A CALL TO ACTION
CHRISTOPHER JUDGES
Save America From Itself
INTRODUCTION
This is like no book you have ever read. It is a series of short easy-to-read
essays, a straight-talking, rabble-rousing, populist blast of kitchen table
politics from visionary Christopher Judges. It is a “no-bullshit” book that
cares deeply about the fate of regular people in an America gone mad. It
takes off your blinders, opens your eyes and speaks directly to the heart of
you, hammering home the need for each of us to be a citizen hero who
demands real democracy and a prosocial society. This book is an
incendiary treatise, a mental thunderbolt in everyday language that
exposes the cause of our suffering and shows us how to create the cause of
happiness. This is your call to action.
Save America From Itself proceeds from one in-your-face essay to the
next, each stinging morsel a gripping indictment of our predatory,
psychopathic society. It does not get “into the weeds” of blaming
individual events, corporations or politicians but instead defines the cruel
and heartless antisocial behavior of the ruling class and their terrorism of
the American people. This book enables the American people to recognize
their own innocence in the destruction of their world and informs,
educates, and shows them how to defend themselves and build a fair and
just society.
Save America From Itself covers a wide range of social justice topics
including right-wing politics war, climate change and mind control, facing
us all with the reality that our lives and rights are controlled by individuals
and corporations who have no skin in the game, who don't give a damn
about any of us. They are insulated from the fear and misery they cause
and are consumed with insatiable greed for power that is on course to
destroy Humanity.
Save America From Itself awakens your awareness and feelings to the
reality of today’s national and global emergency. It speaks directly to the
equality of all human beings and is against the ruling class’ brainwashing
of the general public for their own best interests. It contains a well-
articulated philosophical rationale that enables each one of us to recognize
our heroic prosocial nature and the undeniable rights of all human beings
to a better future.

people into compliance with the will of the ruling class, who put their own
extreme wealth and profit before people and planet.
We cannot solve our problems by believing in our leaders. They have no
love for us. Politicians have no use for honor or fairness, they understand
how dark our future is, but they pretend we have nothing to worry about.
(Yeah, right?)
Politicians continually put the needs of corporate profit above every
citizen’s right to a healthy life, a flourishing planet and a democratic vote.
They bask in wealth, health and pensions we can only dream of, while we
plead for their good sense and compassion where there is none.
We were born into unregulated capitalism’s greed-mad chaos. You know
you didn’t create any of the terrifying national and international problems
we all face.
This book has the potential to change your mind, yourself and your
country for the better. Together we can all be heroes, build a better
country, and create a better world.
This book is for you.
Ineffably Yours,

RITA MAE BROWN
I was born John David Bower in England, under the sign of Cancer, to
Katherine Iris Bower, an unemployed, runaway waitress. She had a
one-night stand with a married man, railway worker Charlie Unwin. He
was an amateur comedian who performed at the local workingman’s club.
Charlie-boy got our Kath pregnant. The result was a paternity suit and me.
My mother was ambivalent to the extreme. She just couldn’t make up her
mind what to do with me. She put me up for adoption, changed her mind,
put me into foster care and then changed her mind again. Children’s
Services rescued me from an overcrowded foster home, locked in a closet,
screaming, suffering from rickets, emotional neglect and malnutrition. I
was covered with bedsores and excrement. Poor Kath felt bad.
Elsie and Steve Judges adopted me. Elsie, who could have kids, was
madly in love with Steve, who couldn’t have kids. They renamed me
Christopher Judges. I was baptized in the name of Jesus. Elsie took every
opportunity make up for Steve’s sperm deficiency by attempting to make
me more like the son she would have had with Steve.
Elsie told me she loved me so much there was no need for me to be who I
was. Through her love that she called “training,” she would erase my past
and who I was naturally. She would morph me into her “real son.” She
said, I “would probably soon exhibit similar traits and behavior to [my]
adoptive father.”
My mother was nuts. She and I knew I was not hers by birth. She knew
my adoptive Dad had been sterile since he contracted mumps as a kid. Yet
Elsie tried relentlessly to form me into the recipe-child she had in her
mind. I screamed at the injustice at not being allowed to be me; outrage
welled up inside me. I was not him. I was not her. I was a misplaced kid
who grew up rejecting the coercion of “my mother’s love.”
16
I am who I am, no one can tell me what to do. You don’t own me, mother.
I’m independent. I don’t accept your right to rule over me. I was outraged
at mother’s bludgeoning injustice. I could not accept her assuring me as to
who I was, according to her. She told me defiantly that my outrage was
unnecessary and completely superfluous because I was her real son!
If I did as I was bid, I got love; if I didn’t, I got criticism, shame and told
everything I thought and dreamt about was “incorrect.” I was supposed to
accept her injustices but I never did. Outrage burned in me, almost
automatically; I was on the lookout for injustice and would stay that way
throughout the rest of my life.
I went to the Church of England, listened, read and prayed, because that’s
what my Dad did. I just couldn’t get interested in some 2,000-year-old
dead guy, who didn’t know me, never would, who reckoned he’d died for
my sins. According to my Sunday school I was a sinner before I’d done
any sinning. This Jesus guy was going to save me from what I hadn’t
done? Where’s the justice in that?
My adoptive parents wanted to change me, but I was a square peg and
they only had a round hole available. I was Mr. Hyde, while they were Dr.
and Mrs. Jekyll. I just wasn’t the son they had hoped for. When Mum was
angry she reminded me I wasn’t “her flesh.” Dad, on the other hand,
ignored me, believing a boy’s place was with his Mum.
It was drummed into me, I should be grateful for everything my parents
ever gave me. I felt like a rescue dog. I just didn’t fit in. I was the
illegitimate son of a comedy showman and my life was just not funny. It
never occurred to my adoptive parents I wanted to be myself because they
always wanted me to be someone else. No wonder I had psychological
problems. I saw faces in the curtains, dripping faucets spoke to me. I was
going insane. I had to get away.
At fifteen and a half, I enlisted for eighteen years in the Royal Air Force. It
was suggested and encouraged by my parents, bless them. “It will be good
for you. You’ll learn a trade. You’ll have something to fall back on when
you get out.” Mum and Dad loved me; eighteen years of continuing
service “was for [my] own good.” Suddenly, I was under military rule. A
terrifying mistake had been made. I tried to explain. No one would listen.
I’d swapped one injustice for another a thousand times worse. I was out of
my mind with the outrage of my own stupidity.

inner peace and tranquility. A monk rang a huge gong while I was deep in
meditation; I was so shocked I stuttered for weeks after. Was this low-
grade headache really God?
I went to a Buddhist Monastery to see the monk called Sangha, who had
once instructed me in meditation. We had sat opposite each other in
similar chairs. The legs on his chair were six inches higher than mine. I
thought monks didn’t have egos?
Maybe Taoism would be better. “The Tao that can be understood is not the
Tao.” Okay, that’s it. I’m lost. Forget it. Mind you, I liked their male and
female sex talk, but got lost in all that non-existence of the non-existence
of nothingness stuff. It was cool for the Chinese, but I couldn’t make yin
or yang of it. I craved the simplicity of Jesus, the dead guy who loved me.
I went on retreat with a silent order of Anglican monks dedicated to
serving the Lord. I sat waiting to see a monk who was allowed to “talk”
looking out the monastery window. A man limped by dressed in the full
regalia of an archbishop with a miter on his head, attended by eight monks
dressed in drab grey habits.
I asked the talking monk why the “archbishop" was dressed in such rich
fabric. I was told I was seeing things. “There was no one in the monastery
who has ever dressed like that. You're hallucinating.” I faked agreement.
“Yeah, right. I imagined it.”
After a terrifying evening meal of stinking cheese, diluted chicken broth
and total silence, I went to my room, and fell asleep in a violent
thunderstorm of nightmares full of sweaty, ugly perverts, crazed monks,
sex killings, with Jesus, a ringmaster wielding a barbed-wire whip, dressed
like a woman. Evil faces came at me out of the walls. Freaking me out, I
jumped out the window car keys in hand, fell a long way onto the concrete
below. Picking myself up I ran like hell.
Three o’clock a.m., running in pitch-black night, falling over myself,
making a racket, scared stiff, fumbling the car door open. Driving down
the road like a madman, sweating like a pig, shaking like a leaf. Jesus
appears in my windshield, misty and smiling. The car bounced off a wall
like a schoolyard ball. I hit my head. That was the end of religion for me.
All religion is indentured servitude chaining its
adherents to the control of the few.

I couldn’t put my faith in God because “he” was not there. I had to make
my own way without God or that boring old Bible book of his. He’d had
more than two thousand years to make the world a better place and he
blew it!
I was outraged at the injustice of war and religion. Priests talk peace and
love while turning a blind eye to thousands innocent families being blown
to bits because?. You would think somebody would want to stop the war,
the hate, the misery and the suffering. No one was doing anything to stop
it. It’s just one big business out to make money. I had to fight this shit, I
want to change the world and deep down I think I can. I had to find a way,
my sense of injustice and outrage was rages in me.
Life was difficult. I didn’t fit in. I couldn’t do small talk. I disliked work,
beer and sports. I ended up unemployed, isolated and alone, reduced to
capturing girls. I wanted a fashion model girlfriend but ended up marrying
an activist lesbian (I didn't know that at the time and I don't think she
knew either.) We had a daughter. Then the wife reverted to type.
As a “liberated woman,” she upped and stole my little girl for herself. She
hid her away in a filthy squat; surrounded by defiant anti-men in a house
where bottles of piss sat on the stairs. They disappeared again. I had no
control, no say, no relationship with my own child. It was unjust; I was
outraged at this terrible injustice against me. I fought and lost. The outrage
at the injustice of losing my child never left me; outrage lay like a weapon
inside me, ready always.
I am a rebel, allergic to injustice and continually outraged at man’s
inhumanity to man. I can’t be told what to do or be pushed around.
Politicians and corporations are pushing everyone around and that was
never going to work. Life is hard enough without some faceless corporate
asshole defining your life choices.
A woman I knew sent me to her hypnotherapist. I had been a smoker for
years. In one hypnotist’s session, “Hey Presto” I was cigarette-free. It felt
like I’d found a new way to align myself with my own ambitions. Using
hypnotherapy, I would re-create myself to be what I wanted. Creativity
was my thing. I wanted recognition for my creativity. I wanted to be
recognized too.
The hypnotherapist and I worked together to accomplish my goals. I told
20
him to open my critical thinking ability so I could find myself and succeed
as I chose.
At the hypnotherapy session I would pay my money and give the therapist
a list of the qualities and abilities I wanted instilled in me in the session.
Things began slowly changing for me but not in the way I had expected. I
had ordered girls, wealth and creative success, but the therapy’s influence
worked beyond my ego’s desires. It had pushed those ideas aside. They
therapist took me deeper and deeper into myself. Under his hypnosis I saw
me in past and future lifetimes. “I am like the guy fighting windmills. I am
against injustice and I will put things right. I will change the world.”
“You are waking from your sleep.” Whispered the therapist…”counting
backwards now, 4-3-2-1. You’re…Fully awake!”
These days, I sit at my desk reading the newspapers on my computer
screen. Each day I am shocked and outraged at the level of injustice
pushed on us all. I am watching the premeditated disintegration of the
America I love, eaten away by the microbes of the one percent. Mega-
billionaires, making the rules they insist we live by, as if they were gods
eating the world alive. They must have more money, more power and
more control at the expense of those who are losing everything because
they are empty vessels.
The police commit murder in the name of “law” and jackboot order. Our
climate is breaking down, disaster after disaster, floods and fires and
homeless millions, precious lives lost to their abandonment by their
government. The rich will soon be hunting people for sport.
On the street, poor kids, their futures wrung out of them before they can
even think, face endless prison sentences in slave labor for filthy-rich
corporations who break their backs for more filthy riches. We show no
outrage. We do not scream at the injustice. We have no solutions, no way
to fight back. We shudder like frightened children as the corporate greed
machines rip at the very hearts of ordinary folk.
The free speech of wealth, propaganda and brainwashing pours down on
us continually like a broken water main. We are drowning, immobilized by
the thought of death if we fight for what we know is right and true. People
are lost, their hopes and dreams withering on the vine of their dried-up and
thwarted ambition, dancing on the edge of misery, growing desperate
while fear is pumped into every mind like a utility.

THE CAUSE
OF SUFFERING
THE PSYCHOPATHIC SOCIETY
T he ruling classes think they made their money on their own and
everyone else should do the same. If you don't or can’t do as they
suggest, they label you a time-waster, a loser, a lazy bum, a welfare queen
or a scam artist.
The ruling class says all people should stand alone on their own two feet
no matter what, without need for government. This is the ruling class’
overt shame-making masculine ideal, rooted in the ideas of cowboys of the
old American West. We are encouraged by politicians, billionaires, main
stream media and global corporations to take their advice and make our
mark on the world, like they did in the American West.
Really they want to isolate us from unity with others in order to weaken us
and get you to do more work for less money for their benefit.
We have created a very sick society. Ignorance abounds and is promoted
by those who rule. We do not work to change and evolve. Most fear
change. No solutions are forthcoming and most are unable to envision any
or even comprehend root causes to be remedied. Our apathy supports and
promotes a world of sickness, pollution, crime, poverty, oppression, cor-
ruption and endless war.
Our population will continue to grow and life will become ever more dis-
posable. Through our inability to sustain and promote life, we push all the
harder and faster towards our inevitable annihilation. We are well on our
way to ruining this planet for habitation. The environment might easily
take out most of us before mid-century. On the other hand, we might just
have nuclear war before of that.
The climate and the mind of Man are deteriorating
at the same time, at the same rate. To save either we must save both.
THE CAUSE OF SUFFERING 25
COMPETE OR DIE
Above all, do not compete
LAO TZU
could be left begging for scraps. The survival war consumes us, while
those who perpetuate the war are profiting from our struggle.
Money is the reward for competitiveness; it is the reward of war. They
ruling class say only the fittest will survive, and our fittest are the rich and
powerful. They are the fittest only because of their ability to work the
system more effectively than we can. They make the rules, and we follow
their rules because we respect the ability of the rich to succeed in our
competitive world. They use their wealth and position to strengthen their
ability to rule over the rest of us, grabbing more of the rewards.
Most of us idolize the success of the fittest and live in hope we might one
day find the same success shown to us every night on TV as it pays
homage to the joyous lifestyles of the rich and famous. Programs
interspersed with deceptive advertising and misleading information
undermines who we are and leaves us unfulfilled, seduced and
manipulated into ever greater corporate subservience.
Despite our society’s celebration of individual drive to succeed and
compete, we are all connected and all dependent on each other. We live in
a world where everything is connected to every other thing. No man is an
island – no achievement is created in a vacuum.
We embrace the survival of the fittest, while corporations exploit us and
keep us fat, dumb, stupid and uninformed. News is what the media doesn’t
care to keep hidden; everything else is propaganda Their public relations
turns them a profit, while the truth goes penniless.
Ignorance is the greatest of all evil
The media repeatedly tells us we are under attack and our antisocial
leaders alone will save the day. We ignore the truth even when we know it.
Competition groups us together in opposition to each other and pits us one
against the other. We end up in a war that consumes us, while those who
perpetuate the war are profiting from our struggle, hidden from view.
Competition is not the most efficient method we know; cooperation
is. Competitive markets ideologically underpin existing hegemonic
structures. Competition produces losers; cooperation produces only
winners. Win - whatever it takes!
Those with power are served by competition.
Competition is the philosophy of corporate psychopaths.
THE CAUSE OF SUFFERING 27
consumer society engulfs us with its endless demand for us to buy, buy,
buy, or suffer, suffer, suffer. We should be telling the ruling class to be
humane or face the people’s wrath and punishment.
Capitalism is at war with our free will and our unique individuality. We are
a war against our selves, while those who perpetuate the war are rolling in
profit.
In today’s world, we worship at the altar of the one and only true God of
corporate capitalism: Money. Next to the almighty buck, our old
inspirations and ideals have withered and died: art, creativity, free
expression and love for our fellow human beings is disappearing.
The evil and morally reprehensible behavior of the 1% and their
sycophants eats away at our lives every single day. Their insatiable
greed and utter selfishness has become the psychosis controlling our
lives, destroying our future and poisoning our hearts minds and
planet. The situation will get worse. Push back while you still can.
finds lurking within, he strives to avoid being recognized for what he truly
is: greedy, dispassionate and cold-hearted.
The man has inadvertently cast a black-magic spell on himself, becoming
addicted to a daily ritual of celebrating corporate greed, with its lack of
compassion and its promised rewards. The man now feels licensed to
crush the competition and others people’s interests to build his profits. He
is now helplessly obsessed with money and power. The chemicals in his
brain change and move him, like the corporate policy he obeys, to
expurgate his conscience, compassion and care for others.
“Profits first” is his addiction. He does not experience reality directly,
having adopted a mask of lies, and he wholly believes himself to be a
compassionate family man and a churchgoer who upholds righteousness,
decries hypocrisy and gives charity. But his true nature is the very
opposite of the mask he wears.
He fools everyone including himself into believing he is entitled to do
whatever he wants. There is no emotion in his eyes; behind his mask, he is
“disconnected” and dissociated from others. This enables him to plan and
bring about their downfall. Anyone meeting the man feels he is meeting a
genuine, good, successful and compassionate person.
They do not know he is a mask, taking advantage of them, their rights and
their beliefs. Like a vampire, he is sucking their economic lifeblood. They
convince themselves the man is virtuous and doing the right thing, when
the very opposite is true.
In the company of his peers, the man slips off his mask of deceit and
revels in his accomplishments. There, relaxing and being applauded by his
peers, he conspires in their merciless war to control all we have, all we
want and all who we are. The man’s mask betrays human empathy,
honesty, truth and accepted human values of love and compassion to
secure his advantage over us.
Unknown to us, his mask saturates us in lies, dividing us from one
another, treating us like commodities, demanding we all drink the Kool-
Aid and submit to corporate power. Being gullible, believing all men are
equal and all men are good, we swallow down the Kool-Aid hoping it will
make us rich too because we have been taught that personal riches will
end our fear and save us from the rejection of others. We put on our own
false mask and begin to believe it is real.
30 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
As a boss following best business practices, the man treats his employees
as commodities, passing on his corporate policy and structure as their
guide to life, advising his workers whom to vote for.
He demands that all his employees follow the parameters of his corporate
behavior, policy and structure. Employees must pledge allegiance to the
corporate business model and bend to the will of their boss so he can
improve his bottom line.
The employees ingest the corporate routine daily. They fawn over the
CEO, laugh at his jokes and admire his wisdom. They applaud his
speeches at the annual company meeting. They must bow and obey
because that is what they have to do if they are to feed their families. But
they pay the price! They lose their individuality, self-reliance and self-
sufficiency.
Corralled by policy, they accept its rules without question. The spell cast
on them changes and aligns their behavior too. They become addicted to
their boss’s demands. They even dream of becoming him, a man who is
heartless but joyful in the power and pain he inflicts on those “below
him.”
His sense of entitlement prompts him to create a revisionist history of his
personal and business dealings. He reconfigures his merciless “creative
destruction” as “acts of renewal,” a euphemism for firing hundreds of
employees. To maintain his good name, he donates a tiny fraction of his
wealth to charity. He is a hypocrite, moving among his fellow men as if he
were a God bestowing grace. To him, business is a religion and religion is
a business. He is in permanent disguise to conceal his true motives,
feelings, intention and beliefs. He pretends as surely as he breathes.
You cannot see the seams. He is a sham, a fake, a bluff, a posturing despot,
hiding his feelings and putting on a false front. He invests in religion and
gets a good return because it puts him beyond reproach. No one questions
his integrity. He is able to carry out his truly evil acts in peace.
What do you do with a businessman who doesn't care about the
damage he does, who won’t change and won’t stop, who frightens,
weakens and wounds you? What do you do if he constantly causes you
emotional distress both by his action or lack of it and is not held to
account? In the factories, mills and mines they speed up the work

pace with total disregard for safety and the lives of workers, slash pay
and attack our unions.
THE MILITANT
In the free market it is legal and customary to turn our fellow human
beings into commodities, violating their dignity where interpersonal
relationships, personal talents and natural resources are used up as means
to satisfy the free market. When our goal is to gain personal advantage,
and in many cases this can be achieved more easily if we take advantage
of others and violate their dignity. When our fellow human beings take
advantage of us our trust is destroyed. Imagine a society in which you can
trust every person completely – would that not be the society with the
highest quality of life?
We must learn to cooperate and act in the spirit of solidarity. The
social climate is poisoned when we constantly take advantage of
others, exploit and debase them in the pursuit of our own advantage,
weakening and destroying trust and social bonds. The pursuit of “self-
interest” as the supreme goal of competition leads to corporations
misusing market power, closing off of markets, the blocking of
innovation, devouring competitors or pushing them out of the market.
The supreme goal of capitalism is to increase financial capital, not the
common good.

MULGA MUMBLEBRAIN
T he Ruling Moneyed Elite are the secret puppet masters of the global
financial systems, the kings of banking and owners of the global debt.
They do not look for publicity or fame. They remain behind the scenes,
directing the fate of the world from behind closed doors. If you think you
can identify them, you are probably wrong. They do not attend economic
forums, they are out of the public eye, beyond the reach of the media.
They are the hidden, controlling the ruling class telling them when to pull
the strings of the economy, the government and the media, to expand their
wealth and power. They do not care about the damage they cause people
and planet. They can build or collapse any economy at will. Their families,
have been in control of the world since forever. To rule the world is their
prerogative; all we have to do is to do what we are told by their surrogates,
the ruling class.
The Ruling Moneyed Elite like The Rothschild and the Rockefeller
families have the power to economically destroy any nation that doesn’t
do what they want. Essentially they own the majority of the world’s
central banks that enslave us in imaginary debt and are behind our political
corruption, our planet's destruction, and our economic enslavement. They
are fixing the fate of the world behind closed doors. They run the central
bank of every country in the entire world except North Korea, Iran and
Cuba.
Until recently, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon did not have their
central bank controlled by Rothschild – now they do. What happened?
Those countries got bombed into the ground by the USA. Will North
Korea, Iran and Cuba be bombed?
The Ruling Moneyed Elite profit from funding the destruction of the
people and the planet. They have no sense of moral responsibility for the
destruction they are enabling and the suffering they are causing.
The environment and the life of all nations are in the hands of a few who
are the Ruling Moneyed Elite. Addicted to greed and the joyous
destruction of the lives of others, they are unable to stop their addiction to
the greed that kills us.
36 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
The Ruling Moneyed Elite own the climate, the water and the food supply.
They own all the land, natural resources, and monetary systems. They
control the global supply of money for every country in the world; directly
controlling the welfare of all nations.
Just because the Ruling Moneyed Elite look good in a suit, get millions on
millions of dollars a week, have a huge yacht, a few mansions and an
airplane or two, doesn't mean they are good people. Think of how, over
many hundreds of years, the control of the infinitely rich Ruling Moneyed
Elite have, like gods and royalty, have dominated all the lives in the world,
in order to bleed them dry.
Behind the scenes, thanks to the continuous destructive economic
practices, they are responsible for endless misery, war, and climate change.
The world they control economically has become so terrifying because of
the antisocial, psychopathic actions of the Ruling Moneyed Elite.
The Deep State is so heavily entrenched, so well protected by
surveillance, firepower, money and its ability to co-opt resistance that
it is almost impervious to change. If there is anything the Deep State
requires it is silent, uninterrupted cash flow and the confidence that
things will go on as they have in the past.

Look at the sheer rottenness, injustice, immorality and nastiness of
American society.
There is one rule for the Ruling Moneyed Elite
And another rule for all us regular people.
Politicians, the paid operatives of the Ruling Moneyed Elite who only
betray whom they represent, create relentless austerity for hundreds of
millions of people, saying “there’s no money available” while the Ruling
Moneyed Elite hoard their absurd wealth in tax havens.
This system will and must be replaced.
We live in a time of staggering global inequality, regular people have been
brainwashed by the Ruling Moneyed Elite to condemn poor people for
using legal means to obtain more benefits.
The result of the Ruling Moneyed Elite and big money corporations NOT
paying their taxes, has caused the neglect and decimation of infrastructure,
health services, education and the premature destruction of the American
future.
As a result, thousands more people visit food banks, are homelessness
live in poverty and fear. The system is set up to burden everyone
except the Ruling Moneyed Elite and their entitlement to wealth over
and above the needs of everyone else.

THE
MONSTER
OF
CAPITALISM
Capitalism is really the normalization,
rationalization, glorification and
even deification of psychopathy.

