Note that the stylistic writing and graphic above is prepared in fundamentalist speak.
For liberals and moderate Christians, this is an alien language in which the relevant meanings are lost.
But the liberal must learn to enter into the consciousness behind this fundamentalist style.  Why?
Because as the Mystical Paradigm explains, the fundamentalist intellect cannot enter into the
Consciousness behind the liberal intellect.  Therefore the liberals must be able to
penetrate the consciousness that motivates the fundamentalist and right wing members of the electorate.
Unless and until they do, liberals will continue to lose elections.

If this claim in the above box, written in the fundamentalist jargon, seems over the top, outrageous, unfair, or simply wrong for you right now, please do bear with me.   The evidence from a review of 2004 election exit polls suggest that, apart from the supporting community of corporate power and wealth, the fundamentalists, evangelicals, and conservative Catholics were manipulated to help assure the election outcome for George W. Bush. [evidence]  The liberals and Democrats were dismayed and confused.

The tragedy here is that persons of strong religious faith and commitment, such as the evangelicals and fundamentalists, often hold to the most desirable values in matters of personal and social responsibility, kindness, and support for positive actions.  They are often in the front lines of those who do the helpful work of the world.  Therefore, it is most unfortunate that, in their own jargon, they have been seduced by Satan to support and promote the evils that originate from  the right wing's Satanic mission.

In their Spiritual slumber and blinded by their misguided religious zeal, members of the religious right are oblivious to the long term disastrous consequences of their actions in electing George W. Bush even as the indicators of developing disaster are unavoidably  evident by the midterm election of 2006.   In ignorance of what they have done and continue to do, they have permitted themselves to become key agents who support the Republican contrived evil I will note below.  The evil (a favorite fundamentalist term) they have served and continue to serve is the out of control corporate power structure served by the Bush administration and Republican party.  

Alas, although to a lessor extent, the Democrats too, have also been overwhelmed by and caved in to the relentless growing force of corporate control.  No Democratic candidate in the 2004 election directly and completely addressed this root problem that is a growing rot at the core of our former democracy, now a corporocracy [kor poor 'ok ra see].  Nor was it directly addressed in the midterm election of 2006.

Only Ralph Nadir had it completely  right.  [See: Behold The Elephant in the Room which is a simple metaphor for the surprisingly subtle nature of this evil.  Then follow the link to see the disturbing graphic that makes the elephant visible.]  Liberal elements can use the Principles of the MP to inquire whether or not one or a number of corporate moles have reached key decision making levels within the Democratic machine.

This essay will offer guidance how to understand and cope with the Fundamentalist and  Evangelical Christians whose "values" were used by the extreme right to carry the 2004 election for George Bush, and the right wing corporate power structure he serves. The substantial Democratic victories in 2006 provided only a necessary remedy for the Republican excesses of the past six years, but not a sufficient remedy.   The deeper metaphysical reasons for the progressive populist resurgence need to be understood in order to cope effectively with the full court press that is certainly to come from the corporate right wing in 2007 and 2008.  

This essay is grounded in  the Principles of the Mystical Paradigm (MP) of which this is now a part.  As shown elsewhere in the MP, when the populist, progressive, and liberal values as taught in the New testament,  the entire right wing agenda can bee seen as a repudiation of the teachings and value system of Jesus that he lived and died for, making George Bush (in fundamentalist jargon) the "anti-Christ." Jesus was by every one of his works and demonstrations, a populist, progressive liberal.

[See some  evidence]

Contrary to the demonstrated values and teaching of Jesus, fundamentalist and evangelical Christian support for these right wing political extremists is funded by right wing billionaire ideologues who are without a viable moral compass:

"These people have no fear of being exposed as hypocrites, and that fearlessness is their best asset.

Even if liberals didn't have the moral backbone that keeps them from committing the same crimes as conservatives, we would still lack the most important element to forming a vast left wing conspiracy: money. All of the organizations and publications and think tanks are funded by the same few extremely rich men. Richard Mellon Scaife, a reclusive Pittsburgh millionaire, sits at the center of this financial web, funding virtually every group dedicated to advancing the far-right agenda. (It's ironic that an ideology that claims to defend the wealth of people who have earned it has as its chief defender a man who inherited his millions.)

The left has no Richard Mellon Scaife and never will. Simply put, no leftist would ever be so bereft of decency as to fund the attacks on democracy that Scaife does. As New York Times columnist Paul Krugman noted in his column on Blinded by the Right:

It's also true that in the nature of things, billionaires are more likely to be right-wing than left-wing fanatics. When billionaires do support more or less liberal causes, they usually try to help the world, not take over the U.S. political system. Not to put too fine a point on it: While George Soros was spending lavishly to promote democracy abroad, Mr. Scaife was spending lavishly to undermine it at home.
And that's the crux of the problem. The left is done in by its own decency, unable to match the hypocrisy and mean-spiritedness of those on the right. While there's no shortage of stupid or small-minded people on the left — as there is in any large group of people — conservatives have liberals beat when it comes to crossing lines that ought not to be crossed."  [Berney, Jessie,  05-31-2002, Done in by Decency,  [primary source taken down; alternate source]
So in the light of this exposure, regarding the blind support for such values as voted by the religious right, what would Jesus say?  what would He do?  One the most potent Mystics of the 20th Century, Manly P. Hall, has written on the intrinsic threat posed by sectarian religions such as those serving the religious right which are more dedicated to secular or other power rather than nourish their members relationship with God (or a higher power):
"The adversary [to Mystical, liberal and loving religions, e.g. Gnostic Christianity,] personified either older cults which opposed the establishment of the benevolent Mysteries or later cults responsible for the destruction of these institutions.  In either case, an inferior state of spiritual enlightenment was implied.  The Mysteries were institutions of liberation and were naturally opposed by groups seeking to keep their people in bondage through ignorance .  The struggle was therefore between religion as temporal authority and the Mystery faith--the internal 'road of light'  The ruins of the past explain why it was the common belief that the men of good spirit, the initiates, were sacrificed to the material ambitions of temporal rulers [including the sectarian churches.]  [Manly P Hall, 1979, p 32; brackets and emphasis added]

SEE NOTE FOR ADDITIONAL DETAIL ON THIS ASSERTION.


