Fighting the Beast Within, The Competition That Fuels Capitalism

Fighting the beast within called competition that fuels capitalism.  After seeing it around and within myself I realize there is a sociopath jin or spirit that is encouraged in people globally. Some of it may be primal instinct yet other behavior is taught and fostered. This development of the idea of winners and losers goes right into the dynamics of religion and classism being another doctrine of set winners and losers, chosen and damned.The seed of idea of first and second class citizens that we as “progressives” seek to eliminate. I am going to speak on how things we all have seen around us concerning competition reflect  the global issue that is at the seeds of War.

Perhaps you have heard “it’s not about who wins or loses, it’s how you play the game.” This is absolutely true because it speaks about the integrity maintained, self worth and dignity, something when lost cannot be regained easily. It also serves as an example of conduct of what is considered goods sports conduct. In sports, where competition is refined, there are rules and behavior that is seen as becoming and that which is seen as arrogant. When someone thinks they are above the rules they are dealt a time out or foul. There are penalties for grievances. In the modern world, especially in business and politics, music industry to every day behavior it seems this concept is lost.  It seems that to the masses in a capitalistic thought pattern care only about winning, and do not care about who gets hurt on the way. The drive to succeed over shadows any drive to be compassionate.

Perhaps you have seen people put their business before friends and family, those who desire to compete makes it where they are never satisfied. It is linked to all kind of things, including not feeling good enough. One of the worst feelings is to be put down or mocked because you have less, and a spirit enters that wants to prove the person wrong, and be so successful you could mock them..I am sure we have laughed as actors do it in the movies..Still, what does it prove, what did it change, and is the exchange of mockery progressive. It is not kind in any way, it is a desire to be arrogant and standing above another so one could belittle another. It is to be the oppressor or the master. This inferiority complex often reflected to others as superiority complexes, over compensation and over confidence.  I could be describing someone we know or the USA government, and that is the point. This is about us, about Trump, and the history of the world and often nationalism at its worst hour. This is how the world works, by breaking rules and trying to profit no matter the cost to life, the planet, the future, or the soul. It is about a few winning, the rest losing and the winners thinking they deserve it because they have always been smarter than the rest..

This state of mind of competitive capitalistic views are interlinked with several subjects and by ones looking closely and humbly at how this related to racism, speciesism, tribalism, religious animosity and ethic divisions, ones can see that thinking we are better than others is at the heart of an inner and outer war, that leaves billions of dead bodies a year on this planet.  There is a constant “us” and “them” which is in the interest of governments, who do not represent everyone on Earth.  What governments try to be are the worst gangsters, meaning that competition leads who can dominate the other by any means. The is why the US has privatized the war as a utility for mankind. No matter who wants to prove they are better the US wins. They encourage wars as a way to profit off the weakest nature of man, competition for resources and control. They also teach it to the World as far as personal exploits and relationships. Their religious doctrines often are taught to think that there is a competition to get to heaven. I cannot go into all the religious or political avenues to show as demonstrations because there are so many and it is up to us to look and see when we are subconsciously driven to beat someone at something for the sake of winning, or more often to kill for the sake of killing. It goes from the food we eat, the books we look to for guidance and truth, to the way politicians use force over diplomacy without the desire to accept correction.  People don’t like to apologize, nor do governments, they want to carry an air of incorruptibility, which is at the heart of the issue. When rules its seems don’t apply to some, and there is no recourse, others will revert backwards and replicate those same methods against others. Not only does the cycle continue, but the eye for and eye concept still doesn’t prove what is more worthy than not in a logical manner, it is revenge based.

I wrote earlier about how Religious Theology clashes with Human Rights, and that it was more important how we react to set violations that the violators being violators. This is basis of African American Political Science when it comes to embarrassing your challengers by exposing the methods that they wished others didn’t know because they are unlawful and shameful by most peoples standards. Internationally and National Morality is a powerful. We know the success the civil rights movement had internationally because Africans and all collective races within the USA  were able to use non violent resistance against a brutal army and further the cause of peace. Likewise the resolve to not emulate the racists racism with racism, religious dogmatic thought with counter religious dogmatic thought, ect. is to study our own problem solving techniques. It is up to us to find new ways of reacting and speaking when it comes to how to reach each other  peacefully and respectfully on a stage where we share and listen. We shouldn’t be surprised, upset, and ostracize those who are bigots, racists, anti environment or sociopathic, it is part of the make up of how societies have operated for thousands of years. It is learned often beaten in psychology, a mind state, and attitude  we together must look at in order for us to hear ourselves.  Ask if this state is a form of domination without  boundaries or care to who or what is damaged.  When we pay attention,  the voiceless get noticed, and those who are helpless,  learn how to stand up to a bully, empowered not to be hindered by others insecurity or be a bully in return.

