Speaking it into existence... |
|
| To
the media: Remember that you have the power to control the message delivered to the
people. Whatever you speak into existence will occur. Be sure that your phrasing and
the ideas you express reflect the vision you have for the future. That doesn't
necessarily mean expressing a bias or opinion. To general site surfers: In a way, I don't really approach this page as a page I want to have completely public. This is a page where, if you don't follow the trail of the conversation, don't know who I'm addressing or what the issues are, this page will likely just seem weird. Sometimes, I make comments that only 1 person in politics or the media would understand.. sometimes I say general stuff or express my complaints. I just look at it as 1 more example of freedom of speech. Like tv and radio and such they don't have to listen. But often, they do.. some appreciate it, some get angry. That's their right as well :} I have no formal or even indirect affiliation with influence with any media or political figures. I just speak my mind, and sometimes, people listen. Sometimes, I actually say something worth listening to. :} - Editor Favorite remarks from site user: "Good job on keeping things cool and well spoken. Your website exhibits quite a bit of control - your adjectives could include evil bastards every now and again without being extreme." and, regarding a piece I wrote for another purpose called "The Privilege & Honor of Serving A Commitment""...statement is right on and could have been written by me, I have always felt this passionately about justice and equality! The sentiment expressed there is the only viable goal for humanity I think. 6pm - What I've been struggling with most in all of this is whether to run as a Democrat, or seek to alter the status quo by running as an un-affiliated candidate. I did not want to further split parties and alliances, but the people supporting me want me to be unaffiliated. But, I can't even get the DNC to return a phone call, so I have to assume I'm a fool to support people who won't even show me that little bit of respect. Meanwhile.. other people made several requests to have me placed on Democrats.com... they finally received no response to their requests... of you look on the site, I'm not there, and people were being told to go there an vote for me. I made a very simple inquiry, and was provided info to the effect that they would choose who they represented on their site. I decided to decline to go through their qualification process, and will advise people to ignore them. Why should I suport the Democratic Party? Someone give me one good reason. I'm serious. My campaign will have everything to do with citizens having no access to or representation in the political system. I'm not impressed with any of the parties. Is the only way to get anything in this country to kiss ass, or is there actual justice in anything that's worth saving? This is all flat out bullshit. I intend to expose it all. And, everytime someone does something to suppress or dominate me, I become more determined. The only question is, will there be anyone who is not due criticism for injustice? It doesn't look like it to me. It looks like the only way to turn this country into a Democracy is to break it down and start over. I will. Democrats.com will make an excellent example of the hypocrisy. See, it's not like they wanted to know anything particularly unusual or anything, it's the principal that they claim to be displaying candidates or potential candidates in the Democratic Party.... it doesn't say anything about it being those who they approve of. I don't even know if they would have approved. It's the idea that I have to qualify to them in order to be allowed access. It's a simple example of what's gone wrong in the political system. I just won't be a party to it. That's what the movie means when it says to stay off the road. That'll give you something to think about. Like I said, why should those who benefit so much from the status quo want to change it? Remember, you're getting my stream of consciousness in this column, not my actual actions played out. But the thing I really find amusing is when I wonder if any of the high priced analysts out there have a clue as to why what I'm talking about doing has such a great possibility of working... not because I'm putting on an act, but because I'm going to be real, just like them... that's all I'm going to say about that. Other than the success or failure of my campaign will mst certainly rest on my own shoulders. People will know they have a true representative of THEIR interests. Cause I really do just want to go grow vegetables when the job is done... one time, I got tired of hearing people express their personal pain by watching human tragedy happening around the world... and not doing what it took to end it. In the area of poverty and hunger. And, I told them, look, can we just actually do what it takes to get the job done instead of all this piecemeal stuff that doesn't get it done so I can go live in the country in peace? I laid out a 5 year plan to end poverty