Ron Paul Foreign Policy: Mutually Assured Destruction vs Mutually Assured Respect

Doctor Ron Paul, Future President

Foreign Occupation Leads to More Terror

Ten years ago shocking and horrific acts of terrorism were carried out on US soil, taking over 3,000 innocent American lives. Without a doubt, this action demanded retaliation and retribution. However, much has been done in the name of protecting the American people from terrorism that has reduced our prosperity and liberty and even made us less safe. This is ironic and sad, considering that the oft-repeated line concerning the reasoning behind the attacks is that they hate us for who we are - a free, prosperous people - and that we must not under any circumstances allow the terrorists to win.

Though it is hard for many to believe, honest studies show that the real motivation behind the September 11 attacks and the vast majority of other instances of suicide terrorism is not that our enemies are bothered by our way of life. Neither is it our religion, or our wealth. Rather, it is primarily occupation. If you were to imagine for a moment how you would feel if another country forcibly occupied the United States, had military bases and armed soldiers present in our hometowns, you might begin to understand why foreign occupation upsets people so much. Robert Pape has extensively researched this issue and goes in depth in his book "Cutting the Fuse: The Explosion of Global Suicide Terrorism and How to Stop It". In fact, of 2,200 incidents of suicide attacks he has studied worldwide since 1980, 95% were in response to foreign occupation.

Pape notes that before our invasion of Iraq, only about 10% of suicide terrorism was aimed at Americans or American interests. Since, then however, not only is suicide terrorism greatly on the rise, but 91% of it is now directed at us.

Yes, the attacks of 9/11 deserved a response. But the manner in which we responded has allowed radicals in the Muslim world to advance a very threatening narrative about us and our motivation in occupying their lands. Osama bin Laden referred to us as "crusaders" with a religious agenda to convert Muslims, westernize their culture and take control of their resources. If we had targeted our response to only the thugs and criminals who attacked us, and refrained from invading countries that had nothing to do with it, this characterization would seem less plausible to the desperate and displaced. Blaming Islam alone is grossly misleading.

Instead, we chose a course of action that led to the further loss of 8,000 American lives, left 40,000 wounded and has hundreds of thousands seeking help at the Veterans Administration. We are three to four trillion dollars poorer. Our military is spread dangerously thin around the globe, at the expense of protection here at home. Not only that, but we have allowed our freedoms to be greatly threatened and undermined from within. The Patriot Act, warrantless searches and wiretapping, abuse of habeus corpus, useless and humiliating searches at airports are just a few examples of how we've allowed the terrorists to "win" by making our country less free.

Suicide terrorism did not exist in Iraq before we got there. Now it does. There are no known instances of Iranians committing suicide terrorism. If we invade and occupy Iran, expect that to change, too.

Sometimes it can be very uncomfortable to ask the right questions and face the truth. When a slick politician comes along and gives a much more soothing, self-congratulating version of events, it is very tempting to simply believe what we would like to hear. But listening to lies does not make us safer, even though it might make us feel better about ourselves.

The truth is that ending these misguided wars and occupations will make us safer, more prosperous and more free.

All Men Are Created Equal To Jesus

The question to answer is; “how do I penetrate the chaos of the internet and the sleep-state of individual human consciousness to communicate my viewpoint?” First I think you have to ascertain that you yourself are not in a sleep-state. Obviously you see that the general population doesn’t think about much beyond the surface of what is offered to them through whatever media they are exposed to. Author Jan Irvin was on Alex Jones talking about mind control and talking about Trivium Education. During the course of the interview Mr. Irvin went out of his way to make a significant comment to Alex. He told Alex that he had to learn to think without emotions. I think that the solution to your question about communication on the internet lies within your own self and understanding how you receive communication. Your reception of communication is entirely dependent on your emotional attitude about the subject of the communication. It also stands to reason that your emotional attitude colors your own outbound communication.

