No, no, no, don’t vote in a member of management as president of your local!

THE ILLUSION OF PROSPERITY AND A SECRET TABOO
       In the 70’s when I entered the work force full time, unions were very controversial. In 1975 a union was voted in where I worked, much to the consternation of the chief influence peddler, I mean, department head. To everyones astonishment the bosses assistant ran for president of our local…and won! The union reps were tearing their hair out. No, no, no, don’t vote in a member of management as president of your local!

            It took a few years to dismantle this lackey system, but the union raised a lot of standards and brought the pay scale more in line with neighboring towns and eviscerated the small town corruption. New equipment stopped disappearing and town workers stopped going to the boss’s house to clean windows and paint. My dad was in the union and I got updates from him because I had moved out of state. I had moved to a “right to work” state, which is Republican Party code for NO Unions Allowed.

     How can an organization speak for an individual voter, but on the other hand, there was always the old timer regaling us with stories of the old days, “Unions fought for the rights you have today you lazy ass kid!” Some remembered the bloody strikes of yore or heard tales from parent’s, aunts and uncles. 

     Unfortunately, union wages far outstripped national averages during the 70’s, and unions priced American goods beyond what people in other countries could afford, yet historically, unions tempered the horrors of disgusting, dehumanizing factories of the Industrial Age. 

The question to ask is how best to represent workers on a planet         wide basis because corporations just wander the globe looking for the least costly and most servile workers. A great fear amongst predatory capitalists is the day when all the workers hold the line together. As it’s asked in a song by hair metal band Poison, “It just makes me wonder why the poor eat hand to mouth while the rich drink from the golden cup. Why do so many lose and so few win?”

Unions are needed badly in many countries, and have not outlived their usefulness. Many unions had become bloated and complacent and corrupt in the United States and need to be modernized for the 21^st century. They need to be modified without the taint of commuism, representing workers during the rise of Enlightened and Sustainable Capitalism as we abandon Predatory Capitalism and the chalkboard Utopia of Soc            .   

So     
  I agree, if a union has helped you reach equitable comparative pay and you can manage to negotiate within management then by all means, vote the union out. There are progressive companies such as Whole Foods Market that have many clever and generous ways for employees to get better pay through incentives, productivity and smooth operations without the intervention and bureaucracy of unions. Ideally it should be easy to vote in unions and easy to vote them out. Many modern industries are fair to their workers but there are also many that are not and there IS corporate tyranny on the jobsite.

An American should have the right to allow a union to step in and individuals should not fear corporate reprisals as workers at McDonalds and Walmart know only too well in their attempts to unionize these low wage, no benefit, highly profitable corporations. 

How about a worldwide minimum wage of one dollar an hour? There’d be so much chaos. “Cancel the order for the Rolls Royce and the quarter million dollars of furniture for the guest house, things are going to get tight with this global union nonsense taking hold.” Something economists don’t see is that if that worker in the sneaker factory in Thailand or Bangladesh made a dollar an hour instead of 25 cents an hour the price of the sneaker would only go up from seventy dollars to seventy five dollars because as we now know, most of the cost goes to the corpulent export executives.

The global sweatshop has proven to have inhumane conditions, so why not pay 7% more for those sneakers so workers can have a livable wage and a life worth living? A dollar an hour minimum wage for the world, would finally make a better life for many millions, perhaps even a billion people and slightly higher prices for those of us that can affor.

 If foreign goods began to go up in price because of higher labor costs then guess who benefits? We do! Get it? This is when inflation is a good thing; American goods still cost the same while those sneakers from Thailand will cost more and the more these Corporate Slaves in other countries get paid, the more competitive American products become. We can’t lose! It’s in our best interest to promote safety and good pay in all jobsites around the world no matter what the grumpy neocons may tell you. 

This is the secret corporate taboo no one is to speak akof. Union is the word we dare not spe.

         

              TABOO NUMERO 2

I’ve always thought it was unusual that in this country we find glory and patriotism in the killing of people. Yet one thing that makes America unique is the fact that more people from more different countries have arrived on these shores. So why kill people that are potential Americans? It’s unfortunate that patriotism requires us to enthusiastically hate our enemies, “Huns”, “krauts”, “nips”, “gooks” and now “Sand monkeys.” Then we’re told the United States is slipping into third world conditions with our liberal educational system. Well, the truth is, thanks to unions, we have only emerged from our own third world working conditions since 1945. We started slipping back in the 80’s because most Republican jobs are low paying service industry jobs. 

 Civil rights advocates were abused and hassled and murdered. I’m not seeing how going back to that era, the golden age of the 50’s, would be good. Those who fought for civil rights were brave patriots who were directly fighting for equality and their constitutional rights in their own country, and there was no lifetime military pension as incentive either. They fought for equality and what was right and they did it right here in this country. Why are they not considered patriots?

