Is It Wrong to Wish That Tyrants Die?

Have you ever felt so disgusted, so enraged, so frustrated with a state politi-gangster/criminal that you wished, even secretly, that they would die? Is it wrong to feel that way? Do you demean yourself by feeling and expressing yourself this way? Can such a wish be considered a threat?

It’s easy to understand why you think this way. You wish them dead due to suffering personally or suffering empathetically towards others who have been abused, mistreated, and even killed by their ruling master . You reserve such hatred for only the most egregious, murdering despots.

For those who lived during their time, was it shameful for them to wish that Hitler die (and certainly not by natural means)?
Was is shameful to wish that Stalin die?
Was is shameful to wish that Lincoln die?

I don’t recommend actively pursuing a plan of action to see that such an event occurs, but I see no problem with desiring such an occurrence. I would only avoid allowing such thoughts to become an obsession.

Wishing for the death of murdering, thieving tyrants is a purely natural part of an individual's action of self defense against a predator. It’s a psychological response to a threat where no active, physical response is practical or wise. Better to ease your frustration with bad thoughts aimed at deserving evil individuals than direct, suicidal confrontation. Better to relieve feelings of helplessness and impotence within the private, inner sanctum of your malevolent thoughts than face your target’s protectors.

Fantasy is a psychological defense mechanism that channels unacceptable or unattainable desires into imagination. And it is largely risk free.

Don’t listen to those who suggest shame for thinking that way. They still believe the life long conditioning that self appointed elites are your superiors (despite their despotic extremism) and that it is somehow “wrong” or “unpatriotic” to not remain subservient in action and thought to this perceived “authority.” Their lingering state worship and enslavement is clouding their judgment.

Keep violent, wishful thoughts if you must. It’s healthy. Just don’t forget to take only direct, peaceful action towards sidestepping such tyranny.

And you can even laugh at them while you do it.

Remember

I wrote this essay in 2004. Unfortunately, its content is still relevant.

Many individuals still believe war created by nation states is a viable option to settle disputes.

Many individuals still believe nation states are a necessary institution.

And many individuals keep on believing the lies of confirmed liars.

The video at the bottom was created in 2011.

Ask ten people what Memorial Day is about and you’ll probably receive ten different responses. Mentioned are claims of "recognizing those who have served and fallen in defense or service to their country," "identifying patriots who unselfishly answered the call," and "acknowledging the heroes of battle." A common theme encountered in the discussion is remembrance. But, what else should be remembered? Are there not other aspects of war that need remembering?

Remember the architects of perpetual conflict, the schemers and tacticians who design the strategy, chart the acts of aggression, and lay the blueprints for other’s destruction.

Remember the plague of nationhood that infects the innate free spirit of men, disrupts the natural order of peaceful exchange and fuels the slavish obedience to political orders; regardless their legality or morality.

Remember the irresponsible who jump at the opportunity for conflict, forgetting reason, composure, and diplomacy. Remember how they delegate to others the duty to lead the engagement.

Remember the propaganda meisters who flood the airwaves with poisonous lies to reassure a wary, skeptical public; all carefully calculated to stultify the truth of war’s consequences.

Remember the Masters of War who profit from this heinous spectacle- those who gain power and tarnished wealth. Watch them flaunt their booty paid for with the bloody currency of children not their own.

Remember those who consider it essential that defense of a state’s borders requires committing pre-emptive acts of aggression against people on the other side of the globe.

Remember the cheerleaders who urge on "their" warriors with shouts of jingoistic fervor; yet refuse or find it unnecessary to give up their comfort of state side security.

Remember those who have witnessed, first hand, the horror of battle and tasted the acrid flavor of war’s experience.

Remember those who discover an epiphany, a life changing understanding that war is not the glorious adventure of Hollywood imagery, not the youthful pastime of an entertaining video game.

Remember those of this group who then fail to warn others of this newfound knowledge, who fail to convince compatriots of the needless sacrifice and stolen innocence.

Remember those on the sidelines who do not obey their conscience to speak out against the carnage, who hold their tongues through shyness or cowardice; who stand by silent as family, friends, and neighbors are whisked off to their inevitable doom.

Remember the children who witness war and its atrocities. Remember the confusion within young minds told killing is wrong, than struggle to comprehend the exception of war.

Remember their bewilderment when told to accept the killing of strangers that have done them no harm.

Remember the irreconcilable conflict within the hearts of Christians whose testament instruct "love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you" and "If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also (Luke 6:27-–29)." Remember their befuddlement when finding serving their state requires disregarding these principles. Remember the ideological clash when told serving their "country" preempts faithfulness to their God.

