Screw them!
This post is about the people, of every nation on earth, from New Zealand to Canada, from San Francisco to Amsterdam, from Nairobi to India, from Cairo to Jacksonville, from Ozland to Greenland. From Paris to Lincoln, Nebraska.
This is about the people of this planet.
We are as rats in a Skinner Box.
Admittedly, in America, it is more like gerbels on an exercise wheel....Going round and round, about absolutely nothing, usually, except producing. That's right producing. It matters not what is being produced as long as it makes a buck. We have become anything-for-a-buck-America.
Actually, we have been like this for quite awhile now, but it has never been more transparent than now.
We have been lied to and decived into a war of aggression. As a nation, we are guilty of war crimes, because, even after we knew this, soe of us still voted for the perpetrators.
Some of us were not deceived, simply because we knew more than others about our history, as a nation, and we knew more about the Bush family and what we now refer to as the Bushites, the NeoCons and the TheoCons and the ever present corporatists.
While the more well-known blogs laid out the politcs of it all and did so in good agressive reporting, some of us just followed along, and wrote about what we saw unfolding, before our astonished and aging eyes.
We are the elders of the 60s movement. now. We are all that is left of a movement that changed a country and the world, in many ways.
Look what our nation has been doing to the elderly and the youth...the wisdom and the future. This would not have been our recomendation. Our recmendation would have been to find ways of getting the elders and the youth together.
We are too busy to raise our children or to honor our elderly, That is a prescription for a failed nation.
There is no history quite as valuable as lived history. Yes, memories are not always bias free or aboslutely accurate, but that is beside the point. The point is that the people need a history (herstory, whatever). Histories are always about Kings and governments. The most important stuff gets left out.
What were the people thinking? Were they really for or against their governments?
I have witnessed some amazing things lately. I have seen government officials stand up for what is right. I have seen ordinary citizens in America stand up to an evermore fascist regime.
But, the Americans who oppose the insanity can not fight it on their own. It will take te help of the global comunity.
Join us, please. We ask not only for ourselves, but for the whole world.
Details later here.
..And the truth shall set you free.