THE MONSTER
OF CAPITALISM
The Monster is growing faster than the law, much faster.
control your planet, your job, your income, your opportunities, your good
name and your future. I watch you and I know all your secrets. I make
laws against you for my own benefit whether they are just or not. I control
your politicians, your government and all media; they are all beholden to
me and obedient to my will. I am at war against every one of you.
I promise I will crush you under my feet to get more profit and power. I
am innocent of all crimes. I have militarized the police and taught them
brutality and the ways of merciless control. I am endless war. I am just. I
am murder. You will obey my orders and do as you are told until you die.
Make your choice. Obey me and know this, There will be no more “I am”
from you. There will only be “Thou Shalt” from me, for I am your master
and your omnipotent Lord. I am The Monster of Capitalism and I demand
“Thou Shalt.”
The Monster is the insidious psychopathic nature of unregulated
capitalism and its corporations, created and controlled by psychopathic
personalities of the ruling class in their own image, to enrich themselves at
anyone’s life expense. Their antisocial psychopathic behavior controls all
our political, economic and information systems.
Our moral blindness is merely a manifestation of a higher stage of our
infection. Instead of recognizing our corruption and complicity in the
Monster’s behavior, we blame and despise others as we have been taught
by the Monster’s endless misrepresentations and fanciful propaganda
devoid of truth.
The Monster drains us of humanity‘s essence as it grows exponentially
over everything around us and in us. Until we recognize it as the evil it is,
we can’t attack it, contain it or kill it.
The Monster of Capitalism has been growing for thousands of years.
Humanity’s antisocial activities have now evolved unchecked into cold-
blooded a psychopathic corporate Monster, an evil miasma of
uncontrollable fear, greed and gluttonous malevolence, unrecognized;
growing in the minds and riding on the backs of everyone on Earth.
The Monster is not accountable for its actions; it rapes and pillages the
Earth of its non-renewable resources without paying for them, without a
care for the needs of future generations or the lives it wastes and destroys
along the way. It cares only for itself; its appetite consumes everything and
everyone without pity or mandate.
42 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
taken out of context, broken down into its component parts, wrapped in its
own illusory proof, history and language, then massaged and nuanced with
lies and misinformation by its own “experts” to be acceptable to the
blinded public. We never get the whole picture or see the truth of our
interconnected dilemma. Distraction, distraction and more distraction is
the way the Monster silences our problems.
We lose while the ruling class, the Monster and the cause of our problems,
get away free. Accountability? No, the Monster makes the law, controls
our view of it and promotes our weaknesses, our fear and our
vulnerabilities to get its way. Smiling sweetly, the Monster threatens us
with more economic suffering “for our own good” if we don’t toe its line
and comply; so we fall in line and we die inside.
The Monster is devouring us for its own power and profit, trampling our
lives and our human rights under a corporate jackboot. No one seems to
notice the Monster closing in on us; our need for money blinds us,
believing having more of everything will empower our self-belief. No one
is angry or even emotional about the extra-regular global problems facing
us, even though they threaten the future of every person on Earth; we are
consumed with “getting by as best we can”
We have cause to be both angry and emotional, but we have stifled our
righteous indignation and surrendered our right to get angry. We show no
anger because we have accepted anger as the expression of emotion,
uncivilized and to be avoided. We are politically correct we frown on the
complaints and protests of other people in the face of the horrors of
endless human and planetary disasters.
The Monster is in each one of us. We are dizzy with fear, staring into a
future of oblivion while corporations steal our resistance with advertising
glory and vast teams of lawyers who divert our attention to bury its crimes
and carry on unhindered.
Successive governments have failed to deliver honesty, fairness or justice.
They subdue and mismanage our response to the Monster and have fed it
so well, we are sucked dry of our life power. We don’t, can't and won't
face the truth; we are in denial, we have failed ourselves.
Our lives are being systematically decimated by the greed of every alien
psychopath hidden in a rich man’s corporate suit, smiling sweetly as it
turns us against each other, steals the future and takes from our wallet.
44 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
The Monster lives unseen in our midst, deeply penetrating our hearts and
minds, its destructiveness injuring everything on Earth, ruining our ability
to think, feel, reason, and enjoy life. “Thou shalt obey” lives in the minds
of the politicians who launch wars, lie to voters, and continually favor the
rich with tax breaks. Thou shalt obey is in every manager who bullies his
employees as if he were superior and entitled to hurt others.
The Monster impairs our reasoning and critical thinking; it stifles our
heartfelt feelings and warps our moral processes. We must obey and shut
up.
In the clutches of the Monster’s infectious psychopathic disease we are its
clone; selfish, predatory, and manipulative. We accept the Monster as the
inevitable expression of human development, but in truth it has trained us
to do its will and take what we are given.
To protect and feed yourself and your family, you must surrender your life
to the will to the Monster’s commandment “Thou Shalt.” You will obey or
be excluded and thrown into desperate poverty.
All government investigatory systems are deliberately underfunded in
order that the appearance of justice can be maintained, while gross
criminal fraud, massive pollution, the destruction of lives and the abuse of
human rights by banks, oil companies, global corporations and the
American government can create insane profit, unchallenged and never
prosecuted.
When psychopathic entities recognize similar characteristics to their
own in our politicians, they will try to get into their energy and live
there.
UNKNOWN
There is no escape from the realities of our interconnected
interdependence with each other; we think we are independent and
separate people but we are not. Our global problems, coupled with our
national, local, and individual problems, are happening to all of us
spontaneously and simultaneously, in a continuous, contiguous, tortuous
relationship with ourselves, our planet, and each other.
This is the setting for the Monster of Capitalism’s continuous and
homicidal global rampage for power, influence and control. Our planet
THE MONSTER OF CAPITALISM 45
and its populations are little more than a food source for the Monster in its
insatiable hunger. Its lawless, uninhibited growth causes misery, poverty,
starvation, homelessness, and unemployment. It causes uncontrollable
rises in costs of food, energy, water and living expenses; global unrest and
climate change. We live in fear as it escalates permeating every aspect of
our lives;
Politicians and power brokers do not have the answers to our escalating
problems. Money can’t stop the problems; the shit is constantly moving
ever closer toward the fan. Unrealistic human optimism is a pervasive
human trait that influences everything from personal relationships to
politics and finance, preventing us from remembering undesirable
information about our odds of dying or being hurt.
Fear tells us we must get rich as fast as we can, any way we can. We must
follow the Monster’s example and crush our colleagues, neighbors and
friends as soon as we can because each new global problem fuses with
those already existing and it’s consuming our future like a forest fire.
Soon we will need every penny we can get to defend ourselves from the
Monster’s escalating onslaught of economic, environmental, racial, social
and political oppression, brought on in the name of the Monster’s need to
suck the world dry. Trouble is coming; you can feel it in your bones.
Unconsciously, in the heart of you, your intuition "knows the truth" you
are living in growing fear for yourself and your family. Yet you say
nothing, do nothing; you accept everything, and bury your outrage, while
the status quo demands your silent obedience for your wages.
CORPORATE PSYCHOPATH
profit, through the destruction of regular people’s lives both directly and
indirectly.
Corporate psychopaths smile as they steal your life from you, seeking
nothing more than their own wealth and power at your expense. Like
regular murdering psychopaths, corporate psychopaths take what they
want and they do not care how they hurt you and your family to get it.
Unlike serial killer psychopaths, corporate psychopaths are not luring a
single victim into a position where they can kill them. They are luring as
many as millions of regular people into fear, pollution, poverty, misery, in
order to legally profit off of their backs, whilst ushering them toward ill
health and an early death.
Serial killers, even if they murder one hundred people, are rank amateurs
when stacked up against corporate psychopaths who are damaging or
killing the precious lives of millions, discharging carcinogens into the
atmosphere, polluting clean water, throwing people onto the streets and
destroying democracy. Corporate psychopaths are harming generations of
victims subjecting them to death by a thousand cuts.
Corporate psychopaths, unlike regular serial killers, are legally entitled to
be cruel, kill, maim, torture, poison and mentally manipulate anyone and
everyone with no penalty, little oversight and plenty of financial
encouragement.
Corporate psychopaths prey on the weakness in our democracy and
lawmakers, not using a razor or a noose but using money like a hammer to
pound their will into the governance of America, using their lawyers and
financial power to crush and diminish anyone opposing them. No police
force is hunting corporate psychopaths because no law applies to them.
They are remaking the laws to protect themselves from prosecution.
Corporate psychopaths act with impunity against all of us, to our
collective detriment. They are legally able to do just that. So we have a
world infected with corporate psychopaths who are hell-bent on more
profit, more power and having a lifestyle beyond everyone’s dreams at
everyone’s personal expense. They are getting away with it because we
allow their antisocial behavior. They are in fact growing in their monstrous
psychopathic power over all of us.
Corporate psychopaths are hidden behind layers of public relations
48 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
his own home. His actions were cold, ruthless and deeply psychopathic yet
he lived happily as an accepted member of his community while carrying
out his heinous acts unseen.
Castro’s lies and deception effectively fooled hundreds of people into
believing he was just another regular guy. No one ever thought he was
repeatedly abusing and raping three young girls for his own sadistic
gratification. No one saw through his mask; he fooled everyone in every
situation for ten years.
We do not know who the psychopaths are because they are always
hidden behind a mask of sanity that is so complete that they, like all
psychopaths, are able to carry out their extreme “violent” antisocial
behavior without detection.
Psychopaths create the true reality of a character that is NOT who they
are; it is a character they have created. We buy their look, their pretense,
their scene and their presentation. They feed us a manufactured reality; we
buy it, we are trapped in it. Regular people have an emotional heart that
pumps feelings through their veins, while psychopaths have no emotional
heart. They listen only to their own desires and greed at your expense.
They believe they are entitled to do exactly what they want and they do
not care who gets hurt.
To psychopaths, emotions are pure abstractions which they continually
fake for their own ends. They are highly skilled at getting what they want.
They have no problem using, ruining, harming or destroying people’s
lives. Cold, heartless and cruel they have no “moral compass” and exist
completely outside of any conscience.
Psychopaths are full of cynicism, inhumanity and moral self-deception.
They spend every waking moment figuring out how to get more of what
they want on their terms, their way, no matter what, no matter whom.
They will go to any length within the law to achieve their selfish goals at
someone else’s expense. They seem unable to understand or respond to
others’ needs and feelings unless they coincide with their own.
They act impulsively, without regard for consequences. They tend to gain
pleasure or satisfaction by being sadistic or aggressive toward others.
They blame others for their own failures or shortcomings and believe their
THE MONSTER OF CAPITALISM 51
their story without hesitation, or they stand by their lie and call out those
that dare question their integrity as liars. Does this reminds you of how the
rich, the politicians and the corporatists act toward us? The media spreads
the lies to the general public and when we are informed of their lies no one
reacts or complains and no action is taken against the perpetrators. Lying
has been made acceptable to all of us.
A psychopath manifests itself in extremely selfish behavior at the expense
of everyone and anyone who gets in its way. It uses deceit, fear and cold-
blooded destruction to manipulate, undermine and destroy those people
and things it sees as a threat or an impediment to its progress.
Psychopaths feel no guilt, shame or remorse for their extreme antisocial
behavior. They show no compassion, love, sympathy or care toward their
victims, the public or the common good. They have no conscience. We
accept the public face they present to us as real but it is a false face, a
mask of sanity we cannot see through or detect.
Psychopaths are not human; they are missing the essential psychological
elements that epitomize what it means to be human. They are psychopaths
who want absolute power. They don’t care one iota about you, your family
or your planet.
They must be held accountable for the suffering they cause human beings.
They must be fired from the controlling interests our society and regulated
for the safety and survival of all of us. Human beings have the essential
elements of moral conscience and experience feelings of love, empathy
and compassion for, and in cooperation with their fellow man.
Psychopaths do not.
Psychopaths want what they want, when they want it, and will kill for it, if
necessary. As politicians, they are pushing their demands on everyone,
forcing it down our throats for their gratification and corporate profit.
There are approximately 12 million or more psychopaths in the USA,
cold-blooded people whose only motivation is to gratify themselves at
your expense for their benefit.
Question) What separates a regular person from the power to disarm the
psychopaths?
Answer) Psychopaths are given the same human rights as human beings
but they do not behave like human being or support human beings or the
THE MONSTER OF CAPITALISM 53
common good. Wearing the mask of sanity they look human but they are
not human. We are ruled by psychopaths; a different species than human
beings. Let’s stop fudging the issue. We must define what it is to be
human.
Know the collateral damage and antisocial actions of psychopaths and
big money corporations. We are their prey. They are predators at war
with Humanity - killing everything for their own profit including poor
people, the environment, the seas, the air, the ecosystems and the
planet.
KNOW THEM
BY THEIR FRUITS
Beware of the false prophets
who come to you in sheep's clothing
but inwardly are ravening wolves
Know them by their fruits
MATTHEW 7:15 (KJV)
difficult to recognize because they have no true feelings. They are the
master manipulators and liars living behind a mask of sanity.
Know them by their fruits of their labor. What have they produced? Who
did they destroy to get it? What have they done for Humanity? How do
they treat their employees? Did they make a thousand million dollars
while paying their employees as little as lawfully allowed?
Know them by the acts of compassion, not their charity; which is a tax
write-off. How many public buildings did they buy for the community?
How many schools? How many student scholarships have they financed?
Do they support social programs for the poor?
Are they committed to social justice?
Psychopaths do not care about you and so they do nothing to help you.
They do not want you educated because you will criticize them and so
they plan to keep you down and stupid while their kids are bred to rule us.
All avenues for a change for the better are closing. The world is going
down the toilet and we are flushing it. Our natural sense of optimism and
belief in the goodness of people deludes us. We do not condemn our rulers
for their crimes.
We have no laws to protect us or restrain our psychopathic rulers because
we do not classify their evil actions as crimes even though they create
massive crimes against the welfare of regular people who are defenseless
against the wealth and desires of psychopaths. Every human value is being
replaced with corporate values; a psychopath’s values.
Don’t be fooled. We are not just going through a phase and soon
everything will be just fine. The end is nigh. Soon we will face the horrors
of environmental collapse, food wars, fascism, the underclass, and martial
law. The psychopathic 1% will hoard untold riches while everyone else
will be dehumanized and made obedient to the corporate code or die.
We must recognize and act against psychopathic corporate behavior that is
not compassionate before we are homogenized into a slave mentality by
the will of global corporations, the greatest-ever enemy of humanity. It is
our innate duty and our natural responsibility to stand up and push back.
For us as prosocial beings, it is important to understand and communicate
the idea that the political right-wing conservatives will always be
THE MONSTER OF CAPITALISM 55
destructive and sacrifice human life if they think it makes economic sense.
They do not endorse prosocial values of love, compassion and care for
corporations, politics, and the law; quite the opposite in fact. The fruits of
prominent politicians have made an all out assault on welfare payments
for our poorest children while refusing to ask for a dime from the richest
1% or from the wealthy corporations.
Psychopathic “fruits” slash and trash hundreds of billions of dollars from
child and family nutrition, health, child care, education, and child
protection services, in order to extend and maintain tax cuts for
millionaires and billionaires.
Malnutrition and starvation are happening on such a vast scale because
world food supplies are controlled by the rich and powerful who screw us
for corporate profit and their own psychopathic agenda. Do not give
psychopaths a second chance. Do not try to understand their motivations,
no more political commentary comparing their views with ours.
Psychopaths will always destroy us if we are not profitable to them.
Psychopaths are killing us; no army of lawyers or secret tribunal should
save them from the stinging justice of the people.
Our politicians are employed by the people for the benefit of the people.
They act against us as they promise a better future, as their policies shoot
millions of lives to pieces. In our hearts we must recognize the need for
justice and take to the streets in millions. We must take down the
psychopaths with the same vigor and hatefulness they promise us.
Members of Congress are millionaires, out of touch, unreasonable and
unjust. They are pampered, respected and high handed; seeking power.
They live the life of kings and they think they deserve it because they are,
after all, “better” than us. These are our great leaders, changers of history.
They are eager to make themselves rich and powerful in the name of “The
American People.”
Politicians are contemptuous of the public, except when they want to be
elected. They are traitors to the needs of the people that they were elected
to serve and are paid to serve. Fire them! There are no bounds to their
appetite to control us for profit.
Like us, they watch TV news and like us they see millions out of work,
living below the poverty line. They see the failing infrastructure, the
56 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
homeless, the sick and the imprisoned. They see the jobless, the
disenfranchised immigrants, the relentless gun crimes, the black voters
deprived of their votes and they do absolutely nothing to help. Know them
by their fruits!
Like bad fruit, I smell the evil stink of oppression, its smell is everywhere,
pumped into the atmosphere of our daily lives by those who hate equality
and think they are superior to us.
The evil stench of oppression chokes our lives and leaves us feeling sick,
nauseated, angry, bewildered and confused. It permeates us heart and
mind. It empties us of our natural selves polluting our critical thinking
faculties. This is the work of the psychopathic ruling class.
Ancient Rome has been the dominant political model for Europe and the
US because it continues to benefit the wealthy few at the expense of the
many.
PSYCHOPATHS
ARE NOT HUMAN
They want us to be like them, heartless.
reduced to sheep, unable to find our way back to the humanness we once
knew.
We are led to watch right-wing movies and TV shows embracing the
psychopaths poisonous ideology. The mainstream media, owned and
controlled by the few, bring us only the news they want to bring us, in the
way they want it brought to us. They frame the parameters of the news,
showing us only what supports their antisocial point of view. They claim
they care for each of us while they promote and enforce the opposite.
They have the public believing the political right is always right. The
media gives right-wing conservatives more news coverage than those on
the left. Behind closed doors the ruling class write laws to keep us infected
with their psychopathic capitalist disease to keep control of America
permanently.
The electorate’s insanity is that we treat these infected individuals as
normal human beings with a just a different point of view. We think they
are like us. We examine their arguments. We give credibility to their
insanity. We discuss their views that fill the airwaves with their outrageous
one sided political nonsense. There is nothing to discuss. The
psychopathic disease has them and will consume us soon.
We are too polite, too tolerant, too gullible, too accommodating and too
apathetic to remove these rotten apples from the barrel before they infect
everyone. To respect them is as ridiculous as respecting any killer, for that
is what they are beneath their fake smiles and their abuse of human our
rights.
We fail to recognize our politicians and the ruling class are infected
with the Monster of Capitalism’s psychopathic diseases.
I know you can’t or don’t want to believe those who run this country and
influence the country are infected with a psychopathic disease but their
actions, and the fruits of their crimes against us speak volumes about their
psychopathic behavior.
Will our political psychopaths feel any sense of shame, as leaders of "the
greatest country on Earth," when they increase unregulated industrial
pollution for profit or kill off millions of people? Will catastrophic weather
they have been allowed to create, make millions homeless and unleash
worldwide epidemics with no remedies available? Will they care? No,
THE MONSTER OF CAPITALISM 61
psychopaths do not care, do not feel and do not have any compassion for
anyone.
We are so confused as a nation. We put our faith in the American dream
yet those who have succeeded have effectively capitalized on their success
to the profound detriment of every other citizen, narrowing their options
and opportunities, oppressing their hope, their truth and their resolve.
We have lost our way. We are the sheep who feed the wolves, who kill us
for their own ends. We are the fools who look in awe at those who have
wealth to burn and pray life's lottery will embrace us and ensure we too
will soon be rich. And so, we kneel to them, their false idols and the
insinuated threats they create and promote.
The ruling class and global corporations want to own the world and have
our politicians and government under their highly profitable, totalitarian
control.
Politicians, paid by corporations, take aid from the vulnerable poor and
give tax breaks to the rich, even though they own almost everything
anyway. Their psychopathic, authoritarian antisocial behavior constantly
and directly threatens our lives, it is sadistic, self-righteous, all consuming,
ruthless and controlling. Collectively they have created in us a nest of
blind, gnawing worms eating away at our minds with fear and worry,
stealing our future, freaking us out. There is no escape in America .
The Monster’s psychopathic diseases have created and demonized a vast
growing and permanent underclass. Disempowered by a lack of good
paying jobs, unemployment and wage inequality, they are forced to obey
the abuse of the corporations or die.
The Monster has smothered democracy, destroyed the climate, and
cultivated a tyrannical corporate criminal class of fabulously wealthy
overlords who bend us to their selfish will without a care for us or our
children’s lives.
Every human mind is the Monster’s psychopathic disease causing us
to forget our empathy, our conscience and our benevolence. Now at crisis
point, Humanity stands lost and confused at a crossroads facing certain
extinction.
Across the board, politicians from the President down are complicit in,
62 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
and adding to the damage and danger we live in every day. They know
what’s going on yet they do nothing to remedy the situation. They feed the
Monster of our time.
Their actions or lack of action causes endless fear and stress for every
regular man, woman and child in the USA. Politicians therefore are
committing crimes against the health of the people.
The people have no voice against the sins of the politicians who promise
lies to get elected but once elected forget the voter. The voter has no voice
and feels helpless, betrayed, angry and cynical while the politicians
promise they are working in our best interest, while life gets worse each
year.
Corporate crimes are not little or excusable. Either our politicians come
down hard on the promoters of their psychopathic actions against us or
they should be charged with the crimes they condone. Corporations are the
living expression of an expanding, murderous psychopathic Monster;
acting as legalized predators they objectify people, treating them as
fungible entities to be “conquered” and “used,” by every “legal” means
necessary.
Controlling and exploiting human weakness, needs, behavior and thinking,
corporations don’t give a damn about the health, feelings, justice or
survival of anyone.
The Monster’s psychopathic disease does not concern itself with its
overwhelming pollution of the planet; it ignores the climate change it
causes and it is draining our planet’s natural resources to ensure its own
survival and profitability.
It has none of the constraints of human morality, it lies, cheats, steals and
commit atrocious crimes against people and the planet continuously,
buying political control of governments to ensure it gets what it wants,
irrespective of the misery, suffering or poverty it causes us.
Big corporations have bought the government, their lackeys stand ready
like gnomes ready to do their corporate will to unleash endless unfair
practices and unflinching economic injustice on you and your family,
bringing their climate-denying, life-destroying psychopathic authoritarian
laws down on your head.
THE MONSTER OF CAPITALISM 63
Infected with the Monster’s disease, your politicians do not care about
your wants, needs or desires. They bury you in austerity and economic
pain, take away your rights, your health care, your vote and your hope.
They privatize public institutions and sell them to the ruling class in the
name of austerity for you, not them. Obedient to the evils of the Monster’s
psychopathic disease, both political parties encourage the corporate abuse
of power, against the best interest of the people they represent.
Having ignored their own empathy, sympathy, conscience and
compassion, having surrendered to the law of the ruling class and their
corporations, they sell out the last vestiges of our democracy for their own
or corporate reward, installing corporate economic policy, turning the
public into disposable, consumer-able workers.
If you protest as is your right, they will authorize our militarized police to
tear gas you, assault you and shoot you; filling our prisons, putting our
cities under curfew and martial law until you submit to the corporate will
that says, “We must protect corporate property not the public, for without
corporations there would be nothing.”
In the past, we have witnessed politicians’ cruel and unfeeling behavior in
their destruction of every sane effort to make economic progress for
regular people, shutting down the government, obstructing all policies for
job creation and education, while cutting pensions and killing unions.
The ruling class uses your tax dollars to pay for new wars
ignoring our failing infrastructure and denying
our needs at home.
On bended knee to the 1%, almost every politician left or right kneels to
big corporations, rewarding them for their patronage with votes, tax breaks
and loopholes without a thought for the needs of regular working people.
They do not stand up for you.
They make you pay always. Their puppet corporate media mouths blame
every problem they cause themselves, on everyone but themselves,
brainwashing the punch drunk public with their political double talk and
chameleon lies in service of their corporate masters. Demand
accountability from corporations and politicians; push for individual,
economic and climate justice or get used to destruction of you and the
world.
64 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
The ruling class, the big corporations and the filthy rich will let you die;
they have the means to escape and what it takes to buy survival for their
families and themselves away from the world they are destroying. You
can’t get away, you can’t escape, your survival is in jeopardy and the
worst is yet to come. This is the psychopathic Monster of Capitalism at
work.
Our political, justice and government systems are under the control of
private corporations and respond not to truth or morality but to the desire
for profit.
Question everything: every promise, every pledge, every fact,
every poll, every act of charity - Question everything.
Life is dying the creeping death created by unseen psychopaths hiding in
plain sight wearing the mask of sanity. Every day more blood is sucked
out of us in the name of progress while we are fried like chickens in a
climate barbeque.
The public stands by and politely accepts the poisoning of our democratic
process calling it "free speech." Our “leaders’” carefully crafted
messaging is helping others to become mentally sick; expressions of the
same Monster’s psychopathic disease.
The media, the pundits and the news services spell out how vastly unequal
is our country, but there is no public outrage or reaction in the streets. Why
are we not reacting to this abuse? Maybe it is because we need
corporations for jobs to feed the families we love.
Are we are frightened for ourselves or frightened of the psychopaths in our
police and our prisons?
Can see no alternative but to submit? We don’t want to rock the boat, lose
our jobs and the little money we do have. The Monster is in control.
We are trapped. We are living in an every-man-for-himself, dog-eat-dog
world, and a hypocritical, dislike-your-neighbor-as-yourself world of
misrepresentation and endless apathy. To the psychopaths we are weak,
willing prey. To them, our emotions are pure meaningless abstractions.
Our power as individuals is stolen from us more each day as we try to
survive swimming against the current of their insidious, antihuman profit
making. We cannot accept their indirect-violence and extreme antisocial
THE MONSTER OF CAPITALISM 65
behavior toward us, psychopaths are running our lives, confiscating our
freedom and trashing our futures for their short term profit. They are
killing us.
They tell us psychopaths are human and are entitled to human rights and
but if they are never act in a human way - are they still human? We
assume psychopaths are human. They have the same features, limbs etc.
but they are different inside. They are extremely antisocial, they don't like
you and they are gonna make you pay and then, humiliate you.
Psychopaths wear a mask of sanity. It has us all fooled because they are
seamless actors – you can’t see the join. You can’t detect them. The fruits
of their actions show they are inhuman, ruining and compromising the life
of tens of millions of humans for their own wealth and gratification.
Psychopathy is a virus, a cancer, or a habitual way of life but it creates
uncaring, nasty evil human haters. Their destructiveness is absolute, their
present course of action is suicidal and will leave us all dead on a dead
planet.
Psychopaths are not human. They are anti-human, acting inhumanly. They
have none of the qualities we associate with a good person. No
compassion, no empathy etc. Psychopaths are not human and should be
seen, identified and labeled as the psychopaths they are.
PSYCHOPATHIC ENTITIES
In seeking our own rewards, we look to those corporations who run our
lives and see them crushing us under their own psychopathic nature. They
have allowed their greed to prevent them from feeling or knowing the
truth about themselves or us
We accept the accept the extreme antisocial behavior of corporate CEO’s
We think we are their equals and see them as hard working, intelligent,
deserving and special. They see themselves as distinctly “superior,”
holding us in contempt. “Superior” psychopaths are responsible for the
world’s worst problems.
They are draining our shared planet of everything because they can and we
allow it, worshiping at the altar of their achievement. How can we blame
them, to deny them would deny ourselves.
The corporate media celebrate the rich and powerful corporations as great
achievers. Could it be that we are all fooled, not realizing we are infected
with a corporate psychopathic disease and a laying down our human rights
for business?
We the public, in our naivety, applaud psychopathic corporations, its white
collar businessmen and its predatory behavior because we want to have
their wealth and power, free from the groveling of poverty and despair.
Corporations generous donations to charity is a shill, a tax write-off, cheap
publicity to tell the people they are kind and decent they respect us and are
worthy of our respect. Make no mistake, corporations are ravenous
wolves, you cannot tame them or change their behavior for they are
psychopathic greed machines.
All those with power over millions of lives at whatever level must be
committed to conscience, compassion and care for other people as a
prerequisite to holding any office.

