The Greening of America / It's Final Act Is Approaching

The Greening of America is a 1970 book by Charles A. Reich. It is a paean to the counterculture of the 1960s and its values. Excerpts first appeared as an essay in the September 26, 1970 issue of The New Yorker. The book was originally published by Random House.

JFK assassinated in 1963

RFK assassinated in June, 1968

MLK assassinated in August, 1968

Richard Nixon was sworn in as president in January 1970 but the country had never fully recovered from the loss of JFK, RFK and Martin Luther King, Jr ~ we were in a state of moral apathy and perfect fodder for Nixon and Kissinger to manipulate our collective fears by bombing Cambodia and then Nixon increased domestic spying.

My whole life has been a journey, a quest, to find a lost little boy within myself who once knew, and longed to share the truths that I am now sharing with you; a 4 year old boy who profoundly experienced at the deepest level within himself, a love and joy that indelibly connected him to everything around him. That experience was my first awareness of a Unified Field of love and soul consciousness which I was an integral part of ~ and I fully surrendered to the bliss of being in that Field of love and soul consciousness and never forgot it.  See VT Article ~ http://www.veteranstoday.com/2016/01/18/on-turning-82-and-owning-a-great-truth/

Just as becoming a Navy Fighter pilot was an important part of my destiny and brought me to the San Francisco Bay area ~ my precognitive vision of the Golden Gate Bridge was a door that was opened to me as a young child and not only let the future in but proved to me that this state of love and soul consciousness not only existed beyond time and space but was also the sole constant of the universe.

Which brings me to our current social revolution in 2016 which has revealed  an anti-war movement against the corporate state, initiated by Bernie Sanders and carried on by Jill Stein and the Green Party which will hopefully eventually grind to a halt the gears of war and enlist millions of our youth in its implementation.

“I don’t think Trump really wants the job and his agenda is Israel first and America second ” ~ Wilkerson on Trump

“The war instrument is the first instrument of choice with Hillary versus Diplomacy and that bothers me”  ~ Wilkerson on Clinton

“Her foreign policy is straight out of the neocon playbook where the war option is foremost ~ she’s a war president ” ~ Wilkerson on Clinton

“Mike Pense is a scary proposition and many of his positions scare  the bejesus out of me ” ~ Wilkerson on Mike Pense

Paul Fay’s last comment of interview ~ ” Whoever wins the election, there better be a massive anti-war movement already in place” ~ to which I add we are already in the process of accomplishing this with Jill Stein and the Green Party but we desperately need her progressive voice in the upcoming Presidential debates.

Those who paid attention just witnessed a corporate coup in the democratic primary. The oligarchy, operating through the DNC and corporate media, and colluding with the Clinton campaign, stole an election, defrauded the American people of their rightful democratic process, and is intent on installing Hillary, their corrupt hopeful successor to their current servant Barak Obama. (I voted for him the first time and learned a new level of discernment.)

They don’t realize that what we now have, hidden behind the facade of democracy, and what Hillary will further empower, just as Obama has, is worse than anything Trump could accomplish.

The media, and now their frightened citizen cheerleaders and apologists for Hillary, wants to convince us that our only choice is between an inflated narcissist desperate for attention, and a calculating sociopath committed to handing more control over the world to the corporate military state.

If people were willing to face this ugly reality and realize the real choice we face is to either vote our conscience or betray it we would begin to actually become a real democracy and a people worthy of it.

I’ve been posting a quote from time to time that you’ve probably once heard, from Edward R. Murrow: “A nation of sheep will in time breed a government of wolves.”

And that’s how we got where we are. Keep up the good work!” Doug

In short, Charles Reich’s The Greening of America in 1970 predicted a social revolution unlike any others in our past, originating from individuals, such as myself and others, as well as all classes and cultures.

This revolution will indeed begin to change the political structure in 2016 by challenging the corporate state ~ and the new generation propelling this change, as dramatically demonstrated by the Sanders campaign, are the Millennials who are now carrying the glowing Olympic torch of true political change as represented by Black Lives Matter and the populist, anti-war theme of the Green Party’s Jill Stein.

And ironically in 2016, the rich and poor classes and corporate states have gathered,as we are now currently witnessing at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro ~ while looming high above is the ultimate social revolutionist Christ the Redeemer,created by Polish-French sculptor Paul Landowski  in 1931.

98 Feet tall and standing 2300 feet above the city and the Olympic stadium,its sandstone hands outstretched and seemingly imploring us to Love one another but in a far different tone ~ for now it adds, with the advent of the nuclear age as well as the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasakiin 1945, Love one another or you perish.

“Therefore, despite all checks and improbabilities, we are inevitably approaching a new age, in which the world will throw off its chains and at last give itself up to the power of its inner affinities.

Either we must doubt the value of everything around us, or we must utterly believe in the possibility, and I should add, in the inevitable consequences of universal love.”  Teilhard de Chardin

We are all in a sense Hibakushas (Moral survivors of the August,1945 Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki )
