True Peace: a poem
Human Paradox
Q: Is the divisive nature of humankind inherent in the need, as an individual, to be self-identified?
Q: Is the formation of human groups derived from the ability and/or want to locate with others of humankind perceived to retain the same self-identifiable values/qualities?
Q: Is the inherent need to be self-identifiable, as an individual or group comprised of those perceived to retain the same identifiable values/qualities, a precursor to conflict instigated by the competition of one individual/group’s values/qualities versus those of another individual/group’s?
Q: If the answers to these questions are `YES’; would it not be logical to ask:
Is conflict an inherent component of humankind?
Paradox:
Progress and advancement of the human condition: the desire to outdo and/or surpass the proven values/qualities of they/that, who/which presently dominate, is derived from the influence of competition.
Competition is readily identified as a root cause of conflict from individual, hand to hand battles to nation versus nation in combat of war.
The Paradox: Competition advances humankind at the cost of ceaseless conflict
Conclusion:
To eradicate conflict is to eradicate competition derived by eliminating the need/want to be self-identifiable, an inherent quality of humankind.
The ultimate conclusion:
Conflict is an inherent component of Humankind and will Never be eradicated out of the need to be self-identified either as individual and/or group.
Fabric Of Dreams
(Interpret the following in the context of your choosing; a challenge to its meaning)
The walls of confinement are real
Not the kind that are meant to feel
But to their prisoner, the deal
A mind’s creation, to hide, or conceal?
What a lonely life is here led
No more emotions left to be bled
Into a dark abyss consigned – defeated
Is hopelessness here to be conceded?
Observing eyes shut to what’s seen
Presuming all goodness and serene
Not to tamper with illusion-dream
Is all the pain as real as it seems?
A mind’s creation, to hide, or conceal?
Is hopelessness here to be conceded?
Is all the pain as real as it seems?
Answers lie in the fabric of dreams.
Lore’s Truths Hidden
Each generation to human creation dilutes meaning to experience;
History etched in text accounting for pain, blood and life lost
Fade, obliterated from present minds’ tangible suffering
Only to be relived, re-enacted and resolved to be unique,
Yielding but another, duplication, to historical records’ accounting.
What manifestation need arrive to dissolve this endless cycle
Of seemingly pointless toil; to render permanent solution;
Elimination of permanent state of sufferance by the many
Whose wish goal is to purely reside harmoniously; in peaceful
Collaborative purpose and mutual enjoyment of prosperity?
For those with whom resides the mind to seek it,
Telling truths, hidden in ancient lore; wisdom is to be found.
Words that speak not only to the past but, to days yet to come.
Though failing to heed the messages’ veracity to experience lived,
Is reason sure, world peace, yet again, stands to become undone.
HOW CORRUPT CAN IT GET?
OFFICIAL LIE IN THE MAKING
To anyone with a concerted interest in international events that shape our daily lives, the revelations brought to public attention from the likes of Julien Assange, Edward Snowden have served to enlighten global citizens to the level of corruption, graft and incompetence of those whom have been elected to represent our interests. Unfortunately, what has been disclosed most recently by Al Jazeera News only amplifies the seriousness of these revelations.
A journalistic investigation stemming from digital leak of cables originating from the South African intelligence organization gain the world an insight to the political conjuring and coercion of rival leaders within the Middle East and the seemingly purposeful effort by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to thwart the United States – Iran nuclear negotiations with sole effort; to incite an atmosphere of conflict and threat of war.
The Al Jazeera disclosure titled SPY CABLES, clearly shows how Netanyahu in his 2012 address to the United Nations mislead the world on the state of Iran’s nuclear program and stage of uranium enrichment. A position to date, though having been informed otherwise by his own intelligence agency MOSSAD, not to be either accurate nor true, he has not recanted.
What is becoming increasingly evident by the `illegal’ disclosures of all that is hidden by world leaders from `WE THE PEOPLE’ under the umbrella of `national security’ is directly responsible for the death of literally millions of innocent lives, displacement and hardship of countless millions more and, the expenditure of trillions of taxpayer funds. And for what?
These critical, timely exposures communicate leadership of the world in the hands of a few heads-of-state, the United Nations and like bodies, can no longer be taken at their word. The issue of credibility of any statement by ANY government official regardless of nationality, CAN NO LONGER BE TAKEN AS CREDIBLE OR TRUE without due-prudence by an arms-length body. A body presently by default, has fallen to government officials or employees of conscience to leak hidden information i.e., whistleblowers and, by investigative journalist and documentarians. Simply put: those whom nati\oanal political leaders make every effort to find and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. And, stemming from the revelations being brought to light, it is clear why!