The good news in all of this is the expectation that once the religious right can be convinced of the extent to which they have been seduced by the political right to betray the real teachings of their Jesus, their anger will then be directed against the deceivers.  They will quickly recognize and repudiate the propaganda spewing from the Republican lie machines once they recognize that their Jesus was in fact a potent liberal as noted above.  Then they will become faithful friends, advocates, and zealous supporters of liberal causes.

1. HOW THIS ESSAY  IS ORGANIZED
The pundits now claim that the Democrats lost the 2004 election because of a "values" gap.  I will defend the opinion that the Democrats have more substantial and more "Christian" values than the political right, but don't have a clue how to articulate them to the majority public, let alone cope with the right wing fundamentalist zealots.  Appeals from the DNC (Democratic National Committee) and other Democratic sources in the summer of 2005 are communicating the same pap that cost them the last two elections and will cost them the next two.  One has to wonder how many right wing moles have inserted themselves near the top of the Democratic hierarchy to cause the continuation of their failed strategies.  Democrats are further handicapped by lacking a genuine reluctance for bearing false witness and gutter fighting (gross Spiritual flaws) that the political right uses with zeal.  Thus this liberal reluctance is not a weakness but a moral strength made manifest as an extension of liberal values.  This moral strength has been ignored or has not been supported by the religious right in part because of their fixation on so called "wedge" issues.   This paper will shed some light on why this is so in the the following topical areas:

A.     name the demon child according to its nature.

B.     define the nature and indicators of the root problem (the face and fingerprints of Satan)

C.    briefly describe and label the mental, emotional and Spiritual conditions affecting fundamentalism and its relatively low Spiritual (not religious) Consciousness.

Once these Principles are entered into your own intellectual consciousness, these "Satanic" conditions can be recognized in individuals, groups, organizations, and national societies.  The relevant metaphor can then be challenged.  This absence of adequate Spiritual Consciousness, and therefore compromised intellectual consciousness, has blinded and trapped the DNC (Democratic National Committee,) as well as the highly educated liberal pundits, and the majority electorate.  Emergent strategies in the spring of 2005 suggest that the still don't "get it." Thus the liberals have lost the election to right wing extremists and are likely to repeat their errors in 2006 in there is dramatic evidence of Republican corrpuption and incempetence between now and then (which in fact happened.) 

To understand the causes of these developments requires a new paradigm. Those who are ignorant of this paradigm include those right wing mand neocon ideologues themselves who have freely exploited both the fundamentalist's and the public's ignorance of what I am about to introduce to you now.  These Principles must be understood and applied for liberals to prevail in the next two election cycles beginning in 2006.  I will meet this objective in two parts.  I will define:

(1) the nature of Spiritual (not religious) Consciousness compared to
(2) the destructive nature of the ego and its slave the intellect, with its limits set and trapped by rational logic
(3) how he nature of C/Consciousness defines the impact of metaphor in shaping values. [below]
By use of examples I will demonstrate why:
(1) Jesus was a liberal in accordance with all of his teachings and example [follow the above link that already defends this claim], and
(2) the wedge issues of antiabortion, anti stem-cell research, and anti gay rights cannot be supported by True Christian Principle.
(3) the Real threat from Islamic terror (which is inherently fundamentalist in principle) has not been challenged to require that  Islam universally repudiate certain passages in their Koran.  Those damning passages mandate alienation from and the destruction of all non-believers.  There is evidence that The Holy Koran itself provides the root justifications for Militant Islam. [See the evidence in certain passages]
D.  predict the conditions that define the disastrous downward course of this society that was amplified by the 2004 reelection of George W. Bush and to create the Republican majority in the Congress. What happened inthe following two years makes my case for those who follow only the headlines.  These conditions, now in need of remedy, can be recognized already by application of the Spiritual Principles offered below.
        In presenting my arguments, I will cite:
(1) numerous references in support of my claims, and
(2) elements of my e-book Outrageous Truth: A Mystical Paradigm, (OT/MP) of which this position paper is now a part,  and which fully develops these problems and their solutions in detail along with other relevant topics.
(3) Show why and how the Mystical Paradigm (MP) is a set of Spiritually (not religiously) grounded Principles that can empower the user to see behind and through the masks of deceit and manipulation.  These are techniques  typically employed by the right wing and those of evil intent.  Evil is defined with reference to those actions and events devoted to preserving and expanding the agents malignant power and control, regardless of the needs and rights of others who are made victim to their goals.

2.  THE NAME OF THE DEMON CHILD, AS DEFINED BY ITS NATURE, IS FASCISM

What right wing goals and consequences of the demon child are intended to be countered by the set of recommendations that follow (Part 6 of this Essay.)  Dr. Lawrence Britt, a political scientist, has identified 14 characteristics common to fascist regimes. He analyzed and compared the fascist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet.  Their commonalties yielded the following list of 14 identifying characteristics that can be found as aspects of fascism. You will recognize that these 14 symptoms are already present in American Society today, the evidence of which are offered below, and which are being nourished by the political and religious right.

SEE WHAT 2004 VOTERS  HAVE "PROVIDED A MANDATE" FOR,
IF THEY VOTED FOR GEORGE  W.  BUSH.

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Identification of Enemy Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
Supremacy of the Military
Rampant Sexism
Controlled Mass Media
Obsession with National Security
Religion and Government are Intertwined
Corporate Power is Protected
Labor Power is Suppressed
Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fraudulent Elections
By going to the original source from which I obtained this list, The Project for the Old American Century has provided a number of explicit examples and references in support of each of Britt's assertions. I urge you to take some time and examine this source now.   [Source]   That evidence ought surely motivate you to pursue what follows in this position paper.

The three part Introductory Dialogue to the MP [begins here] presents a detailed outline of the evidence that has contributed to the empowerment of these conditions, mostly over the last decade.  It will be rewritten over the next six months to include developments since the election of 2004.  The evidence that these characteristics are already flourishing is everywhere evident, but only for those with eyes that see and ears that hear!

Here is a major premise behind the MP,
and a cause of the Democratic party's ineptness and confusion:

WHAT IS NOT IN YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS CANNOT BE PROCESSED BY YOUR INTELLECT,
NO MATTER HOW BRILLIANT YOUR INTELLECT.
[Review: Behold the Elephant in the Room]

The MP is a new paradigm in the world!