How do we get rid of the demon of revenge, that can boil and run deep in people and nations? This needs to be addressed from the start of any desire to reform and uplift a collective. Sometimes space is needed which why the respect of borders and sovereignty needs to respected, often we wish to attack a group because of the actions of their government or one person, sadly it is almost instinctual. To avoid bitterness to an entire group is to be clear who or what is the real issue rather than to chastise the whole. Collective punishment is asinine.  Many have had difficult issues with certain groups, let’s use Palestinians and Israelis to a point where they think all of one side is just wrong and evil. When the reality is that most people are pawns in a big chess game where they simply are trying to live and raise a family. The real offenders are usually blaming the others for what they have been accused of, and often are not to hard to figure out whether in front of or behind the curtain so to speak.

Here are stratagems in an effort to stay focused with resolve to find solutions and not be caught into diversions.
The efficacy The key feature of Tadalista is its duration of action. It pays to visit your doctor regularly lowest price on cialis in order to find out the status of your health. Due to its importance in our lives, sexual disorders thus have profound negative impact. In that case, you can viagra uk browse these guys take the clear cut idea about doses by doctor.
First, keep religion out of problem solving. Poverty and war make ones more religious and also desperate, and that is when it used to make the people feel they have a religious crusade to accomplish. When looking at religious tensions, look at the facts, look at the money. Look at the proportionality of the reactions, and victims. Look at the laws, and understand the history.

Second, avoid affirming or denying others religious bias in order to stay focused on the future. When finding resolutions neither encouraging or discouraging religious sentiments is the best solution because the purpose is creating harmony, knowing that others will bring their sentiments with them no matter. It is useless to offer a spiritual platform if one is a mediator, our ability to be non partial is our ability to be just.

Third, Transmutation. Look at how to make things that are negative positive. What can be learned, what is savable, what changes benefit new possibilities. Whether with a friend or on an international stage, nations that learn to adapt and make the best out of their hand create new avenues never before imagined. This process can be used to overt tariffs and sanctions and punish those punishing others by freeing themselves from an economic strongholds. This is a popular method of non violent protest using the free market and public opinion to have the power to not be bullied by those ones rely on financially dominion or thru trade. It can also be as simple as using the garbage around to assist in the plantings  of trees and the building of roads. Make bad shit, high grade manure, nutrient rich ready for any garden. It just a process, Transmutation.

Fourth, The Power of Breathe. It is instinctual to get emotional and want to react in a manner that wants to bully the bully. There are few exclusions, but for the most part it is an innate in the desire to achieve a set goal, to break through resistance. Social dynamics are not the same as hunting, and yet the way societies treat employees to how they act in every level is all part of the desire to use hunting instincts rather than dignified methods based on merit and virtue. The power to Breathe isn’t simply physical, its the power to take the time to think rationally. The faster we think, the more mistakes are made. People who react quick and jump on opportunities are often rewarded but are only tools to the sharks that employ them.  Mean while those who work and think on their own time, create the environment mentally and externally to have the proper time to look at the issues one by one and be fair to themself and their judgements. Stay vigilant but don’t rush, the same mistakes we make in our daily lives governments are making in policies.  People are not as dumb as ones think, they are just pushed and then asked to make a decisions in unfair conditions.  When we breath, sometimes we can beat the game by realizing we don’t need to play it.

" Walking to the Light." By Ras Elijah Tafari

When governments blind the people.Every religion gets manipulated

Greetings in the Name of His Imperial Majestic. Emperor Haile Selassie I, and Empress Asfaw Mennen. Give thanks for The Royal Supreme Balance of Jah in Man and  Woman.  Give thanks for the Gift of Life and the Blessed abilities to share in this journey. Rastafari.

I would like to start this by expresses consciously the deep impact that global issues have on and in InI lives. Often as Rastafari we are silent when tragedy hits because of the spiritual realms that are significant and usually not spoken of. Realms of polarities, and expected extremes that ones seem not comprehend as being products of a toxic environment.