The only remaining question: HOW CORRUPT CAN WE LET IT GET, before we find a way to take back our World?

Ukraine and Global War potential
In a recent News article, the Ukraine Ambassador to Canada is requesting Canada’s assistance for possible full-scale war with Russia, a nuclear state.
It is highly recommended that the following article posted on Sott.net be read to shed some insight to what may be motivating the aggression taking place in the Ukraine:
Ukraine crisis highlights the failures of Western civilization
War party bigotry and hate may be enough to drive neo-Nazis leading Kiev in the Ukraine civil war. But the reverse blame of Putin and Russia by corporate media and states has a deeper interest. It propels the geostrategic economic and military war of movement through East Europe to Russia. It is the indispensible big lie to mask their set up for foreign financial predation. A big pay-off matrix looms in Ukraine for US-led arms corporations and military services, agribusiness and GMO’s, speculator funds on debts and currency, monopoly providers of privatized social services, Big Oil frackers for newly discovered rich deposits, junk food suppliers like Poroshenko in US-frankenfood alliance, and – last but not least – the IMF money party waging a war of dispossession by financial means.
The IMF enforces the global money-sequence cancer system by its defining policy commands on debt-impoverished countries to open them up to foreign feeding on their domestic markets and fire-sale enterprises, drastically reduced workers’ wages and benefits, stripped public pensions, healthcare and education, sell-off of historic infrastructures to pay ever more bank-created debts, and – in general- multiplying transnational money demand and profit invading their life functions at all levels. The IMF and Wall Street have been cumulatively hollowing out Africa, Latin America, South-East Asia, South Europe and the US itself in these ways over 35 years. Now it is the turn of the once social democratic Europe, state by state, beginning with the most indebted and helpless. Ukraine on the outskirts of Europe next to Russia is where the military option has been required to strip it and its former Slavic economic union with Russia. This historic relationship has been the last line of life defence in the way, a conservative but sharing ethos of resource-rich societies with Putin as a superior leader facing the US-EU’s many-times more powerful economic levers and lethal arms to bully him and Russia into submission.
To take the naturally rich Ukraine for transnational bank and corporate looting, the public must be sold the story of Putin as the villain. Only then can debt screws be applied and the country opened to long-term and full-spectrum financial, foreign and oligarch control beneath the people’s notice. The IMF is already in motion to ensure that the Kiev coup state provides all of this. Few observe the underlying fact that the crushing bank debt eating societies alive across the world is all debt money created by big private banks with no legal tender to back 97% of it. Ukraine is the latest nation to fall into the deadly trap without a sound. Here public money for public need is ended, although it created the US itself. As Ben Franklin has testified, to regain public money issue was the prime reason for the American Revolution. Public banking was also what made modern Canada from 1938 to 1974 by public investment money without private debt-servicing loaned by the public Bank of Canada for construction of Canada’s material and social infrastructures from the St Lawrence Seaway to public pensions and universal healthcare.
The same is true of almost every society that has economically succeeded in the modern world. . The Depression and the War especially taught the world’s real leaders something about public banking as the only thing that works for real social development. Germany in peace, China, India, Japan in their most prosperous periods have all relied on public investment banking in some form. But the Wall Street counter-revolution happened invisibly in 1974 by Bank of International Settlements policy to stop governments from lending their own money for their public investments – the BIS being a coterie of bank heads meeting in Switzerland led by Wall Street bankers and with no accountability to any public interest or body. On the contrary, against their constitutional rights, all governments have been made accountable to the Wall Street system which runs the US Treasury and the IMF by the revolving door method. This silent BIS policy destroyed public investment free of the self-multiplying debt charges now eating away at every level of the Western economy including sovereign public investment. Ukraine, with few noticing, has just been privatized at the bank debt and investment level by the US-led coup state. Its arrangements with the IMF now loaning money on Wall Street permanent debt-servicing terms have replaced the $20 billion it had from Russia on payable public terms along with 30% cut-rate oil and gas.
This most far-reaching change of all has been erased from view by the official story – the delivery of Ukraine by the US-led coup into the ever-devouring funnels of the Wall-Street-and-company private banking system. With all the permanent new debt servicing of an already broken country spending its future debt on fighting a US-manufactured civil war fueled by neo-Nazi war thugs, Ukraine will be bled dry. A revealing example of how IMF debt bondage leverages transnational corporate control of Ukraine’s greatest resources is the new IMF $17 billion loan on the condition that Ukraine opens up its peerless vast stretches of black soil and fertile lands to the biotech cycles of Monsanto, Dupont, Deere and factory looting of the earth. Similar plans are also in motion for Big Oil racking of Ukraine’s large newly discovered gas deposits (fracking is prohibited in Russia).
