THE ABSENCE OF CULTURE.... I have many times wondered about the absence of culture in America. For the tribes who inhabited this land before now, the essence of their culture was based on balance. Basic and beautiful in its simplicity, take not that which you do not require, use all that you take and cultivate the land for the future. A social system based on an eternal family encompassing all within its boundary. United to raise the children, united to hunt and provide necessities, united in collective thought for the guidance and evolution of the tribe. While in Asia I studied the art of precision held in almost all orient cultures. A meticulous strive for perfection in all that is acted upon. Some would see the grand palaces and gardens as decadent, but I only see a pure beauty of a selfless people. Has a child I loved to watch movies from China and Japan, a habit I hold to this day, not because of the extravagant battles and flurries of seemingly senseless violence, but for the honor and sense of duty that the characters portray. I feel no honor amongst men here in America, only a materialistic sense of self and ego that always surpasses honor and duty. In Europe I found that the people are nothing like they are portrayed to the American people. A marry people, to say the least, whose cultures are in decline as is ours, yet hold tightly to their history and affectionately continue to write it into new paths. I have viewed and partaken in the passion of Hispanic cultures, where family virtues are placed on high pedestals and family loyalty is held only second to love of God. Exquisite in their dance, poetry, and music, they are a people of outward expression, freely sharing with the world. Now here in America we have fallen so far from the historical owners of this land, whose culture was based on balance with nature, balance with other tribes and balance with each other. Our culture which I define as the “bastard children of America,” I say this due to the lack of most of us, regardless of race or religion, to know or understand their own lineage. Today we base our existence on imbalance and consumption without cultivation. The words of Arundhati Roy come to mind she said, “the American way of life is simply unsustainable.” These words ring true and in light of current events, seem self-evident We are a cultureless people, a lost group of followers willing to trail behind anyone who says they can maintain our way of life, as opposed to leading and teaching ourselves to reach our own pinochle of evolution. It is saddening to see such a lack of passion for fear of embarrassment, or striving for beauty and perfection sold for industrial slavery. I pray often for not only the people, but for the power blinded leaders marching us into oblivion, so they may one day see the light of a righteous existence and a death of the illusion of power. Sometimes I wonder if the people of this land understand the breach in the veil of morality our very existence here has caused. There is no place on earth that has not felt the hand of American persecution. Day by day destroying the ecological and social balances of the entire world. When will people understand that possession is a myth, or that most of the truths we cling to so tightly, are dressed up lies masquerading through our blinded consciousness? Granted there are many who view the world and our home as I do, but they are few and far between. Yet all of our messages though unique in dialog have the same basic premises. Heal your own mind, question what you have been taught, be a minister of truth and enlightenment, help those who can not help them selves, embrace the cultures of the world and be humbled by their versatility, for wisdom has no face and holds no relevance to the stature of its messenger.

God’s gift to us all was the Divine right to free will, our will being the most versatile and expansive of all creatures, in the sense that we can over come all adversity. In this gift, there in also lies our greatest curse; our perceptions of the experiences exposed to through life gives us all a vision of what is and what can be. Though in most cases our view of what could be the difference is so immeasurably expansive that we generally hold that what we could be, has a fantasy and take the current system of life has an unchangeable reality with out the help of an out side force or presence other than our own. So, we adapt to the world around us as opposed to using our own will and creativity to change it. Must of us give so little credit to our selves and prefer to assist those who are willing to act and not acting has an individual. Every one of us have a distinctive voice and perception of the world around us and this fact alone makes our collective unity in any action more effective yet not at full potential unless each individual voice is heard and the overall result molded to all as opposed to the loudest voice or most popular opinion. The essence of a true democracy is a state where all have to give way on some points yet the over all result is admired and honored by all who are affected by it. We all find ourselves in a point in history where we regurgitate information fed to us and merely reflect, and not shine our own light on our world. No matter what country we are from we allow the government and the media to narrow our view of who we may appoint or elect, this flawed structure pushes those who have the largest pockets to the forefront and not those who posses the virtues of integrity, respect, humility, honor, and the understanding that, an elected official merely relays the will of the people and not personal aspirations. In the constitution of the United States the only qualifications for one to become president are to be at least 35 years of age and to have born in the US, so why is that all of our presidents have come from Yale, Harvard or Princeton when a college degree is not even a requirement, further more we are conditioned to believe that only these highly respected, international bank owned universities are sufficient to educate a future president. The sad fact is simply that the people who allow these false truths to continue is us the general population. Our failure to question and expand our understanding of the whole view of the way the political systems in our perspective countries function and are manipulated are the underlying cause for a global system of political corruption. Adolph Hitler once said that “the human’s will for forgetting is eminence”, this allowed him to manifest some of the greatest atrocities known to man, now in our day and age it is not so much the peoples will to forget has it is the absence of the desire to learn the system in which we are governed. In my view, the very word government is an oxymoron. The so-called government