  • 7/29/2019 U.S. Terrorism, Communism, And Karma

    1/9

    What goes around, comes around.

    Or does anyone think that The United States will be

    able to continue terrorizing other countriesindefinitely, without itself being terrorized in return?

    That is terribly unrealistic thinking.

    The United States has been terrorizing other peoples

    since its inception.

    Many think that is crazy. But it is true.

    I will consider briefly here just one example of United

    States terrorism. The American War in Vietnam.

    During that war, which was from its beginning an

    attempt to impose and maintain a foreign-conceived

    government on a spirited, intelligent people who had

    a long history of resisting foreign domination, and in

    direct opposition to the will and well-being of the

    huge majority of those people, the United Statesterrorized, in many of the most brutal, devastating

    and scarring ways imaginable, the people of 3

    countries over a more than 10 year period---killing an

    unknown number, maybe one to three million. And

    2/9

    grievously wounding many millions more. The terror

    inflicted by this brutal U.S. action is incalculable.

    The American War in Vietnam employed extensiveuse of free-fire zones (the devils own idea--their

    country--our free-fire zone), napalm, search and

    destroy missions, chemical defoliation (killing the

    land); it involved the massive bombing of cities, the

    burning-up of untold numbers of villages, and the

    killing and torturing of countless babies, children,youth, old people, woman, and men; American

    soldiers spoke of gooks and body counts. American

    Presidents spoke of the light at the end of the

    tunnel(Johnson), a secret plan for peace(Nixon),

    and ...ours was, in truth, a noble cause(Reagan,

    long after the war).

    Baloney.

    Johnny got his gun.

    (A group of American corporations, and theirinvestors, did make astronomical and astounding

    profits. Which is the only thing that matters to them.

    Apparently.)

    In an extremely rough comparison, the immensity of

    the terrorism in America on 9/11/01, God awful as

    that was, was in comparison maybe like a penny

    compared to a ten or twenty or hundred dollar bill. (Imake that very rough, very unpleasant comparison

    because many Americans fail to realize the

    dimensions of the atrocity committed by our beloved

    nation in South East Asia, not long ago.)

    Where was the good of the U.S. action in thatsituation? It was a bloody human catastrophe---we

    wreaked havoc.

    The terrorism that the U.S. exhibited in Vietnam was

    not an aberration.

    For the U.S., terrorism has always been a sizable

    modus operandi of international relations.

    Consider Americas treatment of the Native

    Americans, of the Filipinos, of the Cubans, of the

    Greeks, of the Congolese, of the Guatemalans, of theChileans, of the Nicaraguans, of the Salvadorans, of

    the Panamanians, of the Haitians, of the Indonesians,

    of the Afghanistanis, of the Iraqis, of the Iranians,

    etc., etc.

    Was the United States trying to save the people of

    Vietnam, and the world, from that vicious, godlessmonster Communism? No. No. No. That is a smoke

    screen--which a large majority of Americans, ill

    informed as they are, believe. The United States was

    ensuring that what we say goes. And the we here

    is not you and me. It is that relatively small group of

    people who own our economy, who own the media(and, hence, a large portion of the public mind), who

    own the Republican Party (totally) and who own, to a

    somewhat lessor degree maybe, the Democratic

    Party. This small group of people want to own the

    entire world. And every one in it. They are getting

    closer and closer to this. The Republicans are doingthere best to give it to them.

    Communism was an attempt, a violent one, to

    remedy the grossly unjust distribution of wealth and

    power--to establish government that treats all people

    with respect, not just rich people. It stems from thatpeculiar notion that it is not right that 1% of the

    people posses a large majority of all of the wealth,

    while grinding poverty abounds. The specter of

    people having to work extremely hard, covered in

    5/9

    sweat and tears, earning a pittance, barely surviving,

    while owners swim in superfluous and wasted wealth,

    spread poison in the air, water, and food, and destroy

    the future by their ignorant impact upon thebiosphere, is an ugly one. And it is easy to see--if

    you lift your eyes from the entertainment and the

    propaganda, and endeavor to see the world that we

    really live in.

    The already rich and powerful, many of themAmericans, think it only right and positive that they

    should have the freedom to do what they like--let

    the poor, let the world be damned. This is a huge,

    pressing problem in todays world--and it is getting

    worse.

    We are in vast, crying need of spiritual insight--that

    we are all parts of the same spirit, that all people are

    brothers and sisters.

    And the many many millions of Americans who have

    not reached to the truth of what our governmentand society is doing in the world, the havoc we are

    creating, the death and destruction we bring, and

    who prefer to congratulate themselves and this

    nation on what great, self-sacrificing people we are,

    6/9

    spreading democracy all around the world--these

    Americans are creating and establishing this

    benighted future--where a small group of people run

    roughshod over everyone else--because, after all,they own the world and are free to do what they

    want.

    Freedom!

    Spiritual Bankruptcy.

    Karma is an immutable aspect of the way the

    universe works. (I speak not of reincarnation--I speak

    of within-the-life-span karma.) It has long been

    recognized by Christianity, and Judaism--

    As a man sows, so shall he reap.

    (From the Bible, Galatians VI)

    Here are some additional Bible verses--

    Job 4:8

    those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the

    same.

    Proverbs 22:8

    Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity,

    Jeremiah 17:10

    I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to

    give every man according to his ways, according to

    the fruit of his deeds.

    2 Corinthians 9:6

    The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also

    reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will

    also reap bountifully.

    And does this, the worldwide golden rule, apply?

    Do unto others as you would have others do unto

    you.

    What about this?

    somewhere 1:2

    Sow the wind---reap the whirlwind.

    If the U.S. does not make a sharp turn towards having

    a life-affirming effect on the people of the world, it willcontinue to make its own bed one of massive terror---

    and we will sleep in it.

    (Maybe it will be the terror of our own minds,

    unavoidably noticing and reflecting on what

    devastation we have wrought. Or maybe we will wake-

    up one day, find harmony gone from the world, andwonder where it went. Or maybe terrorized people will

    somehow find a way to get back at their tormenter in a

    big, bloody way.)

    One way or another, we will be repaid for undertaking

    actions that are spiritually blind.

    We would do much better, as would all people on the

    earth, if our nation were to Stop Terrorizing People.

    But most Americans do not realize that we are. In

    fact, millions of Americans find the very idea that the

    U.S. is terrorizing people absurd and utterlydismissible. This is our failure--of awareness, of

    honesty, of clear-sightedness, of intelligence, of

  • 7/29/2019 U.S. Terrorism, Communism, And Karma

    9/9

    humility, of humanity, of heart, of soul. And if we do

    not make it right, life will damn us.

    Either obviously, or subtly. When we do evil, thingsdo not go well for us. If only in our own

    consciousness.

    Read some books, people! Inform yourselves as to

    what is happening! To find what is truly happening

    takes much work.

    Our nation, America, is far from being a positive

    contributor to the world situation.

    Reform is needed--much reform!

    Lets become good people!
