My Revolution Page

This is a page that has taken a lot of time to add to my website. Politics is always an issue that stirs up a lot of emotion and there is even little agreement on many issues within the Spiritual/Pagan community. However with the recent events of our time and the feeling time is running out for individuals to be able to express their beliefs freely. This page is more then just my need to express my beliefs but its an attempt to spread a little common sense to a society that has seemed to have lost its way.

In reading this page those that disagree with me will call me many things, Rebel, Infidel, Subversive, Unpatriotic, Troublemaker and even Terrorist. Well maybe I am all of these things, maybe I am none of them. Its all a matter of perspective.

I feel I do present a unique viewpoint, however much of what I believe is well researched and/or based on my belief that no one person or group has the right to control another.

Much of what I believe comes from many sources such as Libertarian Socialism, Communism, Marxism and Democracy. I have many theories from everyone from Thomas Jefferson to Karl Marx.

I don’t feel I fit into either American political party. I am not “Right Wing” and I am not quite “Left Wing”. I feel I am not part of the system at all because (here’s the shock) I don’t believe in the American political system at all or for that matter I don’t believe in the political system of any modern nation. There are countries on this planet that are a lot worse off then the United States then there are a lot of countries that are about the same, but this idea of American superiority is an illusion, a steadfast piece of propaganda that is shoved down the throats of the general public to justify anything our government chooses to do in the international community. But before we examine any modern issues lets look at America’s past, the foundation it was built on that in and of itself disproves that America is a shining example to the rest of the world. First lets forget the romantic notion that is taught in our schools that Chris Columbus discovered America. This is the first of many America myths. The truth is Columbus never stepped foot on the North American continent. He actually landed in the Caribbean where he and his people became a repressive occupation force over the natives of those islands. He and the men under his command raped both the resources of the land and the native women. They murdered the natives for sport and not just the men but the women and children as well. Documents from that time show that the members of this murderous mob found most entertaining to murder pregnant women because they were killing two on the natives at once. So not only do we teach our children this man was simply the guy who discovered America but we also have a national, Federal holiday to celebrate Columbus, a serial killer,
Now with the thought in the minds of the European people of a new world, who comes over across the ocean to set up the foundations of this country.
Not the best and brightest but fundamentalist Christians, people who claimed hey were looking for religious freedom but in reality simply couldn’t get along with people of other religions. Then the others where forced over here these whom had lost all hope where they lived because they could make a living, in other words the homeless. Then much of the criminal population was shipped over here. Not the best stock to start with.
When they first got here they found the land was already occupied by the Native Americans. This did not stop the new settlers from setting up camp and start building their make shift settlements and send back to England for more people. Where as the Indians found this a bother, they were willing to share with the new white settlers for the most part, Now some Indians did attack the new settlers, but honestly what would you do if someone came in and started building a town in your backyard. Not to mention the new settlers were guilty of killing the Indians when they got in the way.
As this new world grew the new settlers took more of the land that belong to the natives, drove more of the natives away from their homes, and slaughtered the both the natives livestock and the natives themselves. Today every element of our society condemns other countries that try and commit genocide and I agree, but this country was founded on genocide of the Indian Nations completely killing off some of them. Every America is guilty of being a thief for simply living on land that doesn't rightfully belong to us. We may not have stolen it ourselves but we are still in possession of stolen property. Now a little criticism for Native Americans. It is sicken going to Pow-Wows or other Indian gatherings and seeing them fly the American flag. For the sins Americans have perpetrated against you, you should never forgive or forget. To see an Indian fly an American flag is the same as a Jew carrying a Nazi flag.
As society and culture grew these new Americans found they need help to build the founding stones so did they turn to their own hands and backs to do the endless toiling to do the work, NO! Did they turn to paid laborers to do the work, some but for the most part, NO! They used the black man, they bought and sold human beings. They used slave labor and most white Americans can’t even begin to understand what it means to have been a slave. They can’t conceive of what it’s like to be stripped of you identity, having a new one forced on you. To work tirelessly everyday under threat of punishment. To be whipped and or beaten daily. To have your rights as a human, beaten out of you to live in humiliation everyday. To have your spouse, your children ripped from you and sold off to where you would never see them again. To be treated as an object not even as a human being. To have your “master” rape you at his will to use you as a sex toy.
These white male slave owners made fortunes on this behavior, on the back of the slaves. To this day a majority of the riches families in America can trace their money back to the Plantation owners and other merchants that were slave owners and were it is true that the present ancestors have nothing to do with slavery they are still criminal for retaining the money that was earned with the blood of others. Now we claim to have set the slaves free after the “Civil War.” But this didn’t stop the burden the blacks had to endure. American’s still treated them as secondary citizen. They were still under paid, they were force to live separately from whites. Their schools and medical facilities were kept in low grade conditions. It wasn’t until the 1960’s until the blacks got any kind of rights and civil rights. This took close to 200 years to accomplish and it didn’t stop there, but we’ll talk more about that later.
How can you look at this and just say that was the past. It’s a dark and horrible foundation to be part of this country’s beginnings.