In order to understand what is “emotional attitude” I want to shift to another angle on this subject. I want to define the true self of a human being through the Declaration of American Independence. To the point – “all men are created equal.” This “self-evident” truth is the cornerstone of Democracy. It is saying that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF HUMAN CREATION. For Thomas Jefferson and the other founding fathers the highest standard of human creation is Jesus of Nazareth. I say this because the Creator referred to by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence and understood by all of the signers of the document, is the Creator who raised Jesus from the dead. What other God would they be referring to? The highest thought here is that God creates all humans as himself. Jesus of Nazareth as a man is the perfect creation of God. Jesus of Nazareth is the best that God can do. God creates all men equal to Jesus. This is the logical conclusion that comes from God being perfect. Logically he can only create perfection. He cannot create a man better than perfect Jesus nor can he create a man less than perfect Jesus and so every human is identically perfect with Jesus. This means that the basic state of mind – the true self – of all humans is identical to the self of Jesus of Nazareth. This state of mind of the self of Jesus is Creative PEACE. You might imagine that the surface of the mind of Jesus is like a perfectly still body of water without a single ripple. There is no tension. The feeling that comes off of the surface of the mind of Jesus is JOY because Joy is the will of God. This means that the natural state of mind of all humans is Peace and satisfaction actively expressing JOY.
What then are negative feelings if logically they do not arise spontaneously from the true self? What is the source of feelings of anger if those feelings don’t originate in the true self? Logically, all negative feelings come from outside of the true self. Defining the source of negative feelings is not important because the fact that they exist is self-evident and so understanding how to deal with these negative feelings is of primary importance. Because your thinking is controlled by how you feel about the subject of your thought it means that negative feelings that come from outside of yourself will displace the good feelings of your true self and create thought in your mind contrary to thoughts that the good feelings from your true self would create in your mind. In other words thoughts that are not from your true self. When your thinking is steered by negative feelings you have become a tool of those negative feelings. Thomas Jefferson referred to the control that negative feelings have on the mind as “tyranny over the mind of man” I’m sure you remember Jefferson’s oath; it’s right there at his memorial. He wrote, “I have sworn upon the Altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man”. He declared his feelings of hostility against the negative feelings of hate, fear, despair, doubt, anger, and stupidity and any other negative feelings that could come up to stand in the way of Liberty..
It is a logical conclusion that the only thoughts that can be trusted as your own are those thoughts that occur when you are feeling your true self which is joy. Thoughts that occur to you under the bias of negative feelings will always be problematic, misleading, and off the point and cannot be trusted. You can only do your best problem-solving when you are being your best self and your best self has no doubt and no fear because your best self is creating joy all of the time. Being in a good mood is being yourself and being in a bad mood is being a hateful version of yourself.
To answer your question as to whether the internet is “dumbing us down” I would respond that the internet is just a mechanical vehicle without any intent and that the mass of humanity is being constantly “dumbed down” by non-human negative feelings that permeate the content of the WEB. Your solution will come from your true self by allowing yourself to feel like yourself all of the time. Real consciousness is the continual realization of your own happiness as the fulcrum of perception. Focusing on happiness as consciousness is the way we all are pursuing Happiness.
On a political level a person of consciousness becomes actionary versus reactionary. Instead of fearing the oppressors and allowing the fear-feeling to create in you imaginations of disasters which then brings you deeper into the circle of fear, dumbing you even more, the solution is to think about the oppressors without fear and allow solutions to their oppressions to occur in your mind and create imaginations of salvation for all mankind. Just the realization that our Creator endows all humankind with freedom and happiness creates a Democratic view of God in our minds in which he is a friend of all of the people. The view of God as a King is what is at the root of all tyrannical regimes and religions including King George’s England of 1776. The concept of God as King comes down through Mosaic Law and has been used by all secular and religious oppressors in the west as a validation of their tyrannical authority. The Declaration of Independence rejects tyrannical authority both secular and religious and rests real authority in the individual person. There are no ten commandments in the Declaration of Independence. There is no hate. There is only freedom to live and be happy.

The American Religion Defined In The Declaration of Independence

The American Religion Defined In The Declaration of Independence

by Timothy F. Ley M.A.

The American Church of Religious Freedom is the name that I have given to the religion of the American people that has existed unidentified within the two "self-evident" truths proclaimed on July 4, 1776 in the Declaration of American Independence.

Two hundred and thirty-four years ago, this July 4th our nation was as Abe Lincoln said in his Gettysburg Address "conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." Out of this famous proposition of equality authored by Thomas Jefferson, emerged the co-principle of dynamic force and direction that states unequivocally in Jefferson’s words that all men are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights..."

Ever since that day, the phrase “all men are created equal” has piqued the minds of great thinkers world wide as to exactly what Jefferson meant by the phrase and likewise every American citizen has at one time or another tried to understand what equality means in America. All Americans know that equality comes with the endowment of “certain unalienable rights” but some Americans are unable to see the reality of Freedom in their lives under the present U.S. government administration.

