"Thank you for your service". Like support the troops a meaningless platitude which is said instead of really talking to the Vets. about what they encountered, what they need and above all having to think about the sacrifices they made so you can go shopping. Why do you think the Vets are committing suicide in record numbers? Why are they homeless in greater numbers then the rest of the population. Why are they alienated from the society around them? Why is the VA so badly underfunded that they do not have the people, resources or even buildings that don't leak? I escaped the PTSD trap because I had elders who listened to me. who gave me a purpose above and beyond what I had done before.
They told me I had served as a warrior for far to long. That from that day onward I had to serve as a Peacemaker. I had to stand against war and the horrors of war. I had to stand against the mistreatment of any be it because of the Nationality, Race, Sex, Religion, Abilities or any other reason for mistreating or ignoring others. I have made a few others become Peacemakers, however not enough. Peacemakers are still not honored or accepted in our society. Despite it being written in the majority hole-y book, "Blessed be the Peacemakers, for they shall be called Sons of god."
How many know that the only winners of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are the banksters and wall street racketeers who make money from the death and destruction. They did not and never have endangered our freedoms. They never had any way to bring war or destruction to our shores. However Saddam was willing to sell oil without using us dollars. For that crime he was hung. The Taliban refused to turn Osama over to us without any proof he had anything to do with 9-11. Besides they had refused to allow a American Corporation to build a oil pipeline across the nation. Guess what was the first project started after the Taliban were thrown from government by our troops. Guess what was protected from being seized or damaged after we invaded Iraq. Guess who's oil fields are being eyed by the corporate owners of our President and Congress now. why continue the fake war on terror, Osama is dead and that was our excuse for going to war?
My new favorite quote is "Politicians and diapers need to be changed often and for the same reason."
Our constitution and Treaties are supposed to be the Supreme Law of the land. However the politicians ignore both unless the Banksters and Wall Street Racketeers can make a profit from enforcing them. What rights do you have today and who guarantees them? Ask our Native Americans what they think of treaties we have forced on them at gunpoint. The only part of the treaties the US has lived up to is the part where they took our lands.
I repeat the Republican and the Democrat Parties are both the same party. Both have a criminal purpose which is to solicit bribes and sell our government services to the highest bidder. What do you get other then a form letter when you write your congress sleeze about anything? How about when contacting your State or local reprehensible representatives. so why do we keep electing these people. Because they are the least evil of the two? If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you in NYC.
We are the greatest war mongering nation on the planet. We still are following the doctrine of Manifest Destiny. It wasn't over when we placed the last of the tribes in prison camps we call reservations. No we overthrew the government of Hawaii then annexed that nation as one of our states. We tried to annex Cuba and the Philippians. However the people threw us and our corrupt puppet rulers out. However we can not provide decent schooling because we don't want to raise taxes. we can not provide decent healthcare because we don't want to raise taxes. We can not take care of of Veterans because we don't want to raise taxes. We can not provided food, housing or opportunity to the people because that would drain off some of the money the Wall Street Racketeers are pocketing. If they get less money then our politicians will loose their own racket. So we go along with a government that on no level serves the needs of the majority.
Have a happy Memorial day, don't forget to buy, buy, buy at our great consumer sales. Don't forget to have a barbeque to celebrate the beginning of the summer season.

Thoughts 5/25/2014
Ukraine and Egypt are both overthrowing elected leadership by ultra nationalist US owned interest. Can't have any nation acting in it's peoples interest. Of course that applies to the US of Amerikkka also.
The legends of my people, the Jewish people and so many other peoples say our purpose is/was/will be keepers and guardians of our Mother the Earth, which in one way or another is described as sacred/holy or Great Mysteries footstool. where did all of us go wrong?
Once again I must speak out about our political party the Demopublican/Republicrat Party which is/was and will be a criminal operation designed to shake down whoever for bribes (campaign contributions) and sell their service to the highest bidder. The secondary purpose is to make sure nobody else has a voice in what is going on.
Will someone tell me what purpose Wal-Fart serves other then to sell us junk that poisons us, falls apart on the second use or helps to control us.
I know what purpose I serve this morning. Ace comes in from his morning constitutional and jumps in my lap. He remains there until he is either dry or warm before he does anything else. Thus in his mind at least I serve as a dryer or heater. Plus the additional purpose of being his pet.
I have to laugh. So many people I know are sure the Bible is both infallible and God's word. It is also not supposed to be translated. However it was composed probably in Iraq no more then a few hundred years before the common era. It is also in the case of the King James (of England) a translation of a translation of a translation. Written primarily to justify the actions and rule of the British Royal Family.
You or I steal from a bank we go to jail. A bankster steals from us and gets rewarded with additional money.
I serve the most thankless and hardest job in the world. I am a Peacemaker and Earthkeeper. Neither is looked upon as worthy of anything but contempt. Despite the fact that Peacemakers are mentioned in the book called holy. "Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God." However I will continue to serve both purposes until all life on this planet dies. I also remember that one thing everyone has to stand up and be counted for is the question "Am I my brothers keeper?" The answer is self evident, we are.

