God and Evil
My understanding of God is, to say the least, inadequate and incomplete. Even less understood than God is my understanding of Evil.
I am convinced Evil is a real force, whether it's name is Lucifer, Satin, The Devil, or even just an impersonal something that seems bent on causing misery and suffering, I am convinced that, whatever it is, it is a real force.
Faces in the pictures of the 9/11 event, I found these very convincing. I know people see bunnies in clouds and demonic images in random noise. When I saw this particular image in the paper it hit me hard and instantly.
I realized this was not as it seemed. This was not crazy Islamic terrorists bringing down buildings to force us out of the middle east. This event would be used to justify our killing people in the middle east. The force behind it is incredibly evil. It wants us to die or be in fear of dying, to suffer, or be in fear of suffering. It wants to control us. Evil seems to thrive on this kind of negative energy, hatred and fear.
There are many reasons to think that the 9/11 event was not of Arab origin, that it was contrived by people who really run the world, people often referred to as "The Illuminati", though anyone that would do this and use it to commit genocide are anything but illuminated.
The CIA met with Osama Bin Laden in a hospital one month prior to this event. Two weeks prior, the regular security force was removed from the building and there is a strong indication that explosives were planted. Visually, if you've ever seen a controlled implosion, watching those buildings fall was a classic example. There is no known explanation for the collapse of a nearby office building. It happened that Enron records were stored in the Twin Towers. Citibank collected millions of dollars of insurance money when another building collapsed without explanation. The scene was cleaned up so rapidly that the opportunity to collect forensic evidence was extremely limited. Some people received warning calls before the events. People on many floors were locked in and unable to reach the stairs to escape. Others were told to remain in the building while it was on fire.
I could go on but you all know how to use Google, so I will not. The aftermath is what is important. George Bush used this as an excuse to invade Iraq even though the CIA had indicated that Iraq had no part in this, the hijackers that were identified came from Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
Even so, I do not believe George Bush was involved in the initial plot; he was reading to children in a school and when told of the news froze up for some period of time, total emotional overload, not something someone involved would have experienced, but he certainly took advantage of the opportunity it presented.
I do not know who is behind this event but I do know it was a force that is incredibly evil. It is, I think, even more important to understand this force than it is to understand God. Know thy enemy.
Sadam is dead, there are no weapons of mass destruction, let's get out of Iraq and get on with life. We've sacrificed enough of our children already and we've murdered enough Iraqi's.
At one time I thought the invasion of Iraq was about obtaining oil or securing US access to the middle eastern oil reserves. At one time Henry Kissinger stated, "Oil is too valuable of a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs.", and I believe Gorge Bush was acting upon that statement.
Then I discovered we were swimming in the stuff. The United States has enormous oil reserves. They aren't the easiest to get at but they are huge. We have a super giant field in the gulf of Mexico, bigger even than Ghwar in Saudi Arabia. Even though this was publically touted as a recent discovery, Exxon has known about it for years. We have another super giant field deep under Utah and Colorado. This oil, like the abiotic oil in Russia, requires drilling more than 20,000 feet and through granite bedrock to get at, but it is this type of oil that allowed Russia, in 2005, to surpass Saudi Arabia and become the worlds largest oil producer and exploratory wells have been drilled and proven it's existence. We have enormous tar sands and oil shale, bitumen reserves. And if that weren't enough we have huge reserves of heavy and super-heavy crude like that in Venezuela in California.
All of these US sources are either relatively expensive to produce ($12-$15 a barrel verses around $3.50 a barrel in Iraq, and $8 in Saudi Arabia) or to refine because heavy crude like that in California requires additional cracking to render lighter hydrocarbon products useful in gasoline and diesel fuels. Sour crude (sulfur rich) requires additional refining to remove the sulfur to comply with environmental laws.
With the world market at around $70 per barrel, these sources are more than marginally profitable. If middle eastern producers freely produce their oil and dump it on the market, it will drive the market prices down reducing profits for the oil companies. Iraq wasn't about stealing oil, it was about reducing production. They did steal what oil was produced, but the production is now half of what it was before the war. Keeping production at this lower level is the reason we remain in Iraq.
This is evil, the terminator seed is another. The terminator seed was developed to force farmers to buy seed every year rather than saving some from last years crop. This drives up the price of food for everyone and in poorer countries it drives the cost up so high it is not affordable and people starve as a result.
The way the nuclear industry is managed is evil. We could have a safe nuclear program producing no long term nuclear waste, but ample clean electrical energy. Instead we have an unsafe industry, producing large quantities of long term radioactive waste, and inadequate quantities of clean electricity.
Why? Because if we adopted reactors capable of burning up actinides, they would extract about thirty times more energy from the same fuel in the process of burning up transuranics that would otherwise become a 20,000 year storage problem. Cheney has interests in coal and uranium mining. This would make his mines essentially worthless.
In Iran, they have developed a bacterial agent which is capable of extracting uranium from low grade ores at a cost of one one-hundredth of that of conventional methods. I believe it is for this reason the Bush administration does not want Iran to develop their own fuel cycle technology. By making very low grade ores commercially viable fuel sources, holders of mineral rights to high grade ores would see an appreciable devaluation of those holdings.
If you don't believe oil prices are being manipulated, then why is it that when Republicans control government, the price of oil drops just prior to elections and then rebounds afterwards, but when Democratically control government, the price of oil increases prior to elections and drops afterwards? I think the answer is obvious, oil companies prefer the hands off don't give a shit about the environment approach of the Republicans.
The damage to our fellow human beings, other life forms, and the planet as a whole, is evil. But evil is more than just companies wanting to do as they please without regards to the impact it has on everyone and everything else, whatever this evil force is, it wants to cause fear, hatred, and suffering. It's not just uncaring, it's malicious.
Mostly, we can just see the effects of evil and deduce some of it's properties. It's true nature is hidden, but one thing I am sure of, it thrives on the fear and hatred and to combat it we must stop allowing it to manipulate us into hating and being in fear, starve it to death.
