"Peace will be the result of
understanding and sharing,
and not the origin of them..."
Djwahl Khul
===================================
It is a good thing for seekers and others who are interested in
metaphysics, the new age, enlightenment, etc to understand what the
world leaders are really up to. Presently, the western world is led by
very deceptive men whose morals are lower than the average people in
the streets. Most of them are not interested in building a new world
with plenty of peace and justice. Their objectives are to serve the
super rich, to help them amass even more billions, and to stay in
power. They would prefer the people to believe that murdering Osama
Bin Laden was a good thing, that the USA represents the "Good guys"
and that Osama was a terrible villain.
Noam Chomsky has a crystal clear, factual, non-emotional perspective
that is very helpful for seekers of the truth. Those who read his
material see that the western politicans and news media are very
deceptive. They act to help the super rich get richer, to maintain the
status quo and not to rock the boat.
Our relatively young civilization is crossing a crossing a bridge at
this time. Behind us is the old dying era, the piscean age and before
us is a new era that will be strongly influenced by the energies of
aquarius. Under their stimulus we will build a golden civilization, it
will be a 2,000+ year period when we will build a new world
characterized by peace, justice, beauty and joy. It will be a new era
when the politicians will have respect for and work to serve the
people. We will see the scourges of war, poverty, hunger, political
corruption and extreme concentrated wealth totally eradicated.
As many can see, the systems, solutions and methods (including the
economic system) that have worked for the ruling elite for the past
2,000 years are not working any longer. It is time for a new
economic system that serves all the people fairly, time for a new
breed of politician, who has sincere respect for everyone and a strong
desire to create justice and peace, and many more good things.
You are hereby encouraged to seek and spread the truth.

Noam Chomsky: My Reaction to Osama bin Laden’s Death
By Noam Chomsky
It’s increasingly clear that the operation was a planned
assassination,
multiply violating elementary norms of international law. There
appears
to have been no attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim, as
presumably
could have been done by 80 commandos facing virtually no
opposition—except, they claim, from his wife, who lunged towards
them.
In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are
apprehended
and brought to fair trial. I stress “suspects.” In April 2002, the
head
of the FBI, Robert Mueller, informed the press that after the most
intensive investigation in history, the FBI could say no more than
that
it “believed” that the plot was hatched in Afghanistan, though
implemented in the UAE and Germany. What they only believed in April
2002, they obviously didn’t know 8 months earlier, when Washington
dismissed tentative offers by the Taliban (how serious, we do not
know,
because they were instantly dismissed) to extradite bin Laden if they
were presented with evidence—which, as we soon learned, Washington
didn’t have. Thus Obama was simply lying when he said, in his White
House statement, that “we quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were
carried out by al Qaeda.”
Nothing serious has been provided since. There is much talk of bin
Laden’s “confession,” but that is rather like my confession that I
won
the Boston Marathon. He boasted of what he regarded as a great
achievement.
There is also much media discussion of Washington’s anger that
Pakistan
didn’t turn over bin Laden, though surely elements of the military
and
security forces were aware of his presence in Abbottabad. Less is
said
about Pakistani anger that the U.S. invaded their territory to carry
out
a political assassination. Anti-American fervor is already very high
in
Pakistan, and these events are likely to exacerbate it. The decision
to
dump the body at sea is already, predictably, provoking both anger
and
skepticism in much of the Muslim world.
We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos
landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his
body in the Atlantic. Uncontroversially, his crimes vastly exceed bin
Laden’s, and he is not a “suspect” but uncontroversially the
“decider”
who gave the orders to commit the “supreme international crime
differing
only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the
accumulated evil of the whole” (quoting the Nuremberg Tribunal) for
which Nazi criminals were hanged: the hundreds of thousands of
deaths,
millions of refugees, destruction of much of the country, the bitter
sectarian conflict that has now spread to the rest of the region.
There’s more to say about [Cuban airline bomber Orlando] Bosch, who
just
died peacefully in Florida, including reference to the “Bush
doctrine”
that societies that harbor terrorists are as guilty as the terrorists
themselves and should be treated accordingly. No one seemed to notice
that Bush was calling for invasion and destruction of the U.S. and
murder of its criminal president.
Same with the name, Operation Geronimo. The imperial mentality is so
profound, throughout western society, that no one can perceive that
they
are glorifying bin Laden by identifying him with courageous
resistance
against genocidal invaders. It’s like naming our murder weapons after
victims of our crimes: Apache, Tomahawk… It’s as if the Luftwaffe
were
to call its fighter planes “Jew” and “Gypsy.”
There is much more to say, but even the most obvious and elementary
facts should provide us with a good deal to think about.
Noam Chomsky is Institute Professor emeritus in the MIT Department of
Linguistics and Philosophy. He is the author of numerous best-selling
political works. His latest books are a new edition of Power and
Terror,
The Essential Chomsky (edited by Anthony Arnove), a collection of his
writings on politics and on language from the 1950s to the present,
Gaza
in Crisis, with Ilan Pappé, and Hopes and Prospects, also available
as
an audiobook.

