\r\n<\/span>Tribute\r\n(and Best Wishes) to Fidel Castro:<\/span>
\r\nHow\r\nbest can We Honor Him?<\/span>
\r\n[By doing our part to\r\ndefeat the Giant Corporation-Government- corporate Mass Media Axis]
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n<\/span>I read (or misread) a false (Thank Goodness) report of\r\nFidel Castro's\r\ndeath. (Mark Twain would have said it was exaggerated.)  What\r\nfollows\r\nbelow was originally written as a Eulogy.  Happily, a few\r\nwords can be\r\nchanged and the article offered as a Tribute<\/span>\r\nto this truly astonishing hero.  
\r\n
\r\nAfter the Tribute,  we put forward  an Action\r\nPlan<\/span> intended to rescue Cuba and the rest of us from \"the New World Order<\/span>\".
\r\n<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nI. \r\nIn Tribute<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nA GIANT has nearly passed from this little planet earth.
\r\n
\r\nA\r\nmeasure of Fidel Castro's greatness is the depth of reverence and love\r\nthe People of Cuba have felt for this man, which helped immensely to\r\nkeep him safe from a series of American secret police assassins.
\r\n
\r\nA\r\nmeasure of Fidel Castro's greatness is witnessed by the virtual\r\nunanimity of support given him by the Cuban people, presenting a\r\nvirtually unified front against subversion and constant financial\r\n&\r\npolitical pressure from the overwhelmingly powerful United States.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nA\r\nmeasure of Fidel Castro's greatness can be glimpsed on any map\r\ndisplaying the United States and Cuba.  Just look at the\r\ndifference in\r\nphysical size ! Go ahead and look at a map.  Fidel Castro kept\r\nhis\r\nisland safe from this enormous, warmongering and close-lying Enemy for\r\nhalf a century !! Unimaginable,\r\nbut he DID it.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nA\r\nmeasure of Fidel Castro's greatness may be viewed in his original\r\nRevolution -- managed in a U.S. Corporation-Mafia playground bolted and\r\nguarded by a U.S. Government-coddled Batista dictatorship.
\r\n
\r\nA\r\nmeasure of Fidel Castro's greatness can be seen in the quick,\r\nrevolutionary transformations in  Cuba from downtrodden\r\nignorance,\r\npoverty and exploitation to social security, education,  and\r\none of the\r\nbest medical systems in the world (substantially better for people's\r\nhealth than that found in the United States).
\r\n
\r\nA measure of Fidel\r\nCastro's greatness is to take a downtrodden people and to instill in\r\nthem a quiet, indelible, soul-nourishing PRIDE.
\r\n
\r\nA measure of Fidel Castro's greatness was obvious in his personal bravery<\/span> and\r\nunwavering\r\nmoral purpose<\/span>.
\r\n 
\r\n[Look\r\naround you in this contemporary world.  Look at the scrawny\r\nmaterial\r\nthings that motivate  the heavy majority of middle-class\r\nbeings, due\r\nprimarily to corporate advertising and corporate influence on\r\ngovernment.
\r\n
\r\n[Look at the crude values and senseless fears which\r\nhaunt even the Rich, urging them to lead unethical, petty materialistic\r\nlives -- and only in this are they uncompromising.]
\r\n
\r\n[Note on human psychology:  Moral\r\nPurpose lends courage.<\/span> Fidel Castro has exemplified this\r\ntruth.]
\r\n
\r\nA measure of Fidel Castro's greatness lies in the inspiration he\r\nbestowed upon so many of us --- and not to forget that Che\r\nGuevara<\/span> did the same.  Oh, Cuba !  Thank\r\nyou.
\r\n
\r\n[And<\/span>\r\nViva\r\nthe unsung hero Raul<\/span> Castro<\/span> !<\/span>!<\/span>]
\r\n
\r\nA measure of Fidel Castro's greatness, and the hatred he awakened in\r\nugly financial and political Powers, may be seen in his INDEPENDENCE<\/span> and\r\nFearlessness.