The transnational corporate and bank looting of Ukraine is the shadow reason for the US block against any reasonable truce in the civil war that it has created. This is why a jackal government like Canada’s Harper’s refuses to respond to any diplomatic correspondence from Russia, blocking information flows, and proclaiming inflammatory falsehoods. The profound common life interests at stake are exactly what the war party is out to make impossible to act on. Ukraine is a prime agricultural land source of the world and Europe’s biggest landmass, and it is set for US-EU financial and corporate takeover. Ukraine is also facing the same ultimate crisis as every country and people – its government being mutated into a corporate satrap to ensure the country as an unlimited profit site at least costs and accountability for foreign corporate and local oligarch profit. It is a paradigm case of the carcinomic global dispossession that knows no growth but its own. But it is also the leading current case of armed resistance against this takeover. Donbas, Putin and Russia are alone in stopping the life-devouring system’s advance East, with Syriza in Greece the newly elected resistance within Europe.
All face the same stripping of collective life capital bases to grow the global money sequences of the apical few with no life function. Ukraine is the new major feeding zone opening towards Russia. Here as much as Greece, public assets are on the privatization block. Slash-and-burn budgets are set to service new unpayable debts to foreign banks, with far more rich natural and soil wealth to marketize and expropriate for debt servicing. Ukraine also has large and untapped fossil-fuel deposits, and it provides new strategic military control up to Russia’s main border and colossally rich natural resources on the other side.
Yet the operation of reverse blame goes from Iraq to Libya to Syria to Ukraine to Russia in one society destruction to the next. With one-way pervasive media abuse, cumulatively destructive sanctions, and incremental arming of neo-fascist-led Ukrainian forces, vast global power, treasure and most of all direction are at stake which affect all humanity. The line is drawn on the global disorder’s runaway aggression and trail of social ruin. Or it is stopped by intelligent mass resistance that does not let up.
This resistance has grown stronger. A new truce was formed for February 15 by the EU, Kiev-Ukraine and Russia for this reason. Predictably all voices of the official story warn that “Russia and the separatists” will not obey its terms. Yet when we examine the record of international law and agreements, life-protective promises and agreements, who always overrides them at will? The track record tells us very plainly, but the record is always excluded from the ruling story. What is presupposed instead is the most inane of all moral equations unconsciously assumed as first principle of judgement in international affairs: the US = Good and its Enemy = Evil.Search for any exception to this inner logic of the official narrative in any major conflict across the globe in 50 years. What is never stated are the actual facts of “lawless aggression”, “gross violations of international law” and “innocent civilians terrorized and murdered”. That the US is by far the knock-down leader on all counts of war crime, killing, terror and, in general, violence against human life of every kind is taboo to understand. While always accusing others of violating “the international laws and norms of the community of nations”, it repudiates and sabotages them without evident exception.
Consider the systemic violations and subversions across the spectrum. The US government has refused to ratify the International Criminal Court to uphold the law against war crimes and crimes against humanity, and it has publicly repudiated the Court’s right to investigate US criminal violations including the “supreme crime” of initiating a war of aggression. While it perpetually invokes international laws to accuse others, it repudiates any life-protective law whatever in its actions. In truth, the US (and its key ally Israel) has systematically undermined virtually all international laws to protect human life – treaties and conventions against landmines, against biological weapons, against international ballistic missiles, against small arms, against torture, against racism, against arbitrary seizure and imprisonment, against military weather distortions, against biodiversity loss, against climate destabilization, and even international agreements on the rights of children and of women.
The big-lie system runs to the moral DNA of the US state. Its record of continual war crimes and crimes against humanity by direct or proxy violation should be foremost in the minds of those observing what happens next in Ukraine. It can only continue if NATO-country public opinion does not join the dots in the ultimate failure of Western civilization.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
GOD BLESS AMERICA: the insight to criminality of the United States government through its national and foreign policy initiatives enacted in response to September 11th , 2001, (9-11) the world-altering events in direct reaction to its global assault on terrorism and, its failing to bring to justice those whom, within its jurisdiction, have committed acts of criminality warranting investigation and prosecution by the International Criminal Court; would suggest even the goodness of God the United States holds itself accountable to, would be ashamed to give His blessing.
