I am a new Poor Peoples Campaign Member…

Why have we allowed the Corporations and the rich to take over and pretty much rule the Planet?    Tell me friends,  where do the Wealthy find all that $$$$$?            Well, they pretty much gather it up from the regular everyday working Joe’s That is You and I my friends…      We must fill those empty Bellies,  we must have Clothes, new cars, computers, T.V.s a home to rest our weary heads in after a day spent waitressing, house keeping, running our selves ragged in one of good ole Amazons warehouses, where every moment of one’s working hours must be accounted for…Whilst earning perhaps seven or eight dollars an hour , as the Boss Man earns Ten Thousand or more for that same hour…Thus the modern form of slavery that from the time we’re infants we are brainwashed into believing that that is the way life is… Not many are able to free themselves from this conditioning,  How is one able to learn that life does not have to be this way,  when one is born into life of parents who were themselves unable to free themselves from the horrible cycle of poverty and ignorance…  The trap is carefully laid,  The rich have had centuries to design it, and the system is carefully protected from any interference by the likes of us… You  see, every man woman and child, would have to cooperate as ONE United Mind, to defeat this evil empire…  How do we show the Rulers who really has the power?    What do the rulers always need more of?    Money,  and since the money is produced only with our labor and our spending of our meager paychecks in their stores, their hospitals, the immense supply of goodies to buy,  provided by other slaves mostly in low wage countries, we must cut out the supply of Money…   this means:   Stock up on food, gas, medicine, and then for a week or a month, NOBODY shows up to work, NOBODY shops… When the flow of Money slows down     The rich will panic, threats will be made:  Back to Work or ELSE….The police will be thick on the streets, the Armies will be put on alert, But we must act as One Unified living force… We must be brave and say NO!        NO! NO! to slavery and humiliation…”It is better to die on your feet, than to live on your Knees.” Spanish Heroine in Spain’s civil war…Then we must learn that life works well when all men, women, and children live in Service to each other,  instead of slavery to the whims of those who believe only in profit, at the cost of poverty for the many and Riches for the few….                                                                                                                                 ……………………………..FOREWORD……………………………….                                                                                                                   “He said to the people, “Sing high.  Do not stifle the song in your heart.”   And the people said, “We are hungry, we sing low and sad.   He said to the people, ” Stand and demand.”   And the people said, “We are sick and we are tired.” He said to the people, “Know yourselves, there is glory in you.”  And the people said, “We know our burdens and frustrations, our problems and anxieties, our hardships and our suffering.”               “Are those in power like you?” He asked.   “Are they burdened and beaten?”  And the people said they are not, they are rich.  They are respected and honored.”        Then He said, ” They have taken your share and theirs, and allowed you a pittance.   That is not just.  Claim your rights.”   And the people said, “When we claim our rights, they jail us, they defame us; they ostracize us.”   He bows his head and says nothing.  The People bow their heads and say nothing.   The planet turns slowly toward midnight and despair.                                                                                                                                              Now He speaks again.  “Do not despair,” He says.        Creativity is on our side.  Love is on our side.  Beauty is on our side.  Truth is on our side.  Miracles are on our side.  We cannot lose.  Look at the stars, they dispel the blackness of the night.  They, too,  are on our side.  Stand up and celebrate.”  A fire runs through the people.  They clench their fists and raise their arms. “We will fight,” they say.   “We will demand our rights,” they say.  “We will achieve justice,” they say, “For ourselves and for all men.”                                                               By Sireo Esteve, from “The Experience, a Celebration of Being.”   Random House 1974…                      P.S. I quote from the “Experience,” because he states what I feel so much more eloquently than I ever could…. Love to all, Alaska Man Speaks…

 

Meandering Mind of an old man

They say that “Wisdom comes with Age.” Well I am now 76 + years old, and I guess you have to hit 100 before any of that “Wisdom” comes to call, because it is sure elusive to old me. Now I have not viewed a T.V. screen in over 40 years, it was too much mindless crap for me to absorb, I desired my mind to be free of useless clutter. I do not feel like I am missing anything important, at least to me, the commercials made me sick. I am lucky, I live in an old log house in Alaska, 15 miles from any town, so really QUIET here, no traffic roar, a few really good neighbors, what else does an old man need? NOTHING…..And that is a wonderful place to be. I got this lap-top computer because I am deaf, so I could not use a tele-phone , so this is my contact with the big world outside my door…. Well this word press site is crappy, so I am leaving

Melting the Arctic & the Antarctic.