Regarding the last symptom of fascism, election fraud, which is already a fact of American history per the 2000 election, I note a quote by Lord Acton who is already well known for his earlier quote: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."  About 20 years later he also gave us the following quote which appears at several points on my site:

"The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority,
or rather, of that party, not always the majority,
that succeeds by force or fraud, in carrying elections."
Lord Acton (1907)


3. THE NATURE OF THE ROOT PROBLEM:
The root problems for the American electorate in general, and fundamentalists in particular, lie in an impoverished Spiritual Consciousness.  An impoverished Spiritual Consciousness  is evident from their inability to process complex politically significant information affecting the common good when it is outside the values and focus of their narrow frame of ego owned intellectual consciousness.

Spiritual Consciousness

Spiritual (Spirituality): a quality of Consciousness, defined in the Mystical Paradigm as a person's potential, desire, and capacity for forming a Conscious Union with GOD.   [ref Goldsmith, 1962aSpiritually developed persons serve (by their deeds, not just their words) a Power higher than themselves that actively influences their life.  They embrace the qualities of compassion, patience, kindness, generosity and a bias in favor of serving the common good.  They value and take actions which empower them to deny their ego needs in preference to serving the common good and thus draw closer to and become more intimate with this Greater Power. [see also Fillmore, The Revealing Word]

This defect is NOT a problem of intelligence.  It is a problem of inadequate Consciousness.  

This inadequacy is anchored in a metaphorical model unique to the fundamentalists and the extreme right wing,  This frame of reference is not in the best interests of the electorate.   Fundamentalists and all kinds of right wing ideologues are encumbered by the limitations of a cndition called concrete HIP. [definition].  Fundamentalists simply cannot tolerate, and therefore cannot process a complex Holistic concept, especially when the part they are in contact with appears to contradict their concrete belief system.  The capacity to process a complex Holistic model or metaphor is required for survival in 21st Century social and political complexity.   The capacity to adequately process abstract Holistic concepts requires abstract HIP.

Unresolvable complexity is experienced as uncertainty.  For the fundamentalist intellect, uncertainty in any form generates stress which is unrecognized as FEAR.  This background of fear creates a pattern of metaphor that emphasizes an obsessive urgency for acquiring and maintaining power and control.  This power paradigm of reality is essentially autocratic with all of its evils attached.
 

Religious fervor is NOT Spiritual Consciousness.

The nation needs a massive inoculation of enhanced Spiritual Consciousness.
Spiritual Consciousness empowers one's ability to process a complex, Holistic
model of Reality that is anchored in the common good.

The more fundamentalist the intellect,
the less Spiritual and thus, the less the are  intellectually consciousness
of all applicable factors, and therefore, 

the less information processing (HIP) competence, and therefore, 
the greater their innate FEAR in the presence of confusion, stress, or uncertainty.
An example is generated by their hasving to confront
 acompassionate and loving 
Holistic (liberal) model for the common good.

This a problem of Consciousness, not intelligence.
Again, what is not first held in Consciousness
cannot be processed by the intellect, no mater how great.

Right wing extremists (e.g., Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich) can have brilliant intellects, but be empty of Spiritual Consciousness,.   The examples include those greed mongers,  the executives culpable for the collapse of Enron, Inc., also,  Andrew Card, and other right wing political lackeys, Islamic extremists such as Osama bin Laden, Moqtada al-Sadr, and etc.   This pattern is also found in the extreme, in clinically identified sociopaths and psychopaths.  It is also found to a lessor extent in many of the otherwise brilliant right wing media and political wonks and pundits.  It is widespread in the right wing elements of Congress and in administrative levels of governance.

Visit a summary description of the results after the political right have duped the religious
right members of the electorate so as to transfer our national treasures
from the electorate into corporate pockets.

How can this deception succeed so well?  The fundamentalists, including the evangelicals and other right wing elements of society, play the games of life using a system of metaphor that is created by less than half a deck of "Reality" cards. The same principle and phenomenon also apply to the fundamentalist mentalities expressing as Islamic extremists.  They all fear being afflicted by the presence of other more potent cards (without recognizing that a metaphor is involved) that might be held by others (based on the behaviors of others that they observe, but can't understand, and thus resent and fear.)

Their fear then leads them to more passionately embrace their own impoverished  reality (metaphor) as the only possible and acceptable reality for them. In fact, for reasons demonstrated in the MP [Dialogue 1 on Consciousness], no other reality is possible for them.  Then, in order to feel safe, by means of manipulation, deception, subterfuge, and eventually force, the fundamentalist intellect and associated value system must then try to "win" by only playing the games of life with their limited fundamentalist deck of cards.


This disparity creates an expanded capacity for hypocrisy. As only one example, the moral values stance of the Republican core is repudiated by the fact that big donor Republicans cash in big by earning their money from the sale of smut, and other low moral entertainment, and that there is no difference in the red states compared with blue states in the volume of smut, porn and low grade products bought. [source]

The liberal C/consciousness has demonstrated that it is equally bankrupt in being able to detect and cope with the alternative conservative (right wing) metaphor. [deftly described by Lakoff, 1995]  Thus they helplessly lose elections to the great detriment of American well being and the common good.

This incapacity of both the political and religious right to play the games of life with a full deck of cards denies any right wing mentality access to the very solutions that their innate fears require. 

Then they withdraw into a closed systems of like minds, and serve each other "group think" as approved by the authorities to which they have surrendered their minds, whether religious or secular.  President Bush has already demonstrated his dependence on this practice by the way he selected his new Cabinet. He used criteria that assure its members must first be willing and able to immerse themselves in group-think as established and defined by the Bushite in-group, they must demonstrate that they are fawning sycophants.  The concrete HIP (Human Information Processing) incompetence of Bush and his supporting right wing ideologues is described in detail in Dialogue 4 [HIP, the Third Trap of Intellectual Consciousness]   This incompetence is displayed by his persistence in his "Stay the Course," strategy in the face of a stream of disasterous evidence that show it is not working.  


Acceptable goals and concepts for the Bush administration are limited to those defined by the right wing corporate owned inner-santum for whom Bush is the activist figurehead. The nature and scale of threat created by this fundamentalist defect in Spirituality, and its impact on our Real national security and quality of life may be understood by means of the following observations and principles:
LOW SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS:  the nature of the fundamentalists consciousness is found at the low end of a person's (system's) capacity for Spiritual Consciousness.  [re left figure] Then it is evident in the works of compromised intellectual consciousness that follow from it,  "by their deeds [works, fruits] you shall know them."

