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

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
-

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,
-

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
-

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!
