As I am watching the Next Generation in Star Trek...I was thinking about how great it will be when we arrive and achieve this kind of society. Yet, observing our current society, it feels like the Cold War all over again, with thoughts of continual fighting till we get tired of them and move forward...or mutual destruction.
Currently there are two well publicized wars...the war on drugs and the war on terrorists. The longer we allow this to occur, the more likely the less talked about wars will continue...such as the racial wars and gender wars. If we allow any type of "Authorized War"...there will be people who feel their wars are just and will do all necessary to succeed.
War is never the answer...and defending yourself is not war...yet actively hunting down people is such an aggression on humanity, it will destroy the spirit.
Which we are currently seeing, with all the violence occurring...and telling one group of people not to use violence all the while using violence to eradicate anyone associated with a different way of thinking. This only begets more violence. It is a vicious cycle that consistently reappears...mainly because it generates revenue for the elitist.
The baby boomers realized this and came up with "Love not War"...well it is time for the next generation to tell the baby boomers "Equality for All"
And not to suck a dick to ease some pissed of misogynist male from being violent.

As I was reading a news article from the New York Times about America using special ops personnel in Somalia...I began thinking how USA are going around from country to country and changing their governments to a democracy...however the democracy seems to be ran by money rather than the people. As they say money talks and people walk. Once the USA is able to change the country's political structure, they put UN in positions to advise, thus controlling the rule of law...which, in theory sounds great, however power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Currently, the UN and USA along with other western society does not live by the laws they are now forcing these occupied countries to follow. As of now, I have read recently the USA is currently having military operations in 7 countries...trying to free the populace from dictators to democracy...yet as evidence by the actions taken by the USA government, the voice of the people is not being heard.
Citizens are being killed by their own police with huge support by the vast majority to demilitarize their equipment and end lethal tactics. The killing of individuals without due process by the disguise of a war on terror, thus not allowing the opportunity to defend themselves in a public venue. The silencing of this message and others by not allowing independent political party's, that have an electoral ability to win the presidency, into the national presidential debates to expose this truth. The polluting and destruction of our environment to continue a policy of fossil fuel energy paradigm, against the voice of not only the citizens and scientist, but the vast majority of the rest of the planet. The incarnation of citizens for nonviolent crimes, protesters and whistleblowers.
As examples of the above is evident by the Black Live Matter movement, the Drone killings in the Middle East, closed National President Debates, the Paris Environmental Agreement that does not start taking effect till 2020, the War on Drugs, the North Dakota Pipeline, and Edward Snowden. These are some of the acknowledged issues that are not being addressed in a matter that Americans are clamoring for, all the while asserting the legality of this government to be instituted into other countries .
Ones that have not been acknowledged however are being talked about now are the rape culture, rigged elections, government ran media, and political financing. Certain individuals get a pass for sexual harassment while others get persecuted...the populace vote is superseded by an electoral vote and college...6 major corporations own 90% of the media...Citizens United allows corporations and unions to have expenditures for electioneering that side steps campaign contributions laws.
What the USA appears to be doing is playing a game of Risk, using American democracy for world domination. Yet American democracy is currently being ran by banksters, big corporations, and elitist for profit over peace, planet, and people. This being the case, we the people, global citizens, need to continue to raise our voices, continue to take action, and vote for leaders who have alternatives for the current narrative. Presidential candidate Jill Stein is one such leader and has a moral compass that will guide US back to the path.
