In the land of limbo live the unloved….

 

Another day passes us by with some good intentions still clinging to the days menu. I’m a CD, and I’ve been this way for more then 20 years and straddled the line between gay and straight.  For all those years I’ve been neither really. I can embrace a woman as I can a man. I feel no human differences between them; just the sweet smell of the other person s scent and the fragrant ‘s of the places they have passed through before arriving here.  We are empty in our souls and connections despite all the available social media we have at our disposal.  All worthless really as none of this really guides the affairs of the heart .  What to do, with lost children.  US! Where have we let slip the thread that if followed would lead us back home again.  As a CD I fully have embraced the powers of the woman, her strength, her resolve and her duty are beacons from the shore for those non-adventurers, seeking solely safe passage to the other world.  In the time allowed them, they have found purpose, contentedness, varying degrees of harmony but I, tortured by all this mass means of destructive insanity, sit alone in the ravenous cavernous of self destruction…and I in a voice so low that my breath barley registers, as it is so gripped with fear, remains mute. Then in that special reserved nano second, between creation and extinction, I hear the oceans of time wash upon us, delivering us from yet one more cosmic plight as I shudder nervously on the shores of extinction.

And then, up from despair, I stop, I breath, I resolve to be here tomorrow to meet the challenges of yet another day. I look at the faces of humanity, vibrant, alert, determined. I scan those seated, around me, their eyes unfocused, cloudy, drifting aimlessly and in this instant I see it all in a flash, the spark, the golden torch of the god Zeus cruising to earth from an immeasurable distance and speed through time and space and opening up the universe again to me to absorb these flights of fancy that man has advanced and redefine the miracle of flight.  To soar not to flee.

Scanning the room, I seek out one face, two eyes, a soft smile, a whispered prayer, eyes locked again in desperate resolve, wisps of sun drenched hair framing that wondrous round face framed between two glowing cheeks that only speak of perfection. World’s disintegrated before me but our eyes were locked in a oneness and unity I had received yet only other time.  Time paused, as it has a want to for lovers.  The silence of complete surrender enveloped the two us as we dissolved transparently into one another.  This so simple an act of richness and empowerment had altered our being, our consciousness, our lives, our future and the future lives of those who will come after us.  Loneliness, a constant companion, skulked off towards the kitchen replaced by light, joy, celebration, a new life, a new world and love…  the great game changer, the most sought after and coveted commodity in the universe had taken me home again.  I am blessed as we both sat there transfixed by out meeting seemly so random yet so predicable.  Words, voices, sounds, slowly faded into the ether mutated and unnoticed, return… for when love awakens in one the love of self, the love off another, the love of all things living and transmuted, then nothing in the universe can challenge the greatness nor the unanimity that the power of love can bestow on lovers.

As the days mark the passage of time by their endless march to eternity, my eyes always alert and alive scan the faces before me in the off chance that an event such as this would bless me yet again.  One can dream, one can hope, and in the interim, one can surrender to the joy’s of life and living, that love would enter back in my life once again and the legends of loneliness that had shadowed my life would one day be lifted yet again and that she, the mother of us all, will ever so lightly and effortlessly merge back into our hearts to heal and restore our, faith, our hope our trust and our beliefs stilled pinned somewhere on a somewhat tainted sign post which reads…”Love conquers all….if you let it”

Ignorance as a commodity…

Is ignorance such a coveted commodity in this country that we we will shield and protect it at all costs. That we will bow down to whomever seems to expound what seems to pass as a rational thought at the moment, only to find out later that it has been manipulated and skewered to reinforce the belief systems and propaganda being regurgitated by the power elite of this country to maintain control. This is not a political struggle, this is a humanitarian call to arms to protect what is rightfully ours, this planet, this air we breath, this dwindling drinkable water supply we cherish and require for life. We are 7 billion strong and this is our world and like it or not, we will take it back from the users, the profiteers, the abusers of human rights, the greed of corporations whose bottom line is profits before people.  So be warned and be aware that nothing can stop an idea whose time has finally come…. Our Arab Spring is upon us….Occupy or be occupied! Time has come today!

Why Capitalism wanted the fall of Gadaafi…

October 24, 2011 – Someone sent this to me. I thought it was interesting. This is how we turn a prosperous country into a third world country. One can see why Capitalism was against all of these items. 16 Things that Libya Will Never See Again. October 24, 2011

1. There was no electricity bill in Libya; electricity was free for all its citizens.

2. There was no interest on loans, banks in Libya were state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at zero percent interest by law.

3. Having a home was considered a human right in Libya.

4. All newlyweds in Libya use to receive $60,000 dinar (U.S.$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.

5. Education and medical treatments were free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25 percent of Libyans were literate. Today, the figure is 83 percent.

6. If Libyans wanted to take up farming career, they would have received farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kickstart their farms… all for free.

7. If Libyans could not find the education or medical facilities they needed, the government funded them to go abroad. For it was not only paid for, but they got a U.S.$2,300/month for accommodation and car allowance.

8. If a Libyan bought a car, the government used to subsidized 50 percent of the price.

9. The price of petrol in Libya was $0.14 per liter.

10. Libya had no external debt and its reserves amounted to $150 billion -which are now frozen globally.

11. If a Libyan was unable to get employment after graduation, the state would pay the average salary of the profession, as if he or she was employed, until employment was found.

12. A portion of every Libyan oil sale was credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.

13. A mother who gave birth to a child receive U.S. $5,000.

14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya used to cost $0.15.

