THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY and two related poems, by James L.S.Carter

                                                                                 

                                                                                   

                                                       THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY

                                                               by James L.S. Carter



                                                                                   

                                             Dedicated to Lieutenant Grant Carter (1960-1981)


                                             The amphibious motor vessel the "Ardennes"

                                             Sailed from Faslane on an occasional grim

                                             Yet grand: a year after the death of him

                                             Whose bier was borne by his own troop of men,

                                             To drop his ashes in the Gareloch sea
 
                                             At that same place where he was wont to sail,
,
                                             After capsizing, righting without fail

                                             As skilful in the craft as he could be,

                                             Fateful canoe that stopped in waves that sped

                                             As fast as flowers we threw upon the tide,

                                             Gliding away along the vessel's side,

                                             Into the mirrored blue horizon fled!

                                             As Signalmen held the chute, with Padre's prayer,

                                             As waters lapped, I felt he was there.





                                                                       

                                                                     


                                 LINES WRITTEN FOR MY BROTHER'S FUNERAL

                                                            by James L.S. Carter





                                                                             

                                     

                                       He gave great love from his birth to his death

                                       And he received great love.

                                       He was full of love all his life

                                       And he was full of life

                                       He was a bright and rising star

                                       And like a bright and falling star

                                       Vanished from us like a rainbow in July

                                       May God who loves him love him for ever





                                                        ARCAS WILL NEVER DIE


                                                              by James L.S. Carter




                                                                     

                                  They say that Arcas died in a canoe

                                  Caught in a stopper in a German weir,

                                  That there was nothing anyone could do

                                  To save young Arcas from a heavenly bier.

                                  They say that young Prince Arcas is no more,

                                  Never will call to send his love again,

                                  That he has parted for some distant shore

                                  Where spates will never flood a river's glen

                                  But we prefer to think of him at Rhu,

                                  Capsizing many times his skilful boat.

                                  Successful in his parents' worried view,

                                  As if it were a game to stay afloat.

                                  Then in the life of living memory

                                  He stays alive: Arcas will never die,



                                                                   

        

Christian Anarchism: A Forgotten Alternative for the Peaceful Ordering of Society

                                                   

                                                                                     

                                                    CHRISTIAN ANARCHISM

                                              by Alexandre Christoyannopoulos

                                                                   Website

                                                    At Loughborough University

                                                   
                                                                                 

Christianity in its true sense puts an end to the State. It was so understood from its very beginning, and for that Christ was crucified.

— Leo Tolstoy

Where there is no love, put love and you will find love.

                                                                                                                     — St. John of the Cross 



                           Christian anarchists question the widespread belief that a socially contracted state provides the only guarantee of human freedom and security. For them, the state is a vicious system that perpetrates the very violence that its mandate pretends to keep at bay. They are therefore not surprised by the current climate of insecurity — but they believe the solution requires another look at Christianity and its political implications.

They think Christianity presents a radical alternative to secular methods, because it begins by positing an alternative view of human nature, one that calls for love and discipleship to recover mankind's initial but disrupted unity. They believe that the only way to achieve a peaceful social order is through Christian martyrdom and persuasion by example, not through the imposition of manmade laws by the threat of force. They see the authentic mission of Christianity as the enactment of the true ekklesia: there would be no state as we know it, and yet social order would be fulfilled through faith, charity and love of neighbour. For Christian anarchists, therefore, Christianity in this genuine sense has never actually been tried yet. To attain this social ideal, instead of relying on a state to protect them, human beings must acknowledge their personal responsibilities and learn to turn the other cheek, to love and patiently forgive, and to keep faith in the contagious power of such bearing witness to Jesus Christ.

It may be that Christian anarchists have too utopian a faith in the human capacity for pacifism and non-violence; and of course, their view is essentially religious, not secular. But their religious approach is refreshing precisely because it is peaceful, unlike certain antagonistic readings of Abrahamic Scriptures. Besides, their thinking poses fundamental questions about human nature that today's world would do well to ponder in its anxious search for a political solution to the current threats to freedom and security.

                    

IS THE EDINBURGH 'DUNGEON' WORTH A VISIT??

                                                                             

                                                                     

                                                      THE EDINBURGH 'DUNGEON'

     (Not actually a dungeon, of course. Hangs somewhere near the roof of Waverley Railway Station)



                                                                       

A visit to Edinburgh Dungeon takes you back to the darkest moments in Scotland’s history. From the gruesome tale of Burke & Hare, to Edinburgh’s Great Fire, torture and the plague - it's all true. Live actors, shows, a spooky ride and interactive special effects ensure a day out based on pain, fear, torture and death. Are you brave enough?

And is at worth £12 or more for the experience?

Take a boat ride through space!

I'm still wondering about it, 21 years later

THE FULL HORROR OF THE CIA MIND CONTROL PROGRAM (Documented)

                                                                             

Recently declassified CIA documents reveal the horrific depths to which a U.S. government-sponsored mind control program (MK Ultra) sank to in the 1950’s and 60’s. 

Project MKUltra was designed to create assassins and “super spies” out of ordinary U.S. citizens – who underwent traumatic experimentation by the CIA without consent or knowledge of what was taking place.

                                 THE FULL HORROR OF THE CIA MIND CONTROL PROGRAM

[Deleted] being in a complete SI state at this time, was then told to open her eyes and was shown an electric timing device. She was informed that this timing device was an incendiary bomb and was then instructed how to attach and set the device.

“After [deleted] had indicated that she had learned how to set and attach the device, she was told to return to a sleep state and further instructed that upon concluding the aforementioned conversation, she would take the timing device which was in a briefcase and proceed to the ladies room.

“In the ladies room, she would be met by a girl whom she had never seen who would identify herself by the code word ‘New York.’

“[Deleted] was then to show this individual how to attach and set the timing device and further instructions would be given the individual by [deleted] that the timing device was to be carried in the briefcase to [deleted] room, placed in the nearest empty electric-light plug and concealed in the bottom, left-hand drawer of [deleted] desk, with the device set for 82 seconds and turned on.” 

                                                              

I am pro-Jew and anti-Zionist, so help me God

                                                                               

It's possible to be pro-Jew and anti-Zionist, I hate the murderous Israeli Government for what they do to Palestinian children, and that's by no means anti-Semitic. Bravo, Labour leadership!

The Jewish lobby in the USA is strongly influenced by its many Christian fundamentalist members who refer to various crazy passages in the Book of Revelations to keep justifying the status quo

   

  I suspect that the fundamentalists are primarily interested in delaying Armageddon, and that their agenda might not even be pro-Jewish! There are of course substantial differences between their warped religious agenda and the more reasonable aspects of Judaism.

                                                               

What is Zionism?