 Boomers, stand up to this claim that we are a lazy and immoral generation. We have discarded a lot of unfair traditions of racism and sexism. It was the “greatest generation’ that left us with 10,000 years of nuclear contamination to store and 160 toxic nuclear sites and aging nuclear power plants that will need to be decommissioned at a zillion dollars apiece. It was the greatest generation that told black people to stand up and get out of “their” seat and supported segregation as it persisted through the sixties, mostly in the south, and they wistfully want to return to those days when men could beat their children and wives and there was nowhere for these victims to go. 

       The boomers managed to change these cultural nightmares and it was the parents of the greatest generation that did the lion’s share of risky strikes, labor reform and unionization during the 30’s which shook the corporate world and finally gave American workers a good living and lifted us out of third world conditions. Look up the Ludlow Massacre of 1918 to get a feel for the beginning of that era. 

 In 1918, my grandmother was twelve years old and working 12 hours a day in a factory. Meanwhile the company big wigs were at the country club clipping fat cigars and drinking martinis as they laughed at the workers who had to beg to take a bathroom break. I remember the pain in her face as she recounted some of this type of corporate cruelty.                                        

Imagine that a long time ago, in 1834, one of the first organized labor strikes occurred. What I read is that child laborers went on strike to lower the work week to six days and limiting the workday to 12 hours. Factories and many other large companies really treated workers poorly. Our American ancestors, endured difficult, torturous working conditions.

 Still today, so many employees are pushed beyond their endurance, but they keep going and going. Have you ever seen a 7-11 at lunch hour when there is only one employee? This cannot be the life the Creator intended and it’s very sad that so many people freely give their lives to enrich the few unworthy ones. 

There’s no denying the extreme bravery of those in a war zone. But I ask myself, was it our victory in World War 1 (1914-1919) over the “Huns” that improved working conditions for my grandmother? NO! The child labor laws enacted during the Progressive Era and their enforcement as years went on was how her life improved; these labor reformers are the patriots to me. Fighting the corporations and eventually all this reform paid off with the prosperity of the 50’s and 60’s which the “greatest generation” primarily enjoyed!

Other examples of patriots…..how about the suffragettes? For over fifty years they endured the criticisms and efforts to thwart them. But of course they were right; half the countries population was finally given a voice in 1920. Till then women were not allowed to vote. Talk about third world conditions!

Of course we have advanced a lot further than many countries, like China, whose tyrannical communists have conceded only one reform to labor activists. Women are now allowed a 15 minute break to give birth. Then it’s back to work making “happy meal” toys for McDonalds.

DEMON RAPTURE The Mother Returns

"she is awake"

                    She went into a deep trance to pick up the cumulative vibrations of the humans. 
                Her lip curled in disgust, “Uh!  It’s dank- it’s heavy, oppressive-unclean…..why are they so violent, competitive and mean spirited?” She looked at them as if to say 'what were you thinking? The Goddesses cringed, their whole Project could get cancelled and they would have to start over. “What have you done?” The Ancient Mother cried angrily.

“A creature called Lucifer has become our nemesis, he is some   manifestation of the Doomsday Hound we presume,”she was told.  The Ancient Mother nodded solemnly in recognition of this setback. 

              

Another Goddess added, “They are  scared of reincarnating back into this world. Billions have painful, torturous and deprived lives because of the elite humans that control their labor,” explained Mary; sometimes referred to as the Virgin Mary by the humans. “They have been brainwashed with a religion that promises that an oppressive life of coercion and tyranny is acceptable, because there is a place called Heaven that will be their reward for obeying their clergy and giving money to the abomination they created in my Son’s name." 

Mary continued as Gaia the Ancient Mother listened, "They all end up in the Heavenly Veles anyways and they are among the most confused that come to us, while taking the longest to reach attunement with their vibrational self.  They are brainwashed with the repetition of many lies their entire life, explained Mary---the Goddess most attuned with the peasants. After all, only the Goddess Mary lived an entire human life, amongst the nine.

  

        Nu-Kua made an announcement, “They have……….harvesters out now…..I feel them.” 
         To the earthlings these evil soul harvesters appear as angels.   “First you must sell your soul,” the angel would tell them. Once the evil white angels lured them to Hell, they would meet Lucifer personally, Lucifer then tells them at the gates of his kingdom: within view of carnivals and circuses and golf courses. "That's the price of admission. I own your soul!" Mua ha ha ha, he is quoted as saying.             

“This they do Ancient Mother, going to this corrupt version of the Veles where they will never be reborn or advance spiritually. Lucifer sucks the life out of their soul to build his kingdom,”explained Dexsiua. "He wrote three books that have deceived the world called the Torah and Bible and Koran.

