To "RESIST" is to CONCEDE DEFEAT. GOD FORGIVE US.

I just figured out after 14 months why I am so unwelcome in what calls itself the peace movement (with the exception of Diane, Ann, Gael, Thomas, Ellen, Evan, Connie, some other Code Pinkers...)

Every cell in my body, every molecule, every atom stands for the entire DESTRUCTION OF EMPIRE (NEVER"The" Empire).

Most of the wretchedly self called "Peace Movement" HAS ALREADY CONCEDED DEFEAT. The proof:

  1. The Peace Movement is NOT fighting for Victory to their (own) death, and the Military / Industrial / Governmental / Economic Elite Complex IS.
  2. Look at the language!!!!! Implicit in the language is defeat, failure, concession of victory: Nonviolence, Peace (only dead things like rocks have it), RESISTANCE....

My clarity that even the most sacrificial have conceeded victory came at a recent gathering of Heroes from the Catholic Worker Movement. I asked the Saint speaking to us, veteran of 17 years prison for jack-hammering a misile silo, if Jesus intended us to "resist" or "win." "Resist" was his answer and that in the act of "resistance" we win. I am certain in my every molocule he is incorrect. Jesus absolutely saw we could win, defeat Empire within ourselves and all around the world. He died in the attempt. We've yet to follow him in fighting to the death. It was shocking to me this reply by the Saint because earlier he said that the three greatest people in history were Jesus, Gandhi, and King.

INDESPUTABLY King and Gandhi:
1. Fought to their death WIN;
2. Believed that winning world-wide was possible.

Why haven't we WON?
Because we don't follow
Jesus, King and Gandhi -
WE DON'T FIGHT
TO OUR DEATH
TO WIN.

God save our children
from our cowardice.

WHAT TO DO IN THE CASE OF CASUALTIES. THIS IS WAR.

"If men are not willing to practice the way of non-violence with the same kind of commitment and recklessness of cost or con­sequences as they practice the way of war and as Communists work for Communism, clearly non-violence will not work." A J Muste
"Peace is the way." A.J. Muste

What to do in the case of casualties? Think of what the most mutually committed marine unit does in the middle of a fight to the death:
  1. They keep their eye on the mission and allow NO DISTRACTION.
  2. They risk their lives beyond that to support their comrade.

#1 first! #2 when possible.

To sacrifice Mission, #1,
to help a casualty,
is to render the casualty
MEANINGLESS.
NOTHING COULD BE
MORE CRUEL.

THERE IS A "HIGHER LAW"

If there is any conceivable circumstance in which the most human, law abiding "citizen" could and would disobey "the law," THAT is absolute Proof / Truth that there IS a HIGHER LAW.

The sheer existence of Gandhi, King, Jesus, Lincoln, Buddha, Mandela, Maguire, Diane Wilson, Phil Berrigan, Dave Dellinger, Schweitzer, Bonhoeffer... is ABSOLUTE PROOF OF A HIGHER LAW.

Where is this Higher Law written? It is obvious. In the human heart / nervous system / DNA. And until we are completely inhuman, that Higher Law is what can save us from this Planetary Hell we've created.

The Higher Law is almost synonymous with the psychological complex - Conscience, Heart, Love (Agape), Compassion, Empathy, Wisdom....

"I will admit
but one tyrant in my life;
the Still, Small Voice Within."
Gandhi

NECESSITY TO NON-SUBORDINATE TO EMPIRE "LAW"

It is entirely necessary to not cooperate with the sentence of Empire Law when it inflicts gross penalty against Kindom Law - of God / Good / What is Right...

MORE INSIGHTFULLY - such non cooperation including refusal of self defense (legal or brutal physical attacks), mobility (walking), eating and water gives the sisters and brothers of the system, and all onlookers huge evidence of how evil Empire is. Think of the crucifixion of Jesus.

