The Radical Soul Revisited

The Radical Soul

 

This essay was first published on 4/5/2005.

 

As I see more and more injustices and abuses of power by governments and corporations causing destruction and misery to billions of people around the planet, I get angry and feel the need to do something about it, or at least some of it. I have discovered that my radicalism begins with a whisper from my soul, that stirs me with a surge of emotion and creates a tear, or makes me angry enough to swear at a television news commentator, or  George W. Bush or Tom Delay, Bill Frist , John Kerry, Joe Lieberman and virtually every American and international politician.

I believe Radicals are born radical. I believe a Radical has always been radical in his world view. A Radical cannot accept things that are not just, or are hurtful to people or animals or the environment.  A Radical can be anyone, there are no specific qualifications to join the ranks of radicals. Radicals do not need to be militant, they simply must be compassionate and courageous enough to stand up to all who would harm them or others.  I once thought that most Radicals were violent, but I later learned that the most effective radicals were non violent.

Radicals are men and women who refuse to bend to the will of nature, or suffer the indignity of physical or mental abuse. A Radical is anyone who will fight back against anything that they deem is a wrong against them or others. I think as radically as everyone else. I weigh my options and interests and my willingness to fight in the courts, write letters of protest, or storm the Capital building? I am uncertain how radically radical I really am. So far I think I am like everyone else waiting for their soul’s whisper to turn into a shout or a scream; until we can no longer watch or wait as the scales of justice are breaking under the weight of injustice.

“If the injustice has a spring, or a pulley, or a rope, or a crank, exclusively for itself, then perhaps you may consider whether the remedy will not be worse than the evil; but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say break the law. Let your life be counter friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.” Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience.

Is the future  real ?

We forgot what we have done

and revise what we do.

Our future is tomorrow.

Our present is today.

American Jihadists

american jihadist

 

 

 

8/27/14

Recent network news reports have stated, that over 100 Americans between 18 and 30 years of age have joined  Muslim Jihadist movements in the Middle East.  It amazes me how strange and vacuous so many young Americans are.  I see them walking aimlessly on a street smoking cigarettes, playing with their Iphones or crowded together in a mall or on a street corner with nothing to do. Unemployment amongst teenagers and young people in their twenties is at an all time high. In minority sectors of American society some unemployment rates are as high as 30%.   Rather than enlist in the American military they would prefer to join America’s enemies to fight against Americans. This is a sign of the times and a sign of the dramatic loss of the minds and hearts of our young people in America.

Youth crime is higher than ever. Drugs and alcohol abuse among teenagers and young adults is higher than any other industrialized society. U.S incarceration rates are as great as all industrialized countries combined. Currently over 3 million Americans are now incarcerated, on parole or probation and the majority for nonviolent crimes.

The over sexualizing of children, teenagers and young adults in American society is absolutely obscene, yet sponsored by all the fast food chains and breakfast cereal makers with advertizing targeting young people. The music industry is outrageous in its sexing up of young singers whose audiences are children, teenagers and young adults. Freedom of speech was never meant to promote criminal activity and pedophilia.   Child abuse in America is at an all time high as DCF is overloaded with cases of neglect and severe spousal and child abuse brought on by parental drug and alcohol abuse and high unemployment.

The public school system is deteriorating daily by the deprivation of funding and the government /political influences of elementary and secondary education, which refuse any contrary views of the official government speak, on revisionist national and international history and false science. Young people are far more aware of lies and hypocrisy by their peers and parents and painted over news reports. They will oblige a teacher or parent for a while until they are confronted by a lie they know is a lie such as religion, politics, or propaganda. Once they confront the offender and is punished or condemned for their suspicions, they realize protest is useless and dangerous and will only cause more pain and punishment for them even if the truth is fully revealed and presented. They learn young that truth is rarely discussed and only lies are told and rewarded in American society.  Lying to teachers, parents and any authority figure is generally always rewarded, and if they are confronted they deny their lie, or apologize for the “misunderstanding” a tactic they learned from parents, teachers, employers, politicians, policemen, or any authority figure.

