What is this Mindset that Causes U.S. Presidents to Escalate, or Engage in Pre-Emptive War Policies! As Marvin Gaye sang "Whats Goin' On?
And Why does a Peace Candidate become a War Time President?
I thought that The New Millennium was supposed to be Non-Militaristic, and A Culturally Evolved Time Period!
I, for one, am Tired of All the Excuses, and Rational for War! Even the Leaders of the Western Industrialized Nations appear to be Content, Not to Send any more Troops to participate in Combat Related Situations, in the New Escalation of War in Afghanistan. So, Why are "We" there?
We've been told by President Obama, to Drive out the Taliban. That sounds logical, but then, Why have "We" waited for So Long to do this? I thought that "We" Won that War already!
And, as of Late, I haven't Seen, or Heard the White House Press Corps Claiming that the New Escalation is Directly Related to Capturing Bin Laden, which would Make Sense, to me!
So, What is it all about? To Prevent Terrorists from Attacking the U.S.?
Or, is this simply about Poppy Seeds, Oil, Geography, and Global Strategies!
Whatever the Reasoning is, I have a Few Questions to Pose to the U.S. Government, and President Obama, and His Administration; I would like to Know, Is Peace Too Much to Ask for?
Isn't anyone Interested in this Idea in the U.S. Congress?
Aren't "We the People" entitled to a Say in Our Governments Course of Action? Don't "We" Deserve a Change in the Course of Action, and Policies, initiated by the Bush/Cheney Administration?
Truly, Is Peace Too Much to Ask for! Doesn't The World Deserve it? Peace at Last!
John Lennon sang "Give Peace a Chance," and when You, sincerely, consider this Idea, isn't it a Wonderful Thought!
After All of the Years of War that "We" have been Engaged in!
After All of the Lives that have been Lost. Many of them, Lost in Vain! Such as in The Vietnam War!
So, Why Not, Give Peace a Chance?
I would advise, that it is Time for this Course of Action to be Acted Upon, and, Immediately!
Why? Because then, The U.S. Government, and the Global Nations could Seriously Embark upon a New Course of Action, and Policy, to Eliminate Poverty, Starvation, and Homelessness! And in doing so, Save Millions of Lives!
How? By using the Funds designated to Fight Wars, and Use these Same Funds to Invest in a Peace Time Economy!
Which would give them No Excuse for Not Providing us with, A Universal Health Care Program, and Free Education, for Everyone! Every Citizen of the United States of America, and The World! I'm sure that, the IMF wouldn't mind Contributing to such a Meaningful Cause!
Why Not! Its already being Provided for, in the Western Industrialized Nations, so, Why Not in the U.S., and Althrough-out The World!
What's to Prevent this from Happening?
"We" Definitely Need a Change in Our Priorities, that Seems Obvious to Most Everyone! The System is Broken, that, also, Seems Obvious to Everyone!
So, Why Not show some Real Humanity towards the Citizens of this Great Country. It is "a Government of The People," isn't it!
Why Not! Isn't Life, as Precious as Death!
Isn't the Lives of Our Children, and Their Families Worth, at least, as Much, or More than a Stealth Bomber, or a Spy Satellite!
Isn't is Time "We Gave Peace a Chance!" Is that Too Much to Ask For?
If "We" continue to Follow this Course of War, "We" are going to begin Wondering, Who are the Bad Guy's? And, Who are the Good Guy's?
Especially, when the Actions, and Policies of our, supposed, Allies, and Enemies, all end up Causing New Acts of Terror,War, and Genocide!
As of Late, I've begun thinking that,there is Less than Six Degrees of Separation between all of us. I've come to the Belief that, there is, but, One! And, It is Peace versus War!
Voices of Reason, and Peacemakers, whomever, and Wherever You May be on this the Third Planet from the Sun, Is it Too Much To Ask for, a World Living in Peace, and Harmony with Itself, and with One Another! Is this Too Much to Ask for?