One of those tragedies are the two plane crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. Both are important being they were preventable and due to lack of safety concern from Boeing. Many of us have traveled on Ethiopian Airlines and know it is not just an airline. It is the first Airline in Africa, the biggest, and started by His Imperial Majesty as a method to connect each other to ourselves for unity and  pride. Many amazing people where on board that flight, and we as Rastafari know that it could have been us . This is a reminder why safety regulations whether there are government shut downs or not,  should be strictly enforced for the sake of our lives and technological progress.

Next is the mass murder of Muslims in ChristChurch New Zealand, which Christians around the World should see as a collective attack.  The reason it is a collective attack is because the murdering of innocent men women and children is the opposite of what Christ taught. That murder, war and genocide are colonial methods of ridding the land of poor people who are of a different thought pattern than the desires of an occupier. Muslims are people, who have the right to believe what they want anywhere. I firmly know that the Teachings of Christ, from all True people of God is that Peace can be attained through dialogue and understanding. Fears about Muslims and refugees can be relieved when ones learn the facts about the times and reasons there is so much movement due to displacement. It would be wise for Europe to look at how Portugal approaches refugees and see that good people make a country stronger, no matter where they are from. These disgusting acts of violence made many of us throughout the world sick, the desire to show this slaughter live on net, and show no remorse, is a grim reminder of the danger of fear mongering movies, media, and leaders have on the masses. We should call out and reason with any one who has a desire to imply that Muslims or refuges should be seen as a threat.

In a World with 7 Billion people in it, ones will find those who profess a religion and use their faith as a way to make allowance for a medieval mind state. I will call out 5 of them now, so that it can be seen that this is not an exclusive issue.

1. The Vatican, it is good to see both US states as well as European countries start to lock up pedophile priests. It took far too long, and the protection of the crimes of the Catholic Church is still a global issue. Everyone should have the same law apply equally and non partially.

2. Israel, has been presented with the first of many documents that allege that the Israeli Government has been using snipers to shoot at handicapped and disabled people, medical personnel and journalists. These actions are classified as crimes against humanity. They have no response other than to insult the UN Human Rights Watch. The current leader of Israel,  Benjamin Netanyahu has been indicated on two counts including corruption. It doesn’t matter if your Jewish or not, he is a criminal and should be arrested and tried for war crimes, as well the government held to the same international laws and expectations, that are written in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

3. Saudi Arabia, is a grotesque kingdom of oppression. The Saudi government has been complicit with a number of conflicts including Yemen where their ability to be held accountable for anything not happening. They are elitism plain and simple. The classism within with the structure of the country makes it so there are is only the law of the prince or king as they decide at the time. We have seen lie after lie from Saudi Arabia concerning the murder of the Jamal Khashoggi. Saudi Arabia also works closely with the 2 above mentioned in the selling of weapons. Regardless of the faith they profess they need to be held to the expectations of a world that desires peace and accountability, not the public murders of men women and children.

4. India’s Far Right government is using Hinduism to create a political conservative government that can use religion to breed intolerance. Human Rights violations are regular, the aggressive approach the government takes towards Muslims and Pakistan is a threat to a possible great cooperation in and out of the country. Both Muslims and women in India are murdered without any accountability due to a corrupt system. India is also a very racist and elitist country due to historical religious antidotes. People have been using Hinduisim for centuries to create discord, and it is still the excuse for thousands of human right violations.
Usually, the desire for lovemaking session icks.org levitra 20 mg or libido is not lost but penile erection is either partially achieved or if achieved, it cannot be maintained well for a longer period of time. The probe is cialis generika used to bounce high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) off internal tissues or organs and return the blood to your lungs and heart. Sources note that a full tadalafil side effects penile erection is not necessary that Diagnosis is always straightforward. Other generic medicines taken to combat problems on erectile dysfunction comes in the name of kamagra tablets, kamagra jelly and kamagra soft tablets.
5. Mayanmar, a Buddhist nation is one of best examples of using genocide and murder to acquire land by leaving the Rohingya people stateless and devastated. The U.N. has called it the group, the most persecuted minority in the world. Once again, a leader using religious theology to encourage persecution without accountability.