\r\n
\r\n    \r\nAs a symbol of these unusual human virtues did the alien Powers not\r\nonly hate but FEAR him.  They are, after all, despite their\r\nMoney and\r\nPower, a tiny, tiny, tiny, miniscule minority.  \"<\/span>What if\", they ask each\r\nother, \"The Many become fearless, independent and morally determined\r\nlike this Castro?\"<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n<\/span>
\r\nII. \r\nHow Best Can We Honor Fidel Castro?<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nHow\r\nto overcome the Corporation-Government-corporate Mass Media axis that\r\nis creating a New World Order of international Fascism which gravely\r\nendangers  all of us.<\/span><\/span>
\r\n
\r\nAnalysis
\r\n<\/span>
\r\nFirst to quickly explain The\r\nSystem<\/span> we are yoked into. Once distinguishing the trees\r\nfrom the forest,  It is really quite simple:
\r\n
\r\nGiant\r\nCorporations<\/span>\r\nhave the money (for the most part begotten criminally).  They\r\npour it \r\ninto politicians and the entire political system, thereby purchasing\r\nthe most coveted of prizes -- domination\r\nof Government <\/span>with\r\nall of Its tremendous powers (e.g. to devise\r\ngiant-corporation-benefiting policies such as War, fascistic\r\ndestruction of democratic processes and civil liberties, secret-police\r\nScaremongering contrivances such as America's 9\/11 and Britain's\r\n7\/7, \r\nGenetic Engineering, Patents on Life-Forms and the entire abusive\r\nsystem of patent law, the marketing of dangerous drugs, \r\nprotection\r\nfrom  taxation, protection from  an exploited and\r\ndamaged  Citizenry,\r\nand, generally, protection from Justice.)
\r\n
\r\nDomination of Government facilitates the other fabulous weapon in the\r\nCorporate arsenal -- a\r\ncorporate Mass Media<\/span> which propagandizes, suppresses\r\ninformation, and distorts facts.  In other words, operates a\r\nsystem of Thought\r\nControl<\/span>. 
\r\n
\r\nThe chief dispenser of Thought Control is the genuinely vile, Orwellian\r\nmachine called  TELEVISION<\/span>.  \r\nIt is an addiction far worse than heroin, and the ignorant, ethically\r\npassive Silent Majority<\/span> \r\ngape at it daily hour-after-hour and absorb its many forms of\r\nPropaganda.
\r\n
\r\nNOTE<\/span>: \r\nThis\r\nlargely ignorant, easily manipulated, and politically passive Majority\r\nis the true basis of  Corporate Power.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nThe ignorance and warped thinking of the Vast Majority are utterly\r\nvital to the Few\r\ncontrolling the Many<\/span> (i.e. Oligarchy; when the Many are in\r\ncontrol, as in Classical Athens, the political system is called\r\n\"Democracy\")
\r\n
\r\nTherefore,<\/span> an\r\ninformed, politically active Majority would spell the end of Giant\r\nCorporation domination of Government and the Media<\/span>. \r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe\r\nmajor stockholders (they are a handful of families, primarily\r\nRockefeller and DuPont in the USA) who control these Giant Corporations\r\nare forever bent on keeping the Citizenry ignorant, misinformed, and\r\npolitically passive (except, now-and-then, to be aroused for evil\r\npurposes).
\r\n
\r\nMiscellaneous, Extremely Important Facts:
\r\n
\r\n1.  Giant Corporations form themselves into syndicates\r\n(cartels). The 3 most wealthy and powerful cartels are
\r\n(1)\r\nthe U.S.-UK Oil Cartel (essentially,  Rockefeller-held\r\nExxon-Mobil-Chevron and British BP & Shell Oil.  The\r\nRockefeller\r\nfamily has dominated this cartel for 100 years.  Wars in\r\nAfghanistan,\r\nIraq, Lebanon, the intended invasion of Iran, etc., are this Cartel's\r\ndoing.
\r\n
\r\n(2) The Chemical-Drug-Biotechnology syndicate  [principal\r\ncorporations include Monsanto, DuPont, Dow (USA)-- not quite certain\r\nbut Monsanto & Dow are very likely\r\nRockefeller-controlled;  ICI,\r\nAstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline (UK), and Bayer, Aventis (the dominant,\r\nGerman partner being the former Hoechst), BASF (Germany --- these three\r\nused to be called \"I.G. Farben\", which built and operated the slave\r\nlabour-extermination camp at Auschwitz).  The poisoning of the\r\ninternational food supply via genetic engineering, pesticides\r\nand \r\nirradiation are this Cartel's doing.
