz? Nothing bruises that boys ego and besides he does what he does and doesn't give a damn what any of us think, just stick another steak on the barbie!

Kiwi? Ah, so beautiful and, to be honest my dear, more like me in looks than any of my rugged boys.

Yes, I am very proud of all my offspring.

But you my son, with your muscle and your might, with your industrious mind and the enormous wealth that you have accrued, it is you that worries me. Just a tad.

I watch you with such pride as you swagger about the globe like a comic book hero in your gaudy red, white and blue, fixing this and righting that. Sometimes your heart is too big and, as much as you try, even you cannot fix all of the global families woes.

There is another side of you though that frightens me and like any good parent or friend, I feel it is my honour bound duty to let you know.

Sometimes you behave like a school yard bully.

You come across someone who doesn't do things the way you do and, without consulting any of us or going through the proper channels you go ahead and let that passionate heart of yours rule your head. You raise your big ham of a fist and smack it firmly on Johnny Foreigners face. You kick his arse from here to hell and back.

Son, violence is sometimes necessary when defending yourself or those you love but breaking into someone’s house, smashing and burning their furniture, breaking the arms and legs of their children is not an act of defense but that of a vandal.

Of a hoodlum.

I really do think enough is enough don't you?

You have left your footprint on the surface of the moon. A testament to your everlasting and greatest achievement. Do not leave your boot print on the face of Iraq.

Being the biggest and the best means that your mistakes can be proportionately as large. We all make mistakes and we all have to own up to them. I have. Remember the poor old Boers?
As I said, we all are guilty of making mistakes but we all have to know when to stop and when to put things right before they get worse.

Only you can decide.

Your loving parent
,

Albion

It's the Truth

The truth has nothing to do......................with what you believe.

The real terrorists

Everything I say.......is a lie.......Oberon.

In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together.
...........Dwight D. Eisenhower...........

American policies are being driven by the military-industrial complex President Eisenhower warned us about......corporate influence steers this ship of state......but I have faith that we have started the journey of change with our votes yesterday. A world of change will come when we realize the truth......we are all slaves to the armament-energy-banking-pharma-terrorists.

Yes.......there are other terrorists too, those who would attempt to change the world by throwing bombs......but that is not change, that is only destruction.....they are just as culpable as those who wreak destruction through power and money.

Terrorism is the war of the poor......and war is the terrorism of the rich.......Sir Peter Ustinov.




“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”



Martin Luther King, Jr.

Letter to Congress

A letter to congress........(sent one year ago)

Thanks to such documentary films as "Sicko" and "Maxed Out" the American people are starting to realize that the "Corporate Overlords", consisting of the Insurance Industry, Pharmaceutical Industries, HMO's, Banking and Credit Institutions, Petroleum and Gas Producers, Mortgage Lenders, Energy Brokers, with corporations such as Citibank, General Electric, American Intl. Group, Bank of America, HSBC Group, ExxonMobil, RoyalDutch/Shell, BP, ING Group, are and have been systematically and with coldhearted calculations, enslaving the American public and the worlds' people in an economic brutality that unbridled, influence peddling corporations could only have produced with the help of our elected officials. Every member of congress is duty bound to the voting public that elected them, not the lobbyists buying "favors" for cash or comfortable jobs in the "private sector". Whom do you serve, the people or the single-minded uncaring entities we call corporations? It is clear that "K Street" has made the hopes and dreams of the global corporate giants come true, and it is the "bought and paid for" congress that has betrayed the American public. As Thomas Jefferson put it, "when the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty". Today we have an economic tyranny, our government is ruled by corporations and it is congress and the president who are culpable. Be afraid, be very afraid, the winds of change are blowing, and they will sweep the traitorous from our midst, and we shall have liberty. We will VOTE. The ballot box is our weapon against this treachery. "It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped"-Hubert H. Humphrey. Tell congress to Pass H.R.676 Now, and support "PublicCampaign.Org". The writer of this piece is the author of the weblog "Lettuce Prey Four Whirled Peas", and is not afraid. "Don't Tread on Me".

As I look back at this letter to congress, I now realize my most glaring omission was not to include the multitude of armament manufacturers and defense contractors which I believe hold great sway over our, and the rest of the worlds' governments.

