Friends and frenemies, brothers and sisters in revolution,
Do you ever feel like you're in a Stephen King novel? I have been feeling that way a lot lately, like one of those epic books that begin by introducing all these disparate characters and for the first ten thousand pages, you are wondering how all the different pieces fit together and then somewhere around the middle of the book, the discrete elements coalesce to form two sides of an epic battle between good and evil. The evil guy's followers are the dregs of society – the sociopaths, the self-interested, the greedy, the murderous, the criminally insane, those who have larceny in the dark hearts.
Today, the face of modern American Fascism is Donald Trump. I don't think he was meant to be, I think the corporofascists were looking for a more orderly take over, but once they realized that Donald Trump's evil buffoonery can rally the dystopian thugs – Neo-Nazis, skin heads, KKK and other “disaffected” white people who cannot live without their hatred and fear – to be their army and unwittingly carry out the fascists' bidding, the Trump phenomenon plays right into their cold and bony hands.
We all know about the BLM protester who was beaten up at a Trump rally, and Trump's response – even after his campaign stated that it does not “condone” those actions – "Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing." And what was disgusting? That he was a black guy protesting at a “white” rally? Soon after, we have white supremacists shooting up a BLM protest in Minneapolis.
Some of us know that TPTB use race to divide us, Bernie knows this and he has come right out and said “No one, not Donald Trump, not anyone else, will be successful in dividing us based on race or on our country of origin.” Bernie knows, and he is raising our awareness as well. He knows that race is a distraction, it divides us as a people, and as he also said, we are, more or less, one. One planet, one people. And he urged us to not turn our backs on human suffering. “I am who I am, and what I believe in and what my spirituality is about is that we're all in this together. I think it is not a good thing to believe as human beings we can turn our backs on the suffering of other people.”
He gets this, and a lot of his supporters get this too. We are at a tipping point in our society, where corporate fascism is on the rise and people who I consider to be smart, warm, gentle human beings are completely blind to its imminent arrival, busying themselves with their jobs, and families. Perfectly wonderful people, just not yet awake to the travails we face if we cannot come together and FIGHT THE POWER.
I'm not sloganeering here, the revolution is upon us now, folks. Many of you do not see it, even as the world crumbles around us every day. In our country we have “mass” shootings almost daily. “Mass” is defined as four or more people, not including the shooter(s), struck by gunfire. Almost every single day in schools, in shopping mall theaters, on college campuses. And yet the fear mongers are afraid of Syrian refugees, human beings looking to escape the horrors of theocratic barbarism and the incredible human suffering it has wrought upon every day Muslims.
Consider this: Saudi Arabia, one of the United States' strongest allies in the middle east, happens to also be the biggest arms importer in the world, and is the United States' number one purchaser of American made tools of war and murder. Ask yourselves why Saudi Arabia needs all those weapons. Are they planning on taking over the Middle East? How come Israel isn't worried, I mean, they are all up in arms about Iran getting the bomb, but Saudi Arabia, the locus of Islamic extremism, is allowed to be the World's biggest weapons importer without nary a whimper from Israel, who by the way, is our other strong ally in the Middle East, and who by most accounts is allowed to commit atrocities and crimes against humanity on a daily basis vis-à-vis their occupation of Palestine and it's people. Saudi Arabia, great U.S. Ally, second to only ISIS in the level of barbarity displayed to squelch any kind of dissent. Protesters and “apostates” are sentenced by die by flogging, hanging and even crucifixion.
People are starting to see the machinations within the machinations, and they are starting to wake up to the fact that the strife in the Middle East is created and perpetuated by the people who stand to profit from it, or to acquire power, and probably it's a bit of both lust for profit and power. So we sell the Saudis weaponry, they create terrorists and export their particularly medieval brand of Wahabbism across the Muslim world, like in Pakistan, where poverty is extreme and people welcome the opportunity to send their son to a madrassa in exchange for room and board and maybe a little work on the side so the boy can send earnings to his family. That's just one way the Sauds spread their brand of terroristic Islam, by simply using their money.
You see, in the Middle East, politicized religion is a powerful, ideological tool to incite and inflame the passions of jihadist sociopaths, and in America, we have the KKK, Neo-Nazis and skinheads to do the dirty work of the powerful elite.