Empathy creates higher prosociality and lowers anti-sociality.
consideration is for themselves and their profits, rather than facing their
responsibilities to their fellow man and the welfare of the planet.
Although they will claim they have no moral obligation to police the
projects put before them, nor to act with compassion and empathy toward
people and planet, we must remind them that their lives, like ours,
increasingly hang in the environmental balance, before they fund other
ventures that further hasten environmental and human collapse in the
name of their right to make a profit at anyone’s expense.
The ruling class is at the very zenith of the money supply chain. In the
present growing humanitarian and climate crisis, it is the ruling class who
ultimately control every aspect of human and planetary health. It is
tantamount to gross stupidity to allow those addicted to psychopathic
power without conscience or compassion to continue to fund and build
industries that have a terrifying destructive negative effect on the
environment, the planet and its people.
The ruling class remains unchallenged, resulting in endless economic,
environmental and human war disasters that could have been avoided by
outlawing power without conscience.
Humanity’s future hangs in the balance and the ruling class must be held
to account and be persuaded to cease funding our world’s further
destruction. The continued use of psychopathic power without conscience
is insanity.
There is no democracy in America. Our vote is worthless. Our influence
over our “elected” government is nil. The psychopaths of the ruling class
and their political sycophants control everything. Politicians do what they
want. They have no concern for us.
“Democracy” is a meaningless slogan, created by the ruling class to win
us over every day, to keep us stupefied.
We swoon to its intoxicants and starry eyed, we obey. Let us keep count of
the ruling class’ fruits. They are taking advantage of our human nature and
secretly and legally trading on our good nature.
They are ruining regular people’s lives in broad daylight.

daily lives must change from being governed by the greed of multi-
millionaires to having our own method of independent self-governance.
Morally, every politician, corporate head, banker, power broker and
religious leader who holds power and sway over thousands of lives should
possess compassion, empathy and care and show it in thought, word, and
deed. Politicians especially, must demonstrate a history of compassion. If
they fail to show compassion in their speech and actions, they must be
exposed, shamed, shunned and lose their jobs because they can’t “serve
the best interest of the American people.”
Politicians, bankers, CEOs and those holding power over people’s lives
must provide proof of their compassionate acts and pledge to future acts of
compassion. These leaders and rulers must be periodically examined for
symptoms of psychopathic personality disorder with tests – whether lie
detector tests, PET, MRI, CT or SPECT scans – to ensure they are with us
and not against us.
Regular people have the right to know if those controlling their lives have
their best interest at heart or if they have an evil intent. Like any
psychopath the corporate machine needs a mask. It must wear the face of
someone we see as often as we see our next-door neighbors (like Kim
Kardashian).
Celebrities might inhabit your life, but they are not your friends.
Regardless of the intentions of those on whom it is bequeathed,
celebrity is the lieutenant of exploitation. Let’s turn our neighbors
back into our neighbors, and turn our backs on those who
impersonate them.

Corporations operate behind a public mask of sanity; a corporate veil or a

present themselves as other than they are. They are fake, not real, not
human, just plain antisocial psychopaths, ready to destroy lives for profit.
The white collar psychopaths of government, bankers, oligarchs and the
ruling class are infected with a psychopathic virus.
Presently, both individual psychopaths and psychopathic corporations are
accepted as normal and caring of regular people. What they tell us is lies;
fake news. People, and truth no longer rule.

Humanity is accepting eventual de-population by allowing

NEOLIBERALISM
Kneel or Starve
Neoliberalism is a self-serving racket that exempts billionaires and
large corporations from the constraints of democracy, from paying
their taxes, from not polluting, from having to pay fair wages, from
not exploiting their workers. Neoliberalism: How a ruthless network
of super-rich ideologues killed choice and destroyed people’s faith in
politics.
GEORGE MONBIOT.
Neoliberalism = austerity, deindustrialization, anti-unionism, endless war
and globalization — to empower and enrich the rich. Kneel or Starve. We
see the lives of regular people in America and across the world confused
ruined and destroyed because there is no money for people or the
government services that allows society to function.
At the heart of economic decline stands the almost invisible ideology of
neoliberalism, the private and public financialization of everything.
Seldom recognized as an ideology, neoliberalism has redefined citizens as
consumers and competition as the defining characteristic of human
relations, where the process rewards merit and punishes inefficiency.
Neoliberalism’s anonymity is both a symptom and cause of its power.
It has played a major role in a remarkable variety of crises: the
financial meltdown of 2007-8, the offshoring of wealth and power, the
slow collapse of public health and education, resurgent child poverty,
the epidemic of loneliness, the collapse of ecosystems, the rise of
fascism ideology. Neoliberalism was created to serve the interests of
the ruling class. Neoliberalism promises you freedom to fight for your
own survival unaided.
GEORGE MONBIOT
The Free Market economy was created by psychopaths to advantage
psychopaths. It destroys everything other than itself, like a cancer
devouring the healthy tissue of its host.
It is the profoundly anti-democratic nature of neoliberalism backed by the
authoritarianism of the neoconservatives that should surely be the main
focus of political struggle.
84 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
The whole point of neo-liberalists is that they do not want Democracy and
believe the country/world should be in the control of powerful
authoritarians who direct the fate of all human beings. But it is
incompatible with its professed goals of helping the poor and protecting
the environment.
Neoliberalism rules the market, free from the state, or government
restriction, for capital, goods and services. The market is self-regulating,
allowing the “trickle down” notion of wealth distribution and includes the
deunionizing of labor forces and removal of any impediments to capital
mobility, such as regulations.
The democratic deficit in nominally “democratic” countries such as the
US is now enormous. Political representation is compromised and
corrupted by money power, to say nothing of an all too easily manipulated
and corrupted electoral system. Basic institutional arrangements are
seriously biased. Senators from twenty-six states with less than 20% of the
population have more than half the votes to determine the Congressional
legislative agenda.
The blatant gerrymandering of congressional districts gives the advantage
to whoever is in power, furthermore, deemed constitutional by a judicial
system increasingly packed with political appointees of a neoconservative
persuasion.
The ideological and physical hold of American imperial power, buttressed
by the utopian ideology of neoliberalism and global capitalism, is
unraveling. Most, including many of those at the heart of the American
empire, recognize that every promise made by the proponents of
neoliberalism is a lie.
Global wealth, rather than being spread equitably, as neoliberal proponents
promised, has been funneled upward into the hands of a rapacious, ruling
class, creating vast economic inequality.
The working poor, whose unions and rights have been taken from them
and whose wages have stagnated or declined over the past 40 years, have
been thrust into chronic poverty and underemployment, making their lives
one long, stress-ridden emergency.

and offered factory jobs are boarded-up wastelands. Prisons are

A merica, once the land of opportunity for every American, is now the
land of the unelected ruling class. In pursuance of their own agenda
they have denied even the most “commonsense” needs of regular people
and put the health of the nation at risk.
The ruling class is operating unseen and unidentified, hidden behind a veil
of secrecy, advancing American Capitalist Imperialism through their
control of the American military, the banks and the oil and gas industry.
Under their leadership, the military industrial complex kills thousands of
people in support of their policy of endless war. The banks suck the
economic life out of millions of families at will, while the oil and gas
industry destroys the environment, the climate, and the very air we
breathe.
The ruling class pursuit of power and profit is unprecedented and
destructively antisocial, allowing nothing and no one to stand in their way
of the unlimited control of all policies foreign and domestic. To that end,
they have purchased our politicians and written our laws, giving
themselves unregulated, unilateral power at the expense of the American
people.
Our rights are wronged. Democracy is a corpse killed dead by the miasma
of the ruling class’ greed and hypocrisy. It is evil, deceitful and
manipulative. It knows no compassion, remorse, empathy, guilt or
conscience as it tortures, dismembers and kills for profit.
The ruling class is invisible to the public eye, hidden beneath an
undetectable mask of sanity no one can see through. Unable to feel
"normal" human emotions or sympathy, they dominate and subdue their
victims. So convincing is their mask, no one dares question their matter-

We must retire the ruling class from all political power structures and
create a humane, compassionate, egalitarian, just and life-affirming global
human society, ending poverty, by redistributing the riches of the ruling
class to regular people, or Humanity will be made extinct in this century.
Could it actually be that the ruling class is in fact psychopaths hidden from
public view and scrutiny, who practice extreme antisocial behavior on
Humanity for their own gain? We are unable to control or end their
domination because our leaders and politicians are under the control of the
ruling class, having been compromised, blackmailed and brought to their
knees in service of the ruling class at the expense of the climate and all
Humanity?
I can only see one way to change anything fast enough to save us from the
expanding political terror facing America because every other avenue for
change is blocked by false facts, restrictive laws and political corruption.
No amount of voting, money or protest will alter the course we are on.
We need a new non-violent tactic. Those who are paid to represent and
protect us, when judged by the "fruits" of their actions, are "so-called"
non-violent predator psychopaths, exhibiting extremely antisocial
behavior toward those in their realm, resulting in the insidious destruction
of the climate, Humanity and the future of all of us.
America’s public enemy number one is psychopathic thinking. It is the
deadly defining principle that runs unregulated through our political
representatives, government and big corporate capitalism. Accepted as
normal by successful people, psychopaths are hidden behind a "mask of
sanity" and show no compassion, conscience, guilt or remorse whatsoever
for the plight of the American public.
Their lack of empathy results in self-serving action that is consistently
abusive and hostile toward regular people and the common good. They act
in direct contradiction to the shared values we accept that define us as
human beings. They exhibit the "collateral damage" traits of so called non-
violent psychopaths, and are, by definition, not human beings.
Should they then be allowed to govern human beings or have human
rights? Or should we hold them to recognized human standards and

Our farmers assume the water is passing health standards, but the

representatives, even though oil company activities are designed to get
more profit and political power for those companies, irrespective of the
harm they cause to the environment and the public health and welfare.

drilling activities on land and sea have polluted our oceans and ripped
apart our climate. Oil company political power has bound us to them,
killed our human rights and tortured millions with the poisonous effluent
they create.
The public accepts themselves as powerless victims of the oil companies.
They live in denial and they hope that some miracle will save them and
their children from the oil company pollution of their water, air and food.
They hope the government will save them or that oil companies will do
“the right thing” but big oil continues to expand.
Big oil knowingly, willingly and happily destroys the health and well
being of their human victims and the planet, for their own huge profit,
their overwhelming political power and their sadistic enjoyment of their
own huge profit. Therefore, consider this: Big oil company activities act
like psychopaths and create the same result as the killer psychopath
Dennis Rader, aka BTK, but their crimes are bigger, much bigger.
Dennis Rader is the American serial killer who called himself BTK. "Bind,
Torture, Kill” illustrated his preferred method of murder. Like all
psychopaths, Rader thought he was entitled to practice whatever obscene
activities he wanted on his victims; terrifying them, to satisfy his
murderous urges to bind, torture and kill. He had a charming public
persona; he was always ready to help people and like many serial killers,
he was very personable, charitable and known for his good works. He was
a cub-scout leader and was elected to be President of his local Lutheran
Church Council.
In discussing Dennis Rader’s “Bind, Torture, Kill” serial killer activities,
we are also compelled to compare the murderous killing activity carried
out on a much larger scale by Chevron, Shell, BP and the Koch Brothers
etc. Big oil companies are psychopaths. They bind us with their laws they
write. They torture us, destroying our health, economics and environment
while their pollution kills the planet.
Oil company psychopaths don’t want to be exposed as serial killers; they
thrive on deceit and lies, spending billions to convince us they are “just
like us,” reasonable, caring, loving, human beings. When all is said and
done, they too “Bind Torture and Kill” and like psychopaths, big oil’s
motives are hidden behind a facade of friendly human warmth.

SELFRIGHTEOUSNESS
IS WRONG
Can we understand crazy, if we do not know what crazy is?
LAWYERS RULE
First thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Armies of lawyers are an integral part of human life; they are the unseen
power behind everything, everywhere in America and the world. Lawyers
are behind everything we touch, everything we possess, everything we do,
everything we want, everything we don’t want, every aspect of money,
crime, trade, taxes, war, lobbyists, corporations, government and all
human rights.
To defend yourself, or even make a legal point, you must have a lawyer.
To retain and use a lawyer you have to pay them a lot of money. The law
is supposed to work for justice for all. The ordinary citizen, who, like
most, is living paycheck to paycheck, is now unable to afford to engage a
lawyer for their personal defense or in prosecution of wrongdoing against
them, no matter what the crime. Justice is no longer served unless you can
afford it. Those with endless funds can tie up the courts, diminish the law
and defy the most obvious wrongdoing, by employing teams of lawyers to
clear them of guilt.
The Ruling Class controls all justice and the justice system in America.
Poor innocents are labeled criminals, prosecuted and jailed, while the rich
criminals of industry, politics, banking and the military are literally labeled
innocent in the name of the law that lawyers control and always create.
The ruling class has lawyers for every iota of life, every plan, every claim
and every defense and prosecution. Every product and service we buy,
every aspect of human activity from birth to death, every regulation, every
vote, every bit of surveillance, every politician every corporation, all have
their army of highly paid carnivorous lawyers behind them, ready to
defend or prosecute their every plan, every action, every move and every
innovation.
There is no escape. Lawyers are the war machines of the wealthy. They are
the key players and planners of all our American lives whether we like it
or not or see them or not. They wield the axe of destruction or the shield
of defense for whoever pays them the most money, irrespective of the
truth.
PSYCHOPATHIC THINKING 101
Lawyers are seldom concerned with justice. They are not paid to be just,
they are paid to win for their client, no matter what or whom they have to
hurt, bankrupt or crush to win their case. They are paid big to win big.
They create law, translate law and use the law in any and every way in
order to win.
Lawyers are always on the side of their wealthy paymasters. They are
cold, amoral, and mercenary; for them, money talks and justice walks.
Lawyers are not concerned with justice; they are by definition hard-nosed
conservatives only on the side of their client, right or wrong.
In court, lawyers of accepted and supposed impeccable character playing
the role of the “Pillars of Society to audience.” Their devious theatrical
performances are those of professional actors, creating dramatic artful
scenes and historical references to convince the usually “economically-
insecure” jury of their client’s righteousness or not. If their client is
inhumane, they will hammer the nails in the coffin of the righteous as
happily as they would any criminal.
Lawyers intimidate most regular people; they represent the law, the police,
authority, righteousness and control. They are formidable weapons in the
hands of their clients. Their job is to prove what their client wants them to
prove. The law is always on their side and beyond the ken of regular folk,
placing regular people at a distinct disadvantage, putting them into a
vulnerable position of being unable to defend themselves or understand
what the law is.
The law is so damned complicated it demands a lawyer to disentangle
right from wrong. Regular people must have a “good” lawyer, without one
they are defenseless, doomed to lose. No one can do anything without a
lawyer. The more money you have, the more law and lawyers you can
have and the more power you have to diminish your opposition’s
argument over the weak, no matter how just their cause might be.
Only the ruling class, governments and corporations can afford
armies of lawyers, only they rich can defend and attack justice.
Justice for those who can’t afford it doesn't exist.
Lawyers make it impossible for the public to right wrongs and
prosecute the criminality of corporations, politicians, polluters and
white collar and economic and criminality. Lawyers are the control
mechanism of the ruling class.
102 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
Lawyers are the defenders of those who can afford them, they are the
prosecutors of the poor not their defenders. If a corporation is destroying
the environment, scamming the voting system or destroying the lives of
thousands, lawyers support their clients desires; right or wrong.
Ordinary people with problems are always on the losing side of their battle
for justice. Lawyers do not play fair, they favor the rich and powerful; they
do not care if you live or die, they only care about arranging the law to suit
their client’s and their own purposes. Lawyer represent the rich white
collar psychopaths who want more wealth and power at the expense of
ordinary citizens so they can take advantage of us and put us where they
think we belong; under their authoritarian dictates for their profit and
amusement.
The truth is lost; our hope for justice is gone. Our society is in the clench
of the law and its abstract hieroglyphics. Only lawyers put the rich on top
of everyone else, they can always win no matter what.
The ruling class’ agenda rules because their money controls the law and
stops most every poor persons attempt to find justice irrespective of the
legitimacy of their case. The rich client’s money enables lawyers to run
out the ordinary claimant’s ability to continue their fight. For the rich,
justice is always on your side because you can afford it.
Make crime pay, become a lawyer.

LARKEN ROSE
O ur politicians ARE effectively one and on the same side whether they
claim to be or not. Generally speaking, both the left and the right of
politics are controlled by corporate money and corporate desires.
Politicians speak with forked tongue. They are all conservatives.
The left is made up of people who (ostensibly) generally support social
change to create a more egalitarian society. They usually display a
concern for those in society who are disadvantaged relative to others
and an assumption that there are unjustified inequalities that should
be reduced or abolished.
WIKI
Right-wing conservatism made up of people who view inequality as
inevitable, natural, normal or desirable, whether it arises through
traditional social differences or from competition in market
economics. They claim that people can leave inferior status positions
and raise themselves up by changing their choices or behavior.
WIKI
Right-wing politicians oppose and destroy rational thought. They feel they
are superior to other people and therefore entitled to lie, mislead and
deceive the electorate, so they can convince the electorate into supporting
their agenda of control by their superiority.
Conservative politicians’ sense of self is rooted in wealth, power and
possessions, displacing and obscuring their relationship both with their
“emotional self” and the will of the electorate.
As a result, they are left with an irrational, delusional relationship with an
inanimate agenda that relates only to business and profit, rather than to the
needs of the electorate who is employing them. They tell themselves that
the electorate does not deserve to know the truth and couldn’t handle it
anyway because the electorate has less and is less than they are.
Their political messaging has continually misrepresented vital information
to gain public support to dominate the electorate and the media with their
agenda. Ultimately, they seek total subjugation and control of the public.
POLITRICKS 105
Conservatives would have us believe that God rewards us for getting rich
off the backs of others.
They knowingly hurt the lives of regular people by rewarding the ruling
class, giving them lower taxes and greater power toward antisocial
violence against regular people.
Their policies favor inanimate corporations and the wealthy. We citizens
allow their non-violence, be it massive pollution or economic devastation.
We assume it is the right of unregulated capitalism to destroy for people
profit, even though they and we know, their policies and non-violence are
against the will of every regular American person.
Conservatives are loyal only to business and the inanimate objects of
corporations and does not support the needs of regular people.
Conservatives voters are powered by a resentful nationalism more than a
principled conservatism. Conservative politics boils down to ethno-
nationalistic passions not governed by reason.
They are not concerned with helping people in any way or working for
their benefit on their behalf as they are sworn to do.
They are only interested in helping companies owned by the mega-donors
who fund their campaigns. Their record shows they have done nothing for
the people but give away our tax dollars to war and the wealthy. They
create legislation to benefit them.
Conservatives place the rights of corporations above the rights of people.
People’s needs are ignored in the name of corporate profit. The politicians
declare they help out the wealthy so that business will succeed and
everyone can have a job and the wealth will trickle down. Instead,
everyone, except those with fat bank accounts, find themselves working
harder and longer for less.
In the meantime, government expenditure will be cut to minimum. Why?
Supposedly, to protect the public from freeloaders and immigrants abusing
welfare programs, unemployment benefits and food stamps. The brutal
cuts to these programs vastly boost the number of people in poverty, while
denying citizens their democratic right to have any say in their future.
The corporate billionaires want every public enterprise – from water to the
Internet – privatized, including social services, health and education,
transport, the police and the military. The billionaires’ “pet politicians,”
POLITRICKS 107
argue that only free-market businesses freed from all regulation or taxation
“can save us” and create an expansion of wealth.
For them, banks and financial regulations must be gutted to allow
unfettered market forces to act “for the benefit of all.” In their committees,
the conservatives defer to the billionaires’ lawyers to write the new laws.
They trumpet the Constitution as their guiding light. They distort its true
meaning to conform to the wishes of the corporations that fund them.
Unions have long been big contributors to the so-called left-wing and
lobbying on behalf of their workers. Unions hold corporations’ feet to the
fire on wages and safety; therefore, conservatives are pledged to destroy
the unions irrespective of workers’ rights and collective bargaining.
Conservatives are against unions and union funding of elections on behalf
of workers. They have smashed union power. They challenge unions with
so-called “right-to-work” laws. Those new laws prohibit unions from
requiring non-union workers to join a union. Union power is thus
weakened even as they face an ever-more united ruling class. The police
are not included in the right to work laws because conservatives look to
the police to protect them and the corporations they are funded by.
With their union representation enfeebled, workers lose when fighting for
better wages, working conditions and safety. Without their union
representation, workers are at the mercy of global competition and
corporate power. The corporations elevate their profits and the gap
between the rich and poor widens and intensifies.
It is only the ruling class and their corporations that have the financial
ability to purchase everything they say should be privatized. Is the ruling
class a criminal gang bent on destroying the structure of the government
so everything can be privatized and looted?
The ruling class wants to be free to own and pollute our earth, air and
water supplies without regulation, while they encourage the public to see
climate change as a collective hoax. Why? Because they want more profit
at everyone’s expense/life.
Why do the poor, veterans or the disenfranchised vote for politicians who
do not represent their best interest? Their party used to stand for individual
freedom, democracy and the Constitution. Not anymore! It's now just the
party of plenty for the ruling class, and there is no trickle down economics
going on.

CONSERVATIVE DEFINED
The modern conservative is a human supremacist engaged
in the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
J. K. GALBRAITH
Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy. Conservatism
is incompatible with democracy, prosperity, and civilization in general. It
is a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that is founded on
deception and has no place in the modern world.
Conservatives have been systematically turning language into a weapon
against liberals, twisting and exaggerating words to reflect the opposite of
their customary meanings. They associate themselves with words like
“building,” “dream,” “freedom,” “learn,” “light,” “preserve,” “success,”
and "truth" while associating opponents with words like “bizarre,”
“decay,” “ideological,” “lie,” “machine,” “pathetic,” and “traitors.” It is a
kind of cognitive surgery: systematically creating and destroying mental
associations with little regard for truth.

SADISM IN POLITICS
There are those Americans who deserve to live and those
Americans who don't. Period. All of the former are very, very
wealthy. All of the latter are poor, or struggling, or old. The true
mission of government is to bring as much pain to the parasites
as it can because, by doing so, it can liberate the genius of those
people who deserve to live.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE CONSERVATIVE PAUL RYAN - SPEAKER OF
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES - ESQUIRE MAGAZINE
NO ONE CARES
IF YOU DIE…
Politicians, whom we trust to create the laws we need to keep us
safe from political, economic and climate disaster, are kicking it
on huge salaries and privilege, rendering them blind
to the dangers lurking in the depths of the corruption
of our government for corporate profit.
T heir psychology concerns them with themselves while we, the ex-
pendable millions, swim like a hidden galaxy in the Petri dish of their
hypothetical concern. No one knows what is true or what to do in the mi-
asma of sickening politics, laws against good sense, lobbyists' blackmail,
and psychopathic corporate control.
An extinction-level event is manufacturing itself in the bowels of
everything our politicians have allowed and destroyed. The common sense
of Humanity could save us but the egocentric madness of politics, greed
and money would rather write "Never Mind" on a million tombstones.
Those in political office are our chosen representatives. We think they
know better than we do so we elected them, believing their lying, misrep-
resented selves and falling again for the promises they make but never
keep.
Once in Congress or the Presidency, politicians are free of our demands,
our needs and us. No longer in the public fray, disavowing their respons-
ibilities to the voters on climate and the economy, whilst congratulating
themselves on the confusion they have bound us in that assures our control
and their reelection.
Politicians’ deceit and ineptitude can no longer be tolerated. Our political
system does not work. Tens of millions of votes and endless polls tell the
politicians what the public wants, yet the public never gets what it wants
because politicians won’t give it to them. We want peace; they give us
endless war.
We want prosperity and a bright future and they give us austerity and trash
our future. We want change but we get the same old pre-selected multi-
millionaire politicians toeing the same old political party line that never
112 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
gets out of its own way or evolves beyond the confines of its own self-
righteous historical nonsense.
We are bound to overwhelming complication in all things, beyond the
comprehension of any politician, person or computer. Our laws are a ball
of corporate string wrapping itself around our throats; constricting the
flow of blood to our life’s possibilities.
Politicians excuse the profits of predatory corporations to supersede the
general welfare and the common good of the voters, allowing money and
power to rule our “democracy;” ultimately shackling the voter to misery,
impotence and irrelevance.
As government controls become more stringent, the fearful ruling class
realize they have alienated every man, woman and child on Earth with
their crushing greed and hideous psychopathic selfishness.
Do they not realize a focused human being with nothing to lose is far more
dangerous than their military might they threaten us with? Will they in
their fear of their loss of control again “exterminate” millions for their
own safety and profit?
They too are slaves to a system that does not work for them or the voters.
They are not standing up to or exposing the lies and hypocrisy they them-
selves have manufactured on behalf of the ruling class. They are perman-
ently dishonest, disempowering the people they represent.
Our “democracy” is little more than an image on a screen, an illusory
value created and perpetuated by politicians and the public alike. There is
no justice, no fairness and no point. We are finished – extinct – unless we
face reality head-on and purge the world of our willingness to compromise
each other and ourselves in service of the ruling class.
All those politicians running the country must replaced by common sense
individuals in publicly funded democratic elections otherwise the people
of America and the countries of the rest of the world will rise up against
The Monster of Capitalism that America has become.
The U.S. political system is paralyzed and hostage to corporate power.
It is unable to respond rationally to the crisis or solve even the most
trivial of problems.
RICHARD HEINBERG, POSTCARBON INSTITUTE
POLITRICKS 113
I, THE PERSON
BEFORE WE THE PEOPLE
All present conversation toward social justice,
improving or saving the world is meaningless.
We are deluded.
T o find any kind of justice, “We the People” must reflect the very
essence of human life that begins with the individual person, not a
profit-seeking corporation, not politics, not the Constitution nor the
present justice system. All conversation and understanding of life and
injustice must start with and be recognized by and for the individual
person first. Only then can the justifiable mass outrage at the injustices
against us be recognized and fought against. Deductions about life, law,
politics and justice starts and end in “We the People;” an out-of-date,
hypothetical extrapolation based on a false premise that assumes an
existing range of values but denies the individual human values implied by
“I the Person.”
I am not a “We.” You are not a “We.” “We the People” indicates more than
one person yet it treats the American People as if they were one person.
There is only one you living on Earth. The basis of “We the People” pays
no attention to what you are as a person and replaces your individual
vision of “I the Person,” with the group definition of “We the People,”
when it is a patently false narrative that is both misleading and demeaning
for the individual.
All laws and injustice come from the acceptance of “We the People” as the
lowest common denominator threshold for law, when it obviously is not. It
implies a paternalistic authority figure, gathering people “under his wing,”
proclaiming “We the People.” As a leader already, he circumvents the
rights of “I the Person” and usurps and the independence and unique
individuality of “I the Person” in favor of the group definition he has
created. In law, only one person is individually convicted of a crime. There
is no “we” the accused. “We” doesn’t get convicted. “I the person” does.
So why are individuals ruled by “We the People” before the individual is
fully understood from the point of view of “I the person?”
116 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
“I the Person” is a priori to the nature of all human beings, laws and
government. It must supersede the assumed values and authority
previously established in “We the People.” The rule of “We the People”
can only be fulfilled after the rights of “I the Person” are fully established,
understood and integrated.
“I the person” comes before “We the people.”
CONFOUNDING FATHERS
The Constitution should protect the people
from political and corporate brainwashing.
DON’T PISS ON ME
AND TELL ME IT’S RAINING
Eighty-one percent of the public believes both political parties
do what’s in it for them rather than fixing our nation’s
problems. They say, “Don't look at what I do,
listen to what I say.”
Politicians who betray the will of the electorate for corporate or personal
interests (that is, almost every single one) must be removed from office.
Term limits must be enacted for all political offices.
The politicians' whoring for dollars needs to be replaced by publicly
funded campaigns (so common in democracies around the world) and
strict limitations on campaign spending.
Politicians must accept “huge donations” from corporations in order to run
their campaigns. They are often so busy they accept legislation written by
corporate special interests alone, who protect their own corporate interests
within the law, rather than reflecting the will of the electorate.
Laws are made that give rights to corporations, allowing corporations
without disclosure or mandate to make every attempt to financially
influence or buy local and national elections for their own profit and
benefit, against the will of the people. Laws delivered to the public as
needed for national security are made in the light of political corporate
special interests.
Meanwhile, six million of our kids go to bed hungry every night. Millions
of our labor force is unemployed. Bankers destroy our economy and our
government condones it. Millions lose their homes and our government
allows it. Massive polluters are pouring cancer-causing pollution and our
government allows it.
Smoke screens created by politics and mass media divert public
attention away from the important issues like unemployment,
political, corporate criminals, hunger, military actions, poor
infrastructure, the disparity of wealth and the public interest,
in favor of hugely publicized marginal issues.
120 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
Our politicians betray their conscience and us. They have us where they