Now the “Founding Fathers” of this country had a wonderful idea when they laid down the original government but they did not have the sense to put their own words into action. These men wrote that “All men are created equal.” But they owned slaves. They also didn’t include women in recognizing people as citizens. So they wrote several documents proclaiming all sorts of freedoms for citizens. But, the only people who were allowed these rights were rich white land owners. So trusting the words of these founding documents must be held suspect. Each of the “Founding Fathers” made hundreds of comments on what role religion played in the founding of the country and for each of them their comments contradicted other of their comments. But despite what any of them said they came to this land to find the freedom to practice their religion and even put it in the founding document that the Government could not favor one religious belief over another. Now through the history of this country many people have translated this in many different ways. All of which are ignorant. This wasn’t meant to be interpreted in anyway. These were very simple men, very simple and this amendment means exactly what it says, period. Only small minded people like the American public could make anything more from it. People will always find a way to take something that was said or articles of evidence and twist it fir their own use and can ramble for hours on how their view is right and how this and that backs up what they say. That's the nature of the power hungry, from Politicians to Ministers to the head of large corporations. They can all find ways to justify what they say and what they do. What's worse is when they make large groups of others believe it. Remember people a popular lie is still a lie. No matter how many people believe something and no matter how much they believe it a falsehood is still a falsehood. Belief doesn't change it.
So, we fought wars against the Spanish, the French, the British and the Indigenous people to occupy this land from sea to shinning sea. The purple mountain majesty are stained with human blood. We killed and destroyed anyone who stood between us and what we wanted. Today we ignore is all, as it has been paved over. Next time you are driving down the highway think about how many bodies lay beneath that asphalt. Human being who never did anything but try and protect what rightfully belonged to them or those who worked for the power elite to support their families.
Despite these crimes America continues to grow. We hunted several species of animals to the brink of extinction such as the buffalo. We continued to use a slave class to build our cities in the great west and to build the railways that connected them. The African Americans, the Orientals, the Indians we weren't murdering, the Mexicans (who were victims of the Spanish missionaries, but that’s another history.) and we even made those of Irish decent members of this slave class. Men, women and children who were worked for little money and treat like slave. In these times groups formed liked the Ku Klux Klan. A group of un-evolved, simple-minded, cowards that hid beneath hoods and used religion to further their cause. It's fun how most evil terrorist always hide themselves beneath head coverings. These men murdered, Blacks, Jews and others they considered unworthy of their sick beliefs. To make matters worse in most states in the Southern United States very little was done to stop these low-lifes. From post Civil War days to present day these groups have existed and murdered fellow and have spread hate. So as we talk about the corner stones this country was build on we are talking not about great accomplishments we are talking about. Hate, murder, genocide, slavery and greed. This is the beginnings of this country.
Then came the Industrial Revolution. We began to pave over the mistakes of the past. We began to pump pollutants in the air and water ways. Poisons that made and still make their way into our bodies. We began to destroy the top soil in over farming , destroying entire ecological systems with strip mining and cutting down entire forests. We continued to build continued to take and destroy land that wasn't ours. Land we stole. Wars came WW1 and WW2 these for as far as I can tell were just wars worth fighting. We did do it to protect innocent lives. Now it is true these wars were also fought to protect the financial interest of the power elite, the good that was done far out ways the greed issues of these wars. Some may disagree with my opinion on this but if you wish to debate it feel free to contact me I am always up for a debate, to learn new things and I do admit when I'm wrong. There were however some horrid side effects of these wars such as the beginning of the nuclear age that has infected the land and it people with radiation to this day.
Also because of a closed-minded, half-wit, uneducated moron name McCarthy this country was sent into a scare of a political system that was different from ours. Communism was made evil and were it is true Stalin was an evil leader, to demonize and different political system that Stalin himself corrupted from it's true form was nothing more then a national scare tactic. Also because of this scare tactic, religion was made a bigger part of the U.S. government then it was ever meant to be. More then even the Founding Fathers ever meant it to be. It was this time, the late 40's and 50's that things like "One nation under God". was inserted in the pledge of allegiance. It was originally written in it and the people whom said it before that were not any more or less patriotic then those afterwards. Also the it was this time period the words "In God We Trust". Was add to money. Fun how the Christian God to which this refers to is always in need of money. But to be serious this didn't make America a better country, it didn't make a more moral country or a more religious country. Many Christians try and state these times were more pure and the type of indecent behavior didn't exist because of these things and because we had prayer in schools. People how say this are just flat stupid and uneducated. The types of behaviors did exist and in the same rations as it does today. The only difference between today and those times are, back then it wasn't talked about, songs weren't sung about it and it wasn't reported on the news. The only reason it seems more prevalent these days is because of these factors and because there are 4 to 5 times more people in this country, so there is 4 to 5 times more people doing it. It is no longer hidden in closets and actually this is better nothing has ever been solved from hiding it away. Back to history. Greed now became the driving force in our society, to obtain material things became more important then people or the very planet we live on. The ownership class used TV, radio and the movie to convince people they needed to strive for money and power and nothing else mattered. This was use to make people more productive and were less then 1% of the population benefited from this mind set, it did begin to dumb down the American public. It allowed the super rich and powerful to do as they wished without any barriers. They the Korean War came the first of the wars fought to protect the interest of the wealthy and to try and repress the spread of a political idea that ended the idea of money and class, which was a major threat the power elite's way of life.