based on a capitalistic system that empowers people. They were astonished, and despite a few ruffled feathers by people who didn't agree to the plan, we still got alot done. :} I ended my involvement when they decided they were more concerned with their positions than accomplishing the task, because, deep down, they didn't really believe the task could be accomplished. That's the hard way. It's too bad that's often how it has to be. Cie La Vie Que Sera, etc... Be really clear, I'm addressing certain Democrats, or parts of, in all of this. Mayber politics in general. One thing for sure, the Declaration of Citizen's Rights and Expectations will be at the heart of the platform. And I have a killer economic strategy that works everytime. I worked under a man who taught me a great deal about turnarounds... the State of Washington hired him as their primary consultant for doing turnarounds on businesses in default and facing chapter 11... I bet you'd love to know his name... I learned alot. I don't want to offend everyone.:} There's some very cool people doing some very cool stuff. But I said from the beginning, I'm no one's ally, and I am everyone's ally. That does not mean I will betray anyone. ANd I'm not out to criminalize anyone. Remember, I believe it's possible to make everything work for everyone. And I want to prove it. And it's not intended to be at anyone's expense. It's intended to be for everyone's benefit. It can be hard or easy. It's disappointing how humans most often choose the hard way. I'm watching TAKEN and wondering why SciFi is committing so much time to it.. I beleive in UFO's... why do I want to play the Greek in LA... that was the last place I saw a UFO... me and about 4,000 other people who all got real quiet all of a sudden. It was Todd Rundgren and Utopia, Chaka Khan, The Brothers Johnson.. great show. Spooky. Time to work. I gotta save the world, ya know. :} 5pm : I'm not bashing Bush, I'm just telling the truth. Here's a tune I left out of the mix the other day so I could save it for another purpose... but it seems to fit :} Stand. :} I keep getting the feeling I'm being told to become musician, but do you realize it's easier to file for President? :} 1pm - Free market and Keynesian economics can easily be merged by realizing, in this economy, that long ago, in order to reduce taxation and lessen the size of government, adecision was made. You could spend a great deal of money doing something like Kucinich's Dept of Peace, but, as a responsible government, they had to provide for defense. They decided to fold the departments essentially together, and over time, dropped more of the peace part of it, and determined that force, backed by economic covert wars, was more expedient, and that the damage in relations with other countries could be suppressed by oppression. Al Qaeda is proof to the opposite. Ambassadorship and respect for other cultures, and a true willingness to share planetary resources and compete on an even playing field is essentially what's needed. As well as the exposure of lies, commitment to truth, and the replacement of the theory that war is the intangible variable in the budget of our nation. There's a reason it was called the Dept of Defense. There's a huge plan and philosophy inside that paragraph. We'll call it "Charles Codes" :} Think about it long and hard. 12/9/2002 - 1am There are moments when I feel like I should explain about why I'm going to organize a national strike if our leaders don't start acting like people who believe in Democracy... harsh words, but we all know know what's been going on here for a long time, and acquiescence allowed it. It' shameful. It has to do with propaganda, manipulation, placing the citizens of this country, and many others at risk with an irresponsible foreign policy, Iraq as a separate issue, no domestic economic policy, and no faith tht Bush intends to have a real one, and pure defiance of the facts in the case of Global Warming, homelessness, unemployment and the rest. It's time for America to wake up. I'm not mad. Just committed. Still, I chuckle after reading the article about the cable network looking for a person to spark their lineup... I had no idea... I don't chuckle at them, just the little thought of doing my show on there, preceding Hardball, and everyday, by the time I was done, Chris would be so flabbergasted at what I've said and shown, backed up by factual reports, of course, that he'd abandon his planned show just to rave about things I'd said. Hitchens would love it. That would be classic... ya have to figure I'd last at least 1 or 2 days before I got fired... or sumpin' :} Maybe I just need more sleep. :}:} "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just the first step." - Martin Luther King "Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation." - Susan B. Anthony 7:30 pm - At 6:15 I was watching local news when they flashed --------------------- If you're not part of the answer, you're part of the problem. 