Campaign Announcement & Facebook Group

I am running for the Arkansas State House (District 92, Fayetteville). I will be running as a Write-In Independent, partly because I am tired of political parties & divisive partisanship.

I will stand independently alone as it should be.

The issue I will most focus on is:

1. Repealing Corporate Personhood for world peace, restored democracy, and the ability for our civilization to smoothly transition from an oil-based agriculture and economic system to a solar-based society without systemic collapse. Considering the implications of peak oil and the oncoming supply decline, we must not fail to treat this issue as the national emergency that it is.

I respect and love my adversary, Democratic candidate Greg Leding, but I feel that America and the world can't wait to repeal Corporate Personhood. I believe that I alone have the courage, knowledge and focused inspiration required to confront this most problematic, entrenched and powerful institution!

Because of Corporate Personhood, big business now utilizes the Bill of Rights and other Constitutional amendments in ways that are extremely detrimental and deadly to the public interest, world peace & planet earth.

Corporate Personhood is a root cause of most of our political ills, including the Middle East Wars, environmental destruction in the Gulf of Mexico, massive corporate subsidies like the Wall Street bailouts, and the most corrupt healthcare system on the planet. We can not truly fix these problems and progress until we pull this toxic weed up by the roots. Only then will we see world peace and global environmental sanity.

Prior to 1886 corporations were prohibited from spending ANY money on campaigns or lobbyists. However, after a court reporter (and former corporate executive) inserted the notion of Corporate Personhood in the headnotes of the Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Supreme Court decision, corporations have begun claiming all the rights originally intended for only Natural Persons like you and I.

One of the worst examples is corporations claiming the First Amendment right to Free Speech, which translates into them being able to donate billions of dollars in our campaigns. This has enabled these extremely wealthy institutions to buy our elections, candidates, government & laws. Another example is corporations using the 14th Amendment right to Equal Protection, which was originally intended to give freed slaves equal rights. Big business uses the 14th Amendment to harm and destroy small business that might offer competition.

Due to corporate financing of our elections, the Federal Government is captured by corporations and the best way to reclaim it for The People is to repeal Coporate Personhood. The best way to repeal Corporate Personhood is to amend the U.S. Constitution to define that only "Natural Persons" deserve political rights designed for human citizens, not "artificial corporate persons".

Please read Thom Hartman's evolutionary book on Corporate Personhood, "Unequal Protection," to fully understand the gravity of this subject.

The Federal Government is essentially owned by corporate campaign financiers, so it will be almost impossible to get U.S. Congress to make such a bold move for the public interest.

Thus, the best way to solve this dilemma is for state legislatures to begin calling for a Constitutional Convention to amend the U.S. Constitution. If 2/3 of the states call for this Convention, we can retake our Federal Government for the Greater Good and World Peace.

If even 1 or 5 states begin calling for this Convention, there is a high probability it would snowball until our Democratic Republic is restored. Why shouldn't Arkansas lead this political evolution? And why shouldn't Fayetteville more powerfully lead Arkansas?

Oil Spill Causes & Solutions

This Omnivision show is about the massive BP Gulf oil volcano that is gushing 27,000 barrels of oil/day into the ocean, deeply endangering 40% of America's wetlands and our beaches. This oil spill will also result in many lost jobs and further damage to the U.S. economy. This episode features Dr. Stephen Boss, UA professor of Geosciences and Environmental Dynamics program director, Dr. Dick Bennet, retired English professor and OMNI Center founder, Jacob Holloway, Agriculture Economist and political activist, and myself.

Middle East Policy/War/Israel/Oil

This episode of Omnivision is a discussion with two distinguished military veterans concerning America's current Middle East foreign policy. We discuss details regarding the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and the role of Israel and oil in those wars.

War Anniversary Peace Rally Speech

This is a Peace Rally speech I delivered on the 7th Anniversary of the costly Iraq War. The title of the speech is "Love is the Answer."

Peace Rally Speech: Love is the Answer

We are gathered here today to mark the 7th Anniversary of a bloody, costly and counterproductive war, and to call for comprehensive peace and an end to all wars. We must come to understand that all wars are intertwined. The causes of all of wars are the same, and the solutions for peace are all the same.

