Nuclear Free World
Satyagraha
Grasp this truth. Most of your life will be spent on the edge of your chair, waiting for the next Nuke to go off.
I grew up thinking that in school. Any day can be the last day. The teachers used that to program the examined life. They wanted it to be immediate, not some distant moral question about thievery or the right to own property. Right now, are you ready to meet your Goddess?
If you know what that feels like, let me ask you this. Does it feel right now like a Nuke could go off? Or is it that we’re on the edge of a revolution?
The beauty of truth is that it washes through consciousness like a fresh cleansing breeze, lifting a diaphanous veil. Everything is as before, since the veil is translucent, but the view now is crisp and clear.
No, I don’t want to live with a Nuke, not mine, not yours, not anybodies.
Isn’t that the point of the NPT? To get rid of the Nukes?
The Israelis are doing to themselves what they hated the Nazis for doing. The Nazis isolated them behind barbed wire and concrete walls, as the first step. The Israelis think that isolating themselves will make them secure, and not lead to another step. Truly this is a disconnect between the past and the present, between reality and fiction. Safety behind walls ended with the siege of Jericho.
Erecting barricades is a futile act of a disturbed people fulfilling the prophecy of Armageddon through politics. The enemy is within the walls, acting out a passion spiel.
Will this war in Iraq seem like a mistake when the entire news hour with Jim Lehrer is devoted to the faces, in silent review, of United States Soldiers lost to attrition? Or will it seem like mistaken policy when only twenty minutes is devoted to that slow motion slide show?
The realpolitik of National Violence against the disenfranchised, the confused and the mistaken can only be realized as failed policy at the grave sites of the innocent. There is no glory in killing the dispossessed, the misguided and the ignorant.
You can’t hug your enemy with Nuclear Arms. Embracing those that worship the gods of war comes at a risk. Not embracing them is a recipe for disaster.
If Libya can forswear WMD, what does that say about them, and about US?
Feeding North Korea is the best step we can take to embrace their humanity. 60 tons of food is a good first step.........