Notable mention: China, a communist government that feels threatened by religion in general. Also using the ideas of the current Chairman, as well as previous leaders that groups such as the Uighur (pronounced  Weegers )  have been put in prison camps where they are de-programmed or occupied in out air prison communities. They are Muslim and are heavily persecuted.

The reason I am writing this is to demonstrate that every major religion is being used to propel a colonial agenda to seize land and resources. That we shouldn’t believe the hype, that this isn’t about religion. Even the Chinese government that dislikes religion does it in the name of disliking religion. When we look at people and judge them based on their faith we play into the realms of persuasion without evidence. It is older the Scriptures and the strategy and diversion still works. If we are going to make the world a safer and more peaceful place, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights needs to be protected and enforced. It is up to Us to make that happen.

This has been a grim month when it comes to how many innocents have paid the ultimate cost. Through out the world, Our meditations of how to make the world better is the only honor and respect we can show that can be useful to their sacrifice. May Jah Bless their souls and families.

 

May Jah Bless you, and Keep you. May His Face Shine on you, Peace be with you.

Lightening Strikes.Puerto Rico,from a Rastafari perspective pt.1

We are in a time where serious people make history, and it seems so many have distracted themselves or hid themselves at the dis service of society. No matter where, and perhaps I am guilty as well in not helping as much as humanly possible.

A few days ago, I heard the news that the Beaches in Puerto Rico are going to be sold and laws were being passed to facilitate it. I have been to the Occupado “occupy” movement beside the Marriott in San Juan and saw the last 5 acres of the open and wild beach being defended by a hand full of environmentalists and the Local Rastafari Movement.  As they set up Solar powered sound systems and planted indigenous trees, I felt a feeling of hope, though surrounded by hotels that had encroached on the beach, essentially stealing public property. Puerto Rico is the home to huge numbers of Turtles that nest and migrate here, the beaches are not just wonderful for the people, they are the life source of huge numbers and kinds of turtles. When I heard of these laws being changed in order to sell the beaches it was slap in the face to those who have occupied the beach at great personal cost and risk for over 10 years as well as Puerto Ricans as a whole. It was also the feeling of the beginning of the end. Four days ago now seems like a lot of time… https://waragainstallpuertoricans.com/2016/06/26/beaches-of-puerto-rico-are-sold-to-us-billionairesby-puerto-rican-government-traitors/

On Wenesday, June 28th, The “Promesa” bill was passed, NJ Sen. Bob Menendez & Sen. Bernie Sanders called it “Colonialism at its worst.” Since that moment the very real threat of Monsanto fumigating us became a rumor, that made many of us nervous and un-prepared. I realized then, that it doesnt matter what you are doing or had planned, that when that time happens where you are ripped out of your ” bubble” to look at the bare fact that the US government aka BIG BUSINESS is forcing rush decisions to make it’s lasting blow. This has been really a hundred years in the making, 1898 The US forced the people to trade in their money at a 40% loss, and make farmers pay land taxes while allowing rich Americans to not have to pay any tax, local or federally, it spiraled to where the farmers sold the land and moved to the city, and 80 years later, the city is the mainland US. where millions of  Puerto Rican people have gone, in epic proportions. There has not been this many Puerto Ricans gone since the genocide of the Native Taino by the Spanish. Economically forced out or banished, and the land laid to waste until a foreign investor comes around.

Now let me come in here, and say what many of you may be thinking, am I a foreigner, who wants to start a Rastafari Community, buy land, ect… the answer is yes, but that doesnt mean I want to see anyone’s land devaluated, or cultures disrespected or societies where second class citizenship is acceptable. There is no respect for the man who enjoys how much his dollar can get him in a country that has been systematically robbed for hundreds of years. We represent Rastafari, a movement that believes in preservation of Native Culture, Human Rights and the end of Colonization. We are mostly farmers and feel that liberation and liberty is a Spiritual Movement. It is the point of Life, and seeing it denied to anyone is like being in a crime scene. AND that is what Puerto Rico has become, a giant Crime scene in which many are confused, or have built a false hope that justice in America actually exists.

