Weath ~ Wall St. & Violence

It is disheartening and painful to look into the eyes of violent beings. There is a fundamental absence of connection. There is no opportunity to share a recognition of humanity, or awareness of love or peace. It is common as well with some spiritual teachers, public performers of every stripe especially those involved in the politics and trained in to our children we send to die and come back wounded and invisible after following our instructions to kill. Once you think about it you can see it in Obama and Hillery,  It is the look in Lyndon Johnson’s eye; King and Kennedy both murdered to oppose equality, peace, or human dignity.

Lacking truth, honesty or moral standards in our culture is our primary failure. The glaring lack of  any control over the addiction to violence or profit, when rhetoric of addiction falls to drugs in support of a prison state.. The denial of environmental cost and the poisoning of a public planet that does not belong to anyone, for nothing but simple profit, Is insanity.

As if that would buy a single moment of peace or comfort knowing ones part in creating the direct suffering of another. This is the unspoken responsibility of community and capitalism. If we cannot practice capitalism with humanity and equality then perhaps private wealth should move into history as a fragment of the shattered psyche that inhabited the last 20 or 30 centuries in the dominant groups of coincidentally violent and destructive beings. I don't say i know how to do it, I'm just saying that i want to do better.

The image of Anthony Bologna pepper spraying little girls held in a cage like puppies is a particularly disturbing example of what  the extremely casual violent support of capital in looks like in broad day light, casual violence offered without thought or regret not worth of the consideration of the energy and darkness one like him would express in private, whether one is guilty or not then leaves the picture entirely in the absence of  justice or humanity. What bothers me more is the absolutely fish eyed lack of humanity of the woman to his left who is apparently his slave has enslaved her own soul.

One wonders if humanity has any real claim to anything if this is the result of American sacrifice and posing as a humanitarian state. How this underscores the atrocity of predator drones and the so called human people doing such a job beggars the mind and ravages the soul.

I know it's simplistic, but we could change the banking system and just allow those who need money to borrow it just like the banks, built on the same pyramid of deposits of the wealthy. we take all private wealth and allow it to secure the loans to the poor so everyone can eat and have a roof over their head with sanitation and warmth and the chance for a days work ahead.