Either we are all working for a liveable planet or we are all dieing from the same causes. No one person can make this difference but each that tries bends the outcome toward what is needed. One of these days we will either reach the point of no return or where most of us live in harmony with Mother Earth, your choice.
The United States took advantage of resentment against the very rich in the Ukraine to sponsor a overthrow of the government by NeoNazis. Then furnished the same Nazis with weapons and help from Blackwater to force the rest of the people to submit at gunpoint. Are you proud of the US government involvement?
The one percent have perfected the system of control. Kill or discredit anyone who might lead the rest of us into taking control away from them. Turn everyone against each other. The poor whites against the poor blacks , even turning tribes against each other by pleading limited resources and by limiting how much they supply various tribes. They use race, religion, ethnic background or whatever perceived differences they can manufacturer. It works we are so busy hating any one different from our self that they continue to steal and use us without being thrown out. This includes Republicans and Democrats which both stand for and do the bidding of the 1 % without fail. Yet pretend to have opposite views. Even the Tea Party is owned and operate and financed by the 1 %.
Have you thanked the most hardworking of our other relatives? The Earthworm aerates our soil, converts stones to dust and even brings needed minerals to the plants among who's roots they reside. If your yard or neighborhood is infested with sickly brown patches and choked with invasive weeds, obtain and introduce worms to it and watch the changes. If you want a healthy garden without having to use pesticides and chemicals in it, add mulch and earthworms and enjoy.
If you fear or look down on other animals, remember we are the most dangerous animal and the most destructive on Earth.

Having lived in both Saudi Arabia and other nations I should be able to find truth in news somewhere. I have found it in LUV News here in the USA (http://luvnews.info/Belief.htm). Also in a minor newspaper with English translation available in Israel. Sometimes from Russia today as long as it isn't covering certain subjects. Ususalyy from English versions of German and Portugese newspapers, as long as they are apart from government control. However I can not find it in NPR (National Propaganda Radfo) nor in any of our TV news sources. They have no journalist. Taking whatever corporate or government crap is the latest propaganda and not even trying to check the sources. Definitely not the NY Times which gets caught publishing outright false stories almost every day. It is the very nature of the media in the US of Amerikkka to deceive, cover up or falsify anything the 5 owners of all major news sources do not want us to know. Search out and listen and read independent news sources. You might even learn something.
I long ago quite voting for Republicans and Democrats. If you think they are different I have a bridge in NYC to sell you. all you have to do is watch what they really do rather then the lies they trot out every election cycle. that and see who is the biggest donors to their election bids. In every case you will find out the biggest bribers are bribing both major party candidates. No wonder the latest study finds that less then a few dozen people control our government and none of them are elected. Government at every level from local to national and lately international is for sale to the highest bidder.
You want to follow Jesus, do so. He gave explicit words on how to live in the Sermon on the Mount. He gave explicit examples in his own life. No matter how the religious leaders twist and use the Bible in order to control you, You can't go wrong if you feed those who are hungry, heal those who are sick, teach those who are seeking, condem anything built on power or riches, and see the Great Mystery in everyone you meet. Doesn't mean you have to trust them especially if you find them lacking in trustworthiness. Remember the Rich Young man and what he choose. He received his reward in the gold and lands he owned and not in anything of real value. Remember the religious leaders of his day, they were as bad as those who lead people today. We call them today Catholic, Protestant or even Morman but they are mere men using portions of the truth in order to enrich or place them self aver your life. Remember what Jesus said about the Law and the Prophets. Look not at a persons color, sex, religion or wealth but how they treat others no matter how different or what personal choices they make. We are all related a truth noone can change by using religion as a excuse to attack or condemn another.
Seek your answers not from me or anyone else. Seek instead within yourself. Use meditation as a tool to relieve stress. To give greater clarity to your thinking process, as a tool for renewal or to find that Pearl of Great Price.

I hear many saying the best government is no government. This is a fallacy, government has existed since time itself. Government is the commons. That which we are able to do collectively that no individual is able to do alone. Our parks, roads, bridges, airports and all of our commons. Things like the REA, Common markets like the farmers markets are all part of government.. Things like the council to solve problems that affect all, that is the function of government. For no one person has the training, ability or inclination to do everything necessary to accomplish what is necessary for living. Government only exists to serve people. When it fails to do that, it's time to replace that government with something that serves us.
Every animal except one has a purpose in nature. Every animal serves a unique part of it's environment except one. What is the purpose of the human being? Just about all legends from around the world give it in one form or another. Our purpose is to be the caretaker of our Mother the Earth. The garden of Eden still exists, it's just that we have mistreated and damaged it beyond recognition. Time for all of us to renew the garden.
War is called for by our so called leaders once again. We called for a war on poverty and it worked. We have more poverty today then during the so called great depression. We called for a war on drugs, it worked. Today illegal drugs are more available then ever. We called for a war on terror, it worked. How many school shootings, and other terrorist actions do we hear about today. It's time to quite calling for more wars. Every time we go to war the only ones who are in the gun sights are normal human beings.

