Injustices
Addressing, not addressing them

the later is global, as well.
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." ~ Albert Einstein.

Sample Letter To Editor: Deaths of those in all gov't institutions: The fact that inmates are dying in record numbers is indicative of the fact that the Justice system is broken, just as the fact that the death penalty is unfairly applied to lower income citizens and minorities is, as well. Before it becomes the injustice system, it needs fixing. State Initiatives, like Sonny Scroggins in Kansas, which look to establish programs that can independently investigate any death of a person held in institutions by the gov't, can go a long way towards addressing these injustices.
We've a moral obligation as citizens to insure that no person held in institutions of our gov't are abused, or killed. Therefore, there should be a full investigation when anyone dies while in any gov't institution. For, being American isn't only having the rights guaranteed to us by the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, it's also affording
them to others. As well, while rights are being taken away from one, they are slowly being chipped away from all. So, when we are doing our civic duty by insuring the rights of those held in institutions, we're also insuring that our and our families' rights will be upheld.
We must remember Angela Davis' words, "Prisons don't disappear problems, they disappear human beings." Also, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.s', "We're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, effects all indirectly." Lest "we" forget, if you don't exercise responsibility, its Siamese twin sister, freedom, will wither, like a muscle, as well. Also, injustices have costs, if addressed their individual, if not addressed, their global, too. For example, the
U.S. has 5% of the world population, yet, 29% of its prisoners. The number of immigrants in the Federal system grew 90% in the last 7 years, although 98.5% are of them are nonviolent. If we really wish to address the unrest in the world, we have to start in our own back yard, for e.g., violent offenders being cut loose very early to make room for all the 'new' non- violent ones they wish to put into the system. Thank you.
Truly Yours,
- About Me:
- Dear All,
Good day. Thanx for posting, great groups, etc.! I hope you and yours are well and will continue to be. Excellent articles, cool. This post I post routinely :) As well, a partial synopsis of what I've DONE in my lifelong struggle against the death penalty in the last year alone :) A member in dozens of organizations, projects, etc. (several in other countries), that are struggling against the death penalty, globally; and have done advocacy for hundreds of organizations that do the same globally; as well as donating to them, buying their advocacy merchandise and mailing to those I think would be interested, for example, purchased 30 death penalty shirts, most long-sleeved, almost all distributed (at no small expense to me, a diffabled person on a low fixed income with 2 kids); working on the municipal, state, national, international gov't levels to end the death penalty through petitions, demonstrations, conferences (amnesty international faith based for example), online events, hundreds of phone calls, faxes, letters, letters to editors, emails, conversations, postings, et al; which I think would indicate to the rational that I'm struggling for the death penalty to end! D'accord. Yes, all people, as all life, are threads in the whole of the fabric of life, which will always need mending; yet, "we" can't allow it to be torn asunder. The latest trends, since you're interested, though, I've been saying these for decades :) a) The discernments of the prison industrial complexes defacto-slavery (of
inmates mainly) as an historical linkage to, and lineage of (in capitalist terms and plans) the post-slavery period and abolitionist movements charge. As the abolitionists of today are also charged, and taught by that history. Yet, I would add that these movements including the struggle against nuclear war, arms, and energy, are all linked, inextricably, as they have all life, like flies; snared in those webs. b) The re-education, reiteration of humanities evolutionary growth, as charge, and charges as growth, to meet the needs of the 'materialism' defined relation of middle to lower class as no more than those flies, all caught; just when, where, and why, varying. This conception of those classes as food for the military to prison industrial complexes, in a multitude of ways (especially men), thereby all dependent, on all sides, on its growth, is historically linked, and has sociological linkage to the same set of patriarchal sociological definitions of being as the empires of old; ergo, a key to opening the prison of globalization. c) The enabling and perpetuating of these societal cages determined by sociological programming, by other puppets of the corporate structure, like organized religions, academia, etc., underlies the conspiratorial processes efficacy across the broad spectrum of humanity, bound by these
shores, for e.g.. Original sin, poverty as sin, inability to get work as failure, emotional life, communication, coordination and cooperation as weakness and justification for the perpetuation of determination of failure, etc., are some examples. Just as the hypocrisy of their redemption, etc., in supposed Christian dogma, also determines the same in a society where the delusional construct of winning or losing, kill or be killed, predator or prey, user or used prevails; and is determinedly propagated for those purposes, all based on the mothers milk of capitalism, 'materialism', which doesn't even exist. A shaky house of cards they've built, no?
