Conclusions On a Dying World

Excerpts Thereof from "Onward Christian Soldiers":

     

       The world in the 21st century has now grown dark and sinister, as if sitting on the edge of a precipice looking down at an eternity of wars beyond comprehension, one after another, that will eventually drown it in a pool of its own demise. Be very wary, of the U.S.A.'s foreign policy that seeks to un-dermine any stability in the Middle East by enshrouding itself in Israel. This foreign policy has been at the heart of almost all the turmoil the world has seen, since the end of the last World War and the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 1947. Its very first Coup D'état happened under its first administrator Allen Dulles, who orchestrated the takeover, with the inside help of Kermit Roosevelt Jr., that ended the very popular legal election and rule of Iran's 35th Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953. "In 2013, the US government formally acknowledged its role in the coup as being a part of its foreign policy initiatives, including paying protestors and bribing officials." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad Mosaddegh. Oil is to gold, as gold is the standard to money, and it can be seen as the modern day "root of all evil" in how it destroys the goodness and relevancy of a revered leader like Mosaddegh, that has consequently brought Iran to become a Theocracy and a fierce opponent and critic of the United States. This is what you get, when you have a thirsty unscrupulous corporate conglomerate of resource hungry owners, who put their own selfish interests above the well being of the vast majority of the citizens of the countries they raid. From there you can go directly from oil to bananas in the 1954 Guatemalan Coup d'état in which, "The Guatemalan Revolution of 1944–54 overthrew the U.S.A. backed dictator Jorge Ubico, and finally brought a democratically elected government to power. The government began an ambitious agrarian reform program attempting to grant land to millions of landless peasants. This program threatened the land holdings of the United Fruit Company, who lobbied for a coup by portraying these reforms as communist," as quoted from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA. What is the world coming to, when nations cannot be allowed to fulfill the wishes of their own citizens?

       This has been a great part of the legacy of the United State's foreign policy ever since the beginning of the 20th century, as foretold by the illus-trious Marine General Smedley Darlington Butler in "War is a Racket". If you follow the many nefarious and illegal actions by international standards, brought on by the CIA over the course of the last 76 years since its conception, you will find that this part of national security operates outside the boundaries of laws, and if the USA is ever to be respected again and truly admired, it must finally abolish the CIA entirely, along with national security apparatuses that operate similarly. If we in the USA want to be respected in the future by any measure of decency, we must begin to operate honorably within the bounds of the pivotal next step in global democracy, the "United Nations" without its gerrymandered security council. To illustrate how disastrous our foreign policy has become, we have encouraged nations like Israel to emulate us, in which they have not ever been held accountable for their horrendous and mostly illegal colonization of Palestine. Gideon Levy in a video recently released called, "How Israelis live so easily with Occupation," states three premises for this cavalier behavior that make Israelites feel comfortable in their own skin. The Biblical legal impunity with which the Jewish Zionists sanctify their lives and behavior is A) They belief they are the chosen people of God and therefore they can do whatever they want, as exemplified by Golda Meir in her denial of the existence of Palestinians, and their continued forceful bulldozing method of the unjust and cruel removal of these Palestinians from their homes and lands, and when this was completed she stated innocently, "How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to." Golda Meir had no problem killing Palestinians, as revealed by Taghrid Al-Mawed who runs the Palestinian Refugee Project. B) Israel believes it is the victim, (as portrayed by the Holocaust) and the only victim, to which I say they believe they have no obligation to address any of the wrongs they have done under the ruthless walled off Apartheid regime they have created, that discriminates and violates almost all human rights whatsoever against their neighbor Palestinians, and calls any type of criticism against them in any way an act of Anti-Semitism. C) They believe they are superior to Palestinians, and as Mr. Levy referenced "almost no one in Israel treats Palestinians as equal human beings", leading to a lack of empathy and understanding of their plight, and thus see them as no more than animals that have very little if any rights. This is not the enlightened view that the majority of people in the world today hold to be true, which is to have a shared equality with all human beings. With this latest atrocities of genocide committed against the Palestinians, especially in the Gaza Strip, I believe the world can now clearly see what Israel's Zionists true intent was all along, to be a rapacious colonizer without pity, or remorse whatsoever, for those unfortunate to get in their way. If living with more than 75 years under the U.S umbrella, and 300 billion plus dollars of our foreign aid is not enough for Israel to mend their ways, then America must immediately stop the unjust aid that buys bombs to kill mostly women and children, and flatten almost the entire area of Gaza.

