Militias: Mass consciousness and choice

There is some talk and encouragement these days to go out and make citizen arrests of people in power positions who are part the power elite who have committed crimes against humanity.

There is a big problem with these calls for action. While those who speak of this, such as “Drake” and “Minuteman,” advocate due process and non-violent modes of taking people in… there has been little or no education as to how this is possible. There are also no lists or documents that are available to prove criminal activity except the “facts” that are pushed on certain interviews, podcasts, and websites. Many of these groups appear to be militia who are advocating non-violence, except when there is no other choice.

It is true that there is much injustice in the world. It seems to be true that corporate profits and banking profits usually come before what is the best interest of you, me, and the environment. It is true that some politicians probably do act without regard for the constitution and simply respond to the highest corporate bidder. I am not suggesting those in power positions are innocent by any means.

This is not the time to try to do something we are not prepared to do. Hopefully there will be documentation that proves allegations and that those who are guilty will be apprehended by forces that have the right and professional knowledge to act for the good of all.

Non-violent protest and occupy movements will continue to help raise consciousness. Our communications will help raise awareness. We will see how serious those in charge of stopping illegality and injustice are as we watch the continuing investigations of the banking industry, particularly in response to the disclosures of the LIBOR rate-fixing practices going on for who knows how many years or decades.

Let us not get caught up in mass hysteria or group consciousness, but rather follow the love strings of our own heart songs. It is appropriate that we feel anger or whatever we feel at the injustice in the world around us. And we can chose….we have the power of free will and individual choice as to how we will respond... and impatience is not a good motivation in my opinion.

Let loving kindness be our guide as we also do our best to stop the ongoing injustice in the world. We sometimes forget that forgiveness, renewal, and rehabilitation is the way of love…and also know that love can stand firm and say, “enough… this injustice is no longer appropriate.”

Much Love and Be Safe,