“A dimensional world,” the Ancient Mother asks and the goddesses nod, “……A dimensional world I can crush with a clap of my hands?” she asks.

     “Yes ancient mother,“they say respectfully, 
      “But wait!” they pleaded hoping to  stop  another set of earthquakes. 
      “We want to let the worst of the evil people   go there first."  
       Cerridwen pleaded, “Many good people have hope that there is something wonderful for them in the afterlife. Let’s stay the course and bring people into a more spiritual place before we all leave. We can keep improving, I know we can. People need to see us. They need a miracle of some sort.”

                                                                                                                            
   They have met in a very special place; a geomagnetic cluster of rocks amidst a grove of evergreens, mostly spruce, at the edge of earths melting tundra, somewhere in northern Canada. The Goddesses and the Ancient Mother feel all the life around them and can move any object at will but are not physically present to humans unless they want to be.  The Goddesses float in and out of the meeting as they tend to business elsewhere.                          

         Time marched on till July 2017 and the humans were starting to think that maybe they were safe, there had been no large geological disasters for three years and many of the roads through the Rocky Mountains have been repaired. There had been hardly even minor earthquakes to report. Things had gotten too quiet say many, something big was coming and the 6 inch rise in the ocean seemed about right once  half of the sea ice was permanently melted in the record heat of 2015. 

    

As it turns out, Zemynas(The Ancient Mothers real name) tectonic plate manipulations relieved pressure on faults that were going to collide within 50 years anyways; and though many died, she saved many millions of lives because the earthquakes were going to occur in larger cities such as Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.   Plate tectonics was very much a normal geological event but a devastating end of the world scenario for the modern humans. 

    A group of campers were also  deep in the Boreal Forest  in a place they hoped had never been seen by humans.  They camped for the night and the more spiritual  and serious pagans gathered for one ceremony that they  like to use. They are simple Druddites and they chose a Mother Mary Flower Altar ritual. It seemed respectful, in  tune with the spirit of nature; and deeper spiritually for Christians who have fled Roman Catholicism and souless Prodestantism, for earth based pagan groups these last few years as a reaction to the tectonic shifting and economic calamity it caused. 

Three days ago when the Druddite Rangers set out on their hike, they packed a couple dozen roses in a cool container on ice and the roses travelled pretty well. Not well known by Christians is that Mother Mary is considered by many pagan affiliations one of the Goddesses  since she supplanted over a hundred goddesses in Europe as Christians forcibly converted many different cultures in the Holy Rampage of Conquest. 

                                                                                                                        
They each took a rose, then one person at a time, threw the rose on the big rock in the center, and offered a “Thank You Goddess.” Then they mentioned something positive that they enjoy about their life. “Thank you Goddess.” They all said as they offered thanks and a rose.  The Goddesses and Zemyna looked on admirably and surprised they would find this place and have such an authentic display of  Love. As the Flower Altar Ritual ended, another little group was preparing to do a Moon ritual when it seemed as if something had begun to materialize over the big rock. It  looked to be a shadowy purple rose.

 Elsewhere on the planet, a million possibilities have been offered. Doomsday cults emerged after the earthquakes and the three fastest growing religions are Taoism, the breakaway American Catholic Church and the Pagan Reform Temple that has unified all the solitaries. The voice of the Ancient Mother asked the Goddesses, “You say they need a miracle? How about 300 foot Tsunamis?” she deadpanned with her inimitable sense of humor. 
                                                                                       

     “NO. No Wait,” Said some of the Goddesses.


                                                                                                                    "Please wait,” said others.   

                                                                                                                                                                                     
Jurate, the ocean goddess said, “So many dead already,” but Diana assured her, “They will go to the Veles, and will be reborn in a much more peaceful world,” going along with Zemynas(the  ancient mothers)little joke.                                                              

               The Ancient Mother summoned Mary. “You seem to have the best rapport with our humans, why don’t you go and even up the score with this clown Lucifer, and give them a miracle. Give them something so they will know we are here. We can defeat the Doomsday Hound, puh, pretending to be God, I'll show him. I can't wait to kick his sorry ass into another universe,” as She gave Mary a knowing wink. They had talked a lot the last five years and Mary tried to understand what the Ancient Mother could have meant. A miracle? Make it subtle………and clever is what the wink implied.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

                        How she would do that she, didn’t know, but did notice the Druddite Rangers had begun throwing roses on the rock below her and were offering thankful praises as she listened.  An hour later, at 11:11, she made the purple goddess rose appear to the humans and then she appeared herself. Around the world rose buds formed and roses around the world went into prolific spectacular bloom on the day and night; more vividly near Marian apparition sites such as Fatima and Lourdes and Conyers, Georgia and many recognized the symbolism and miracle of the rose. The subtle miracle.