       When I say a "Dying World", it is meant to conjure up the image that is found, when controlling forces manipulate and direct a world to their advantage, by mostly using the deeply destructive confrontational means of war, in which there usually is only one victor; the money that manipulates it. The United States is the leading component for this manipulating force that seeks to have a controlling hegemony in its image. The claims of defending our nation in the name of Democracy is ludicrous beyond all bounds and indefensible, because it uses the word "Freedom" as a blank check to do whatever it wants, or intends to be, which most always leaves the rest of the world in confusion, along with most of its own citizens. Folks you have been misled, as Smedley Butler would have said almost a hundred years ago. "American imperialism is the expansion of American political, economic, cultural, media and military influence beyond the boundaries of the United States. Depending on the commentator, it may include imperialism through outright military conquest; gunboat diplomacy; unequal treaties; subsidization of preferred factions; regime change; or economic penetration through private companies, potentially followed by diplomatic or forceful intervention when those interests are threatened," from Wikipedia "American Imperialism." In reality, the U.S. should quit trying to drown itself in debt by trying to conquer the world, and let the rest of the world determine its own fate, where regions of governance are determined by the wishes of the majority of their people. Almost all Democracies and other structures of governance, can now be manipulated by the controlling members of their society, because of the hierarchal structure in which they are formed, and if war is to be a continual threat to the stability to form good relationships between governments, then nations must learn to truly abide by a general council in which they all are equal. I believe in the near future, the world will change drastically, as it learns new ways of cohesion through real collaborative goodwill, but first may have to slowly tear itself apart to become more regional, with less need for frictional confrontation. This may very well happen, if just as General Smedley D. Butler proposed so long ago, the U.S. really needs to only protect its borders, but I think its hemisphere also, to play fair with the world again; like before American Capitalism decided to go global and enslave the world to its economics. When people are able to move away from an unbending and restrictive past, they will learn how to converse together, and make decisions that are based upon all their desires.

       William Jennings Bryan was known as, "the Great Commoner" who was a Progressive Democrat from Nebraska with uncommon oratorical skills that became famous for his original stumping for office, mostly on his theme of Anti-American Imperialism he found so destructive and unjust after he had served in the Spanish-American War in 1898 Cuba. That period has been recognized as the beginning of American Imperialism with the 1st acquisitions of foreign territory seized for purely economical reasons, though reasons were vastly inflated for political means. This is nothing more than another form of Imperialism that seeks to conquer and divide all opponents of its hegemonic declaration, in order to control almost all areas of politics and economics, and even advance its own religion worldwide. When you suffer to exist in a world of eternal warfare, because controlling factors do not have the desire to compromise in any way, you create a world that resembles the trail of a massive tornado that leaves only destruction in its wake. Wasted resources are not limitless, lives are not limitless, and the things that are needed to bring a balance back to a healthy Earth are abandoned. The poor and unfortunate are left in misery, poverty, and hunger, while those with means like the wealthy, build huge fortifications and armies of security to shelter themselves behind. Let us be clear, it is imperative that politics such as they are here in the United States, that leads to continual warfare, should neither be tolerated or desired. "Foreign aid is used to support American national security and commercial interests and can also be distributed for humanitarian.", as quoted from Wikipedia, and amounts to well over a Trillion dollars since the idea was implemented in 1961. This program has thwarted the very foundations of goodwill the United States supposedly exemplifies, because of its true design as underlined; and as given in particular to Israel, it must not be used in any way for the sales or gifts of weapons of war, because this only encourages their hostility, so let them use their own resources to supposedly defend themselves from the suffering they have generated. If we are to truly promote goodwill worldwide, then our taxpayer funded foreign aid should only be used for humanitarian causes that relief suffering, and do not promote war, or advantage our corporate economic interests. Most U.S. major corporations are already so wealthy they pay their CEO's and share holders handsomely for their services and support, and really do not need additional taxpayer dollars to promote themselves. Promoting the sales of U.S. weapons worldwide must also be stopped, and the manufacturing of weapons worldwide must be discouraged, or at least limited and remain in the country of origin, all in order to have any hope of stopping Wars. The U.S. must become the responsible party, and maybe then the world will follow us.

