The Birth of World Revolutions

Our worst fears have come true. And our best wishes have been spat on by our leaders. Reform? Scratch health care off. Justice? Scratch criminal investigations and prosecuting torture off. Truth? Scratch transparency off. Obama's message to the American people, and to the whole world, can be summed up in four words; fuck your wish list.

The destruction of America's old form of government is near completion, and a new world government, created and controlled by the international moneyed elite, is slowly being introduced into the public consciousness. All that is left is one last major world war, the final in the trilogy of modern mass mayhem that began nearly a century ago. But these deadly elites will not succeed, in their ambition lies their downfall. These pathological and evil men know their ruin is coming, so they have decided to exit world history with a bang. I advise them to burn their own bodies once their plans for world domination fails, as Hitler had his assistants do after he committed suicide. Because if they do not turn themselves into ashes, I, and a million others, will piss on their graves until the cemetery turns into a sea of pee!

The American, Israeli, and Iranian oligarchic governments are all illegitimate. Each deserves to be replaced by their citizens with a true representative form of government. The policies of political Zionists, Islamic theocrats, and American imperialists, have proved fatal to every human being living on this planet, not just the people in their own land. Their insanity has been continual, and their destruction shows no signs of stopping. They are the enemies of justice, truth, and liberty, and with this coming war, all three governments will be repossessed by their people, and criminal charges will be brought against all the current executive leaders of the three countries, as well as high-level government officials, secret agents, and the banking and corporate elites, who shall all be named for their high crimes and treason. Any low or mid-level elected government official who does not speak out now against the official lies and against the wars will also be brought to a court of law. There will be no mercy for perpetrators of violence and deception anywhere, once justice begins her unavoidable work. I warn all media propagandists and all elected officials that they will be punished for repeating the propaganda of their states, but especially those of America and Israel since they are the aggressors in this war. I repeat, again, there will be no mercy for those who will cry that they were duped, and lied to by their leaders and bosses. Think for yourself is the first law of the universe, and those who fail in doing that will not be judged favorably by their victims.

When we say revolution we say it with love. Love for the first man and the last man. And don't get it backwards, it is not of the hippie variety. You will not see us high and rolling in the grass, having fantasies of a better world. Instead, you will see us gear up like the foot soldiers of Empire and Tyranny, because our love for justice, and humanity, demands discipline. It is not a flowery love that I speak of, but a masculine love. A love that prides order and justice equally, under the same system. A love that will shatter any illusions we may still have about humanity being evil. A love that is hated by the enemies of justice and free thought. You can not shape this undeniable love into a plastic heart, because it derives from every muscle in our being, from our heads and our eyes, down to the sole of our feet. It is a love that hates all that is mechanical, and artificial. A love that loves to wonder and create small things, taking nothing for granted, not itself, and not life. It overgives light but it does not surrender its power to the living alone, knowing that the dead are more appreciative. If it abandons itself to creatures of fright, it is only to teach them that they are weaker for leeching in night with their teeth of might. It sees a need for a fight, because this love is battle hardened, and will face up against the guardians of Babel's unraveling garden.

It is a love that does not tolerate stilled spirits, and declares its misgivings to the world's citizens and their governments without any reservations. It is a love with total self-respect, and does not dare tread upon the dreams of others. It invites the enlightened and dumb alike, and enlivens them both the same. It has lived in Erich Fromm, and Nietzsche too. It rubs shoulders with dancers, bumps J Dilla's beats, and basks in the glory of Arcade Fire. It loves oratory, if you ask for a story, it will give you poetry. Before me is this love, and I write with full knowledge that I will fight with it when the time is right.

We will express this love first in the streets, and then in the halls of our governments, which will for the first time in history reflect the passions for justice and truth that lives in the citizens. You cannot kill a love that is willed from the greatest depths of human suffering. We do not possess this love, it lives through us, and we are lucky for that gift.

The forces of decay will bow down before this love, because they will be unable to comprehend it. Their instincts will fail them. All of their training will be for nothing. They will come to see a flaw in their thought, and unlawful orders, which are one and the same.

If we do not act with this love, We the people, will be deserting justice, truth, and liberty in their most vital hours. So far, we have deserted. And I can't stand it. I am angry, most of all, at myself for not being involved with local chapters of We Are Change, and other positive organizations fighting for truth and justice. But that will change. It is not enough to warn, and to blog. I have to fight. We all have to fight. Averting the total destruction of what's left of our representative governments is the people's total responsibility. Over a century ago, muckraking journalist Lincoln Steffens spoke a truth about the American people that still has its punch for today. "We," Steffens said, "are pathetically proud of our democratic institutions and our republican form of government, of our grand Constitution and our just laws. We are a free and sovereign people, we govern ourselves and the government is ours. But that is the point. We are responsible, not our leaders, since we follow them. We let them divert our loyalty from the United States to some "party"; we let them boss the party and turn our municipal democracies into autocracies and our republican nation into a plutocracy." Steffens's judgments about the American people are truer in the first decade of this century than in the last. And the prescription he offered, that we stop following our leaders to national ruin, applies more urgently to us than previous generations. And it applies not just to America, but to all people living under the cruel thump of tyrants and cowards.

We also must accept another verdict that Steffens laid down very plainly in his journalistic expose of municipal government corruption at the turn of the century, The Shame of Cities; "The people are not innocent." They were not then, and they are not now. I don't care how high the level of the propaganda is. An unquestioning people deserve tyrants to lead them. Corruption lives in the people more so than in the politicians. Although we mistake it for something else, like ignorance, we are corrupted every time we don't speak up for justice and the truth of things. So, if we are serious about change and accountability, we are required by our conscience to first take a look in the mirror, renounce any excuses, and realize that the crimes we have tolerated for so long did not need to be tolerated. And then gear up for battle, as warriors, but without the paint.

In the coming months and years we will have to act with everything that lives in us. When World War Three is finally upon us, we must push back against the cruel injustices inflicted and supported by our various governments. Every government that instigates and engages in this war will fall one after the other, in a very short order. The people of each nation will inspire the bravery of the other, and their religious, political, and financial sovereignty will prevail. The issuance of money will be stripped from the central banks, and institutions such as the WTO, World Bank, and IMF will be disassembled or reconfigured along more democratic principles. You may think that this is the domino theory of revolution, but it is not, because we will push from the ground up we will be more successful than tyrants pushing down from above. Our strength, built up over years of alienation and humiliation, will serve us against the tyranny of death, lies, and more lies. No government can keep down a sustained and peaceful resistance for long. But the pressure must be put on. It is our fight to lose. And we have no one to blame but ourselves if we are not victorious in the end.