See the hugely important: TO KILL THE BEAST (DISCONNECTION) - OFFER IT ENOUGH INNOCENT BLOOD.

"LAW" IN EMPIRE IS SANCTIONED GLADIATORIAL WAR

Going to Law within Empire, not Kindom, is to":

  • Visit destruction / empire / evil / hatefulness on all involved.
  • Feed Empire
  • Destroy Kindom

"...Do not go to law..."
Jesus

Also:

All hope is in
self-sacrifice revealing Empire.
Legal Gladitorialism
entirely clouds this revelation.
Act purely by the Law of
God / Good / Humanity.
Let Empire Punish Pure Goodness.
Empire will soon die from
too much Innocent blood.

BONHOEFFER ESSAY - ACTING WHEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Bonhoeffer Letters Excerpt

4:06pm. Oh my God. Jesus is the way. I never knew.

What am I saying? It is like, I just realized:
  1. Jack Nicholas was a great golfer, but TIGER WOODS IS THE WAY.
  2. Gandhi, King, Teresa, Mohammad, Abraham, Moses, Buddha... were great spiritual masters, but JESUS IS THE WAY.

IT WOULD BE WORTH MY LIFE 100,000,000 TIMES IF...

What would be worth my life?

IT WOULD BE WORTH MY LIFE 100,000 TIMES IF...

  • I could awaken my brother George Bush from his sociopathic Empire madness.
  • I could awaken my brother Dick Cheney from his sociopathic Empire madness.
  • I could awaken my sisters and brothers in congress from their sociopathic Empire madness.
  • I could awaken my US sisters and brothers from their enTrancement with Empire.
  • Etc. protect Iranians
  • Etc. protect Iraquis
  • Etc. protect Darfuries

If it would be worth 100,000,000 of my lifetimes for certain accomplishment above, it would be worth my 1 lifetime for a 1 in 100,000,000 chance. For a 0% chance? No. For a 1 in 100,000,000 chance of starting the chain reaction igniting global-family, reign of Kindom? Yes.

RISE ABOVE or RISE WITH

Rise With. The way of family, healthy tissue.

Rise Above: The way of enemy, EMPIRE, CANCER.

Thanks to Peter Maurin, Catholic Worker founder for this idea.

BEWARE THE HYPOCRITES

Jesus died to give us this warning: BEWARE THE HYPOCRITES.

If they say,
but they do not do,
they do not know.
I'm thinking:
Jim Walis, Walter Wink, George Bush,
Dick Cheyney...
If it quacks like a duck,

OUT OF THE BLUE DW SAID TODAY...

OUT OF THE BLUE DW, AN INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN HERO, SAID TODAY SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF, "START, I THINK YOU MAY BE THE REINCARNATION OF JESUS CHRIST." I'VE ALWAYS GUESSED DW IS ATHIEST. AND I HAVE NO REASON TO GUESS DIFFERENTLY NOW. I SUPPOSE I AM TOO, BUT, AGNOSTIC I'D GUESS ABOUT MYSELF IS MORE THE CASE.

I SAID IN REPLY, "THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!!!!! I'VE BEEN YEARNING TO BE LIKE HIM, TO BE TAKEN OVER BY HIS SPIRIT 100% ALL OF MY LIFE. AND IF HE DOESN'T COME BACK IN ALL OF US, IMMEDIATELY, IT IS GAME OVER PLANET EARTH." DW SEEMED TO AGREE.

INSANE TO BE SURE BUSH DID 911! INSANE TO BE SURE HE DID NOT.

INSANE TO BE SURE BUSH DID 911! INSANE TO BE SURE HE DID NOT.

Yes, there ARE some that know for sure - Bush for example and those immediately involved if they did do it - execute or engineer 911, the newst Perl Harbor.

The point? Where it would be crazy to think such a thing about Jimmy Carter, IT IS NOT CRAZY TO THINK THAT BUSH / CHENEY MIGHT HAVE.