\r\n
\r\n(3) Banking cartel (including prominently CityBank and Chase Manhattan\r\n(Rockefeller), Barclays (UK), and Deutschebank (Germany).
\r\nPromoting\r\nthe policies of the other, closely integrated corporate syndicates is\r\nthis Cartel's doing (especially through its domination of the IMF,\r\nWorld Bank, WTO organisations).
\r\n
\r\nPoliticians -- People like\r\nGeorge Bush and Tony Blair, Chirac of France, and whoever heads the\r\ngovernment in Germany at the moment,  are political henchmen\r\nof the\r\nreal bosses, promoted &paid to execute corporate policy and\r\ndeal\r\nwith the natives if they get restless.  If these Politicos\r\nwere to go\r\nagainst crucial Corporate policies, they would be harried, stymied, and\r\nreplaced. (The aforementioned, however, are very willing political\r\nthugs.)
\r\n
\r\nThe Basic Question again:  How do\r\nwe overcome the Corporation-Government-corporate Mass Media axis?<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nGeneral Answer:  by devising our own\r\nAlternative Information &<\/span>
\r\nPolitical\r\nSystem.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nSpecific Answer:   by conducting Grassroots\r\nPublic Information Campaigns on major issues<\/span><\/span> <\/span>to\r\neducate and politically activate the General Public, university\/college\r\nstudents in particular<\/span>.
\r\n
\r\nStop\r\nforever talking to \"the Converted\", and instead get the Converted to\r\neducate & politically activate the so-called Silent Majority\r\n(on\r\nmajor issues). Without them, we are lost.  With them, the\r\nCorporation-Government-corporate Mass Media is lost.
\r\n
\r\nWhich do you prefer?
\r\n
\r\nNote:  This is essentially educational\r\nwork<\/span> (on important issues of your choice), to be done by\r\nall of us, in <\/span>SPARETIME<\/span> ( perhaps 3 or 4 hours\r\na week), but regularly, as part of an ethical life-style<\/span>.
\r\n
\r\nNote: Avoid like the\r\nplague established organisations, especially NGOs. <\/span>\r\nThey are not what they seem, and are generally corporate\r\nallies  who pretend to be the opposite.  Never ever join or give them\r\nmoney.  <\/span>
\r\n
\r\nDo\r\nyour educational work alone, or in small groups of people you know.<\/span>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n[Just pass on essential<\/span>\r\ninformation on a major issue that interests you
\r\nto\r\nsome other people; do it regularly as part of an ethical life-style --\r\nand request they do the same.  That's all.  Yet note\r\nthat a\r\nfew people are capable of informing an entire university or community\r\nif they try.<\/span>]
\r\n
\r\nThis Corporation-Government-corporate Mass Media Axis is creating the New World\r\nOrder<\/span>, an international Fascist order. 
\r\n
\r\n[The\r\nterm was evidently coined by, appropriately, Nelson Rockefeller, the\r\n20th century's leading political member of by far the most powerful\r\ngroup of interests in this world.  Also appropriately, the\r\nterm was\r\nlikely adapted from Adolf Hitler's New Order<\/span>.]
\r\n
\r\nWorld\r\nWar III<\/span>, it really MUST be understood, is very definitely\r\nunderway, and only one side clearly knows it.  The War pits Giant\r\nCorporations Against People and Morality<\/span>,\r\nand the Corporations are winning this War that may end all righteous\r\nuprisings,  and Freedom and Nature on planet earth to boot.
\r\n
\r\nEnlist<\/span> <\/span>on\r\nthe side of\r\nPeople and Morality<\/span>.  Educate\r\nand politically activate the General Public, university\/college\r\nstudents in particular, on major issues.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nWe can still win this\r\nwar.  But we've got to get going by getting to that Silent\r\nMajority.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\n","contact":"artemesium@gmail.com","link":"www.MyronStagman.com","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/html","summary":"Part I, "In Tribute to Fidel Castro", lists some of his extraordinary, truly astonishing achievements.