There Must be a Song that "We" can All Sing Together. A Song of Sharing! A Song of Peace! A Song of Kindness! A Song of Hope!
There Must be Something that Brings Us All Together, as One People, and One World!
Why? Because the Time To Move Forward towards a Universal Evolution of All Sentient Beings is Now!
There is No Time to Wait, or Hesitate, The Time to Act, is Now!
Its Time to Move Forward, and, in doing so, Erase the Conditioned Barriers that Continue to Manipulate, and Control Us!
Its Time to Move Forward, and, in doing so, Let Our Actions Transcend the World of Politics, that Continues to Impede Us. Remember that The System is broken!
Its Time to Create a New World, that Includes Every Sovereign State, However, A New World that Provides a Home for Each and Every Citizen of The Earth!
Why should any Man, Women, or Child Be Without a Home, or Meal!
This is The Twenty-First Century, The New Millennium, Why should anyone Die of Poverty, or Starvation!
The Earth is Rich in Resources, Rich in Wealth, and, Rich in Free Enterprise, so, Why should any Man, or Woman Be without Employment!
Why can "We" not Share the Wealth and Prosperity of this Planet, Humanistically and, in Equanimity!
Its Time to Care for those who are in Need!
And, Its Time to Rise above the Fruitless Acts of War, Crime, and Violence!
Its Time to Embrace the Innocent, and Protect Them from Dictators, Tyrants, and Sophists!
Its Time to Reach Out to Those who are Less Fortunate, and Can No Longer Care for Themselves, or Their Families, Due to the Transgressions against Humanity that have, for Far Too Long, Gone Unpunished by The United Nations!
Its Time to Touch the Hearts and Souls of The Many who have Lost Their Children, (Due to a Lack of Health Care) and Feed and Heal The World!
Its Time to Move Forward towards a World of Peace and Harmony for One and All!
And, Its Time to Let Go of a System that is, Quite Simply, Dysfunctional, and Does Not Work!
Its Time to Change the Borders that Shape the Sovereign States of This Earth, to Reach Beyond Nationalities, Races, and Creeds! Thereby Creating a World of Inclusion, and Not Exclusion!
Its Time to Believe in Something more than Diamonds and Gold, or, Fame and Fortune!
Its Time to Be One World, One People, and, One Nation, of this The Third Planet from The Sun!
"We" All Live Parallel Lives, in this Universe, that can have a Positive Effect upon One Another, and, Its Time that "We" Realize the Greater Importance of this!
Voices of Reason, and Peacemakers wherever, and whomever You may be, Be of Good Courage, and Soulful Spirit, The Time to Move Forward is Now!

I am Totally Fed Up with the U.S. Government and President Obama's Administration. Our Government is supposed to Operate on Democratic Principles, and Ideals, but, Actually it does not!
Nor is it a Republic, although "We" do have the Vote.
However, what "We" are in Reality is a Capitalistic Oligarchy!
I invite You to Take a little time to do Your Own Due Diligence, and then Decide for Yourself. However, it is Very Important to do so, Especially during this Time Period filled with Sociological, and Political Illusions, and Delusions!
And, to continue, in a slightly different Vain, although Totally Compatible with my Train of Thought, is this Question; When are the Funds from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act going to be Completely Distributed?
Doesn't anyone in the Obama Administration Read the Newspapers, or Recognize The Sign of The Times.
Our Country has a 9.5 UN-Employment Rate! Which in itself is Totally Ludicrous!
Why? Because, aren't "We" the Most Powerful, and Richest, supposed, Democracy in the World?
And, Why was Vice President Biden in Iraq?
Why not, Send one of our Five Star Generals from the Pentagons
Joint Chiefs of Staff, instead!
I'm sure that Our Armed Forces would be Very Appreciative of this Gesture of Support, and Unanimity by Our Generals!
