Election Day 2008 Reflections

I just came back from voting. No matter who wins, it’s important to have one’s voice heard in the affirmative. To not vote is to vote by abdication, and is the best way to allow others to assume what your point-of-view actually is.

Recently, I’ve heard some very intelligent men scoff at the idea of voting because, according to them, “it wasn’t going to make a difference.” While I understand, and in some respect, agree  with some of their logic, not voting is still abdication, not only of responsibility, but of one’s power and voice.

Unlike the factions that have cast a Barack Obama presidency as the coming of the antichrist and fulfillment of prophesy (a tag that could have been applied to George W. Bush, in my opinion), I do believe that Senator Obama has struck a positive, and hopeful, resonant chord with a wide  cross-section of Americans (and the world), which bodes well for us all.

The great hole that George Bush dug for America… for the economy, for the value of its currency, and the continuing contribution to its people’s ill-health, is unprecedented. This was not Mr. Bush’s total doing. He took over a healthy appearing economy left by president Clinton, who carried on a long legacy of exploitation that had gone on for so long and become so ingrained into our society, that most Americans still don’t see it.

A few examples:

• Federal Reserve System, successfully abolished by Andrew Jackson (Central Bank in 1833), and recreated in 1913. Big mistake. Here were Jackson’s reasons.

• It concentrated the nation’s financial strength in a single institution.
• It exposed the government to control by foreign interests.
• It served mainly to make the rich richer.
• It exercised too much control over members of Congress.
• It favored northeastern states over southern and western states.

• The Health Care  System. From treatment modalities, to perception management, to payment, Americans are systematically steered toward health care strategies, behaviors, and remediation strategies that work against health. Dependence on pharmaceutical drugs to deal with anything that tests either our knowledge and understanding, or our patience, has turned us into a country of addicts in denial.
• Education System. It should be called the Indoctrination System. Case in point, how memorization is the predominant way to measure intelligent aptitude and individual and creative expression, original or critical thinking, and questioning is discouraged. Even the “extra activities” such as art, music, and even recess (physical education) are disappearing, or have become extinct, in some school systems.
• Religious Thought. In general, another indoctrination system that shows God as an angry, judgmental ego maniacal tyrant, who sets out a very specific “line” that we must tow, else we will have “sinned” and subjected ourselves to condemnation, if not destruction. For many religions, God is someone or something outside ourselves, who chooses sides, and only doles good graces out to “believers” (of <i>that particular religious doctrine</i>) even though <i>all</i> are “His” creation.
• Health Education. We know so little about how the human body works, the mind-body connection in the manifestation of health and disease, and the body’s remarkable ability to repair and restore itself, that we in the Western World willingly make ourselves part of an ongoing medical holocaust, with millions needlessly dying each year from pharmaceutical and surgical treatment to conditions that could be mitigated and even reversed via natural methods. For example, even in this “modern era,” cures for cancer are plentiful, having been proven as far back as 1934 when Raymond Royal Rife developed his frequency-based Rife Machine, a microscope that allowed researchers to watch much higher magnifications of live specimens, and proved, in conjunction with the research of Dr. Arthur Kendall, who created a medium that allowed cultures to be observed under great magnification without killing them, that pleomorphism was a scientific fact, and not a myth. In spite of the hundreds of cancer cases that were cured by the works of these men, medicine’s eventual response (led by Morris Fishbein, then head of the American Medical Association) was to refute, suppress, and destroy their work.

The exploitation continues: Pleomorphism remains to this day, a concept that is only danced around instead of examined in the purest context of Rife’s and Kendall’s confirmed discoveries. Why? Because “the cure” for cancer would be clearly seen as having nothing to do with present-day practices, which themselves have gone unchanged for almost 100 years. Understanding this would mean that all the runs and fundraising events “to fund research for ‘the cure'” (not the cure itself), would be seen for what they are, fundraising and nothing more, while the number of people who needlessly die from cancer and other diseases (stroke, heart disease, etc.) each year continues to rise while true natural approaches that will restore balance to the body (at which point it will “cure” itself) languish in the shadows.

Today, if asked if they would take chemotherapy in the event that cancer struck them, or someone they loved, most oncologists would answer a resounding “no”!

However, after 9/11, Mr. Bush took exploitation to another level, not only in the invasion of Afghanistan and sacking of Iraq (which we have termed “liberation”) looking first for Osama bin Ladin (after giving his family safe passage out of the U.S. when all other planes were grounded in the wake of 9/11) and then “Weapons of Mass Destruction,” but in his willingness to cast fiscal reality and responsibility aside to spend his way to “victory” when in truth, he has simply indebted the People of the United States to the brink of oblivion, all the while, taking precious freedoms away without legislative oversight.

Let it be known that tens, if not hundreds of trillions of dollars have gone in someone’s pocket while on George Bush’s watch. They didn’t even start in ours. They started in someone’s mind, as a need that just had to be fulfilled, and became new entries to the National Debt.

While the post-president Mr. Bush will most likely devote himself to developing a presidential library (probably with a big comic book collection), “the buck” and the responsibility for his actions continues to end with the American People. There’s something wrong with that picture.

So a change of command, and modality, is not coming a moment too soon.
