Democracy in the Age of Empire October 4. 2004


(I'm going to wax metaphorical on this one)

[metaphor]
The democracy that has evolved within the United States Government no longer works as the founders intended. In this time of elections and political spin it is refreshing to hear of people that see the problems in how government is run in the United States.

I recently discovered that the US government was based not only on the Presbyterian form of Government at the time but also (and more so) upon the Tribal Confederacy of the Iroquois Nation. A true democracy where the voice of the people as well as the souls of the land and the creator spirit were heard within the assembly. A place where what was detrimental to any part of creation was rooted out and stopped and all other things were considered Good. The confederacy didn't last long. Europeans were a people coming from a history of hierarchy, patriarchy, oppression, suppression, and most importantly from a place where humans were considered above all else in decisions. A twisting of a holy theology into the corrupt tools of empire is to blame for this.

After only 200 years+ an empire based on the fiction of money has arisen and the democracy started by its founders is all but lost in the sea of green that covers the land. Money rules the democracy in America and no longer do the people, the souls of the land, or the creator spirit have a say. The God of Free Market has silenced the people, decimated the land, and started to break creation. We must destroy this God and reclaim the land and all of creation before there is nothing left in our world but fiction.

But how can this be done? The first step is to get the Bush of Oppression and Expansion out of the White House. Emperor Bush II is a poison upon this Good Earth and his policies need to be stopped. If you have money to vote, vote this beast out of office otherwise cast your vote upon the waters of this fascist government and pray that the Creator Spirit will lift your vote and return it to you fulfilled. But the most important thing that needs to be done is to care for ALL of humanity, to care for the many creatures in creation, and to listen for the voice of the Creator Spirit to lead you in the direction of righteousness and justice.

The US Government is owned by corporations and the love of money. We must get money out of our government and corporations out of office!

Sometimes I want to comment on something, but have nothing really to add. Thus I sit and say nothing...sometimes passing what I read along to others. Today I passed, and still don't have anything to say...but I decided to say something anyway.

And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?" The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. [Revelation 13:2-8]

Yeah, pretty much... but I wanted to use some images that we recognize in our current social location.

peace :-)