RELIGION VS SPIRITUALITY: the critical difference between religion or religiosity and Spirituality must be in the C/consciousness of any analyst for them to be fully successful.  [Important: please visit each of the definitions and digressions when offered, because your understanding of what follows depends on them.]
[See the MP's definition of religion.  THIS DEFINITION IS IMPORTANT TO THE CONCEPTS THAT SUPPORT THIS ESSAY]
[See the MP's definition of Spirituality. THIS DEFINITION IS IMPORTANT TO THE CONCEPTS THAT SUPPORT THIS ESSAY]

Note in the above definition of religion the simple test you can apply to assess the Spiritual health of any religion based on the actions of its adherents [as in James 2:26, "...by their deeds you shall know them."]  Fundamentalist religions are Spiritually unhealthy because they enslave their ego strength to an ego owned intellectual "group-think," rather than to advance on practices that are informed by Spiritually grounded group Wisdom.  Group Wisdom  is only accessible through the combined innate Spiritual Consciousness of a group or coalition.  But the latter requires the capacity for trust based on an awakened Spiritual Consciousness, not the innate Spiritual Consciousness that every person has whether developed or not. [ref above figure] In the absence of Wisdom guidance, they tend to develop destructive religionist [definition]practices.

RELIGIONIST INFECTION: the low end of Spiritual Consciousness gives rise to a specific practitioner of religion (regardless of sect) called in the MP, the religionists. These are found concentrated among the memberships of fundamentalists and evangelicals. [Also characteristic of Islamic extremists.]  Already, in the summer of 2005, there is a systematic pattern of actions by the Bush administration to replace the traditional government public service programs with "faith based" programs.  The facts in support of this claim are found at the following reference, click here.

JESUS WAS A LIBERAL: ignorance of the facts that reveal how and why Jesus, by virtue of his teachings, parables and allegories, demonstrations, and His entire way of life, was a liberal by current definitions. Jesus was neither a fundamentalist nor a conservative. [IMPORTANT: Be sure to visit the brief digression offered above that presents the evidence why Jesus was a liberal by today's definitions.  This is key to understanding the "values" dimension of this essay.]

RAMPANT GROUP THINK: the collection of low consciousness intellects aggregate into self serving like minds who can only tolerate intellectually limited and ego bound group-think. This is the opposite of Spiritually informed "Group Wisdom."  Then they form in groups and coalitions who are vulnerable to mistaken values and actions. This vulnerability results from three traps set by their ego intellects. This is not the intellect informed by an advanced Spiritual Consciousness.   In Spiritual terms, the activation of the Christ Presence which is innate in everyone,  first requires an expanded and awakened Spiritual Consciousness.  Instead, the fundamentalists and right wing ideologues, however they may have brilliant intellects, are driven by a low spiritual consciousness that inadequately informs their limited ego owned intellects.   "They know not what they do."  In the fundamentalist's own terms, driven by their fear of uncertainty (loss of power and control) they are vulnerable to the seduction and rule of Satan [the deceiver] who can only inform via the limited and illusory material world of the senses. These provide the distorted data and information that informs their ego and its slave the intellect by which the falsely justify their actions. [See NOTE on why most fundamentalists and evangelicals are NOT Really "Saved"]

IMPOSITION OF FORCE BASED CONTROL AS SOLUTION FOR FEAR:  the bottom line of this sequence will be found in the strong fear driven needs of fundamentalist and low Spiritual Consciousness entities (such as the Bush White House) to accumulate and apply points of power and control over all others they define as being outside of their ingroup value system and belief structure. Prior to the election of 2006, there was already a significant accumulation of evidence showing how the Bushites are suppressing dissent, punishing dissenters, and stripping the Constitutional protections against abuse of power and replacing it with a militaristic command and control hierarchy throughout the government. Click here to review the evidence.  Therefore, any out-group or person holding divergent views is defined as a threat to their rigid, right wing extremist belief system, the only reality in which they can live.  Those familiar with George Orwell's well know work, 1984, will recognize the developing scenario as consistent with the fascistic government described in his book.

WEDGE ISSUES: You can observe how, in the 2004 election, the limiting fundamentalist mentality played into the hands of the right wing power mongers by their exploitation of wedge issues that have no Real substance in Christian Principle by virtue of how they are applied.

ABORTION: Abortion is a wedge issue that can actually be defended (under limited conditions) in accordance with Spiritual Principles. [Visit the argument for a Spiritual defense of Abortion (under certain limited conditions.)]  However, the low Spiritual Consciousness and the resulting fear agenda of typical fundamentalists denies them the capacity to grasp the Spiritual Principles at issue. Then they play into the hands of Satan!  There is evidence that certain Federal programs under the Bush administration unashamedly commit the sin of "...bearing false witness."  Certain programs directed to promoting sexual abstinence among teenagers apply threat messages based on gross misrepresentation and denials of scientific fact, e.g., "...that abortion can lead to sterility and suicide, that half the gay male teenagers in the United States have tested positive for the AIDS virus, and that touching a person's genitals "can result in pregnancy." [source]   Shame! Shame!

HOMOPHOBIA: homophobia is another wedge issue that has been falsely justified by fundamentalists using Old Testament Scripture. This is the same kind of Scripture which also allows for "...an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."  But these scriptures cannot be used as a license by Christians because they are countermanded by the New Testament teachings of Jesus. The homophobes selectively apply Old Testament Scripture in ways that pervert the original meaning and intent of that scripture:

1. "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. Also you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion." Leviticus 8:22-23"

2. "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their blood guiltiness is upon them."  Leviticus 20:13

Visit a source, and another source, that defends how these homophobic scriptures have been misconstrued by fundamentalists to justify their violation of New Testament Law that requires that every Christian to "...love your neighbor as your self." [using the Agapic definition of Love, not the erotic definition, see the Parable of the "Love Brothers."  Use your back button after the interpretation that follows the story to return to this jump point.]  This dictum requires that homosexuals be allowed to enjoy the same personal, emotional, and constitutional freedoms as other more normative sexual life styles.