Noam Chomsky: My Reaction to Osama bin Laden’s Death
May 6, 2011
By Noam Chomsky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The truth set us free - from believing the lies of the corrupt
establishment.
It will eventually set us free from the claws of the ruling elite and
all the
miserable consequences of their terrible leadership.

"If you flip over the rock of American foreign policy of the past
century, this is what crawls out…
invasions … bombings … overthrowing governments …
occupations … suppressing movements for social change …
assassinating political leaders … perverting elections …
manipulating labor unions … manufacturing "news" …
economic and political sanctions ... death squads …
torture … biological warfare … depleted uranium …
drug trafficking … mercenaries …
It's not a pretty picture.
It is enough to give imperialism a bad name.

Interventions Since World War II."

"It isn't indifference. It's just augury:.. it's reasonable to
wonder why the symbols of America's economic and military dominance
- the World Trade Center and the Pentagon - were chosen as the
targets of the attacks. Why not the Statue of Liberty? Could it be
that
the stygian anger that led to the attacks has its taproot not in
American freedom and democracy, but in the US Government's record of
commitment and support to exactly the opposite things - to military
and economic terrorism, insurgency, military dictatorship, religious
bigotry and unimaginable genocide (outside America)?...American
people
ought to know that it is not them but their Government's policies
that are so hated."
Arundhati Roy, Author
===================================
“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible
government owing no allegiance and
acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this
invisible government, to befoul
the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is
the first task of the
statesmanship of today.” : President Theodore Roosevelt

"Without sharing there can be no justice;
without justice there can be no peace;
without peace there can be no future...
Man must change or die.
There is no other course."

Those who manipulate the US military industrial complex are the
biggest trouble makers on the planet. They are the most significant
obstacles to world peace. Sadly, they are supported by approx. 99% of
the us senate, men who are more interested in holding onto their power
and helping the super rich get even richer, than anything else. Good
men can not be expected to relax while neither rabid dogs or unmanned
drones prowl their neighborhoods and the neighborhoods of their
neighbors, indiscriminately killing and maiming friends and
relatives. It is not unreasonable to expect some good men especially
those who have felt the destruction and massive amounts of needless
misery caused by our military industrial complex to find a way to
detonate a nuclear bomb in the USA. Perhaps that is what some terribly
sick minds in the pentagon want to happen, so that they can strike
back. Then someone else would strike us again, and we would throw some
nukes in their direction, and eventually the Earth become
uninhabitable. With each belligerent act of the State Department and
DoD, we get closer to global nuclear annihilation. The so called
"department of defense" must be exposed for what it is and shut down,
asap. All that money is being spent to create problems, rather than
solve them. We need to turn the situation around. As plenty of people
know, the first step in solving any problem is to define the problem.
The truth will set us free from warmongers and war. Their lies will
only perpetuate the present hellish situation.

“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the
safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been
enthroned and an era of
corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the
country will endeavour to
prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until
all wealth is aggregated in
a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.” : Abraham Lincoln
"Love is an active force which transforms. Love which does
not act is hardly love at all. Love in action is the
essence of love. It is an ability to love the world and all
that is in it which is the capacity of Maitreya. The
deepest desire of the heart of the One who can do that is to
unify all. He looks into the world and sees... [X.X] billion
people: suffering, striving, competing, all the different
actions, some positive, some deeply negative. He sees all of
that and His urge, His deepest desire, the outflow of His
spiritual heart's need, is to bring all of that together, to
unify it all."
Benjamin Creme, in Maitreya's Mission Vol. III
"A true realization of the implications of reincarnation will
transform the whole Western approach to reality. The idea that there
is purpose and plan; above all that the great Law of Cause and Effect
governs our existence, must change our viewpoint. The need for right
human relationships, for harmlessness, will become abundantly clear. "
Benjamin Creme
======
"The only real hope of people today . . . is a renewal of our
certainty that we are rooted in Earth and, at the same time, in the
cosmos. This awareness endows us with the capacity for self-
transcendence . . . Transcendence as a hand reached out to those close
to us, to foreigners, to the human community, to all living creatures,
to nature, to the universe; transcendence as a deeply and joyously
experienced need to be in harmony even with what we ourselves are not,
what we do not understand, what seems distant from us in time and
space, but with which
we are nevertheless mysteriously linked because, together with us, all
this constitutes a single world."
Vaclav Havel
