THE AMERICAN CRISIS:  
 
"These are the times that try men's souls:  The summer soldier and the
   sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country;
       but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

- from "The American Crisis" by Thomas Paine, the author of COMMON SENSE
that sparked the American Revolution

 
PREFACE:
The United States is in a serious crisis.  There are five stages for resolution of this crisis, taken in essence from the recent book by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross & David Kessler, LIFE LESSONS - Two Experts on Death and Dying Teach us About the Mysteries of Life and Living.  
 
The first stage (core problem) of many Americans is still DENIAL; "no problem - never mind".
The second stage is
ANGER; "The system is corrupt - those bastards must go!" 
The third stage is
BARGAINING: "We've got to get new reps - a new administration". 
The fourth stage is
DEPRESSION; "Both parties are corrupt - the whole system is rigged". 
The fifth stage is
ACCEPTANCE; "Just do what the poor in Spirit are not able or willing to do - reboot the divine in 2009.

                                                      

 
The value of these lessons regarding the American Crisis today should be self-evident. Many Americans are going through a mental breakdown and "re-assembly" process.  It's not just numb disconnect over endless war insanity. It's grief over the loss of America's honor, the moral high ground, and the direction of many of our core institutions that barely serve the purpose for which they were created:

1 - A government where corrupt special interests deny the best interests of, by and for the people.
2-  Mainstream media monopoly that cultures subservience to special interest agendas.
3-  A backwards "health care" system that makes a killing by treating disease rather than preventing it.
4-  An economics of scarcity that creates and manages scarcity for the profit of special interests.

Healing the grief in America over this crisis -- the psychotic break since 9-11 -- requires we go through this process. The healing of this crisis begins with an understanding of its genesis, a vision of it's resolution, and a process for getting there.

People worldwide are grieving over what has happened to America.  At least those -- after 9-11 -- who said in sympathy for our plight, "We are all Americans".  And now that the myths of 9-11 are coming out, the stages for healing grief are progressing.

This is a brief overview to veteran truth-seekers on the Net.  Enlightened Netizens I call them.  They know the problem with systemic fascism in the body politic.  They understand how the collusion of big corporations with big government is creating an Orwellian Big Brother nightmare. Rampant fascism.  And they know who the REAL terrorists are who orchestrated 9-11. What has been lacking is an action plan with the pure intent of the same U.S. Founders who would be aghast at the corruption of their "Great Experiment" in government "of, by and for the people".

Most Americans can read no further.  They're still in
DENIAL. "Don't go there" they say.

It's not hopeless.  There is a way to turn things around.  Some neophyte truth-seekers believe the next election is the only hope.  But they haven't read www.heartcom.org/20reasons.htm .  Or they just refuse to believe it - that the last election was stolen by rigging the electronic voting machines installed across the country by Bush administration cronies. Otherwise they would get ANGRY.

When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either cease being mistaken, or cease being honest. We have a dishonest government that is making the public dishonest. Honest people want to change that and typically -- at stage three -- get struck thinking they can BARGAIN with the corrupt system that rewards loyalty and punishes dissent.

 
"We have the greatest opportunity the world has ever seen, as long as we remain honest
which will be as long as we can keep the attention of our people alive.   If they once become
inattentive to public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors
would all become wolves."

- Thomas Jefferson

You could have the best candidate in the world but the fascist system now would not let him get anywhere near the top since that would threaten the status quo of mainstream monopolies on oil, drugs, armaments and communications run by the cabal of government fascists.  This is a SERIOUS problem - one that leads to DEPRESSION for millions of American and much contempt abroad.

There is no electoral "choice" in the current system to change things at the top.  The fascists are entrenched, embattled and in "survival mode". They are dangerous because they have a habit of resorting to treason and treachery like 9-11.  But moreso they are dangerous because the sheople are in denial and have a habit of victim dictum, getting along by going along... over a cliff. Or as Mark Twain quipped, "We are discreet sheep; we watch which way the drove is going and then we follow the drove."

