A Time For Revolution sonicflyingmachine

Sonicflyingmachine created “A Time for Revolution” as his version of “A Peaceful Solution.” A heavy metal style reinforces the gritty images from the underbelly of the United States government.

Sonicflyingmachine illustrates a few of the most recent examples of the struggle by the Multitude to gain personal sovereignty in the face of pervasive global Empire. The contest between the exercise of power in the establishment and maintenance of hierarchical social relationships denies the egalitarian rights long believed to be every person’s intrinsic birthright.

We seem born into an existence of enforced duality begging for transcendence. This lie deceives many from believing the truth of our equality on the Plane of Immanence as part of an Infinite God.

Global Peace emerges from exercising belief in the universal non-exclusionary dignity and worth of all people on a Global scale. Individual sovereignty can only be the product of irrevocable inclusion in the sovereignty of Infinite God.

It can be no other way.

We could never truly be separate from an Infinite God because in that separation the infinite nature of God would be denied. To embrace the illusion of duality and transcendence is to open the door to endlessly proliferating hierarchies of power relationships.

Hundreds of years ago Renaissance Humanists rationally revealed the necessarily all inclusive nature of a truly Infinite God. Since that time our history seems to be largely a record of hierarchies of power relations attempting to justify and perpetuate themselves in the face of the truth of the Plane of Immanence.

We now live in a critical era as Globalization is being perverted into Empire rather than manifest in its true original tendency towards Global Peace. Empire will eventually inevitably succumb to its own corrupt nature if by no other reason.

We can now pick a passage from the slavery of transcendent power relations to the ultimate primary Unified Field of Immanence with the least violence, pain, suffering and unnecessarily premature death.

The longer we delay the inevitable implementation of Global Peace the more our options become constrained. If we wait too long society will succumb to a violent abrupt collapse as the final last option.

Sonicflyingmachine wrote the protest song “ Mr. President” when he was 16. His song “Smile” conveys hope in the face of adversity. To express the belief in the ability of all things (no matter how seemingly insurmountable) being possible sonicflyingmachine created “Look At Me (It’s Gonna Get Better).

* * * * * Artist’s Statement * * * * *

Everyone knows that something’s wrong but few can put their finger on it. Its not their fault really. They’ve been brainwashed into believing what the corporate-owned media spoon feeds them. Their opinions are the opinions that have been meticulously and unknowingly implanted in their psyche.

Those that have spent the time researching our puppet governments and their puppet masters know what is happening and what will come to pass if we do nothing. Others pride themselves in being too intelligent to believe such nonsense about the Illuminati, the CIA, and a multitude of other nefarious organizations that will lead to a New World Order and an eventual mass depopulation of the earth through starvation and outright execution as well as the enslavement of the remaining members of the human race and that’s exactly what this shadow government wants: for you to think that its all nonsense so that they can further their agenda uninterrupted.

President Kennedy spoke of these monsters and he was assassinated for doing so. Politics have never been the same after that. All so-called leaders of the Western world have been hand-picked since then.

Like John Lennon once said: Nothing is real (translation: everything is the exact opposite of what you were raised to believe as a child). The state indoctrinates you early in the public school system and welfare destroys the family structure (for a mother to be eligible, she can’t have a male in the household).

This is the reality; but as long as the bills are paid, why should you care? There will come a time when you will lose your job and you will not be able to pay your bills. Your currency will become worthless as gold will be the new currency. Along with your worldly possessions, you will lose something even greater: your dignity and your freedom.

Your children will be taken from you and you will be organized into labor groups and your compensation will be limited rations of genetically modified food devoid of any nutritional value and filled with toxins (including carcinogens), mind control programming, and the luxury of being stacked vertically in a FEMA concentration camp. When you die from malnutrition, exhaustion, or a preventable disease, you will be placed in a plastic casket and wheeled into an incinerator. Sound familiar?

This has happened before and it happened because no one spoke up. It happened because no one did anything. Again, that’s exactly what they want. You’re paving the road for their eventual takeover. The same people that were behind the Nazis are behind this.

One of their most successful strategies has been to divide and conquer.

Republicans vs. Democrats (newsflash: no matter who wins, the agenda will prevail). Blacks vs. Whites. They’ve succeeded. We all hate each other. They know that by getting us to bicker and fight amongst ourselves, we’ll never organize.

And there my friend is the key to fighting these subversive scum organization. We need to organize. Whether you like your neighbor or not, ask yourself, “Do I want to be a slave?” We all share a common answer to that question and that answer is NO.

I think you can learn to unite with different peoples knowing that you need their cooperation in order to survive.

