PAN Communique (1:1) -- We Are Contemporaries

We are contemporaries. This might seem to be a trite observation at first, but reflection reveals insight. We're in this -- this time -- together. We can communicate, collaborate, celebrate. We face the same unprecedented challenges, the same exhilarating opportunities. If we cower in fear, lull ourselves with apathy, bliss out in ignorance, or wallow in self-indulgence... we are the problem. But if we visualize, organize, metamorphize, crystallize, find solidarity, solace, and strength in our shared conviction that another world is possible, we become the solution.

George Bernard Shaw may have been right when he said, "Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history". I say, "know your history", they say, "no, you're history!"; but that was Zen... this is Tao.

You can deny the omens, pooh-pooh the prophecies... but you can not stop an idea whose time has come. And the time has come for the return of the "thought leaders"... time for the reconstitution of the Constitution. We be the eco-creatives, the Rainbow Warriors, the ubermensch -- aware, awake, and no need to fake it. Sure, they say, "just fake it till ya make it", but we've gone far beyond faker and fakir. Remember though, that believing you're enlightened is a necessary but not sufficient condition of being enlightened, there's also the peer review process. Survey says...

For real zeal... hermetically sealed... true nature revealed. The people wanna know, "Is there Rumi 'nuf for everyone?". Yes, indeed; but if you spell "clan" with a "k", i've got some bad news for you. Bad news too for the guy at Harbin Hot Springs who mused that there is no "evil", only "ignorance". I thought, "Humph, then you are evil by your own definition because you're clearly ignorant of evil!".

Have you not seen the face of evil? ...not necessarily in the hallway mirror, but in the halls of power? Wholesale terror perpetrated by the State -- an unholy alliance of big government, big business, big academia, and organized religion -- in the pretext of preemptive wars of "liberation" is accepted by the unwitting masses as a necessary evil to combat the manufactured evil of retail terrorism. To be sure, 9-11 was an act of terror, though the terrorists who pulled it off do not live in caves on the other side of the planet, they live in plush, war-profit, splendor right under our noses on Pennsylvania Avenue and wherever else the PNAC (Project for the New American Century) neocons dwell.

The widely-accepted official narrative of 9-11 actually violates several laws of physics, chemistry, and thermo-dynamics. Use some common sense... there is absolutely no way that those airplanes caused two 109-story steel and concrete skyscrapers to crumble at free-fall speed into a pile of dust and molten steel. All three WTC skyscrapers that fell on 9-11 were brought down by controlled demolition.

Most people don't even know that a third building -- WTC Building 7, 47 floors tall -- totally collapsed in on itself at near free-fall speed on 9-11. Silverstein, one of the lease-holders, even admitted on national TV to having the building "pulled" -- slang for demolished -- at 5:20 the afternoon of 9-11. There's a big problem with this: it takes several weeks, not a couple hours, to rig a skyscraper for demolition. Not a single member of the criminally complicit major-media machine had any questions about this incriminating claim by co-conspirator Larry Silverstein.

On the bright side, we metaphysicians owe the USG (US Government) a huge debt of gratitude for proving once and for all that "might does NOT make right". Light makes right. Can the charge of the Light Brigade be far off?

Interestingly enough, it's Republican Congressman Ron Paul, not Democratic-apologist Dennis Kucinich, who is standing up to the Bush-Cheney cabal. He had some strong words for the ruling elite about their seemingly imminent declaration of martial law and the formal creation of a police state (www.prisonplanet.com/article...sh.htm). The excuse will either be another extremely suspicious 9-11 "false flag" operation or an equally suspicious Avian/Spanish Flu pandemic. Come hell or high water, the Bush-Cheney cabal in league with the supine Democratic party will have their martial law. Furthermore, if it's because of a flu pandemic, you'd better brace yourself for a USG-mandated vaccination! Oh, isn't that convenient.

While this all sounds like nothing but "doom and gloom", there are ample signs of hope on the horizon. Remember those "thought leaders"? those Rainbow Warriors? Well guess what? We're not afraid. We refuse to be pricked or tricked by the fear-mongers and war-criminals who have tried to seize control of our destiny. It's time to wake up, America, to the rather uncomfortable fact that we've met the enemy and the enemy is not us, the USA, but the USG.

The old saw goes, "What do you call a busload of lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start". The new one goes, "What do you call the indictment of Cheney accomplice, Lewis 'Scooter' Libby? ...a good start". Herein lies more hope. Potential hero of the people, Patrick Fitzgerald, is apparently extending his Grand Jury investigation of the Plame leak and the false casus belli for war. Yes, the entire Bush-Cheney cabal and their Democratic partners in crime are caught between Iraq and a hard place. Had only they spent more time reading their mythology they'd know the price one ultimately pays for pathological hubris is utter ruin.

Sometimes laughter's the best medicine... satire, the greatest weapon. Here's a little animation that brought a smile to my face (www.endofworld.net/).

Sooner or later, enough people are going to start scratching their heads and thinking the unthinkable: Is the all-powerful nation State an idea whose time has come and gone? Should California secede from the Union? Should the San Francisco Bay Area secede from California and form an autonomous bioregion?

Yes, we can seize this historic opportunity, as the old order collapses under the weight of mind-boggling corruption and breathtaking hypocrisy, to write a new social contract, to remake the world. It's up to us, not the US... each and every one of us. Know your history, then go out and make some.
