Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

Creating refugee camps...


I have to tell you that we - the u.s.ofa. - have horrific violent refugee/concentration camps on our border. How can we tolerate this?
The only place in our Northern Hemisphere where there are refugee camps and we have made them, we are responsible for them. We of the grand great whatever u.s.ofa. have REFUGEE camps on our borders.
Plus we are sending plane loads of refugees back to the violence they have trudged on foot often for thousands of miles to escape. Like the trains that loaded Jews and other scourges to the german empire and sent them to their deaths, we are loading brown, mostly Indigenous, people on buses onto airplanes and sending them almost assuredly to their deaths.
We already know that we have been/are caging refugees in concrete-floored, wire-walled ice cages allowing them to wear only one layer of clothing – a single layer of clothes for those people mostly acclimated to warmer climates –  with only a thin silver foil 'blanket' for covers (like we can't spare blankets?), so repeating the cruel practice of white people caging Africans in damp dark underground caves before shipping them across the ocean to enslave them.
This is 2020 and we are alive and witnessing this and allowing our government to use our tax money to make certain white men who are already rich even richer.
We are torturing, raping, killing, dehumanizing other human beings who are trying to escape the violence that our government and corporations have brought upon their people - only to be turned away at the border.
WE HAVE NO MORE ASYLUM in this country. How DARE we allow this to continue ESPECIALLY as we are the cause, our fuckin LIFE STYLE is the root cause of the violence making it unsafe for people to live in their own country.
STOP WORKING TO MAKE $$$$!
START WORKING TO SAVE LIVES AND LIFE
NOW!
If you decided not to come to the border, work where you are: inform people, pressure your legislators, provide safe space for refugees, SHUT DOWN ICE!
            And above all else, CEASE contributing to the destruction of life and lives. Assist in the regaining of our humanity!