This is a time for revolution but the revolution that we must wage must not be passive because it will accomplish nothing but to let them walk all over us.

It must also not be violent or militant

because they have superior firepower and military might. They wish to see us attempt either scenario because then they can act accordingly and step up their plans.

There is only one way to cripple them and it is actually by using their same techniques. Everyday, the economic noose that they’ve ensnared us with grows tighter around our necks. The current economic crisis that we’re experiencing was orchestrated by them. I propose the following:

1) Every Monday, no one pumps gas.

2) Every Tuesday, no one buys groceries.

3) Don’t watch television.

4) Don’t consume fast food (i.e., McDonald’s, Burger King, etc.).

5) Purchase only what is necessary.

Do you get the picture? Continue doing this until your governments sign formal treaties with its citizens outlawing lobbyists, unconstitutional acts, and all other unconstitutional activities which strip citizens of their rights and which give corporations undue influence and power over our lives including, but not limited to, stripping us of our right to privacy.

This WILL work but only if we all do this. Stand firm or die on your knees. Its up to you. Literally. You want to take back your country, then do it but remember, the only way this will work is if we all agree to not consume on the same day of the week.

This is just a starting point. A lot more can be and should be done. I would like to see someone take these ideas and develop them further.

Liars, Damned Liars and Politicians

September 2nd, 2008 Jay Posted in Animal Rights, Appropriate Technology, Arts, Environment, Family Farms, Peace No Comments »

YouTube Preview Image

Once again We The People Of The United States Of America must witness the pathetic spectacle of peaceful citizens seeking justice from an unjust system. The results of such efforts always proves violent and depressing due to the waste of sincere efforts to make the world a better place.

Once upon a time differing points of view were welcome and recognized as necessary to the growth of knowledge. The respected idea of the noble opposition provided needed balance and perspective to any program proposed by a dominant system.

Obviously this is no longer the case in the United States Of America.

Now that multinational corporations dominate life as we know it and have subsumed every aspect of our daily existence to the pursuit of excessive wealth contrary points of view are no longer tolerated. Alternate points of view to profits at any cost have become criminalized and all who resist the status quo branded as enemy terrorists.

We never had a democracy in the United States Of America but merely a republic similar to what preceded the rise of the totalitarian emperors of ancient Rome. Please remember that only male land owners were permitted to vote in early United States Of America.

The so called American Revolutionary War never was a true revolution but merely an act of rebellion. The ruling system was not overthrown and the colonies only distanced themselves for awhile from a corrupt system that continued to function.

A tapestry of lies creates the justification for the industrial civilization we are all born into. For too many people there is no thought that things were at one time and could again be profoundly different.

The only honest and true diversity represented in the United States Of America and now the world is a diversity of lies and deceit. Our world only seems confusing and complicated when one tries to reconcile the lies with the way things obviously are.

Liars come in many forms with the bald face liars being the easiest to catch. Two other types of liars seem to be particularly deceptive.

One type of liar will use a truth as a foundation to a mountain of lies. Of course this requires some crazy logic but too few people possess the education in common fallacies necessary to unravel the deception.

Anyone who can read may sit down with a newspaper and a list of fallacies for a quick education as to the lies regularly distributed by main stream media. Unfortunately even this simple exercise proves too difficult for most people.

Crazy logic defends the insane and psychopathic actions of our leaders in their arrogance, hubris and insatiable greed. We The People Of The United States Of America have played along with this craziness and seem to have permitted the dangerously corrupt government well deserved for this lack of attention.

Another type of liar redefines the very words we use.

An example of this last type of liar would be those who redefine “bringing democracy” to actually mean “bringing death, destruction and brutal military occupation.” The abuse of the word ‘democracy’ seems very common.

We now live in a world where prosperity means economic collapse, peace means war and security means terrorism by our own government.

Our condition will not change until each and every one of us takes responsibility for our condition. Waiting for a charismatic leader only prolongs the tenure of the status quo.

Charismatic leaders advocating meaningful significant change are routinely martyred by the status quo.

Likewise meaningful significant change will not be spearheaded by any organization. Any organization that promotes meaningful significant change will be labeled as a criminal conspiracy and subsequently persecuted.

So it is not a mystery how meaningful significant change can and will happen.

You must make a peaceful resolution.

You must create the peaceful revolution.

You must find the peaceful solution.

You must take back America.

You cannot depend upon anyone else to do it for you.

A Peaceful Solution Sheila Kirsten Hughes Band

August 31st, 2008 Jay Posted in Arts, Peace 2 Comments »

The Sheila Kirsten Hughes Band did an awesome job on their version of “A Peaceful Solution.” High production values delivered professional quality musicianship and videography in the small YouTube window.