The most common failing of the sheople is that they fail to see through the mask of the wolves in sheep's clothing who continue to pull the wool over our eyes.  The wolves are fleecing the public while programming apathy and indifference with endless terror and tyranny in their monopoly media. 

So the solution must come from the grass-roots, worldwide. It's a global issue. There is no time or space in our "global village" now.  The instant-everywhere Internet has eliminated time and space.  We're all in this together.  There no resolution or restitution --
stage five -- without seeing the big picture of global ramifications -- the public sphere -- how were ALL connected globally. 

What is needed is NOT another token political figurehead in America that fronts for fascists who DENY what's best for ALL.  What is needed is
ACCEPTANCE -- somewhere in this world -- of an electronic upgrade of our horse-and-buggy representation system.  NOT a rigged system that the fascists manipulated to steal the last election.  A working system that will resurrect the revolutionary Legacy of U.S. Founders and shine for the world as American once did.

All it would take is one nation state or one U.S. state, or one large corporation or even an on-line Internet community willing to pioneer HEARTware - an interactive "LOVE Model" interface -- at the heart of their communications infrastructure.  The VISION alone of how this will work -- to check, balance and harmonize the change process needed -- could be the catalyst for self-fulfilling prophecy... globally.

Stage Five: the United State of Love for the United States of Earth.  ACCEPTANCE of the Vision for the ultimate healing of planetary war, dis-ease and grief.

In short, what is needed is a working process of, by and for "SELF GOVERNING MEDIA" -- InterNetworked global/individual "community networks" -- that check and balance the love of power of the few via the power of love in the community - ALL community networks.  Spiritual communities, government communities, education communities, health care communities, business communities, etc. They are ALL defined by the MEDIA in our instant-everywhere world.

As things are now, fascism is deeply entrenched.  So what do we do?  Let the fascists destroy the economy, create chaos, and institute their Police State agenda?  That's where it's going if enough good people don't do enough now.

The real question is how to finish what U.S. Founders began.  What is the BIG difference now that the Founders would agree is the key to re-alignment with the first principles of enlightened self-governance?  If you boil it down and connect the dots, it ain't rocket science.  The "heart" of the Founders' Legacy is the same Constitution of Freedom today as it was then.  And there is a simple way to upgrade that vision if we "take heart" - the will to do it.

How can we get past the "media gatekeepers" who have become fascist?  How do we institute a new "InterMedia" system that is most likely to insure our safety and happiness?  Think about that seriously!  

We need to educate the obvious rather than investigate obscure.  Has it occurred to otherwise intelligent humanity that the obvious solution is within the capabilities of the network of networks -- the Mother of all networks -- the Internet?  Not the way it is but the yet unrealized potential.

Do you agree that U.S. Founders would see the ALL-connected Internet as the best way to liberate their Legacy for ALL mankind?

The ALL-connected Internet is decentralized, grass-roots, instant-everywhere
and interactive in a "bottom-up way" (one for all / all for one)
that aspires to cooperative communication co-ordination
in the Spirit of what is best for all sentient life on Earth.
Unity in diversity is "co-ordinated" through the power of love.
Conversely...
Big government collusion with corporate media is centralized, highly scripted
and "one-way"(their way) in a "top-down way" (ownership and control)
that utilizes war powers for command and control by a power elite
in the spirit of their own "pride" (sense of privilege) to profit through power.
Divide to conquer is manipulated through the love of power.
 
You can see why the Internet has been a challenge to the fascists from the beginning.  If they were going to stay in power, having infiltrated government for decades, how else where they going to survive the Spirit of "Best for all" if it would threaten their government "regulated" (protected) monopolies on oil, drugs, weapons of mass destruction, communications, etc.?

The effete elite have a different set of values -- monied power above all, with revenge and retaliation for those who don't agree to their "religion" of ownership and control through money and power. Their "golden rule" is
"he who has the gold makes the rules".  And their first rule that they are the ones entitled to rule, NOT to love God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul and your Netizen neighbor in our global village as thyself.