In this present day, the American people are very much different from the people of 1776. Americans in those days were all Christian and belief in God was their primary fortitude. The thirteen colonies were possessions of Great Britain and all of the people were British subjects. Ever since Henry VIII was declared the head of, the church in England in 1532, that nation had been through a series of religious conflicts between the various Protestant sects and the Church of England and with Catholicism. Many English people that came to America were members of various Protestant sects or they were Catholics that wanted to practice their religion without the overbearing pressures of living in an England wrought by religious turmoil and dominated by a State Religion. The Americans of that day all believed in Jesus Christ – they just differed as to how to practice that belief. Jefferson wrote the Declaration of American Independence under these social conditions. Everybody then knew that Jefferson was writing about the God who raised Jesus from the dead when he used the word “created” and everybody knew that Jefferson’s reference to the “Creator” who endows us with “certain unalienable rights”, refers to the Bible verse in Genesis 1; 27 which says, “And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”

Fifty-six men, representing us here now and all Americans through all time, at that historical congress in Philadelphia, signed their names in unanimous agreement with the Declaration of American Independence authored by Thomas Jefferson. By the agreement of these fifty-six men, we all who claim to be Americans are each and all committed to rest the strength of our nation directly upon belief in the one God who raised Jesus of Nazareth from the dead and on the belief that this one God endows each individual person with “certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

If you look closely, you will see that the two “self-evident" truths are a direct reflection of the Two Great Commandments that Jesus gave when he was questioned about natural law in Matthew 22; 36-40. Listen to these words and at the same time think about the two self-evident truths:

36. Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law? 37. Jesus said to him: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. 38. This is the greatest and the first commandment. 39. And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” 40. On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

It is perfectly clear to me that Thomas Jefferson was inspired by God to translate the two Great Commandments of Jesus Christ into the Law of Freedom upon which this great nation of America rests.

Are we not loving God with our whole heart, mind, and soul when we affirm and acclaim that God creates each of us equal to Himself? Are we not loving our neighbor as our self when we agree that God endows us all equally with certain unalienable rights?

Has not Thomas Jefferson placed us safely in God’s care? Yes, he has because this revelation has been waiting for all of us for two hundred and thirty-four years. This revelation comes to us now because it is now that it is needed and Jefferson foresaw this day when government would lose its way.

We Americans of July 4, 2010 are now confronted in our faith in America because the citizens who are in control of our present government have demonstrated their corruption by overtly and hard-handedly suppressing the freedoms of Americans; by interfering with American farmers’ freedom to grow whatever plants they decide to plant; by making unnatural laws against that which our Creator, who has endowed us, has made holy – Cannabis for example; by giving aid to enemy regimes (like Saddam Hussein) and making American citizens pay for such treasonous aid; by making alliances with enemies of Freedom; by engaging in unjust wars and causing the death of innocent people; by causing the needless death of American soldiers in wars of aggression against the peace and liberty of the American people thereby violating the very principles that are set forth in the Declaration of American Independence. The regresses for such violations by any government are clearly declared when Jefferson’s words blare forth as a command to all Patriots:

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

We have reached a juncture point in the expansion of American Liberty where any “tyranny over the mind of man” needs to be swept aside as “destructive” of the end purposes of Liberty. Thomas Jefferson clarified his thinking about unalienable rights when he wrote in 1786 in his Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom that “the rights hereby asserted are of the natural rights of mankind, and that if any act shall be hereafter passed to repeal the present or to narrow its operation, such act will be an infringement of natural right.”

The agreement signed by those fifty-six Americans is the embryonic foundation of the political system upon which our nation is to be constructed. These defining conditions of our Democracy are spiritual in nature and constitute the “Spirit of America”. Taking the “self-evident” truths in a strictly literal sense brings forth a religion of freedom. The Cambridge Dictionary says, “Religion is the belief in and worship of a god or gods, or any such system of belief and worship.” The words that define the religion of the American Church of Religious Freedom are clearly stated when it is written in the Declaration of American Independence that, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The fifty-six signers of the Declaration of American Independence clearly and unanimously established “belief in and worship of a god…” in declaring the two “self-evident” truths.

Is it not belief and worship to recognize and acclaim God as the author of our existence and of our life in His creation and to recognize and acclaim that this one God endows each one of us with “certain unalienable rights” which in fact means a primary right of unrestricted Religious Freedom? Does not Religious Freedom encompass all freedoms? A citizen's life is freedom of religion because the citizen may define all personal actions as the expression of his or her own religion. As long as my actions do not violate another citizen's freedom I am free to live as I see fit and do the things that I deem necessary for my happiness.

The establishment of this unique American religion as the basis for our Democracy is a divine act of God which touches each American individually and offers every American haven and protection against “every form of tyranny over the mind of man” (Tom Jefferson). “Tyranny over the mind of man” is recognized in our present day American political leaders. They enact and support laws that are contrary to the natural law of Freedom because they are godless in their thinking. Their thinking does not joyfully reflect the goodness and mercy of the One All-Loving God who created us equal to Himself and endowed us with equal "unalienable rights" but rather their thinking reflects the twisted and unnatural impulses of self-destruction that are unceasingly projected by Satan upon all men. I am confident that Tom Jefferson was thinking of 1Peter 5; 6-9 when he made his oath. The Apostle Peter says this:

6. “So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. 7. Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you. 8. Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for (someone) to devour. 9. Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your fellow believers throughout the world undergo the same sufferings”.