Sheila Kirsten Hughes makes a great point in her artist’s statement by asserting that We The People will likely be the only ones who will steer The United State Of America back on course. She also suggests the idea that waiting for appropriate leadership is an empty wish.

Finally we see a popular artist embrace Postmodernism and reject reliance upon hierarchical relationships. Reliance upon leadership has become a liability.

Here we document the widespread irrepressible desire for meaningful significant change.

The leadership of meaningful significant change has become either a target for persecution or the essence of deception. If leadership proves itself by spearheading the desire of We The People then the corporate cartels use its political puppet’s to martyr them.

It seems that leadership only avoids martyrdom by allowing themselves to be co-opted and used as dupes for the corporate cartels. In this case We The People are merely led to the slaughter more efficiently.

Part of playing to the hierarchy is the false separation from a higher power sometimes identified as God. If you agree that God is infinite then you must also realize that separation from God is impossible.

The whole of idea of transcendence includes the idea of separation from Infinite God, an impossible contradiction. I suggest the idea of transcendence be replaced with the idea of immanence.

Immanence appears closely connected with a vision of a unified world and the connectedness of everything. This rejects a dualistic nature while affirming an all inclusive community.

The broader, higher and deeper thinkers in Science, Art and Religion all embrace universal unity. Over and over only thoughtless deceived fools embrace an artificial separation.

An ethics of immanence will reject any reliance upon judgments of good and evil, right and wrong, rule or law. Instead the diversity of living things demands the abstract methods of immanent evaluation (ethics) and immanent experimentation (creativity).

A Peaceful Revolution takes place upon the all inclusive Plane of Immanence with a Peaceful Resolution. Thank you Sheila Kirsten Hughes for reminding us with immanent experimentation.

Take Back America.

* * * * * Artist’s Statement * * * * *

A Peaceful Solution” means more to us than just voicing opposition to violence. It’s also about taking America back from those who are leading this great country astray.

It seems we’ve taken quiet steps away from the vision our Founding Father’s had for this nation. And it’s likely the only ones who are going to steer it back on course are us.

Marian Wright Edelman put it best when she said “A lot of people are waiting for Martin Luther King or Mahatma Gandhi to come back - but they are gone. We are it. It is up to us. It is up to you.”

We’d like to think a peaceful solution is possible, but it seems like such a dark time for humanity. But, “an age is called dark, not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.”

Let us not refuse to see the light, what little of it there may be, that is shining within each and every one of us. For change to occur, we’re going to have to do it together.

If we can get beyond our petty differences — the little things that separate us — to see that we have a lot more in common than we’re readily willing to admit, then a “A Peaceful Solution” can be a reality.

Fact Sheet About the Japanese Dolphin Hunts

Each year in Japan, approximately 20,000 dolphins and small whales are butchered horrifically in the biggest massacre of its kind in the world. These mass slaughters have taken place for centuries and systematically decimated many species of small cetacean. Closest to shore are the drive hunt fisheries that occur from Fall through Spring in a few Japanese fishing towns.

Fishermen in Taiji, Futo and elsewhere use boats and manmade noise to drive pods of dolphins into shallow bays. A net is then thrown across the bay to trap them. The dolphins are herded close to the shore as fishermen tighten the net. The confinement makes the dolphins panic and thrash around in terror as they try to escape.

After being driven to the shore and measured, a few dolphins from each pod are chosen for the aquarium industry by trainers. The dolphins are sold for tens of thousands of dollars each. The growing demand for live dolphins by the captive marine park industry is providing financial incentive that supports and encourages these brutal hunts.

Other dolphins may be wounded and drown in a frantic chaos as they try to escape. Mothers try to protect their dying young. Thousands are butchered with knives and spears, and the sea turns red with the animals’ blood. Most die after writhing in agony for many minutes.

Some of the animals who are killed are also eaten, even though their meat is highly contaminated from pollutants such as mercury. Many Japanese citizens are unaware of the danger or the extent of the cruelty that takes place on their shores as the media on this issue within Japan is stringently controlled.  The demand for dolphin meat has been dwindling so the Japanese government has started serving the toxic meat to school children in a desperate attempt to foster an appetite for dolphin meat despite the threat to the children’s health. This has continued over the objections from Taiji City Councilmen to stop.

For the fourth year in a row, thousands of groups and citizens around the world are taking collective action by participating in the annual International Day of Protest Against the Dolphin Slaughter. We plan to do this every year until the annual dolphin slaughters end. Peaceful rallies outside Japanese embassies and consulates take place on Wednesday, September 3, 2008 around the world.

