Pacifica Commentary for December 14, 2005

TIME TO LEAVE THE BOX


Are you ready to leave the box now? If you are, you will find a whole new world waiting for you. The box is necrophilia, or love of death. The box is bound by the cardboard of fear, ignorance, moral illiteracy, vengeance, and stupidity. But the box feels comfortable.

Before we go on, please try to identify one instructive comment you might have heard from the spokespeople for the box. For example, Mr. Charles Krauthammer is playing parlor games with us about the usefulness of torture. He is in the box and it's dark in there. But well paid opportunists are going to tell us that just everyone agrees with Mr. Krauthammer.

Unconscious spokespeople are telling us that the death penalty is effective. Actually it is so effective that we now have one of the highest murder rates in the world to say nothing of the highest rates of incarceration. What is inside the box is death and a love of death generated by induced fear. The death people even say that we are winning in Iraq.

On the contrary, we are simply restructuring a torturing dictatorship similar to what we created in Nicaragua under Somoza or in Guatemala or El Salvador under a military facade of democracy. Friends, there is no life in the box. It is full of dead people's bones.

As we leave the box and do our homework, we find that an imposter is in the presidency. This individual was not elected in 2000 and was not elected again in the year 2004. The data is now in and documented in the book Censored 2006 by Peter Phillips and Project Censored, Seven Stories Press.

Yes, friends as you leave the box you will rise from the dead and join the global group of truth seekers. No more adoration of the nation state, no more acceptance of the state cult of cold blooded murder by execution and war.

Stanley "Tookie" Williams has just been murdered by the state of California, and many others await this cold blooded state homicide. They are to be killed as victims of class justice. In the box there is one system of justice for the poor, for people of color and another system for people who have substantial amounts of money. It is only out of the box that we find what redemption means, what rehabilitation means, what reform means. To deny that these things are possible is to be spiritually dead.

Come on friends, it is time to leave the box and to say as Stanley Williams might have regarding those still in darkness, "Father, forgive them for they have absolutely no idea what they are doing!"