How do you live in the face of such potential craziness. YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE, WITH PURE MILITANT BROTHERLINESS / PURE NONVIOLENT DIRECT ACTION TO:
  1. Get them out of office, or,
  2. Get those in government around them to stop supporting their barbarity - a NEW 911 or Preemptive War on Iran!!!!!!

"THINKING" AND "TALKING:" SUBVERSIVE DIVERSIONS BY EMPIRE

Thinking and Talking are neither per se good or bad. It depends whether Kindom or Empire are in charge. Two examples:

  1. Empire (spirit of) in charge: "Hey friend, my car is on fire!" "Hmmm. What do you want me to do stranger?"
  2. Kindom (spirit of) in charge: "Hey man, I was just outside and your car is on fire!" "Oh my God. Brother, please call 911 while I go try to extinguish it!"

#1 - THINKING and TALKING to make us STRANGERS, to enable IRRESPONSIBILITY / DISUNITY / DISTANCE / DIVORCE / DISMISSAL !!!!

#2 - THINKING and TALKING to UNITE us as FAMILY, KIN, KINDOM to enable RESPONSIBILITY / COMMUNITY / COOPERATION / COLLABORATION !!!

We are all capable of either or. The fate of the planet depends on selecting Kindom. Always. Time is up.

"TIME:" DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESUS/GANDHI AND YOU

Q: What is the difference between Gandhi / Jesus / King and the rest of us when it comes to being humane?
A: Time.

When others are suffering Gandhi / Jesus / King think about TIME: FAST, IMMEDIATE, EMERGENCY.

When you and I see others suffering WE IGNORE TIME; Hmm, I'm busy now, Later, Sometime Soon.

I MAY NOT BE AMONG YOU MUCH LONGER

My time among you may be getting short. I've thought that before other actions I've taken, and I think it now with what I am contemplating. I'm still among you after those other actions, maybe after this upcoming one as well. I may "dodge the bullet" for 50 more years!

Jehovah, the Almighty Powers we all feel and never will be able to name, your will be done.

PRINCIPLES OF KINDOM-BUILDING [NONVIOLENT] ACTION

The mechanics of Kindom-Building / Empire Deflation are:

  1. Awaken the Empirist;
  2. From their sociopathic trance;
  3. By giving them a shocking encounter;
  4. With extremely heroic Kindom / Kindness / Compassion / Love.

The criteria of a hopeful Direct Action:

  • EXTREMELY SELF SACRIFICIAL
  • IMMENSE SELF CONTROL / ZERO OTHER CONTROL
  • WHAT MILLIONS WOULD DO, ONE PERSON MUST DO
  • EXTREME OBEDIENCE TO HIGHER LAW
  • EXTREME BRAVERY
  • STRONGEST, MOST HONEST POSSIBLE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION / WITNESS
  • ZERO SACRIFICIAL OF OTHERS / EMPIRISTS / THE EMPIRE (STUFF)

See Glossary for terms.

DESTROY EMPIRE, TO THE DEATH. "THE EMPIRE" IS ILLUSION

"THE EMPIRE:" We mortally sin / err, and become instantly and completely irrelevant when we fight "the Empire." "The Empire" is guns, bombs, planes, legal systems, congress, Democrats, Republicans, Starbucks, Wal Mart; and EMPIRISTS, people enTranced with Empire. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER IS "THE EMPIRE" THE TARGET OR "ENEMY." "THE EMPIRE" IS A MIRAGE, A SYMPTOM OF THE MORTAL ENEMY OF ALL HUMANITY AND LIFE ON EARTH - THE SPIRIT OF "EMPIRE" THAT IS MURDERING EVERYTHING GOOD.

"EMPIRE, THE SPIRIT OF:"

All Life for the individual, DNA-family, world-family, 60 billion unborn depends on a global fight to the death (we fighters) against Empire.

PEACEMAKING LANGUAGE: SMASH OUR SHACKLES

The Spirit of Empire gave us the language of the so-called Peace Movement.

