Letter to the Co-conspirators of 9-11

9-11-2011




Dear sirs,

We are shocked and awed at your audacity to murder our fellow human beings in a business decision to destroy the World Trade Towers, and accrue insurance money, stock market splits and an increase in funding via the Patriot Act. Your strategy of using fear to sway US public opinion through the symbolic destruction of American greatness is cowardly, monstrous and sad. You have betrayed the Constitution and proved you will justify treason to obtain your desired ends. Killing fellow citizens in an orchestrated method to secure more power is the immoral act of a traitor. You do not have the shared interests of the People, so We, the People no longer need your leadership, your products, or your laws. We do not wish to avenge our dead brothers and sisters with more bloodshed, because that would only continue to further violence. Instead, we seek a WIN-WIN solution for all mankind interested who wish to be harmonious and open to Love as our guide instead of fear.

US law is inspirational and unifying when used for fair, objective justice, but like any great computer program, an update is necessary every once in awhile. Currently, money dictates the law, and that is the definition of corruption. For those people in power who wish to further our American greatness, please update our system: blow the whistle on those in power who are abusing their positions, and let them face the consequences of their actions. 9-11 was the greatest, malicious hoax ever pulled on our civilization, but now that we know who they are and why they did it, their power is no longer valid to us. We, the People, are unified through our trust of each other and love of humanity. Only love can make heaven possible on Earth, so until you give up murder as an option for “rational” policy, you are no longer welcome here.

We appreciate your resignation immediately.



Peace,
The People

Reduce the US deficit by Trimming the Military

Cut military spending?

HELL YES.

Why?

They are paid an unreasonable amount of money to defend the USA, when no one in their right mind is going to attack the USA, and even if they did, they would fail. The only thing I'm worried about is the possibility of a military cut in spending resulting in a our own military staging a terrorist action within our country to prove that we need more national security...it's been done before.

Any Leaders Out There?

Martin Luther King and Gandhi showed us how to make change thru peaceful protest, and the change made has lasted longer than change made thru wars. Unfortunately, peaceful protest works better when there is a leader or team of leaders to lead the peace. Right now, people just look angry and itching for a fight.

Any intelligent, charismatic, extroverted individuals up to the task of changing the world thru patience and love?

The whole world is watching...and waiting.

Roof Fall Demonstration

In the summer of 1997, I was roofing the home of a friend of mine, Jen Froehlich Sengpiel. Her parents hired me to tear off the roof of their steeply pitched, three-story home. The bundles of shingles were stacked in nine piles of eights around the pinacle. It was a hot day, but my co-worker, Benjamin Gandhi-Shepard, and I were doing fine until a pile of eight bundles began to slowly slide down the roof, over the gutter and onto the front yard below. My supply company had anchored the bundles with 16-penny nails instead of 2x4's on the slope, and the weight of the shingles bent the nails back over the course of the day, releasing them. I checked the other piles, and they seemed to be fine.

By the end of the day, we had nearly finished, when I heard another pile of eight starting to slide. Frustrated at the thought of having to haul eight more bundles up the ladder, I ran across the roof and slid into the pile attempting to stop them. Upon my arrival I did quick math: eight bundles x eighty pounds a bundle = 640 pounds...then SHOOOOOOM! Suddenly, I'm sliding with the bundle about halfway down the steep slope.

It hit me immediately: I'm going over the edge, and I can't stop. Instead of be afraid, my next vivid thought was, "alright God, this is up to you. I trust you'll take care of me," and I began to watch. I slid fast over the last half of the roof and my feet shot past the gutter. I reached back and grabbed it, and heard the pins pop out against my weight, "ping, ping, PING!" I looked down and had the strobe light/camera shutter effect of the ground getting closer and closer. I landed on my feet and compressed harshly with my forehead hitting my knees (which I can't do normally). The bundles exploded next to me, landing on top of each other in a massive heap.

I stood up amidst the largest adrenaline rush I had ever experienced, thanked God and proceeded to pick up the shingles. Mrs. Froehlich came out asking, "what the hell just happened?" I was a bit embarrassed, and suggested it was the shingles that made the ruckus...but then she asked how I got off the roof so fast. I admitted what happened, and being a Christian Scientist herself, she understood and was quite excited that I was unhurt and had a CS "demonstration" (as opposed to a healing) to share.

Benjamin about had a heart attack running down the ladder to find out what happened, but he too being raised a Christian Scientist, laughed when he found me unhurt.

Any Christian Churches Who Don't Practice Fear Mongering Out There?

I grew up in Christian Science (which differs pretty significantly from all Christian sects) and one of the main premises is "Fear is an illusion". Another is "matter is unreal and temporal". When asked, "what is all this stuff then?" Mary Baker Eddy (founder of CS) considered it to be what she called "aggressive mental suggestion" or "animal magnetism" meaning, every thinking being plays with light and dark, but what really matters? Light (or Love or life) is something. Dark (or death, or fear) is the absence of something.



Have you ever known people that excuse themselves from doing things or experimenting or living their dreams because of "what if's?" What if I die? What if I get sick? What if I fail? What if I embarrass myself? Fear looks really real then, even though it is and always will be speculation.



Fear mongering is used to control. In all the CS church services I attended, fear was not sensationalized, it was outed as an illusion. Love was always promoted and pontificated upon in as many ways as possible, to get us to realize that's also how healing happens. Love of self, love of others and love of God culminates into a transcending of this material world, and all it takes is a moment of clarity to see thru it...that is, if you have a moment, and no doubt.

John Lennon's Last Words


I just watched the "John Lennon: Love is All You Need" Documentary on Biography channel. It's really easy to see why he was assassinated by listening to what he said during interviews in the final years of his life. It came to him, that all we have to do as a planet is Love each other, forget about the fear of violence and trust that it will work. It'll be hard, but it'll work...really...it will.



He noticed that people were moving past the old ways of being and believing and were ready for this change, but others were still seeing and repeating the past, not budging or attempting any kind of change at all, and unfortunately, many of them are in government positions of influence who are able to keep us here indefinitely...and many of them do...and that's crazy.



Change is scary.

It's also normal and inevitable.

Why not?

What have we got to lose?

The Era of Rhetoric

We are living in the "Era of Rhetoric."

Leaders don't admit what their true motives are. Politicians say one thing and do another. The military prides itself on secret keeping, so anything they say is propaganda. Big business does the least possible to protect it's workers and (honestly) minimum wage means "if we could pay you less, we would."

How do we get accountability? When will transparency catch on as the only workable solution for world problems? Who will make honesty cool?

Barack Obama is slowly becoming the best political strategist the US presidency has ever known...but it's all about feints and counter feints...because right now, that's the only way to maneuver within this political landscape of meaningless words. I love my president, as I love my country, but is this it?

How do we, The People, command respect?