Mr. Putin and his fleet of Icebreakers are causing the Arctic Polar Ice Caps to melt ever faster, and climate change caused by our human greed for more ever more of everything is now causing the Antarctic Polar Ice to melt, if we do not stop right now there will be no future for humans on Earth within 50/100 years because the Earth’s temperature will climb to over 150 degrees and it will be just another dead rock endlessly circling the sun……Anyone with half a brain must realize that this planet is very carefully designed to encourage life, but once that life gets out of control as we are now, out of control with our never ending greed, that life will cease to exist, humans will disappear, but humans have a lifespan of at most 100 years, Earth has had 5 billion years and has maybe another 5 billion to go, we humans will disappear, but life will go on because that is what Earth is designed for LIFE…..And guess what future life will discover that humans left behind? They will find thick metal vaults filled with bars of an inert metal, that is basically useless, and they will wonder why humans placed such value on such weird things……My advice is learn to walk once again, leave those cars at home and turn out the lights at dark and learn to live the really simple life, a little food, a little shelter, and two or three sets of clothes that are hand washable and string clotheslines in the Sun shine……That is all……

Are We Busy?

Are we busy, you and me using up our world fast as we can? It sure looks a mess to me—all that trash laying around—like our world is a big, old, fat garbage can….. Where is the pride, where is the respect for the land and the seas that gift us with life….. Well, keep on shopping for shit you don’t need to fulfill our masters plan to gather up every last penny from you and me….Are we staying busy, you and me? Now get back to your slave-wage job, meat robot…….

To My Brave Peaceful Protestors; How It Works;

“A government so frightened of its own citizens that it regards them as potential enemies….” “When conducting less forthright inspections of the citizenry, undercover FBI agents and police spies join protest movements to collect names and addresses, whenever possible to take photographs and make tape recordings, While participating in a demonstration or a march, They sometimes act as agents provocateurs, shouting obscenities, breaking windows, causing enough of a disturbance to provoke a violent response from the uniformed police…..So what to do? Well, when the window breaking and the obscenities start, everyone on the march should halt, point their fingers at the perp’s and shout out “FBI agitators, Police agitators! Thus exposing the rats for the rats they are…….

What the old man is doing with his days;

Well it took me 75 years, but I finally have my own home, at least it is mine until I die, then, of course someone else will want to live in it. It is a simple old log house, I have Electric & Phone for dialing 911 just in case I need an ambulance, I am after all, and old fart…… ~~~~~What else do I have in my home? I have this blessed Silence, no traffic roaring by all day and night, no T.V. to waste my life watching mindless crap……I have a wood stove, this stove with about one log an hour, heats my whole house, heats my water, it will cook food on top, keep meals warm, burn up most of my trash, which is not much as old men do not need much to live on so I make little trash, my neighbors bring over their paper-printed newspapers for me to keep even warmer, great neighbors! ~~~~~How this works out is like a new kind of magic for old men to learn, and good advice for young people too, as someday they also will be old folks, time keeps on rolling merrily along, it waits for no-one, and no-one is immune to the passage of father time. On this Planet Earth, Life & Death stalk the land; Life is after Babies, and Death is after anyone he can find…..That is where the guns come from, Death wanting more and more of itself, the selfish fuck found out how good Greed works to fill his coffers…..However, he (Old Man Death) can be defeated, by people learning to Love each Other. ~~~~~What’s the big deal? You are Black & I amWhite, If I close my eyes everything is BLACK, and if I stare at the Sun, everything is WHITE……Tell me please, why we still have people living in ghetto’s? Have we learned nothing in all of our many lives? Maybe, Maybe, Maybe; We should let our children run this world, after all we old folks are all going to die, and then it is theirs. Hopefully we old farts left enough of the world natural enough for them to survive in, before tools and knowledge, men & women just found enough to eat by walking along the path of life……Somewhere that old snake Greed snuck in and made his self at home, and then we all had to go to work and spend our paychecks on rent & food, the free ride was over. Money $$$$$ Money showed up, and every man wanted more and more of it, Good Old Greed working with Mr. Death, and man do they take their toll; 29 miners lost in cave in, their bosses didn’t think it was worth it to protect the workers, “There’s plenty more where they came from…….We just gotta keep them women having babies……. ~~~~~That’s where it is at my friends, consumers must always breed more consumers. If the wonderful ladies would just quit having so many babies the Capitalist World would collapse for lack of Consumers…..Barter, morality, trust in Nature, if she does not Love you, you will die, If she Loves you, she will show you the WAY………

The Nation Of Sheeple;