The public may be slow to see the fruits of that elitist religion but they are waking up - the greatest fear of these wolves in sheep's clothing.  That's why they are dangerous now - like cornered wolves.

The elite believe in survival of the fittest and that they are the fittest.  The arrogance and hubris behind their provocateur 9-11 attack is beyond what most American sheople can conceive or believe. But even though these wolves look human with their "sheeple masks", they are alien to a world of servant leadership.  The Bush Family dynasty was raised as a pampered elite, indoctrinated by the Skull & Bones cult, compromised with debauchery, and groomed for Illumanti supremacy with other global power elite potentates who believe religiously in their right to rule through the creation and management of crisis, terror, disease and war of all kinds.  Their god is power through war and you'll know them by their fruits. Endless war and propaganda in the media.

"Propaganda" is a strong word.  But ask yourself, have the American people been purposely de-moralized by the incessant media programming of terror with a tyranny agenda?  Do Americans have a habit -- a passive "Belief System" (BS) -- that believes what it is told without thinking critically about it -- like 9-11?. Given the mainstream media "BS" on 9-11, ideological control of a people becomes easy.  It just layers the lies of "faulty intelligence" with more "BS" that never takes responsibility for the original lies and simply piles on more "BS" to the foundation of "BS".  Until we have full blown propaganda in the media that people deny is propaganda!

Or as media reporter, Robert
McChesney, brazenly stated, "The first rule of being a great propaganda system and why our system is vastly superior to anything in the old soviet Union is not that people think they are being subject to propaganda... people don't think that - they aren't looking for that - they are much easier to propagandize... and that's the genius of our media system.  It's a system of ideological control, compared to an authoritarian system."

Personally, I don't see the genius in a system of ideological propaganda that people don't realize is mind control.  How would you know you are programmed with ideological "BS" if you are programmed with ideological "BS"?  Have mainstream Americans lost their right minds to ideological mass media propaganda?

How many otherwise intelligent Americans are unaware that a handful of giant media conglomerates control the "official truth" in approx. 97% of the dominant media - TV, radio and newspapers?  Do we mindlessly forget that these corporations profit directly or indirectly from oil consumption, endless war and drugs for whatever ails you?  Do we care that these powerful media special interests have a vested interest in keeping the truth -- the WHOLE truth -- from the American public?

Or have we accepted ideological propaganda as truth and equate dissent with lack of patriotism?  Or just don't think about it at all... preferring to believe that the system works and we're the good guys.  Just eat, drink and be merry watching the unabashed materialism and unembarrassed hedonism on the boob tube. Insensate masses act like sheep. If there's no mind, it doesn't matter.

Behind their sheople masks, these wolves are not "friendlies".  It's only victimized "sheople" -- too fearful to think for themselves --who deny the reality of fascist wolves among us. And depend on them for solution. Enlightened humanity knows better.

Like innocent Dorothy, singing down the yellow brick road to find the Great Wizard of Oz, Americans have been on a journey to find a way out of this mess.  Now they are looking behind the screen and finding that the "great and powerful Oz" is a puny man.  And in this case fascist.  It's a shock, but when exposed, challenged and tongue-lashed by Dorothy, she gets to go "home".

Home is the "better angels of our nature" as Lincoln phrased it. Home is faith in God - a God of Love.  Home is where our hearts are when we
"take heart"
and demand -- as Dorothy did -- restitution.  Restoration of the Spirit that matters at the heart of the Founders' Legacy.

Some will "get it" (stage five).  Some won't (stage one).   But the revolution in the New World "global village" today -- emphasizing 90% of the word "rEVOLUTION" -- will be spearheaded by the same type of committed self-starting freedom fighters who came from near and abroad to fight for America's Independence.  They won't have to be babied and coddled with perks and prestige. THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY CAN!