I have had to have to serious reasoning’s with many, and I want to remind people what the USA has done its poor citizens as well as other nations, no matter the color or background. About the Depleted Uranium they used on Iraqi’s, leaving mutated children and also creating gulf war syndrome. About Flint, Michigan and Detroit. About Crack-Cocaine in California that spread across the hemisphere by the USA Government and  openly taught in University. Crimes that get covered up only to be revealed and the people refuse to hold anyone accountable. This dis empowerment and control of the people is global, where the people dont feel like they can reach these criminals and bring them to justice. Here is why, and it is important for Puerto Rico to know too, THERE IS NO DEMOCRACY OR GOVERNMENTS, ITS ALL ILLEGAL, IT IS AN OLIGARCHY. THIS IS RUN BY THE BANKS FOR THE BANKS…HOW DO YOU ARREST A BANK? AND WHO HAS…that is another subject for a different day. Back to Puerto Rico…

It seems we are out of time, that Big Business is here and says they own the spot.. That we are power-less, Well I dont accept that. Being an artist, a friend and I I hit the streets with a mural, which was on an abandoned school, in Aguadilla. The painting was inspired by a cartoon I has seen on this great blog and website, War on All Puerto Ricans (titled after the book). As I painted it , it seemed to go into its own world, where the neighborhood wanted to be included. Hence ” Real G 4 Life.” perhaps a local gang or just a motto, it seemed relative. We need heroes, we need the Real G’s for Life to stand up. No one see’s that real shit coming, but that is what it takes, and when everyone stands up then we have power.. in the next few days, I would realize that the people here could all stand together and it wont change a thing for them, for us it is good and important, but for the big money and power, they dont care, thats why they have politicians so you can blame them and they can lie and write stuff and the people will think change has happened.

This is the back ground, this drama is under way and there is a lot to report, right now things are getting worse and it looks like it will get incredibly bad unless something changes quick. The UN had a meeting on Monday, sponsored by Cuba with the support of many Latin America Countries for Puerto Rico to have equality and justice in some way, whether as a full fledged state or as a Independent Country. Ones can see the details for themselves, what needs to said here, is that relying or hoping for justice for a country that is founded on injustice and is married to a military industrial complex is a disaster.  Can we not see that The United States is a nation that profits from war and turmoil? Naomi Klien in “Shock Doctrine” speaks perfectly about this.

Rastafari has another way, and to Conquer this suffering must be looked at as a Spiritual Movement, based on the precepts of Christianity, for Human Rights and Sovereignty to be respected and protected. We need to look at all Caribbean and surrounding Islands to Latin America to seek out the commonality of not being under the thumb of US laws that prohibit our trade, ports and movement. We Must Arise the Love of God within the People to Love the People whom are the Children of God. Puerto Rico needs to see positive change as a mission from God to save and protect this Island, its people, rivers and future generations. I hope this turmoil makes the desire for independence come forth, but we as Rastafari must do our best to lead from all over the world to help communicate and form a union that can collectively bring security for this whole region, and the Earth. We have received the news that we are going to be gassed with ” NALED ”

NALED is supposedly an insecticide…but it is actually a “leading edge clinical trial drug.” The DBCP experimental derivative called NALED is now produced by Valent USA, which has a global collaboration agreement with Monsanto. NALED is technically called Dibromo-2-Dichloroethylphosphate. This is a derivative of Dibromo-3-Chloropropane (also known as DBCP), which farmers in all 50 states stopped using as of 1985.

They say its to fight mosquitoes but evidence shows it doesn’t work on mosquitoes. It does kill bees and will mix into the water supply. In truth, there needs to be an independent investigation into whether Zika virus has been a media weapon and excuse to use mosquitoes to spray everyone with toxins that are known to cause cancer and birth defects, ( only to blame the mosquitoes). Brazilians say the area that has the most birth defects are the places that were sprayed 18 months ago. Is this a depopulation experiment? It wouldn’t be the first on the island, which has been bombed and sprayed for over 50 years in US experiments.  Today I saw a pregnant woman, it took me a minute to realize I haven’t seen many here, and it is now on every news tv channel, the government saying don’t have children or get pregnant. It seems like from every direction they want the population to go away here, and if the native wont leave, The USA will tax, rob, and slash him until there is only the defiant in which will be gassed, denied doctors,  and left to die. Unless something changes, Unless we change as well, things will not improve. There is so much more, I look forward to sharing and learning, This is Ras Elijah Tafari from Puerto Rico signing out for now.  Pray for the Earth, Pray for the People, Pray for Courage in the face of evil.Pray for Puerto Rico and May All Nations be able to have a Right Government, for the People and by the People.
