WILDERNESS VOICE: REDEFINIG MAGA

 




REDEFINIG MAGA


The operative letter is “A” for “AGAIN.” It automatically calls for an all-inclusive look into a past beyond imperialistic tendencies like flexing Military Power, Manufacturing and Global Economic Dominance. But that past also included modeling a democracy offering its citizens and so many from abroad freedom of speech, the right to elect and impeach its public officials, as well as equal legal protection of inalienable rights: Life, Liberty and Justice FOR ALL!

However, it’s really hard to ponder and understand: What’s going on or where to turn for answers. It’s even harder to prioritize and choose what to focus on when media is not only rapid firing information but being forced to combat intimidation and censorship. Compound that with all the inhouse fighting among our “Publicly Elected Officials” trusted to focus on protecting and providing opportunities for a better future. But beyond finger pointing: What about us? What’s happening to the operative phrase “We the People of the United States?”

Yes! America has been moving toward a dark, erroneous place that has reached a boiling break point that can’t be ignored. Its military force is currently being challenged and thinly spread across too many fronts. Its reserves are nearly depleted to a level where defending its own borders is questionable. And its citizen infrastructure is divided into so many factions, issues and priorities that gaining momentum in any direction seems null. But let’s look at the past and realize; we’ve been here before and somehow survived. Only this time, the stakes are higher and the game, if you dare call it that, is different. This time the rooster has come to roost!

However, in 1963, civil rights leader Malcolm X popularized the saying as "chickens coming home to roost" depicting how a person's (and nations) past mistakes, bad decisions, and wrongdoings finally catch up with everything to cause negative consequences. More relevant, it implies that current national crises, social conflicts, and international problems are the direct result of earlier U.S. political decisions, foreign interventions, and systemic issues as those currently being witnessed; ICE expanding domestic military presence, widespread camera surveillance and centralization of individual data and so much more. The only difference between then and now is technology; the process of automizing industry, managing media information and turning the citizens of humanity into battery-dependent automatons: Button pushers reacting to having their buttons pushed as normal for conducting daily business. Harsh? Yes! Inevitable? Maybe! Hopelessly Helpless? Absolutely Not!

Making America Great Again is not exclusively about an Economic Geopolitical agenda but inclusively about “We! All! The People!” regaining our global position as a pillar modeling the inherent potential of what a true democratic order can still achieve: Milton Friedmans’ ideology that free market capitalism can combine business profits, taxes and unions toward a future targeted at an educational system able to provide early youth work experiences and a hardship safety net as expressed, and implemented, in F.D. Roosevelts’ New Bill of Rights which included a detailed unemployment and welfare system. The question is whether you are willing to look and read between the lines to find the common denominator able to connect with the truth: “We can Make America Great Again.” But presently, it’s beyond a political agenda. It’s an “All Inclusive People’s Movement” aimed at survival. It’s a movement requiring a purging of the many dividing lines, a dramatic shift from debate to a dialog that respectfully embraces compromise, and the determined will to make individual sacrifices and investment toward the need to accept: We are more than American Citizens. We were meant to, and can still be, the Citizens of Humanity that the world needs to see and consider. That’s the redefined “MAGA” that “We The People of the United States” urgently need to unite and reclaim the direction of our future.

The Hurting Heart of Humanity -April issue

Image
  The hurting heart of humanity Humanities heart is in a state of global crisis! Growing natural disasters have compounded the widespread social conflict and injustice driving class and racial inequalities to unbearable levels. Crime, violence, mental illness and corruption have become little more than a normal cost of doing daily business. Existence has become an arena where depleting resources and dwindling economic opportunities are dangerously justifying the resulting consequences. of Growing unemployment, poverty and homelessness have reached unprecedented levels. Thus, mounting forms of addiction are just efforts to ease the strain of having to live in constant competition with each other at the cost of losing one’s innate natural desire, need and ability to love, trust and share. Meanwhile, the looming dark clouds full of thundering hate and lightning-fast hoarding are crippling the social threads of compassion under the weight of growing fear and despair. In truth, lookin...

The Jesus Factor :: Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass

Image
  The Jesus Factor  Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass  We’ve all heard of the light ! That enlightening knowledge and understanding of how God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will converge to give humanity a second shot at a life full of harmonious coexistence free of growing pain and suffering. But the uncertainties of daily life have given rise to a fear of lacking tomorrows wants in ways that justify an unprecedented need for hording greed. Under such external pressures, it’s time to question: How much of that light (e.g. peace, love, and joy) is actually still in you?   Darkness is quickly spreading a blanket of worldwide despair ; humanities intended fruits (e.g. kindness, goodness, gentleness, forbearance and self-control) are becoming but mere shadows as we walk along the corridors between “Once Upon a Time” and “It Is what It Is.” Thus question: How deep is the darkness within you?   Seemingly overwhelmed, we fail to grasp the simplicity of common sense. ...

Wilderness Voice: Separation of Church and State

Image
  Separation of Church and State:   Somewhere along the still evolving timeline of humanity, our nation ; its communities, families and inherent individuals have lost something still longing to be recognized and embraced. You, me, we are all divinely created and endowed with the right to respectfully speak, be heard and accommodated. Perhaps along with celebrating the birth of Christ we should consider not only its similarities with the birth of this Nation but their shared fate as well: A regretted Crucifixion and a faith-based Resurrection with a promised return! Both have had to survive a rollercoaster ride full of unexpected rises, winding curves and pitfalls. But that’s about it! Where Christ offered followers a sustaining inner power to endure the wait for His promised return; this nation, while singing “ One nation under god ” and inscribing “ In god we trust ” on dollar bills and courtroom walls, has offered a Constitution rippled with compromising loopholes e...

Voices in the wilderness - May Issue

Image
  Voices in the Wilderness Fellow artists, blessed and gifted with talents and opportunities to be yet another historic voice in the wilderness crying out for justice to be made manifest; may our weapons of choice be sharpened to be heeded and heart felt. May our work’s, howsoever small but still flickering, become beacons of light against the seemingly growing social darkness gripping so many with feelings of helpless, hopeless despair. May our performing platforms serve as battering rams able to shatter the illusions blinding so many from the truth: We Are One! We are stewards, co-heirs destined to harvest and share what this world, this planet, this society still has the potential to offer and make manifest. For promised better days to come we need just accept that we are the voices, the hands and feet of a cosmic force made manifest thru us, for us, just because – because we’re built for more than present minds and hearts have come to accept. We’ve been granted eyes, ears a...

The Jesus Factor :: Split, Splitting and Set Adrift

Image
  The Jesus Factor  Split, Splitting and Set Adrift Is it fact, hearsay, or what we’ve been conditioned, manipulated to believe and endorse without considering: What’s the end game? Many are too busy trying to survive. They just want to believe, be consoled, AND OBEY! With all the growing media hype focused on controversies, many are just getting isolated and secretly confused. But some are becoming concerned and beginning to question: Are we alone and left to fend for ourselves ? Yet, some are simply sad and asking each other: What Did You Read? There is an obvious difference between what He said and what they profess he implied! Consider the nature of denominational dogma . They all agree; one god, one son, one spirit, one reference book, and one destination: Life in the hereafter! HERE! AFTER! Would it had said here AND after! Without adherence to what He said, the “ MEANWHILE ” continues to be at the heart of today’s escalating drama. Or should I say “Saga?”  Simpl...