Remember the broken bodies and shattered psyches, still with us to remind us of war’s human cost. Remember the lost potential, the dashed dreams, the oceans of shed tears, the newly discovered war against desperation and hopelessness.

Yes, remember the fallen, the dead. Visit their resting places with solemn respect. Make note of their obscenely abundant and escalating numbers.

Remember that each grave has a face, a story, a soul represented by that slab of coldly etched stone or weathered cross.

Then, remember the graves throughout the world without adornment of a marker- a name, an individual, sentenced to a burial of eternal anonymity. Don’t the numbers now grow exponentially? Some were enemies, some were allies. Remember they also once walked the earth as those you honor. Remember they also aspired to a life of peaceful contentment, though driven by a different philosophy or creed as a means to obtain it.

Remember how, when living, all sides were compelled by opposing views of righteousness but now all are colleagues in death.

Do not only grieve for their loss but remember the lies and liars that killed them.

B.B. King- The Greatest Performer I’ve Ever Seen

B.B. King, 1925-2015

For most of us, it’s not often we have the opportunity to witness performance genius up close and personal. In the late 1980’s, over three consecutive Februarys, I was fortunate enough to see B.B. King in live performance.

He appeared all three of those dates at a small dance club, that to my knowledge, never had live music on a regular basis- let alone host a concert by one of the giants of popular music. This little club even had some of those disco-ish, metal cages that professional dancers would dance inside. How did B.B. wind up here, I thought? Was he good friends with the owner? Was he repaying a debt he owed? For whatever reason, it allowed me a chance to view the most soulful live performer I have ever seen.

Each of those dates I watched him perform, I sat closer to the small stage where he and his incredible band were perched. The final time, my table was no more than about eight feet from the stage.

B.B., at that time, was in middle age, but still had all the fire and passion of his younger days. But now, he also possessed the maturity of a seasoned showman after decades in the business.

To me, B.B. King is unarguably one of the best blues singers ever. You’ll get no argument from me if you claim he is the best. Couple that claim with another- one of the best (and certainly most influential) blues guitarists ever. I can’t think of another blues performer who was so talented at both voice and guitar. Certainly, no one was more soulful.

B.B. would sing his songs with such force and conviction there was no way you could not pay attention. He would play his guitar with so much feeling and lyrical beauty, he could make you weep. Literally. He didn’t play a lot of notes in a short amount of time to impress. Rather he had the genius to play just the right note at the right time to effectively communicate his musical message.

Being close to the stage, I could enjoy all the facial expressions and contortions that showed how he felt every single note that was transmitted from his brain to his fingers. There was never any just “going through the motions” to perform a song that he had already played hundreds of times before.
He played every song with complete conviction and emotional involvement.

The guitar is my favorite instrument to listen to. I love its versatility and the infinite variety of sounds it can produce. I enjoy listening to it play just about any genre of music, but the blues is my undeniable favorite. Play me some 12-bar git-tar blues and I am in heaven.

I’ve been able to see live, several of the great blues guitarists- Freddie King, Johnny Winter, Albert Collins, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robert Cray, JJ Cale, and Lonnie Mack, among them. But I never saw anyone with the combination of both raw power, sophistication, and showmanship than that offered by B.B. King. And I’ve never been able before or since to watch such beautiful brilliance from a mere eight feet away!

Thank you, B.B. King for all the great joy and amazement your music has provided over the years. Thank you for your unheard of 70 year career of superior artistry.

So many great and promising guitarists died young, never allowing their listeners to enjoy the apex of their craft. Fortunately, we were allowed to enjoy your genius until every ounce of life and vigor in your body had been consumed by time. Speaking for myself, we are both blessed.

Here’s one of my favorites. Don’t be fooled by the image- that’s James “Boogaloo” Bolden, B.B.’s wonderful trumpet player who plays a great solo:

 

Politicians Doing What Politicians Do Best........

......Pissing on the world while talking gibberish.

Then metaphorically flushing the lives of sovereigns down the proverbial toilet.

NOTICE TO BALTIMORE PROPERTY OWNERS:

The pigs will not protect your property.

They will only protect themselves, their paychecks and their pensions.

Do whatever necessary to protect YOUR property.

Hire a well trained sniper or two to position on your roof tops and take out any perpetrators aggressing against your property. These animals are cowards, and when seeing just a couple of their cohorts extinguished, it will send them running.

Peace will return shortly thereafter.

The Pope- Holy Father & Weather Man

Pope Francis, Gatekeeper to God for all souls who consider themselves Catholic, has turned his attention to a more earthly “problem” - climate change.