The little tin god says; “March”, come and do my bidding, “Yes Sir”, You have the instructions. Follow them. “Yes Sir”, Attention! “Yes Sir.” March into the Ocean! “Yes Sir.” And thus the mindless masses prove once again that they have given up the ability to think for themselves…..”The whole aim of Trump politics is to keep the populace alarmed, (And hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” H. L. Mencken…… ~~~~~This “March on Washington” today reminded me of the herd of cattle stampeding at the sound of a rattlesnakes tail eager to do the bidding of the master of deception, the snake in the grass. The same guy who got Adam & Eve to bite into that forbidden apple….. ~~~~~I noticed that the whole crowd was composed of white people, not a black face in that crowd, my compliments to the Black People for not falling in line with that old white man’s con job…… ~~~~~What a bunch of Sore Losers, crying; “Scam” “Rigged” “Crooked” “Fixed”, whereas, had they won they would be praising that same system to the sky above, “How Great is This!” ~~~~~I had such high hopes that in my lifetime we would have Peace on Earth, yet it seems that goal is further away than it ever was. I wish the children would be out there continuing their march for a future livable Planet. One march is not enough, we must be out there everyday, because greed never sleeps, we also must never sleep….. ~~~~~Note that every word I write is instantly sent into History, for time waits for no man, every thought is also gone, gone, gone into History. It cannot be trapped in this present moment, because time keeps on slipping away into the past. In one hundred years who will remember these words? ~~~~~Courage is the word of this moment……

It cannot happen Here;

I have looked at the photos in the newspapers of the long lines of cars trying to get to the food banks, before they run out of food…..Many of those cars in the line cost 30,000., 40,000., 50,000., dollars. What? you did not think it could happen to YOU? How many of those people in line for food ever in their lifetime thought to donate even five dollars to their local food pantry? I will bet that every-one in that food pantry line owes at least $10,000, or $20,000. or more on their credit cards……Remember that Capitol One AD, “What’s in Your Wallet?” Well that is because we want it all. No Interest for 1 year and then, and then 19%, 21%, 25%, even up to 30% if you do not pay on time…… Sign up NOW! How stupid we become when we give up the ability to Think For Ourselves…………………………………Oh! sure we must have that latest fad, the thing we just cannot live without. Now people are living without enough to eat, so they have to stand in line at the food Pantry. Yes, it seems like the party is never over, it can just go on forever, spend all the money you have yet to earn, and therefore become a debt slave, and you will never be free, because before you can pay off the last debt, you will incur a new debt, because we must always have MORE, MORE, MORE! Maybe think about what you actually need to live, food, clothing, shelter, all the rest is fluff, not needed. Think of all those tribes of Indians living just fine without $$$$$, Nature provided, gave them what they needed. How much does the air you breath cost? Only because the corporations have not been able to figure out a way to charge you for it yet; but the day is coming when you will have to pay for the air you breath……Meanwhile keep shopping on Amazon, Mr Bezos is now worth at least $600. Billion bucks, he is aiming to be the first Trillionaire. Help him out, order NOW……

One Tiny Flame;

That is all it takes to set this world on FIRE……Just to remind some folks that the ideas that the man called Jesus spoke, and spoke plainly, Love Your Neighbor as YOURSELF. If you do not know who YOURSELF is, perhaps you should take a moment to find out…..It is worth a look perhaps, to truly see one’s self as one is……Wow! Where did all this hate and violence come from? This is not what I want to see in my head man, oh, man, what’s wrong with me? Where does all this crap come from? ~~~~~It comes from ignorance, and ignorance comes from the Brainwashing we all receive as innocent children. What kind of History were you taught, my child? It was all about the white man, who bravely fought off those savages, who were determined to defend their right to the land that the white man wanted for himself……The white man who sold black men for slaves so he could make a decent profit for himself…….If you can learn how to walk on the backs of other men you can make yourself RICH…..Promise them a job and some wages, maybe even enough to feel free to step into debt, and then you own them, forever slave wage labor. Is this a great place to live or what? ~~~~~Let us now speak of fish and fishermen (Another Life Lesson to Learn), Tell me, dear one, how did the great Salmon Tribe survive those millions of years of life, before the white man arrived to “Manage” those fisheries, (For the Most Profit). A man decides that he want’s to be a Fisherman, so he goes to visit his local bank to borrow money to buy that fishing license, then he goes and borrows even more money to buy that fishing boat, so now he has to work and catch fish to pay back those Loans, he is forever hooked……He soon comes to believe that he owns all those fish in the ocean, because he is now a Fisherman…..An aside: I once asked 4 commercial fishermen this question; ” If there were only a few salmon left to run up that river, would you still catch them?” All four answered; “Sure man, if I don’t get them someone else will.” And that is why the seafood menu will soon read; “JellyFish” ~~~~~Honest, truthful people hold this world UP, for if it was left to greed it would be quickly all used UP! Think about all those Gold Bars, sitting in their vaults, while half this world is starving from lack of food. it is not because we know that food costs money, it is because we already have almost ALL the MONEY. Please buy, buy ,buy, this joyous season, savings in the bank are a weight on the economy. Please run up those wonderful credit cards, what a gift to the owners, forever interest payments of 19-29 % What a DEAL! ~~~~~So here’s the deal, it is really easy, one has to realize just how much one needs to exist on this Earth…..Go on a diet, one small meal a day will still enable you to do everything you have planned to do~~~~~At 60 years of age I went to one meal a day, mostly soup, today, at 75 I chop wood, haul water, shovel snow, and cook my own meals. What really keeps me alive is the “Dance Of Life” ~~~~~I believe in Ms. Greta Thunberg, and all her millions of followers, all children, praying for a future Earth, even better than the one we inherited. Let Us Gift it to Them!