I believe that this statement by the Apostle Peter matches The U.S. motto, “In God We Trust”. The only way freedom can rein supreme over our land is for each American to trust in the Creator, be confident in the two "self-evident" truths, at the same time be wise enough to recognize the evil influence that Satan has over the mind of man, and not allow that influence to tyrannize their own mind.

We free ourselves from this Satanic “tyranny over the mind of man” by joining Thomas Jefferson in his sacred oath the words of which are etched into the stone around the rotunda of his memorial in Washington, DC. - “I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” - It is obvious to me that Tom Jefferson recognized that the enemy of freedom was the age-old enemy of humanity – Satan - and that the battleground was in every man’s mind. Jefferson knew that freedom was a mental state of peace and good will towards all men. Is not the ultimate aim of American Democracy that is declared in the Declaration of American Independence, to live in peace and harmony without fear by placing our complete trust in the God revealed in the two "self-evident" truths? The God of the “self-evident” truths judges all men equal to Him and sentences them all to eternal freedom in Joy. There is no condemnation in the God of America – there is only equality and freedom of eternal Life in Joy.

The religion unknowingly established by the founders of our great nation, is the mental tool for Americans to use to free their minds from Satan’s fearful grasp. By prayerfully contemplating, the "self-evident" truths of Holy Creation and Sacred Endowment, Americans can commit to trust in God and make themselves feel the Joy of Liberty under God. It is the feeling of Joy that is undefeatable in a man. Is it not always true that Joy is Fearless? How can a man feel anything else if he is feeling Joy? The man joyous in the Creator cannot be enslaved by evil. The courage and strength of America comes through the Joy of the American people.

I would like to note here that the “Joy of Liberty under God” must first exist as a desire visualized in the heart of each American citizen. What I mean is that you must force yourself to feel Joyful immediately, knowing that it is not only logical to feel continuously Joyful because of your trust in God but also it is the wise thing to do in order to prevent “any form of tyranny over” your mind. Your agreement to accept God’s endowment requires you to feel Joy as a demonstration of your trust in God. Your joy will attract others to you so you may tell them about the American religion found in The Declaration of American Independence.

You have nothing to worry about if you hope and trust in God. That which stops you from being worry-free and feeling Joyful is what Thomas Jefferson refers to as the “tyranny over the mind of man” which means satanic influence of fear and doubt. Your holding the truths of personal creation and endowment by God as "self-evident", is the Joy that overwhelms all tyranny over your mind. There is no doubt in Joy – There is only Faith and confidence in Joy. Command your mind to be joyful at all times and let yourself be a Patriot in thought, considering the two "self-evident" truths as your reason for action, dedicated to honoring the Creator and dedicated to respecting the "unalienable rights" of all citizens.

My conclusion about this truth of the religion existing in the Declaration of American Independence is that for an American to ethically claim for himself or herself the “certain unalienable rights” stated as “self-evident” truth, he or she must consciously recognize and acclaim the Divine nature of the Declaration of American Independence and consciously recognize and acclaim the spiritual relationship that is established between every citizen with God. The spiritual relationship between the individual citizen and all other citizens is expressed, as “E Pluribus Unum” which applied here to Americans would translate as “one person out of many persons”. I know that many people interpret the ‘Unum” as meaning one nation out of many people but that is not a well thought out conclusion. Clearly, the application of the phrase by Thomas Jefferson would refer to one person as the ideal standard of unity out of all persons, namely Jesus Christ. The concept of the “mystical body of Christ”, in which Christ is the head of the body and all humanity are the members of the body is a basic tenet of all Christian Faith. Applying the concept here in the two “self-evident” truths reveals that God creates all humans equal to Jesus Christ, with the same rights and authority as Jesus. This reminds me of what Jesus said to the Jews when they got mad about him saying that he was the son of God. Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your law: I said you are gods?” (Matt 10; 34).

