Conscientious Objector and the Pacifist

Sometimes they shoot conscientious objectors.  How to define those who are to be shot?

Conscientious Objector, or CO, generally relates to war, but can relate to anything: Romney/Obamacare, school choice, you name it.

Assuming freedom is the ether necessary for us to have free will, then the ability to choose is fundamental to being human. Conscientious objection is grounded in freedom, and freedom assumes all is voluntary.  Violence violates freedom, so conscientious objection is necessarily nonviolent.  But one confusion is the homophonic word but profoundly different meanings.

Although pacifism is what conscientious objectors are all about, that is making peace, people speak of conscientious objection as though they were passivists.

You see above in the verb and adjective form the sense, the difference, emerges.

Tohei Sensei, aikido chief instructor and the only ju-dan awarded, taught about positive non fighting, that is dealing with violence peacefully.  To pacify the violent is the work of pacifists.  Tohei contrasted positive non-fighting with negative non-fighting, for example, running away form a fight is negative non-fighting.  Passivism would be a form of negative non-fighting.

Singapore Punches Above Its Weight

Why is it countries around seven million in population, with freer markets, are so safe?

When Lee Kuan Yew died Monday at age 91, the founding father of Singapore did not leave just his legacy as the prime minister whose authoritarian policies shaped a backwater British colony into the world’sfourth-wealthiest nation. He also left Singaporeans with one of the most formidable armies in the world. The tiny island state of 5.4 million, with a land area far smaller than New York City’s, has more fighter jets than Spain, Poland or Sweden. Its army has as many tanks as Italy, which is more than 400 times the size. Its navy boasts the only stealthy ships in the region.  

Too small to attack neighbors, too tough to be attacked.  Purely defensive

Why Ferguson?

John Gibson has a late night talk show devoted to the premise that people of African heritage are inferior, and their problems are all their fault.  But maybe not...

“Yes, all the time. It is something I see a lot of, whether it was from deputies, supervisors or undercovers and even investigators. It’s almost like you have no emotion with it, that they attach the bodies to it, they’re going to be out of jail tomorrow anyway; nothing is going to happen to them anyway. One of the consequences of the war on drugs is that police officers are pressured to make large numbers of arrests, and it’s easy for some of the less honest cops to plant evidence on innocent people. The drug war inevitably leads to crooked policing — and quotas further incentivize such practices. It doesn’t help that your higherups all did the same thing when they were on the road. It’s like a neverending cycle. Like how molested children accept that as okay behavior and begin molesting children themselves.”

Read the article here where the officers note people of African heritage are particularly selected for false arrest.  Abuse people, then blame them.

I've heard these stories about Seattle for the last 40 years.  From cops.

Not nice.

Sometimes I Think I Am "Out There"

Then comes one from the commanding heights:

I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."The Cardinal's entire column is well worth reading. The end, in particular is quite poignant.
Analogies can easily be multiplied, if one wants to push a thesis; but the point is that the greatest threat to world peace and international justice is the nation state gone bad, claiming an absolute power, deciding questions and making “laws” beyond its competence. Few there are, however, who would venture to ask if there might be a better way for humanity to organize itself for the sake of the common good. Few, that is, beyond a prophetic voice like that of Dorothy Day, speaking acerbically about “Holy Mother the State,” or the ecclesiastical voice that calls the world, from generation to generation, to live at peace in the kingdom of God.God sustains the world, in good times and in bad. Catholics, along with many others, believe that only one person has overcome and rescued history: Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of the Virgin Mary, savior of the world and head of his body, the church. Those who gather at his cross and by his empty tomb, no matter their nationality, are on the right side of history. Those who lie about him and persecute or harass his followers in any age might imagine they are bringing something new to history, but they inevitably end up ringing the changes on the old human story of sin and oppression. There is nothing “progressive” about sin, even when it is promoted as “enlightened.”The world divorced from the God who created and redeemed it inevitably comes to a bad end. It’s on the wrong side of the only history that finally matters. The Synod on the New Evangelization is taking place in Rome this month because entire societies, especially in the West, have placed themselves on the wrong side of history.

Die to Defend Democracy

Except the warmakers know that democracy cannot deliver the will of the people.  This is what they learn in school:

Arrow's theorem says that if the decision-making body has at least two members and at least three options to decide among, then it is impossible to design a social welfare function that satisfies all these conditions at once.

This may be why the Catholic Church does not recognize democracy as a legitimate form of government.

Before you sign up to defend democracy, learn what majority rule voting obtains.

Who Said This?

Thirty days after Kennedy was assassinated?

    For some time I have been disturbed by the way CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the Government. This has led to trouble and may have compounded our difficulties in several explosive areas.
  ...
    But there are now some searching questions that need to be answered. I, therefore, would like to see the CIA be restored to its original assignment as the intelligence arm of the President, and that whatever else it can properly perform in that special field—and that its operational duties be terminated or properly used elsewhere.
    We have grown up as a nation, respected for our free institutions and for our ability to maintain a free and open society. There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historic position and I feel that we need to correct it.

