Secretary of Peace
For weeks or months I've occassionally asked why this country has no Secretary of Peace. This morning I heard Dennis K tell us he would have a Department of Peace. Good news. This is one Cabinet post that the cabal-reelection committee will not pre-empt. We can count on that. Their supporters appear to be so killing happy that they wouldn't be able come up with a nominee.

He...DK...said that he would not have allowed Haiti to get to the point that it did, supposedly because the head of the Department would have already been working on a solution.

Psychologically, idealistically, and with all the hope I can muster, I support a Cabinet position whose only objective is peace. And an administration that favors an agenda that elevates the position to most important - with support and priority - not with money only, money to buy the leaders as we've done for decades - not just pressure so that the leaders betray their own for profit or longevity or to avoid becoming a 'suicide'.

The question is, is our country too hypocritical to change? Are we not the country bent on destroying and defending and exploiting? Are we not loaded down with people suspicious of every country and its people?

If we have corporations hell bent on making the weapons...military hell bent on dreaming up new war strategies, theories, weapons that they have to put to the test...military cooperating with corporations for the glory and the profit...intelligence units devoted to helping a small congomerate of controllers rule the world... - then ...how can we transition - in spite of peace being the way people can live out dreams parents and teachers instilled in them? Peace is the way for the smallest of people to progress financially.

We are so boringly and hypocritically stuck when multi-billion dollar 'news' corporations put highly paid authorities in your face to tell you how white tied businessmen are going to pull it off for the themselves.

Are we so culturally inbred and so full of ourselves that the concept in not conceivable?

When you think about what it might have changed in the past, two things come to mind - we are a nation that loves war and doesn't really care about the human baggage and is totally hypocritical when we send out Christ mas cards that say Peace on Earth Good Will To Man.

What is the potential for change in the world if we became a leader in peace, not just in technology or in arsenal or bluff, including humans as arsenal.

Could the haters of our country sit down with us if the Secretary of Peace were representing the little people?

Is our model changeable?