The practical application of “E pluribus Unum” to myself as a citizen is that I think of myself as Jesus and in that state of mind I then think of each other citizen as Jesus. From such a viewpoint, I then act accordingly, exercising my freedom without interfering with the freedom of another citizen. From such a viewpoint, I mind my own business and do not question another citizen’s personal beliefs nor try to impose my beliefs on another citizen. I am free to speak my mind and that is the only tool of influence that I value and use in my relationship with other citizens. Under such social conditions of an enlightened free people, the only responsibility of a government is to protect all citizens from theft or harm or any impedance to their liberty. This condition of Freedom does not exist in America today because the government seeks to invade the personal freedom of Americans under the pretext of protecting them from supposed evils that the government has in fact, created out of their treasonous actions.
“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” How, you may ask, may I aid my country? I believe the first thing needed is to take off the fearful blinders of National security imposed upon all Americans by the government and corporate controllers of our society who use all means available whether by guile or force, to manipulate the American people’s lives to comply with the needs of production. These controllers use the media to manipulate the mood and perceptions of the American people. They train us to believe that conformity with the system of commerce and profit is the right thing to do and they condition us to believe that individualism of mind is not normal. Any human activity that interferes with production is pronounced evil and punishable; Morality is dictated by bureaucrats whose minds are tyrannized by satanic urgings of self-destruction. The hearts of these controlling citizens are corrupted into hate of all that is true and good and their minds construct ideas of death and destruction seeing that as the way for America to survive. They place no trust in God because they do not know God. They live among us, pretending politely to be our friends but when they are alone their minds are steeped in schemes and manipulations tyrannized by Satan. Ask these citizens if they think that God approves the execution of a citizen and they will say it is so, which proves they have twisted in their minds the unequivocal truth of every citizen's unalienable right to life. If you accept the religion of freedom, which God has endowed us with, then you act as Jesus and you respect the right to life of all Americans with no exceptions. My God is the Giver of Life and does never take life away. My God creates me eternally equal to Him in all things and He endows me with His own Self, which I am. I know that all other humans are the same as I am

I submit to all Americans, that you must accept this Religion of Freedom, approved by the Founding Fathers of America and you must be wise by willing your entire being to accept and acclaim this Religion with open arms and a joyful spirit. By doing this you become a soldier of freedom, ready to defend this nation against “every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” The weapon you have as a soldier of freedom in America is your free speech and your Joy. Speak to your fellow citizens about the reality of the Religion of Freedom proclaimed in the Declaration of American Independence. Join the American Church of Religious Freedom in the solitude of your own mind and heart by accepting and acclaiming what the Creator has done.

For those of you who would say “I don’t believe in God” - by your own words you deny your unalienable rights. Better that you say nothing, or else real Americans will reject you as un-American because you deny the source and power of American Democracy – God.

Americans! – Rethink your lives in accordance with the two “self-evident” truths. Rescind all laws against individual freedom including all laws against Cannabis. The Creator who has endowed us with his person makes all things holy including Cannabis. "And the Angel said to Peter, 'Do not call profane what God has made holy!'" (Acts 10; 15.)

Anti-Cancer Cannabis Solves Japanese Worldwide Radiation Threat

View the above video on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw65-CmVpjU

The Cannabis Solution To The Worldwide Radiation Threat

Because of the nuclear disaster in Japan, all life on earth is under threat from ever-increasing permanent levels of nuclear radiation. The increased radiation levels attained will persist for hundreds or even thousands of years so we humans must accept the fact that we all will reach a point where the radiation will reach levels in our bodies that will cause cancers to form.

There is nothing anyone can do to stop this disaster from continuing. There is no way we can remove the dispersed radiation from our atmosphere. From a current common scientific viewpoint we and our children are all screwed.

There is only one substance on the face of the earth that can provide a permanent solution to the radioactive effect on human life. That substance is THC.

The primary threat of radiation to humans is the formation of cancerous tumors that come about from radiation damage to the cell structure which cause the cell to not die but continue to propagate into a tumor. Experiments have demonstrated that when a THC molecule enters a cell it discharges a signal into the cell. This signal is essential a “balance” signal. If the cell is normal and healthy it continues to be normal when THC enters. However, IF THE CELL IS CANCEROUS the THC signal causes the cancerous cell to “remember” to die by causing the release of a chemical which causes the cell to consume itself to death.

What this means is that if we flood our bodies with THC molecules, then any cancerous cells will be killed before they even got going. This is the only permanent solution to the radiation threat. Before you say no to this solution, think about it that it will definitely save some people from cancer whcih is better than saving no people.

Every part of Cannabis is food for humans and essential for human life. All humans need to consume THC immediately. The radiation levels are now high enough to affect you. Save your life and the lives of your loved ones by embracing Cannabis and consuming THC every day. This is a matter of life or death.

Active Component Of Marijuana Has Anti-Cancer Effects, Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (Apr. 9, 2009) — Guillermo Velasco and colleagues, at Complutense University, Spain, have provided evidence that suggests that cannabinoids such as the main active component of marijuana (THC) have anticancer effects on human brain cancer cells.

In the study, THC was found to induce the death of various human brain cancer cell lines and primary cultured human brain cancer cells by a process known as autophagy.

Consistent with the in vitro data, administration of THC to mice with human tumors decreased tumor growth and induced the tumor cells to undergo autophagy. As analysis of tumors from two patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (a highly aggressive brain tumor) receiving intracranial THC administration showed signs of autophagy, the authors suggest that cannabinoid administration may provide a new approach to targeting human cancers.

