IMMIGRATION 6: “DIM” Spreading a 4 “D” Worldwide Wildfire

  IMMIGRATION 6: “DIM” Spreading a 4 “D” Worldwide Wildfire   Citizens of humanity become aware, prepare and beware: Present ICE activity is a key but small part of a bigger game in play.   While withdrawing from its traditional place, America, not necessarily its citizens, is currently contributing to dismantling the role of key organizations committed to global order and mutual coexistence (The U.N., International Criminal Court, Centers for Human Rights and the Paris agreement on Climate Change). Meanwhile, America seems to have been a testing ground to develop a global D.I.M. (Deportation, Immigration, and Migration); A Manifesto with 4 “D” Articles (Declare, Detain, Deport, Dissolve), currently defining who and what will be considered wasteful, harmful and expendable ( site1 ). Starting with Immigrants and Migrants deemed illegal and/or criminal, people are becoming either part of a magician’s trick (able to make anything disappear and reappear somewhere else...

WILDERNESS: Welcome to the Automated World of Automatons

Image
  Welcome to the Automated World of Automatons   Surviving multiple revisions (1215-25), The Magna Carta’s commitment to outlining the limits of governance and its primary role in assuring the sovereignty of its constituents got imbedded in our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights stressing Freedom to Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness as Unalienable Rights. Stressing the importance of The Civil Rights Movement ; 4 term President F. D. Roosevelt’s 1944 “Second” Economic Bill of Rights added key elements (Employment, Housing, Medical Care, Education, Food, Clothing, Leisure and a Social Security safety net for the elderly and disabled), toward establishing a new level of government responsibility and economic security for all Americans. Considering John Lock (asserting citizen rights to replace dysfunctional governments), he advocated: When the private sector fails to provide the basic needs of the people, government has little recourse but to ...

JESUS FACTOR: BEHOLD! THE SWINGING DOUBLE EDGE SWORD

JESUS FACTOR: BEHOLD! THE SWINGING DOUBLE EDGE SWORD   Religion’s been considered both a liberator from the ball and chain of hopeless despair and the opiate that ties the masses to the ball and chain of dogmatic helpless slavery. Between both there seems to be a double-edged sword sharpened by circumstance, interpretation and choices that can be personal or collective. Where one can be based on strong conviction, the other might be based on a conformity stemming from manipulation, force or the basic human need to belong. Sharp and deeply penetrating with dual potential and authority, a sword can deliver profound healing or absolute judgement. As an intuitive tool it can reveal one’s true thoughts, motives, hidden secrets and falsehoods. As a formidable defensive or offensive weapon, it can hold the fate of humanity accountable. Spiritually, the double-edged sword is a profound biblical metaphor that encapsulates a dynamic and transformative power that challenges indiv...

Immigrant 5: I’m-A-Grunt not a Migrant/Immigrant

Image
  “I’m A Grunt of Humanity” wandering through the outskirts of the “Social Abyss” seeking a place that would embrace my existence and say, “Welcome Home!”  Yet what happens when suddenly forced out of native homeland (for whatever reason), at every door (sought, found, and knocked upon), one is greeted with “We’re presently busy keeping those that are different in their place.” With family and offspring facing the choice to “survive or perish” one has little options but to seek an underground railroad leading to a place professing a land of milk and honey; a land offering immigrants (permanent) and migrants (temporary) opportunities to invest and be more than what’s been left behind; a  land broadcasting "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" at its gate ( The New Colossus ) Thus, although at the initial expense of native inhabitants, its economic dependance on black slavery, its western expansion to become a nation between the Atla...
