***** "James, please backup your bold statement that you find Muslims infinitely more Christlike than you find Christians to be." My reply: " I don't make "bold statements," that is, I do not make the mistake of minding the business of others, what they think. I sometimes share what I have come to understand. You said please, so I will take a moment and share some additional thoughts. Until several years ago I never thought about Muslims, which means, that I took the Hollywood line, the media of line, which simply replaced what it did to Native Americans and about 60, 70, years ago started doing the same thing to Muslims, demonising them, making them subhuman targets. When I began researching, thinking, observing, and paying attention to my own personal encounters, I arrived in summary at what I shared above. Probably every day I personally encounter a new, for me, Muslim. Regarding this, and the other things I'll share here, I'll share what I understand to be Christ-like characteristics. You are welcome to agree or disagree. This is not a topic on which I intend to debate with you or anyone. Out of courtesy, I am simply replying to your question. In the Muslims I encounter I encounter profound modesty, and humility. Where I would expect to find Western Christian rage at being so savagely terrorized, raped, pillaged, exploited, humiliated, subjugated, raided, looted, destroyed... by the West these decades, I find deep generosity, hurt, peacefulness, acceptance, hurt and forgiveness. When I reflect on history it becomes much more striking to me. It is the Western so called Christians that perpetrated slavery in the Americas, that waged two world wars, that firebombed Dresden, and Tokyo, that delivered colonial terrorism to the Congo, to Vietnam, to Algiers, to Afghanistan, to Iraq, to Yemen, to India, that note to civilian cities in Japan unnecessarily.... It is the West that lives by the sword by any and every objective measure by many many many orders of magnitude. I could go on. Be well friend. One of my heroes is Gandhi and he arrived at the similar conclusion, I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ."

The only possible Savior is a mass, sustained, mobilization of millions and millions of American citizens who take to the streets and for as many years as it takes to not leave until the non violent revolution is complete. Yes, this isn't going to happen. Yes, it is a pipe dream. But yes, it is the only way.

***** Not 40 living human beings could I think of this morning, as I awoke in the middle of the night pondering this. Creatures with a true spark of humanity, humaneness, the creator within.... The exception to this are children before the age of 3 and possibly two. I thought throughout my near here on earth, and those in the news alive today. Not 40 could I think of. The Matrix. If I had more experience among the materially poor, the socially poor, the intellectually poor, I would think of more. There is an inverse relationship. We die spiritually in proportion to our over privilege. Blessed are the poor.

The only large groups of exceptions that I see are the supposed terrorist populations throughout history, who in fact, are the most godly among us who bear the brunt of our civilised, necessary, understandable, just protecting our loved ones... developed, civilized cultures incessant terrorism. I'm referring to the Hispanics, the Native Americans, the native Africans, the Palestinians, the Muslims... the truly compassionate peoples throughout history.

Optimism, especially the naive optimism fed to us by the corporate state, engenders self-delusion and passivity and is the opposite of hope. Rebels who are self-aware, who are possessed of sublime madness, are also often plagued by a gnawing despair. When the movie producer Abby Mann, who wanted to film Martin Luther King’s life story, asked King facetiously, “How does the movie end?” King responded, “It ends with me getting killed.” As Mann recalled, “I looked at him. He was smiling, but he wasn’t joking.”36. Chris Hedges

Samantha Power, U.S. Ambassador to the UN, to address Haaretz conference in New York. Samantha Power is an epitome of evil, of corruption, the likes of which I can think of neither in history nor in literature. If you can think of her equal please let me know. To write the book on genocide, and then to be a primary agent of it, is beyond mind boggling. How one nervous system can do both things is beyond my comprehension, but there this evil creature is. Breathtaking. I'm referring of course to her book, the problem from hell, the definitive book on and against genocide, and of her action to be a primary agent of the American Israeli genocide of the Palestinians. Absolutely breathtaking.

***** If Muslims are not people of peace then explain to me, why after decades of terrorism and torture at the hands of the West, there are not attacks on Westerners every second of every day? If they were Christians, or Israeli Jews, they would be doing many hundreds of times that. That is the fact. That is the history.

The denunciation of the rebel is a matter of self-preservation for the liberal class. For once the callous heart of the corporate state is exposed, so is the callous heart of its liberal apologists. And the rebel, who has few friends, is the constant target of the liberal establishment. Chris Hedges, death of the liberal class