Cannabinoid action induces autophagy-mediated cell death through stimulation of ER stress in human glioma cells

Prooving The Existence of God - Smoking Marijuana

PROOVING THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

When I was a youth I went to Catholic schools all the way up through college graduation. I grew up around nuns and priests and in high school and college most of my teachers were Irish Christian Brothers. I was steeped in Catholic Theology and Philosophy when in college and spent many a long hour at lunch in the cafeteria talking with my friends about philosophical issues. We were taught “Thomistic Cosmology” which is based upon Saint Thomas Aquinas’s proof for the existence of God. What I remember back then is that the proof of God seemed simple enough – the notion of the “unmoved mover” – and I really didn’t bother much with the logic because I accepted the existence of God as a natural reality. It was only after I got out of graduate school and went to work for IBM and established my own household and family that I began to take my college thinking further.

I realized that I did not understand life and death very well. I had read an incredible amount of information but had no tangible evidence for the existence of anything outside of what I had thus far experienced with my senses throughout my life. In August of 1967, while I was working as a Systems Engineer for IBM on Madison Avenue in New York City, I smoked my first joint of marijuana. From that point on my life shifted focus from the obvious to the truthful. My metaphysical focus shifted from Western culture to Eastern culture and I began to see strong cross-links between the two. I had already begun meditating in 1963 and now I expanded it to explore ZEN meditation and Hindu meditation. I began to take LSD regularly in August of 1968 and on March 26, 1969 I had an experience that I would describe as meeting God alone and hearing his voice. Needless to say all philosophizing about the existence of God had become moot and now my quest was to understand everything in the light of the real existence of the person of God. I was set on understanding how to explain reality to myself knowing God as I did which was as a benevolent father whose will was always love for me. I knew that God was all-good and I had the task of explaining how all the horror of human suffering could exist in a world created by a good God.

When people reject the idea of the existence of the Giver of Life – of God – they are rejecting their own negative concept of God which sees God in a monstrous light – as if he is the source of human suffering and is in fact waiting for the sinners to fall into Hell so that he can make them suffer for not following the ten commandments. I don’t blame someone for rejecting such a God because rightfully so God does not punish – ever. Unfortunately the real God, who is ever so sweet, is not even considered for rejection by atheists. This situation of conditioned thinking in the people of America to believe that if there was a God he is the God of the Jew – of law and punishment, placed me in an awkward philosophical position. I had to figure out how to not only prove that God exists but also to prove that the God that exists was not the God conceived by Moses but the God of the Declaration of Independence who created us equal to himself and endowed us with unalienable rights and placed no commandments on us but only gave us Life and freedom to pursue Happiness without any Jewish proscribed moral restrictions.
It’s a lot easier proving the existence of moral-free God who never condemns anyone than prove the existence of the God of the Jews. A moral-free God needs no morals to be God and so man only needs to love God to be free from all rules. If a man loves God completely he needs no rules because by his love he is being God.

The simplicity of the metaphysical proof of God is in accepting the absolute strict rules of logic and in accepting that all things are unique in the conditions of their existence, Each unique thing can be seen as itself when all the conditions of its existence are present and so it has a conditioned reality only known when all of its conditions are present. Since a thing is not a thing until all of its conditions of thingness are present this means that its conditions of thingness come into existence when the thing exists and not before. This means that the thing could not have brought itself into existence because it does not exist before itself. How then can you explain its existence beyond saying that it exists? Logically there has to be some outside force that is fulfilling conditions of thingness and responsible for bringing into existence the thing. Even if you were to say that everything has always existed you know that it isn’t true because just the fact that you can think that there was existence of no-time and no-space proves that you can’t discount the fact of the existence of existence itself completely free of matter. Existence is not dependent on matter but rather contains matter and time and space so it is logical to conclude that there is existence outside of everything. That Existence is simultaneous to my thought of it and therefore can be concluded to be the source of thoughts existing outside of physical reality. Consciousness itself then is the proof of the existence of God because thoughts alone exist intangibly in every human and transcend individuality. Concluding then that the consciousness that I experience exists outside of creation and is in fact the singular person of God I can then understand that my thoughts that God exists as an individual person outside of creation come from God’s consciousness which I realize is my consciousness. This is as much “proof” that God exists as you will ever get but take it from me by always looking in that direction of an all-loving God of Joy you will eventually experience the Holy Spirit of God in person and only then will you “believe” in God.

