New Slaves for the New Global Economy Part 12: JESUS VS CHRISTMAS


Beware fellow Automatons! Christmas is here and you have been programed to spend; to bailout the industries that count on making ¼ of their annual profits in the name of Jesus. In return, you’ll gain the opportunity to bare the Christian cross and crown of thorns: Credit Card Debt in the name of Jesus Christ (J.C.) while losing the essence of the day. J.C. is not only a symbol that points to eternal life, but an opportunity to be a citizen of UTOPIA – HEAVEN ON EARTH! And note! One way or the other, we are moving toward a one world order: An order stating trust government, not God – instilled by force and not by faith filled choice.

J.C. is a precious gift offered not just to reconcile our relationship back with God but with our neighbors as well. Yet the economics of Christmas has become the important thing to consider. It’s a high-volume selling season full of purchasing cards, gifts, decorations, cloths and all sorts of supplies. The buying surge even offers seasonal employment opportunities to meet consumption demands. 2024 expects $960 billion in U.S. spending, with African Americans and Hispanics toppling the list (Howard University), with a dramatic increase in cyber sales and deals which was dramatically threatened by the Long Shormans strike. Point! Christmas is the largest economic stimulus around the world! Yet is it the birth of J.C. or the gift giving nature of St Nick (who climbed down chimneys to put gold coins in the socks of the poor) that is being celebrated? But is it the birth or the life of the man who said “what you’ve seen me do you can also because I go to the FATHER on your behalf” that we should remember and embrace?

Across the span of space and time, J.C. has marveled Historians, Philosophers and World Leaders to the point of impacting human rights, education, science, and the individual endeavors of great poets, artists, composers and heroes like Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa. The Hindu Gandhi had much to say about J.C. and applied such things as the sermon on the mount to his own thoughts. And even if Muhammad is regarded most influential, even Muslims revere Jesus the great prophet. Some have gone as far as saying J.C. wasn’t crucified but assassinated for his threat to the religious, political, and economic circumstances of his time. Yet all the while, according to the Gallup Poles, Christianity in the U.S.  is on a steady decline: Church attendance has dropped across all Christian groups. So go ahead, eat, drink, and merrily exchange gifts among each other. But remember, the wisemen brought gifts to Jesus. What gifts are you bringing to his alter where mercy and grace await us all.

If the birth of Christ need be celebrated, let it be for his birth in us - Daily! It’s about Christ - Not Xmas (an effort between emperor Constantine and the church to combat the celebrated birth of the pagan Gods)! J.C. is the flame of God that dwells in the spirit of man – the breath of life that visited us in bodily form and action to show us the truth, light, and way to a better life. Fellow Automatons do remember: Believers and followers of J.C. are in the world but not of it. So render to Ceasar what belongs to Ceaser and to God what belongs to God!

A Prophesy Fulfilled

 

There they stood, the blind that saw

The deaf that heard

And the crippled legs that walked

Where others could but would not dare

To brave.

Where mind to press beyond confines

Where heart to burden all to feel

Where soul to fly unfathomed heights …

Have not’s among the haves

That cling to things

That bind and chain their soul

Beneath life’s ever passing waves

Beneath the sands of time

Beneath what man was meant

To reach, to teach, to keep … A Prophesy Alive

No need to wonder why

So many in divide, survive

So many in divide, find compromise

So many in divide, must die

By misguided swords and shields

That yield the devastating blows

On those that would not bend or rend

Their choice to fight the economic race

That beckons them to chase each others lives

To take and take and take until erased

Alternatives that could in-deed

Bring every act beyond the creed of greed.

Where to agree would bring

The sound of Peace and Love to all

Were tossed aside – the FEAR

Were tossed aside – the HATE

Were tossed aside – the SHAME

That fans the flames of anger and despair,

That comes to simply disagree.

And yet there they stood - There they stand

The blind that saw

The deaf that heard

And the crippled legs that walked

Where others could but would not dare

To brave - to sacrifice it all to be

What man was meant to reach, to teach, to keep

A Prophesy Fulfilled

July/August Article: Crime, Punishment and Just-U.S.