It seems the Pope is preparing a much anticipated “papal letter” directed toward his overseers (bishops) concerning this fraudulent “science.” He is looking for earthly leaders to make “courageous decisions” to combat the supposed phenomenon, “regardless of its cause.”

His first target is the U.N. (Gatekeepers to Freedom) where he expects these “courageous decisions” to be made. I’m sure such decisions will be voluntary suggestions for us lowly peasants who destroy the planet. Yea, right.

Instead the attitude will be: You who strive to be “fruitful and multiply” and govern the earth for your benefit are way out of control and in dire need of (mandatory) direction from globalist elites, secular or otherwise.

It seems the Pope became “awakened” after visiting with survivors of Typhoon Haiyan. Apparently, the Pope thinks this is the first time in earth’s history that such a storm has occurred and is oblivious to the fact that strong, damaging storms have been originating from oceans of the world long before man was around to name them, let alone allegedly cause them.

“I don't know if (human activity) is the only cause, but mostly, in great part, it is man who has slapped nature in the face. We have in a sense taken over nature."

I would counter that it seems that Ma Nature has been doing all the face slapping for millennia, despite the pathetic attempts of humankind to “take over.” I wonder if the Pope has actually spent any extended time actually out in nature. I doubt if he would make such laughable claims if he had.

With his forthcoming, fancy sounding “letter,” the Pope “is expected to tie together the environment, development and concern for the poor. It will be published over the summer, in time for the U.N. General Assembly’s discussion on sustainable development in September and the Climate Change Conference meeting on reducing global warming in Paris in December.”

So we can look forward to still another “conference” of Global Gate Keepers (paid for with millions in money stolen from peasants), to create still more “studies,” (paid for with millions in money stolen from peasants), to offer mandatory actions (paid for with millions in money stolen from peasants), that will only produce still more poverty and misery among these very same peasants. But it will enrich and empower still more bureaucrats, operatives, and collaborators.

But wait! This time, such actions will be blessed by one of the premier Gatekeepers to God and we polluting vermin get to witness a miracle- the umpteenth repackaging of Marxism; a demonic, enslaving political and economic system that keeps being resurrected.

“This has generated more excitement than almost any other papal document that I’ve heard of in the last 10 years,” said Daniel P. Scheid, an assistant professor of theology at Duquesne University, a Catholic school in Pittsburgh.

How will the Pope react if the peasants resist such orders? Will he side with “the poor” who he claims to represent, or will he endorse the coercive direction of the global elites with which he has teamed? Will it be “Praise the Lord and ignore that state goon’s gun pointed at your temple?”

"The threats that arise from global inequality and the destruction of the environment are interrelated; and they are the greatest threats we face as a human family today," [Cardinal Peter] Turkson said in what was regarded as a preview of the encyclical.

Can you think of better code words for coerced wealth redistribution than “global inequality” and the aforementioned “development?”

Jessica Hellman, an associate professor of biological sciences at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, said she expected the pope to frame the problem as a moral one.

When an argument cannot be supported by science, when an argument cannot be supported by
reason and when an argument cannot even be supported by logic is when desperate meddlers resort to “morality” as their justification.

If an argument fails the test of fact, reason and logic, marketing it as “virtuous” can always be counted on to win converts among the airhead, intellectually lazy populace that feels rather than thinks. It will be accepted by those who see a smiling man, saintly dressed in white, and instantly consider him trustworthy.

How can such a gullible person resist such a coercive action when marketed as “moral?” Such a proposed action just feels right and is promoted by a pleasant, disarming, man in a long, white robe who has written a paper impressively described as an “encyclical.” How can it not be okay?

Let me offer some reality to His Holiness: Just as manure stinks, climate changes. That’s what it does. Human individuals have adapted and adjusted to such changes throughout the history of the species. Individual thought and creativity, rather than centrally planned dictates from global tyrants with subjugating agendas, tend to offer the most competent solutions.

Many collective actions sold “in the name of God” or “for the good of the country” or “for the good of the earthly world” often result in physical enslavement as well as spiritual enslavement. Religious gatekeepers and politicians are the primary culprits. Even just a cursory study of history will show that.

Here’s hoping that Catholics and all other religionists view their gatekeepers as the fallible, not divine, creatures they are. Just as I hope they view their political gatekeepers with the same suspicion. Don’t allow your chosen spiritual consciousness to be hijacked and abused by salesman offering failed and even enslaving “solutions.” Particularly, those “solutions” where no problem even exists.

Instead, use the wonderful, discerning mind your creator gave you, for Christ’s sake.

If not yours.