       We the people of the United States need to fully realize and appreciate our unique geographical position in the world, that is way more advantag-eous than Africa, or even Australia to defending its borders, because we have good neighbors to the South and to the North of us, and two mindboggling Oceanic basins that front us on the East and the West, helping to distance ourselves in the thousands of miles from all major potential foes. Yet, we seek to exploit the world behind the shield of a Democracy that appears haphazardous and inept at best, but in reality has a purposeful design to deceive its citizens, because it is so easily influenced and controlled by a minority, when it should be controlled by a majority. If you want the world to truly emulate you, then don't hide behind disguises, but look to show a face of integrity that is built upon truth and honesty, that shares a world through compassion, understanding, and equality. The world looks for the true potential of this mighty nation, but our leaders don't represent the majority.

       Economically speaking the United States is going bankrupt because of the enormous unsustainable debt of 34.5 Trillion dollars and counting, that it has failed miserably to even pay back a penny, but instead continuously sells debt to finance itself over and above all the collections of the total of its revenues. Any nation or entity whatsoever that continues to operate in this continual debt of obsessive compulsive disorder, will sooner or later find it-self bankrupt morally, economically, and politically. To service just the yearly interest on this massive debt is a staggering amount that will closely approach One Trillion dollars very soon, because we don't stop borrowing and learn to live within our means, and it's mostly due to the fact, we have so many irresponsible politicians that would rather garnish your vote than earn your respect. I think when the Federal Reserve was formulated by the heads and experts of our financial systems inside the United States, (who decided to meet in 1910 on a tiny remote island called almost absurdly "Jekyll" lying off the coast of Georgia) they did so to consolidate control and power over all banking done in the U.S. "They met in ultimate secrecy using their 1st names, "Nelson, Harry, Frank, Paul, Piatt, and Arthur – to prevent the staff from learning their identities", (quoted from Wikipedia) that would later be called the 1st name club, and their stated intention was to make the banking system more elastic, otherwise flexible. But this is usually really done to make something that can be easily manipulated. Bankers and financiers felt the need to meet in such a Jekyllonian secrecy, because they wanted total control over the entire monetary system of a nation, not entrusting their wealth and power to governmental regulation. Just imagine banker's mentality by what the famed Federal Reserve Chairman once said about merit, "A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment; luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement and, probably, income; luckiest in their educational and career opportunities; and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate - these are the folks who reap the largest rewards." ~ Ben Bernanke. It is clear by these words that many people who are put into top positions of responsibility do not truly understand their position, for real merit is earned, it is not gamed, and this has been the attitude of many other famous chairman and financiers like Alan Greenspan; it is a wonder that the U.S. monetary system still exists!

       "Starting in the 1970s, large banks began to push back on the Glass-Steagall Act’s regulations, claiming they were rendering them less competitive against foreign securities firms. The argument embraced by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1987, was that if banks were permitted to engage in investment strategies, they could increase the return for their banking customers while avoiding risk by diversifying their businesses." as quoted from "www.history.com/glass-steagall-act. Why was the Glass-Steagall Act Repealed? It was basically and very wrongly repealed in 1999, because of Reaganomics and the Neo-Conservatives efforts, who felt it imposed way too many limits on the banking sector, that reduced their ability to take on more risk, that when successful returned way higher profits. This repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act allowed for one of the most horrendous collapses of the financial sector ever in 2008, which is considered by many experts to be even more egregious than the 1928 Wall Street collapse that led to the Great Depression. So they finagled their way out of this massive collapse of the financial sector, that the Glass-Steagall Act was put in place to prevent, by appealing to President Barack Obama that they were to big to fail, because it would further drag down the whole economy, and they were bailed out of trouble by a massive loan in the 100's of billions of taxpayer dollars. Capitalism is meant to fall on its knees at times when excessive risk is taken, and start anew again by suffering its losses, and not being propped up to continue the same gambling scheme over and over again, because nothing is really ever learned when you lose a bet and don't have to pay up.