is supposed to be comprised of public servants, and not politicians. The people and more so the will of the people should be the only governing factor of the government. This means simply that the people govern themselves. We are not animals to be herded and corralled. We are individuals. Entities whose unalienable rights are not to be foreshadowed by the political aspirations of the few. Whose greed and lust for power and resources have replaced their true function, which is only to be the voice of the people who appointed them. Unfortunately, since the beginning of recorded history and the conception of the first government, there was also born the desire of some to infiltrate and through corrosion and clandestine methods. Repeatedly the same result has occurred. Fundamentally, all conceived forms of government have the best intentions of the people in mind yet, as said in the bible “the path way to hell is laid by the bricks of good intention”, this simply means that the door in which infiltration is allowed must be removed and a new impregnable method must be adopted and sustained. All too often are the people lulled into the eloquent and inspiring words of many politicians who through charisma and a cunning tongue win our loyalty only to reverse their positions upon being elected. This article is not an all attack on political systems without solutions. However, I see simple ways to halt corruption though many may find them drastic. One of the main solutions I will now address is the answer to political stagnancy, every politician has should have a monitored and publicized approval rating to show if the majority of the population feels that the official is managing that position is a way that portrays the general will of the people in that politicians city, state, country etc. and this is to be done on a quarterly basis. If the approval rating drops below 51% in any quarter than that politician has until the next quarter to regain majority standing or will be impeached from office. Another larger problem with politicians is determining where their true loyalties lie. In today’s world of mass media and conglomerate information control, an aspiring politician must give into the corporate power game or simply not get the publicity required to receive the popular vote. Through this years election process Ron Paul and others have either not received equal media coverage, or was not covered at all. All too often, this corporate tactic is used to help a predetermined out come of an election into reality. When we allow this has part of our political process, it pushes the candidate with the most corporate backing to the front because major corporations provide most political funding. This also leaves to question of whether a politician will manipulate laws and regulations in favor of the same corporations who funded their political campaigns or even worse yet corporations that politician may have held a position in or stock options, has is the case of Dick Cheney and Halliburton or George Bush Sr. and the Carlyle Group. Since the beginning of the current war in Iraq Halliburton has made billions of dollars. Are we to believe that Dick Cheney is not going to get his cut? These corporate ties and the lobbyist that continue to pollute our system must be removed like the cancers they are. I propose that all government officials with political and financial ties to corporations be immediately removed from office. Their loyalty cannot be truly assessed. Therefore, I see no other effective measure than to remove the temptation all together. In addition to this all political funding being corporate or private should be abolished and all candidates should be given an equal share on a natural platform for elections, this measure would free up billions in a nations economy to go to social programs and enhancing the nations agricultural and industrial infrastructure. Every election we see billions of dollars in funds that could be better used in education or other national assets being squandered in attempts to out bid public approval. This system must be overhauled and reviewed. Political campaigns can be converged with candidates sharing equal assets to reduce unnecessary and unjust political campaign expenses. Last the people must have access to better education in the realm of political knowledge, all schools should equipped to give students from grade school to graduate school a better understanding of our political systems, why they were formed and who has played a part in them. There should be no mystery of who a candidate is or what they stand for. Has the reshaping of our political structure takes place also there needs to be massive changes in our social structure. In addition to the inalienable rights referred to in our constitution, to these should be added the fact that no necessity of human life should be considered a commodity. All necessities should be considered rights, and will not be denied on the basis on monetary value. To include health care that is not cosmetic, food, water or shelter. My reasoning in this statement is to remove the issues of hunger, inadequate health care and homelessness. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”, one of the most true and famous statements of the United States Declaration of Independence, in my view any attempt to deprive any human being of any basic necessity for life is in violation of this statement. If we can effectively alleviate these issues from our countries we will simultaneously reduce crime, have a more intelligent and effective populous, reduce disease, and have a stronger foundation for the future of this world with the eradication of the walls that separate our racial, social and political views. This by far will be the hardest accomplishment of humankind but with a world of such vast resources, it would only take the ending corporate greed and the squandering of agricultural and industrial resources. Proceeded by a shift from power through military might to a world in which we all contribute to human advancement to form peace through understanding the necessity of peace and not through fear of reprisal. In a world of over 6.6 billion people, at least 6 billion of them share the same aspirations. At the end of the day, the power resides with those 6 billion and through education and understanding, the will of the majority will prevail.…
Cause and Effect