Heaven knows -- as they do -- that a NEW GLOBAL LOVE-CENTRIC MEDIA is our best hope for healing the cancer of encroaching fascism. And like girl-child Dorathy, they will speak and act from their hearts with the power of love for "HOME" -- the holy Spirit of Love-in-action.

The survival of civilization is at stake.  The warfare is mostly informational and psychological at this stage. Most people equate "survival" with their comfort zone of cherished illusions about our corrupt system of government and how to fix.  But there are many wise Americans who are committed with the same zeal of the Founders to restore our "home" to a "State of Love". The virtue in the Constitution is a framework for LOVE-centric governance.  That's what the Founders meant by "God government" -- NOT making government God with religious "BS" that spiritualizes fascism!

Stage Five is really so simple yet profound.  The simple part was defined by the computer/Internet revolution that wired the global "brain". The profound part is the implications for the heart of Freedom when the constitution of virtue -- the virtue in the Constitution -- is upgraded to bring a framework of LOVE to the "global brain" with the frequency of compassion at the
heart of it.

Love is the key - always has been.  Now it is needed "BIG TIME".  Heaven knows we can define the "Next Big Thing" in the computer/Internet revolution worldwide with an interactive LOVE-centric interface for global Internet media.  And there are numerous way you help with that.

Let's be honest.  We've got a global problem -- power elite globalists who have hijacked global government with terror and tyranny tactics.  They talk freedom but act as fascists, profiting from endless war, disease, death and hell on the planet.  They brazenly use the mainstream media to maintain their tyranny over the hearts and minds of men. That's what fascists do ya know! 

Enlightened Netizens worldwide know this - that the mainstream media is largely a "propaganda vehicle" for highly centralized government policies... and is a "marketing machine" that uses sophisticated mind-manipulation techniques that push increasing thresholds of "shock and awe" (emotional trauma) to "embed" your memory body (subconscious) with "a charge" (terror, horror, graphic violence, explicit sex) that binds us to the TV drug pushers, warmongers, oil monoplists, etc.  This is the psychology of subservience to tyranny that passively believes in Big Brother as the solution to problems they have created.

It's time to discharge that charge.  And begin the process of healing with a special "LOVE" at the interactive interface "heart" of the media that defines our conscience and local/global "comm-unity" (with unity).

This isn't rocket science.  The New Testament is "Love is for giving" - NOT for getting. Fascists forget the for-giving part.  They've lost the meaning of "servant leadership" as U.S. Founders intended our government to represent.  Fascists forget that the Old Testament's "eye for an eye" madness makes the whole world blind. And that the New World of the Founders was very strong on the virtues of the New Testament.

The true test of spirituality is practicality.  An advanced spiritual civilization would culture civility with a "
TLC-centric" TeLeCommunications system featuring a universal interface for interaction that empowers the wisdom of love at the heart of it.  Indeed, the holy Spirit of Love-in-action.

All it takes to turn things around is enough good people committed with their lives, resources and sacred honor above all. That was the Founder's commitment that is being dishonored by the fascists. 
 It's the BUSHwhackers who hate our freedoms, NOT those who resist their invasive attacks on U.S. or Mid-East sovereignty.

Either we discharge the "charge" of global terror the BUSHwhackers created -- with the rEVOLUTION of enlightened "mediation"-- or the "side-effects" of fascist "preemptive war" insanity may boomerang.

Remember that the doctrine of preemption was used against us by the Japanese. It was called Pearl Harbor.  And the fascists are setting up another Pearl Harbor in no uncertain terms.  That's what they do.  That's who they are.  And only a mass public awakening will make them accountable to the pure intention of social conscience that focuses attention on our evolutionary ascension out of this mess.

TRUE patriots -- enlightened Netizens worldwide -- will do what they can to reboot the divine in 2009

"Following the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor and the ensuing cover-up,
President Roosevelt's chief of staff reportedly told other officers,
'Gentlemen, this goes to the grave with us'.
The parallels with 9/11 are stunning."
