A Perfect War_3

Governments strive to be the alternative to hateful-religious theocratic-rule. The beauty of government is the embrace of diversity, different peoples, different customs, different languages, differences, and serving and protecting all people equally from those whom deny equal pursuits of opportunities, life, liberty and happiness solely based upon differences.

Similarly, a side-by-side event, is that which afflicts religions: going-off all 'positive' and casting-out 'negatives,' any excuse will do, crusade-mentality -- an infection of hatred, therefore anti-christ messaging, regardless of religion.

One of the most common complaints against Catholicism by recent versions of Protestantism, especially Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons (LDS'ers), among others, is that the RCC (Roman Catholic Church) has 'embraced' what those groups call "pagan rituals" and celebrate those 'rituals' as 'holidays.' The complaint against the RCC being that a 'true church' would not include 'satanic rites,' therefore it's a 'false church' of 'satan.'

These are groups that cast-out anybody that disagrees. Denies equality to any/all whom question, who dissent.

The approach from the Vatican has always been to be as all-inclusive as possible, saying, essentially, "Hey, you all claim to worship one god -- and so do we -- why don't we do it together in peace, instead of hating each other for it? We're not going to participate in certain elements of your practice, and we don't expect you to be programmed-robots goose-stepping in lock-step with every element of our own practice, but at least we can agree on some things, and discuss this fascinating topic together, in peace, instead of killing each other over it."

That's called the celebration of diversity, instead of the TERMINATION of DIVERSITY, 'rain 'n 'splain'ing' (ference to "My Fair Lady") a few 'natives' to FAKE 'celebrating diversity,' hiding the real issues by diversion, diverting attention to 'skin-color' and 'language' as the only 'important' aspects of 'diversity' -- then claiming, "see! we accept different skin-colors as 'equals' therefore celebrate diversity" while hating anybody that doesn't goose-step in lock-step with a vast assortment of learned INTOLERANCES to REAL diversity.

So I always ponder, "Which is far more about 'truth,' the religious-group that points long-accusatory fingers at others, claiming those others are not 'good-enough' to freely-associate with, employ, love, or the religious-group that has strived to embrace differences, inclusive of certain elements of previously-unknown rituals, customs, habits, entertainments, living-arrangements, languages, lifestyles, education, and so much more? Proving unconditional-love, therefore. Which group has the most reasons to cast-out dissenters, and deny equality? And the group with the most diversity-embraces, such as the recent proposal to adopt break-away Episcopalian congregations, proves more 'true' than any/all others, regardless of agreement or not about the topic which caused the break-aways to separate to begin with.

"We are the members of BeadForLife;
We sing all over the mountain;
We dance when we are struggling;
On the hill of the Acholi Quarter." -- Uganda women from BeadforLife

At mass on Sunday, Father Gooley told about the struggle of the women from Uganda, and displayed the product which has given those women the opportunity for a better life. Beads. From recycled paper. A recording of their voices was shared, singing a song they oftentimes sing while working, making beads from recycled paper. These women have nothing. We take for-granted what we have, here in the U.S., expecting most things to be 'provided,' babbling at the air in wishful-thinking/prayer for some cartoon-image SUGAR DADDY graven-image idol we've been encouraged to worship to 'just provide' everything to us 'free of charge.'. This is the first work they've ever had, those Ugandan women, other than prostitution. The first opportunity ever to make a product to sell, export it, share the value of their existence with others globally.

The song the Ugandan women sang sounded 'tribal,' the beat of drums in the back-ground, and because they were taught by English speaking 'credentials' how to pronounce the words, the tonal-fluctuations sound a bit odd, 'alien,' different than what we (here in the U.S.) would think is 'normal.' In their own languages, their own tones, their own music-theory paradigms, they sound much different.

But there's something most appealing about it, that 'primal' "button" we humans must have, pressed somehow, by those 'tribal' sounds.

Have you heard Dolores O'Riordan? The same 'primal button' is pressed when she sings a Highland-style credenza, in her song, "Dreams." I have a recording of her from the London Astoria, recorded live, January 14th, 1994. The power of her voice, the tones, it stirs you to the core of your being. And it hints of something 'tribal' as well -- a time 'before' -- before 'now' -- of 'long ago' -- ancient times.

Dolores O'Riordan and her group, The Cranberries, also sing another song, "Zombie," with lyrics that say:

-- "Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head they are dying

In your head, in your head"

I don't know what the lyricist had in mind, exactly, "in their head," if you will, when writing that song and which metaphors they intended, but obviously it's a series of complex metaphorical-sets, which can mean different things to different people, dependent upon environment/surrounds. One thing is clear: regarding what I've written above, it's learned-behaviors, the excuses to fight -- it's IN YOUR HEAD.

-- it's learned.

-- excuses.

-- trained behaviors to provoke, harass, discriminate, and then blame your victim and go punish 'em for whatever response is provoked. And that is not 'love' by any stretch of imagination. Nor 'justice.'

Iran is using that strategy to win 'sympathy' from the most religiosly-hateful groups in existence, along any/all whom would like to see the United States and Israel and most of Europe incinerated. The more 'innocent kids' are shown in the media with their arms and legs blown off, their guts and brains splattered on walls, "babies dashed against rocks," the more sympathy, the more support to 'wipe you off the map.' And they have a long-list of 'infidels/blasphemers/sinners/heretics,' nearly as many as our own failed credentialing-system, that is 'offended' by everything they hear, taste, touch, smell, feel, see -- especially if somebody else is doing the hearing, tasting, touching, smelling, feeling and seeing. Any excuse will do.

And both are always faking 'wounds' from words, as though their blood and guts have already been 'dashed against the rocks' at infancy, while hypocritically teaching kids, "sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you UNLESS YOU ALLOW IT." Then, proving their only 'shining-example' is FAKING 'wounds' from WORDS as excuses to inspire others to go engage in HatefulReligious 'eye-for-an-eye' Vindictiveness/Vengeance, proving zero forgiveness, zero understanding, zero self-esteem, zero compassion, zero justice, therefore zero equality, all of which they hypocritically demand for their own selfish-selves.

Hateful groups, religious or otherwise, have a tactice: incitement. They conspire to make your life miserable, then 'set you on fire' -- metaphorically -- make you come begging, crawling, for nurture, basic needs, equality.

That is the tactic being employed right now towards Iran, and Cuba too, and North Korea, and many others, and that includes economic penalties for productivity via tariffs, such as our own hateful Legislators have conspired against China. Look, there are many single-moms, single-people, elderly, the poor and needy that need and rely upon 'cheap Chinese tires' for example. Now, the needy are FORCED to PAY MORE, hurting their families, their pursuits of equality in subtle, hateful ways.

Bailout money was to prevent the hemmorhage of foreclosures. The common person. But that was not the case. $700-billion dollars of 'the common persons' money was 'pre-approved to be spent' by Legislators, yet foreclosures are GREATER THAN EVER. Further, those legislators, having already pulled-off defrauding the people of another trillion, are claiming they haven't spent all the money for the reasons they told the people in the first place -- so are now concocting excuses to claim it's "already allocated" so "let's spend it on something else." The people never got a 'rebate' or 'refund' or anything else. Not even an apology. Just higher taxes, fees, fines, complications, hastles, as usual.

Had they subsidized the cost of a gallon of gas/fuel, at 50-cents per gallon, there wouldn't have been foreclosures and bankruptcies or bailouts to begin with, and to stimulate economy for real today, my proposal to do exactly that should still be engaged.

When these groups are faced with dissent, they RETALIATE. That's how hateful. That's how petty -- faking 'wounds' from words, then inspiring others to go do their 'killing' for them, either figuratively (economically) or literally. Higher-Ed is notorious for it -- just like the most petty of hateful-religionists. Intellectual and spiritual midgets, to be certain, not to mention 'ethics'.

Who among the 'credentials' will prove integrity and offer-up their own 'sacrifice' on behalf of the people, the state, the county, the community, the country, let alone the world and global economy?