STEM-CELL RESEARCH: Stem-cell research is a third wedge issue used to exploit scientifically and Spiritually ignorant fundamentalists who misapply their scripture to override science (which is Real knowledge revealed by GOD.) Then the right wing can elect a president and congress that is friendly to the vices of corporate America. Fundamentalists and other right wing dupes act to deny the full exploitation of stem-cell potential to create means of healing dreadful defects that are growing in the human gene pool, e.g., they manifest as Alzheimer's, spina-bifida, diabetes, and other cruel physical and mental defects. [Ref details in Part 2 of the three part Introductory Dialogue]  By their firm intent to force their perverted theology on the entire electorate, they are willing to insure that these horrors, that could be healed by stem-cell research, will be the fate of millions of vulnerable victims. [I encourage every fundamentalist who would act to deny the accessible cures through stem-cell research to visit Dialogue 6 of OT/MP, the Dialogue on Karma and Reincarnation.  There they will find scientific and Christian metaphysically valid definitions of a Real "hell" that they are preparing themselves to experience.]

POSITIVE RELIGIOUS ASPECTS MADE VICTIM: The nature of the problem of perverted elections does not only lie with the defects in evangelical fundamentalism by itself.  The tragedy lies in the perversion of values that corrupt the otherwise positive and respectable adherents to fundamentalism who are mostly decent people who lead useful lives, who offer legitimate Christian service to others, who mostly love their children and animals, who are good and law abiding citizens, and who try to live by positive religious principle.

But their perversions of Jesus' teachings and those very principles that ought serve them, do in fact afflict them adversely.  This is because the nature of their perversions remain outside of their intellectual consciousness, and therefore, are not accessible to their intellects.  The most potent threat is evident in the fact that the power and greed mongers of predatory capitalist America have been permitted to exploit these Spiritual defects in the entire electorate to carry the first two elections of the 21st Century.

DETAILS IN OT/MP: The nature of this ignorance and its traps are developed in detail in the major dialogues of OT/MP:

C/consciousness (Dialogue 1;) followed by the corruptions of Spiritual Consciousness: the three ego overlays of intellect,
agendas (Dialogue 2,) the first ego trap of mental consciousness; then
communication, (Dialogue 3,)  the second ego trap of mental consciousness;  then
HIP: Human information Processing competence, (Dialogue 4, ) the third ego trap of mental consciousness; then
power and control, (Dialogue 5,) the ego driven urge to accumulate power and force, the rise of the malignant expressions of the ego intellect
Karma & Reincarnation, (Dialogue 6,) the nature of unavoidable, patient, and perfect Spiritual Justice; and finally
the Ways and Power of Love, (Dialogue 7,)  This last topic, which can only be fully comprehended through an awakened Spiritual Consciousness.  Wide spread awakening and access to the scale and scope of this Consciousness is the only Real hope for viable and stable solutions to the world of problems that now afflict us.
A Concluding Epilogue (Dialogue 8) presents a summary that links the Metaphysical Principles of the MP with the politics of today by means of a master allegory The Infernal Catechism of the Secret Society of Power Brokers and Power Mongers [SSPBPM]

4. HOW  THE RELIGIOUS ELECTORATE WAS  SEDUCED
YOU CANNOT REASON WITH FUNDAMENTALISM OF ANY KIND!
LIBERALS MUST LEARN HOW TO COUNTER THE EGO DRIVEN AGENDAS OF THE EXTREME RIGHT BY ENTERING ONTO THEIR CONCEPTUAL TURF, NOT BY TRYING TO CONVERT THEM TO OUR "LIBERAL" TURF.
  To enter onto fundamentalist turf requires that liberals first develop a consciousness that incorporates the metaphorical foundation (context or ground) that defines and nurtures fundamentalist values as compared to the nature of the metaphor that nurtures liberal values.  [below]

The Islamic terrorists can bring down dozens of buildings and kill hundreds, even hundreds of thousands of Americans. But they cannot crack the integrity of our Democracy.  But the "conservatives," fundamentalists and evangelical Christians can destroy the integrity of the basic tenants of our Democracy, if not directly, then by serving as tools of those who are able and willing to do so. There are already many who are willing to serve that evil cause.  hose who are numbered among the willing are the power and greed driven, corporate controlled, extreme political right.

Corporate forces, headed by the Bushites, have made the evangelicals their principal tactical tool for winning elections.  These forces have already succeeded in wresting an incompetent and immoral administration (by Real Christian criteria and standards as developed below) from their deserved fate of being replaced.  A greater public, who remains ignorant of the Principles on which this position paper is based, allowed them to prevail again in the national elections of 2004.  In addition to manipulating the fundamentalists religious values, their biases also blind them to the presence of real election fraud, especially where electronic voting machines were used.  This pattern offers a grim prognosis for our society unless we aggressively undertake what must be done to counter this evil before the election of 2006.   Evidence has been found subsequenmt to the 2006 mid term el;ection that significant vote fraud did occur due to the unwillingness of our state and local governments to properly create protections against vote tampering and manipulation. [See evidence]


5.   ESSENTIAL INTERVENTIONS:
Those who are concerned about the health of American Democracy, can modify or depart their unconscious party affiliation and loyalty requirements.  Now they must join together in a massive coalition of liberal Christian and populist/progressive/liberal political energy that celebrates Truth above turf and Spiritual Consciousness above ego identity Failure to do so in the past is a causal contributor to our declining quality of life and onrushing demise of our two centuries of democracy. As Pogo, the comic strip character, has said, "We have met the enemy and they is us."

Those who really desire to alter the downward spiral of our nation into an autocratic corporate fascism will give up their ego directed tendency to focus on their own power struggles and turf battles within and among their competing coalitions and groups. Any tendency to prioritize personal power and control is an indicator of low Spiritual Consciousness no matter how nobel one's proclaimed values and  goals or the mission of any group. We can now gather together to support the Spiritual integrity of all political claims and goals the support the needs of people over institutions.  Spiritual character requires that political actions first and mostly support the rights and needs of the electorate, not the goals and values of the power and greed mongers and their corporate and political extensions.  For the liberal electorate to seriously take this challenge on will create a hell of a fight.  Blood will be spilled.

As developed in the MP's Consciousness model, "Thoughts held in mind manifest after their kind."   After one captures the array of problems and challenges in the limited ego managed intellect, e.g., as developed above and in the Introductory Dialogue to the MP, then in order to prevent their continuing manifestation, and prevent bloodshed, one will no longer obsess or dwell on them. Instead, they will set them aside as a kind of benchmark to guide and compare progress in coping with them.

