I have received numerous responses relating to the article "Train." A variety of issues were raised; however, all essentially relate to the fundamental issues of division, fear, violence, unity, peace, and harmony (as is always the case in the affairs nations.) In the affairs of men, there is nothing new under the sun (how could there be?) We are either one harmonious human family or divided opposing groups.

Nobody needs to be convinced that Unity, Peace and Harmony must prevail in order for the human race to survive in a tolerable world. In contrast, millions need to be spent (as has recently been demonstrated in the US elections) to persuade, cajole and contrive (lie) to counter common sense and the obvious.

The farce of presenting a distinctive ‘choice’ in the US elections was easily detected by the outside world. Both parties adhered to the principle of War – only the approach was argued. In a real democracy, the choices would have been distinct, peace or war, equality or disparity, confrontation or cooperation etc; it could all be reduced to unity or division. The public had no real choice, just slightly different shades of the same ‘colour.’ Yet they were swept along by a (media-induced) mass hysteria and believed that major differences were offered them in the candidates – ridiculous! There is no democracy in the USA. It was an American who once stated, in so many words, "do not waste your time with little lies, tell the largest most absurd, fantastic and incredible that can be articulated." Freedom and democracy are the literal war cries (lies) of the USA, yet it is plain to see there is no equality, equity, democracy and freedom whatsoever!

The economy of that nation is a war economy; how can it argue the case for peace and be truly sincere in attempts to implement harmonious solutions? The whole economic structure and the associated infrastructures would need ‘radical surgery.’ Better to talk freedom and peace but constantly wage war – that is the contradiction that is America.

The world is not duped as easily as the local population. From an international perspective, the world views a rogue nation bent on conquest and plunder, ‘to hell with trade, just steal what you need and then have a nice helping of mom’s apple pie’ [but careful you don’t choke on it!]

It is a simple matter to expose the double standards and hypocrisy of the USA. All the media consultants and strategists in the world cannot hide it. Deception on a national scale has been tried before. Ignoring the lessons of history is foolish to the extreme.

By way of constructive discourse, I would shift the focus onto the crucial issue, and that is you! You are the world, make your choice. You already know what must be done. That is the beauty of Truth; it is self-evident and needs no persuasive discourse. None of us is ever at a loss to know the course we must take. Do not be beguiled by the ravings of madmen and avaricious parasites. The fact remains:

We are ONE.