Politicians do not tax the rich, but they take the food from babies’ mouths,
reduce entitlements, penalize seniors and collapse our education system,

MEDIA AND
MIND CONTROL
The Mainstream Media is the propaganda machine
of the ruling class.
Mainstream News Media is entertainment, not news.
It keeps the public entertained but uninformed.
It controls all information and shapes how we see the
world and what is important and not important.
124 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
they want them to hear, to maintain their control over them and maintain
their huge profit. “Gee whiz,” Harry thinks, “Suppression of the press is
the pathway to government’s dictatorial control!”
If government can shut down the journalistic voice in truth, swapping it
out with empty promises, sloppy sentiment and “alternative truth,” then
they can get the public to swallow their lies like a health supplement,
while simultaneously touting the apparent freedom of the press.
If investigative journalism is treated like a human head on a stake, the
press can’t tell the truth. No one will be able to know, hear or read the
truth of what’s really happening behind the government’s closed doors.
And our political rulers will pretend to be just a loving guardian of the
pubic, justified in neutralizing the voice in a childish press screaming for
its democratic rights.
Democratic protest, which might restore the balance of power in our
controlled society, is sparked by investigative journalism. Protests will not
burn bright if government can control what can and cannot be reported to
the public.
Truth in news and investigative journalism is the pumping heart of
democracy, it cannot be the slave of government or any corporate master –
it must live free like a lion in our country’s psychopathic personality halt
jungles, untamed and ready to fight and die for the truth it believes in.
In contrast, corporate media, the performing monkey, pours its soothing
syrup over our broken hearts, making us doubt ourselves, promising us an
unattainable life of success we can soon achieve. “It’s just around the next
bend,” they tell us.
To corporate media, Harry says, “You patronize us with your empty
anthems of shared trust and social responsibility. Your sophistry kills as
surely as your bombs. You are a hypocrite, a liar, a cheap manipulator,
brainwashing us remotely with your empty promises of fame and glory.
Investigative journalism should be finding ways to shine light into the
lives that the powerful would rather keep hidden.”
Blow the whistle on the damage caused by psychopathic/government
offenders. Let our best reporters call them out and shame them. Let us
prosecute them and remove them from our society to a place where they
can learn again what is like to be prosocial and care for other people.
126 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
We know the truth in our hearts but we do not act on it because every truth
is covered in shit and the need for conformity. Everyday we see the banner
headlines about political corruption, the rape of the poor, corporate cruelty
and further destruction of the earth.
Every journalist is eager to tell us about the secret and the not so secret
mess we are living in called America but nothing changes. The climate,
the economy, the 1%, the hungry, the poor, the unemployed and the shit
piles up as a million journalists point in a million directions at the
loathsome behavior of the ruling class and nothing changes except things
get worse and disgusting and worse still.
A war here, death there, sickness of mind, manipulation, truth as lies, lies
as truth, It’s bollocks. Why do we need to be told about any more
problems, police brutality racism, no heath care, no fairness, no care and
no interest in care. We know the shit is hitting the fan and it’s hitting us
regular people and still the press is flooded with injustice and yes America
is like its owners, is a psychopath.
Each day we hear more stories of everything that we should be ashamed of
for ourselves. We are passers by while our injured and brutalized country
lies dying at the side of the road awaiting a Good Samaritan. Every
journalist with the insight and aspiring to know the "truth" should present
his/her plan to expose and remove out the scum terrorizing our daily lives,
our country is as sick as we are becoming.
With the escalation of unfairness growing amongst the ruling class and
government, we the public are constantly facing bad news that affects our
daily lives. Those we entrust to report the news are failing us by only
telling a polite, clean, diplomatic, politically correct “sanitized truth.”
They only give us the so-called facts, history, background, photos and
details of, about and around the subject but they never show us their heart-
felt or outraged point of view. It is up to the reader to react to whatever
outrageous thing they have been informed or misinformed about.
No matter what “bad stuff” is happening, be it the abuse of people, their
rights or the destruction of the planet, it is all expressed in the same
dispassionate way that does not promote actionable concern or outrage in
the public mind. As a consequence, every crime and abuse pushed on the
public is tarred with the same acceptable brush of political correctness so
there is a minimum public reaction to whatever is reported.
MEDIA AND MIND CONTROL 127
Sure the public gets enraged and protests about what they are informed
about but nothing like they would be if those reporting the news spoke
from their hearts about the unmitigated problems we face. Reporters do
not issue dire warnings to the public or tell them about organizations for
resistance to our public problems. The public is left to react to the news
and find their own way to fight back.
The public has been trained to accept this style of non-combative, no
reaction reporting. News has been reported to them in the same
dispassionate way for so long and their response to it has been so
weakened that they have accepted and partnered-up to that mode of
expression with a minimum reaction and no outrage. People don't react
because they do not know how to react, especially since what is presented
to them is always presented to them in a calm no “need to worry” format.
There is no longer a recognized standard for human behavior, no morals,
no public conscience and no judgment of the right action to juxtapose
against what is written in the news.
Public opinion, the reporter’s acumen, the public problems and those
causing them are all adrift and moving without any anchor to reality. Truth
is an agreed upon myth. Reporters and the public response to bad news has
been smothered and minimized by their conformity and obedience. The
public’s awareness to problems is kept dull and ineffective in order for the
ruling class to control us more easily.
Oligarchs own our media and run it for profit. That which does not
conform or contribute to their profit is erased or sanitized before the public
knows about it. Oligarchs control the news and their employment, so
reporters must be subservient and conform to the oligarchic law of
conservatism just to keep their jobs.
Investigative reporting has become a knife without a blade, unable to cut
through the bullshit to elucidate the news that would outrage the public.
Those reporting the news dare not tell us the whole truth. Even if in their
hearts they are screaming in outrage about the criminal activity of the
ruling class, politicians, banks or the government, they dare not express it.
Outrageous acts against people and planet are minimized by writers and
their editorial control. They cannot stir up public opinion, they have
nothing to compare the bad news to.
128 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
Once there were accepted standards of moral behavior but now with it
almost gone, all truth in the news is on a slippery slope to doom, as it is
for its readers, reporters and the public future. We need recognized
standards of moral behavior to measure our news against so that reporters
can create a comparison between it and the obscene, dangerous news we
hear every day. With that kind of moral guide, plus investigative reporting,
the public would become much more alarmed at the whole truth and its
implications and would likely rebel.
We need unbridled truth in all our news; otherwise, we are thrown
into the conundrum of weak and faux news for the profit of others
who do not care about us because they are insulated from the truth of
the bad news they create.
NO NEWS IS NO NEWS
Having no rational public discussion of problems
leads to conspiracy theories.

Political print media does not write for the man in the street. Every article
of substance and meaning is written by "educated" journalists, who write
for "educated" editors. Effectively articles are full of endless around the
subject info. To get to the meat and potatoes of the article the reader is
expected to wade through a lengthy diatribe of endless background
material, associated history, meaningless writer rhetoric and endless
researched cross-references around the subject, rather than giving the
reader the bottom line facts of the article.

compliant and mentally obese, unable to formulate their reaction to any
one thing. They cannot see the forest for the trees. The news is essentially
an emotional-distress-causing action.
Mainstream media are the tools of corrupt politicians and the
psychopathic ruling class. They present unbalanced and unfair
misrepresentations of the news truth in accordance with the will of their
owners, who do not want us informed or clear headed about what is being
done to us in our name.
The political presenters are their sincere whores who seduce us, tailoring
and delivering the “news” in mode of their employer's desire to always
leave us, “informed” and entertained in uncertainty, fear and despair,
diverting our attention away from critical issues with “Newstainment”
They lead us by the nose from one meaningless sound bite to another our

entertained and uninformed.
A media head whose compensation in one year totaled $56.8m, talks about

RABID FOX
Is it real? is less important than, Is it newsworthy?
We are threatened by the menace of Fox's unreality.
D id you know the entire Right-wing Party from the voter to the
leadership not only supports Fox News but also, according to recent
surveys, they do not listen to anything else or go anywhere else for their
news?
Fox News echoes the political right only and broadcasts misinformation,
lies and poisonous rhetoric against anyone they see to blame for the
country’s troubles. Problems are never the fault of the political right. No
matter what crazy things their candidates and pundits say.
Fox News echoes constant conservative news of the political right even
when, to everyone else’s concern, their messaging is deliberately and
diametrically opposed to accepted truths and facts.
If Fox News says viewers must oppose a policy, person or idea, Fox
viewers agree and often vote against their own best interests because
Fox has taught them to think that way.
Fox continually blames the left-wing opposition leaders for the good they
do, like it was a crime. They give no consideration to the actual truth or its
benefits, nor do they give any thought of what is best for the American
People.
They are concerned with deception based on their ideological pretense of
providing the news. The truth is of no concern to them, they reverse it;
their job is to emphasize their corporate position and point the viewer
away from the truth, making every word the left utters into a scapegoat
until their viewers no longer believe in the truth unless it's a lie.
The corruption of the American psyche from the reversal of truth is near
complete. Soon every American will think of Moslems as terrorists
because Fox makes them scapegoats just like they made black and brown
communities onto the “underclass.” Day by day, they blame the
“underclass” for every social problem, pushing their indoctrinated
audience into submission, promoting “the truth” only a psychopath could
believe in.
132 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
In one year, Fox News made $1.2 billion in profits from their
weaponised propaganda masquerading as the evening news.
Fox embroils the viewer in their neocon point of view, small government
and lots of “freedom,” always omitting both the facts and the truth. They
promise their audience “liberty” but what it gets is an authoritarian state of
mind that attacks every evil it’s told to. Viewers become zombies with an
authoritarian state of mind but none of their money.
Fox News damages us with its continually deceit, lies and
misinformation coming into our living rooms, injuring every viewer’s
mind, heart and soul.
The glamorous blonde announcer guided by a strategic agenda draws men
in, hypnotized by her sexy look. Whatever offends her neocon sensibilities
sees her react with visible personal indignation, signaling to her male
viewers she is offended, inciting them to defend her and her propaganda.
She shovels blame, guilt and accusatory lies right into the heart of the
audience causing deep psychological damage, resulting in millions of
minds being warped toward anger at the opposition. She deflects the truth
away from the viewer and creates and reinforces their conformism to the
status quo.
Fox controls 27 million viewers to consolidate political power and wealth
for corporations and the ruling class, brainwashing them into identifying
their oppressors as “the liberal left” who are “ruining this country” with
their “deceit and lawlessness” causing our terrible problems.
Fox News is a threat to everything that America stands for. Fox tells
us that as long as we keep a sense of humor, and we're good-natured,
we don't need to get worked up about our starvation wages.
Fox News is a weapon against the common good. It seeks only control and
offers no redress, it is authoritarian and psychopathic - it only injures and
hurts people’s minds and hearts, it is a weapon against healing and
goodwill. A true democracy demands an informed public but Fox News
seeks to mislead the public. A recent survey found people watching Fox

Misinformation in public life isn’t the exception. It’s the rule.

invited to be part of a task force. Instead, their insights and opinions are
supposedly “taken into account” by the experts.
These upper-class experts have no direct experience with common
people’s lives, joys, experience, objectives, desires, hardship or suffering,
and their “informed” opinion and advice often subvert, censor or deny the
good sense of the common man, much to their bewilderment.
Their position psychologically isolates them from the direct experience of
the community they are “experts” on. They falsely believe in the
equivalence of their personal experience and the public’s, rather than the
reality of what actually is. Likewise, the media coverage based on their
arguments is biased and denies the public’s true reality.
They rely on what they think they “know” based on polls, reports, studies,
research, policy, reviews and theories, based on discussion with like-
minded privileged “experts” like themselves.
Research shows that successful accomplished people – because of their
success, public acceptance and societal validation – are insulated from any
need to gain personal in-depth self-knowledge. Instead, their position
gives them a confident sense of being recognized and cared about.
As a result, they are insulated from the need to question their self-worth or
to examine their motives, their “expertise” or themselves. They accept
themselves as having meaning, relevance and superiority without
evidence.
Using the intellectual deductive reasoning of their own discipline, they
logically and systematically analyze their data about the public to arrive at
conclusions about public needs and behaviors. Their mythic understanding
of the public’s reality, which is created out of their own lack of self-
knowledge and their ego beliefs, displaces the actual experiences and
truths of the average American.
They think they understand desperately hunting for a job week after week
or, instead, working under the grating control of an asshole boss, but they
don’t. They pretend they know what is real labor, standing on your feet for
way too many hours, but they don’t.
They think they’ve seen what it’s like to watch their children go without,
but they haven’t. They fantasize they know what it’s like to be harassed
and arrested by the police, but they don’t. They imagine they know what
136 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
it’s like to sweat about the future and how to get ahead, but they don’t.
They lie and say they understand what it’s like to guard an army post and
worry about a sniper’s bullet, but they don’t. And they certainly can’t
imagine what it’s like not to be a recognized and praised public speaker
whose every pretentious word is accepted as the truth.
The public is therefore never fully or properly represented. Consequently,
they feel “no one cares about me.” The over-powering false representation
of their everyday lives by “experts” blabbing in the media, in government
and in schools gives the public a sense of emptiness and inability to effect
change.
The public feels helpless, discouraged and discounted as their lives and
views are reduced to polls and sound bites of ill-informed, unenlightened
pompous “experts” who primp for the media’s camera. This lack of
understanding or connection to their reality creates a visceral gut response.
So-called “experts” have little interest stepping on being controversial
because the status quo rewards them for what they are and where they are.
It legitimizes them and boosts the expert’s relevance, finances and ego
benefit so they do not rock the boat Their views are lip service to the
status quo in the service of themselves; as such the are meaningless and
irrelevant.
Expertise is not legitimacy. “Experts" use educated, professional,
privileged, opinionated, accoladed language, their personal code and
narrowed specialist focus to reveal to us “what we need to know.” The
specialist terms, jargon, euphemisms, insider-talk and abbreviations they
use to express themselves maintain their infallibility and mystique.
They are influenced by politics, success, salary, title, property, investments
and the respect of their peers in their public recognition, praise, and
validation of their value. All these things influence “experts” away from
the reality of regular people, building a wall of expertise the public can not
get through or contribute to.
American culture believes in the superiority of experts
and ignores public opinion as irrelevant when often the insight
of the general pubic is best.

the right political and corporate line we will rise up like a phoenix from
the ashes of our programmed demise. We want to believe in the media’s
delightful fantasies, but we have our own dreams.
The media assault us with false values and hidden agendas. We can’t hear
ourselves think. We are still trying to extricate ourselves from the
repetitious indoctrination we were fed yesterday. Our fully integrated
media reality seamlessly dovetails hard and soft news, editorials and
entertainment of types with commercials, creating an easily digestible
meal of hyperbole. Every photo or video they show you can never be sure
if it is real or a false or doctored image.
Their unprincipled assault on the collective heart of the American public is
dulling our critical thought, crippling our government, ruining our

democracy and dividing us one from the other. Their terrorist actions must
be seen as crimes against the electorate, punishable by extended
imprisonment.
The six big media companies in the US, owned by the ruling class use
their media companies to continually brainwash and terrorize the
American people. Their repetitive reports of danger from terrorists, are a
direct attempt to fill us with fear, until we surrender our rights and submit
to their control.
Their newscasters are paid big money to peddle their fear into our hearts,
they are the bought and paid for puppets of the ruling class. They have
sold out their personal truth for big money and happily go against their
own beliefs to bring you fear. They are characters, like Mickey Mouse,
they are not your friend, they are a manufactured image made to appeal to
you.
You cannot trust what they are telling you; they are fucking you,
weakening you with endless news of extreme madness. Soon you, so
frightened, will sell your soul for protection from your big brother, in the
character of the Corporate God, and the theocracy of priestly ruling class
is complete.
TV anchors and correspondents, like most media announcers, pundits and
politicians, are multi-millionaires and have no idea what it means to be a
person living on the edge.
They express themselves from the concerned, sunny disposition of being
rich (health care, fancy vacations and money for life) because they can
avoid most every problem regular people face and like rich people they do
not care about others anyway; they just pretend to.
We control the opposition by leading it.

The ruling class are funding brainwashing schools, indoctrinating their

want them to say and what they want them to fight for. They are teaching
them how to be cold-hearted, evil and win for the ruling class. How make
money at everyone’s expense and how to ignore the common good.
There is no level of degeneracy the ruling class won't resort to in the
manipulation of our consciousness to maintain their power over the
public and their income stream at public expense.

ECHO CHAMBERS
An echo chamber is a metaphorical description of a situation in
which information, ideas, or beliefs are amplified or reinforced
by transmission and repetition inside an “enclosed” system,
where different or competing views are censored, disallowed,
or otherwise underrepresented.
WIKI
H appily for the ruling class, there are an endless number of echo
chambers supporting every conceivable conspiracy theory, dividing
and separating unsuspecting people one from the other; political pawns in
the ruling class’ cocktail of mind control.
Each echo chamber creates vehement adherents, turning everyone outside
the group into adversaries. Meanwhile, they are distracted from the
antisocial behavior of devious conservative politicians whose methods
abuse their trust and create havoc in their lives.
Echo chamber members believe in and are committed to their group’s
point of view because it creates in them a sense of belonging and meaning
in unity, community and trust. They remain aloof and detached from the
“non-believers.” The echo chamber has done its job. It isolates us one
from the other.
Each Fundamentalist Evangelical Christian Church is an echo chamber
asserting “their new version” of The Bible, as indoctrinated into them by
their pastors who bring them the message of God’s will. They know the
truth. Non-Christians are sinners, only they will be saved. Evangelical
Christians are the biggest voting bloc for conservative politicians.
They are a closed group who hold the same belief and constantly reinforce
and amplify their belief with others in their group, focusing on the
“correct” self-expression of the “special truth” they alone know and share.
The pastor shepherds the congregation and leads them to the righteousness
of the Church message and conservative politics, pulling them closer into
a matrix of psychological control they deny they are in.
Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated
are confident that they are acting of their own free will.

G od was once a fleeting mention in the political arena but has become
an indispensable shout-out, part of the ingenious marketing

Christian values and religiosity, purely to gain and maintain their own
political power over the Christian right and, indeed, the whole world.
To bring conservatives down we must do what it does NOT expect. Rather
than just attacking them and their fascist agenda, surely we must attack the
moral standing of their Christian Right voting base by challenging them to
re-examine the teachings of Christ in relation to the party they support.
Offer them the realization that their capitalist version of Christianity
separates them from regular folk and that is unkind, authoritarian and,
above all, hypocritical. Suggest they be unconditional in their loving,
compassionate toward ALL people of EVERY faith and "love the sinner"
as Jesus taught.
Remind them too that their Christian beliefs have been hijacked by the
coldblooded conservatives, for their own selfish power agenda. Tell them
their vote supports corporate domination of our democracy, penalizes the
poor, supports imperialism through armed conflict, and leaves us at the
mercy of the predatory Right-wing who have no recent record of doing
anything but harm to the man in the street.
The Pope has spoken out against the extremist policies of the Christian
Right and there are many regular Christian church leaders in the US who
do not subscribe to the narrow vision of the Christian Right who should be
“proclaiming Christ’s love and his true teachings” above the cacophony of
the mind control of Biblical fundamentalism.
Maybe their raised voices, along with those of thousands of Catholic
priests in the US could speak out for the true teachings of Christ and
persuade Christian Right voters to be less conservative and more
Christian, reminding them to be compassionate and to have love and
empathy for ALL people. Now, they are being led by the nose, under the
banner of an anti-gay, abortion-hating Christ of the fundamentalist echo
chambers of Fox News and unholy Christian Capitalism. Jesus would be
righteously angered.
The Christian Right continues to be manipulated and radicalized by
unscrupulous Right-wing and profit-seeking pastors who act against the
best interest of the Christian religion, their country and themselves. Their

I wonder where any man or woman finds the mindset to join the
military. Didn't they see the pictures of soldiers returning from war
with limbs missing and PTSD? Didn't they read about the 22 veterans
committing suicide every day? Didn't they see how badly veterans are
treated on returning from combat?
Don't they know they are fighting and dying in foreign lands so global
corporations can get their hands on the natural resources and markets
belonging to those countries’ regular people, who are fighting America to
keep what's theirs?
How does anyone make the decision to join up in the face of so much
damning evidence telling them that could be trashed and killed for some
fat-cat’s profit?
What promises, inducements and seduction techniques are used on new
recruits to get them to be so stupid as to pledge allegiance to sacrifice
themselves for rich men's profit and the manufactured lies of politicians?
Do they really think they are protecting us? Do they think they stand for
truth and justice? Do they think they are fighting to keep us safe? Are they
heroes? Do they believe in their own immortality or are they just the
victims of an elaborate military con job?
How do recruiters manage to get thousands of young people to surrender

their lives, fight and maybe die for no good reason at all? How do fresh-
faced teens who are almost too young for acne watch terribly wounded
vets on TV and still enthusiastically join up?
American militarism and its recruitment advertising is celebrated
everywhere in schools, football stadiums, on TV and in every aspect of
our lives, paid for by The Pentagon and its Military Industrial Complex.
Military men are portrayed as heroes fighting the bad guys to save
America. We are told military life is cool and hip and necessary. War is
sold to us as a good honorable life, protecting one’s country, standing
side–by–side with other brave citizens like you, defending oppressed
people’s human rights in far-off lands.
Here in America our human rights are being destroyed and our democracy
is failing. Does bombing innocents abroad give Americans confidence that
it won’t happen to them here? Do you think those madmen who create the
wars, who have no compassion, conscience or remorse, wouldn’t do the
same thing to us in America?
Veterans ask themselves every day, “Who are we fighting? Why are we
killing innocent men, women and children. Why are we destroying their
homes and their culture? Why are we fighting these people, for what?
They are just regular people like us. They love their families. They want
the best for themselves but we kill them anyway like it was sport.” War is
not a sport. There are no Olympic championships for war. If there were,
America would be the World Champions of Death.
Are our wars about American corporate imperialism trying to conquer the
world? Isn’t our military industrial complex really about global weapon
sales and private industry profits? Are endless wars about corporate
America’s control of global markets and global resources? Aren’t the
countries we bomb entitled to own and control their own country and its
resources?
Let’s support our returning veterans but let’s not encourage military
recruiters who spend $77 million a year to coerce and entice more, often
poor, young people to become cannon fodder for corporate wars and more
militarism.
At its bare bones, endless war is the white man’s domination of the
world by force, masquerading as the defense of human rights and

The extinction of the human mind.
If our world was under massive alien attack and if that alien demanded our
compliance to its will or we would die, we would surely obey, especially if
the alien’s weapons of mass destruction were far more devastating and
insidious than ours.
The very possibility of the alien presence would intimidate us and terrify
us, knowing it could slaughter thousands, topple cities and devastate life’s
certainty without a second thought. The alien’s vengeance would be on
hair trigger, and no one would be able to reason or negotiate with it. It
would gladly destroy us, whenever it desired. The alien threat is real yet
invisible. We must behave or we die.
The real alien is Earth’s natural planetary environment. When the
environment is hurt deeply, it gets intensely angry and wages war against
us. It could take us out at any time. Yes, we know how to appease its anger
and perhaps reverse it, but we, in our blind arrogance and drunk on
consumerism, are in denial.
Create in your mind the image of a human being who behaves like our
injured environment – an invisible careless and vengeful brute capable of
murdering millions, a schizophrenic, offering us beauty and destruction
simultaneously.
A few well-placed reactive blows rained down on us by this unpredictable,
angry brute and our food supply, our electronics and our water supply
would be eliminated. Complete chaos would ensue, followed by mass
panic and societal breakdown.
Widespread devastation would overwhelm our police and emergency
services. Mobs of looters would descend on us like locusts and rule us like
animals. The more we destroy the environment, the more certain the
environment will strike back and ruthlessly destroy us.
We must stop killing our planet. It is bigger and stronger than we are. Why
would you attempt to kill someone who has so much more proven power?
You would fail and die.
If we continue with our modes of “civilized” industrialized behavior, we

are signing our own death warrant. It is insane to continue with the same
economic expansion and planetary exploitation by a few rich corporations
for their singular benefit and our entire guaranteed demise.
We don’t know when the last straw will break the camel’s back. Our
environment could collapse on us tomorrow or already be collapsing today
and we just don’t know it yet. Perhaps an international plague will be
released from beneath the melting permafrost. Perhaps a hurricane of
never-before-seen dimensions will sweep clean the Midwest.
Perhaps an indestructible disease will breed in the carbon dioxide of our
failing atmosphere. Maybe poisoned oceans moving in skyscraper-sized
waves will burst over our cities, as if they were pulling the temple of Earth
down upon our heads. Even then, our optimism would be saying: “Can’t
happen to me. I’m a survivor,” but it will.
We must tell our well-fed “leaders” to step out of the insular security
of their ivory towers, face facts and orchestrate a change now in the
hope we can slow the environment’s festering rage. We can buy time if
we stop poisoning our atmosphere with fossil fuels and end the
continuous trashing of the planet.
I n the future, there won’t be any money to help anyone whose way of
life is utterly destroyed by an extreme weather event brought on by

thousands of desperate people will no longer have a home to go to because
the ruling class will have legislated against helping them in any way. A
short while ago these people had a comfortable home life but climate
change changed their life, destroyed their home and took all their
possessions.
The conservative government offers no disaster assistance. They say
“You’ve got to stand on your own two feet.” It has spent your climate
disaster emergency funding on refitting some part of the military or the
police. So many people made insolvent, bankrupt, ruined and hungry; so
many disasters - drought, fire, tornado, snow and flood happening so
frequently, nothing to be done. The climate is out of control.
Think of being homeless, scared, unequipped, surrounded by gangs,
robbery, rape, anarchy and hostility, breeding in the decay of what once
was your once peaceful suburban hometown. So many people lost, fearful,
frightened without any future.
Think of water shortages, food scarcity, sea level rise, atmospheric
pollution, typhoons, epidemics, threats and fear everywhere, getting more
intense every day. In your misery you watch TV, seeing corporations get
huge subsidies and oil pipeline breaks, as regular as clockwork.
There’s only rampant wage inequality, fading, broken infrastructure and
broken people. Tax breaks for the rich, poverty for the poor, no welfare,
endless war, child poverty, homelessness and broken vets by the millions.
Suicide and drugs everywhere.