Then one places all negativity on the alter of the intellect, and turns within to deep meditation and prayer in order to allow guidance (Wisdom) from the higher Spiritual planes of information to inform the ego intellect. [As described in Dialogue 1, on the Nature of Consciousness] These higher planes of Spiritual Intelligence are the only reliable Sources available to inform and direct the limited and limiting ego intellect.  Only by means of an awakened Spiritual Consciousness can any human system become adequately empowered to direct the kinds of decisions required to create and implement solutions to the enormous array of right wing generated problems that now challenge the future of America and humanity itself.


Streton Smith, a minister, once described the relationship between prayer (or meditation) and action.  As a metaphor, he described how once, when he was very hungry, he went to an elegant restaurant.  When he entered he saw magnificently appointed tables with  many kinds of people eating a wondrous variety of delicious looking food.  Soon he was seated and gave thanks for the beautiful table setting and dinnerware.  But nobody came to serve him.  He looked around at adjacent tables and yearned to order one of the many sumptuous meals he saw being eaten. But when nobody came to take his order became progressively frustrated and resentful.  Then as he stood up and looked around for someone to help, he finally saw at the far end of the room, long tables filled with a variety of scrumptious foods of every description from which customers were filling their plates.  Suddenly he understood.  This is a smorgasbord! You've got to get it yourself! [Smith, 1985]
So it is with prayer and meditation.  They only make possible and arrange the potential and the resources.  But then you have to "get it yourself."  This is why the verses in the New Testament, Book of  James, state, "...faith without works is dead."   This insight is central to the Principles of Christianity.  This is why the fallen fundamentalists and evangelicals are so successfully betrayed by Satan, and why it is that their works betray their claimed devotion to their Jesus.

They vote to "pass by on the other side,"  the vote for those who prevail by means of bearing false witness, and they affirm the wide varieties of Christian betrayals by the political right.  Now it is time for them to repent and support the works that are defined by the True Spiritual teachings and demonstrations of the liberal Jesus.

6. WHAT MUST BE DONE?
Following is a pattern of proposed interventions to be considered as part of an overall plan to accommodate, if not reverse, the low state of Spiritual Consciousness that compromises the vulnerable part of the electorate.  The goal is to integrate all that follows into a Holistic System of integrated and interacting interventions.  Piecemeal approaches will fail.  This presentation is necessarily over simplified due to the limits of this space.

Different visitors to this site will find they are positioned to energize one of the areas noted below more than others.  They must find each other by means of networking as noted below.  Following are only some of the more important initiatives related to an empowering Spirituality that must be successfully created and implemented in the next two years. By these means we can recover the True Christian Principles which were the founding strength of this Democracy:

THE FIRST DISQUALIFYING CONDITION FOR ANY ASPIRANT TO PUBLIC OFFICE IN THE FUTURE IS A DOCUMENTED PATTERN OF LYING.  Genuine reform of the entire electoral process must be immediately undertaken to guarantee standardized, simplified, and verifiable elections at all levels of government. Unless you are willing to believe that exit polls, whose accuracy has correctly predicted our elections for two decades, suddenly all failed in voting precincts were electronic voting machines were used in 2004, then you should understand how the right wing has manipulated these electronic voting machines to falsify votes to count in their favor. When these electronic machines miscount, they always alter the votes in favor of Republicans but not liberals or Democrats.  Why do you suppose that is??  Duhhh!!!
[Here is the evidence.]

Any elected official who opposes, dilutes, or obfuscates the effort to achieve this urgent goal can be voted out of office at the next election once their obstruction is evident, documented, and convincingly communicated to the electorate. This requires meticulous and relentless tracking of such persons.  It can begin with the Democrat's coordinated, and loud public promises to do this, backed up by the use of aggressive watchdogs to track and report every aspect of this political effort.

ALL VOTING BOOTHS IN THE NATION MUST BE PURGED OF ANY MACHINE THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE A TAMPER PROOF PAPER RECORD FOR EACH VOTE. THE RESISTANCE ENCOUNTERED IN ACHIEVING THIS GOAL WILL POINT TO THOSE WHO ARE CULPABLE.   THE EXTENT OF ELECTION FRAUD BY ANY MEANS WILL BE A MEASURE OF THE DEPTH AND SEVERITY OF THE CORPORATE CREATED AND INFLAMED SICKNESSES THAT ARE DESTROYING THIS NATION.

"The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority,
or rather, of that party, not always the majority,
that succeeds by force or fraud, in carrying elections."
Lord Acton (1907)

Success of this kind of proposal can only be defined by a unanimous vote by all parties in Congress to achieve this goal. If you feel this is overstated, then please do read the Preface and three part Introductory Dialogue of OT/MP.

No lies, misrepresentations, or distortions will be used to win elections, and a clearing house will be set up by liberal interests to detect and publicize every such lapse:  while the Democrats on occasion shamelessly apply such tactics, these tactics a are vital staple of the right wing lie machine.  Such strategies and tactics that are freely applied by the right wing to include, among others, false statements, innuendo, and misrepresentations to "bear false witness" to attack their opponents.  These must be absolutely be avoided, e.g., the Swift Boat, vicious smears,  and other lies.  Even "Over the top" and over sensationalized presentation of the facts, even those facts that can be proven correct, such as used by Michael Moore in film Fahrenheit 911, should be avoided.

Establish a new communication paradigm to incorporate a consciousness of the presence of metaphor. This consciousness of metaphor is required to reveal the Spiritual defects in right wing policy and practice, its violation of Christian principles, and the evil result of their influence that afflicts the common good.  Widespread public understanding of the Spiritual defects in the right wing and extremist elements of our population that produced the election result of 2004 can be presented in a consistent and compelling format.  Compelling evidence exists that liberals are trapped in a pattern of metaphor that hides the key to speaking in terms and images that connect with right wing patterns of metaphor.  This pattern of metaphor is discussed in Dialogue 3, the second ego overlay on Spiritual Consciousness.  The source for this information is highly recommended reading. [Source; In: Lakoff, George, 1995, "Metaphor, morality, and politics: Or, why conservatives have left liberals in the dust, Social Research, vol 62, no. 2 (summer); See also the  Rockridge Institute, ]  In implementing this objective, elements of the liberal "entertainment" industry can be enlisted to good cause. [Many of the allegories and elements of OT/MP lend themselves to dramatization by state of art production houses, e.g., Dreamworks, Lucas Industrial Light and Magic, e.g., see List of stories which are associated with the seven major dialogues, on this site.] [See also the development of this concept in the major dialogue devoted to "Communication, the second ego trap" that corrupts Spiritual Consciousness.]