And then, Vice President Biden, and President Obama would be Free to Visit the Neighborhoods of the U.S. Middle Class,
Tent Cities, Urban Ghettos, and, Towns and Villages that are Struggling to Survive, Due to the Financial, and Credit Crises, and Give these Families some Real Encouragement, and Hope for Their Futures!
As well as, Provide Them with the Recovery and Re-Investment Act Funds that could, For the Most Part, Save Lives and Homes, and What little Dignity there is Left for "We the People" to Share with Our Families, and with Each other!
And, Finally, I am Completely Fed Up with President Obama and his Administrations Plans to Escalate the War in Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
Doesn't anyone Remember when He was Campaigning for the Democratic Parties Nomination, against Hilliary Clinton, that He told Us that He would Bring Home Our Troops, from Iraq!
He didn't say that He was Planning to Re-Mission (His Word!) Them to Afghanistan, did He!
Then, He was the Shining Hope, and Darling, of the Peace Movement, and Change. Well, Enough is Enough! I'm Tired of all the Half Truths, Semantics, and Rhetoric, that "We the People" have been told, However, so Eloquently! Enough is Enough!
Try to Tell an Adolescent Child, Why, They are Living in a Homeless Shelter, with Their Parents, and other Siblings?
Or, Why They have Lost Their Home Due to the Mortgage, Credit, and Financial Crisis?
Try to Tell a Young Child, Why Their Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Uncle, Aunt, or Cousin has Died in an Endless Cycle of War, that the U.S. of A, has been Engaged in!
Its all gotten to a Point where it is all Too Much!
Much Too Much, and Enough is Enough!

If the Global News Medias Blitzkrieg focused, Their Spotlight, on the Genocide in DARFUR, Sudan, and The Congo, as They have Done Covering the Death of Michael Jackson, the World would see the Horrendous Situation that, Unfortunately, and Tragically, Continues to Exist there!
Michael was a Great Artist, there is Absolutely No Doubt of this, in any one's Estimation, However, I believe that He would be Shocked at the News Coverage, and Sensation, that His Death has Caused, in Relationship to the Lack of Coverage that Has been Given to The Genocide taking place in Africa.
It, seriously, makes me wonder what Value, the Global News Media places on the Lives of All Sentient Beings, or, One Nation of People living under a Violent State of Duress, and, or, the Survival of this Planet, Versus the Life, and Death of a Global Superstar?
And, Day in and Day out it still continues. I love seeing Michaels Videos and listening to His Music, But, is His life any more Precious than the Millions who have Died in Vain in DARFUR, Sudan, and The Congo?
I ask this Question , Because, it is Obvious that the GNM thinks so!
It is Obvious, By their Coverage of Michael's Death, that His Life is One Thousand Times More Valuable than a Whole Nation of Men, Women, and Children who have been Raped, Kidnapped, Displaced from Their Families and Homes, and, Killed at the Mercy of the Tyrants who Continue to Denigrate, Control and Subjugate them to whatever their Whims and Merciless Desires may be!
The coverage of Michael's Death, by the GNM, Dwarfs in Comparison, the News Coverage being Given to the Wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and the Global War on Terrorism!
Do They Care, Have They No Soul? Is the News just about Ratings, Celebrities, and Money? It would seem so!
Why haven't They Spoken out More Forcefully about the Concerns of "We the People?" Such as; Poverty, Homelessness, the Cost of Educating our Children, Healthcare, Environmental Issues that Threatens all of Our Lives, and Our Planets Survival, and, On and On the List of Our Concerns continues to Grow!
It Appears that the GNM would rather have us Exist in a World of Constant Turmoil, than Help us Live in a World of Global Harmony and Peace!
Voices of Reason, and Global Peacemakers who are Concerned with the Lack of Concern the Global News Media continues to Display, in Regards to The Plight of "We the People," of this Planet Earth, Make Your Voices Heard over the Din of a Global News Media that is Deaf, Blind, and UN-Responsive to the Cries of Children who are Defenseless to an Evil, and Soulless State of Depravity that Eats at Their Very Innocent, Hearts, Minds, and Souls!