Yet, will "we" break those links in the chain of premeditated mass- murder, when we seem satisfied to only weaken them occasionally? Will "we", be the people that demand a gov't be "of..., for..., and by..."? Or will one man one vote never exist, as they demand? Yet, I know that, in no small degree, what is the only possibility of all that fine stuff happening universally, in reality, is if "we" address the corporate structure's convolutions
global direction of devolution; in a sentence. Without addressing the sociological effects that the causes of the delusional constructs, like 'materialism', have wrought on society at large and small, we would just be manifesting mirror images of the same societal constructions that determined the position the earth finds itself in; at this time. Some would suggest dialectical, dichotomous approaches would be popular, and therefore
pragmatic, in terms of efficacy, Yet, the constraints of the duality of such social scenarios leaves those, and related solutions wanting. More elemental work with perception, discernment of experience, and the study of any and all relations is a minimum; in a word, the evolution. "We" can't avoid the reality, as we can't avoid their machine like mental cells they operate out of, made of walls of delusions, built with bricks of illusions;
technocrats doing away with life, itself. Is there any wonder the extinction of humanity and large mammals is racing towards us from the future, and that we can see it in everything, as clearly as it can be seen on our horizon? What of this study of realism, this common language that binds us and sets us free, can "we" be it; can it be?
Your good sojourning is an important step in the evolutionary path, thanx! Still, we must ask, what do the people do who don't discern la machine's machinations for what they are; and suffer under the yoke of 'materialism', for e.g.. I've found, as you probably have too, that no matter how much losses, nor how much 'they' take away from me, I am my soul, and spirit, manifesting as it does. I've always known 'using', 'having' are illusions, and 'possessing' a delusion, experientially; that knowledge has helped me and all a great deal. For, whose strength is in the arm that outstretched gives another a hand up, no matter how strong or weak the hand of either? I've always known it wasn't mine, or our common humanities', alone. For e.g., we must study to relax, also, if one pushes themselves or
others too hard, reality usually pushes back. The slow-motion blitzkrieg that "we" have
all been facing for decades from the republican conspiracy (which is facilitated by the dempublicans), has been focused on some individuals, groups, demographics more than others, and more or less intensely at varying times; in order for them to facilitate their delusions like 'have it like that', etc., and the division and conquering of a formidable
opposition to it. How, because most or parts of most of that formidable opposition have thought they 'have it like that', and have facilitated their and others evolving processes demise. Now that the republican conspiracy has seemingly successfully taken it to the whole world, life may be realizing it has to stand against it to avert humanities' and large mammals extinction, or even to just slow it down; so, there's hope. Not hope for one, or any group, but, rather, for all people and life, as all life are threads in the whole of its fabric. Yet, it will always need mending, and if my life was just a stitch in time in life's fabric, that may have saved nine, that slowed 'la machine's' 'krieg, then so be it. The losses of humanity and life will be astronomical before the delusional constructs of destruction
and murder, etc., defined as 'power', etc., are dissipated; and reality is left more evident and real than ever before. You know if "we" waste the time to dwell on life's losses, it's time not spent in its defense. You know if someone's not taking bullets, they're making them; a lesson humanity learned from WWII. If "we" don't find the ways, or trailblaze them, to unify in a common direction, albeit only paralleling at times, the evolution, you and I know 'they' will end any hope. You, and I friend, will continue to the breach, singing our own song of fraternity while we appreciate others'...
In closing, here's a question that could easily be said to sum up "we" the people's evolutionary and spiritual dilemma. If the roots of lack of compassion for the diseased, disadvantaged, children, etc. and the en vogue economic tool war, one being psycho-pathic greed, aren't addressed in Western societies sociological programming of their populaces, won't the corporate structure's convolution's devolutionary direction eventually
determine more apathy and social pathos in global society; ergo, less funding for prevention, treatment, and research into curing AIDS, defense of reproductive rights, and opposition to war as a substitute for economic growth and foreign policy, in the long run? Yet, who will entertain it, let alone pose it? What does the fact that it won't be posed, like the question of spiritual relations with others, portend for the existence of whole continents, like Africa, nay humanity itself?
Remember: "We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, effects all indirectly." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.. Mahatma Gandhi, "we must be the changes we wish to see in the world." "Prison is designed to break everyone's spirit and destroy one's resolve. To do this, the authorities attempt to exploit every weakness, demolish every initiative, negate all signs of individuality, all with the idea of stamping out that spark that makes each of us human and each of us who we are." ~ Nelson Mandela. "We" can challenge ourselves and society by challenging defacto-slavery established by the injustice system in the U.S. and everywhere it is? Isn't an important part of that challenging, working towards abolishing their tool of terror which determines most follow their leaders out of fear, if little else? For, we all know the innocent are premeditatedly murdered by the state to that purpose, the death penalty being a tool of the war on freedom.

