Omnicide or Planetary Salvation?

Why we need a Lovolution.

What I am learning from the Troops Home Fast is that we are vessels of life. We were not born to be consumers, but to be spiritual travelers on the road to planetary salvation. In America, life is a shopping mall. The message you receive from the culture is that you were born to shop. If you don’t have money to shop, then you are a social misfit. Many Americans consume to the point of gluttony. Gluttony is one of those seven deathly sins, so America—filled with gluttonous souls-- has become the place of the living dead.

The world spends around $1 trillion dollars on weapons, personnel and military equipment per year. $300 billion of this is spent by the United States. With one week of the global military spending of $20 billion dollars we could put an end to all starvation. Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed."

The problem of global starvation could be solved if we were ruled by the politics of Lovolution. As vessels of love, it is our duty to become part of the Lovolution, to wake up the living dead to the fact that the U.S. defense budget is killing us, directly through things like depleted uranium (DU) poisoning and indirectly by allowing the people throughout the planet to starve because governments like the United States manufacture and sell weapons rather than feed the people organic, nutritious foods.

The US military is spreading DU, U-238, the ultimate dirty radioactive weapons material used in bombs and bullets. On impact, it explodes into microscopically fine “nano-particles” which are easily inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Its half-life is 4,468 billion years. During the first Gulf War I, the US dropped 300 tons of it on Iraq resulting in vets coming back with Gulf War Syndrome. During the Gulf War II, the US has dropped 1,700 tons on population centers in Iraq.

In Robert C. Koehler’s article “Spreading Cancer: Depleted Uranium Turns Bush’s Lies into High-Tech Horror,” he writes, “Remember shock and awe? We were pounding Baghdad, in those triumphant early days, with low-grade nuclear weapons, raining down cancer, neurological disorders, birth defects and much, much more on the people we claimed to be liberating. We weren’t spreading democracy, we were altering the human genome.”

He continues, “As we “protected ourselves,” in the words of the president, from Iraq’s non-existent weapons of mass destruction, we opened our own arsenal of WMD on them, contaminating the country’s soil and polluting its air — indeed, unleashing a nuclear dust into the troposphere and contaminating the whole world.”

Since we live on a borderless Earth and the winds of the world are not nationalistic, DU, the deadly contagion spreads around the planet including the United States. Bush has become a planet-destroyer. He is an omnicidal maniac and must be stopped!

It is a moral crime that Americans have such gluttonous lifestyles while people live without their basic human needs being met as DU rains down on them. Where is the love? Where is the caring about other people besides your self and your family? Where is the love for the planet and the health of humanity?

Fast for Lovolution! Please, Fast for a Paradigm Shift!