I should like to say that the only way you will come to understand the concept of God is by freeing your feelings from fear, doubt, anger and all “negative” influences and only allow yourself to feel feelings of wellness, joy and satisfaction. Then try to imagine what God would be like as you focus on feeling joyful. You will imagine a God that is so cool you will know his will is love and mercy and his kingdom is joy. When you think about God from a joyful feeling you know that God has no condemnation and no will of punishment; you know that God does not judge because he created all men equally perfect without flaw and thus has no need to judge what he has already made holy forever. In feeling joy you can know that God is the God of the Declaration of Independence who creates us equal to him and endows us with unalienable rights and no restrictions at all on those rights. There are no ten commandments in the Declaration of Independence but there is freedom without rules in loving the all-good God without reservations.

The people who say they do not believe in God are in a minority in America and technically speaking do not have unalienable rights because they deny the source of those rights which the majority of Americans accept as self-evident truth that that source is the God who raised Jesus from the dead. These atheists are immature in their thinking ability compared to great minds like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. This self-centered narrow-mindedness is the product of unhappiness and is symptomatic of a condition that can best be medically described as “below normal cannabinoid levels”. This explanation for unhappiness is leading edge science in 2011 as scientists in every discipline of medicine and biology are recognizing the pervasive effect of the Endocannabinoid system over all other systems of the body. Most importantly the Endocannabinoid system controls mood and balanced levels of cannabinoids maintain a balanced mood of feeling good. Low levels of cannabinoids cause an imbalance in the Endocannabinoid System which causes a feeling of unhappiness in your psychology which is the same as the feeling of hunger that your body experiences when it is low in food. Unhappiness is the body’s signal of hunger for cannabinoids. Ingesting cannabinoids from the Cannabis plant will re-establish the balance of the Endocannabinoid system shutting off the feelings of unhappiness as a result of filling up on cannabinoids.

Finally I present this 30 minute video which is a summary of the metaphysical proof for the existence of God. It is a lecture by a Catholic Jesuit theologian named Robert J. Spitzer S.J., Ph.D. He does a fairly good job of presenting the logic of the proof but at one point he makes a completely illogical comment when he says that we could be in a lot of trouble if God forgot about us for an instance. He should not have said such a thing because it is impossible for God to not create. Anyway I suggest you watch the video a few times straight through without stopping because your mind will start getting used to the kinds of words and phrases Fr. Spitzer uses to communicate his truth.

The Death Penalty Contradicts The Unalienable Right To Live

The Death Penalty Contradicts The Unalienable Right To Live

by Timothy F. Ley M.A.

I was aware of the “death penalty” issue when I was very young. I grew up in an Irish-Catholic community in the post-World War II Bronx and went to Catholic schools through college graduation. It was a no-brainer to me, that willfully inflicting death on any human being was against God. After going through Catholic college under the Irish Christian Brothers and studying Theology and Philosophy with other men of like mind I found myself at the extreme liberal end of philosophical Catholicism and at that well-thought-out perspective I recognized the evil of the death penalty. I recognized, of course, that logically God was the “Giver of Life” and therefore would not “give death” by authorizing anyone to have the power of death over anyone else. I also recognized that no government should have the right to kill anyone because in itself the authority of death will pervert that government into using death as a political tool.

I had also derived a third perspective beyond the theological and political perspectives. This perspective is to view whatever social issue you want to understand from the viewpoint of how it affects all of humanity, not just one part. Simply put – “The survival of all humanity is the purpose of all humanity”. Under this perspective the idea of killing any member of humanity is contradictory to the survival of all humanity. Death of one human by another is inhuman. Let me give you a simple example of how an inhuman act is contrary to the survival of all humanity. Let us suppose that we have a theoretical person who has within him the ability to solve the problem of aging. I am saying that this person possesses the potential secret of life over death. Now supposing this person causes the death of another person and is convicted and sentenced to death. If this person is executed then the secret will never have been found and what would have been the salvation of all humanity is destroyed with the life of that person. Ask yourself if that is a sensible thing. I would say that based on this one scenario the death penalty should be ruled as anti-human and alien to our American democratic principles expressed in the Declaration 0f Independence.