12/8 - Ya'll are FANTASTIC!!! Good news.. the meeting went very well last night.. what was supposed to be a 2 hour organizing meeting turned into a 6-hour (I think) discussion! Whew! After emulating St. Benedict for 3 years, I thought I may have gotten out of touch with common consensus and consciousness... I'm happy to say, I'm not. These folks are going to set up new meetings with others of the so-called intellectually elite. Here we go. Expect a formal announcement in February from NY. or DC. One of the most interesting aspects was when one man in his thrities spoke up and said that all this info and vision was great, but that he considered that what was really necessary was some sort of transformation of the hearts and reality of the American people... he said that people were living in the domain of survival, and quoted and recommended the books of some South AMerican Social Scientist who had written books on... basically the same stuff I was writing my first book about.. something about "The Tao of ".. something. I'm expecting an email to refer me to the actual book and author. All these years, more than 30, I thought people would think I was crazy with these ideas. :} I mentioned, with apprehension, using meditations to visualize everything from world peace to weather... thought that would really hook them... they all agreed... amazing. People are ready for the message. Here's something funny... the Bible Codes database... that sort of thing was not the same database I was referring to, although I can see the connection... I have this funny feeling about the overall detrimental effects of something like the Bible Codes... fascinating as it is.. such things tend to cause people to have faith in something other than taking responsibility to cause the world.. still Speaking of such things... I've mentioned before that when I remember my dreams, they come true. Always. This morning, I had a dream... I won't go into it all... but the main gist was that I woke up after seeing a newspaper on a newsstanf that said, in huge letters, ATTACK or ATTACKED I think it was the New York Times. Lots of work to do today... be good, do good, receive good... love ya all.
12/7 - 4:15pm Thank you to those who tell the truth. God bless you a hundred times over. Organizing meeting tonight. This will be the beginning of the future.
12/6/2002 - 10pm - Good news. The Union will be 501c3 on Tuesday. And I'm almost well enough to record. There'll be a new report tomorrow afternoon. I have a sense of direction now. The Week in Review, and a mid-week commentary, and a sermon or two for George. BTW, when I impersonate him, I'll be reading direct quotes. I won't go negative. Love is stronger than hate :} So, it's been an interesting time the last few months... alot of disappointments, some fun... but, more than anything, I've really dugg down deep and discovered and realized what I really believe in. In facing what will likely be the greatest challenge of my life, no matter how it turns out, I'm not about to quit. I'll remember how many times I considered it, and how I was simply compelled to carry on. I've given it every thought.. how, if necessary, I'll jog across the U.S. to get the word out.. time to put an end to the insanity, racism, bigotry, usury and all... I feel sad when I see the true cost of acquiescence once again placing the world in jeopardy.. but I know it doesn't have to end this way. I've been doing an incredible amount of research on the internet... and I am absolutely amazed at how many people believe "the end is near"... where I differ with them is in the knowledge that we have a choice, free will... and I will pray that God gives me, and gives us all, the strength and the courage and the power to overcome the challenges ahead. And I know that we must all be leaders, and that I too must lead, from afar, away from where my heart is, and away from those who may not even consider me their ally. There is no turning back for me. Just as I know I must and will be who I am, give everything I have, lead responsibly with vision and passion and truth. We all have gifts, and we all have weaknesses. I believe that as long as we provide what God has given us to provide, whether we meet or speak or never hear of each other again, that it will be sufficient, because I honestly believe that God intends us to prevail. I will proceed with that faith, that confidence, and that commitment. I have confidence in all of you, and hope that you will come to view me as your full partner in defending the awesome promise of this nation of wonderful people. Let us all remember that there is strength in compassion, peace in equality, and power in justice. So when the moments arise that there is weakness and doubt, and those moments will come, we can all remember that we are neither alone or striving in vain. Take comfort in knowing that fellow patriots are all around you, and be vigilant for the world we've declared in our vision, for it won't be long until it is the one we will claim for ourselves and every living creature on this planet. Love you all, God bless us all. Noon: I have this craving for Kung Pao Chicken... sure wish I had access to it, but they don't deliver here. :} And the car won't start. :} Always something.
