Problems with winning Wars.

One problem with winning a war is that the victor is necessarily rejecting some perspectives of the defeated people. This inevitably creates limits on the future trajectory of everyone, including the winners.

To members of the other campaign both national and international

To the alternative national and international media

Sisters and brothers in national and international resistance movements

Cordial greetings! We are writing you today to ask for your strong and committed support in action and solidarity in the search for justice for 8 activists unjustly and illegally imprisoned, tortured, badly treated, stigmatized by the media, and now awaiting possible incarceration for false accusations. Presently these activists, Jerónimo Gómez Saragos, Antonio Gómez Saragos, Miguel Demeza Jiménez, Sebastián Demeza Deara, Pedro Demeza Deara y Jerónimo Moreno Deara, members of the Other Campaign and residents of Ejido San Sebastián Bachajón, in the municipality of Chilón, detained on April 13th, 2009; as well as Alfredo Gómez Moreno y Miguel Vázquez Moreno, who is a a member of the Zapatistas, and was detained on the 17the and18th of April in the prison “El Amate” CERESS 14 in Cintalapa, Chiapas, Mexico. In the course of the next 4 days, ending on Friday, May 8th, the state will decide whether these activists are innocent and free from the crimes which they are falsely accused or whether they will be incorporated in the corruption of this government and imprisoned.

These activists, members of the Other Campaign and the Zapatistas, among the most active of those working for social change, are part of the first dignified voices to proclaim themselves against the new highway project that will connect the cities of Ocosingo and Palenque. These projects will initiate the basic infrastructure for a series of massive projects proposed by the government and multinational corporations. These projects engage in the theft of the abundant natural resources in the region and the implementation of a large scale tourism business that will destroy the surrounding environment.

If we allow this process to continue in silence, we, the national and international community will leave open the possibility for this government to continue their crimes; allowing repressions to continue against social activists; giving permission to torture, intimidate, and detain anyone that defends their legitimate right to live without fear and demand their basic human rights; we will allow them to continue to develop massive projects that will lead to the destruction of a dignified life for any human being.

Now is an important and urgent moment to act in every way possible to achieve liberty for these activists. In the next few days any type of political act in your city or country that will call attention to the unjust detention of these activists and support this struggle for basic human rights will help. We need to pressure the state government and administration of Juan Sabines Guerrero to liberate these political prisoners. Any act is useful whether it be in group or individual; marches, letters to the government of Chiapas and the federal government of Mexico, signed petitions, calls and letters to the press…will all bring attention to these injustices.

Sincerely,

Adherents to the sixth declaration of the Lacandon jungle, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, México.

Corporate scorn for natural evolution only benefits bank accounts.

Encyclopedic evolution

Before Wikipedia,

comprehensive references on factual topics were most rapidly found in printed encyclopedias. This physically limited the amount of topics found in each series. Being printed as an indexed topic in an encyclopedia inevitably added cultural legitimacy to any topic.

The internet is enabling no limits to direct textual, audio and visual referencing of both archived and real-time, live forms of information.

The printed past is creating the initial trajectory of digital humanity.

Now anyone who learns of the worldwide web is capable of contributing or ingesting any aspect of this live electrical global collaboration~

which is not only evolving encyclopedias.

This net is evolving everything it touches.

Relationships, business, currency, gaming, communication...

for less than twenty years a new dimension has been actively participating in local and global life.

obstacles to Earthen salvation.

Politics and religion are heavily affecting our discussions of what is essential and necessary to transform society into a naturally sustainable process.

Certain aspects of modern culture in the U.S.A. and "first-world" societies cultivate problems that logically transcend the reactionary public conversations.

1~ Reliance on fossil fuels and electricity is depleting the land, air and oceans.

2~ Our buildings, streets and infrastructure such as water and sewage are typically being used to full capacity, with repairs moving slower than the rate of decay.

3~ A majority of people in the U.S.A. have never killed or grown the food that they eat every day.

4~ Bio and genetic engineering are replacing natural species of crops and livestock, making food that requires corporate chemicals to thrive.

5~ Democracy originating from the U.S.A. defined itself through Revolution that deliberately cast off a foreign nation's military and asserted moral and legal rights for all people everywhere, in writing.

6~ Peace and freedom are never created or maintained through war or intimidation.

All of the value in "supply and demand" logic that has always been the rational validity of Capitalism and Free Market Economies was transformed when the mathematics of the financial delivery system move from the realm of billions into trillions...
just because people lied about numbers being digitally traded between banks, governments and corporations.
Bookkeepers added three zeros to global financial markets. ( It is an interesting coincidence that this massive increase in mathematical economic modelling occurred shortly after computer scientists successfully developed the first "Petaflop" processing speed (1,000,000,000,000,000 calculations per second) .

Obama bummed me out.

Today the President of the United States of America devastated my hope and optimism for a better world.

He is intelligent and I know he cares about our nation and a better life for all generations to come. He is forced to deal with Bush policies that have ruled the land since 1980. He is attempting to revitalize a country that was ruled for eight years by the war criminal, G.W.Bush.

For those reasons and more, I have remained silent regarding his amplification of the war in Afghanistan. His failure to publicly investigate the possible (likely) violations of National and International laws by the Bush regime.

I remained silent while watching our government inject 800 billion dollars into financial institutions that have profited for years on legal lies and loopholes.


But now I cry out with rage and frustration.

The vilification of plants, herbs and fungus is an industry that condemns our Earth to destruction.

President Obama is capable of eloquent logic to justify letting Bush walk free, supporting corrupt corporations like AIG, and controlling the opium fields of Afghanistan with U.S. military...

but he uses sarcasm and scorn with regards to hemp.

This is a hopeless stance and I fear for us all.



The legalization of hemp and sin semilla (seedless) herb is not only the most requested topic on Government administered public polls. It is advocated by spiritual leaders and rulers of nations. Scientists and judges are in favor of legalization.

People sing and pray about it.



You've got to free your mind to care.