How
come people participating in peaceful gatherings and legal protest
are arrested with overwhelming force. Yet the police and politicians
who ordered/used that force on those people are allowed to go free
and use excessive force and illegal arrests on other people. The
biggest criminal organization in NY is the NYCPD and most of the
members should be in jail today. Along with the politicians who allow
them to grope, sexually assault, manhandle, beat or murder who ever
they want when ever they want. Not just that but lie about what they
do and how.
What
good is a bill of rights which has no criminal penalties attached to
it? What good is a Universal Declaration of Human Rights when no one
enforces it? What good is a Constitution when it only protects the
greedy or rich?
Only
when all the human beings on this planet have a voice in how they are
treated. Only when every human being every law, every common expense
and every relationship is open and honored will we be able to call
our self civilized.
Good
government does not start with the rule of law. Law's are made by fallible people. Good government starts with each and every one of
us. How we treat others and how we live as a example for others. That
is the basis of what government should be. Good government starts
with each of us standing up and saying no more to this dysfunctional
government we have today.

Parisites
Parasites and
other things
A parasite is
a living thing that lives off other living creatures but does not
provide any benefit to the what ever it lives off of. Numerous
examples are available all of which if even mentioned bring other
examples to mind. Mosquitoes, intestinal worms, some forms of
bacteria, and ticks.
Probably the
most harmful form of parasite I can think of is the human being. Even
then you have to classify them as to how much harm they do to the
other living creatures around them.
At the top of
the parasitic food chain have to be those who never earned anything
with common labor. This would include the Banksters, the Wall Street
Racketeers, the Donald Trumps, Rockefellers, Koch brothers and other
vermin who inherited and live off of the labor of others without
contributing anything in return. Most of them live off of the
combined labor of thousands of other parasitical human beings
including many who also contribute nothing to advance or make life
better for the rest of us.
The first
layer below them includes many who actually think they are
contributing to society. The worst of these are the military and the
almost military so called police. They herd, kill and destroy the
other layers of humanity on command. Even if for no reason other then
being told to do so. Most of the top level parasites owe their
position to either public or private armies.
Above and
below these layers of parasites is another layer called poly (many)
tics ( a blood sucking parasite). This is a layer including
presidents, Congress critters, judges and other vermin used to give
the top layer protection from being pulled down by the lower layers.
It's usual mode of feeding is some form of bribery, called for some
reason campaign finance. This layer of parasite provides cover for
the top layer and suffer in place of them when the rest of us revolt.
At the bottom
layer are the people who all these layers of parasites feed off of.
This includes the dreamers, laborers, cooks, factory workers, small
farmers, artist, clerks and teachers. This includes those duped into
believing they might get ahead if they work harder. Others it
includes are those who go along to get along, Those so busy making a
living they forget how to live, Those who have given up because they
have been beaten down so much they have quite trying and those who
still dream of a better way. I Am a dreamer, what are you?

How come the US of Amerikkka has been at war for all but 21 years since it came into existence. Could it be that we have been governed by sociopaths the whole time? I know Mr. Washington was one.
What if the White Christians get to heaven and find out their God is Black?
The Whooorld Bunk ( excuse me World Bank) is the supreme criminal enterprice. Who owns it?
Instead of free land, free buildings, tax relief and so on that our counties are giving to attract business to locate here, we spent a equivalent amount on a community owned business, using local management, local workers and local suppliers. What if the first business we made local was the cable company? After all I have not heard of anyone happy with Comcast.
Did you know you can grow crops with cold frames and a second cover year round everywhere in the US of Amerikkka? I grew tomatoes and leaf lettuce in containers on my apartment fire escape in Maine. When frost came I moved them inside the glass door and continued to have fresh salads up until Feb.
When you think about buying clothes at Wal-Fart remember they won't last more then a couple of washings. Do you really want to buy poorly made junk from them when you can spend a few dollars more you can shop elsewhere and have your clothes last?
Speaking of Dollars, why accept a IOU from a private bank which has nothing to back it. Lets demand congress create a five dollar, ten dollar, 20 dollar, 50 dollar and hundred dollar coin and put the Federal Reserve out of business. That or create local currencies which are backed by goods and services.
Since the Republican/Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise designed to extract the maximum bribes in order to sell it's service to the highest bidder. Lets all vote independent or Minor party. Other wise if we boycott the elections they will just have their own membership vote and nothing will change.
Human beings are as much a part of nature as lions or snakes. Our purpose is to be caretakers for Mother Earth and all her children. Where did we go wrong?

A drive to more wars
Our government is insane. Our leadership is unable to deal with people in a civilized manner and our military dictates all of our so called foreign policy. The drumbeat for more and greater weapons systems is insistent. The manipulating to invade more sovereign nations which have not and do not pose any threat to the United States of Amerikkka nor do they wish to be invaded and have a corrupt government imposed on them by us. The use of minor political parties in nations that we disagree with to overthrow and destroy the governments is a crime against humanity and a war crime. We are the heir to the policies and methods of the third Reich. As such the people have to decide if we want to continue our grand plan for world domination or allow us to take a lawful place among the worlds people.