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

Lest "we" forget, if you don't exercise responsibility, its Siamese twin sister, freedom, will wither, like a muscle, as well. Sadly, now, it first needs to be exorcized before its exercised. Viva la evolution! Music is life's song accompanying the abundance of joy's Spring. "Painting is poetry which is seen and not heard, and poetry is a painting which is heard but not seen." ~ Leonardo da Vinci. Enjoy an estival eve' as you can. I look forward to hearing from you.

Help Mr. Leonard Peltier get the parole he, and humanity, truly deserves, advocate and evoke :)
Leonard has carried a constant burden for all of humanity, for over 34 years straight, graciously, courageously, and with great generosity, and, besides thanking him, we have a responsibility to act, not just to right the wrongs of this world, to act to lessen Leonard's, and those like Leonard's, burdens; they've humbly born for us all. Luckily, "we, the people...", can still be the voice for those unheard; let us do what we can do to support Leonard's parole. Thanx, again. Ciao. :)

Medical Alert Forwarded on Behalf of the Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee
I received a disturbing call from Leonard today. As we know,
Leonard has had a scare with prostate cancer. He is now having
blood in his urine and he desperately needs to have an oncologist
examine him. A general practitioner operating in the prison system
is not sufficient; he needs to be seen by a specialist.
Your support with letters and phone calls to the proper officials is
greatly needed at this time. The urgency is due to his previous
scare of cancer. Only a specialist can determine the state of
his health. According to his medical he is supposed to receive
an exam every three months, but according to Leonard he has only
been seen once a year. How can this be? As everyone knows one
examination can give you warning, anyone who has had a prognosis
or scare with prostate cancer, you need to see an oncologist and
be examined regularly.
He has never received proper medical attentions for his medical
problems, unless this problem is addressed by his supporters he
will not get this matter taken care of. As we found when he did not
have his diabetic supplies last year, until the outcry was so great.
Then they could not deny him.
Please ask the warden at Lewisburg Prison to give Leonard Peltier
the proper medical attention he has the right to.

Lets get him the treatment he deserves.

Subject: Concerning Leonard Peltier, #89637-132
Dear Warden Bledsoe,
Hello. As you may be aware, Leonard Peltier, #89637-132, has had a scare with prostate cancer. He is now having blood in his urine and he desperately needs to have an oncologist examine him. A general practitioner operating in the prison system is not sufficient; he needs to be seen by a specialist. The urgency is due to his previous scare of cancer and his current, urgent, medical needs; only a specialist can determine the state of his health. According to his medical he is supposed to receive an exam every three months, but according to Leonard he has only been seen once a year. How can this be? As everyone knows one examination can give you warning, anyone who has had a prognosis or scare with prostate cancer, that is, you need to see an oncologist and be examined regularly. Again, Warden, please give Leonard Peltier the proper medical attention he has the right to. Thanx. Goodbye.
Truly,

