McConnnell and Graham Were Never Alive

People are spending way too much time thinking about two dead Senators. As if their disappearance is some important mystery. As if they were ever alive.

They weren't. Their bodies may have functioned and they were vertical. Now they are horizontal. That's the change and it isn't a big one.

We were also suppossed to believe that they were important. There were never any two "people" who were less important than them. They did nothing but fill roles easily filled by other zombies. It's the roles that were and are significant.

The tragedy is when real living people, people who were fully alive and participating in the wonders of human existence, are murdered senselessly by foolish and cruel automatons.

Let's forget the nobodies.

Let's think about those who were murdered. Let's also think about the living. Let's think about what we could be and what we could do. Let's remember Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Let's ponder people, real people who LIVED, who loved their families and who experienced curiosity and wonder and joy and even sadness. People who were capable of feeling.

People like Joan Sebastian Guerrero. And Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

Our concern and attention should exclude the cult of zombies. They are not worth our time or attention. And they are especially unworthy of our concern.

What WE Can and Must Do

The zombies have no real use, but we can still make use of those assholes to remind us to LIVE FULLY NOW. To be the exact opposite of them. To love one another. To embrace life and to reject everything the evil often vertical dead stand for. To rescue the planet they are murdering. To put a stake through the "heart" of the evil systems of plutocracy and fascism that sustains them.

We can choose LIFE and, through withdrawing our attention, our obedience, our labor, and our time, end their evil. Because Lindsay Graham and Mitch McConnnell didn't fly warplanes and drop bombs. They didn't fire the guns that murder our friends and neighbors in our communities. They didn't steal our money and force us to waste our lives in endless worthless labor making soulless wealthy morons richer.

No. WE provided and continue to provide all of their so-called "power."

Working together, McConnell and Graham were incapable of making a sandwich. They were as helpless alive as they are today.

WE did everything for them. Our friends, relatives and neighbors operate their concentration camps and act as their enforces. WE are performing murders for them. They can't do that. They are dead and incapable of anything except tricking us into doing evil for them.

Here's the thing. We can stop and end all this. We can begin today. In fact, we have begun and we are already on the road to freedom and sanity. But we need to speed up.

 The Life We Choose

We have no choices because we believe we have no choices. That's the trick being played on us.

The reality is: we and ONLY we have the power. We create everything. We invent. We build. And, sadly, we perform evil acts on behalf of our oppressors. This tragedy is also the key to our salvation.

We can do so much. We can not only end this evil so-called "civilization", but we can have a truly humane society where we can LIVE our lives—together in amity—and NOT waste them, exhausted working stupid "jobs" until death.

Our Nature is NOT to be greedy, competitive and dangerously chaotic in need of "control." It is, in fact, the control and the controllers that ruin everything. Are you a kind person? Or an asshole?

Do you think you are special, an abberation and everyone else is evil? Whether you believe it our not, you are mostly kind and the vast majority of the billions of people on this Earth are very much like you.

There's a few thousand greedy, soulless assholes who have taken control, using YOU and YOUR power to destroy billions of lives and to poison the planet. They themselves have no more inherent power or ability than a senile old man. In fact, they are led by a senile old man.

Wake the hell up! This nightmare is one of our own making and we can end it.

It's not that hard. It doesn't require absolute unity, a giant completely coordinated organization and a flawless strategy. The idea that ending evil is that difficult is a LIE, and that lie is one of the things that keeps us in chains.

Just withdraw cooperation—even a little bit. Every day. Just speak out, speak the truth, speak from your heart. Just a little. Every day.

There are billions of us. If even a few percent do this, it will embolden others and gather strength and become unstoppable. Because evil doesn't require a violent revolution to be defeated. It requires people to STOP serving them and to start doing something else.

Like growing and sharing food. Like taking time off from work to play with your children. To look at the stars at night and wonder. To walk with your dog in the park. The secret of life is to live it.

Forget their systems and how complex everything is. All of that is a lie. We don't need systems. We know how to live and how to care for ourselves and each other and our planet. We already do all the work. We are the ones who are capable. We are and have always been the power.

Let's trust our hearts and instincts. Let's not follow anyone or anything except our consciences. As humans, we win by being ourselves. C'mon.

Siilent Statement

We can speed things along, change the culture and weaken the evil systems that oppress us by taking moments of our day to look inside. To stop and be quiet. To think and to feel. To remember who we are. To remember to BE ALIVE.