Pandemics cannot be contained by US health services. Many people have

Too many people; overpopulation? “Why not have an epidemic or two,
clear a few of them outta here. It’s ok, they ain’t doing anything else

to protect them so they can protect you. If you die before help comes,
we are sorry but we are doing our very best.

there are four pads and the day after that there are sixteen. The next day
there are two hundred and fifty-six lily pads.
The day comes when the pond is half covered with lily leaves. It still looks
lovely and healthy. The following day as if by magic, the pond has
disappeared completely, covered, suffocated and lost under thousands of
lily leaves. The demise of the lily pond was not expected or planned for, it
“just happened.” It was difficult to see the warning signs. The situation hit
critical mass and devoured the pond.
Without warning, life could be lost as instantly and as completely as it was
in the lily pond, disappearing under the continuously escalating matrix of
effects compounding the problems of global society and their inter-
relationships.
Human miscalculation, carelessness, denial, and fear of the problems
or how to react to them turns us all into fools.
There is no time to waste and everything to lose.
Fight back while you still can.

He who accepts evil without protesting against it

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
Fear tells us we must get rich as fast as we can, any way we can. We must
follow the corporate example and crush our colleagues, neighbors and
friends as soon as we can because each new global problem fuses with
those already existing and it’s consuming our future like a forest fire.
We need every penny we can get to defend ourselves from the escalating
onslaught of economic, environmental, racial, social and political
oppression brought on in the name of the ruling class’ desire to suck the
eco-system and us dry.
Our lack of self-esteem, our self-betrayal and our inability to gain enough
security, coupled with a sense that there may indeed be no future, have
corrupted our mental health, disturbed our peace of mind, and destroyed
our ability to tackle life’s problems effectively.
To survive the economic onslaught, we shut down our emotions. We
smother our fear with sports, slick entertainment and cheap thrills. We
have manipulated our thinking to convince ourselves there is nothing we
can do about the situation but accept the will of the corporate agenda just
to stay employed and out of the poverty-stricken underclass, where we
would be blamed for social decay, social ills and depleting government
resources.
Once we could look to family, religion or peer groups for ethical and
moral guidance. Today, our overindulged, over-stimulated, egocentric
electric population with its idolatry of greed and its lack of value for truth
has spawned a pandemic of mental illness. Our carelessness, fear and
denial of our problems, or our reactions to them, turns each one of us into
an ostrich with our head in the sand or a Nero fiddling while our Rome
burns.
Our global problems, coupled with the willingness to allow the erosion of
the rights of the individual toward the pursuit of survival or wealth, will
give rise to a corporate-controlled police state for the “public good,”
resulting in the further demise of liberty and the death of the civilized
world. These threats are not going away.
Humanity’s present course is a cataclysmic path to no future where ruling
class roam and rule the Earth in ostentatious luxury, seeking absolute
power like hungry dogs stalking the weak and the weary.

CHARLES MANSON
Only the harsh hand of the law and its threat of severe punishment stopped
the blistering emotions of ten-million homeowners from rebellion. Why
did those who suffered the devastation of losing their home not get
compensated out of the fines the banks paid? Who got that money?
When you throw a pebble into a big pond, as the pebble hits the water
it sends out ripples in every direction. If the pond is the
public/individual mind and the pebble is a threat or a lie against the
welfare of the public/individual mind, ripples caused by that threat or
lie pass into the public/individual mind, causing great fear and
emotional ill health in all of society.
The mind of a person is symbolized as a pond and every day thousands of
pebbles made of endless threats, lies, misrepresentations and
manipulations are thrown into their pond, and the ripples of that
bombardment tear through that person, distressing his life! Weakened, he
is a victim of emotional crime.
We permit emotional crimes against every member of the nation, every
day by psychopathic authoritarian politicians, banks, corporations and the
ruling class. Even though their wrongdoings are astronomic, they do not
suffer for their emotional crimes against the people. They damage our
climate rights, our economics, our emotional rights and our human rights.
They collude and conspire with politicians, who betray us when we trust
them to protect us.
Emotional crimes are tantamount to emotional torture, inflicting on
regular, defenseless people an awful pain that lingers, like having
industrial pollution inside you. You can’t sleep, you can’t think.
Emotional crime affects the psychological health of men, women and
children, pushing them to drugs, abuse, darkness and death.
Unemployment makes us ill.
Corporations remain unaccountable for their all-too-frequent emotional
crimes, hidden beneath the veil of their corporate respectability. Protected
by politicians and lauded by the media, they are “too big and important” to
jail. Yeah, right? Offenders should pay reparations for their emotional
crimes, and we should jail them until they truly learn compassion.
Once a few of the political, banking and corporate offenders are jailed for
the emotional damage they cause, there will be an immediate moral
turnaround in all business and political leaders.

have done to the mental health and peace of mind of 220 million voters
with their anti-human tactics of creating fear and anxiety through this cold

Let them pay for their crimes against us. We can rise above both our

why we can be and ought to be held morally responsible for what we

EUGENICS
White Supremacy
I n 1883, Sir Francis Galton, Charles Darwin’s cousin, invented the term
Eugenics as the science of improving the human population by
controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable characteristics,
while depleting undesirable characteristics. Eugenics fell into disfavor
after the perversion of its ideas by Adolf Hitler in his “baby breeding”
experiments and extermination of the Jews.
Eugenics in the U.S.A. originated as a political idea in the early 1900s
with the ruling class’ desire to maintain their “white superiority,
supremacy and privilege.” As the ultimate in right-wing white racism,
Eugenics wants to kill off or breed out the inferiors who are just “not the
fittest or the best.” White psychopath oligarchs like Rockefeller supported
and funded the Eugenicists’ practice of survival of the fittest, believing
PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE 187
they had the right to control, use and sacrifice anyone for their own
personal gain because they, as “superior beings,” were “entitled” to do so.
White Supremacists’ policies are based on Eugenicists’ ideas - sorting out
whom they see as the best from those whom they see as the worst and
getting rid of people they see as the worst, including immigrants, Muslims,
welfare recipients, liberals, intellectuals, blacks and gays.
White Supremacists are effectively depopulating America of the poor and
the Underclass. They deny them proper education and healthcare,
decreasing their job security and taxing them inappropriately. They
destroy their employment opportunities, their “safety nets,” and their hope
for the future, trapping them in an inescapable spiral encouraging them in
their “unfitness” toward criminalizing their poverty and leaving them to
die.
Those people who are genetically undesirable, mostly having socialist
ideas, are either driven into the slave labor of the prison industrial
complex in ever-greater numbers or they become victims of mass
deportations of “illegal” immigrants, as a way for white supremacists “to
effectively cleanse our nation of the “parasitic scum” that is destroying our
country.”
The White Supremacist government see themselves and their
Administration as superior beings entitled to do what they want, denying
empathy, compassion or concern for those “genetically unsuitable” people
they hurt by their “white is right” policies.
White Power speech against “people who are different” causes the white
public to self-recognize and articulate right-wing supremacist ideology as
always “having been in their own hearts” thus fostering acceptance of
fascism’s right to breed a better population based on white privilege and
supremacy. It blames blacks, immigrants and undesirables for every
imaginable social problem and solicits the public to join them in their
blame and their calls for punishment and victim deportation.
White Supremacists have rampant contempt for all “losers” because by
their neoliberal definition we are all “losers” unless we are “winners” like
they are. They claim the right to terminate “losers” in any way they see fit,
within the confines of the law that they make and they control. It is their
profound desire to clean up and improve the American white race by

R acism is one of the tools the powerful use to control the population;
it is “divide and conquer.” It has been used in this country since
slavery. It is how the few control the many. Desperation now runs through
the entire population with the exception of the investor and professional
class. All Americans are starting to get a taste of what African-Americans
and other minorities of the marginalized have endured for centuries.
African-Americans have been oppressed from our beginning.
Opportunities in this country always served white privilege first.
Racism is still a tool of "divide and conquer." The irony is now we have a
desperate white middle class and poor, many of them have fallen for the
garbage of Fox News and 24/7 conservative radio telling them their

We cannot continue to accept the 1% moving us ever closer to fascist
totalitarianism. There is no “it will be all right in the end” scenario. We
will be crushed, no matter if we follow the laws of the 1% or fall into the
abyss of the underclass.
Our lives are influenced, manipulated and controlled by false expectations
and manufactured public opinion that has been created by the 1%, big
business, big money and big power. Every day we see their efforts to
achieve mega-profits for the mega-corporations of Wall Street through
their purchased but legal influence over our government, our democracy
and our rights
The actions and intrigue of the 1% increase the massive inequality of
income, record unemployment and poverty, while lessening opportunity
and ignoring human rights in an ever-stronger environment of
totalitarianism.
They want us to do what they say, conform to their obligatory standards of
dress and corporate behavior, wear name tags, earn low wages, have little
or no healthcare and keep irregular schedules –without representation or
recourse.
Use your imagination – we are headed into darkness. We are moving
toward a precipice in a fog of denial. Soon, people like you and I will have
to pledge our unquestioning devotion and loyalty to our corporate leaders
in order to survive.
Their demands depersonalize us, diminish our creativity, take the “free”
out of our free will and strip away who we are along with our last threads
of individuality. If we resist their authoritarian rule, we will be
unemployed, demoted to the underclass and blamed for all the ills of
society.
The media-industrial complex magnifies political instability and unbridled
fear in its efforts to control the general public and secure the political and
economic future of those who want us to toe their line.
We must resist the continuous efforts of the media-industrial complex to
heighten our fears, uncertainty and apathy, because when so terrorized and
traumatized we surrender to their rule.
192 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
Here is the question for all of us: with so many crazy things against us,
how can we find our way to a better world? The future looks starkly bleak.
No one, not even our leaders, appears to be outraged about our extra-
regular global problems, even though they threaten the future of every
person on Earth. We are not filled with boiling rage because we have
accepted anger and protest as uncivilized and pointless.
Political correctness demands we frown on outrage and dismiss people
who get angry or emotional, even if their way of life or their loved ones
are threatened. We have stifled our righteous indignation. We have
surrendered our right to be outraged at those in government when it is
frequently the appalling failure of government that has given us cause to
be angry.
Governments prefer us orderly and quiet because then we are easier to
govern. The laws they create largely serve these purposes. They
discourage our anger when we should be outraged and boldly standing up
for what we know is right.
Show your outrage at what is being done to you and taken from you. If
you cave and accept the status quo, you are selling yourself out and
betraying your family. In your heart, you know damn better.
Proudly display your outrage. It is a supremely democratic
instrument of warning, a protest at intolerable conditions, a clarion
call for liberty and justice against the 1%.
Our feelings are the life-blood of survival and the source of our drive and
ambition. We must express our feelings of indignation if we are to avoid
being blown apart by the rage churning inside us that will erupt if our
feelings are not given voice.
We must follow our gut feelings and respond to what we truly believe,
rather than agreeing that it is wrong to be outraged against injustice. We
must embrace our anger, shake off our apathy and rise up and fight for our
belief in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Let us call out those who seek to intensify the earnings gap between rich
and poor. The 1%, with their complete absence of sympathy and
compassion, are the enemies of regular people and the single biggest threat
to the world’s survival. The 1% must be defeated by any and all means
possible. Unfortunately, peaceful revolution may not be possible.

In the 1960s, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led the civil rights movement
with brilliant speeches and brave marches, fighting for freedom, equality
and human rights.
Fifty years have passed, yet a huge percentage of black people remain
unemployed and our so-called “equality and social justice system”
penalizes them, committing them by the million to prison for minor drug
offenses, branding them as felons, marginalizing them and
disenfranchising them.
Prisoners – unable to make it on the outside, often due to reduced
opportunity – re-offend and end up in jail for life. The prisons built to
house this huge number of minor offenders are often the main industry
supporting families and many local communities. A flow of offenders,
therefore, must be maintained to support them.
Like prisoners, we are subjugated and trapped behind a wall of fear and
political correctness, hoping for better times. Better times are not coming.
The rich are not about to give up anything, not one damn thin dime. With
all their hearts, they are devoted to their money and love their power.
They are the rulers of the universe and the masters of your destiny. They
make sure you do not get one cent more than they say you deserve,
because that penny means more for them and they know they deserve it.
No matter what, the 1% never stops raising the bar on their own desires
and expectations, hoarding everything for themselves without a second
thought. They must control us to get what they want.

And what will you do? Whom will you blame? Politicians and power
brokers do not have the answers to our problems. Revolutionaries have no
answers. Money can’t stop the problems. The shit has started to hit the fan.
Humans must immediately implement a series of radical measures to halt
carbon emissions or prepare for the collapse of entire ecosystems and the
displacement, suffering and death of millions upon millions of the globe’s
inhabitants, according to a World Bank report.
Must we follow the 1%’s example and crush our colleagues, neighbors and
friends as soon as we can because each new global problem fuses with
those already existing, consuming our future like a forest fire? No! God,
no!
Instead, we must defend ourselves from the onslaught of economic,
environmental and political anarchy brought on by the psychopathic
behavior of the 1% and their desire to “save us from ourselves.”
Drought, food shortages, dangerous air quality, hurricanes and floods – all
the problems we know have definitely arrived, plus all the hidden
problems too. They are all occurring at once in a “perfect storm.” The end
of humanity could come without warning. When we get scared like little
kids, we long for a father figure to protect us.
It is our father figure, however, who is creating everything we fear. He
tells us not to worry because we fear an enemy that only he can defend us
from. We beg, “Take our money, our rights, everything. Please, father, just
protect us from the unseen enemy.” Our “father” soothes us with promises
of a glowing future.
Yet his propaganda inflames our fear, leading us to call for vigorous
enforcement of the laws our father has written on our behalf for his
benefit. Our father, in the name of protecting us, encourages our
dependence on him, galvanizing his control over us.
Our tax dollars line his pockets and those of his war-powers

mega-corporations and antisocial politicians take every advantage of us.
Is your head cooking slowly from the inside? Are you frightened for your

hoping things will get better, when you know damn well they won’t?
Are you overindulging in drugs and booze? Are you addicted to food and
sex to numb your feelings? Have you surrendered to the illusion that
everything will be all right in the end? Are you deluded? Our fear of
environmental and economic doom, natural disasters and terrorist threats
have entered into our brain chemistry and changed us; we are more robotic
in our mental response, more willing to toe the line, more willing to have
less, be less and care less. We bow our heads and accept the control of our
lives by reprehensible others.
The mainstream media complex is magnifying our fear, doubling its
efforts to render the public harmless, on behalf of its overlords while
securing the political and economic future of those who want us all toeing
their line. If we allow their antisocial behavior to continue, we will not be
human anymore, only obedient slaves of the ruling class.
The government acts with impunity, committing crimes against
everything. We have lost our outrage and our moral compass. Is it because
we only recognize and punish crimes against the tangible reality of a
person or an object but never concern ourselves with the political and
corporate collateral damage cultivated by their antisocial behavior against
the intangible realities of our hearts, minds and feelings? Humanity is
mentally unbalanced. We stuff our human feelings and cripple who we are.
Today, we all bear witness to ineffectual, corrupt politicians, rip-off
bankers and psychopathic corporations who destroy humanity for their
own personal profit, out of their sense of personal entitlement and
privilege.

derogatory treatment of my fellow human beings or myself.” Our

crush of its own intellect’s unfettered desire to control every thing.
Ego drives intelligence; without feelings, it is insecure and vulnerable and
acts as if it is superior to offset its weakness by creating false values,

things, identifies it and puts a dollar value on it, creating division,

people have common sense answers for the important political problems
but they are excluded from all real political conversations about the law,
and their own welfare.
Before any reforms can be made that will benefit the entirety of
humankind, or to deal with “climate change” if you will, the people
will have to go to War with the bankers and retake the most

There is widespread tax evasion and fraud by the ruling class. The tax
code directly aids the rich to avoid income tax. Corporations are avoiding

Past banker and Wall Street frauds of the ruling class have not led to their
prosecution nor have any of these big-time fraudsters been jailed. Instead
they have been forgiven in order that their money would continue to flow
into political campaigns. Someone is getting paid off. Injustice is being
bought and justice is not being carried out.
Lots of wealthy people are benefitting from the system of which we are
part, taking home literally millions and millions of dollars every year, year

You saw no accountability, no punishment, no fair trial, no justice and no
peace. Protesters, stay in the streets, fight this injustice.
Our representatives whoever they are, always blame everyone but
themselves for the mistakes they themselves made. They are as innocent
as the police they protect from prosecution. Everyone else is always to
blame when it is they who killed the future of our children and profited
from their demise.
Their political authoritarian mindset has killed off millions of innocents
and is taking the world to the brink of extinction. They don’t care if you
live or die. Fill their ranks with regular citizens not interested in corporate
authoritarian control who want a country and justice system they can be
proud of again.
Hurry, protesters; the worst is yet to come. If you don’t act or react now

for individual, economic and climate justice you will have to get used to
injustice and accept it. The rich will let us die. We are trapped here in the
web of their deceit while they continue to exploit us. The rich have the
cash and the means to escape.
They have what it takes to buy survival for their families and themselves
away from the world they destroyed. You can’t get away, you can’t escape,
your survival is doubtful.
This is the real injustice you must protest. You have no choice; stay in
the streets. We need the heroes for our democratic future to wear the
outer garment of the law and the inner garment of the hero.
beat the ruling class, no tactic is too low or dirty to use on them and their
surrogates. Screw them, they are your enemy. You must always remember
the ruling class’ continuous efforts to demean us, limit our wages, control
our workers and diminish our democratic voting power. Remember they
have all the money and power any person could ever want and yet they
always want more and it is always at your expense.
Rise up every day and figure out how to screw the ruling class. Make it
personal. Go after politicians and political groups who don’t challenge the
ruling class. Build a public dossier on every single member of the ruling
class and their politicians.
Expose their rap sheets, their criminal records, their extreme antisocial
behavior, and their direct and collateral damage to the rights of planet,
people, climate and environment. Build your case against them. Make it
personal. Make it so they don't have any credibility with the public, with
the media, or with their families.
Name them and shame them: We must publicly and repeatedly BRAND
them (like Pepsi) as “A Psychopath” who is destructive, has no empathy,
compassion, conscience or humanity who employ, exhibit, enable or
promote extreme antisocial psychopathic behavior, be it direct, indirect,
collateral or structural violence against individuals or the common good.
Deny them credibility and marginalize all those who support the
psychopathic ruling class.
Question authority: Question more. Recognize all corporations as
psychopaths who at all times are wholly out for themselves. They will stop
at nothing to get more power and profit over you. The ruling class control
all major corporations and thrive on authoritarian power.
They do not act like human beings. They have no sense of care for others
or the common good. They may look like humans, wearing their mask of
sanity, but they are not human, they cannot become human, and must be
seen as not human.
Brand the ruling class’ corporations, networks, think tanks, political
offices and connected organizations pushing totalitarianism and the
destruction of democracy as not having any credible authority and being
extremely antisocial. Tax and regulate all corporations in direct proportion
to their lack of empathy, community, tolerance and forgiveness for those in
their employ and supply.
TOWARD THE CAUSE OF HAPPINESS 211
They must be branded and marketed into the public as “Life destroyers”
and their antisocial behavior criminalized with jail time not fines. Regulate
corporations: Amend the Corporate Charter to demand all corporations
reflect human values of empathy, compassion, conscience and the
common good.
Protest the actions of the ruling class and their surrogates at all levels in all
areas of their work. Build awareness and resistance to the horrors created
by the ruling class, their families and their flunky politicians etc. at all
levels in schools and on up through all aspects of their lives. Expose their
disregard for life, liberty and happiness of others. Show their lack of
empathy, compassion and conscience. Label them as psychopaths.
Shake off concerns that your activities are too nasty or aggressive; you can
either win ugly or lose pretty. Protest your outrage and anger onto the
ruling class; families at home, in school and at their leisure places. Record
their greed and lack of care and sympathy for those in poverty and pain.
We need a new constitution for the people. We must make the ruling class’
position intolerable.
Marginalize the ruling class. Belittle them, sneer at the things that they
treasure and hold dear. Work under cover. Look and act like a regular
person, but in secret be the hero and expose them for what they do and
what they have done.
Use the same kinds of tactics on the ruling class that they use on regular
people. Promote public interest groups that expose them. Change the law.
Convict psychopaths on the basis that the “collateral damage” caused by
their extreme antisocial behavior is inhuman and creates injury to large
numbers of people.
Introduce an impact tax: Tax all economic, environmental, physical and
psychological pollution and damage. Make polluters clean up all the mess
they make at their expense. Use humor to minimize or marginalize the
ruling class. Demolish the moral authority of powerful political voices
promoting the interests of the ruling class.
Promote unions. Represent the common good. Trick the ruling class to
come out and say they are overreaching and endorse your position rather
than the ruling class’ position.
Truly define and publicly brand "What it is to be a psychopath,"

