Has anyone asked the question lately of what happens in a family of a person unjustly arrested  and convicted in a kangaroo court? Under the guise of national security is civil disobedience and whistle-blowing now couched in felony thanks to the Patriot Acts I & II and over a hundred thousand new laws with more to come?   Who is the collateral damage?

This inhumanity toward humankind is no longer a racial issue regardless that is  was prevalent after the civil war  down  into  the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950′s and 60′s. One hundred years of that abuse   is coming around like the snake eating its own tail. It is more sinister in origin than one might think. The puzzle pieces are all falling together.

Ever wonder WHY ARE THERE SO MANY NEW PRISONS AND PRISONERS TO FILL THEM?   The statistics are on the increase since 2005. Think I am barking up the wrong tree?  look at:   http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=530

It’s really not about race anymore. It’s about filling quotas and coffers. It’s all a business model. It’s all commercial, not criminal. This post is not focusing on   ‘corporatocracy’s'  insatiable need for heinous profits from new  sources of  free labor within  private prison systems. You can go to other links that cover the issue such as this one: http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-prison-industry-in-the-united-states-big-business-or-a-new-form-of-slavery/8289 t.

In the last twelve years men more than women were arrested in the name of terrorism, national security, border patrol, public health /welfare  safety with  sting operations cleverly laid by alphabet soup agencies such as FBI,  USDA, DEA, ATF, TSA, NSA, DOJ, IRS, CIA, EPA  to entrap, be ensconced, and make an example to others. Is this the real reason or is it to fill the quotas in the  new prisons? The list is too many to post all the links so to give and example  here are a few:   http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/farm-raids.html,         http://www.naturalnews.com/021791.html ;             http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=129739&page=1&authuser=1;               http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/441-occupy/15335-fbi-should-investigate-bankers-not-protesters?tmpl=component&print=1&layout=default&page=

Is it for the money?

The plethora of new laws each year in this country are becoming so cumbersome few law firms or enforcement agencies  can keep up. For example in 2011 alone 40,000 new  laws were put into effect. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/45819570/ns/us_news-life/

 What should be our focus?

 

This is not a post about gun control, crime rates, emerging police state, fear, hate, or blame; rather a reality that is closing in fast. It is about teaching the children of what their future is becoming and what can happen to family and them.

Let’s look at the wives, significant others, parents, family of those hijacked into the new corporate labor camps called prisons. For readers who may know of someone in this situation these are sobering questions. How and what do  family members  tell the children? It is particularly delicate of those who allegedly did  nothing except stand for civil liberty, true freedom, and unalienable rights in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, where the only ‘victim’ is a government agency and a new law.  How do you say that daddy isn’t coming home, yet he is not dead, he isn’t working late?

What say we to the children, of their father’s sacrifice for liberty, knowledge, self-determination under the oppressive thumbs of tyranny? What will they understand?  What story do we author that puts it into perspective? What armament does a mother, aunt, grandparent use to educate a child about the fine distinction of right and wrong in a world that has turned upside down on truth? Tell them truth. Ennoble them to stand firm against stigma and ridicule. Encourage them to question everything, follow nothing that is not inner truth and moral compass. God never lies.

It is a history lesson in the making and a reminder that all of us answer to the Highest Authority and nothing can stand between it. It is impossible. Nothing is higher than God; that source is within you.

Permit me to digress here.

The travesty is that the clever hand of evil tyranny has for many hundreds of years cultivated forms of mind control over the populace weaving a tapestry of  lies. It is an illusion convincing us this dark evil force is that authority. On the other hand let us not forget that evil resides within all of us just as goodness resides in tyrants. How can we trust anything but the Highest Authority?  I’ll include a quote from Martin Luther King on that later.

It is now time for our children, our future, to awaken with the adults who are the stewards of these vulnerable, sweet, growing minds and hearts. It is time to cultivate knowledge and truth as a solid foundation for a golden age of wisdom and abundance as the norm.

Let me leave you with some historical material as a reference to back up some of that history lesson for the children  to create a new hero and a new legendary tale. Weave a tapestry based on fact. Keep in mind that adversity is the fertile foundation for leaders. Listed here are examples of  leaders who were imprisoned by the closed fists of  ‘tyranny’  before or during their statesmanship

Aung San Suu Kyi- helped found the National League for Democracy  in Burma on 27 September 1988. 1990 elections won 59% for democracy quickly denied by the junta in power. She was under house arrest from 1989 until 2010.

Nelson Mandela – South African anti-apartheid activist, revolutionary and politician who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, imprisoned for High Treason, December 5, 1956.

Mahatma Ghandi- leader from 1915-1948: excerpt from wikipedia- Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women’s rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, increasing economic self-reliance, and above all for achieving Swaraj—the independence of India from British domination.

Quotes: [I put bold type  for emphasis]

THOMAS JEFFERSON:

“The law of self-preservation is higher than written law.”

“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’, because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.”

“A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.”

“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well-informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceived. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. …

MAHATMA GHANDI:

 

“A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.”

“A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.”

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.“

“A ‘No’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘Yes’ merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.”

NELSON MANDELA:

 

“In my country we go to prison first and then become President.”

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

“It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.”

 

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.:

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

“History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.”

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”

In summary, for the families of the kidnapped and ensconced, I offer a ‘shoulder’ to lean on in this post. Let me also be  a messenger, a rock for you during these strident, adverse times. Allow yourself to sink upon the rock of my accumulated experience, wisdom to truth. It is why I am here.  I make no guarantees except for this;  the Presence we call god is always at work within you. Call upon it first.  It will move mountains for you.
