A MONDAY

It is a beautiful Sunny day! The snow is about gone in our yard. Let us ignore the forecast of three to seven inches later this week.

Going forward and backward seems to be part of life's progression, at least for me. Thankfully I am completely over the injuries I received in my fall last week. For awhile I thought it was going to be Emergency Room time, but all pain and symptoms disappeared by Sunday Morning. I must be doing something right.

I wish more politicians would speak up on our supposed War on Terror. The United States is by far the greatest terror threat on Earth. The U.S. drops a bomb every twelve minutes, every day, around the clock. Women and children are killed, thousands lose their livelihood and homes. What for? Oh, somebody can explain each incidence and make it sound almost necessary. We need to get our heads out of the sand and pay attention to what is happening in the world. It is not really hidden. I don't look for this information. I would like to ignore it, but it comes out and whacks me in the face.

This empire has done a masterful job of keeping the citizenry asleep. We drink our lattes, go to the theatre and especially watch television, while our government supports murder and mayhem all over the world. Any threat to the empire is met first by demonization of their leaders or form of government, we use sanctions, block their use of international money channels and when they get weak enough and the people protest we introduce our puppets. If that fails we use bombs. Every time I read about Libya I cry. I witnessed that tragedy from the beginning. I may spend some time writing about it in the future.

I know it is very difficult to think of our government being involved in such treachery that causes such disruption in the world and such horror to innocent people. Don't think of it as 'our government'. We don't go along with it! I think most of the people we elect to office don't go along with it. Who would support the murder of innocent people for power and greed?

These newly elected house members will soon discover the power of the industrial/military complex. They are world wide and their only interest is money and power through control of the worlds resources. When our representatives point out the craziness, we need to support them and not get seduced by their favorite tricks of divisiveness and demonization. It is not antisemitic to criticize the Israeli government and those that support it, as it is not anti-american to criticize the United States government. When they are wrong, they are wrong.

We need to figure out how to wake people up without creating more divisiveness and anger. We need to give loving support to those who want to make positive changes without blaming and creating sides. I want people to see the truth about our empire so they can quit unconsciously supporting it.

I know with every fibre of my being that love is the only energy there is and the only solution to this problem. I don't want to be part of the awakening process that leads to anger. Anger only plays into the hands of those we are trying to dethrone.

We really need to understand what 'love your enemy' means. It means seeing these members of the power mad group as victims, also. They are trapped by their beliefs like everybody else. We don't know how they grew up. We don't know how they were indoctrinated for generations. I have always had the suspicion that they are people who don't believe love exist [or is possible for them] so they try to satisfy their needs through possessions and power.

They need to be unseated and taken out of their power positions and perhaps some need to be imprisoned to insure protection of the population. Our anger, our judgement, our condemnation will not help anybody.

We can use discernment to know who speaks out honestly and with love in their heart. We have some leaders in congress and on the threshold who are willing to provide leadership. Let us open our own eyes. Focus on love in our own lives and we won't be fooled.

Nothing can stop us! Love cannot be stopped!

Love and Peace, Gregg