        After throwing the last rose and after the last thankful prayer, the Waxing Moon Blue Crue was ready for their midnight waxing moon ritual when Mary appeared. She spoke without an ounce of dramatic flair, as their jaws dropped to the ground, “Pagans, I appear to you this fortuitous night because we were also meeting in this very spot. We have never seen the human form in our special place, when you all showed up. If there’s a more respectful group of people I couldn’t tell you. That rose ceremony is very beautiful, so thank you all but please remember that praise and worship should never get too involved, you are better off  using  the  time helping all our human, animal and plant friends or praying for others as I have asked, and yes we are real, be assured of that.”                                                                                                                     “Do you mean you and Jesus?” asked one of the Drudds.

Jesus chasing the bankers out of the Temple

  Marys memory quickly went to an incident back in The Veles about ten years back. Jesus was being held by the collar by God, “calm down son.” Joseph the Carpenter ended up becoming one of the Gods after he died around 25 A.D., being married to Mary.                                                               

 “How about a cup of your anger Dad? For crying out loud, aren’t you upset? How about a half a diddley doo cup of your anger, please? (Jesus talks like Ned Flanders when he’s upset).The American Congress will not pass a law outlawing usury, they don’t even discuss it, they even bail them out as needed. I’m telling you there’s not enough room in hell for all these siddely diddely sinners! Bankers are naught but a pit of vipers. How much of this do I need to see? The second coming is nigh!”

        “No not yet,”said God impatiently.

        “Let me at ‘em!”

        “Mary, come over here and talk to your son please.

        “Patience is rewarded Jesus.” She calmly explained.

        “Aw Mom. Soon?”   
        "Soon."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

                 Snapping back to the present she told the Drudds  “No, my son often pleads to return again but I had always told him no. We are the bringers of life to this plane and the one above it. Jesus was….” She stopped talking and looked behind the Drudds….. and the light blue form of Lucifer began to appear. She smiled wryly……..she had hoped to lure him out. She had been to Hell before and raised havoc with his demons but had never harmed him.

 

 

Lucifer looked around to see that all his helpers had fled, the rat demons. Gathering nervousness gave way to alarmed dread as he realized he was suddenly powerless. “No. Not now, you’ve tricked me! I just wanted to see if the Mother was awake!” He tried to flee but was frozen , she had him in some sort of cosmic half nelson. Actually the goddessess unseen by Lucifer had him in a trap spell.

            “You changed the world when you allowed my son to die, he was to be the divinity on earth, to assist the goddesses.  You stole his power, evil dude, and voided what was to be his greatest miracle. The humans got one thing right, you really are The Great Deceiver and the Father of all Lies”

            “It wasn’t me, Pilate took his magic: his sorcerers did.”

         MARY SAID, "You liar, I dispose of  you not as  revenge for my son but because you are no damn good” She held her hands out, Drudd style in the ‘fence of protection’ and instantly his form was turned into  powder that floated briefly. All that was left of him were the iron molecules he used to assume his shape so long ago, and these percolated into the soil till they reached the molten iron core of the earth  to await the day when our Sun and Planets would blow up.                 .      

                The wide eyed Drudds knew they would never be the same. One of them looked at his friend standing nearby and said, “She kicked his ass dude.” More dark angels appeared, then flew off with a few words from Mary. One of the less stunned Drudds asked her, “Why are the angels dark? Aren’t angels white and…..”

         “Yes I know the fable, she said wearily "  we  all wear white and sit on clouds all day drinking cotton candy soda,

  but I am here to tell  you that the dark is good. Without the dark, how could you see the stars and the moon? The dark is the cave we evolved you from, and most importanly the dark is the womb you all begin your life with. 

          A quick lesson for you and I must return; the struggle is no longer about good and evil. It’s about Daarna or Dharma and a balancing of the male and female. The Ancient Mother has Awoken and you must continue to seek her and you will feel her power soon.” 

           People around the world felt a strange sensation, as the Ancient Mother closed her eyes and gave a clap of her hands and 144,ooo evil soulswere sucked into the Hell dimension, and Hell vanished into such an obscure corner of the universe she knew they would never come back. Not even a 10,000 to 1 chance (Star Trek cultural reference), and Hell became a leaderless mass of evil; lost in space. 

            Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh were never seen on earth again. Anne Coulter loved her new demon wings and Pastor B***** T***** loved the hangmans noose at his new church and set out to find some gay people. Paul Ryan loved the T shirt that said "starving people need to tighten their belts." 

S he touched the ground with the purple rose and the demons that had gathered around Lucifer scattered and disappeared. Then She glared at him,, getting as close to anger as was possible for an  all loving goddess.