Friends, what I'm telling you is that we've all been had. Cynics among us have long held that religion is merely a tool used to control people, but it was always said as just a conceptual statement, as though it happened in the olden times, or it could happen in a dystopian future … but guess what? It is happening right now in real time. The global power structure, the MIC, is perpetuating their ongoing war on terror to try to gain even more power, and consolidate in the hands of a few at the expense of the many, and our very planet.
But the biggest ideological programming we must overcome if we are to survive as a species, is unregulated Capitalism. When you think about it, we are always worried that the 1% is going to take ALL of our money, that it is every being filtered upward, and in a way it is. But they already HAVE the money, the power to hoard the money, they have more money than they can use, so what do they REALLY want? They want US to want money, and that's why they deny us access to it. We are essentially slaves to corporations, the majority of our country's food supply is concentrated in the hands of a few corporations, notably Monsanto, who are known to poison the food supply with Round Up Ready, genetic modifications and other toxins. That's who rely upon for the bulk of this nation's food supply. Corporate criminals.
Don't get me started on Wall Street except to say this: many of us, who coincidentally happen to be Bernie Sanders supporters, knows that the dog and pony show of our election cycles is just a show, and that the entrenched power structure would be happy with either a Bush or a Clinton, and that very fact should give any Democrat pause.
It doesn't matter what you call yourself, but let me tell you that your identity does not have to be inextricably wrapped up in identity politics, the word “Democrat” is simply a brand, it's programming. It's not any different than people who identify with a certain sports team and pay hundreds of dollars to watch millionaires play for the financial benefit of billionaires. And they wear the shirts and color their faces and shamelessly do all sorts of ridiculous things that become sacrosanct if it's all about team spirit. Because we all want to be a part of a team, to belong to something bigger than ourselves, to anything, so that we can feel a part of something, so that we can feel less alone and isolated.
Here's something that you are already a part of, some of you just don't know it yet, but the Revolution is in full swing. Sanders' candidacy is more than just a movement, given the suddenly obvious rise of Corporate Fascism in our country, his very candidacy is revolutionary. As I wrote in my previous diary, Bernie Sanders is waking people up to the fact that they have power, individually, and as expressions of a singular consciousness.
Here's where I get cosmic again. At the quantum level of of our physical reality, we are, essentially, particles vibrating at various frequencies against what Max Planck called simply “the matrix,” or the fabric against which all matter is realized. At the quantum level, there are no objects, only relationships. What we perceive as three-dimensional reality is, in fact, a hologram that exists in the forms in which we perceive it, and exists as such by consensus. We now know that particles don't actually “move” through face, they merely blink out of reality, and reappear in the next “frame” of reality.
Classical physics has not been able to explain exactly what the unified field is that is holding all matter together. The more we learn, the more questions we have. Today, scientists are on the threshold of some very exciting things. Serious scientists are seriously talking about multiverses, parallel dimensions, other, intelligent life. Quantum computing, I hear, is just around the corner. But the question remains, what is the unified field? Many people, such as myself, believe that it is consciousness, and that each of us is a localized expression of a greater, singular consciousness which some describe as “The Divine Matrix” or “Christ-Consciousness” or “Nirvana,” “I AM awareness,” “being one with the Universe” or just GOD. Who knows? We know. You and me are one, we know. I know.
There is a new age theory going around that humankind, or the infinite multiple expressions of a singular consciousness, is going to ascend along with our planet, our entire solar system, it might even be a major galactic shift – and yet it's all simply an expression of consciousness, as part of the quantum hologram we agree exists as reality. Ascension is just one expression of achieving I AM awareness. And so is the political awakening, the face of which is Bernie Sanders, is part of the greater unity our individual expressions are arching to achieve. At the physical, quantum level, our particles, or the energy between the particles, will start vibrating at the same frequency, which would of course change the nature of reality in a drastic way, as we individual expressions unite with the higher consciousness, as we come self aware.
The revolution that is already in full swing is going to be a rough ride, but really, more important things need our attention besides arguing who's the better candidate … many of us already KNOW who is the better candidate, yep, we really and truly KNOW who it is. We don't need to convince anyone, let them argue among themselves so that we can achieve, as a species, our destiny and our quest for freedom, freedom of powerful ideological overlays such as religion, racism, classicism, capitalism and fascism. Freedom from all oppression. Let us never turn our backs on human suffering.
Bernie Sanders is an expression of our higher nature, the little old farm lady response to the mullet guy in tight jeans. We have the power, when we stand together, we are one. And also, too – we are one.
PEACE OUT