POLITICAL HYPOTHESIS
Politics is hypothesis based on the assumption it knows the truth
of how to govern human beings, when at the same time it denies
the reality of their interconnected and interdependent lives.
Politics must determine the truth of what a human being is, and what a
human being's relationship is with other human beings and the planet, in
order to establish the truth from which to govern. Humanity is one living
functioning organism, all its actions and non-actions are relative to all
other actions and non-actions and are wholly connected inseparably to
each other as one, indivisible.
A human being survives with all other human beings, interconnected and
interdependent with each other in, and as part of, the planet’s ecosystem. If
we destroy the ecosystem we destroy ourselves. That is the political truth
for all human beings.
Our society accepts and respects the ruling class as sane, while their
“crimes” destroy democracy, the common good, the climate, the economy
and the futures of billions of people.
The ruling class exhibit extremely antisocial behavior and have been given
license to destroy anyone and anything, in their pursuit of their power and
greed. We have allowed them the "right" to crush, spoil, ruin, rape, pillage
the ecosystem and kill people, with their legalized, non-punishable
"collateral damage" they so willingly use for their own personal profit at
the expense of all others.
The ruling class is not like us; they have no remorse or guilt for our plight
or their destructiveness. Their actions against us show us they are white-
collar psychopaths who know their evil is hurting and destroying
Humanity and the ecosystem but they just don't care.
Could it be the selfish, uncaring ruling class who have bought and control
our politicians are a different species from us and by human standards,
aren’t sane? They treat the economy as distinctly superior to the
ecosystem, when the planet’s ecosystem obviously controls both the
economy and Humanity.
The nature of regular human beings is prosocial relationship, community,
cooperation, communication and unity. Humans as a whole want, seek and
exhibit empathy, compassion and peace, with love and care for other
people, practicing the Golden Rule, at least as a means to ensuring their
own survival.
The ruling class’ greed and blatant disregard for these tenets of human
survival is lawless, predatory criminality. Greed has been at the base of all
human problems since the beginning of time.
214 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
Darwin called it the survival of the fittest when man’s horizons were still
unlimited, but now the confines of climate change and a failing ecosystem
promises an early human extinction for Mankind unless we face the reality
of our human interconnectedness and interdependence. The ruling class
and their sycophants are white-collar psychopaths. Their antisocial
corporations too are built with the psychopath's nature, as is capitalism
itself.
We know that a regular human is prosocial and NOT antisocial and
therefore, by that definition, the ruling class, as predatory psychopaths, are
antisocial, NOT prosocial and therefore NOT human. Furthermore, a
psychopath's brain is psychologically and physically different from a
regular human brain that it has no physical material or impairment in its
brain to obscure the action of its reptilian brain. Therefore it behaves like a
predatory reptile, killing to eat.
Psychopaths and psychopathic thinking is the problem behind all human
problems. We know what a human being is. We must therefore take down,
fire and disempower the psychopaths and their sycophants on the basis
that they are not human beings and therefore have no right to rule over
human beings.
All capitalism and corporations must be brought under strict human
control by any and all means necessary, if we are to save Humanity
and the world from the ruling class’ continuous move toward our
imminent self-destruction.
W e can see the wonders the future could hold but we are locked into
a terrifying present that works only for the psychopathic ruling
class at the expense of the many. Civilization is at a crossroads; to
continue as we have is suicidal.
The climate could collapse, the ruling class could kill off the “useless

eaters” to maintain their wealth, power and control. To that end, they
would write and fund a bill to be passed into law that would liberate
millions of people from the oppression of being alive.
They would feel no guilt or remorse for this legislation, claiming it was
necessary “ For the good of all” to kill off as many people as possible
because “there is just not enough food, water, air or money for everyone.”
As self-defined “superior beings,” their lawyers would insist they must
survive because they alone possess the “undeniable talents and abilities
and proven record” to create a bright new future.
The ruling class exacerbated the climate change, polluted the Earth, used
up the natural resources and bought up the water and food supply. They
took control of the economy, the government, the justice system, the
police and the military, bending it all in their favor toward increasing their
wealth and power, while regular citizens are expected to evaporate into
thin air.
The ruling class has run the world since the beginning of time. They have
never had the health, wealth and happiness of other people as their focus.
They have never wanted fairness, common sense and human dignity for
all. Greed, competition and absolute control is always their mantra.
They want everything for themselves, annihilating all economies, cultures
and people who stand in the way of their psychopathic pursuance of their
own selfish goals.
Why would countless millions of regular non-psychopathic people want to
surrender their children, their families, their hopes and their dreams for the
future to the austerity and predatory brutality of the psychopathic ruling
class who have no empathy, compassion or care for anyone.
We know they will destroy the world and everyone in it with their extreme
selfishness and antisocial psychosis if they are allowed to continue to rule
us. We must overthrow them and their plans.
It is the ruling class who has delivered Planet Earth and Humanity to the
point of no return. Whatever the ruling class has given us has come with a
hefty price, that price is now so high “We the People” would be certifiably
insane to allow the ruling class to continue their same corrupt and criminal
domination of the world ‘till we are all sick or dead.
Time for a change, time to control the ruling class, time to cancel their

Will the psychopathic ruling class herd all Americans like obedient sheep
into a living toxic hell, compliant corporate slaves living in quiet
desperation, choking on pollution, watching all we once held sacred,
destroyed for corporate profit?
Is life as we have known it ending?... and the future? There is only the
future of no future; because the ruling class, like all psychopaths, wants all
living things dead.
If we are to have a future for our families and our children, we must be
heroes and find a way to push back while we still can, using non-violent
ways the ruling class does not expect and can never control. The British
lost to the Americans in 1776 because they insisted in fighting in
conspicuous Red Coats and following their antiquated rules of combat.
The American rebels did not play their game. They thought outside the
box and took the British down. The British went home. They had lost
control of America to America’s citizens.
In these dark days, we must repeat the process. We must take a leaf out of
the American rebel’s book, think outside the box and find resistance tactics
to defend our way of life against the arrogant ruling class. Once more we
will and must win back our America again from political corruption,
mismanagement and antisocial behavior. Executives, whether in politics,
business or industry who act like a ruling monarch should not be able fire
tens of thousands of workers and devastate their families.
Capitalism used to be like an eagle, but now it’s more like a vulture. It
used to be strong enough to go and suck anybody’s blood whether
they were strong or not. But now it has become more cowardly, like
the vulture, and it can only suck the blood of the helpless...

ridicule them, shame them and teach them there are consequences for
acting without honor, integrity and care for the people they represent.
“Throw the bums out.” All those politicians who do not care for the
welfare of the electorate: fire them. Deprive them of their privacy, their
salaries, their health care, their pensions, their lawyers and their fat bank
accounts. Put them in community service until they act compassionately
toward all people. We must demand a better democracy and remove those
who destroy it. If one party says climate problems do not exist and yet the
other side disagrees and says “let’s talk it over,” the insurgents laugh
hysterically at the stupidity of the system they have hijacked.
We need immediate and decisive action by our legislators to initiate
cooperation with all leaders around the world to curb emissions, build
strong diplomacy and promote renewable energy. To do that we will
need to cut through our political correctness, our need for war and
our own hypocrisy.
I am tired of the political and financial ruling class trying to get more
control of me and everything I do. They are few and we are many...The
ruling class must be taught to control themselves before they attempt to
control us. Regular people should be in control of their own lives and
opinions because the ruling class is heartless and antisocial, while we
regular people have hearts and are prosocial.
I suggest from now on you listen into the very depths of your heart's
instinct and intuition. Ask yourself: is it right that the ruling class should
have control over your life and the lives of others? If your heart says
“No,” remember your heart speaks the truth of your own body's cell
intelligence. Listening to the heart of you means you experience on a
physical level that which is wrong or right about what the ruling class are
telling you or doing to you.
Trouble is, people may think the ruling class are not right and resist them
on the basis of their thoughts, as those thoughts pass through their minds
like cars on a crowded freeway. Our thoughts pass by so quickly, often
before we have time to grasp the emotional reality of what is being done to
us or what we can do about it.
The ruling class wants control of our hearts and minds.

MORALITY
America needs a set of non-religious moral values as the basis
of all personal, government and corporate interactive behavior.
JIGSAW
America is a jigsaw puzzle
a massive tangled web of everything.
W hen you are thinking about a societal problem you would like to
fix, chances are you will examine it in its own context, almost
autonomous of other things and as a result you get no good answers
because the problem is taken out of context and its relationship to other
pieces of the jigsaw puzzle is unknown or ignored.
In order to understand your piece of the puzzle, you need to look at the
whole picture of the entire jigsaw in context before you can ever hope to
understand and be able to fit in your piece in and solve the problem. If you
do not see the whole jigsaw you are blindly playing in abstraction. How
can you understand and solve your problem piece of the jigsaw without
referencing and examining the whole jigsaw picture?
Usually we separate, understand, discuss and find answers to each
problem piece of the jigsaw as if it were autonomous, without seeing,
knowing or even considering the whole picture. No wonder we never
solve our problems. We are trying to understand our society by pulling it
to pieces, fragmenting it and atomizing it, only to find we are killing it in
the process.
We must examine and find remedies for the problems of our country based
on the whole jigsaw picture of everything it is. The country is going insane
because it denies and omits the whole picture of itself, having never taken
the time to discover the whole picture that solves the jigsaw puzzle of life.
The ruling class made the jigsaw and creates wars between us, to
divide us from the power to govern ourselves. Make your enemy your
friend. United, we have the power to govern ourselves.
A unified society is a prosocial society of the people, by the people and for
the people. It is a necessary and natural survival strategy for Humanity
under the certainty of Humanity’s early extinction brought on by the
continuous unrestrained greed of the psychopathic ruling class, who must
be regulated to ensure Humanity’s survival. The ruling class can only
survive in a prosocial society when they exhibit behavior born out of
empathy, compassion, common decency and common sense for the
common good.

GEORGE MONBIOT
sympathy and a benevolent prosocial care for the welfare of others. They
recognize other people as equal and their rights the same as everyone
else’s.
A human being has concern for common good in the realization that an
innate interconnected and interdependent relationship with other people is
their key to survival and who has a desire to cooperate and get along with
others, often reaching out to those who may need help in difficulty.
Human beings care about each other and depend on each other because
they know their survival depends on those around them. They embrace the
knowledge that all people are connected, equal and deserve respect. They
have prosocial tendencies and a sense of fairness; they can follow rules
and can control their impulses.
What we are as human beings comes from our instinct, our gut feeling, our
heart and our intuition, rather just from our intellect, logic or reasoning. If
one establishes having empathy, compassion, a conscience and love for
other human beings as prerequisite to the definition of a human being,
then a being who does not possess or use prosocial qualities is not “a
human being” and is anti-human - a psychopath, undeserving of the same
rights as a “prosocial human being.”
We human beings know ourselves. We survive in a group. We would not
survive if we were made to live alone. We depend on others; we need
empathy to care for others because our survival depends on group life and
sensitivity to the emotions of others. We are not selfishly motivated; we
are inherently good. We are caring and compassionate and have sympathy
for others.
Riches and poverty do not happen in a vacuum. Each one of us contributes
to the lives of all others, positively and negatively. Most people don’t want
to accept their interdependence because it would seem their success or
failure is not purely dependent on their own ability and their own will but
instead is, in part, the responsibility of all. Humans beings are there for
each other, care about each other and depend on others because they know
their survival depends on those around them.
The climate shows us that we are all connected and all interdependent; one
man’s smoke is another man’s breath and yet, society continues to analyze
each and every societal problem as distinctly separate and unconnected
from all other problems or the whole. Reality has one cause.
THE CAUSE OF HAPPINESS 233
We all have a reliance on and responsibility for all other people implicit in
our prosocial human nature. We live in an integrated whole system of one,
without separation.
All attempts to rectify or improve any thing within the whole thing is to
deny the relevance of all other things in relation to it. Looking at the
effects of our lives and actions as if they are separate and detached from
All and Everything is a myth. There is no escape from our connected
reality. In order to understand any one thing, we must place our enquiry in
the context of the All and Everything.
Our problems come from our valuation and identification of all the
“things” as separate from one another, not realizing the reality of All and
Everything, is “one.” (Every human being’s action and thing is relative to
all other people, actions and things.) All and Everything, seen and unseen,
in past, present or future is relative to and affected by any every other
thing. The whole is one, without separation, division, or limit; one certain
truth.
I believe all citizens must be prosocial heroes for their own lives,
families and destiny. I believe our future must be prosocial and
community based. Hopefully, with those communities knitted together
we could perhaps rise above our terrifying future.

All people are connected to all people, all people are connected to all

is connected to our imagination, our imagination is connected to our
education, our education is connected to our suffering, our suffering is
connected to our happiness. Our happiness is connected to our nature, our
nature is connected to All and Everything all of the time.
All things of verifiable existence and all things of non-verifiable existence
are one in a never-ending, never-beginning, flowing process of the
synthesis that is All and Everything.
Synthesis is the spontaneous, unequivocal and simultaneous surrender of
all things to each other in a non-dual state of oneness, a whole and
complete process. Synthesis is the nature of All and Everything seen and
unseen; past, present and future, in one living organism; interdependent
and relative to all aspects of every other thing.

We are all connected and interdependent and rely on the connected and
interdependent actions and non-action of all others for our survival.
Therefore, we must be prosocial and embrace the common good.
All our misery comes through the belief in the idea of manifoldness,
the separation between man and man, between nation and nation,
between earth and the universe, between mind and body, between
Man and God. If you go deep enough, all will be seen as only
variations of the one, and he who has attained to this conception of
oneness has no more delusion.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
duty and personal responsibility is to all those things, all others and
ourselves. Mutual respect for the individual human being must be the
governing principle of our behavior and all our actions, so that every
member of the human race is valued, validated and understood to be an
essential integral part of the one living organism that is All and
Everything.
We are all part of one living organism without separation, division or
limit. All things are relative to all other things. All and Everything is one
thing. All “things” and actions of all universes are relative to all of us as
ours are to them. All separation is illusion, created by our reaction to our
own “I am” and our desire for survival.
All human beings are mutually dependent on each other
for their continuing survival.
All human beings are one with all other human beings. Humanity is one
with Planet Earth. Planet Earth is one with All and Everything, known and
unknown.
Deep down in our heart we probably know this truth but we have
been taught to ignore our feelings, instinct and intuition as
meaningless, to bury our knowledge and accept our servitude to the
ruling class who deny our interconnectedness and interdependence as
the essential prosocial “glue” that holds Humanity together. We are all
integral, equal and unique but we are one, interconnected inter
dependent, relative to and affected by, any and all aspects of every
other thing.
R acism, usually disguised as a law and order issue, is how the ruling
class controls the many, blaming “the other” (undesirable minority or
underclass) for every nuance of every societal problem, thus alienating
and dividing society against itself. Opportunities in America always serve
white privilege first.
THE CAUSE OF HAPPINESS 239
Race is the initial tool for the division, separation and conquest of the
"losers" and so-called “inferior types.” Many people have fallen for Fox
News and conservatives telling them their “white privilege” has been
taken away by minorities.
On the radical ill-treatment of black people, society needs radical action to
change its entire understanding about what a human being is.
Constitutional human rights say everyone is equal. Yet, states’ rights
spouted every day seemingly override human rights and voting rights
according to state governors who believe they are superior to people of
color. They continually trap us in their conversation and legislation against
racial equality. Their action is cruel and perpetuates the worst in all of us.
There must be equal human rights and equal treatment of all human
beings, period.
Politicians who do nothing about this terrible problem are complicit
in this abuse and therefore guilty of human rights violations since they
took a salary but didn’t do their job. They should be removed from
office until they realize men and women are equal. When they do, they
will not sit around waiting to have another conversation about who is
equal. Equal is equal. Done.
We are all dependent on the common good; it is the one thing that affects
us all that we all disregard and we all need. We should be looking out for
what is good for all of us, not just focusing on the selfishness that will
make life better for us “individually” at the expense of another.
What is the main cause of our problems? Why are we examining the
effects of our blatant societal destruction as if they were disconnected
from a common cause?
Politicians, journalists and commentators alike all insist they understand
Man’s desperate problems, as if they can be explored in isolation and
made solvable. As a result, we have endless useless solutions to a
multitude of terrifying problems that deny our connectivity, our
interdependence and our common good.
The mind of Man cannot verify itself
yet demands verification of every thing except itself.
The mind of Man is the root cause of all the ways we have created to kill
ourselves. We are all so busy discussing the effects of our problems that
we ignore their root cause, manufacturing a further multiplicity of useless
answers that take us deeper and deeper into the malaise of shared fear and
discontent.
No elected politician is outraged against the destruction of the common
good. They are all too busy fighting amongst themselves about the
problems and their effects, they are blind to their cause, offering only
ignorant, short-sighted, politically correct answers that deny all human
brotherhood, interrelationship and interdependence. For example:
If the discussion is the environment, we talk about Arctic ice, greenhouse
gases, pollution, oil companies and politicians ad nauseam and ignore the
common good.
We are left in a boundless universe of effects, reflected in decades of
empty laws we must obey, that are all bereft of causality and authorize
selfishness above the common good. We will never find solutions to
our global problems if we continue to focus on the effects of our
problems rather than the cause of them.

Common sense is your “gut” knowledge; it expresses your cell

Common sense consists of what people in common would agree on;

1. A prosocial direct democracy (by popular vote)
2. Save the climate, ecosystems and wildlife.
3. A living wage for all/wage equality for women.
4. Single payer healthcare for all.

10. Medicare and Social Security for all.
The signing of the pledge contract would be a legal affidavit declaring the
person’s valid intent to accept nothing less than the 10-Point Plan for the
Public Union for a Prosocial Society / (PUPS). Only candidates committed
to supporting PUPS contracts would gain its support in elections. Union
dues could be used to put up PUPS candidates as political representatives.
Unionizing the public around a solid union platform for a prosocial society
would reflect the public’s “common sense demands” as expressed in
national poll after poll.
The Public Union for a Prosocial Society. (PUPS) is a solidarity union of
regular people in the worldwide movement against corporate control of
government, globalization and neoliberalism. It stands for and affirms the
central role of working people taking the initiative in governmental change
by using direct action. PUPS carries out its own organizing and control.
Once a person has joined and agreed to PUPS’s defining principles, they
retain their union membership for as long as they want it.
The Public Union for a Prosocial Society would pull power back to the
people and would demand what the public wants. It would act against all
those politicians who do not contract to fulfill the prosocial 10-Point Plan.
PUPS would soon be big enough to take down any and all politicians in
any election and win primaries for the American people based on the fixed
criteria of the pledge contract they signed on to.

The Public Union for a Prosocial Society must reach out to the frightened
American public now, before they are led into the ruling class’ verbal gas

Protesters could recruit regular American people to PUPS asking them to
put aside quibbling about areas of individual concern, and pledge contract
to the 10-point plan to unite the people against anyone and any policy that
is antisocial, psychopathic or discriminatory. We must unite for a prosocial
society before we can be reborn into a new nation.
There is hope in the unity of the people. The trick is for the public to not
react to government shock tactics but to assume "all is lost" and begin
from there. In cognitive therapy we do not talk endlessly about all that ails

oppression, in this case creating prosocial communities of self- reliance
and self-government.
We turn away from trying to be rich like the oppressive class, stop looking
up to them, stop respecting them and their achievements, stop wanting to
be them, stop following their example. They want to divide us; let us be
divided from them but not from each other. Bring the people together as a
prosocial society separate from our oppressors, a society where we rely on
each other separate from the psychopaths who rule over us.
Let us educate ourselves to know and understand the weakness in their
psychology toward exploiting them and branding them amongst ourselves
as the psychopaths they are, thus freeing ourselves from their assumed
right to control us.
Cause no harm, judge not, be non-aggressive, free of prejudice, impartial,
altruistic, practice kindness and empathy; support self-worth and human
dignity.
“Injustice, No!” will be our rallying cry as we pull apart the rules of the
sick billionaire money kings and create a new prosocial world order. If we
are going to survive, we must free our suppressed outrage and forge it into
the prosocial weapon of the truth inside us, a thunderbolt in our hearts
ready to take down the corruption of both political parties.
We are the agents of change; power flows through our veins. We are
justice. We are outrage. We are turmoil for all those who have captured
people in the name of injustice, greed, false entitlement, assumed
superiority and power for profit.

We are PUPS. We are prosocial people, of the people, by the people and
for the people. We are all we need. The public is the power. We have
nothing to lose and a future to gain. We resolve to fight injustice. The light
of life will set you free to be who you really are in the face of your
oppressors.
Be Prosocial. Live Prosocial. Vote Prosocial. Elect Prosocial.
O ur world and its peoples are under radical threats to life from fear
and uncertainty. Abolish war. Redirect all war spending into the
pursuit of local, national and global peace.
Strengthen international ties; build relationships with others at the
personal and government level. Reach out with love and care for everyone
because it’s more difficult to engage another person when you have no
personal relationship with them….
The Golden Rule says, “Do unto others as you would have others do unto
you.” This mantra acclaimed by religions all over the world unites us all at
the very core of our being if we are to have any hope of surviving the
massive problems promised us, like climate change, poverty, hunger, war
and terror.
Relationships based on goodwill, loving kindness and care for all others
are absolutely necessary for the survival of Humanity now. Every person
is directly and indirectly interconnected and interdependent with every
other person.
The Golden Rule promises tolerance, equality and justice, it is the
lubricant of life; without it, Humanity is doomed to consume itself.
The Golden Rule teaches us love and compassion for each other, enabling
everyone to live up to their personal humanitarian responsibilities and
potential.
Practice the Golden Rule not just because it is the right thing to do
but it is the only way to ensure our harmonious and balanced survival
in an increasingly difficult future.
THE CAUSE OF HAPPINESS 257
B rotherly love, peace, freedom, truth and wisdom express the Ideals of
Man and they are the only way to save the human race from
morphing into the antisocial machine.
Every country of the world, with the exception of Bhutan, refuses to
uphold the ideals of Man and make them part of the laws of our daily lives
because they would jeopardize corporate profits.
Let us not naively believe everything will be all right in the end. Let us not
recite hopeful prayers for the intervention of a higher power. No! Let us be
heroes. Let us bear the yoke of responsibility for who we have become and
what we have created.
Let us remind the world we humans, beyond all doctrines, politics or
religions, demand the ideals of Man be the basis of government, human
rights and our key to our children’s future.
Let us encourage every person everywhere to find and live to the highest
ethical standards. We must reach out with love and care for everyone in
the knowledge that if we don’t, we won’t survive. We need each other
united in the Ideals of Man because it is much more difficult for people to
hurt or ignore you if they have a good personal relationship with you.
Life is about being compassionate to one another, making sure everyone
lives up to their personal and humanitarian responsibilities. As our world
gets smaller we should look at it holistically and act accordingly, knowing
we are all connected. A human being cannot be separated from its arms or
legs or from its heart or its breath or its mind; it is one body, one piece,
whole and inseparable from its parts.
We must practice our prosocial ideals not just because it is the right
thing to do but also because it is the only way to ensure the survival of
the human race.
Come together, we have power, we have agency
We are many and they are few.

ELIO D’ANNA
Undeterred, I knew the strength inside me would soon return. After lunch
and helping with the dishes, I would return to the battlefield, a hero ready
to bring evil to its knees. Nothing could stop me!
Truth is, in the real world I was scared and ran to my Mum at the first sign
of trouble. I was just too damned sensitive, crying at touching scenes in
the movies or when I got beaten up by a bully half my size.
The kids at my school called me “Big Ears.” (They were right.) It made
me shrivel. I was tall for my age, but with their chastisement and my own
insecurities, I felt like a fool.
At home, in private, I pulled angry faces in the mirror to terrify future
attackers. I pretended proficiency at karate, yelling fake Japanese and
skillfully chopping the air. I constantly pretended to be tougher than I was.
I suppose we all do. I used to stick my thumbs in my belt loops and
swagger around looking real tough like a cowboy, but the kids at my
school saw right through me.
I needed my own special hero – someone to copy, someone to model
myself after, someone better at life than I was. I looked up to my Dad
Steve, and I tried to emulate him. He was a great role model, except there
he was every night, looking tired in dirty overalls, covered in brick dust, a
cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.
As much as I loved and respected him, he couldn’t really be my hero. I
could feel, touch, see his vulnerabilities and he was way too close. I
needed a hero whom I could carry in my head, who was free from general
human frailties.
Superman was great. I felt like I was Superman when I “flew” off our
front garden wall, a red plastic cape billowing behind me as I fell three
glorious feet into the flowerbed below.
Superman was always saving the world or some girl or other. I identified
with him completely. He was a man after my own heart – we both wanted
to save the world and pretty girls from the evildoers.
Comic book heroes like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc., were
seed ideas that millions like me recognized and absorbed into their thirsty
imaginations. They were our modern-day knights in shining armor who
could destroy any evil and carry our every dream to fruition.
262 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
They were regular human beings who could transform themselves by their
own will to become powerful heroes of unlimited courage, integrity and
genius. They gave to us the dream that perhaps within us there was a hero
waiting to get out if we could only find the “magic word.”
I tried everything I could to effect personal transformation, including
spinning around in several telephone boxes. Nothing happened. I was very
disappointed and bruised. I don’t think I was doing it right.
I had to face the reality that Superman and pals were not real, and as much
as I aspired to follow in their footsteps, I couldn’t. Perhaps, however, if I
had a body like Superman, at least I could ward off those who wanted to
bully me.
I saw an ad in the paper for a bodybuilding course. A puny guy was getting
sand kicked in his face by a big, brawny guy who stole his girl. Months
later after the little guy had done the bodybuilding course, he returned to
beat up the big guy. He got the girl. I got the course.
I did endless exercises, which the course flyer assured me would build my
chest size. I ended up looking even more gangly and spastic than before. I
had a huge barrel chest. When I touched my toes, I looked like a spider
with half its legs missing.
I was freaked out, scared and vulnerable. I considered myself too weak
and annoying to live. Suicide seemed the only worthwhile contribution I
could make to society. I tried to hang myself but the rope broke. I tried
sucking on a garden hose stuffed in a car’s exhaust, but the car ran out of
gas. I threw up nothing a total of twenty-three times.
The thought of slashing my wrists made me queasy. Taking pills was never
my strong point. Electrocution held a certain fascination, but the thought
of becoming a human french-fry really turned me off.
Thank goodness for James Bond. He was a real man – no spandex under
his immaculately tailored suit. Here was a tough, ruthless, sexy, high-tech
personality with all the grace, charm and humor of a refined Englishman.
Did I say he was sexy? He could woo the ladies, save the world and then
be drinking a martini before dinner. He saved my life. I would become
Bond.
I was Bond…James Bond! I drank my water shaken, not stirred. I shaped
THE HERO 263
my fingers like a Beretta, fired, then blew the imaginary gun smoke off
my fingertips. I was hip, cool, and deadly smooth all at the same time.
Bond was so good at getting women to love him. James was like me,
dignified and seductive.
I believed in love, wine and romance. I had little or nothing in common
with my friends who were always off somewhere proving their manhood
or exhibiting their lack of it in sports, drinking beer or shagging birds.
They left women to the sexy types like Bond and me. I liked that because I
wanted women, lots of them, to fall in love with me, give themselves
completely to me. I wanted women everywhere to adore me like I was a
rock star.
In my bedroom with the door closed, I posed as a rock star, singing into a
short piece of broom handle with a worn-out bit of string hanging off it
like a microphone lead. I could do all the moves. I was hip and sexy,
rotating my hips seductively. I was a rock hero.
I learned a little of what I truly believed to be a rock star’s inner thoughts
and emotions. I realized his way of looking at things. Of course, that was a
wild assumption, but it felt right – it felt true in my heart. I resonated with
the ideas that made up the hero. I was, it seemed, channeling the great
rock-n-roll hero inside me.
Unfortunately, I followed in the rock hero’s footsteps all too easily,
spending every moment of three months so stoned I thought tomorrow
was yesterday. I let the rock star fade away.
After watching action movies over and over, I could flesh out the reality of
the hero in my own mind, with instinctive, intuitive, visual ideas that came
from within me and were the fabric of the hero. I could demonstrate what I
saw as the hero’s self-assuredness and strength of character. I knew how to
live in calmness without fear. I learnt to be courageous, strong and
dynamic. My hero respected women – I respected women.
However, none of my past heroes were quite who I wanted to be. Some of
their characteristics I kept, but overall they were too cold, too dark and too
tough for me. I was just trying to be tough because I felt so weak. Now I
would become strong for me.
I wanted to be nicer. I wanted to feel safe. I always wanted to feel safe.
264 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
My heroes kept me safe, but somewhere along the line, I had become hard
and defensive.
I attached myself to warmer, kinder and gentler heroes – the ones that
were charming and reasonable and made me laugh. I wanted to be like
that. I imitated my idea of each hero’s character, mannerisms and style.
Like an actor learning a part, I studied them, explored their mannerisms
and character, and copied them until I found my way into the backdoor of
their thinking. I understood them thoroughly and completely. I took on
their characteristics and they became me.
I allowed myself to be warm, mellow, vulnerable yet strong, a man who
could laugh at himself. I was laid back, relaxed, always joking around and
showing everyone a good time. I didn’t want to be a tough guy anymore.
Sometimes my hero ideas and memories came from many different
sources. I merged them together as one hero to outwit my schoolboy
adversaries. Watching old black-and-white movies, I impersonated
charming affable characters who always won the girl. When I got into
those characters, girls loved it and soon I was a ladies’ man, kind, cool,
elegant, smooth and debonair. A man to be trusted, someone I would like
as a friend, someone I could rely on.
This was the hero. I played him every day, and my relationships improved.
I could see his image in my mind – I was like him, a nice guy, friendly,
confident and debonair. As I needed more of the hero in me, I slipped on
his mannerisms and slid down into his source in the depths of me, where I
could feel the best of the hero and his morals and express his integrity in
my daily life.
I knew what it felt like to be the hero, genuine, powerful, self-assured and
beyond defeat. I liked my idea of myself. I was the hero and I was super.
As a kid, I knew real power. I was the superhero in my heart and mind.
But as I grew older, the world told me I wasn’t so super anymore. I must
conform and toe the line if I wanted to enjoy life and be a success. I
believed what I was told. I followed the orders and obeyed the rules just to
get ahead, agreeing to things that deep down I knew were wrong.
I believed what I was told. But just to get ahead, I saw myself conforming