If we could get the Pentagon to embrace language like ours it would be the end of war:
  • Non?!??!!? -violence
  • Resistance?!?!?!?!?
  • Peace??!?!??! If there were peace, there would be no babies... GIVING BIRTH IS NOT PEACE-FUL!!!!!

The fact is that this language is used for a reason - TO KEEP THINGS SAFE AND COMFORTABLE - FOR THOSE IN THE "MOVEMENT."

Well, things are not Safe and Comfortable for folks in:

  • Iraq
  • Iran
  • Congo
  • Darfur
  • 9th Ward New Orleans
  • Palestine
  • Sierra Leone
  • South America
  • Africa
  • Inner Cities
  • Etc...
  • Etc...
  • Etc....

What language is more hopeful and helpful?

  • War of construction
  • Waging Love
  • Waging Brotherhood / Familiness
  • Waging World Family
  • Massive Militant Direct Action
  • Radical Familyness
  • Familiness to the Death
  • Total Deflation of Empire
  • Total Counteraction of Empire
  • Total Replacement of Empire with Kindom
  • Etc...
  • Etc...
  • Etc....

IN CONTRAST: HUMANE/CHRISTIAN AND EMPIRISTS

"My point is that both Yeshua and Gandhi confronted Empire and both were considered 'rubbish' by the political elites. But the empirists underestimated the power of Love and nonviolence.(Sorry I had to explain myself Namaste~"
Anonymous

This morning waking up was the following inspiration:
  • SANE HUMANS / JEWS could not do what is being done to Palestinians, it is against the Jewish religion to treat people in that way. EMPIRISTS / ZIONISTS, not Jews are visiting the unspeakable violence and inhumanity on our family Palestine. (This part I already knew. Now the NEW PART!!!)
  • SANE HUMANS / CHRISTIANS could not do what the US is doing to itself and to the rest of the world, as this greatest in history evil and inhumanity is exactly forbidden by the religion of Christ Jesus. EMPIRISTS not Sane Humans / Christians are visiting the unspeakable violence and inhumanity on our world-family.

We better look in the mirror.
Are we Humane / Christian,
or Empirist
today?

EMPIRE'S CROWNING BLOW: MAKING "FAMILY," EMPIRE

What looks "cute" below is deathly important.

There are two realms, and only two that our nervous system has the ability to inhabit:
  1. Empire
  2. Kindom

Empire is any and every state of consciousness that is NOT "World-Family / Kindom."

The crowning blow of Western / US Free Market Capitalism is to inculcate absolutely into biological (family) units - the state of "Empire." Per se, by definition, by IMmoral responsibility to be "Family" in this corrupt culture means to SEPARATE those with your DNA and place them ABOVE those without your DNA.

The proof? Who are our Saints? EXACTLY THOSE THAT HAVE ESCAPED THIS CROWNING BLOW OF EMPIRE:

  • Jesus
  • King
  • Gandhi
  • Sojourner Truth
  • Eleanor Roosevelt
  • Abraham Lincoln
  • Rosa Parks
  • Steve Beko
  • Rachel Corrie
  • Teresa of Calcutta
  • Beverly
  • Bonhoeffer
  • Thomas
  • Ellen
  • Berrigan
  • McKenna....

THERE IS NO CORRUPTION AS MURDEROUS IN THIS UNIVERSE AS EMPIRE DISPLACING KINDOM WITHIN THE BIOLOGICAL UNIT.

"Nothing is so tempting as
evil in the garb of virtue."
Martin Luther King

Jesus did not say "Admire me,"
Jesus said, "Follow me."

BORN TO DIE TRYING.

BORN TO DIE TRYING. Is there a more overwhelmingly blessed thought?
  1. Your heart in your chest was born to die trying to give you health.
  2. Your eyes were born to die trying to give you effectiveness.
  3. Your Love was born to die trying to make you savior of the world.