I was born in 1974 my life has seen many great men and women fighting and dying for many noble causes all across the world. I have seen the end of the Civil Rights Movement in America and many other movements both here and abroad. Though my heart bleeds for the many causes we all fight for my eyes have become to see something else as well, all of these noble causes and movements are in a larger way further dividing the people of our planet. Men and women struggling and fighting to gain or preserve rights are being opposed by other factions that are fighting to preserve different rights, thus progression may be achieved in on or a few areas but in the end the conclusion is a recession to the same state or a worse then previous state of the rights of all parties involved. Let us think of slavery, in one shape or form all of the cultures on earth have been enslaved by another, yet in 2008 after its abolishment in December 6, 1865, the dark face of slavery is still just has alive as it was through history. It merely changes shape or definition. When slavery was abolished it did not free all slaves in the U.S. only the southern slaves and when freed, they had nothing else to do except go back to work for their former masters as indentured servants which is still the state of most Americans and most of the inhabitance of this world. In this country first you must become well educated to become successful in this system has in any country. You go to college or vocational school to become certified in a certain field. Now most of us in the U.S. can not afford to pay higher education costs up front so we are faced with using Federal or private loans and a few grants that may cover a small percentage of the cost. Now the Loans offered by both federal and private means are interest bearing loans in which the interest is accrued daily and compounded monthly. Now this escalating debt starts 2, 4, 6 or 8 years before you even begin to work in your field. This debt though unfair to the student has a function for their future employers. In this age of corporate greed; corporations do credit checks on the new prospective employees, the function behind this tactic is to ascertain the amount a student owes for his or her education and if there are few major debts, than the student is less of a risk to the corporation and discipline is easily maintained through fear of not having an income to cover these still escalating costs. This in it self is a form of indentured servitude, which was abolished. Also the 13th amendment did not cover prisoners in the federal system; this explains why the majority of men in prison are African American or Hispanic keeping them under the same system of slavery yet under a new name. There are a great number of people today and in the past fighting to reverse these injustices yet the fact is that we are fighting for differing issues which is in fact separating our ideals, our values and our humanity into manageable groups or sections. The purpose for this lies in the phrase "Divide and conquer", we are all used to seeing this phrase in its Latin form for it adorns a great many things here and in Europe. You see it is easier to quell small rebellions or movements than to attempt to quell a large scale movement of all people under one cause, see we are all fighting effects of a greater cause. If we all fight the actual cause has a unit all together no political power or corporate interest could stop the progress of the people. Also another interesting fact is that the same families that are involved year after year and generation after generation. For instance George W. Bush's family has been involved in politics since at least the 1800's but most of us do not know why. Would it surprise you that George W. Bush's Grandfather was made his fortune by being a vice-president of Brown Brothers-Harriman which is the oldest private bank in North America, and is still in business today? This was one of the major financing banks of Nazi Germany and also on of the largest importers of slaves on the east coast. Would it then be easier to see why George Bush doesn’t act on the desires and wishes of the American Citizens, he simply doesn’t care he is controlled by financial interests in the U.S. and abroad there for the will of the citizens are irrelevant. The bottom line is power even wealth is irrelevant our dying middle class is finding out. If our wealth is based on paper notes owned and issued by the Federal Reserve than our wealth is also irrelevant because at any time the fed which is controlled by the same private stock holders who created the system and can crash it at will. Has they have done in the Agricultural Depression, 1870-1900 and the Great Depression which caused a worldwide economic depression lasting from 1929 until the dawn of World War II. Why would the Government inflict such travesties on its own people? First the government officials are appointed and not elected has we are led to believe, the only purpose of elections is select the order of officials who will eventually end up in office anyway. Having said this let us again address the question of why, prior to the these two depressions were periods of great prosperity for the U.S. and this prosperity trickled down to the people the planned depressions were designed to recapture the wealth now in the hands and to reduce the power of the smaller banking institutions in the south and the west. This is done to keep control of the majority of the currency in the economic system, there for keeping a financial hold over all who exist in its shadow. Ensuring that the wealth remained in the hands of the few and not the majority; in a world where currency reigns supreme the one who controls the wealth controls all who live within its system which is global, as pointed out by Nathan Mayer Rothschild. Throughout history systems have been put in place to control the people of this earth, first was the divinity of kings. When these kings lost power then the next step was to gain power beyond boarders, which was done through the manipulation of religion and the church which is still at work today thousands of years later, yet has the churches loose a grip on societies then a new system was formed the economic systems of the world are in fact are all centralized and are the pretence for a one world government. We are all born into our economic systems these systems are so hard wire into our minds that the majority of us find them to be inescapable, there in lies the power of the so called global elite, a centralized global economic system based on the tyrannical ideas of a few aristocratic families in which the entire world blindly feeds into and will continue to until they either pull the plug on the system and declare a global communistic system in which all resources are under their control or we all has a united freed people spanning the entire global in one voice relinquish their power and begin a new system ensuring that all basic necessities are de-commoditized and are met first, once this step has been taken then and only then will with clarity of vision and a firm grasp that no longer will the greed of our minds over take the love in our hearts shall we evolve.