SILENCED: A WAR ON WHISTLE BLOWERS: This compelling and disturbing documentary by the Passionate Eye is a revealing and disturbing look into the lives of three high-profile American whistle-blowers; their story of persecution and betrayal by the system of government they were a participant and believed in and, documenting and disclosure of illegal and criminal actions executed by United States National Security including the National Security Agency (N.S.A); the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) and, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) in direct response to September 11, 2001; information believed responsibility of true patriots to the State even given the self-sacrifice they undertook to bring this to broader public awareness.
Not only is this tragic story relevant to citizens of the United States whom, individually are responsible for the carnage of war arguably, illegally, instigated and inflicted on many parts of the globe since 9-11 but too, all citizens to countries such as Canada, Great Britain, nations of the European Union in-short: COALITION OF THE WILLING as euphemistically coined by George W. Bush in his ill-informed haste to inflict suffering on parts of the world he likely knew little about yet, was equally quick to define as part of an AXIS OF EVIL intent on destroying democracy around the world.
Fifteen years hence, the world is rife with conflict ALL again arguably, as a direct response to events of 9-11. The insight provided by these three admirable, selfless individuals portrayed in this important and compelling expose’ serves as notice to every global citizen: our elected government officials are not beyond corruption and, illustrates fully the demonstrative lengths the policy-makers within the System of Establishment will pursue in and out-of-bounds of national laws to protect their self-interests and, willingness to destroy the economic lives of those willing to expose such illegalities.
The Passionate Eye: SILENCED: A WAR ON WHISTLE BLOWERS: Watch it!
A growing yet, somewhat understated concern, is the burgeoning global debt levels since the collapse of global economies of 2007-08; the affects of which is still evident today.
The alarm-bells of warning are slowly growing louder. Increases in the debt to earnings ratios at all levels of many major world economies i.e., retail consumer debt to national debt, are in the opinion of some eminent world economist, beyond acceptable levels, raising a growing concern for another, potential global economic collapse. One exacerbated by the sudden drop in global oil price and the increased international tensions stemming from conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.
Recent Business reports from respected News sources intent on raising the alarm to this disastrous potential:
a) From the Canadian Broadcast Corp. (CBC) business reporter Amanda Lange: Global debt is growing — and Canada’s household debt is worse than most, McKinsey says The myth that the world is paying down debt isn’t true, Amanda Lang says. That’s bad news for Canadians
Link full report: http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/global-debt-is-growing-and-canada-s-household-debt-is-worse-than-most-mckinsey-says-1.2946750
b) From The Guardian: Another economic crash is coming. How did this happen? Renegade Economist
c) Thom Hartman Program The Banksters are now Setting up The Crash of 2016
It behoves every individual to re-evaluate their personal financial situation in light of this very strong potential for a second economic collapse to occur. The recent lowering of the lending prime-rate by the Bank of Canada and projection of a further reduction in the Spring, 2015 may seem to counter the projections fostered by these referenced reports. However, as the old motto goes: `better to be safe than sorry’ would be most appropriate given the circumstances.
Cause Célèbre
With trenchant words, raising of symbolic clenched fist;
Calling for others of conscience, to readily enlist;
To stir and fight against mounting, shackling flaws;
Of imposed servitude beneath burden of legislated laws.
Laws conspired by those whom have assumed control;
Enacted by electoral minions whose soul they’ve stole;
Their devious, social, global plan long ago contrived;
For dominance of power through wealth, kept, eternally alive.
This fallacy of dominance held, can no longer be sustained;
Increasing numbers of humanity are unwilling to be gamed;
Ancient tools for control employed over centuries past,
Are no longer effective, their time to end has come at last.
Exposure to hidden knowledge has unlocked the shackles;
No longer is humanity willing to be treated as wealth’s chattel;
Society’s undoing will be this 21st century `cause célèbre’;
A period those whom now reign, will come to dread.
Proclivity
Tags: awareness, civilization, commentary, conflict, content, generations, history, human nature, inspiration, Internet, intiution, love, media, News, peace, proclivity, technology, truth, war
Locked away in the mind’s darkness cave,
Left to manifest thoughts outwardly brave
Though, when spoken, the conflicted do rave;
Challenging wisdom’s retreat, to save.
History’s pattern unwittingly resolves
Into depths of forgetfulness to dissolve;
Leaving pain and suffering itself to solve;
To once again, like a clock wound, revolve.
Human nature, a questionable ally or foe,
An intuitiveness’ retarded flow,
A once thought `truth’, to bind and know
Yet, it’s truth’s blindness that does grow.
Giving reason to this proclivity to discern;
Having spent millennia endeavoring to learn
Yet, humankind, seemingly, more resolute to spurn
And, for it; civilization, as in past, does ultimately burn.