AMAZING DAY

Democracy?


Democracy! How can a choice between two political parties, neither of which truly represents the people be a democracy?

Nothing will change, the fat cats will get fatter, and the oil companies richer and atrocities will still be carried out world wide in our name. Capitalism needs the underdog, needs peaks and troughs and a democratic change of leadership is simply a distraction from the price of oil, food, and housing.

Obama will no doubt now be blamed for the global slump in the economy, just as Gordon Brown is blamed here in the UK, he will not be able to change anything because capitalism is too entrenched world wide, too many rich and powerful people have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

This can be heaven or this can be hell and capitalism with it’s constant majority of losers makes our beautiful world hell for too many people, innocents are brow beaten into conforming to a regime that will only serve them as an undermined, underpaid often confused member of the peasantry.

To accept democracy as anything other than an illusion and capitalism as a necessary and unchangeable way of life is to accept defeat, for us, for our planet and for our children. The planet, our mother earth will continue to be raped and pillaged in the name of capitalism and innocents will continue to be murdered in the name of democracy.

We must begin to think, theorise, debate and develop new ways that the world can be led, we need a brighter future than the one offered by capitalism, a fairer future, with peace, people allowed and encouraged to think and be responsible for themselves. It’s easy to hunker down and declare that nothing can change, but they can be because all things change.

Democracy, as we know it is just a way of bolstering and backing capitalism, there is enough of everything to go around, we could all share and still have surplus, but to begin we must be open minded, honest with ourselves and to dare think for ourselves and not be scared to communicate our thoughts.

A lot to ask? Perhaps we have to begin somewhere though and a deeper and more realistic look at the political and monetary system we are all living under seems a good place to start, otherwise I will always be banging my head against those two walls democracy and capitalism and I have a head ache already!

Thank you America


VoteVoteVoteVoteVoteVoteVoteVoteVote

For real change in the White House, don't vote for the old vanilla guy. The United States of America has 219 years of old vanilla guys, 43 old vanilla guys to be exact, and enough is enough. Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton (and me), the U.S. wasn't ready for a vanilla broads--yet--(we broads didn't get the right to vote until 1920) so give the chocolate guy a chance. Vote Obama.

Why I Vote

I vote for...........Peace
Politics is about, or should be, policy. I like Obama. He seems 'real': of the people somehow and very charismatic but you need more than charisma to lead America away from its need for greed. Obama is sadly lacking any policies and that worries the hell out of me.
The other fellow, short man with white hair, what's his name? McKain? Another republican with a moral standing. More Christian men misinterpretting god's (G) logic. As though you could shackle something so wonderous to something so trivial as mans primitive logic.
Gods help us all. God help America.

Just chew it


Only two levels



There are only two levels above death.

Acceptance........and........sharing.



conscious w/o awareness?

I wonder if consciousness is al-one
but awareness must (at least)
share a time and place?
(location ~ duration)
Anything compared is shared?
Does that place consciousness

Prisoner of War

I am a........prisoner of war.......you too.......are a prisoner of war.

Racism.......poverty.......and war........what a waste of time.........think what we could do with all the money we've spent on bombs and guns and bullets and tanks and rockets and plutonium and aircraft and warships and submarines and torpedoes and mines and flamethrowers and grenades and cannons and bayonets and bare hands and..........flesh.

When I stated that we will be better off when we finally put an end to all war forever.......a friend of mine said......"that would be impossible"...........I remember thinking.........I don't believe that.

trust as human

What we call human nature . . takes advantage of nature . .
Humans are in debt to nature . . and must pay respect.

The proof (or profit) of nature is awareness . .
Human nature is a job . . to pay the educational loans . .
Appreciation . . could be the most natural trend . .
if we achieve that choice . . to change credit rights . .
How frustration is remembered . . has discouragement, as judgment . .
so when things come to worse ! ! we make rules . .
But breaking the . . habit is creative support . . to respect gains trust.

HONESTY IS TOO RADICAL for prose!
Truth rings like music, or just poetry . .
individual style varies in degree to acceptance . .
in equality, understanding relaxes from thoughts . .
honesty as a meditation exercise . .
so it doesn't have to make sense . . yet . .
human evaluation is encouraging . . as supportive tribute