Image
  Crime, Punishment and Just-U.S . (part 1 of 2) How ironic! While preparing to celebrate Independence Day, America owns the world’s highest prison rate (2.12 million incarcerated with 21% of them unsentenced), has “permanently” striped 5 million citizens of their voting rights, created private/for profit prison opportunities, offers select companies’ contracts for inmate daily essentials (e.g. toothpaste, underwear, cloths, shoes), manipulates both the census count and its fund allocations (N.Y.C. inmates become cheap laborers and are counted as residents of the prisons town).   But, with a 500% crime increase over 40 years, incarceration is not an effective means of achieving public safety. “The broad effects which can be obtained by punishment in man are the increase of fear, the sharpening of the sense for cunning, and the mastery of achieving unmet desire (Nietzsche); therefore, punishment can tame/break a man, but does not make him better (hearted)." So “Laws and in...

New Slaves for the New Global Economy Part 9. Joining the Rank and File

  New Slaves for the New Global Economy Part 9.  Joining the Rank and File  Praise the Lord, Halle-leu, just don’t care what the devils gonna do. The new automatons are back in school, and the parental batons are getting passed on. September is here and it’s back to where the automaton assembly line awaits . Its linear, rote learning process (mandatory daily recitals) is ready to provide rewards for the best parrots and no carrots for those being identified and isolated to be left behind. No time for rehabilitation. Education is little more than social promotion so best learn to adapt and live with the constipation of the imagination. But isn’t this where finding self is supposed to be key – where the need to know who you are and what you want is the greatest discovery one can experience and achieve? Thank God for charter schools and experiential education programs using methods (e.g. the Montessori Schools) that lead young minds to exploring one’s areas of interest and...

March Article / 2021 - COMMON SENSE

Image
Buffalo Latino Village   COMMON SENSE When neighbors accept that “ It takes a village to fully raise a child ” STUFF HAPPENS! I grew up on such a block; a village within a village. I got punished because of neighbors ratting me out whenever caught doing or saying something out of line. Neighbors shared resources as simple as cups of sugar or milk. I didn’t like or understand it at the time but remember ; the name of the neighborhood cop that walked the beat and would take us to our parents instead of jail for trivial stuff, the mailman that delivered the mail with a smile, sprinkler caps put on fire hydrants for kids to cool off in the summer, and trees getting planted to beautify the blocks. That’s what united block associations can do to hold community boards accountable to use available resources (city, state, and federal projects and funds) for the betterment of the whole community. Sure, there will always be a few bad apples in the barrel; a drunk, a junkie, and/or a thief...

October Article / 2020 : Withholding Taxes for Community

Image
    Withholding Taxes for Community    part 2 of 3 Stated in previous edition, there is reason to turn to, and empower, Grassroot Community based organizations (CBO). WHY? Wonder how your taxes are spent only to feel helpless. Wonder how much of your tax dollars pay for sustaining the life style of civil servants like the Senate, Congress , etc. A LOT! If officials, paid a lot, were listening to the peoples cry “ enough of President Trump ”  (a popular opinion), how is it that the Senate, (representing the peoples voice), can refuse to impeach the president. Either somebody is not listening or somebody is not screaming load enough. So If they are not listening to THAT cry, can you expect such officials to listen to community needs. It’s time for “we the people” to turn to, and empower good old grassroot community-based organizations (CBO ) Time to enable them to take actions beyond simple protests and begin dethroning negligent officials obligated to assure...

June Article / 2021: HOUSING TERMITES

Image
Housing Termites The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Feudalism had kings, nobles, vassals, and lords. Capitalism has corporations, elected officials, regulators, and land developers. Their common goal: Distribution and management of land and resources among low/middle income tenants (peasants and indentured servants ). But don’t feel helplessly sad and afraid! Get relentlessly willing and able! Call transient residents’ “ cockroaches ” that come to enjoy a season of the night life and go, each time leaving apartments subject to further rent hikes. Call land developers’ lethal “ termites ” that come, see opportunity, plot long-term visions, and without the early intervention of qualified exterminators, proceed to execute a methodic plan to settle and expand with permanently devastating consequences on community demographics and existing infrastructure. But a bug is a bug! Just flip the switch and watch the light of truth send the night feasting players scrambling for cover....
