We Need A Revolution To Survive!

December 27, 2003 [HouseofChing] It's Not just rhetoric - We Need a Revolution to Survive !

What do we do? It's not just rhetoric - we need a revolution to survive!

By John Kaminski

These are impossible questions, ones which I cannot answer. Perhaps one of you can.

What do we do when the very people supposed to be protecting us are actually harming us? Robbing us, poisoning us, deliberately asphyxiating us, putting things in our water that make us docile, giving us foods and medicines that make us sick, and in general preventing us from living our lives in what we believe is a normal manner.

What do we do when the society in which we live prevents us from being moral? Or from telling the truth as we see it? What do we do when our society encourages us not question statements that we know in our hearts to be lies?

What do we do when our TV and newspapers tell us lies but insist we should regard this information as truth? What do we do when the vast majority of people in our society accepts these lies as truths and ridicules us when we call these statements lies?

What do we do when we have a legitimate grievance and can't get it redressed without bribing somone? What do we do when we can't trust our courts? How are we to respond when we learn that a private company controls all of our money? Or that the government has the right to poison your baby before you take her home from the hospital?

What do we do when the leader of our country, the occupant of the most prestigious office in the world, is a pill-popping psychopath with no discernible personality whose favorite hobby is killing large numbers of people, either by signing death warrants to execute mentally defective miscreants or ordering airstrikes against innocent women and children tens of thousands of miles away? What do we do when all those around him, including the so-called political opposition, seem to agree with everything he says and does, and otherwise act as if this demented demagogue pathologically predisposed to obliterating the whole world is actually a normal human being?

It used to be the American way dictated if you didn't like the way the government worked, you could go to the polls and vote for an opposition candidate who promised to change things. What do we do when all the candidates who are running for every office are all basically saying the same thing and endorsing all the harmful things that are being done?

What do we do when the concept of one person, one vote has been completely destroyed by computerized voting machines that no one can verify, except the companies that own them, which are themselves owned by rich white men who support the man who got the votes that no independent agency is able to authenticate?

What do we do we when can't trust the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, or the medicines we take to make us well? How are we to regard these efforts to criminalize vitamins and other health foods when the doctors we go to prescribe medicines that are less effective than those beneficial substances they have worked so hard to ban?

What do we do when our nation decides to go into a state of permanent war, choosing hapless countries to attack and then obliterating them, then fleeces its own citizens with devious legislation that funnels billions of dollars to companies to reconstruct what we've just destroyed for reasons we later learn were transparent lies? How are we to regard such a country, such a group of men who would do such a thing to their fellow human beings?

And how are we to regard ourselves for believing and supporting such insane and inhuman policies? What do we do when the vast majority of American citizens refuses to even recognize that anything is out of whack? What do we do when government employees tinker with diseases in a laboratory, and then suddenly the whole country is stricken with a new kind of flu, one that kills children in Colorado and keeps everyone coughing indefinitely all across the nation? Why is it when you look up epidemics in history, you find that most of the recent ones occurred after vaccination campaigns? Why do you feel so uneasy when they tell you to get a flu shot? Or if you're in the military, when they tell you to get an anthrax shot?

Why does the American government seem so intent on destroying the lives of its own soldiers? Why do American soldiers seem so willing to shoot innocent women and children? Iraq or Afghanistan were never threats to America. Why do our children so eagerly shoot those people down like dogs? Is that what we really taught them to do in our humble homes? Is it? Are you absolutely sure we didn't? If we didn't, why do they?

What do we do when you can't get any public officials to comment on why there are all these strange cloud markings in the sky - some call them chemtrails - and so many people are sick with respiratory problems? Or perhaps it's the soot in the air, in increased amounts these days because air quality rules have been rolled back by the President who was elected on the basis of votes we were not allowed to recount.

What do we do when they tell us we have to rearrange our lives because of the threat of "terror"? These rearrangements, at least these days, are primarily based on the precedents set by the "terror" attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in which many thousands lost their lives in New York City and Washington, D.C. These "terrorists" have "terrorized" the world ever since, causing us to go to war in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere.

