Imagine Peace ,
  For Lennon's birthday Oct 9, this seeks to rebirth
the peace movement he helped to thrust into the public conscience.

While the mainstream media played John Lennon as a once
 great entertainer turned hippie wacko,
 the real John Lennon became enlightened to the truth.

He began speaking truth to power and aligned himself
 with the leading voices of reform and radical change
 to the corruption of day.

 He realized his iconic star-power could be
the greatest venue to create social change
without complete anarchy... and so did the Nixon administration
(including the young Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfelt)

 Only they didn't want a change.
 Just like today only they've become much more insidious.


We need more Lennon-like leaders
from the entertainment business.

 Speak truth to power...
its not all about the brass ring and the benjamin's.
 If everyone stands up they can't character
 assassinate us all! Thank you John and Yoko!



Imagine all the people, living life in peace.
John Winston Ono Lennon
October 9, 1940-December 8, 1980


On October 9th, on what would have been John Lennon’s
 67th birthday, his widow, Yoko Ono is dedicating
a peace tower in Reykjavik, Iceland
in the memory of her husband.


There will also be almost a half a million peace wishes
 buried in capsules around the tower which is a blue tower
 of light extending up to the sky above us.


 Close your eyes for a few minutes  and  imagine peace....
 What would a world at peace look like?
What would a world at peace be like to live in?


John Lennon called his song Imagine an “anti-religious,
 anti-nationalism, anti-conventional, anti-capitalist”
sort of a “Communist manifesto.”


It is a Utopian vision of a perfect society that
 unfortunately can not be achieved by imagining,
and probably could never happen, at least not all of it.

But how close can we get to this world ?
 How much sacrifice will a world at peace
take from each and everyone of us?


Imagine a world with no religion.
 A world where sick and evil people could not manipulate
 the masses into believing that the set of myths and
beliefs that they profess are more important or powerful
 than the other’s set of myths or beliefs.


Imagine no countries.
The worship of banners made of mere cloth, along with
 the arrogant nationalism that gives leaders
the right to kill other human beings just because
they do not happen to live within the same borders
 that were drawn many years ago by empires
 that have long ago fallen.

Is it right to kill other people if they are not
the same religion as the religion of your state ?
 (Don’t kid yourself the US does a state sanctioned religion).

 Imagine no armies that really kill and get killed
 for the imperialistic reasons, Imagine that.




Imagine no possessions.
 This is the real problem.......
To live the American dream we all go out
 and buy stacks of stuff! Never considering
 the true implications and impact it all causes.
 The human sacrifices pain and suffering it all causes
 around the world just to get junk that falls apart
after a few uses, How totally irresponsible is that?

 Reduce, reuse, recycle.



It is so hard to imagine or envision peace, when we should
 all be terrified of Bush and Company Inc contemplating
even more slaughter in the Middle East in Iran, and when
 Congress is busy supporting a murderous status quo that
hurts humans within all borders, even our own.


On the day that George vetoed the health of over
six-million children here in America, 16,000 children
 around the world died of starvation.

In a week that we saw murder on a horrendous scale in
 Burma, hundreds, if not thousands of Burmese monks and
 other humans being slaughtered for protesting against
 their oppressive government.


  Iraqis are being killed or forced from their homes by
 violence: to wander in the desert, or probably off to
Syria where their daughters may be forced into prostitution
 to help support the family which should be able to live
 in peace and relative prosperity in their own country.



 Imagine that.


Peace will only happen when every member of humanity is
 guaranteed prosperity, health and security which will not
 happen when we here in the US can’t even get off our
 asses to protest a war that is four and a half years and
 hundreds of thousands of bodies old, now.

We can imagine peace all we want....
 but until each and everyone of us is willing
 to sacrifice some of our prosperity

(Because we have already had our
security and liberty's robbed from us)

Until then, true peace, not just the absence of war, will be
 as elusive as truth coming out of Washington, DC.


The world is going to hell in George’s hand basket.
 What are we doing staying the course,
 conducting business as usual in America ?

With genocides in Darfur and Iraq, the mindless
 destruction of the environment, education along
 with many other things, is this really the best use
 of all that money of our children and our children's
 children that we have already spent?

So you say you want a revolution ? Imagine that.


A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
A dream you dream together is reality.
Yoko Ono Lennon

Voluntary sacrifice is truly a revolutionary concept here
 in the United States of America.


( Just putting that out there )
Go ahead an hate you neighbor.
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it it the name of heaven !!!
You can justify it in the end....
On the bloody morning after.....