15. 25 percent of Libyans have a university degree.

16. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Manmade River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country.

On the Making of the Occupy documentary

In years to come, no matter the outcome, our heirs to this planet, our children & our children’s children, will look back at these tapes with pride, that we the people, their parents & grandparents alike, stood up for our and their rights, did not flinch in the face of adversity, took the blows willing from the minions of oppression, who would enslave us, repress us, destroy us, and carried forth the banner of freedom which this country represents, and fought for liberty & justice for all.

Comment on the flash mob at Justin Herman Plaza Occupy SF

After reading about 20 or 30 posts here…we sure have a long way to go… light years really…  most of the comments were  jaded, cynical, sometimes hateful and insulting, which seemed to pervade and overshadow the intent of this video be it staged or not… I’m 69, been through the 60′s, student revolt in Paris in 68, Chicago “the whole world is watching” in 69, through the “me” generation in the 80′s, the greed of the 90′s and the past 10 years…. and still…still within me beats a heart open to hope and change.   I guess I’m just an old revolutionary idealist who thinks…no matter how a positive thought is expressed…it’s a good thought.  Lighten up people, embrace the moment and save your criticism and cynicism for the things that are really wrong.  It’s just a video!  Embrace someone!  It really feels good to lower your guard and let someone in.  No matter how old you are.  Occupy your heart!

the flip;flopper…

I love the anti-growth and anti-maturity mode that people adopt.  You said this at 20 and you”flip-flopped” at age 40.  As if realization, introspection, consciousness, awareness, wisdom acquired and time passed  were somehow a sign of indecision and weakness as in..”make up your mind!”.  We see this a lot in the clown debates taking place.  As change is a constant, it’s OK to change ones mind when presented with facts, new information or any of the things listed above.  Perhaps if we stopped blaming the left or the right and started going straight for a change…we might get somewhere.  What was then 40 years later is not now.  Get off the past and embrace the present.  You can;t change what was but you can learn from it and tomorrow we might not even be around, so all we really have is the now.  Live the moment!

“The Protester” named persona of the year….

Change in any form is never welcomed by everyone.  However, change is inevitable, necessary and part of an evolutionary process which addresses, a system in place, questions it’s validity, and seeks to correct its deficiencies and repair its short comings.  This is a good thing.  It strengthens the system,  makes it better, renews and revitalizes it, and rights the wrongs of the few against the many as in the case of the Arab spring and the budding occupy movement in this country.  The occupy movement has brought forth questions which no politician has asked and asked for solutions which no one has offered.  This ragtag group of idealists called Occupy have initiated a dialog in this country which is long over due.  Yes, the motives may seem scattered, the process disorganized, the participants directionless and the rhetoric ill defined, but it has produce several solid facts.  Our system is corrupt, greed runs rampant, immorality for some has become a way of doing business and we on the verge of a global economic collapse never seen before.  This  Occupy movement, created and driven by the inheritors of the future, is breeding a new consciousness.  More a humanitarian then a political movement, it has sparked hope a midst despair, passion where futility once ruled and addressed the wrongs, which have for too long been ignored with new ideas.  So kudo’s and thanks to all those who carry this banner throughout the world.  Time has come today……

On the creation of the Occupy 99% film being made to portray the birth of the movement…

 

Of course film making has always been a collaborative effort…this brings it all home…very much like the multi-film makers contribution…very much like the Scott’s film “Life in a day”.

http://www.youtube.com/lifeinaday?feature=etp-gs-lif-00

But the OWS is a multi-facted film in many parts – as the movement flourishes, grows and evolves …Part I in and of itself: “The birth of the movement” has such a rich plethora of topics, footage, emotional moments, declarations and achievements that define this “humanitarian and consciousness raising movement” that it is very much the most recorded and photographed important event of the century. From its roots that began in Tunisia to the recent general strike in closing the ports on the west coast, it expands the consciousness by its message that change is possible, and people can initiate change. An Island of hope and possibilities in a sea of pessimistic futility. I look forward to watch this project evolve and hopefully stay true to the ideology that sparked this global call to action.

It’s time too …

It’s time too attack the banks where they live.  INTEREST & FEES!  This is their major revenue stream.  Time to get Americans to say “no more”.  Time to tell the banks, lower your interest rate for a 1 year period to 6% across the board, or we will no longer pay into the credit card debt.  This will  give the credit card holders breathing room from the crushing tsunami of interest payments and allow for what is paid into the banks as interest payments and penalty fees to be used to stimulate the economy by creating more buying power for the middle class.  Conditions”  upon resumption of payment on credit cards at the 6% interest rate, no penalty fees of any kind will be levied against those who have opted for the “non-pay” credit card strike option.  Once again, numbers are the key to making this credit card strike work. Imagine 1,000,000 people opting for the “non-pay” credit card strike.  Imagine 10 million???  How long will the banks be able to hold out before this drying up of their lucrative revenue stream begins to seriously  affect them.  Recently B of A paid out a $410 million dollar claim for bogus over draft fees charged to it’s ATM customers.  That was nothing.  The profit that B of A  made from those overdraft fees of $35.00  was 4.5 Billion dollars from 13.2 million customers.  Penalty fees and Interest on debt are a huge piece of the banks revenue stream.  Let’s hurt them where they hurt us and stage a ”non-pay” credit card strike in the beginning of 2112.

 
We have the numbers, we have the power, we are the 99%, we are the people… time has come today to fight back at the people who brought on this financial crisis in the interest of profit and greed.