Food/Hunger/Money;

There is no shortage of food to feed the hungry, what there is a shortage of is the MONEY to purchase this food. Why is there a shortage of MONEY? Because in this world MONEY makes you a KING, and being a KING one must have ALL the MONEY. For example one man has for himself earned and kept $160,000,000,000.00. If this man should die he will learn this: “To die rich is to have lived in vain.” J. Krishnamurti….. This same man could donate $1,000,000.00 to every Food Pantry in this world and it would not even make a tiny blip in his fortune since he is earning at present $35,000.00 a second….. Yet, alas, he must keep it all for himself in order to be recognized as “The Richest Man in the World.” Greed is like this Covid 19 disease, it infects people, once infected with this disease, there is no cure….~~~~~Take Gold: There is about 30,000 tons of Gold in this world, China alone owns 383.2 tons of it, the USA has 200.2 tons. Where is all this Gold? It is stashed away deep underground in massive steel lined vaults, hoarded for God knows what, as it will still be sitting there where neither moss nor rust corrupts it, long after humans have departed this planet…..Of what use is this inert metal? Well it makes pretty bangles to wear, it is used in tiny amounts for electrical contacts, unfortunately it cannot be eaten, it cannot be burned to heat our homes, on a cold day which is worth more, a pound of Gold or a pound of Coal? It could be used to purchase Food to feed the starving people on this Earth, but this will never happen as it must be hoarded to make the rich man ever richer….How Sad! How much is a human life worth? In some parts of this Planet Human Beings are still being sold into slavery. Many humans are presently “Wage-Slaves” they must earn money to feed their bellies, if they do not earn Money, food will not be forthcoming, therefore they must starve or work for wages which will just barley earn them enough to buy the food they need to live…….Perhaps we need to stop and think what is wrong with this present system of consumerism, The present system needs consumer’s to keep the money ball rolling along, therefore we cannot allow women to control their own bodies, because if they do not produce babies to grow up into consumers,the system of money will collapse. What we need to be a better world is to live by way of Service, rather than by way of Slavery. By way of Service we can build the “House of Mankind” emphasis on “Kind”……Well, this old man is tired, I hope I have said something useful this time, take it for what it is worth…….

WHY?????

Why is it that we human beings, who are at best temporary guests on this planet Earth, so intent on destroying the only home we have to live on? Why are we always waging WAR instead of waging Peace? Why do we continue to fish out our oceans, until the last fish is caught in the nets? Why is it that one man can be worth $160 Billion dollars, while millions of people do not know where their next meal is going to come from? Why are the bottom trawlers throwing away dead the bycatch of Salmon, Halibut, Rockfish, Crabs, when our food pantries are crying for Protein? And they are fishing for Pollack, which is made into tasteless fish sticks for our school children to eat, which they discard into wastebaskets and wind up in the dumps…..Is this the height of stupidity or what? Why do we continue to elect the same-old-same old, ancient politicians, who, why they decry the wasteful government, continue to collect their fat paychecks all the while denying relief to the people who elected them to serve the people? Why do they cry Fraud! Deceit! Scam! when they lose an election, yet praise to the high heavens the same system when they happen to win? Why are we continuing to build up-dated Nuclear bombs and missiles which if used would end this world as we know it? Why do we glorify athletes, some musicians, and politicians, and not the everyday working Joe, who makes it all possible? Where would you find produce in the store if some working Joe decided he would not harvest it anymore? Why do people insist on buying their crap online, when their local business stores are right there in front of them? Don’t they realize that soon enough the only choice to shop will be “Amazon Prime” This will be a sad day indeed. What happens if this wonderful internet thing is hacked and shut down? Where will you shop then? Think about these things…..
