WRITING - BLUE OCTOBER
Blue October is a month set aside to counter the celebrations of Red October and the Communist ideology.
(For Chris and Colse)
It should be said from the off, that Marxism and any of its ideological subsidiaries, are not humanitarian movements. Their past has been littered with genocidal crimes against humanity; of murdering millions of people, dissenters and dissidents all.
Ideologies
Ideologies have one thing
in common,
Nationalism.
Whether the drug is power
or money...
Nationalism.
Give me an alternative to
ideologies in the name of
freedom, but enforce control
and I will follow.
Your ideologies render you blind
and yet you say you see.
Your ideologies render you deaf and yet
you say you hear the cries of the downtrodden.
Your ideologies turn you heart to stone
and yet you say, we are the compassionate ones.
And to empower this Nationalism
the tool is Statism.
Whether the drug is power
or money,
it’s always Statism.
Whether...
Capitalism, Fascism,
Communism, Socialism,
Corporatism, it’s all
Statism.
Whether the drug is power
or money,
Statism.
Why are we not free?
Statism.
Red October is the celebration of
Statism.
Why bother celebrating a death wish?
Politics is about control through coercion; there is nothing gentle of spirit about this, nothing kind nor gracious.
Politics offers the rod and not the caress; it is far from human in its intents. It mars the human soul, incarcerates it in KZs, Gulags and Laogais.
When we consider all the hurt, the pain and damage done to humanity and to the environment by the pursuers of control, why do we make saints out of demons, of the psychopaths of power?
When all that is offered as an alternative, is the same fruit of the Statist tree, why do we pay allegiance to them? The State is an egregious, anti-human entity, why do you follow in their footsteps and obey their commands?
Don’t you know you are complicit in their hate, in their objections to alternative points of view? Why don’t you question their claims to be the ultimate authority or the last word in truth, power and justice.
Live free and you will show the purveyors of lies to be impotent in the face of freedom.
It’s time to consider the past indiscretions and crimes against humanity and stop sleepwalking to the droning claims from the ideologies of violence.
Live free and those who say they are free, will be shown to be slaves.
Live without the State as a point of reference, the thing that gives your life purpose or meaning.
Live free and all those who are free, will gather around.
When this happens, you will uproot and tear down, you will destroy and overthrow (without violence), with your freedom. And then you will build and plant a new world that is conscious, awakened to the Divine within all...and the demons of ideology without, will fade away.
Blue October is the celebration of
…freedom from the age of slavery.
Strange Fire
There’s a strange fire in the land
and it burns the pages of truth.
There’s a strange fire in the land
and you claim that it lights your Way.
There’s a strange fire in the land
and the hungry are not fed.
There’s a strange fire in the land
and the poor are not given the means to live.
There’s a strange fire in the land
and the homeless are hidden beneath cardboard houses.
There’s a strange fire in the land
and it burns your crops.
There’s a strange fire in the land
because you claim you are purging it of disease.
There’s a strange fire in the land
even when the crop is healthy and the earth is good.
There’s a strange fire in the land
and the truth floats on the air, like ashes.
There’s a strange fire in the land
but the ashes will go where the Wind blows.
There’s a strange fire in the land
where writers are translators of ashes...
and so the truth, lives on.