       As I have written before, Reaganomics end result has been the privatization of so many governmental programs such as Medicare, Prisons, and Contract service to the Military, where the list of corruption and mismanagement goes ever on wherever profits can be reaped at the expense of the taxpayer. Otherwise, everywhere you look Capitalism is always continually inventing new ways to exploit all possible sources of revenue whenever it can, and I for one would not fully trust any institution that is not limited in its scope, because they have mostly failed when they can be gamed so easily. The financial and banking system has become nothing more that a big casino in which you play the odds, and this time the house may not hold the Trump card. My advice; stay out of debt, learn to live within your means, or as Dad would quote Grandpa, "learn to live out of your pocket", so own everything outright with no liens or obligations whatsoever, and put a great deal of savings away for a rainy day. You may not look pretty by some standards that are on borrowed time, but you shouldn't be sitting in some gutter looking for a handout, nor will you give a percentage of all you make to someone else.

        The controlling two party political system in the United States of Republicans and Democrats, which does not include Progressives, foster such mayhem and destructive policies that I have just wrote about, because they are mostly being bought out by those forces that wish it so. Look behind each candidate for office and more times than not you will find a long shadow cast behind them much like the deceptive Koch Brothers campaign "Americans for Prosperity", and in front of the most deceiving you will even see their supporters overshadowed by the National or Confederate flag of the United States they claim demonstrates their Patriotism, but really just hides their anger and frustration of a changing world they cannot fully control. As General Butler said, "Politics is a nasty business", and it has always been the controlling mechanism of most all Democracies, so if you want change you must get involved, or those in power will most always devise new ways to stay in power. Remember always, a nation that is founded solely on a leadership hierarchy is fundamentally weak and can be gamed easily, because it relies solely on the values and intent of its leader and limits good council.

       The need for a third political party here in the United States that can address change, and the grievances and aspirations of the Progressive left in politics, (that is the future and cornerstone of most young and enlightened people who thirst for equality and inclusion), has never been more paramount or needed than it is at this critical juncture in American history. We can know our past, if we but just look to discover it, portrayed by a Conservative Evangelical Christian Ideology, that looks to end a more equal future, by trying to always erase the evidence of its prejudice and bigotry from the annals of our written history. Young people are the inherent rebels we all strive to be in times of stress and uncertainty, and for them and all truly Progressive people, I wish to open up the possibility of a third U.S. political party called, "The Evolutionist Party." In this platform, Progressives will finally have a voice that demands change as the only viable route to equality and inclusion, because as of now they have mostly been ignored and marginalized, especially during all the Gaza protests happening on and off our University campuses; whose Regents don't want to divest in Zionism, instead put up their endowments for high returns. I believe the world will be a better place if we trust in the best part of our nature, for the good that resides in each of us, should help the young and brave amongst us figure out how to bring it forth.

       When I look out into the Cosmos on a clear starlit night, I see the face of God the Creator residing in the reality that is this Universe, much as Spinoza and others visualized, as a whole infinite entity that encompasses all the physical properties it is bound to. This is not a manmade God, but a source of inspiration for all to explore that is not grounded in jealousy, nor critical or demanding of loyalty, but a source given unto those who have the intelligence and the fortitude that courage demands, to investigate its almost infinite possibilities. If we continue to live in the past, most humans will never find out what these possibilities are, nor accept any significant change which is the reality of Evolution. I have written extensively about the conditions that now exist on earth, not to lecture you about the fault of our ways, but to open your eyes to a better world that is possible. We humans must trust in our own salvation, by using logical reasoning based on truthful evidence. CJW