Isn't it interesting that those 'credentials,' with their monopoly on services, especially government services, agencies, bureaus, etc., just grant themselves more of your money, paying themselves more, more, more, while firing, laying-off, re-negotiating all the 'sacrifices' for those doing the REAL work? They claim pushing-around paperFAKEwork is of 'higher-worth' to WeThePeople. They're worse than the HighPriests of old -- casting-out 'infidels/blasphemers/heretics/sinners' moreso, for more reasons, than any group ever in history. Not even the Taliban cares if you smoke, what you smoke, where you smoke, when you smoke, or why, and never taxes over ten-percent -- only Higher-Ed does. Maybe that's why Higher-Ed has devised a mechanism to send YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS to risk their lives TERMINATING DIVERSITY in Afghanistan?

These are the same people, Higher-Ed, that claims "negative and positive is all there is." When I point-out that displaying a positive-symptom of depression or delusion is indicative of mental-illness, that a positive-test result for cancer is indicative of having serious medical issues, that having a positive-test result for drugs will get you fired, possibly jailed, therefore BE NEGATIVE and that's a GOOD THING -- they respond with, "Well, it's just a way of looking at it, where having a positive-test result isn't the same as having a positive-attitude."

-- and I say: "but you said 'negative' and 'positive' is "all there is," therefore even your CONSTANTS are VARIABLES, therefore nobody in their right mind would listen to anything you say seriously."

See, we are being brainwashed to claim 'be positive' and 'must be positive-minded' just to get a job; but it's only job-security for higher-ed 'credentials' whom diagnose you for displaying 'positive-symptoms of mental-illness, confusion, attitude.'

Again, positive-people ruthlessly hammered 'jesus' against their merciless positive-cross-signs, using the points of their own hypocritical forked-tongues as nails, in crusade-mentality, cult-mentality, trained to be that way, all the while denying it. That's why the image of a COMMON PERSON is displayed in most Cathedrals, hammered ruthlessly as a 'negative' against a positive-cross-sign in HATE -- to invite discussion about it, defuse the DIVERSITY INTOLERANCes that cause it, as it's being played-out each and every day, in so many ways, subtle and not-so-subtle, a TIMELESS MESSAGE and inherent warnings inclusive, applicable to all people equally, all whom were, all whom are, and all whom will be -- we're all in it together -- we MUST fix it together -- so let's do so in PEACE instead of concoct excuses to KILL each other over it.

-- meanwhile, I don't care if you smoke, when/where/why/how -- or what you drink or don't -- what you wear or don't -- what words you use or don't -- or anything else. If there's something you do I don't like, I have the FREEDOM to celebrate your diversity AND not participate in it. Simple.

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
But You see it's not me,
It s not my family
In your head,in your
Head they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head,
In your head they are cryin'
In your head
In your head
Zombie" -- Dolores O'Riordan, "Zombie"

"We are the members of BeadForLife;
We sing all over the mountain;
We dance when we are struggling;
On the hill of the Acholi Quarter." -- Uganda women from BeadforLife

Pope Pius IX, when he introduced the concept of the Immaculate Conception, he was referring to such women, not just one exclusive 'special, super-duper, better-than-you, 'more-equal-than-all-other-women' woman. There's no such thing as 'more equality.' All are born a 'blank slate.' Innocent. 'Sin' is taught, and the word 'sin' an obvious ever-changing VARIABLE.

-- "Just the way you are" -- wasn't that Billy Joel? Yup, I think it was.

You ARE 'good-enough.' Higher-Ed, legislators, are gradually instigating an environment of 'approved conception/birth/child-care' system, denying compassion to any/all singles or couples that attempt to be fruitful and multiply without 'appropriate stamps, licenses, identification, enrollments, fees, surcharges, paperwork.' And those women without it, will be denied equality -- cast-out -- forced to give birth in the filth of animal containers -- mangers --

-- hated for being a woman, and free.
-- her child pre-approved for hammering, ruthlessly, as a 'negative' against merciless positive-cross-signs, pre-approved as 'not-good-enough' -- 'unapproved birth.'

-- Like this: "She didn't have authorization to conceive; and didn't have MANdated/legislated paperwork requirements met, not enrolled in any approved health-insurance plan -- therefore the child is not worthy of healthcare, it's an illegitimate birth -- therefore an illegitimate person, and hard-working taxpayers shouldn't have to pick-up the tab for the care of either!"

-- (then, they'll sing songs, hold hands, candlelight-vigils for the photo-op, patting themselves on the backs, telling each other how 'merciful' and 'kind' they all are.)

IT'S ALREADY HERE!