Who are these "terrorists?" Why has no evidence ever been presented linking them to 9/11? Why was the Afghanistan war planned before 9/11 if it was blamed on 9/11? Why was the war in Iraq blamed on weapons of mass destruction and connection to 9/11 when it was planned long before 9/11? Why didn't the government ever catch those responsible for the anthrax attacks, especially after the trail of suspicion led right back to government employees? Why didn't anybody in Congress read the legislation before voting for the initial Patriot Act? Why has nobody protested the nullification of our Constitutional rights? Especially when the so-called "terror" threatening our security is clearly a behind-the-scenes construction of our own intelligence agencies.

What do we do when the Vice President brings all the top oilmen in the country to his office to create a new energy policy, then they all fleece the citizens of California of billions of dollars in energy overcharges, the principal energy broker presides over the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history and is not prosecuted, a well-connected actor is elected governor of California to stop efforts to recover this stolen energy money, and the Vice President continues to draw a salary from the same company that receives billions of dollars in lucrative reconstruction contracts for rebuilding Iraq, which is the country we bombed on the basis of lies that were based on the "terror" that caused 9/11, for which they refuse to provide the evidence?

When you wave your American flag today, do you realize it means you are endorsing mass murder and exploitation all over the world? Do you realize the reasons for this demonic behavior are all lies? Do you realize America creates wars to stimulate profits, and has done this consistently for more than a hundred years?

How come so many of our own military servicepeople are returning from Iraq to America with really strange diseases? How come we use radioactive ammunition when we know it has made thousands sick? How come we give soldiers shots to prevent diseases but we won't tell them what is in those shots? How come the military doesn't desert when they learn all these things, and how come parents can be proud when they bury their children who died in a war that fought for reasons we now know to have been lies? What's up with that? What do we do when America moves all its best jobs overseas because of the cheaper labor? What are Americans supposed to do about that? Start their own businesses and keep their products here at home? Hmmm.

What do we do when we can't trust the cops? Whom do we call for help then? When we see our president committing obvious moral and legal crimes and then lying about them, whom do we call to have him arrested? What do we do when we mention this to opposition candidates and they don't answer us?

We can no longer afford to support a government that does not support its people! But what do we do? We need to begin meeting with small groups of like-minded people who are as aghast as we are to find out how to begin processes of how to arrest and prosecute our criminal leaders. This will be very difficult.

It's not just a matter of canvassing social clubs and political parties. Both categories are largely brain dead and irrelevant, mindless flag wavers interested more in eating and drinking than in actual freedom. Nor is it productive to stage mass rallies with fractured focuses, where the main message of fading freedom is lost amid a confusing welter of conflicting passions.

No, this requires the creation of new groups, ones devoted to real education and not coopted. Pay particularly attention to the word "coopted," and maybe extend it to "infiltrated." This is a situation that applies to militias and politically oriented environmental groups. Both are now under extreme scrutiny by the feds, who are armed with draconian new laws that permit them to throw you in jail for the most trivial reasons.

But the need to be very careful should not stop you from trying to discern and organize people who are genuinely interested in the principles of freedom, in maintaining the attitudes that could make America what we always hoped it would be, and ending this criminal caricature that it has become. At some point very soon, we all need to address our public officials, and determine if they are going to side with the people who are being oppressed or with the oppressors who are being bribed to fleece and shackle the people.

These are the questions we need to ask them:

. Why are there two sets of laws in this country, one for the poor that guarantees they will continue to live in poverty, and one for the rich, which assures they can get away anything as long as they pay the right person? Why is it that our Attorney General approves of the indefinite incarceration of innocent foreigners without having to present any evidence, yet refuses to investigate charges of treason, obstruction of justice, mega grand theft and mass murder against the rich and powerful men who have seized control of what was once a free country? Who will investigate law enforcement when the law enforcers have turned criminal? Why was Dick Cheney allowed to keep secret the master plan for robbing Californians of $11 billion?