Our species is at war in far more ways than Middle East wars. Most importantly, an economic war is being waged on people and Nature. In this war, our national and international laws have all been geared to benefit only the richest few alive now. By destroying Nature or the Natural Economy, this war is a war that harms all of our children and grandchildren, rich and poor alike.

Initially, I was going to list tedious details about economic warfare and the War on Nature, but instead I will talk simply of the causes of wars. It is my belief that individual humans, like you and I, hold within ourselves the cause of war, and the solution for World Peace. I believe all people contain within them the potential for the highest good and the darkest evil. Depending on our educational environment and which side of our nature we learn to cultivate, we can each moment act as loving angels or hating demons.

One of the primary causes of 9-11 was hatred generated by our history of violent Middle East foreign policy. After 9-11, our leaders and most Americans reacted by likewise becoming filled with hatred, and we violently retaliated with wars. By responding to violent hatred with violent hatred, America became the evil we supposedly opposed.

I thought I was different by immediately opposing the Iraq War, and knew it was unwise. However, I oversimplified the causes of war and incorrectly blamed everything on Bush. By concentrating on Bush as a “villain,” I became filled with hatred myself, and became similar to the evil I opposed.

Since then, I have learned a lot, and learned to find understanding for people. I learned to have compassion even for Bush by placing myself in his shoes. If I had been born into a superrich oil family and never learned to love, there is a good chance I could have done the same things he did.

One of my favorite authors Thom Harmann wrote that to solve our problems we must learn to examine and replace toxic institutions instead of finding villains. These toxic institutions can be laws, ideas or beliefs. Instead of taking the easy way out and finding a villain, we must learn to understand how institutions permit or encourage people to act in certain ways.

In my view, there is one fundamentally important toxic institution that exists at the individual level of our entire society. I agree with Thom Harmann that this most toxic belief is the idea that “we are separate and different” from eachother, Nature and divinity.

Hartmann writes that the religious story that “we are separate from divinity or consciousness” perpetuates helplessness and spiritual slavery. However, “mystics through the ages tell us a different story-the possibility of being personally connected to divinity”.

In Eastern philosophy, they consider this powerful perception of separation Maya, the illusion of separation, and something to transcend. If we are able to transcend this illusion of separation, and realize that we are all connected, then the causes of war would dissolve. The Middle East wars, the War on Nature, the Economic wars on the poor all have the same cause, belief in separation. The belief in separation gives rise to hate, fear and greed toward the “Other”.

If America loved or felt connected to people in the Middle East, then we couldn’t be consumed with hatred and fear toward Arabs and Muslims. We would no longer want to drop bombs on their children for greedy economic reasons either.

For quite some time, I have held strong premonitions about our future. I have had suspicions that this greed and hate based society will be replaced by something more loving and peaceful very soon.
I recently had my suspicions confirmed by amazing Native American prophecies about the Rainbow Warriors. Numerous tribes from all over America delivered near identical prophecies about our future.

My favorite is the Cree Prophecy:
"An old wise woman of the Cree Indian nation, named "Eyes of Fire", prophesied that one day, because of human greed, there would come a time, when the earth being ravaged and polluted, forests destroyed, birds falling from the air, waters blackened, fish poisoned. There would come a time when keepers of Ancient Tribal Customs would be needed to restore us to health, making the earth green again. They would be mankind's key to survival, they were "Rainbow Warriors". These Rainbow Warriors would help form a New World of Justice, Peace, Freedom and recognition of the Great Spirit.

Rainbow Warriors would show the peoples that this Great Spirit, is full of love and understanding, and teach them how to make the "Earth or Elohi" beautiful again. Rainbow warriors would teach the people of the ancient practices of Unity, Love and Understanding. They would teach of Harmony among people and to love all mankind as their brothers and sisters. They would feel happiness enter their hearts, and become as one with the entire human race. Their hearts would be pure and radiate warmth, understanding and respect for all mankind, Nature and the Great Spirit.

They would once again fill their minds, hearts, souls, and deeds with the purest of thoughts.
Their children would once again be able to run free and enjoy the treasures of Nature and Mother Earth. Free from the fears of toxins and destruction, wrought by greed. The rivers would again run clear, the forests abundant and beautiful, the animals and birds replenished. The powers of the plants and animals would again be respected and conservation of all that is beautiful would become a way of life.

