Ever since man first ruled Earth men have fought for conquest of each others land, resources and power. This endless excessive testosterone conditioning and programming is almost impossible to overcome in a paternalist world that has rebuffed change from the beginning of mankind. However, every year the distaff side who gives birth to us all is gaining more clout for human rights, but it isn't enough. Fortunately there is one last string of hope left on the female goddess harp for peace.
Dear Ones,
We all can't envision this enlightenment yet because there is so much worldwide turmoil. However, the end of combat aggression is in sight, even though it is viewed through a telescope as far, far away. All good things are at last coming together for a better world through communication and diplomacy with the progress of democracy.
We are now witnessing laws enforced against condemned torture, that was especially rampant during the Crusades (meaning cross) and its torturous Inquisition that forbade free speech and thinking–death to the heathens, called infidels who didn't convert. Immaturity still rules mindset. Torture produces unreliable information and causes more insecurity, more wars and more deaths of people who are color-coded.
Progress is also seen through communication such as the world wide web. No longer can tyrannical dictator governments hide secrets now being exposed day by day. Sunshine Laws are beaming brightly and becoming more powerful as they are enforced for the benefit of us all.
President Obama has gone up–still another notch–in history as the liberator of Cuba, now with doors wide open for the flow and recognition of inherent human rights. It will be the young people who will take up his example and baton that sets us all free,
The present administration communicates with adversaries and is more advanced than the tainted previous one. This staff is brave enough to talk with the opposition. We must know what's the beef instead of floundering around in blind combat. We need to understand and respect other religions or cultures, even though we don't like their modus operandi. Without unbiased education and information about nations with diverse mores, ideologies and what makes them tick, we grope around in a black cloud of endless militant wars that never have been good.
And finally, Americans are now seeing "ir'selves" as other see us, in the words of that Scottish Highlander, Bobbie Burns. Our eyes have been opened to the fact that we have been blind to racism, that was concocted, invented and fabricated by a German who color-coded us into a snarling, vitriolic gang of rival, separated people in the late 1700s. Before, wars were merely fought because there were no alternative means of communication, other than army intelligence, an oxymoron.
Our founding fathers didn't want to give up their "colored" slaves, with black being code for slave. Thomas Jefferson inherited hundreds of people in bondage and thousands of plantation lands, that eventually left him in debt.
Other slave owners (excluding John Adams) who wrote the Constitution and human rights' Amendments hated British colonialism and its power. But England through Parliament had the wisdom to ban slavery in the 1830s without having to commit civil war.
Meanwhile, the US killed over 70,000 of their own men and women (400 disguised as soldiers and spys), as well as over a million horses, through bigotry. Slave quarters can still be seen in America in the North as well as the South.
Cyber interaction is now worldwide and has become a weapon to blackmail countries into submission. But this is not acceptable to the United states a well as the United Nations that believe in freedom of thought and mind–what brings happiness and joy to all people–instead of oppression, suppression and depression by cut-throat dictators and extremists.
We must never call cyber hacking as being a trigger to start futile wars. War mongers in the ranks of government salivate for military action that so far in the history of man has never solved any world problem. It only brings on greater atrocities as the greed for spoils of war even destroy precious world artifacts and historical landmarks that never an be replaced, any more than the tragic loss of young people lives, as well as innocent bystanders.
So instead of prayer circles, how about everyone circling the wagons and do something constructive to strive for peace. Make it happen! Encourage a Peace Defense Department instead of a War Defense Department, with the latter having no defense when it is still pumping out obsolete weapons of unlawful massive devastation and generational child-deforming munitions.
A War Department (its original title) by its very name must commit wars to succeed in a corporate war economy. A Peace Department and peace economy doesn't cost exorbitantly and doesn't cause every problem in Pandora Box, such as homeless refugees, floods, earthquakes and shell shock, now masked as a mere stress syndrome that mangle soldier's and veteran's minds so much that many soldiers (22 a day) commit suicide that in turn makes loved ones grieve the rest of their lives.
Getting back to world communication, cyber hackers are capable of shutting down entire governments. They are more dangerous than wars, as these advanced technicians can remove from the WWW, everything that humanity needs to survive on Earth–capitalized for respect.
History is not the archaic past. History is whenever, whatever happens. George W. Bush is already documented as the administration that illegally invaded, attacked and occupied Iraq and Afghanistan, now contaminated with generational baby-deforming munitions and toxic weapons in an ongoing aftermath.
What could be more serious than this? Human inherent rights are violated and breached through illegal tempering with technology that can lead to the largest dark-out age ever lived through by man (short for woman) on planet Earth.
