Charoltte Hays appears to be insane, lacking any relationship fact-based reality. I, of course, an not saying that she IS insane. She may just be evil . . . Or just paid to have less zero compassion for flesh and blood and even less for government.

Our church's newsletter gave us the definition of torture. The conservative crazies and the blue dog rats are involved in torturing Americans. Yes, we are being tortured daily in our country.

Torture

Torture, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, inflicts: a) anguish of body and mind – b) something that causes agony and pain – c) the infliction of intense pain – any of these violates God’s law “to love one another.”

The conservative crazies and the blue dog rats are inflicting upon you and me - ANGUISH OF BODY AND MIND. They are violating God's law "TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER."

Here is one word that the United States of Mortal Sin must embrace.

Shalom

I have often been asked to describe my wife in one word. How can anyone describe a person in one word? However, if I am to describe my wife in one word, the word is Shalom. On my wife’s sixth-fifth birthday I put together what Shalom is and what my wife desires for our country and the world. I truly believe this is what my wife wants.

Here is what America and the world need in order to attain justice and peace on our planet for all of God’s children. Here is also what I believe God wants for His children and His vision for the world.

Shalom translated means peace but it is much more than peace. Shalom is a vision of social wholeness; a state of well being for all, where everyone has access to the goods of creation intended to meet the needs of all. Shalom is the substance of the biblical vision of one community embracing all creation where all enjoy the resources that make communal harmony joyous and effective.

Shalom is nothing less than God’s intended vision of the world, a dream of God that resists our tendencies for division, hostility, fear, lust, and misery. If there is to be well-being, it will not be just for the isolated and insulated individuals, it is security and prosperity granted to the whole community: the poor, the widow, the orphan, the immigrant, the tax collector and the sinner, the despised and the rejected, young and old, the have and the have nots, the powerful and the dependent. We are in it together. Together we stand before God’s blessings and together we receive the gift of life. Shalom comes only to the inclusive embracing community that excludes no one.

A divided house and a divided community cannot stand. Our present is great and dynamic womb in destiny. We must work together and that is the national and international challenge. We must pioneer a new humanity where each one of us works together for a common good. We will hurt ourselves if we don’t come together and fix what are becoming inter-national, inter-global, and interconnected problems. Are European countries going to work together before America understands what we must do for a better future? Will Europe and other nations on our planet develop more middle classes while America slides out of her middle class? America seems to be adrift in changing American corporations. The keyboard, the computer, and the internet may work to demand democratic values that can begin pushing back on corporate-controlled governments around the world. The keyboard is mightier than the culture of bureaucracy that slows and inhibits political and social progress. America won’t lead the way in e-government. (America’s manifest destiny is to enslave and impoverish ninety percent of her citizens.)

The smaller developing nations, such as Estonia, are one of the most e-government countries on Earth. Each country must create and develop e-governance academies. Watch for the little countries to make the first huge steps! (We are seeing these kinds of actions in the Middle East and that is why America supplies these countries with weapons that suppress descent.)

I wrote a comment on Friday, February 18, 2011 and give some information to enhance justice and peace in the world.

Today, February 21, 2011, is President’s Day. I will be sharing some information with you. I share it with a deep and heavy heart. The final nail in the middle class’ coffin has been attached and the coffin is ready for burial. Wisconsin was the middle class’ last stand. Odds did not favor the middle class. Ninety percent of Americans will have to adjust to a lifestyle of enslavement and poverty.

John Hogue, part one

(The comments in parenthesis are mainly my words.)

The jobless recovery in America I predicted in 2009 must be better understood in 2011. These jobs aren’t coming back. Old-style manufacturing producing them has moved to the developing world – period. Get over it! (Accept the facts of life!) For the next twenty years we will plunge into something a million times worse than a global recession. At any moment, we can trigger the horror by a press of a wrong broker’s keyboard button pushed, a wrong economic policy legislated, the pop of one-too-many returning economic bubbles bursting, the crash of banks too big to fail in a sudden, hot, Depression of a economic thermonuclear meltdown.

In 2008 the limitless global economic growth ended. For the rest of our lives, we won’t see the return of endless growth and ballooning economic opportunities in America. Those days are gone forever. The gravy train is over.

Ben Bernanke is the great inflator. He will crank out more worthless money. Bernanke loves the use of the printing press to print out money, worthless money.

Ultimate recovery from the Great Recession is dependent on all of us learning from our mistakes. (Americans will never learn from their mistakes.) The biggest mistake we can make in the coming decade is not to tie economic reform with reforming how the human race behaves with the Earth and its climate. We cannot be ecologically stupid because this stupidity will break the world’s economies.

The nonsense that is being spouted by the Right becomes more and more insulting as they appear to continue to believe that we're ignorant. We don't have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem. The 800 lb. gorilla in the room is the fact that the highest income "citizens" do not pay their fair share of taxes. To our legislators: stop being owned, stop being cowards, stop being traitors and start collecting more from the rich. Your rationalizations for Draconian spending cuts only hold water until we realize that they're being called for at the same time that you bought and paid for bastards are calling for lower taxes for the rich and for corporations. Serve the people! (Remember the French Revolution, although I'd rather hang you traitors than take your heads. Not so messy.)

Opportunity. The Wisconsin Legislature has essentially been shut down. A situation is forming up in which the Federal Government can also be shut down. In order for corporate to purchase power they need to be forced to step up to the plate and show us the money. What better way to deliver that ultimatum than enroll the Federal politic into the ranks of the temporarily unemployed ?