The U.S. Congress has, again, passed a Bill, the Emergency War Bill, to be exact, allowing the Obama Administration to Spend 106 Billion Dollars to Fight Wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Incredible!
In addition to that, the Obama Administration has asked Congress to give them 108 Billion Dollars to give to the IMF, to Bail Out Banks, in Central and Eastern Europe.
And yet, Here in the U.S. of A. Poverty, and UN-employment continue to Grow at an Alarming Rate, and "We the People," who are The Backbone, and Heart and Soul of this Country, are Still Waiting for the Funds, that the Democratic Party Pushed through, and was Passed by Congress in the Last Stimulus Bill, Re-named the "Recovery and Reinvestment Act," (because of the Backlash of American Opinion against All of the Bail Outs) To Be Released!
The Banks have been Bail Out, The Financial Institutions have been Bailed Out, The Mortgage Companies have been Bailed Out, I could Go On and On, however, my Point is, when will the Obama Administration get the Point, that its "We the People," the Citizens of the United States of America, who are in Need of Financial Assistance!
What Kind of Change is this?
And, Who is in Charge of this Inept Money Management in the U.S. Government?
Secretary of Treasury Timothy Geithner? The Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke? White House Economic Advisor Larry Summers? President Barack Obama (of course not)?
And, Who is Overseeing the Distribution of the Funds from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act?
And, I thought that Vice President Biden was Overseeing the Distribution of Funds to Help the Middle Class? Well, Where is the Money!
It seems, to me, that Everything has Changed, and Yet, It All Appears to be the Same ole Same Ole, and, as usual, Nothing gets Done Result!
It, also, Appears that Incompetence and Greed has Eaten Away at the Financial System, and the U.S. Government, to such a Degree that it is An American Tragedy that Continues to Permeate, and Have an Intolerably, Negative Affect on All the Lives, and Families of "We the People!"
I, sincerely, Believe that it is Time for Extraordinary Measures to Take Place!
It is Obvious that "We" need, Not exactly a Kitchen Cabinet, but something similar in the World of Privatization, more like "A Living Room Evolutionary Group of Important Personages," to Come Forth, and Bring about the "Real Change" that is Needed in the U.S.
A "Real Change," that is the "Real Thing," this Time around, to Make a "Real Difference" in Our Lives.
A Difference that can Save Lives, Save Homes, and Save the Fate of Our Future Generations, from Inheriting an Insurmountable World of Debt, and a Malaise of the Spirit that is UN-Imaginable!
So, I Call Forth all The Power Brokers to Act on Our Behalf. On behalf of "We" the People", Not just to Talk the Talk, but, to Walk a Mile in Our Shoes, and Do Something!
"They" have the Money, Power, and Influence to Move the Global News Media, to Focus, their attention on The Plight of "We the People", and even More Importantly to Focus the Global Governments to Once and For All, Erase Poverty, Totally, from the Surface of this Planet!
And Maybe, even Put an End to this Endless Cycle of War that the U.S. has Embarked upon! Remember, the War in Iraq had nothing to do with our War on Terrorism, it was the previous Administrations Personal Vendetta against Sadam Hussein!
Too Many Lives are Being Lost! Too Many Tears have Fallen, and Continue to Fall like a Macro Cosmic Monsoon that is Drenching the Whole World in its Wake!
So, this Blog goes out to Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, The Rockefeller's, Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Barbra Streisand, Bono, Former President William Jefferson Clinton, and All of the Members of The Global Billion Dollar Club, and Global Celebrities, Come Together (as John sang) and, Act on Behalf of "We the People!"
"We" can Not Afford to Wait until Another Year goes by! The Mantra "We" need to Sing Over and Over is, "Act Here and Now!" This what "We" all need to Sing to Bring about a Real Change, and Hope to The World!
Voices of Reason, and Peacemakers, whomever You May Be, Make No Mistake, the Time to Act, Peacefully, and Forcefully is Now!

When I think of the Great History that "We the People" have Inherited as American Citizens, it Shocks, Appals, and Amazes me!
Now, I am a Spiritual Empiricist, and a Student of History, so, You can Imagine how I felt when the U.S. Senate, finally, Apologized to African Americans for Kidnapping their Ancestors, and Bringing them to this Country, and then Enslaving them! Immediately, I thought, to myself, its about time!
But then, I began thinking more and more about this Tragic Subject, of Slavery, and it Deeply Disturbed me.
Why? Because an Apology just doesn't do it, for me. It may be a Good First Step, but, it definitely is not Sufficient Enough to Qualify as Being a Genuine Apology!
Why? Because of All the Images that Flowed through my Minds Eye, of the Millions of Men and Women, and Children whose Innocent Blood is, Now, Forever Mingled in with the Sacred Earth of this Land. And, Oh the Shame of it!
Yes, The U.S. of A. is, still, a Very Young Nation, in Relationship to the World, However it is Necessary that "We" take Time to Process, Learn from, and Purge Ourselves of the Bloodied Past, that "We" have, Unfortunately Inherited.
And, before "We" can Learn From Our Past Experiences, First of All, "We" have to Be, in Detail, Apprised of it! And Taught it, without Diluting, or Censoring it.
So that, Each and Every American Citizen, can Find out for Themselves, the Answers that will Propel them, Together, as a Great Soul Force, and Society into The Future.
This is Important if "We" are to continue on a Path of Being a Purposeful, and Sincere Nation of People! It will, also, Help us to Build Character, in Ourselves, based on Solar Axioms!
And, it will Help Balance Out all the Fluff that "We" have been Taught in School!
When You realize that Women were, only, given the Right to Vote August 26, 1920, You realize, just, how Slow the U.S. Government has been to Grant Equal Rights to All of its Citizens, No Matter what Race, Color, Gender, or Creed!
And, It is of the Utmost Importance for Those of Us, whose Ancestors were Enslaved, Raped, Murdered, Assassinated, and Given No Hope for Survival, unless By Existing in a Subservient State of Being, Be Given an Opportunity to Purge Themselves of this Negative State of Unconscious/Mental State of Conditioned Reality.
And lastly, an Open Discussion of Our Countries History, Should be Taught, and Discussed in Schools, and, of course, in Our Homes!
Then "We" as a People can Truly begin to Take, One, of the Many Small Steps needed to Make a Quantum Leap in Our Sociological, Intellectual, Universal and Spiritual Development, and Evolution into The New Millennium!
Voices of Reason, Teachers, Parents, and All who are Peacemakers, and Conservators of this Planet Earth, can "We" Remain Quiet in this Time Period, When The Need for Knowledge is so Very Important? No, "We" Can Not!
Speak Out, and Stand up for Truth, Peace, Harmony, and a Way of Life that Embraces All Sentient Beings!

You don't have to be a Visionary to see that there is another Crises Looming over The U.S.A, in the New Millennium!
Why? Because without a Coherent United Society, that is Evolving on a Evolutionary Path, the U.S. of A. will end up being a Grand Dream, that Never Awakens in the Twenty-First Century!
To be more Specific, the Serious State of Sociological, and Economic Conditions that Exist amongst Families in the U.S. are Forcing Changes in the Family Structure that is more than Dysfunctional, it is an Evolving Tragedy in the Making!
How can Children obtain the Parental Symbiosis, Love, Values and Ethics, Enduring Friendship and Joy filled Companionship, Inspiration and Sense of Being Here and Now, without having The Quality Time Needed with Their Parents!
As You are Acutely Aware of, Due to the Current Global Financial Crises, both Parents are Forced to Work, whether they want to or Not!
