Fourth Reich

As I read more and more about the "religious wars" I simply get more disgusted with religion. Oh, the latest is that the Pope pissed off the Muslims in one of his speeches. The Muslims do, indeed, appear to be one of the more violent religions on the Planet. People use their faith to justify beheading, torturing, and honor killings, when in reality, there is NO DAMN EXCUSE for killing people in the name of ... whatever. What if I started killing people in the name of Oscar Meyers? Does that justify it? Hell no.

But that is not the point of today's post. I'm not worried about a few Islamic headhunters. What really scares me is what is going on in this country. But it's nothing new. I call it the intertwining of religion and patriotism to instill the willingness to die in the hearts of little boys -- and to instill in mothers the willingness to give up their sons. The Machine needs the cannon fodder as it now sets its sites on Iran -- a staging area for the final battle with China. Little boys are being raised in little conservative churches where God and flag become one. They tell you to honor the flag because your country gives you the freedom to worship. But what they don't tell you is that they are trying to implant a sort of perverted God and country connection, where to die for your country is to honor God. Even, though, really, Jesus doesn't mention this, but that's okay. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, including the blood of your only son!!!!

What made me write this is all the churches I've been noticing lately that fly the American flag out front. Churches are about power and control, and that is what the state desperately needs to fight its adventuristic and opportunistic wars. Willing little boys who think that "God and Country" are actually one. Program the fools, and send them off to die!

Of course, a draft would be difficult because the liberals would oppose the draft. Nope! Actually, a draft would be impossible because the slick Willies in the Board Room don't want their children to be bothered with the dirty unpleasantries of war. This is the role of the underclass. Brainwash them, program them, pump them up with this garbage about patriotism, and then send them off to attack nations that pose no real threat to us. Send them to DIE for King Bush and Master Cheney, and the Royal Neocons who gladly sacrifice the children of others for their dreams of conquest, power, and domination. Be a good little Christian and send your son off to DIE!!! And then give some stupid little speech about how he died fighting for freedom. But what is freedom? It is something you have lost because you have been programmed by The Machine.

Patriotism and religion are not one and the same. Nice try, folks.

Introducing My Podcast

Well, I completed my sixth podcast tonight and I must say that it really feels good "getting it all out." So, I'm not sure if I have any subscribers yet, other than some guy named "Jon" in the U.K. But, for so long I've read and heard things and I wished so bad that I could have a rebuttal, and now I finally can. Maybe by now I have one or two subscribers. Maybe one day I'll have a 1,000 subscribers.

Anyway, catch my show at http://www.goosed.org. The sole topic is global sustainability, and I include peacemaking as a part of sustainability. Yeah, I'm one of those left wing, liberal, progressive types that want peace, social justice, and environmental justice. Yes, I am a LIBERAL, and I am very proud of that. However, I am a switcher -- most of my life I was a right wing Republican, until I had my Great Awakening in 1997. So, I am a CONSERVATIVE too, but less proud of that because the current "conservatives" really don't follow true conservative principals at all. Rather, they've completely sold out to corporate dollars and religious hard-liners. But, in the purest sense, I support conservative values. My favorite is "individual responsibility." Yeah, whatever happened to that?

So, join me for my weekly show. The best way to hear it is to subscribe from iTunes (http://www.itunes.com). Join me in my quest to study sustainability and saving the world.

Well, I suppose I'll be blogging less now that I'm podcasting, but I plan to continue both. By late next year I would love to start getting into movies, and writing an online book. Who knows, maybe someone will publish it and I'll get rich. Just kidding! Materialism means nothing to me, honest. However, a good computer that can edit video would be nice.

Okay, that's it for now. Keep hugging those trees!