. Why have all laws protecting the environment been repealed when we know the infusion of poisons into products is needlessly killing large numbers of people? Why are we deliberately fouling our air with poisonous chemtrails, and why is it no government official will say a thing about this?

. Why is there a deliberate obstruction created by Ashcroft to prevent ordinary people from finding out what their government is doing to them? Why are ingredients like flouride and aspartame permitted in what we consume when everyone knows they are poisoning us?

. Why are our schools turning out children who can't spell or think for themselves? And why does our government seek to take away money for those schools and give it to self-serving, thought-limiting religious schools, especially when the Constitution that used to be in force expressly prohibits such transparent favoritism?

The police state is here. Your rights have been taken away, one by one. It is now illegal to think for yourself. Just try to examine evidence showing the Germans never willingly gassed anyone during World War II. You can be thrown in jail just for trying. And knowing that, what does that tell you about the original question? Do you see anything wrong with outlawing certain thoughts? If you don't, then you probably don't have any questions about where you went to school, or what church you go to, and you also probably don't see any purpose in any of this I've just written.

Our reliance on mass media has dulled our minds, our reliance on prepackaged foods has anesthetized our senses and atrophied our bodies, and our reliance on establishment religion has shackled our spirits, and made us cogs in a mindless machine rather than the sensitive seeds in the soil we need to be to fulfill our human birthright.

We need to grow our own food, make our own clothes, live in our own houses. We need to break the backs of the bankers who control us with things we don't really need. What do we do with all this time our modern conveniences give us? We seek out more distractions to keep us separate from those we love. All these consumables we covet just make us hate ourselves more, because, deep down, we all know we're not doing what we're supposed to be doing.

What we're supposed to be doing is making a better world, making sure people are not suffering, making sure that we're not destroying the very things that keep us alive. We are not supposed to be increasingly alienating ourselves with false styles and transitory titillations that prevent us from nourishing the very things that nourish us. We are not supposed to be taking pills to make us feel better, we are supposed to be living lives that make us feel better.

The existing political structure in America is rotten to the core, fatally polluted by a private money supply that enables perverted patricians to retain their aristocratic power across the generations. Until this injustice is eliminated, and the power over money is returned to the people, nothing will be fixed, and the unjust wars will proliferate.

Instead of leading a more humane world into a new era of enlightenment, understanding and technological diversity, America is dragging the world backwards into a new Dark Ages where force of plunder is annihilating legitimate efforts toward reciprocal respect and cooperation.

Under present circumstances, there is no alternative to the mass dismissal and prosecution of the entire American government - the administration, the congress, the judiciary all must be indicted for criminal corruption. To do this, a massive campaign of recalibration needs to be undertaken. Starting at the local level, delegates to form a new government need to be chosen, preferably without political campaigns (and certainly without funded campaigns). These local delegates need to congeal at the state level, and begin the arduous task of reconstituting the federal government without political campaigns.

Once a temporary U.S. Senate is chosen by the states, new elections can be held for the House of Representatives, which then would choose a new Senate as a precondition for being able to hold a nationwide election for higher leadership positions. In the interim, a temporary administrative transition team would coordinate the operations of the federal government, once all the Cabinet-level leaders had been jailed. Who would be named to this team, and how it would be named, remain to be seen. Certainly political parties, military and religious leaders, unions, newspapers, bankers, lawyers and doctors should not be involved in this selection process. Or perhaps they all should. The one thing to be avoided is the dominance of any one segment of society over the entire government, as it is now by lawyers masquerading as professional politicians.