Application of Spiritual Principles:  liberal initiatives can be directed toward promoting widespread public comprehension of the role of Spiritual (not religious) Principles as based on a new Paradigm, a Consciousness Paradigm.  However, achieved, this is the foundation source for the basic empowerment of expanded C/consciousness required to achieve any of the following initiatives.  The electorate must understand the principles first before they can hope to relate to the subsequent applications. [Subject of Dialogue 1, The Nature of C/consciousness]  This objective is furthest from the  Democratic Party's political machine's philosophy and operating manual.

Relentlessly and directly challenge abusive corporate power: NAME IT FOR WHAT IT IS.  Attention media and press!  Every elected or appointed government official who can be tracked to a corporate controller should be labeled as a lackey of our imperial corporations. Next focus relentlessly on that domain of abuse that corrupts the democratic processes itself (the elephant in the room) to take it on directly.  This will require great risk and courage on the part of media and journalist activists whose livelihoods are likely to be hostage to such risks.   The tactics that are likely to be most successful will apply mediation principles [See Mediation applications section of OT/MP] and educate and enlist CEOs and Corporate Boards in the cause.  Regardless of the scale of greed any CEO may represent, it is not in their interest to have the blood of the electorate, their own peers and employees, their families, or their own run in the streets of America, once the certain insurrections begin.   These principles of educating the powerful can cause them to understand the ultimate price they will pay if they oppose these essential developments. Only those corporate leaders that envision themselves at the helm of world wide power and control [ref SSPBPM] will be impervious to such a strategy.

Directly challenge the Corporate owned and operated Congress:  require liberal members of Congress to reveal and remove all conflict of interest in their relations with corporate America and its lobbies.  Then publicly reveal all members of congress who fail to do so ,and show the nature of their relationships with corporate power, and the effect of that link to their voting history and its consequences for the electorate. Then find liberal candidates to replace these sycophants to corporate power. Place accountability accurately where it belongs and in proportion to the damage to the public interest.  While this objective is a tough condition to meet, it will produce enormous rewards with the electorate in linking honesty (by works, not words) with the liberal elements of Congress.  Compile the record of progress to first apply it in the 2006 mid-term elections.

Make visible the effects of the religious right's misplaced religion:  [First visit the MP's definition of religion and criteria for estimating the spiritual health or pathology of any religion.] Directly confront the political incompetence of pathogenic religion grounded error.  Challenges to politically dis-empower those groups that create and exploit this error will be aggressively implemented.  Moderate religious advocates within the right wing who are capable of understanding those liberal links which empower the Real Christian value system.  They can be enlisted to help carry forward this goal.
[See "Jesus was a liberal  re note above;  See Why the Gnostics Disappeared" to permit the dominance of only orthodox Christian views that define the nature and limits of Christian fundamentalism]

THE RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL RIGHT ROUTINELY VIOLATE
EVERY PRINCIPLE AND DEMONSTRATION OF THE ACTUAL TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
CLAIM JESUS AS THE LIBERAL HIS LIFE AND TEACHINGS DEFINE HIM AS.

Open minded evangelical clergy who put Spiritual Truth before the politics of power can be taught this model to take to their congregations.  The boxed challenge re Satan, (at the top of this page,) is an example of a communication tactic that must be persistently and effectively forced into the context of the right wing's limited intellectual consciousness.  The more brilliant the ego intelligence of a member of any right wing group, the more entrenched and resistant he/she will be in accepting this new Spiritual Paradigm. What is not first in a person's C/consciousness cannot be processed by their intellect, no matter how brilliant. [Review the crucial functions of metaphor that helps explain the intransigence of the religious right. In Dialogue 3: Communication as the Second Ego Trap of Spiritual Consciousness.]

Low consciousness religionist [definition value systems are impervious to reason and logic arising outside of their limited span of consciousness. The positive liberal implications of Jesus' teachings must be constantly compared to Jesus' values can be contrasted with the Satanic implications of the materialistic political goals that were voted into office in 2004.  The media ought lead the way.  These are goals and values that violate Real Christian Principle because they harm people and destroy the quality of our biological and social ecology.

To be most effective, these messages will be Holistic, i.e., form a coherent and relentless pattern of terms and concepts that are natural to the limited fundamentalist consciousness, e.g., relating liberal concepts of Christian Spirituality to their familiar concepts of "sin," the "Rapture," and the "wrath of God." Emphasize that it is deed before creedas the only valid measure of Real Spiritual faith [See James: Ch 2: 18-26.]  Fundamentalist beliefs as to the nature of sin and the certain wrath of God at the persistent violation of Christian Principle will define themselves as guilty when they devote themselves to right wing politics.  Emphasizing this link can play on their innate fear and anxiety that drives them to cling to fundamentalist beliefs, but show them how to redirect their energy and intellectual consciousness to detect and acknowledge the existence and nature of right wing sin (Satanic influences) for what they really are.  This will produce an effect to further deenergize their mindless devotion to right wing politics.

The direction of these Satanic illusions can be changed to no longer point to the mistaken right wing's wedge issues, but instead, to point to the systemic pattern of right wing violations of Real Christian Truth [ref again that Jesus was a liberal] that now seriously and permanently harm our way of life. These messages can be relentlessly reinforced and driven into the consciousness of right wing opinion leaders by a variety of techniques.

Publicize the Taxonomy of Corporate Abuse to reverse the unregulated and out of control abuses by corporate power by direct congressional action: acknowledge the chronic destructive presence of totally out of control corporate power (via their money bloated lobbies) for what it Really is.  Take aggressive steps to remove corporations from direct political decision making.   Refer again to the NOTE: Behold the Elephant in the Room, and the explanatory image that is linked from it. This link includes the figure that can make the "elephant" visible to the electorate.  Unless this absolute corruption of our democratic processes is removed, at the source, from its present death grip on our democracy and our founding Constitution, all other efforts to cope with the growing array of our social and political problems (which are only symptoms of this root problem) will be in vain.  The most recent examples of a corporate conspiracy's efforts to lock out the public from their destructive actions against the electorate is CNN's removal of Crossfire (June 2, 2005.)  This was a highly popular program of open political debate involving expert spokespersons from both right and left.  CNN and other corporate media dare not permit an open debate on the obscene developments advancing corporate control over every aspect of our life, because the moral ethical impoverishment of the right wing supporters of unconstrained corporate power was being constantly revealed.  Tucker Carlson, an effective right wing ideologue and a former cohost on Crossfire has been given his own program on PBS, a public entity increasingly under the control of corporations because they are dependent upon corporations for their funding.  Worse, he has been given his own program on MSNBC where there will be three hours of consistent right wing bias beginning with Hardball (Chris Matthews, the least offensive), then for another hour, Tucker Carlson, and then a third hour of the right wing ideologue, Joe Scarborough Country, that presents the most extreme and unapologetic right wing bias.  Will we see the highly articulate liberal cohost, Paul Begala, get his own program?  Never, not on any corporate controlled broadcast entity, including alas, PBS.