THE CASTLE
One possibility is that our universe exists for no reason
has no purpose and so our lives have no meaning other than
whatever meaning we invent for ourselves.
UNKNOWN
I was living in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was hectic. I had to get away, but
where? A friend told me about a quiet beauty spot to the southeast of
Edinburgh called Gifford thirty miles away in East Lothian. It sounded
like it was just the place to relax.
Gifford was the birthplace of John Witherspoon (1723–1794), a Scottish
Presbyterian minister and a signatory of the US Declaration of
Independence. Arriving in Gifford’s main square, the Goblin Ha’ pub
caught my eye. I rented a room. I would write and get back to basics.
The Goblin Ha’ has been a pub since 1708.
It looked like it was still the original structure.
Inside on the walls were large murals depicting the local historical figure
of Lord Hugo de Gifford. According to legend, Lord Hugo was a Merlin-
like wizard who practiced nature magic in his castle in the woods. The
locals told me to “Stay away, it's a very scary place.”
According to legend, in 1267 Hugo conquered the power of evil at the
castle, turning it into hobgoblins who, at Hugo’s order, built in one night
the subterranean chamber of the Goblin Hall under the body of the castle.
266 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
When the hall was finished Hugo sealed the hobgoblins back into the earth
with a solid wall of rock.
The famous Scottish poet Sir Walter Scott had immortalized Hugo de
Gifford in his poem “Marmion.”
A stanza from Marmion written on the pub wall intrigued me because it
made a simple promise:
Seek the moated castle's cell,
Where long through talisman and spell
While tyrants ruled, and damsels wept
Thy Genius, Chivalry, hath slept.
So MY genius slept there? I had to go to the castle.
I strode along the beautiful country road toward the castle, spurred on by
the castle ruin vaguely marked on an ordinance survey map.
The castle at Gifford, known as Yester, was built in the eleventh century
on land given to the Hay Family of Normandy as payment for their part in
the Norman Conquest of Britain in 1066.
It was claimed the Goblin Hall was a secret initiation chamber by the
earliest freemasons when they were persecuted due to its secret
ceremonies and their international connections.
Prehistoric settlements and ancient Roman camps surround the castle.
Over the centuries, a wealth of strange and inexplicable events have
occurred at the ruins, including the death of the last white wolf in
Scotland, countless UFO sightings, witches’ covens and unexplained
psychic phenomena.
One story recounted how a lone Scottish piper, in full regalia, had
accepted a standing wager of a bag of gold to do what no man before him
had ever done: stay overnight in the Goblin Hall. He disappeared and was
never seen again. Other challengers trying to uncover the castle’s secret
were injured in freak accidents or like the piper, they just plain
disappeared.
Tourists and researchers have always been actively discouraged from
visiting the castle, and no archaeological dig has ever been carried out on
the site, even though legend says the wizard’s artifacts are buried there.
THE HERO 267
The castle, daunting and sinister, sat on a high, rocky double mound with a
raging moat surrounding it. Cheering, I ran to it like I was meeting a long-
lost friend. I ran across the access bridge and onto the castle grounds. I felt
different on the castle mound, as if I had left one reality and entered
another. I was scared.
Many of castle walls had fallen into rubble, overgrown and
unrecognizable. The ones that remained were barely standing. Holes in
them, once windows, peered open to the sky. A squadron of crows
entertained themselves, practicing squawking sorties and fearsome
aerobatics.
Beneath me a gaping black hole lured me down a wide parade of thirty-
three worn stone steps into the darkness of the Goblin Hall. The hair on
my arms stood up electrified. I found myself looking back over my
shoulder as if I were expecting something to jump out of the shadows.
Haunted by eerie shapes making faces in the fading light, I felt deeply
alone. I descended the steps into the hall whispering Scott’s description of
Gifford’s wizard.
Lord Gifford deep beneath the ground
Heard Alexander’s bugle sound
And tarried not his garb to change
But in his wizard’s habit strange
Came forth a quaint and fearful sight.
I entered a huge, cold, dank-smelling underground chamber with an
arched cobbled roof and a dirt floor. A window high up allowed a thin
shaft of the last of the sunlight to pierce the darkness, illuminating the
Goblin Hall.
As my eyes adjusted to the darkness I could make out the hall. It stretched
50 feet long, 30 feet wide and 20 feet high at the center. There were no
mystic signs engraved on the walls, but it felt magical, like I was in a
primitive church. Hugo de Gifford conquered the power of evil here.
In the corner of the Hall, I could make out a dark opening cut out of the
solid rock, with a spiral staircase leading down into the bowels of the
earth. Using a cigarette lighter as a source of light, I slowly ventured down
the rock-strewn staircase. It was black as pitch. As I descended, the stairs
spiraled, turning to the right and then to the left again. I was egged on
thinking of Scott’s other relevant stanza.
THE HERO 269
and hit a wall. I turned, moved and hit another wall, then another. Nothing
but walls. Trusting the voice in the heart of me, I pushed on.
All of a sudden there was no wall. I moved forward, there was an opening.
I couldn’t see it but I felt it and then I felt a single stair. I climbed over it
and onto another stair and the third. I was going up. There was no light.
My knees grazed on the rock-strewn stairs. I pushed on; the voice in me
seemed to say, “Yes – go,” encouraging me to push on and up through the
pitch-black darkness.
At once, a pinprick of light like a north star appeared above me and grew
bigger as I moved up the staircase. Soon I was able to see my way. I was
able to stand and climb the spiral stair easily fuelled by relief and
gratitude.
I just lay at the top of the staircase on the dirt floor staring up at of the
Goblin Hall’s arched cobbled ceiling. My panic was gone but I was
shaking. Exhausted, I lay there for a moment to catch my breath. The light
in the Goblin Hall was fading fast….I fell asleep.
When Sir Walter Scott published his poem Marmion, there was apparently
public outcry as to why he had included the Hugo de Gifford’s story in
that work. Critics denounced it as a distraction and completely irrelevant
to the meaning of Scott’s main body of the work.
Furious with his detractors, Scott refused to explain his reasoning: perhaps
because he, as a high-ranking Scottish Rites Freemason, had buried secret
knowledge in the very passages they were critical of. I thought of the
promise of Scott’s poem and knew his secret knowledge was in the stanza:
We punish based on intellect and use only intellect to determine the law,
crime and punishment. In the meantime we are left with suffering
feelings in the knowledge that our feeling has been ignored or "put
down" in favor of the control of intellect. No wonder the world is in such a
mess when we ignore our feeling messages to us. It is time for us all to use
both our male and female intelligences to make the world and ourselves
both better and united.
Presently, we live in a duplicitous realm. We are isolating, verifying,
valuing and corporatizing every single thing, separating every single thing
from every other single thing.
We value only what our intellect tells us we can prove. We ignore our
feelings. We look at every single thing as separate from the whole, thereby
creating the illusion that the objective reality we live in is the only reality
that exists when in fact, it simultaneously exists with subjective reality.
Objective and Subjective realities are one in synthesis, where Masculine
and Feminine are one.
We are committed to our intellect. We use it to divide our world into
separate countries, splitting one area from another, alienating every
nationality one from the other. People are not separate. Each person, action
and thing in the world is relative to every other person, action and thing in
the world. Our trust in intellect denies our feeling, distorts our perception
of reality and creates our downfall.
A human fetus lives in total darkness. When the child is born, light reveals
everything to the child; its intellect “recognizes” all things as separate
from all other things. It sees itself as a distinctly separate living being; a
separate life.
In fear of its own feelings about death and dying, the child chooses its
intellect’s response recognizing verifiable life but rejecting the
unsubstantiated feelings associated with fear of death and dying.
The child’s intellect separates itself from its unresolved feelings, creating a
duality and conflict within itself, as it divides and values itself and every
other thing; one from the other in isolation, denying feeling,
connectedness, unity and the oneness of all things.
Thus intellect separates incomprehensible limitless of All and Everything
and atomizes it, sacrificing it to the illusion of separateness.
THE HERO 277
We value only what we can prove. We never consider the whole picture.
Our intellect is consumed with isolating, verifying and valuing each single
thing, separating each single thing from every other single thing as a
means of controlling it, rendering it harmless and understood in its place.
Intellect is expressed through the masculine-style left-brain, which is
rational, analytical and identifies, divides, and values all things,
granulizing all knowledge into provable, unrelated packets of information
“like grains of sand.”
Your right brain, in contrast, acts in a feeling, feminine-style. It is creative
and emotional, expressing your “gut” feelings in the “heart” of you to your
conscious mind.
Intellect separates our reality into object and subject.
Intellect favors object, and separates all things.
Feeling favors subject and includes all things.
Intellect and feeling are two aspects of the same single thing because each
is bound to the other and affects the other. There is no separation.
Separation is the illusion bred by intellect at the expense of feeling.
The rules of intellect that have shaped humanity for thousands of years
have stood us in good stead … until now. Now we are facing limit, and
there is much less freedom and space to grow in the world.
The rise of corporations means a regular person’s life, opportunities and
future have compartmentalized and narrowed and are now in the control of
others. The people of the world have been conquered and are wholly
owned by corporations and their intellectual only approach to all living
things.
We trust all things of intellect because we believe they have verifiable
existence, meaning and worth and appear to harness, quantify, limit and
control the frightening and limitless universe we live in. We distrust all
things of feeling because we believe they are non-verifiable and appear
void, without substance, definition, control or dimension. Feelings appear
threatening because they surpass our control and all limits.
We give greater credibility to all things of intellect and underestimate all
things of feeling. We trust our body but not our mind. We assign more
credibility to the intellects of men than of women. We embrace our
physical fitness and ignore our mental fitness. We are atomized.

THE VOICE
IN THE HEART OF YOU
Your heart is your master - your mind your servant.
Your mind may be captured but your heart is free.
UNKNOWN
O nly you know where the heart of you is. Your brain has two lobes
representing duality. Your heart is one and represents unity. Your
human ego is at odds with the life force. Your human heart is in resonance
with the life force. Let your heart reign over your ego.
The heart is 80% of the nervous system expressed in intuition, vision,
empathy, compassion, wisdom, love and truth.
The heart is a vastly more powerful force than the mind, it wants what is
right for others.
The heart is a sophisticated, highly complex, self-organized
information encoding and processing center with its own functional
“brain” that communicates with and influences the cranial brain via
the nervous and hormonal system. These influences profoundly affect
brain function and most of the body’s major organs, and ultimately
determine the quality of life.
HEART-MATH INSTITUTE
Every human being has a network of neurons that line the intestinal gut,
nervous system, heart and solar plexus. They are very sensitive and very
extensive. These “gut feelings” are the communication system that creates
the “voice” in the heart of you that informs you about a situation you are
in or about to face. The information it provides is so useful some scientists
have nicknamed the heart our "second brain."
It sees the world as if it were an antenna that reads the “vibrations” of any
situation and translates them into intelligent ideas and information.
Sometimes called the sunlight nerve center, it is the seat of the emotions,
the nerve reaction and feeling center of every human being and the center
of your emotional connection to yourself. It expresses your whole body’s
cell intelligence through your feelings as an intuitive voice in the heart of
you. Unclench your heart.
THE HERO 281
When you are confused or in danger, the voice in the heart of you will
usually pop into your head as an intuition, a feeling, a sixth sense, a
hunch, or an instinct, fearlessly leading you in a better direction.
Intuition is a thing that you know from instinctive feeling rather than
conscious reasoning. Intuition is natural, instinctive, innate, inborn,
inherent, congenital, unconscious, subconscious, right-brained,
involuntary, visceral, spontaneous and simultaneous.
WIKI
A person paying attention to their “gut” feelings can receive valuable
knowledge and gain wisdom beyond their accepted intelligence to help,
guide and protect them. Your second brain provides better information and
greater vision than your thinking brain can. Rather than conscious
reasoning, it is intuitive feeling, subconscious, involuntary, visceral,
spontaneous and simultaneous, it is smarter than you are; it provides you
with brilliant insight about what is coming at you as you live your life.
When you listen to the heart of you, you get insider information. It's as if it
can see around corners to inform you ahead of time; it is your supernatural
intelligence and mystical intuition telling you the truth of your situation,
helping you through the problem, saving you from yourself if you just
listen.
The voice in your heart natural power. It is clairvoyance and second sight.
It provides you with “secret” knowledge for your benefit. It’s an inkling, a
suspicion, an idea, a sense, a notion, premonition, presentiment, gut
feeling, gut instinct.”
The voice in the heart of you provides you with viable answers to the
problems of your life. When we ignore its voice, we rob ourselves of what
we really are or put ourselves at unnecessary risk.
Not paying attention to the voice in the heart of you is a mistake we all
make. To go against it is to go against your conscience and to willingly
injure yourself, to move toward darkness and ultimately death. If you defy
and defeat your conscience you create lasting emotional unease.
Emotional unease creates disease. Listen to the voice trying to guide you
through life.

ambitions are destroyed by the greed of the antisocial criminal ruling class
who creates the laws against you for their own profit. Listen to your heart

Follow your heart’s directives; free yourself from the control of others.
Disentangle yourself from your problems and believe in the voice in your

what’s right you must know what right is.
Create a revolution between your ears your way. Determine for yourself
what is right for you in your own heart by listening to your own heart.
Trust your feelings and follow your instincts, irrespective of the
misinformation fed you by political and corporate propaganda created to
cloud your vision, steal your rights and limit your freedom.
Too often you laugh at your intuition and ignore the voice in the heart of
you. You betray the best of who you are, denying your intuitive
knowledge, abandoning your moral values and putting yourself at
unnecessary risk to corrupt political and corporate control.
Do not belittle your feelings or smother your indignation. Do not succumb
to the manufactured banality of political correctness. It wants you to
comply. It requires you to back down from what you believe. The ruling
class says, “Remain calm while we steal your rights.” Political correctness
is society’s way of neutralizing your rebellion and outrage.
If you are outraged at political, economic or environmental injustice, do
not swallow your feelings, do not let others fuel your apathy or crush you
with fear of retribution. If you remain silent, your outrage will fester
disease in the heart of you. Listen to the heart of you.
Politicians create the laws we live by, affecting millions of lives, based on
party politics alone. They betray the voice in the heart of them, they
compromise their feelings and their better judgment, creating obstacles to
your well being and free expression, in order to please the psychopathic
ruling class and the corporations that influence and fund their reelection.
Shielded by their rarefied, moneyed position, privileged politicians remain
insulated from the emotional pain and suffering their legislation causes
those they “represent.”
Political thinking demands all things conform to capitalist “masculine”
THE HERO 285
Listen to the heart of you and know no member of the ruling class truly
has control of you and We the People have a great and independent power
in our hearts that is rising up and over all those who are slaves to intellect.
Be truly subversive – simply and publicly flaunt, emancipate and
teach the way of the voice in the heart to all those who will listen, for
only the heart can save the world from the destruction by the ruling
class and those who serve them, who do not feel and have no heart.
Step by step, inch by inch, in the face of death, I was empowered, resolute;
I was getting out of there. I heard the voice in the heart of me and did what
it told me. I felt I was getting safer and stronger. When my ego got in the
way, I moved in the wrong way, and felt weaker and more frightened. I
surrendered to the voice in the heart of me. “Find a foothold, grip the tree
branch and pull yourself up. Inch your heel farther onto the roof...your
ankle, then your leg...”
Trusting in the voice, I crawled out of the abyss, back on the roof, lying on
my back staring at the sky, breathless, laughing but changed forever. I
could feel new power in me like I had accessed some fearless hero in me,
who, in the face of terrifying odds had won the battle for my life and his.
We were a good team. I listened, I controlled my ego, and I saved myself.
I am smarter than I thought! I should listen to my heart more often.
You may think of yourself as a regular person, but when you listen to the
voice in the heart of you, you feel a real power in your life. The voice in
the heart of you is the voice in the hero in your heart, the power in you that
never submits and can never be beaten.
Listen to the heart of you. Follow its directive. Free yourself from the
control of others. The hero builds your intestinal fortitude to act on what
you know is right in your own heart and to experience yourself as the hero
on your terms, your own way. Yes! You are naturally prosocial,
compassionate and powerful. Awaken to the hero you know you are. Your
radical imagination will bring the hero to life.
Visualize your self in the image of the idealized hero living in the heart of
you. The hero’s image acts like a psychological mirror, reflecting back at
you the very best you can be in a sense of self that is tangible, quantifiable
and real.
The hero brings you certainty of your value, autonomous independence
and a connection with all things. The person who creates, knows and
believes in the idealized hero feels complete, has meaning, is valuable and
is loved. They no longer feel empty, threatened by others, or want
dominance over others, nor consumes beyond its personal needs.
The hero enables you to survive in this crazy and terrifying psychopathic
world. It gives you protection from the constant corporate brainwashing
assault on your critical faculties as it attempts to remove all traces of your
independence and freedom.

Regular people are ruled by the psychopathic insanity and endless greed of
the ruling class, our ideals, personal values and morals challenged almost
to breaking point. All situations politically, economically and
environmentally are in decline, as the corporate psychopaths tighten their
grip on their avowed intent to control all life for profit. The bad guys seem
to hold all the cards, but no...
Imagine yourself as the hero. How would you be?
How would you act? Would you be scared?
No, the hero doesn’t scare easily.
Push back while you still can.
We can be heroes. Our myths create reality.
Most young people these days aspire to be celebrities, not heroes. They
want to be rich. They desire their fifteen minutes of fame. But to gain their
time in the spotlight, they will do and say anything. In the end, their
corporate media controllers and the demands of the marketplace steal their
individuality and creativity from them.
Celebrities masquerade as heroes of the people but they are
multimillionaire corporate puppets, imprisoned in media praise and
wallowing in contrived corporate glamor. The media has exploited hero
culture and myth for profit. The heroes I loved and cherished and whom I
once modeled myself on have all been used up or overexposed.
Our confidence in what is correct or right is misaligned and corrupted by
politicians, corporations, bankers, religion, advertising and the corporate
media. Their continuous antisocial authoritarian rhetoric tells us what to
do and how “they know best,” while they exploit, manipulate, brainwash
and intimidate us with fear.
We have made ourselves vulnerable and subservient to the control of
others. We must be heroes. Antisocial personalities infect every aspect of
our lives. They are cold-blooded, without sympathy, empathy conscience,
care or compassion for anyone but their own wealth and power at anyone’s
expense. They demand your obedience to them. They believe they are
superior and entitled to be your master. They see human beings as mere
“contemptible” commodities and laugh at the idea of a human soul. Like
the arch villains in comic books or movies, they are ready to destroy
anyone to obtain what they want.
We cannot allow ourselves to be willfully or economically undermined
into the slavery of corporate power. Resist the unconscious effects of the
propaganda fed into our brain chemistry by the corporate media.
Rise above these hostile forces, embrace the hero as your very finest
idea of yourself. You must be strong for what and who you are, for
only then can you become the hero and defeat The Monster of our
time.

S ince time began, the hero of the world has been part of every culture
and ancient civilization since time began, including those of the Celts,
Norse, Chinese, Buddhists, Hindus, Hittites, Native Americans, and
Koreans. the Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, Africans, Mayans, and
Christians, who have all claimed their version of the hero sleeps in every
human heart, regardless of culture, religion, wealth, politics or nationality.
The hero of the world is the culture hero, the personification of the secret
hopes and aspirations of the person and/or nation who invents him or her.
He is the immortal-mortal, by enchantment, he awaits resurrection living
forever in the heart of every human being.
The hero of the world exists in you, beneath the radar of conventional
authority and control, encouraging revolution in your heart against all
those who seek to oppress you, including yourself.
In mystical Christianity, Jesus, the man, is often confused with the
symbolic hero of the world whose wonders he preached. If we all carry the
image of the hero within us, surely we can, through our individual
emotional memory, know and express the hero’s true nature.
In Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism the Ātman is the hero, the invisible
essence of every thing, the limitless being, who dwells in the heart of
every living person, shining brightly, radiant, emanating joy and goodness;
the sustaining power of the whole universe.
294 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
The hero is the primal cosmic man, the universal self of pure
consciousness, bestowing life on all things, representing the oneness of
human existence. The hero is an illumined, symbolic personage that
personifies the divine solar power in every person as absolute, immutable
and universal.
The hero is said to be the mediator between man and God and be endowed
with latent divinity, the genius of you who defends the weak and
exemplifies justice, courage, strength and kindness.
When you feel downtrodden or fearful and you cannot easily see past your
situation, raise yourself up, away from the herd, re-empower yourself in
the knowledge that the hero in you is undefeatable and cannot be taken
from you.
The hero is living in your heart, maybe not wearing spandex and a
cape, but there is part of you who refuses to surrender to weakness, or
kneel to the control of others. It is in the hearts of all people
everywhere, expressing the excellence of your exceptional nature and
the nobility of who you are.
Now that your survival is threatened in so many ways, you must be
superman, the hero of your own life. Be the hero you know you are;
build yourself unseen, in secret, in your heart, beyond all surveillance.
Legend has it Joseph took the Grail bearing the blood of Jesus to England
where it disappeared.
King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table searched everywhere for
the chalice because the blood of Jesus held “The Secret of Life” but they
never found it. After many years of searching, a young knight
accidentally stumbled across the Grail shrouded in darkness.
An evil predatory Monster blocked the knight’s path to the Grail. Its whole
body sparkled with scales adorned with diamonds and gold; each scale
bore the words "Thou Shalt."
The Monster spoke, “I say unto you, I am The Monster Thou Shalt. Every
scale on my body reflects values thousands of years old, for I am all
created value, without care or compassion for you or anyone.
I am greed without conscience, a seductive, gluttonous psychosis of evil,
demanding all riches and all power for me. I devour the world without
care or conscience. I am not accountable for my action. I rape, kill and
pillage the Earth. I take what I need, without a thought for the needs of
others or future generations. My appetite consumes everything and
everyone without pity. I am driven by greed and self-loathing. I become
more destructive with every new piece of gold I get and every drop of life
I suck.
There will be no more “I am” from you. You will obey my will and do as
you are told or I will kill you.”
The knight could not obey the evil Monster and engaged it in direct
combat. After a terrible fight the knight, exhausted, almost beaten, took a
thunderbolt, a sword of light from his own heart and with it struck the
Monster dead.
Suddenly the darkness was gone; the Holy Grail was revealed, covered
with a cloth of gold. The knight threw aside the cloth of gold, realizing if
he kept it, it would enslave him.
Seeking the Secret of Life, the knight looked into the holy chalice. The
blood of Christ swirled in the Grail transforming the blood into petals of a
red rose unfolding; at the rose’s center, a golden heart radiating light of
solar gold, from within it emerged the vision of a living being, a fearless
hero, who silenced all the commandments of "Thou Shalt" in the knight
and freed him from the restrictions imposed on him by the will of others.

The golden heart of solar gold was a sacred pagan symbol for the pineal
gland and known in the ancient mysteries of Hindu, Buddhist, Egyptian,
Greek, Roman and Christian culture.
The pineal gland was seen as the gateway to the seat of the higher
consciousness. It is often called the eye single, the third or spiritual
eye, the place of inner sight, the abode of the spirit of man and the
seat of the soul. Mystics declare it possesses a God-like mystical
awakening, enlightenment, clairvoyant, and perception; where one
sees the face of God.
light received through the eyes, communicating life throughout the human
body.
The pineal gland is the central station for the reception, condensation and
transmission of all the intercommunicating lines between the conscious
thinking person and the external world. It is said to control the biorhythms
of the body, working in harmony with the hypothalamus gland.
The nature and purpose of pineal gland as the golden heart of solar power
expresses the natural qualities of sunlight that personify the hero who
sleeps in the heart of every human being and defeats darkness with light.
Buddhists place special emphasis on the attainment of the radiant
light of bliss in which one acquires the qualities of the visualized
beings and, through them, understands his own identity. The
practitioner visualizes himself as identical to the body of the
envisioned deity, similarly imbued with the enlightened qualities,
practicing them repeatedly until they are completely internalized.

