This is what happens when our motivation is for private profit. The whole community, the people, everybody but the one percent, ultimately suffers, and they ultimately create the same suffering for themselves. That's how it works. It's insane, it's crazy, it's evil. The same is true with the meat and dairy industries. Dr. Michael Greger and many others are now bringing the hidden facts out in the open. Dr. Michael Greger is one of the best experts on why we should become vegans. Here is the link to his website: https://nutritionfacts.org/
Kevin Shipp, an ex-CIA agent, has totally exposed how the Shadow Government and Deep State in the United States work. He himself is a Christian constitutionalist. Many leftists may not agree with some of his beliefs, but what he reveals is the jaw-dropping truth of how corrupt our government really is. See this video lecture of Kevin Shipp.
According to Kevin Shipp, the CIA is the Shadow Government at the top of the pyramid, and directly below it working with the CIA, is the Deep State, the military--industrial corporations and members of Congress who are financed, and kept in office year-after-year, primarily by the military-industrial corporations. Everything is corrupt and we are truly living in a culture of death.
The powers-that-be know that people are waking up for all of the above reasons, so they are now calling for more surveillance and monitoring, not so much for the so-called terrorists, but to monitor us, the American people. We are who they really fear the most. As more money is spent on the military and weapons, the corrupt corporations make more money, and they are getting total control over us and the world, which is what they want. It's insane that so much money is spent on war and surveillance and not the real needs of the people in every country.
When one looks at the degree of consumption of the United States in relationship to the rest of the world, it is utterly unacceptable and unfair that we consume so much when others consume so little. The earth has a carrying capacity. It can no way sustain everyone in the world living the way people in the United States live. Instead of pledging allegiance to a national flag, we should first declare our allegiance to the whole world and the earth. We should take down some of our national holidays, especially Columbus Day. As a nation, we should be deeply sorrowful for what our leaders and our lifestyles have done to the rest of the world. Now it is our responsibility to vow to the world that we will work to right the wrongs of our nation's past, and we will do whatever we can to make the world a happy place.
So it is important that we the people start waking up to discover the vast human or divine potential within us. If the perennial philosophy can be specifically incorporated into the Ten Key Values of the Green Party, it will bring new members into the fold. It is still possible that a Green Party candidate can win the presidential election of 2020. If Green Party members integrate the Perennial Philosophy into their personal lifestyles, there can be more equanimity within and egalitarianism without. There can be more inner peace and world peace.