The poor, sick and needy would be cared for by their brothers and sisters of the Earth.
The leaders of the people would be chosen in the old way, by those whose actions spoke the loudest. Those who demonstrated love, wisdom and courage and those who showed that they could and did work for the good of all, would be chosen as leaders or Chiefs. They would be chosen by their "quality" and not the amount of money they obtained. They would understand the people with love, and see that their young were educated with love and wisdom. They would show them that miracles can be accomplished to heal this world of its ills, and restore it to health and beauty.

The tasks of these "Warriors of the Rainbow" are many and great. There will be terrifying mountains of ignorance to conquer and they shall find prejudice and hatred. They must be dedicated, unwavering in their strength, and strong of heart. They will find willing hearts and minds that will follow them on this road of returning "Mother Earth" to beauty and plenty - once more.

The day will come, it is not far away."

This vision gives me great hope and inspiration, for perhaps we are the Rainbow Warriors. We are the people that were destined to save and heal the world, making it a more loving, happy, beautiful and peaceful place.

I don’t know for sure if these Rainbow Warrior prophecies are true, but I can only hope they are and ask that you join me in this hope.

What I do know is that war is caused by hate, fear and greed, and the only way to end war and bring peace is deep love, a Love that binds us all together as One Family.

I love all you Beautiful People!

May Peace Prevail!

Confronting American Nightmares

A dozen tsunamis are rushing toward the American shoreline as the great American consumer fills its mind with Black Friday sales on Chinese plastic. As a citizen that has partially broken free from the brainwashing corporate consumerism propaganda, I have trouble sleeping at night because our collective future is so deeply endangered. Our current societal design is completely unsustainable, and drastic systematic changes will imminently be forced upon us for mere survival.

Among the crises that keep me awake at night, many of them will be easy to alleviate once reality becomes increasingly blinding in clarity.

One of the greatest nightmares for the conscious citizen is war and mass killing that the government conducts in our name. In addition to over 700 costly foreign military bases, we are engaged in multitrillion dollar wars for corporate profit and are spending over $1 trillion per year on military “security.” This fear-sustained spending exceeds that of the rest of the world combined, and the consequent retaliatory hatred and economic damage warrants renaming the Department of War to the Department of Insecurity. Ending these counterproductive policies will become easy.

Eliminating weapons of mass destruction, mines, depleted uranium, cluster bombs and other civilian-slaughtering weapons globally, and especially at home will also become straightforward.

Ending our massive $12 trillion national debt by reinstating Republican President Eisenhower’s tax rate on the superwealthy, and by slashing gratuitous military spending will also become easy.

Eliminating massive corruption and corporate profiteering from our healthcare system will also be simple when single-payer is finally realized.

Saving and improving democracy from corporate plutocratic rule will also become easy once we abolish commercial mind control and indoctrination into the Church of Mindless Consumerism.

Dealing with global warming will also be relatively simple once we begin seriously transitioning to a wise, conservation-minded, energy efficient, and solarized economy. Saving the rainforest from insatiable appetites for beef will also help.

Slowly reviving and conserving massively depleted global fishing stocks will also be accomplished, but with inferior gene pools.

Stabilizing the unsustainable global human population with a humane two child policy encouraged through education, contraception, and other incentives will be simple too.

However, the nightmare that keeps me awake all night is that of petrochemical-based agriculture. A whistleblower from the International Energy Agency recently said we have reached peak oil, and U.S. officials have been pressuring a distortion of the figures. Even with distortion, it is estimated we will reach peak oil in the next decade or two.

This means oil prices will skyrocket way past the $4 per gallon record. The cost of fossil fuel-based fertilizer and pesticides will also increase drastically, and unsustainable petrochemical agriculture will eventually die.

Considering that food is our most vital necessity after water, this is the most serious problem. How are we going to feed our massive and growing global population? There are ideas about how to do so, but compared to the other solutions, they will not be easy.

Agriculture Policy Discussion

This is a discussion about the oncoming food security crisis America and the planet will be facing as we reach peak oil, and petroleum based agriculture ends. This is arguably the gravest security risk and challenge we face because food is our most vital necessity. Please watch.