Killing Trayvon

A Seattle lawyer mentioned that trials are just morality plays, meant to instruct the faithful.  A jury ruled that Mr. Zimmerman was not guilty of murder or manslaughter.  (I wonder how many murderers call the police and THEN commit murder?) They arrived at this verdict by studying the fact of the case.  Mr. Zimmerman has an articulate brother who defended the verdict. Trayvon's parents called for respecting the verdict.

The news media insists USA is "gripped by a second night of fury."  Hmmm... must have missed the first night.    Maybe cooler heads are prevailing, but does not push ratings.

This was a polarizing case, apparently (I haven't followed it), proposing on one side self-defense and on the other racial profiling that turned lethal for a child.  One side has called it a lynching.

For my part I think verdicts tell us nothing, but what we do see is the case being used by people of some African heritage to highlight an endless train of abuses they experience.  Indeed, we have a system that does not punish doctors for running cruel and deadly (as well as pointless) medical experiments on people of some African heritage.  We flood the neighborhoods of some African heritage with welfare and crack.  We make crack a bigger crime than the cocaine lawyers, cops and judges use.  We can keep at this train of abuses all day.

I would go farther, those liberal powers that be that enforce the racial classifications such as "black" and set up programs which move to the head of a line (not THE line, just a line) the best "black" vs the best candidate, and at the same time make sure architects and other professions are strictly limited.  They advance people of some African heritage who are actually quite odious while jailing massive amounts of nonviolent criminals.  The liberals did decide long ago they would advance their agenda against people of some African heritage by recruiting preachers of some African heritage.

I attended a three day seminar at the University of Washington this Spring that detailed how the Nazis, among other items,  used the Jews to round up the Jews.  There is nothing unique in an elite cooperating in the elimination of their own.  It is not the hand you are dealt, it is how you play the cards.  This starts, as in Germany, with racial classifications.  We are supposed to say "black" when referring to people of some African heritage.  It is an act of conscientious objection to limit oneself to the term, when referring to Americans of some African heritage, as Americans.

Another frank discussion was on the topic of the use of the holocaust as a sort of currency in politics.  There is much empty value in claiming victimhood, even if true.

The help people of some African heritage get from progressives is no help at all.  What people need is freedom, that ether in which God resides and mankind experiences in exercising his will.  What is terrible is when the freedom is circumscribed in law and in social conditioning.

USA has a dual original sin of racism and violence.  The target is people of of some African heritage.  This leads to people of of some African heritage acting out, or feeling justified in giving tit for tat, violence and racism in return for violence and racism.    (In these scenes, there were many police standing by, doing nothing.  Anyone who believes police will help you if it means the slightest risk to themselves are delusional. You are on your own.)

That is bad enough.  But even before that, we are denied the good of the creativity of those whose prospects are circumscribed by the progressives projects.  Every country plays this game, in USA the target is people of some African heritage.  Yes, we are all denied the good of the contributions of many people, especially people of some African heritage.  Racial identification and socially conditioning the discussion as whites vs people of some African heritage, then the game is on.

Having said that, now that the elite is clamoring for violence, there will be many instances in which random, pointless violence will occur.  If you believe the police should meet the violence, well, look how long they took to get to the scene of the Trayvon killing after the first call.  Some eight minutes.  Trayvon was dead by the time the cops got there.  If you believe violence is appropriate, then you need to get a gun and train with it.

If not, then practice a nonviolent martial art.  Because like that girl in the video above, citizens are taught to let the police handle it, and the police are taught "officer safety" above all things.  You are on your own.

The powers that deny people the freedom to act are presently fomenting violence.  At which point, people need to be willing to act.  Because of the killing of Trayvon, there will be more killings.  But maybe that is the point.

Racial politics is a tremendous money maker.  It is a terrible thing for the targets.  The targets are being incited to take revenge.  You need to be ready to not be a target of a target.

Solution to the Snowden Mess

The Vatican had its own version of the Snowden mess...

Gabriele, who said he wanted to expose the "evil and corruption" that plagued the Holy See, was convicted of aggravated theft and sentenced to 18 months in the Vatican's police barracks. Benedict eventually pardoned him and he is now a free man.

There you go... convict of any crime, then pardon him.  Machine Gun Calley was convicted in the My Lai massacres, and then pardoned by Nixon, so why not a whistleblower?

Happy With Slavery

Here is a fun passage from one of my favorite books:

⁵ “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’ ⁶ then his master must take him before the judges.^[a] He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

There is nothing new about people wanting to remain slaves.  I've always wondered at tattoos and piercings, piercings especially, they seem to be saying "Don't hurt me, I am already hurting myself."  As if we are in control of what harm comes our way.