This was a bit of an awakening for people that wars were no longer being fought to protect the people or to free innocents. It was all about political idealisms and to protect capitalism. They saw young men dying, innocent civilians dying for these things and saw that it was wrong.
Not too many years later another war came along that was a turning point in history. The Vietnam War. It was during this war that a great number of people started to wake up and saw that these wars were wrong and took to the streets to protest it and it was partially because of public outrage the American government decided to pull out of this war. This time, the late 60's, early 70's was also a time when those whom had been repressed for so long rose up and fought for freedom. Women rose up to break down the twisted ideas of traditional gender roles. Blacks revolted against social bigotry and laws based on racial hate. It was during this time that these chains began to be loosened. What is truly a sad state for America is the fact that this had to happen at all. That so many Americans still viewed minorities and females as second class citizens at the later half of the 20th century. What is even sadder is that at that time the chains were only loosened to this day they still have not been broken completely. The power elite still treat minorities as slaves and women as property. Another sad point is many minorities and women either accept or are blind these subordinate roles.
There was quite a bit of progress made during the decades to follow, many people have cast off the shadows they had hidden behind and proudly pronounced who they were and were empowered by it. But still today the struggle continues.
Since the early 70's Americans have become increasingly materialistic. The pursuit of money, power and possessions have come to fore front of social priorities. Selfishness has become the norm. The mainstream public no longer strives to create a superior society that benefits all it's citizens. Instead most have created bubbles where only their family, friends, jobs and hobbies exist. Anything outside the self illusions people delude themselves with no longer matters to them. Anything that differs from their viewpoint becomes a threat to them and their way of life and they strike out against it even if there is no real threat or even if what they believe is not based on fact. A majority of Americans have proven that if something goes against their delusion of reality, there is no amount of facts, evidence, statistics or hardcore research will change their minds. Facts and truth have become irrelevant to them. This behavior applies to everything from politics to religion even to simple human behavior.
This doesn't just apply to the everyday person but to how government is run. Our domestic policies favor only the power elite, multi-national corporations that value money and power above the people that and the machinery that make these companies operate. Our foreign policies cause other countries to hate Americans above any other nation. These policies rape the natural resources from other countries and enslave their populations as labor. Our policies interfere with the will of the people of other countries and how they are run. Our government supports those leaders who will act as puppets that will do their will and support the power elite. These policies and selfish and self serving for less then 1% of the American population.
After September 11th 2001 the government of the United States has since set out on an agenda of taking control not only of it's own citizens but one of international imperialism. The rights of American citizens are slowly being eroded away in the name of fighting terrorism. The saddest part is the government has created the illusion that these changes are necessary in this fight. Nothing could ever be more untrue. Where it would be true there would need to be changes to fight any terrorist threat the taking away of personal freedoms are not among them. These changes have been made for the pure reason of turning America into a Theocracy put into effect by a presidential administration run by religious zealots who believe a disturbingly twisted version of an ancient mythology.
Their agenda also includes an imperialistic take over of key area of the planet. They create fictional situation to invade and take control of other countries to fulfill their own purposes. Among which are the thief of natural resources to increase the wealth base of the already super rich power elite, to try and fulfill the ramblings of ancient prophecies of a man made belief system, and to cover up any evidence that would contradict their beliefs.
Their actions have done nothing more then create a movement in foreign countries even stronger then before that seek to overpower American imperialism. It has deeply divided the citizen of America and turn anyone whom disagrees with them into criminals. Any sense of true democracy, freedom or justice have been destroyed, leaving on a country is nothing more then a fascist police state. Many think that using the word fascist is a bit extreme or is simple name calling but if anyone would bother to look up the definition or fascism and the factors that make up a fascist government they would see that everything that is taking place in America today fits into those factors. So history and the facts are on my side here.
Yes there are many countries that are worse then the U.S. but what America has been in the past and is becoming shows it is in no stretch of the imagination "the greatest country on earth".
Those who disagree with me say I'm a threat to the very fabric of American values.
So from the very pages of history we see that these "American Values" include: hatred, bigotry, murder, slavery, genocide, oppression, greed, selfishness, censorship, sexism, homophobia, intolerance and mind control.
So I would have to say YES I am a threat to these values and will fight against them in a battle to reclaim our rights as individuals, to reclaim our rights to live in a free and just society and reclaim our planet from greedy criminal corporations that are raping our natural resources and destroying the very planet we live on. This fight must not only be in this country but world wide against anyone who would oppress humanity and impose those same sort of values. They can stop one of us, they can stop whole groups of us, but they can never stop all of us. No matter what there must be and will be a global revolution so that humanity will one day truly live free from greed and tyranny. LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION.