JESUS' TEACHING: INFINITE SIMPLICITY; INFINITE COMPLEXITY

JESUS' TEACHING:

"YOU ALL HAVE THE SAME PARENT,
JEHOVAH,
AND THEREFORE YOU ARE
ALL ONE FAMILY.
SIMPLE.
GET ON WITH IT.
NOW.
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
"

  1. INFINITE SIMPLICITY
  2. INFINITE COMPLEXITY

What is more simple than white light from the sun? But in that light are all the colors, all the TRILLIONS of colors and shadings in the universe.

What is more simple than the "sight" provided by your eyes? But with that "sight" you can navigate unassisted virtually anyplace on the entire planet, or in the universe.

What is more simple than "Love as I have loved?" And with that Love you are called to all of the Joy and all of the Pain on the planet. And with that Love you become equipped to "see" with the Eyes S/He has - where you are needed in His/Her family and what you were born to die attempting to help.

NEEDED IS TO TRIGER A BLAST OF NUCLEAR CONSTRUCTION

IF WE COULD GET THE PENTAGON TO COPY THE PEACE MOVEMENT...

REGARDING THE FORCES OF EMPIRE, PEACE WOULD BE ASSURED...

  1. If we could bring their terminology down to the murderous inadequacy and energy containment of our NONviolence, RESISTANCE, Passivism, Peace (I'm going to puke), Truth Force....
  2. If we could give them our profound myopia / irresponsibility regarding the absolute truth of time, pace, deadlines, launch windows, sufficient force...
  3. If we could give them our void where must be a winning vision / plan / mission...
  4. If we could give them our incapacity to see and believe that we can win...
  5. If we could give them our aversion to envisioning what would win, and working backwards from there...
  6. If we could give them our lack of courage...
  7. If we could give them our unwillingness to die for the cause...
  8. If we could give them our patience while those who depend on us are tortured and die...
  9. If we could give them our requirement to be certain before stepping out...
  10. If we could give them our faith in talk, media, tricks, trite, cute...
  11. If we could give them our vision that paying a price as big as the opposition pays is not worth discussing...
  12. If we could give them our willingness to accept failure...
  13. If we could give them our willingness to forgo the attempt to win, and our unwillingness to risk repeated failure...
  14. If we could give them our willingness to waste massive amounts of time on unimportant, trivial, petty issues...

WE STARVE TO FORCE PROSTITUTION

A PROSTITUTE ... WAS STARVED INTO PROSTITUTION. I never saw this until today.

What I did see was - Yes s/he strips for PLEASURE because s/he likes it, and longs for the PLEASURE to be bought with the MONEY afterwards.

What I did NOT see was that s/he did NOT, in favor of prostitution, turn down the JOYS attendant to:
  • An incredibly loving partner
  • A life-creating job and career
  • A warm and welcoming home
  • An incredibly functional / loving community / home...

A PROSTITUTE ...
WAS STARVED INTO PROSTITUTION
BY BEING STARVED OF THE JOYS
THAT WERE "RIGHT" THAT S/HE HAVE.

I NEVER SAW THIS UNTIL TODAY. WHY TODAY?
I'VE BEEN OUT OF EMPIRE LONG ENOUGH, I GUESS.

PROSTITUTION: "DEVOTING ONE'S TALENT TO UNWORTHY CAUSE..."

NUCLEAR DETONATION REQUIRES A TINY / MASSIVE BLAST

JESUS WAS TOO YOUNG FOR ALC

JESUS, AT 33 WAS...

  3. WAS TOO CHAUVINISTIC,
  4. LACKED THE PRISON TIME,
  5. AND LACKED THE PHARASIAN AFFILIATION...

... TO BE IN THE POWER STRUCTURE OF THE ATLANTIC LIFE COMMUNITY (ALC) / CATHOLIC WORKER / JONAH HOUSE MOVEMENT.