A Peaceful Solution H. R. 5842 USA Hemp Museum

August 26th, 2008 Hempster Posted in Arts, Peace No Comments »

YouTube Preview Image

USA Hemp Museum produced this video of “A Peaceful Solution” in support of H. R. 5842. You can take action now and urge your Representatives to support this bill.

HR 5842:Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act would reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I drug to schedule II of the Controlled Substances Act and provide legal protections for authorized medical marijuana patients.

  • Hemp Heals
  • Hemp Reduces Pain
  • Hemp Stops Asthma Attacks
  • Hemp Is Rich In Essential Fatty Acids
  • Hemp Reduces Suffering
  • Hemp Helps Folks With Cancer And AIDS
  • Hemp Helps Folks With Sickle Cell And Alzheimers And MS And Lymes And Asthma
  • Hemp Is An appetite Stimulant
  • Hemp Helps Reduce Nausea
  • Stress Kills. Hemp Reduces Stress

Right now is not too soon to begin the liberation of the hemp plant.

Right now is not too soon to plan for how you and your children will live.

As prices rise and incomes fall in the face of global warming and peak oil I hope it has become unavoidably obvious that profound changes will take place for We The People Of The United States Of America as well as the rest of the world.

The same cartels that bought the criminalization of hemp to increase their profits are now impoverishing the consumers of their products.

Soon enough everyone, and that includes We The People Of The United States Of America, will need to find alternatives for medicines and petroleum products that have become too expensive.

If you have not been affected yet, it is a safe bet that you soon will.

I do not need to tell anyone now dependent upon the pharmaceutical industry for their medicine how expensive medicine has become. Medical marijuana can be produced locally anywhere in the United States Of America.

The Saudi’s now warn that they do not have the oil supply to keep up with future demand. Growth in global supplies is failing to keep pace with growth in demand.

According to Don Paul, Chevron’s chief technology officer, people currently use about 3 billion gallons a day worldwide. Keep that in mind as main stream media trumpets small new oil fields.

The amount of oil left in the big fields may be much lower than is publicly reported and that there is no where else in the world where we can find the oil to make up for the shortfall.

At some point the price of oil will get so high that there will no longer be any economically recoverable oil. When it takes more than a barrel of oil to extract a barrel of oil further oil production becomes pointless.

Its more likely that governments will limit private use of oil before the price of oil gets so high that nobody can buy it anymore. It is certain that those countries with remaining oil will ration exports if they do not keep it all for themselves.

Inexpensive clothing produced in distant sweat shops require oil for their transportation. Soon enough the cost of transportation will surpass the cost of clothing production.

Optimists believe oil is not likely to run out in less than 50 years if demand does not increase.

Others believe that if we cannot gain access to significantly more oil the oil supply will run out in 15 years.

Hemp can be a large part of a peaceful revolution.

Hemp can be medical marijuana, already proved to be potent medicine even within an unreasonably hostile political environment.

Hemp can provide oil and biomass for biofuel and other substitutes for a wide range of petroleum products.

Hemp can produce fiber and pulp for fabrics, building materials and paper products to take the pressure off of remaining forests and agricultural lands now dependent upon oil and natural gas based fertilizers and pesticides.

We can start to make the transition to hemp based products now while we still have affordable oil available. If we wait too long the transition will become unnecessarily difficult and many people will needlessly suffer.

Make a peaceful resolution.

Urge Your Representative to Support H.R. 5842 NOW!

Thank you Nayer for sending us these great videos.

* * * * * Artist’s Statement * * * * *

Support H.R. 5842

Thank you Rep. Barney Frank for this bill, H. R. 5842. Here’s hoping the 110th Congress can do what the 107th (H,R.1344 & H.R. 2592), 108th (H.R. 2233) and the 109th (H.R. 2087), among other restoring the Will of the People bills like the Industrial Hemp Farming Acts of 2005 and 2007, could not do.

This webeo (web video) was created by the USA Hemp Museum.

Richard M. Davis, founder and curator of the USA Hemp Museum , a private museum with a virtual wing, is releasing the second book in his series HEMP FOR VICTORY called WONDER HERB this summer. This book is a breathtaking look from doctors, lawyers, patients and politicians on the subject of how to use medical hemp and why.

Davis’ first book HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION is the who, what, when, where, why and how to use hemp to solve the problem of global warming.

The World Peace Now artwork used on the USA Hemp Museum logo is by Rasta Artist Sherwood Akuna and is designed to show all religions as one.