The only way to get a truly representative and functional government is to severely regulate the use of mass media in campaigning, enforce strict term limits for all offices, and to radically revise all laws governing banks. Usury must be abolished, and upper limits on income established, now that we are all certain

unregulated capitalism is the cause of most of the world's problems. All the budgets of the world can be balanced by the simple confiscations of most of the fortunes of the world's wealthiest people, like the Rothschild, Bush and Windsor families. Relax, patricians, you'll still be able to buy your way out of trouble. We won't take it all, just most of it. Besides, many members of these families won't need their money if they're all living at Guantanamo, which should probably be renamed Camp Bush.

No more is it a question of trying to get ahead in this society. This society is broken. It is time to forge a new world, not based on domination, exploitation and war. We must stop regarding the idea of revolution as merely an abstract concept, and realize that a functioning, purposeful revolution is the only way most of us are going to survive. Otherwise, the certainty of slavery for 90 percent of the world's population is unavoidable, and that will only perpetuate the same problems that continue to afflict us.

How we can effect these necessary changes absolutely vital to our collective survival are questions that you, dear reader, must now answer. It is essential that your share your conclusions with others, and not just keep them to yourselves. If you don't see the need for any of these questions I've just posed, let me ask you this: What will you do when they come for you?

What we're supposed to be doing is making a better world, making sure people are not suffering, making sure that we're not destroying the very things that keep us alive. We are not supposed to be increasingly alienating ourselves with false styles and transitory titillations that prevent us from nourishing the very things that nourish us. We are not supposed to be taking pills to make us feel better, we are supposed to be living lives that make us feel better.

---

Not only that, we need to think globally as well as nationally -- seek solutions to problems hand in hand with other countries. Reach out to other countries with peace and in justice, fair and in alliance with other fair and just leaders. As we step by step solve our own society's problems, we'll be helping other cultures to remain sovereign and functional within the world system of exchange of free ideas and just and responsible trade.

Without mass sums of the peoples' taxpayer funds funneled into weaponry and supporting troops world-wide and other cuts and slashing of corporate handouts, we would be able to provide health care, rehab. facilities and care for the presently incarcerated (a whole welfare system in itself), establish viable schools and school buildings, fund higher pay for teachers, fund preschool programs and food programs for preschoolers, and family systems therapy taught in the junior high and high school levels to stop addiction cycles.

There will be funding for states to bolster senior affordable housing and lower class housing, funding for worker retraining classes and an infrastructure work force, funding for alternative energy small and large businesses including salt water refining companies to insure adequate and healthy water for all.

And of course, we'd legislatively roll back all laws catering to corporations and pass new ones demanding tax contributions, accountability, environmental responsibility, and fair and safe worker practices. Those corporations locating outside of the continental US should be forced to pay higher taxes than those employing the US workforce. All legislation victimizing the worker will be rolled back. Unions will continue to flourish and extend globally. The large companies, like Wal-Mart will be broken up into smaller ones by law.

The whole tax structure will have to be redone with the rich paying far more due to their enormous incomes including provisions for mandatory investment in socially, environmentally, and globally responsible and innovative businesses.

Government surveillance will be curtailed to concentrate on borders and incoming visitors and immigrants, and the Patriot Act slashed and rewritten to go back to basic civil defense concerns. A percentage of the national public kitty will go to peace and international organizations that promote education and free exchange of ideas with other countries.

Amendments to the Constitution upholding the separation of church and state will be added. No government funds will go to churches or church-affiliated organizations.

More grants and loans to middle class and poor families for college educations will be granted along with increased veterans benefits. The military will be more active on the domestic front as well, offering services for rebuilding schools, inner city areas, bridges, transportation, and other necessary refinement and rebuilding of the infrastructure. Also, social service will be part of the military's duties including teaching and rehabilitation. A portion of the military will be involved in international peace efforts in helping other countries with their infrastructure and energy systems building as well as education.

The Agriculture business will return to humane and non-chemical treatment of food supply with funding to insure trade and the stocking of extra foodstuffs for the hungry, domestically and abroad. Soil conservation and organic farming practices rather than chemical fertilizers will be legislated for all farmers with subsidies for the small agri-businesses and rules for the larger with a cap on the size of the larger. All animals will be treated humanely and no GM crops.

