The business school offers a major in management. In 1975, I took the introductory course and found it to be similar to the educational psychology course that I took when I was preparing to be a high school teacher. The professor defined a closed system as being an entity with no influence on the outside environment and is not influenced by the outside environment.
The war abolition and progressive groups are closed systems. They make no lobbying effort that I can detect. They treat all incoming communication as junk mail. Contacting them by phone is virtually impossible.
When Pope Leo made the statement that he wanted war to end, I thought that there would feverish activity, writing sample encyclicals or statements, lobbying the Congress and holding press conferences. After all, this was an establishment figure known to just about everyone on our planet, not your neighborhood hippy or your local left-wing college professor.
They have done nothing. It is like they are Rip Van Winkle with a ‘’Do Not Disturb’’ sign on his door.
I have forwarded a draft war abolition encyclical to many organizations urging them to take my statement, write their own and send it on to Pope Leo, the Congress and the media. I have seen no response or any indication that they have done anything.
Albert Camus said the life is absurd. Looking at the 13,000 nuclear weapons, poverty, global warming, the Ukraine, Gaza and everything else, I have to say that he knows what he is talking about. I ask you to join me in making life unabsurd.
The greatest wealth divide in human history is now. In the US, three men have as much wealth as 160 million. How many times have you heard about this on the talk shows or political rallies? Zero is my answer.
Tell people what you and they will join you at the barricades. The Heritage Foundation prepared a nearly 900 page Project 2025 for President Trump. The fascists know what they want and have goals. My war abolition encyclical has 40 pages. There is plenty to start with.
There are few times in life when you come face to face with Absolute Evil and overcome it. The Big Three transformed their societies to achieve military victory over the Axis Powers. Now it is our turn to step up to the plate to abolish war, reverse global warming and abolish poverty. Start a world-wide Green New Deal.
Winston Churchill stated that the Battle of Britain was GB’s finest hour. The current struggle is our finest hour. Should we fail, there will be no life on our precious planet in 2100. May our efforts reverse global warming, bring prosperity for everybody which will bring physical and mental security. There is no Planet B. The rich, the poor and middle will sink or swim together. We can get to there from here. We must get to there from here.
You are the leader that you have been waiting for. Take my draft war abolition encyclical, do your own editing and start passing it around to your two senators and congressman for starters. Then pass your edited statement to friends, relatives, the newspapers and everybody else. Pass it on to Pope Leo, Al Gore, AOC, Bernie Sanders and Greta Thunberg.
See you at the barricades,