300 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
A fish lives in water and takes water for granted, in the same way
human beings live in light and take light for granted. We are so used
to light, it is “invisible” to us. When we hear talk of light, we think of A
light or THE light and its religious encumbrances, but it is in light itself
that we live, and it is light itself we must trust and believe.
Two seedlings are planted in two flowerpots; both are given enough water
for one week. One seedling is placed in light on a sunny window ledge
and the other is placed in a dark closet. A week later, the seedling on the
window ledge is flourishing and beautiful; the seedling in the closet has
died from lack of light.
Light gives us life; without light we wither and die. Light gives us sight
and health, it empowers us, sustains us, and enables our inspiration,
imagination, joy and happiness, etc. Light is compassionate, empathetic
and forgiving toward us, it guides us and awakens our intelligence simply
by being in it.
As our society continues to submit to the darkness of psychopathic power,
remember; it is light that cuts through darkness, it is light that illuminates
us body and mind.
Light is the secret of life, subversive and free, communicable and
uncompromising. It is our life-giving essence, our ideal. When we model
our behavior on that ideal, we enlighten our thinking and replenish our
vision of ourselves, enabling us to cut through oppression and darkness of
all kinds, like light itself.
Love is the psychological manifestation of light.

moustache with two artistic upward sweeps from his right hand. He rested
both hands on the handle of his walking stick and stared straight ahead.
Mrs. Linton told me to lie down and relax.
“Yeah, right,” I thought. I lay there defying her. No one was going to pull
the wool over my eyes. This woman would have to perform. Through my
half-closed eyes I could see her dragging her hands over my body, arms
and legs.
She was not touching me. It felt as if she were pulling something off me.
At the end of each pull, she immersed her hands in the bowl of clear water,
dried them on a towel and began again.
She seemed to be cleaning off the atmosphere around my body. I glanced
over at the Brigadier, who seemed distant, removed, almost in a trance. I
found it difficult to concentrate. My vision was blurring in the sunlight
coming through the window. I wanted to close my eyes. I resisted as long
as I could. I sensed light and gentle heat flowing from Mrs. Linton’s
hands, radiating over my chest, my shoulders and my legs.
Her hands held steady one over my head but were still not touching me. I
could feel a liquid dripping from her fingertips onto my face. It had the
distinct perfume of jasmine. I could feel the liquid perfume running down
my face. I opened my eyes briefly. There was nothing in or on her hands,
yet the dripping sensation on me continued while the perfume filled the
room.
I couldn’t have got up if I had wanted to. I just lay with my eyes closed.
Beneath my lids, it was as if I were staring into golden sunlight. Mrs.
Linton sealed my body with the sign of the equilateral cross on my chest.
She told me to rest. I fell into a deep sleep.
Mrs. Linton woke me up with a cup of tea and homemade cake. “You’ll
feel better now,” she said. “Your ego was trying to control the things you
fear. In the past, mistakenly, when you were angry, you invited dark
entities into your psyche to defend you, but they only enflamed more
anger in you and caused your isolation from others. They are gone now.”
The Brigadier spoke: “People are suffering in the same way as you. It is
happening everywhere. Darkness has entirely and finally encased our
entire planet. Unless men change their ways and live with true compassion
for their fellow man, the end will come soon. We are preparing you for the
future.”
THE SECRET OF LIGHT 303
I felt better with every “treatment” I had. I was happier, uplifted and more
optimistic because of it. I returned to the Lintons’ home many times,
always full of questions. I always got the same answer. “Life is a
schoolroom, you keep learning the same lesson until you get it right, then
you move on to the next lesson.” That was it?
All my wailing about poor me, my difficult relationships, the daily
confusion burning up inside me, was always met with the same response:
“Life is a schoolroom. Learn your lessons. When you’ve learnt one, you
move on to the next.”
I told the Brigadier I was worried about functioning in a difficult world.
“You can’t escape what’s happening,” he said, “All you can do is protect
yourself and stay true to clear light. Light creates and sustains all life.
Without light, all life on Earth dies. Light is the physical manifestation of
unconditional love. Be like light in darkness; always the hero.”
The Brigadier suggested I could minimize the effects of psychological
darkness saying, “You should imagine yourself being bathed in light.
Visualize clear light all around you in a cocoon, bathing your entire body
from head to toe. It will protect you from the negative effects of darkness.
See clear light, passing into every atom of your being, helping and guiding
you. Light is the power of all things, it creates and sustains all living
things. Without light, life dies.”
The Brigadier gave me a piece to read from The Lancet, the British
medical journal. The article described an indigenous tribe in New Guinea,
who, when a member of their tribe got sick, the whole tribe would focus
imagined light and love flowing from them into the patient, chanting “We
love you, We love you.” According to The Lancet, the patient usually got
better instantly and put the phenomena down to the focus of light and love
on the individual.
Brigadier Linton claimed 99% of all illness, whether mental or physical,
was psychosomatic and the direct result of the dimming of the light in us.
“Simplicity is the key to power,” he said “Light ends darkness and heals
the heart and mind.”
Modern religions have forgotten light creates love. All organized religion,
be it for spiritual or emotional reward, should be avoided. They offer man-
made solutions that move us away from light toward Man’s domination of

God’s world. Their world is darkness. Ours is light. We must take light to
them.”
Several months after my last visit to the Lintons’ I received a letter from a
friend of the Lintons telling me they had both passed away within weeks
of each other. Included in the letter was a personal note to me from Mrs.
Linton which read, “When I am gone, this is all you need to know.”
Love is a great flowing light that shines from within you, casting
warmth and comfort all around you. When the light comes from
within, all things are seen in its radiance and covered with beauty and
interest. When we lose interest in things about us, it is because we are
lacking light. Light will fill whatever space is afforded it. Light never
possesses or covets, it cannot, because it is outgoing. Whatever we
attach to ourselves by desire is just that much displacement through
which light cannot shine. Therefore, be as light is.

T he human body emits, communicates with and is made from light and

A brief lightning-like spark of light activates your life, compels your
action and fuels your will. It is absorbed and released by your DNA as
language in a “masculine/feminine” binary code of emotional intelligence,
communicating with all cells, tissues, and organs, integrating body, mind
and consciousness as one.
Clear visible light gives us a simple, constant example and reminder of
how to behave in order to live life and stay healthy. It gives us the
justifiable right to eliminate the psychopathic darkness against the survival
of human life, health and happiness.
THE SECRET OF LIGHT 305
If you are unsure what is right or wrong, consider the nature of sunlight.
Sunlight creates and sustains life; it is warm, compassionate, nurturing,
uplifting, altruistic and pro-human. The absence of sunlight promises
darkness and death. Use the nature of sunlight as your guide as to how you
must be, how you must act and what you must fight for.
The loss of natural light at work in offices and factories, in dark
apartments, and on shift work, leads to continuous weakened light and
light deprivation, making us vulnerable to anxiety, poor thinking ability,
sleep problems, depression, mood disorders, fatigue and low energy,
irritability, and changes in appetite, most notably carbohydrate cravings.
Light expresses the transcendental nature of all phenomena and the
abstract intuitive nature of nomena (devoid of all the attributes of
phenomena). Light is subtle, it is the invisible essence of every thing
and it is the boundless sustaining power of the whole universe upon
which all existence rests.

touches all, reveals all and benefits all, to the exclusion of none. Light is

If you want to live, thrive and be healthy, live like light behaves toward

basis of life itself.
It is the non-dual understanding of the universe, where all apparent
differences are actually varying manifestations of the single reality of
limitless light in you and everything is connected to everything else all of
the time in a continuous process. All apparent differences are actually
varying manifestations of the single reality of limitless light.
Light has no mass; it is emptiness, nothing can be added to it or subtracted
from it. Necessarily, it holds all things as integral, relative, interdependent,
valuable and loved including itself.
Light expresses the transcendental nature of all phenomena and the
abstract intuitive nature of the enlightened mind devoid of all the attributes
of phenomena.
Light creates All and Everything and is All and Everything as one
consciousness, complete, perfect and eternal, one thing, formless, timeless
and changeless, an edgeless, endless sphere of light; a spontaneous,
simultaneous unified field of consciousness that touches all, reveals all
and embraces all to the exclusion of none, without condition, demand,
choice or cost.
Light is limitless, beyond all mortal confines, indivisible, indestructible,
whole, perfect and eternal, the microcosm and the macrocosm, formless,
infinite, changeless and mysterious. Light is the power of all things; it
creates, sustains and enlightens all living things. Light “loves” every living
thing equally, eternally, unequivocally and unconditionally.
Light leads us to all knowledge, all understanding and all wisdom; it is the
universal power, the prime natural law. All Earth’s cultures, religions and
individuals agree, light is a power for good. Look at all the life light has
been instrumental in creating in the world.
Light shows us what it right, empowering our conscience and voicing its
ideas through the voice in our heart. Light unites us all. We take it for
granted but we can’t live or function without it. We think we know what
it is but we don't recognize that it is all we are.
Light is indestructible oneness, infinite and all-powerful,
omnipresent and omnipotent, self-perpetuating and self-regulating.

Know this: your examination of the hero is but an examination of the best
of what you are, the best you can imagine. The genius you see in the hero
is what you are in the heart of you. Every wonderful and powerful
attribute you discover in the hero is in you. The hero is based on that
person's observation of, response to, understanding of and appreciation for
light itself as a tangible benchmark of a personal moral code.
You define the hero; you create its nature, its influence and its reach. As
you create the hero as a visual idea, your higher consciousness fills in the
gaps in your image; the hero creates you creating it.
The hero is a wellspring of hope for every person, offering a creative and

reality.
You can inhabit your hero’s reality just as the actor does. It is a private,
natural, necessary act of self-love and determination, empowering you to
uplift and fully realize your true nature.
To be in communion with the hero, make the hero’s brain/thought

N o one seems to know what is right anymore. You can only do what’s
right when you know what right is. How do you know what is right?
Darkness is wrong for your life because it inhibits your life and growth.
Light is right for your life because it encourages your life and growth.
Light is in your cells and in the cells of all living things.
Life is dependent on light to survive.
Light gives you life, sight, and provides for you.
Light guides you, inspires you and uplifts you.
Light is unconditional in its giving.
Light is what is right for life. Use light’s behavior, as you understand it, as
your hero, allow it to guide your behavior. Now you know what right is
and you also know what is not right. Now you have the moral clarity of
knowing what is right supporting you to act against what is wrong. This is
the way of the hero.
The hero in you is the personification of light in you, your mentor,
your role model, your guide, and the source of unlimited power for
your self-development.
You can’t escape what’s happening to our world, all you can do is push
back and protect yourself. Be safe, stay true to the light in your heart, it
creates and sustains all life. Without light, life on Earth dies.
Light is the physical manifestation of unconditional love
and the hero in you.

MY DECLARATION
OF INTENT
I act to change the system. I am prosocial and subversive.
I do what the Monster of Capitalism does not expect.
I go against the grain, I am progressive, against the psychopathic
conservatism of the status quo. I act in the way of light for equality in a
prosocial society.
I use light as my guide in the liberation of the prosocial values as the key
to human survival.
The nature of light creates self-knowledge, a light to combat the darkening
of modern times.
I pledge to live light’s implied moral standards in me, keeping them at the
center of my life. I see darkness but I choose light.
Light shows me my direction and sustains my efforts in that direction.
Light brings me continuous help, guidance and protection to every part of
my life.
Light empowers the purpose and success of all my activities and leads me
to genuine happiness, personal fulfillment, creative satisfaction and
everlasting peace.
I work against the destruction of our planet and human prosocial values by
the psychopathic ruling class, their banks, corporations, politicians and
justices.
I no longer accept the command “Thou Shalt.”
I follow the laws of society in the world.
I wear the outer garment of the law.
I behave like everyone else.
I wear the inner garment of the hero.
Operate beneath the radar
of conventional authority and control.

RISE AGAIN
Let us rise up like heroes from the darkness and deceit of evil men.
We are not angels but we are joyous.
We are kindness beneath the face of all disaster.
We are love for others when they are lost.
Love cannot be stopped by any man; love is our gift to the future.
Let us not lower our eyes from this truth we know.
Let us not dangle in the wind waiting to be tossed aside by evil men.
Let us stand in defiance, united against all those who conspire for our
defeat.
We cannot be beaten, for in our hearts there is the certain knowledge
that we are more than this, better than this and greater than this.
Let us stand together united against the darkness of our age.
Let us grow what is good and kind in us and relegate all else to the
wasteland of history.
We will not give in. We will not lie down.
Our path is upwards into the light that we are.
I am light, the hero, the power of healing and will. I will remove the pain
that burdens you. Fear will no longer molest you; no more will its
consequences rob you of your life. I will bring fear to its knees. I will end
it. Know this, I am with you always, caring for you, defending you against
all attacks be they from without or within.
It is important you know you have feelings to show, if you want to stay
alive don’t be what you despise. It is difficult but it’s true; you’re the kind
of person who yearns for freedom from your own contradictions; so do I.
I won’t watch TV “they” can’t hold me. I won’t play their games. Their
dreams of paradise are dinosaurs that stalk my brain, keeping me laughing
at their blind stupidity. I believe in myself. I believe in myself. I make my
own choices; I know what I think.
Everyone’s a Judas selling out for gold; this is your last chance to do as
you are told. You’ve lost your love, you have no solution; you see the end
in your own confusion. Listen to your heart. Listen to your heart.
The voice in your heart is the life force within you, it is light, the hero who
never submits and can never be beaten. In your wildest dreams are you not
the hero, the conqueror of evil and the defender of love? Always live up to
your finest idea of yourself; fight always for light in your heart and you
will become the hero you know you are.
Today and tomorrow are ruptured dreams hanging from a cliff by a
fingernail, the only way to change your fate is to be the hero you know
you are. I am light, the hero. I will save the world. You can trust me, I
speak honestly; I speak from your heart. Listen to your heart, it is your
invisible government.
It’s the government “they” can’t control; it is the voice of the hero. It
speaks the truth in everyone from the baby to the criminal. Welcome your
invisible government It’s the natural truth you feel. Welcome your
invisible government; it's the only one that’s real.
No one denies the need for change, outrage or revolution. You know no
truth but your own. You are the one and only solution. I know that you are

SYNTHESIS
The Philosophy Of All and Everything
326 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
W hen the spark of light in a human Male synthesizes with the spark
of light in a human Female they create, in conception, a new spark
of light that is not the mother and not the father but the synthesis of Male
and Female in one new living human being that represents Male -1 and
Female -0 simultaneously.
Male and Female are disparate energies and contradictory opposites; each
contains the other and evolves into the other. They are equal in value, one
never ending, never beginning, flowing synthesis of All and Everything, a
continuous unified field, a non-dual state of oneness, whole and complete;
one living thing.
Existence is Male -1. Non-Existence is Female -0.
Existence is like a mountain and Non-Existence is like the mountain’s
reflection in a lake. We see them as separate, as we see ourselves, but we
and they are together as one in synthesis.
The sum total of All things of Existence -1, synthesizing with All things of
Non-Existence -0, is All and Everything, one living thing that participates
with no other thing. Therefore, it can do no wrong, and may be called
Almighty, All Good and named God.

THE VAJRA
The Vajra - Thunderbolt of the Enlightened Mind
A symbolic ritual implement of Tibetan Buddhism, the Vajra’s brilliance
illuminates ignorance and reveals Truth, destroying the delusions that
cause all suffering. Known as the Adamantine Scepter of The Diamond
Way, the Vajra represents light so powerful it harmonizes all opposites in
one. It is the unchanging power of light that vanquishes all darkness and
creates light capable of penetrating every thing.
The Vajra is Man’s conscious attempt to impart the underlying unity of all
things and the transcendental nature of the universe and all phenomena. It
represents endless creativity, potency, skillful activity, and the abstract
intuitive nature of the enlightened mind devoid of all the attributes of
phenomenon.
In Tibetan Buddhism the Vajra is held in the right hand symbolizing
wisdom (Male -1) and is paired with the Bell (Ghanda) held in the left
hand, symbolizing compassion (Female -0).
The Vajra and Bell, when crossed across the human chest, symbolize the
unification of wisdom and compassion in synthesis, the fundamental
nature of reality and life itself, where all apparent differences are actually
varying manifestations of one limitless living being of light.
Consider the nature of light itself. What does light mean to you,
externally and internally, physically and psychologically? Write down
all the qualities of light you can think of. These are the qualities of the
hero in you.

THE DAMAGE
TO OUR WORLD
Ask not for whom the bell tolls – it tolls for thee.
JOHN DONNE
F or two thousand years the rich, the Ruling Class and the Ruling
Moneyed Elite have been destroying people and planet for its own
direct profit.
Our attention to what is actually happening to our world gets tossed
around like garbage with so much other garbage information, the damage
our rulers are actually responsible for gets lost and forgotten.
We are brainwashed by politicians, advertising and the mind control of the
psychopathic ruling class, who bludgeon our critical reasoning and make
us feel useless and ineffectual and defeated.
They blame others for the “sins” they have committed against us. They
have confused us and destroyed our hope for the future; they have filled us
with fear. We don’t know what end is up, or what is what. Lost, angered
and mixed up, we are hurting, frightened for our lives and our families.
Amidst our fears and economic uncertainty are the psychopathic
politicians who confused us, sold us out and ruined us. They supposedly
poll our views and feed us their created results, telling us we agree with
their policies to empower them further. Their web of deceit cocoons us,
counteracts our freedom, tramples our rights and disembowels our
opportunities for a good life in the name of corporate global domination.
To protect ourselves from the coming financial and environmental storms,
must we get rich as fast as we can, any way we can? Must we follow the
psychopathic ruling class’ example and crush our friends, neighbors and
colleagues to survive the new terrifying problems we are told we face?
Can we defend ourselves from the onslaught of economic, environmental
and political anarchy being brought on us in the name of the ruling class’
desire to protect us?
You know more trouble is coming; you can feel it in your bones.
Unconsciously, in the heart of you, your intuition tells you there is an ever
growing fear in you consuming your personal peace like a forest fire. Yet
APPENDIX B PSYCHOPATHIC DAMAGE 355
you say nothing, do nothing; you accept everything, and bury your
outrage.
Humanity, concentrating upon the limited area of the known, loses
sight of the effect of his actions upon the limitless area of the unknown
and this shortsightedness is the cause of endless misery. We live in a
moving landscape that we cannot know and cannot control.
MANLY P. HALL
We are moving toward critical mass psychologically and environmentally.
Life on Earth could soon be swallowed up entirely, disappearing under the
continuously escalating matrix of human hubris.
Our global problems, coupled with our national, local, and individual
problems, are happening spontaneously and simultaneously in a
continuous, contiguous relationship with our planet and ourselves.
This is the setting for the ruling class’ global rampage for power, influence
and control. Our planet and its population are little more than a food
source for the ruling class’ insatiable appetite.
The ruling class’ lawless, uninhibited growth contributes to

and uncontrollable rises in food, energy, water and living expenses,

POLITICAL VIOLENCE
Politicians are concerned only with winning. They want to ensure their
own status, wealth and power, hoping their preening self-aggrandizement
will appeal to and satisfy the insatiable greed of psychopathic corporations
that control them.
The public may vote for a candidate, but they always get screwed when
the candidate drops what he promised, toes the party line, and throws in
with the same old party dirty tricks and manipulation. There is nothing in
politics that regular people can fully understand until after the law against
them is in place. They never get the full story on any legislation from their
elected nest-of-vipers government except half-truths and obfuscation
poured over them with smiles and media support for their incoherent,
ridiculous policies that enact shit for the people and wealth for the
wealthy.
Millions of regular citizens, already living in fear of tomorrow, feel a
tangible increase in their fear, pain and frustration constricting their
throats, strangling their goodwill with promises of more financial
hardship, and further increases in suffering for them and their families.
This is indirect political “soft” violence. It is collateral damage caused and
enabled by politicians who are above the laws they create and who render
themselves innocent of any wrongdoing by law, no matter what suffering
their idiotic hurtful laws inflict. They may damage millions of people’s
daily lives and cause them unnecessary long-term suffering in a thousand
ways, but the politicians are free of responsibility for the pain, fear and
damage they repeatedly cause. No matter what indirect political “soft”
violence they perpetrate, if it is protected by some asinine law, politicians
are never penalized for their betrayal of regular people. They are never
forced to be accountable for their actions or examine the truth of what they
have done to America and the American people.
They remain blameless and guiltless for the deliberate and punitive results
of their authoritarian legislation against the rights and welfare of regular
people, in the full knowledge that those political acts will cause millions
of people to be penalized and suffer unavoidably from financial, emotional
and health consequences as a direct result of their corrupt and antisocial
behavior toward their voting public.
Politicians say, “If you don’t like what we are doing, you can always vote
366 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
us out in four years. Until then shut up, do what you are told, and obey the
laws we give you.”
Never satisfied by the laws they pass or the misery and worry they create
and inflict, politicians seek to render the public harmless, obsolete, stupid
and expendable.
Using and abusing the political and lawmaking process of this country on
any level by any politician or political party to satisfy the needs, pressures
and demands of their political funders is a breach of every voter’s
democratic and constitutional rights to live in a free society. If money is
speech, the richest men in the world can determine the course of the lives
of 320 million people whether they like it or not.
Here are examples of the collateral and indirect political “soft” violence
against regular people forced on them by politicians who are enriching
themselves off the backs of the hard-working but powerless public.
1) Removing access to affordable health care from many millions of
regular people.
2) Giving huge tax breaks to absurdly rich individuals and international
global corporations while fifty million Americans are living on or below
the poverty line.
3) Spending trillions of dollars on endless overseas wars and rebuilding
war-destroyed countries, while our country’s infrastructure systems are
falling to pieces.
4) Giving control of public policy and government to corporations against
the Constitution and all those who have put their faith and trust in it is to
surrender the defenseless public to psychopathic, antisocial practices
championed by most every national and global corporation.
5) Ignoring the needs of the homeless, the vets, the seniors and the
weakest members of our society with austerity measures and deprivation
of government help or assistance, is indirect political “soft” violence
against their well-being.
6) Freeing oil companies and industry to increase their production of
climate-destroying oil and pollution at the expense of advances in
alternative energy such as solar and wind power, while exempting them
from or destroying environmental safety regulations in order that big
APPENDIX B PSYCHOPATHIC DAMAGE 367
industry can freely pollute the Earth, destroy the climate, and hasten an
ever-more-devastating and destructive climate force on the unprepared
public.
7) Putting people into a lifetime of debt to pay for the education that they
must have to compete in the workplace is indirect political “soft” violence
against the future of the nation.
8) Rigging elections with gerrymandering, voter suppression lies, big
money and gross political misrepresentation in service of the 1% is
indirect political “soft” violence against the rights and free will of regular
people.
9) Brainwashing and pitting every American against every other American
using racism, religion, fear and fake news so that it atomizes society into
small groups at war with each other as a means of government control.
This is indirect political “soft” violence against the people.
10) Allowing corporations the human right of money as free speech to
buy, control and ruin democratic government, against the expressed will of
every citizen, is indirect political “soft” violence against them.
11) Using blatant injustice to prosecute and put people in jail with plea
deals for minor, nonviolent offenses so they become working corporate
slaves in jail, is indirect political “soft” violence against the rights of
people and frightens them that they to may end up in jail for “nothing.”
12) Manipulating voters with propaganda, corporate advertising and
mainstream media dishonesty to create an “engineered” election result is a
crime against the hearts, minds and critical thinking of all Americans.
13) Causing millions of citizens to live in fear, to feel financially
threatened, scared and stressed out as a result politicians’ lack of empathy,
conscience, compassion and care for their fellow Americans, is indirect
political “soft” violence against the people.
14) Giving freedom to international banks and hedge funds to control or
destroy the economy at will because their actions for huge profits without
responsibility affect and have devastated the economic lives of millions,
putting corporate profit ahead of people’s right to live, is indirect political
“soft” violence against them.
15) Allowing “so-called” evangelical Christian churches and their pastors
368 SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF
to bring their religion and values into the country’s government is against
the strict division of church and state. The prosperity gospel,
gerrymandered Christianity, and harshly “interpreted” Bible laws being
introduced at government level to replace moderate leaders, scientific
thought and fairness for non-believers is a denial of reality of the needs,
wishes and desires of the general public and is indirect political “soft”
violence against their well-being, free will and free thought.
16) Using trillions of taxpayer dollars for preemptive wars against other
countries in the name of freedom and savaging those countries’ human
rights to get control of its resources is a presumptuous ego crime against
that country and is indirect political “soft” violence against the needs and
wishes of the taxpayer.
There are obviously many more reminders of political violence. Our
incompetent and cold-blooded politicians should not be allowed to cause
any kind of indirect political “soft” violence against any people or person
unless they are prepared to serve jail time for it.
If I hit you and you go down you may sue me, report me or forgive me,
but when tens of millions of people with families are kept on low wages,
with no health care and no opportunity for betterment or improvement in
their lives because of a unified political party exercising authority over
them, punishment for their indirect political “soft” violence is necessary.
We must as a country redefine the “violence” and demand punishment for
all indirect political “soft” violence against the people.
If a person strikes another person and causes pain and damage to that
person, he can be prosecuted and jailed. If a politician strikes the
entire population with rushed-through senseless laws that cause pain
and damage to millions of people, they should be prosecuted and
jailed to the fullest extent of the new laws we need to enact fight
against such indirect political “soft” violence.
APPENDIX B PSYCHOPATHIC DAMAGE 369
HIVES OF EVIL
Hives of evil control our religions, our governments, our banks, our
military and our future. They create wars with taxpayer money and
decimate weaker countries to expand their free market. They are rats in the
darkness, eating everything we love. They give us only one guarantee.
Their companies and their affiliates will cause massive pollution, rising
food prices, continuous drought, endless economic pain and a dead planet.
The hives of evil are where executives exercise messiah complexes, their
power plays hidden from view, contriving their psychopathic schemes.
They are predatory and merciless, practicing “economic terrorism”
without compassion, empathy, shame, guilt or remorse. They put silence
in our mouths and keep us on our knees, planning to rid the world of the
“contemptuous vermin” that are the poor and hungry masses. We are being
led confused and unaware like sheep, toward the darkness of extinction.
One day it feels like it’s real bad, but then it's worse the next day.
Will we sit quietly by while the hives of evil turn our world into their
economic killing fields? Their ever-expanding matrix of wealth must
be regulated if we are to survive, before their psychopathic systems
lead Humanity to an early collapse.