Cottage businesses will be encouraged through the uses of the internet and business tax incentives.

The US postal service will be dismantled and private systems allowed to compete and thrive, small and large with a cap on the size of the business.(The U.S. postal system is a big money drain and form of welfare as well -- lots of savings there!)

The EPA will be used to protect the people with an expanded corps of inspectors held accountable to the people -- all inspections recorded--corporations, businesses, etc.

The airways will be free for all people to start radio stations, TV broadcasting, and internet companies.

Herbals and wholistic medicine will be viable for the public and universal basic healthcare available to all which would include wholistic doctors and practitioners. Caps will be placed on the charges for pharms and their drugs and free trade allowed with competition between countries --.

All lobbying will be changed to those companies who wish to sponsor laws, donating to the federal kitty with no disclosure to lawmakers. No parties nor campaigning individuals will receive funds from organizations. Instead, the special kitty built through organization donorship, will then be split equally to pay for air time for all candidates and parties of House, Senate, and White House offices and the same laws followed for state governments. The many parties could then be fairly represented. If groups or organizations want to pass laws, they can receive hearings on laws by committees as they do now, but with no lobbying involving donations or exchanges of monies. Individuals may donate to parties and candidates with caps. Organization reps. may meet with congressional committees to state concerns and promote certain bills, but citizen petitions must accompany the request for a piece of legislation to even be considered.

Executive powers should be re-examined and amended and the Senate and Congress should lower their pay-scale and join the public medical system with four year terms only. Public service in the nation's government should be just that, a service, not an upperclass initiation to wealth. Congressional retirement plans should also be reduced. (more money for the public good!)Citizens should be represented more directly through polls and community meetings as well as internet communication.

The chemtrail issue will be investigated, stopped, and full disclosure of all black ops will come to the surface. Government and military secrecy will cease and though the military will still be available for defense purposes, the levels will be opened with the whole issue of "confidentiality" & "top secret" opened to only include that which will personally defile a particular individual, but with respect to the law. All levels will be open to all other levels. The term "national security" should be debated by Congress and redefined.

New homes be built with alternative energy products and materials and design that promote health and well being. This will stimulate new supporting company growth and gradually bring all older homes into compliance. The EPA could control these processes. Tax incentives for builders should help.

Social security should be preserved and all states required to participate. Immigrants should also participate on a fair and lower rate scale.

Gas guzzling cars should be heavily taxed to fund the EPA! Purchases of alternative fuel vehicles will not be taxed. The larger the personal vehicle and its fossil fuel consumption, the higher the tax!

Luxury taxes on yachts, high priced jewelry, and other luxury items should also go into the fed government kitty! Cigarrettes should also be taxed, federally!

Birth control methods and morning after pills should be made available through clinics, high schools, and colleges. Safe abortions should be offered through licensed medical facilities as part of universal healthcare.

Heroine and the poppies associated should be, through diplomacy, treaties, and alternative marketable crops, not allowed on the world market. This crop could be substituted and nipped in the countries where it is produced quite easily. Give these people another crop that they can sell on the world market and they will be happy. Coffee comes to mind. The UN and other world organizations could help stop this addictive drug from ever reaching our shores! This is indeed a weapon of mass destruction!

Living simply, environmentally consciously, and with basic needs met, our society will attain higher levels of funtionality and education. The social services fields could receive better funding for services rendered and could balance the greed-motivated occupations with the social service kinds of occupations. Teachers and social workers should not be the lowest paid. Nurses and doctors would be paid through the system as well. Call it socialism, but capitalism will still run it!

Questions posed, solutions recommended! Hmmm!

HOW? How do we change a whole system, a whole culture?

WHEN? When do we change it?

Well, I just brainstormed and came up with a few changes that could be solutions. When and how for each one, I don't know. But if we can conceive and imagine the change, we can get there!

WHEW!