And, Sometimes They have No other Choice, but to Work at Two Jobs, at the same time, or Perform Double Shifts to Make Ends meet!
Simply put, to Pay their Bills, Buy Clothing, School Supplies, Food, and if Possible, alittle bit extra for Home Entertainment, or Buy a Toy for their Children, or...Go to A Movie, together!
To Dine Out, is Another Matter!
Why? Because first of All, Parents have to find a Trustworthy Sitter, for their Children, and then, Be Able to Pay them!
And then, Be Able to Afford to Pay for a Dinner, in a Pleasant Restaurant, with Good Service, and an Enjoyable Ambiance, and Menu that an Adult Married Couple would enjoy going to.
Dinner with Children is, Totally, Another matter. Why? Because of the Financial Crises and Sociological Behavioral Patterns that exist in these Modern Times.
We've become a Fast Food Society! It's Cheaper, Quick, and Conducive to the Way of Life, Today's Families are Drifting in.
And again, there's Very Little Quality Time Together! And, Unfortunately, if "We" continue on this Path it can only Lead Us further along into a State of Utter Dissolution!
I can not Stress this Point Strongly Enough, how Important it is that Our Families, from the Birth of their First Child, Must Spend More Time Together! Not just Quality Time! More Time!
More Time for Parents to Learn who Their Children are, and More Time for Children to Enjoy, and Learn from Being with Their Parents!
And while PBS, Daycare, and Nursery Schools are Important and Helpful, They are Not the Primary, nor should They be, the Primary Care Giver! Parents are!
But, the Question is, how can "We" Change this Pattern, when "We" continue to Live in a Broken System that Demands Forced Labor from its Citizens?
Most of Us are Working to Survive! "We" used to Work towards the Achievement of Our Goals in Life. Or, possibly even to Achieve a Dream that "We" Secretly Hoped for.
However, Today, a Job, Practically any Job will Suffice for the Majority of Us, and Hopefully, One with Benefits (that "We" can Afford!).
Is there any Surprise Why TV Programs such as "Millionaire," or "American Idol" have Formats that are Popular all over the World!
And, Because of the Scandals in the Church, and, in the Worlds of Politics, and Finance, there are Few Examples that Our Children can Look Up to.
This is Why the Idea of Change is so Important!
It has benefited President Obama, but, Unfortunately, it hasn't Benefited "We the People!"
The Obama Administration and The U.S. Congress talk about, and Debate over, the Need for a Healthcare System, but No One tells Us, How it's to be paid for.
In the Meantime, Tens of Millions of Americans do Not Have Insurance for Themselves or Their Families!
Canada has it! Europe and The United Kingdom has it! So, Why doesn't the Citizens of the United States have it?
We can Afford to Fight in Three Wars. Pay for the Construction, and continued Maintainance of the International Space Station. Bail Out The Banks, Financial Institutions, and Mortgage Companies, and Yet, They still Procrastinate over How to Pay for our Healthcare.
My Main Point is that Our families Need Help! Now!
If "We" do Not get the Assistance "We" Need, the U.S. will continue to Drift along as a World Power, but its Citizens will Suffer Greatly for it!
And the Price "We" will Pay is the Loss of Our Most Treasured Gift, which is Our Children, for Generation upon Generation to Come!
And, Family Life will continue to Be as Dysfunctional as it is Today! Only More so!
Voices of Reason, and Peacemakers, I Implore You to Closely Examine this Looming Crises in the Making, because "We" have to Bring it to the Forefront of The National, and International Media, if there is to Be any "Real" Change in the Course of this Sociological Path of Destruction that "We" are Presently on.
Change Must Come for Our Mothers and Fathers, Brothers and Sisters, Grand Parents, Aunts and Uncles, Nieces and Nephews, and for Our Children, if "We are to Survive as a Family, a True Family of Humanity!