Matutinally Yours,
james m nordlund reality (aja) :)
Hola. I don't know where my comments went, so, I'll start them again. Bravo all, keep up the great work :)
It's said that art has no words, it's of the eye, and yours are, as is your site, work, life, vision. I thought I'd allow a view of some of my latest poetree, so, below are twigs :)
Sole Silences
An echoing inward, within,
Unbeckoning one, unheard,
Unfelt, unknowable, unsung,
Through which only one and a
Universe can unsing co-creation
Being, awakening, without, without.
Stark's
Hunger strike against Iraqi War funding
Going strong, with Medea and Codepink.
"No more funds for war and occupation,
"We..." need healthcare and education".
"12 billion wasted on this war a month,
That's $5000. every second"; trillions
Your grandkids will pay higher taxes for
Their whole lives! Supplemental war
Bill will be voted on in a few days,
Bush wants another 184 million for it,
An unnecessary one, they hope to make
"Unending", Kofi Annan called "illegal";
McCain says, "it may last a 100 years"-
Don't let remocrats rob you, your kids,
Grandkids of their livlihoods, stop war
Funding, stop the war, now, bring our
Troops home; if you support them. Liz
Yelled across the street, "time to go",
Then cops arrested her, we were going
Home, it didn't matter, more police
Crime against free speech. Unlike the
Cries of 10 year old boys not let out of
Fallujah with their families so the next
2 generations of Iraqi men can be killed
Now, "We,...", will not be silenced.
They can't silence the global thundering
Cry for justice, "We, the people...",
Won't let them; tell Congress we want
Our families home. Stop the war, now!
normal
I don't suffer, or, suffer from,
Eurocentrism, northern malaise;
Nor, academia, a blood disease.
Armageddiup
A 60 th: birth of Israel, and Al Nakba, mournful
Remembrance of atrocities in Palestine; you and I.
Two sides of the same coin? Spoils of war, what's
Left for.., after all has been..? Coin of the realm,
The destruction, murder that made it, and sides.
At 16 I said USSR and USA were these sides, racing
Towards each other, the closer they got, the more
Alike…, exigency replacing humanity, globally;
They're them in the Middle East, a mix of la
Machine, beast, et al; extinction incarnate.
Why there won't be anything but their peacing on
Each other, til they can war, waring pays 10 times
More and they broke the sky; as everybody knows?!
They just have to keep the convolutions show going
Long enough, deluding enough, so, you don't be
Change evolution needs; to stop the extermination
Of humanity they dictate. When 100 million are
Dying annually from unnatural disasters, instead
Of 10, when war over food, water, is more common,
And only military rules everywhere; peace will be
A notion, like love conquering all, dwindling moms
Tell kids, only when dads aren't around. Then,
Humanity will be dead, after that, human species,
Large mammals extinct. Why, `cause you believed
Their cons now, like sides existing, to destroy,
Kill, is profit, pleasure, etc.. If they wanted
Peace there would be. Why do the convolutions lies
Fly, `cause you let them. The life is indivisible,
Divide and conquer only works on the divided. Be.
DC WA$H
Assbackwards, just the way the terrible twos,
Bipolar axi, remocrat/totalitarian conspiracy
Like it. The gloves, their collaborators,
Dempublicans, socialists, making humanities
Extermination now, extinction later, reality.
Supposedly, they're diametrically opposed,
While they collaborate in genocide, etc.. War
On every nonremocrat male, from middle-class
To poor, you must be one side, or the other;
Not them, you're the enemy. In capitalist
Society, totalitarians play a supporting role,
As money plays in totalitarian ones; the ol'
Cold war fix still in. Their rabid militarist
Jaws locked on, humanity can't exist until
They're gone. Pedocide programs, remocrats
Pride and joy, one, where military sexually
Abuse kids with potential, who they deem
Won't grow up to be remocrat; target group,
White boys- destroy their competition before
They become it, and adults. All conspiracies
Collaborate with them to varying degrees,
Manufacturing rule by most nazi conspiracy;
And nazism as way of life. We, the people,
Shouldn't grind up the seeds. How did this
Happen, by almost all embracing their
Devolutionary direction, the corporate
Structures, la machines, convolution. Only
Way to change that, is to change everything,
Uplifting all life, devaluing conspiracy in
Everyway, every moment, everyday; feeling.
Thinking through their bricks of illusions,
That make their walls of delusions, in their
Mental cells, their personal hell; human,
Being alival, not, la machines survival- now.
A poems line comes to mind :) "...and death (murder) shall have no
dominion...", Dylan Thomas. Wrote this twig of poetree in a similar
style :)
C'est La Unvie
A million monarchs lie dead, though,
No less sociological programming of
Upper-middle to rich classes with
Decadence, affluence, inclusion, is.
No less societal determination of
Middle to lower, being excluded by
Division and conquering, privation.
Yet, they, on wing no more, still fly
In our spirit's eye, heal humanities'
Heart. While their silent cry echoes
The 33,000 species extinct each year,
A rate not seen since the last ice age
Ensued; does it move you?
Does your curiosity ask why?
Will you, on this 33rd Earth Day, allow
A tear for all life's fallen? Consider
The losses economic apartheid incurs,
Mirrored by the divide human-centricity
Has levied? Our underlying duplicitous
Disregard for life, greed and oil fueled,
Won't abate for our existence, will you?
( For the beautiful butterflies, et tu, mon amis; written one and a
half years before the 33rd. )