It ain't the hand you are dealt, it's how you play the cards.

Before Vaccinating Your Child...

Ask your doctor to sign this reasonable verification form...

PHYSICIAN’S WARRANTY OF VACCINE SAFETYI (Physician’s name, degree)_______________, _____ am a physician licensed to practice medicine in the State/Province of _________. My State/Provincial license number is ___________ , and my DEA number is ____________. My medical specialty is _______________I have a thorough understanding of the risks and benefits of all the medications that I prescribe for or administer to my patients. In the case of (Patient’s name) ______________ , age _____ , whom I have examined, I find that certain risk factors exist that justify the recommended vaccinations. The following is a list of said risk factors and the vaccinations that will protect against them:
Risk Factor __________________________
Vaccination __________________________
Risk Factor __________________________
Vaccination __________________________
Risk Factor __________________________
Vaccination __________________________

I am aware that vaccines may contain many of the following chemicals, excipients, preservatives and fillers:

* aluminum hydroxide

* amphotericin B
* animal tissues: pig blood, horse blood, rabbit brain,
* arginine hydrochloride
* dog kidney, monkey kidney,
* dibasic potassium phosphate
* chick embryo, chicken egg, duck egg
* calf (bovine) serum
* betapropiolactone
* fetal bovine serum
* formaldehyde
* formalin
* gelatin
* gentamicin sulfate
* glycerol
* human diploid cells (originating from human aborted fetal tissue)
* hydrocortisone
* hydrolized gelatin
* mercury thimerosol (thimerosal, Merthiolate(r))
* monosodium glutamate (MSG)
* monobasic potassium phosphate
* neomycin
* neomycin sulfate

and, hereby, warrant that these ingredients are safe for injection into the body of my patient. I have researched reports to the contrary, such as reports that mercury thimerosal causes severe neurological and immunological damage, and find that they are not credible.

I am aware that some vaccines have been found to have been contaminated with Simian Virus 40 (SV 40) and that SV 40 is causally linked by some researchers to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and mesotheliomas in humans as well as in experimental animals. I hereby warrant that the vaccines I employ in my practice do not contain SV 40 or any other live viruses. (Alternately, I hereby warrant that said SV-40 virus or other viruses pose no substantive risk to my patient.)

I hereby warrant that the vaccines I am recommending for the care of (Patient’s name) _______________ do not contain any tissue from aborted human babies (also known as “fetuses”).

In order to protect my patient’s well being, I have taken the following steps to guarantee that the vaccines I will use will contain no damaging contaminants.

STEPS TAKEN: _________________________
_______________________________________
_______________________________________
_______________________________________

I have personally investigated the reports made to the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) and state that it is my professional opinion that the vaccines I am recommending are safe for administration to a child under the age of 5 years.

The bases for my opinion are itemized on Exhibit A, attached hereto, — “Physician’s Bases for Professional Opinion of Vaccine Safety.” (Please itemize each recommended vaccine separately along with the bases for arriving at the conclusion that the vaccine is safe for administration to a child under the age of 5 years.)

The professional journal articles I have relied upon in the issuance of this Physician’s Warranty of Vaccine Safety are itemized on Exhibit B , attached hereto, — “Scientific Articles in Support of Physician’s Warranty of Vaccine Safety.”

The professional journal articles that I have read which contain opinions adverse to my opinion are itemized on Exhibit C , attached hereto, — “Scientific Articles Contrary to Physician’s Opinion of Vaccine Safety”

The reasons for my determining that the articles in Exhibit C were invalid are delineated in Attachment D , attached hereto, — “Physician’s Reasons for Determining the Invalidity of Adverse Scientific Opinions.”

Hepatitis B

I understand that 60 percent of patients who are vaccinated for Hepatitis B will lose detectable antibodies to Hepatitis B within 12 years. I understand that in 1996 only 54 cases of Hepatitis B were reported to the CDC in the 0-1 year age group. I understand that in the VAERS, there were 1,080 total reports of adverse reactions from Hepatitis B vaccine in 1996 in the 0-1 year age group, with 47 deaths reported.

I understand that 50 percent of patients who contract Hepatitis B develop no symptoms after exposure. I understand that 30 percent will develop only flu-like symptoms and will have lifetime immunity. I understand that 20 percent will develop the symptoms of the disease, but that 95 percent will fully recover and have lifetime immunity.

I understand that 5 percent of the patients who are exposed to Hepatitis B will become chronic carriers of the disease. I understand that 75 percent of the chronic carriers will live with an asymptomatic infection and that only 25 percent of the chronic carriers will develop chronic liver disease or liver cancer, 10-30 years after the acute infection. The following scientific studies have been performed to demonstrate the safety of the Hepatitis B vaccine in children under the age of 5 years.
