I pray that the suffering and oppression of the people of Gaza will end, and that they will somehow overcome. I pray for the children of Gaza, that they no longer will be terrorized by the bombs and guns of the Jewish Supremacists.

I pray that the people of the US, Britain and other nations will wake up from their slumber and come to realize that they have been manipulated and used as fools by the Zionists.

I pray that the Jewish Supremacists somehow come to realize that there are no "chosen people" or "superior races"...and that the lives of non-Jews are just as important as their own, and so they stop causing wars and suffering.

I pray that the worst of the Zionists - such as Perle, Wolfowitz, Kissinger, Ohmert, and Peretz - will be punished by God for their crimes against humanity.

I pray that the US armed forces will leave Iraq, and so the horrors that the Iraqi people are suffering will end, and peace and stability will be restored.

I pray for an END TO ALL RACISM, whether it be Chinese racism against the people of Tibet, or White American racism against African Americans, Irish Catholic racism against Protestants, Scottish racism against English people, White Canadian racism against Native people...
or Jewish racism against Arabs and the rest of humanity.

I pray we all learn to RESPECT each other, realizing our similarities and not hating each other for our differences, so then we can all live in peace.

Thanks, justice seeker!

It is good to hope for the good of everyone and all humanity without exception, we should want for others what we want for ourselves, peace, success etc.

However as you know the reality of the present fractional reserve banking system, fiat currencies, the National Debt, all pervasive State Taxation and the profiteering from war and the military industrial complex...it seems we are 'locked in' to a path of destruction, because some people benefit at the expense of the many.

The many are just "cannon fodder" to be used and abused by the few so that their goals can be achieved.

I think war is necessary to the present regime because the extra money gained through taxation to build war machines makes profits for the power elite, and they can use the money to destroy properties and lives.

If they used the money to look after the poor, better schools, food, hospitals, jobs etc. the fear is that people would lose the motive to work....and the power elite would lose or de-stabalise their own system. They need scarcity, pressure and equal ammounts of escapism and 'entertainment' to keep their system as they like it, with them as billionaires and the rest as their pliable slaves.

"If they used the money to look after the poor, better schools, food, hospitals, jobs etc. the fear is that people would lose the motive to work....and the power elite would lose or de-stabalise their own system."

"Using money" is an interesting phrase since it's not really possible to "use" money to do anything. Really, they are "using" people.

The crux of the matter remains in the mind of those who willingly serve their masters in return for a few bills.

No doubt that some people have no choice whatsoever but to do what they're told just to meet their most basic needs. But, I suspect that a majority of people in America remain willing slaves - literally, buying into the system to maintain their ego, vanity.

Sometimes, they simply don't know why they do it - they just can't imagine anything different.

Mostly as you say it is because it seems 'normal' to be like that...this is what they have been 'taught' by the society around them.

The power elites want control and power, they feel they are 'natural' elites because if they did not do it and manipulate events and create systems which kept them in power and wealth, there would be chaos.

Money and wealth have to be scarce for society to 'work'...if too much money is spent on welfare programs which genuinly bring benefits to people....people will lose the motive to get up and go to work, and struggle to pay bills.

So money is kept scarce by producing million dollar missiles which can be used to destroy infrasrtucture and kill and make profits for the elites.

However there is a alternative it is just that the elites do not want it and would not like the rest of us to live by it.

1) reject the elite system, its values, fiat money, central banking, the state, national debts, taxation, and 'communism'.

2) Gold and Silver currencies, strong families and kinship ties, guilds, crafts and industries and proper laws preventing corporate power and state power from arising.

The results will be money will remain stable, it will circulate and not concentrate among the rich, money will remain within the community...it will not be accumilated to create war industries, there will be mutually beneficial trade where both parties to a transaction are 'free'. Currently one party is powerful due to cartels and monopolies etc.

But, where do we start and how do we make it happen?

There used to be a commentator (who has since stopped frequenting the site or at least stopped commenting) who would insist that the fire (madness) had to burn itself out and that we would only know that we won when we found ourselves standing on the ashes of civilization as we know it.

I am beginning to wonder if he was not right.
