My letter to humanity

My letter to humanity 

I am writing this letter to humanity in hopes the world can see the truth in what I am saying and have seen and lived in this life and maybe just maybe we can begin to heal the souls of our world 

No human being should ever have to fear for his own life because of political or religious beliefs. We are all in this together, my friends, the rich, the poor, the red, white, black, brown and yellow. We share responsibility for Mother Earth and those who live and breathe upon her ..never forget that.I don’t know how to save the world. I don’t have the answers or The Answer. I hold no secret knowledge as to how to fix the mistakes of generations past and present. I only know that without compassion and respect for all of Earth’s inhabitants, none of us will survive—nor will we deserve to.

To heal will require real effort, and a change of heart, from all of us. To heal means that we will begin to look upon one another with respect and tolerance instead of prejudice, distrust and hatred. We will have to teach our children-as well as ourselves-to love the diversity of humanity....We can do it. Yes, you and I and all of us together. Now is the time. Now is the only possible time. Let the Great Healing begin.

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the America people and the citizens of our world . I have fought against Government domination, and I have fought against White and black domination & racism. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.

I hate race discrimination most intensely and in all its manifestations. I have fought it all during my life coming from the southern State of Alabama where racism lives even to this day I fight it now, and will do so until the end of my days. Even although I now happen to be tried by one whose opinion I hold in high esteem, I detest most violently the set-up that surrounds me here. It makes me feel that I am a black man in a white man's court. This should not be.

I must deal immediately and at some length with the question of violence. Some of the things so far told to the Court are true and some are untrue. I do not, however, deny that I planned to teach the my countrymen how to protect and defend themselves against a well train military for I stand with my countrymen . I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness, nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation, and oppression of our countrymen and women and our children to go further we must look at the future generations to come By the elite and wealthy of this country.

"I and some colleagues came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be wrong and unrealistic for American leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force. It is only when all else has failed, when all channels of peaceful protest had been barred to us, that the decision should be made to embark on violent forms of political struggle and protest ."

"We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom or will the people believe in the truth for the education they have received has taken those truths that have made us all free from them and they no longer believe in their hearts and minds that they are great. We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success. We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world. Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world. Let freedom reign."

"Under the care of governments and the corporations of this world we have seen racism at its finest and coming from those that were expected to lead we the people to freedom and strength of a united nation as one people ,Racism is a blight on the human conscience on the heart and on the soul and if it is passed on to the next generation of as it has done so in the past it will be we the people responsible for the outcome of our children and a newborn hatred toward their fellow man and women . The idea that any people can be inferior to another, to the point where those who consider themselves superior define and treat the rest as sub-human, denies the humanity even of those who elevate themselves to the status of gods."

Many of you who read this will not understand our goal and commitment to sovereignty and truth to freedom and the right to govern oneself and it is said we are a nation of laws but the law must be fair and true for all or the is no rule of law at all only oppression,we must not let the leaders of this world and our country that we understand their actions against humanity and we will have none of it !!!

A law does not make a person behave in any specific way; it only represents a threat of reprisal and cannot stop a free person from taking the liberty to violate it. The sum of more laws only means more punishments and imprisonment to be carried out by the government on the free people of our nation. Our laws should be more like; “don’t sweat the small violations and all violations are small”. Did or have you ever considered why the founders didn’t create a civil or federal police force and left policing if necessary to we the people. That as we as a nation grew we didn’t create law enforcement agencies we created police agencies for the purpose of keeping the peace, not enforcing the laws but to protect us from violence and crime and investigation, where law enforcement was strictly the purview of the legal system and the courts.

"We are extricating ourselves from a system that insulted our common humanity by dividing us from one another on the basis of race and setting us against each other as oppressed and oppressor. That system committed a crime against humanity for we are the free thinkers of our world those that seek the betterment of humanity as a whole and not in parents or pieces subject to another's rule or governing of our lives what the majority have forgotten in our world is that Freedom is alone the unoriginated birthright of man; it belongs to him by force of his humanity, and is in dependence on the will and coaction of every other, in so far as this consists with every other person's freedom.."

A man is either free or he is not. There cannot be any apprenticeship for freedom.

We the citizens of humanity must come to understand that (There is no valid argument for the destruction of our planet and any form of life on it.As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.) Be the change that you want to see in the world.

I deal with people every day and in many situations and on many issue in my line or work and activism I have had some ask me why I call Americans sheep just take a look at the social net and it will explain itself to everyone all you see is talk and that may be good but without action to what anyone speaks that's all it is cheap words “Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.”I have never been a spectator.

“Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them making each and everyone who remained silent in a time of deceit just as guilty has those who cause our extinction as a race of people.” "We have laid the foundation for a better life. Things that were unimaginable a few years ago have become every day reality. I belong to the generation of leaders for whom the achievement of democracy was the defining challenge."

"In all disputes a point is arrived at where no party, no matter how right or wrong it might have been at the start of that dispute, will any longer be totally in the right or totally in the wrong. Such a point, I believe, has been reached in this debate. Let us not equivocate: a tragedy of unprecedented proportions is unfolding in in America today!!!

The so-called elections have passed "Today we are a nation at war not peace with itself, UN-united in our diversity, not only proclaiming but living out the contention that America belongs to all who live in it but to those who have deceived the world and its people . We take our place amongst the nations of the world, confident and proud in being an American people of every race color and creed A nation by any standard on of hypocrites and false Patriots it makes me wonder what the founders would say to use all today right or wrong we were left the responsibility of a nation as it is written WE THE PEOPLE HERE BY FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION."

On poverty:there will be those that call me a liar and attempt to discredit me in what I say to you all in this not of truth to the world Thou shalt not steal does not mean the poor must starve

"Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life. While poverty persists, there is no true freedom."

On human solidarity: for this one key element brothers and sisters is power and the way to freedom and away from oppression and pain poverty and strife brought on every citizen of this world for there is no justice in this world for those without money ???

"As the years progress one increasingly realizes the importance of friendship and human solidarity. And if a 55-year-old may offer some unsolicited advice on this occasion, it would be that you, irrespective of your age, should place human solidarity, the concern for the other, at the center of the values by which you live."

I tell you this for my children for my countrymen “When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.” 

“ As we can very well see today the Political language — and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists — is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.“

“Many have forgotten this truth that Individual rights are not subject to a public vote. A majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority. The political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities, and the smallest minority on earth is the individual.”

I was a Soldier for 14.5 years and I came to write this article with an open mind. As I always like to tell people "I fight for your freedom, what you do with it is up to you." (Even if it includes disagreeing with what I do). But I must say, for as generic as "thank you for your service" may seem; it is a whole lot more than my father got (Drafted-drill sergeant/ 3 tours in Vietnam-3 Purple hearts to prove it...), he came home to hate, disregard, and protest.

My father did not get a generic"thank you"; people spit in his face, called him a baby killer, had no real support or benefits from his government, and all for what?.. A war he was drafted and FORCED to fight in. Service members of today come home to a much softer climate. So do you know who I thank? WWII veterans... Men who against certain odds faced certain death purely out of love for their country. Korean War Veterans... Or as we call "The forgotten ones" and of course Vietnam Vets... Men who were forced out of their homes, to face pointless terror, all to be hated when they came home for it.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

and have no illusions brothers and sisters,

"There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle." 

My hypocrisy only goes so far I am a sovereign citizen and choose to Govern my own being honest and true to my people i will not except ever to be Governed but by god for whom I pray and place before all worldly values of man,or governments as it has already shown to be true to the world it's grace of governing any citizen of humanity and it is simple this “To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality."

I close this letter to humanity and my countrymen and women with this final thought in hopes that it goes to your brains and slides down to your hearts and feeds your soul the strength to stand and be counted it is your human right Let us see it as LAWFUL REBELLION STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT 

“We cannot have peace if we are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life.” “The problem after a war is with the victor. He thinks he has just proved that war and violence pay. Who will now teach him a lesson?” “No Big Power in all history ever thought of itself as an aggressor. That is still true today.” There is no way to peace; peace is the way.

When the typical reformer or revolutionist proclaims the new order, he goes on to urge men to organize, agitate, get out the vote, fight. Jesus also proclaimed The Kingdom of God [i.e., the revolution] is at hand; but immediately added in true prophetic fashion, Repent. That is to say, if we are to have a new world, we must have new men; if you want a revolution, you must be revolutionized. A world of peace will not be achieved by men who in their own souls are torn with strife and eagerness to assert themselves. In the degree that the anti-war or pacifist movement is composed of individuals who have not themselves, to use Aldous Huxley's phrase, achieved detachment, who have not undergone an inner revolution, it too will experience the same failure to achieve self-discipline, integrity, true fellowship among its own members which has afflicted other movements for social change.

if you will not stand up for your own rights or the rights of your children and future generations to come ?how can I have faith in you to stand up for My rights or any one else for that matter??? Hence there is the separation between the citizens and the soldier.

“It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies.” and many do but at a price of being placed on a watch list or to be detained hounded and arrested held and with out due process they are the heroes those whom have chosen to speak out at any cost from veterans to soldiers to the citizen STAND AND BE COUNTED