A young mind can easily be enticed into being a warrior. Violent video games and movies attract the young mind by showing ruthless killings and mindless aggression towards a make believe opponent. Playing war or wrestling were and are a young boy’s favorite games. Venting anger and aggression against something or someone or competing in combat against someone was and is a childhood and adult fantasy, that has lately become a reality for many.  School and workplace shootings, as well as mindless lethal attacks on people in public places, such as malls and movie theaters are becoming more common in America every day.  Killings in many major American cities and towns are a daily occurrence, with the vast majority of murders being done to and by young people in gangs or gang related robberies. Murder is a gang merit badge and initiation. The American Boy Scouts now openly promote homosexuality amongst their counselors and  children.  Religions offer little or no defense against the evils of society, as priests molest children and preachers openly embezzle from their churches or fornicate with prostitutes, while preaching prosperity, bigotry and the Apocalypse to their devote parishioners.

I can understand the attraction to Jihadism for some young American men who are seeking adventure and rebellion, or who have a nihilistic view of life promoted by American society in its schools, prisons, media, music, movies, games and money driven madness of consumerism by American individual and corporate greed. A young American’s  attraction to being a Muslim Warrior fighting and dying  for God against the enemies of Islam, is exciting and a way to prove their devotedness to God and Islam by their martyrdom. This is a purely religious adolescent fantasy, playing the avengers of truth and justice against the hypocritical American Way.

The VMA and Emmy Awards

 

 

American celebrity award show

 

Americans were assaulted by the recent awards ceremonies of the music and television industries’ best examples of narcissism and decadence. All of the many morning show sycophant hosts asked their television audience members this morning to answer them on Twitter as to what was their favorite moments of the VMA and Emmy award ceremonies.  My very favorite moment of both award ceremonies was, the moment I changed the channel.

Sometime between the first selfie of a reporter with starlets stumbling over their costumes and painted Joker like lipstick smiles I had had enough of the VMA parade of naked narcissists and changed the channel to a PBS concert of a long forgotten folk singer. Watching him sadly singing a forgotten song to dementia patients in the  audience said volumes about fleeting moments of fame and how fast the once famous are forgotten.

I couldn’t watch the Emmy Awards either. I did catch a glimpse of a few middle aged men and women celebs holding their breath and stomachs in wearing tight gowns and tuxedos as the paparazzi took  their pictures. I noticed in the few minutes I watched the red carpet promenade of painfully plastered and primped celebs with major face lifts and liposuction, that few of the fashion conscious attendees had any sense of fashion.  What kind of moronic stylists convinced a 300 pound stumbling starlet to wear a tight fitting red gown without a full length girdle? If you are an actress with skinny legs, a fat rear end ,and use a body double in all of your television shows and movies, the worst thing you can wear to an event like the Emmy Awards is a short , tight dress. It doesn’t take a fashion genius to figure that out.

The media glorification of the celebrated  stars and starlets proves the gullibility  and the apathy of the event watchers, watching their favorite rich, famous and frivolous celebrities parade before them on high definition,  large, flat screen televisions, flaunting their ridiculous smiles and fashions to the world.

Latest Video Report on the Gaza Invasion published 7/18/14

This is the most recent coverage in Gaza of the Israeli invasion. The overall media coverage in the U.S and on the internet is almost silent or days and weeks old or censored and controlled by the U.S and Israeli governments. God bless the Palestinians may they defeat Israel, their sacrifices have already proved Israel’s war crimes and destroyed Israel’s reputation as a legitimate country.

The After Hours of Midnight

after midnight

The after hours of midnight,
bring madness and sorrow
to surround sanity.

I hear the voices of those passed on
and their pleas for justice
against others’ deceptions.

In the after hours of midnight
the world is dark and blind
and tears and suffering are not seen.

Dancing with the Wind

Dancing with the wind

I hear its music,
and feel the sound
of the lost wind whirling
around the imaginal realm.

I hear its song,
the beautiful song
and feel the joy as,
I dance with the wind.

The sun smiles at me
and the meadow flowers
swaying in rhythmic motion,
to the song of the wind.