The Declaration of Independence expresses in its two “self-evident” truths the fullness of theological, political and humanical truth. Bringing all three arguments together into one statement is the genius of Thomas Jefferson. Let me review the essence of Americanism. “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Very simply put in regards to the death penalty; Life is an “unalienable” right. What this means is that anyone who claims to be an American of the Declaration of Independence must respect the right to live in everyone without exception. If you look deep within this thinking you will see the political intelligence of removing the tool of the death penalty from the hands of any human authority including our own government. It is obvious in present day society that the death penalty has been broadly misused across our nation just based on the many cases of wrongful conviction exposed by DNA testing. Our prisons are filled with two groups: blacks and drug criminals. Both these groups are political purges. Allowing any group to have the power of life and death over any individual or group of individuals is contrary to the principles of American freedom. As Americans we cannot allow our government in any form to have the right to take someone’s life or restrict someone’s freedom. The recent attitude that our government has had about the “Wikileaks” revelations shows that the government has separated itself from the people and exposed itself as an oligarchy comprised of individuals whose political principles are inimical to individual American freedom even calling for the DEATH PENALTY against people that leak information about the secret doings of the U.S. government. The only restrictions that should come upon an American’s freedom are those restrictions that the American puts upon himself or herself in violating another American’s freedom by theft or harm. To allow a government to make up a bunch of unprincipled, capricious restrictive laws against the unalienable liberties of Americans, beyond the necessary laws that come from the “theft or harm” violations of American freedom, is to allow that group of individuals who control that government to control the politics of American society by its own agenda driven by its own self-interests as the “controlling” group of the government. It now has the political tool necessary to suppress dissent. Essentially the government criminalizes political dissent and incarcerates millions as a result. As it eliminates dissenters through control and incarceration it increases its own power by expanding its personnel to take care of the dissenters. A prime example of this form of political action by a government regime is the “War on Marijuana”. Through this ploy the government has been able to suppress the voting power of millions of Americans. Since Nixon’s launch of the war in 1972 there have been over 20 million Americans arrested for possession of marijuana. This was (and is) an obvious political purge of a targeted group of Americans. The inertia of this illegality is still going strong today as reflected in the massive anti-drug war machine comprised of millions of government-sponsored individual soldiers permeating the entire society in every police department, sheriffs department, prison, jail, drug rehab program, government program, corporate program and everywhere you can think of. Everyone of these anti-drug soldiers – whether full-time or part-time – are earning their living from helping the government suppress individual freedoms. All of these people in the “anti-drug army” only care about earning their money, getting their health care and retirement and having the “American Dream”. They want to keep their economy which is to produce no economic value at all in their work but only cost the American people money. The anti-drug army has effectively taken control of the government by its economic dependence on keeping freedom to use drugs suppressed. As long as drugs are a crime the government can continue to expand. This is where there is too much government and this excessive government can be shown as the primary cause for the economic collapse of the United States of America. What has been the result of 38 years of the drug war? When I say result I can only be referring to cost versus benefit. The drug war has cost hundreds of billions of dollars and has produced no benefit for America. As a matter of fact the drug war has caused nothing but harm and has created a crime world of its own manufacture that costs Americans billions of dollars every year to fight. The government has created a problem that it then uses to extend itself into larger government (the drug-war machine is over-large government at its max and it is expanding daily).

What is the obvious solution to over-large, controlling, tyrannical, murderous government? Make the size of the government smaller than the Declaration of Independence and return control of society to the American people. What do I mean by this? I mean that the freedom of each American and the protection of that freedom should be the basis of an American government. The only laws necessary are those that deal with violations of individual American freedom by theft or harm. Literally the government should act on our part to protect our individual freedom from interference domestically or interference from any foreign power. It’s pretty simple that we only need police to protect individuals from real criminals and we only need armed forces to protect Americans from world criminals. On a world scale we reduce government by removing all of our armed forces from every foreign country in the world and by removing all of our weapons from all foreign countries. We disavow all agreements and treaties with all foreign countries because agreements with enemies of American freedom defined in the Declaration of Independence are treasonous. We establish a firm policy of giving only humanitarian aid to foreign countries. As to any military aid we establish a condition of statehood required. In other words we open up applications for statehood to the entire world. If any country wants the protection of the U.S.A. then that country will have to become a state of America. This should be the condition of empowerment for all foreign nations - membership in the United States of America union. Only by accepting the authority of the two self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence which state that our lives and our right to be free comes from, as John F. Kennedy said in his Inauguration speech, "from the hand of God", only then can you not be an enemy of America. In order to legally and truthfully accept Americanism as a nation of people that nation must follow normal procedure and apply for statehood. Other than that it is against the freedom of all Americans to give non-humanitarian aid to any nation on the earth without exception. The whole world will become us because we will never give up our divine freedom and become the world. The truth of the Declaration of Independence is the final truth of human freedom.

"The rights of man come... from the hand of God." - John F. Kennedy

You can't do better for humans than basing a political system of government upon the God-given sanctity of individual American freedom. The death penalty is a denial of that sanctity and any person that goes along with the death penalty is a traitor to American freedom. This whole argument applies equally to abortion because what is it other than the death penalty being enacted against a helpless American when you willfully execute an unborn American. The self-evident truth "that all men are created equal" would logically conclude that the human creation point which is right before conception is equal to all points of human creation, which is to say that a fully mature human is exactly equal to a freshly created human zygote and visa versa. It is treason to commit an abortion and to kill an unborn American.

"For I have sworn before you and almighty God the same solemn oath our forebearers proscribed nearly a century and three quarters ago... And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebearers fought are still at issue around the globe... The belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God."

John F. Kennedy 1/20/1961