Population control: immediate priority attention needs to focus on the destructive byproducts of the presently unconstrained national and worldwide population growth. [as developed in Part 2 of the three part Introductory Dialogue]  This correction is central to resolving our border problems with illegal immigrants and for resolving the Palestine-Israel question.  Control efforts should first focus on the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Central America. [Why this most urgent need continues to be ignored and opposed by corporate power and their political extensions is discussed in part two of the three part Introductory Dialogue.]

Reveal the now hidden tactical and strategic objectives of corporations: their sinister missions are not what is presented in their annual reports. Certain corporations are no longer concerned with profit as a priority.  Instead, they are devoted to nothing less that total world dominance and control over every national government and every electorate so as to render them helpless and powerless to oppose their autocratic rule.  [See part three of the three part Introductory Dialogue, and the Epilogue to the MP which contains the Allegory of the Infernal Catechism of the Secret Society of Power Brokers and Power Mongers that metaphorically describes this plan.]  Make visible to the public the Real and urgent threat they actually represent: Make clear the linkages between out of control corporate power expressing as our "elected" government, and the progressive loss of our freedoms that is now occurring as a result.

Note the history that begins with the fuel crisis of the 1970s that led to outrageous usury. That crisis was created and used to permit banks to charge up to more than 20 percent annual interest rates to ordinary borrowers, and drive, family farms, small and medium sized healthy businesses, and many families into bankruptcy where they were consumed by the banks, corporations, and by corporate conglomerates. [Re Greider, 1987, a major resource that should still be used in every academic program in economics and political science It is about to be repeated.  [See Bush initiative to protect banks from bankruptcy claims.] Alan Greenspan (Chairman of the Federal Reserve) has already stated the same party line that was used in the 1970s and 1980s, i.e., that higher interest rates may be required to rise to "save the economy." [See 1993 Essay in the Special Appendix where the details of this corporate sponsored and managed maneuver during the 1970-80s are explained.]

Reeducate the public to understand why "the government" is NOT the enemy:  the Principles of the MP will explain why the government is neutral. It is simply a passive puppet that implements the will of its controlling puppet masters.  Find out who the puppet masters are.  Who holds this control today?  This control, contrary to the established, accepted a d unchallenged myth, is NOT the electorate, NOT the people.  Control is now vested firmly in the power structures of corporations through the use of their lobbies, and by directly purchasing the services of our elected Congress.  They choose and limit both the issues and the candidates on which we are permitted to vote.  Referendums voted by the majority electorate are ignored and not enforced , e.g. the the immigration controls voted in the south west border states.  This process is explained in the Introductory Dialogue to OT/MP with its numerous links to various authoritative sites;  in Dialogue 5 [the malignancy of ego driven power and control agendas] regarding the causes of corporate abuse and political power now being unleashed;  and in the Epilogue (in the Allegory of the SSPBPM.)  In the 2004 election, only the original candidates Ralph Nader, and possibly Dennis Kucinich, and  Howard Dean, got it almost completely right, and you know what happened to them.

Whistleblowers: promote the rise of and protect the presence of courageous exposes of illegal and destructive actions in corporations, their puppet governments, and in their corporate controlled media.  There are functionaries with these entities that already have the power of "deep throat" who brought Richard Nixon to account.  Find them and protect them.  Use their information about damnable plans and activities that are certain to exist now within our government and within certain corporations.   Public Broadcasting should not only be protected in its present form, but it must be expanded and empowered as an instrument for communication to the people about the status and moral health of their government.  It can become a medium for presenting the pattern of whistleblower revelations. Then it must be protected in order to present regular, objective, hard hitting exposes of the revelations of journalists and whistleblowers about the realty and impact of corporate and government treason (against the people.)

Champion Advocates:  personages like Ralph Nader, Jim Hightower, Thom Hartmann, and other articulate liberal spokespersons and defenders of the rights of the people need to be given open channels to regularly address the public. Then they can keep them abreast of how liberal Christian values are tracking the variety of corporate instigated assaults and abuses of Americans and our vanishing resources, livelihoods, and freedoms.   Such resources should form "Truth Squads" to quickly pursue and reveal the lies and misrepresentations of right wing media and their spokespersons.

Dedicated Liberal News and Information Clearing Centers:  as of now there is only a single liberal news/talk network that reaches only a few cities.  Public awareness requires that these wellsprings of Truth be initiated as quickly as possible, a vast national network of radio, cable, blog, and other sources of liberal information. Truth and reliability must be the centerpiece of their expressed mission. Heretofore trustworthy official government information resources are being perverted and compromised by their corporate controllers.

But corporate fed political hacks in the Congress will be directed to oppose and defeat any such public initiative. The challenge lies in the new Reality that any public service program or project now requires the approval of corporations to obtain funds for such entities. Only courageous private individuals such as George Soros as one example, has both the will, courage and resources to fund liberal activities. That is why he is so feared and maligned by the extreme right.

Note: in the spring of 2005,  right wing political hacks in Congress and the IRS have undertaken an investigation to deny the NAACP and the Democratic Socialist Party of America (DSA)  their non profit tax exempt status.  The allegation they use to justify this assault on the DSA is because of a voter registration campaign they conducted in Minnesota in the 2004 election.  However, no such charges have ever been brought against The Christian Coalition, Jerry Falwell, or the 700 Club or similar right wing non profit tax exempt organizations in spite of their blatantly partisan activity in direct support of right wing causes and candidates.
All populist and progressive movements to be integrated:  the leadership of these forces for the public good are  themselves vulnerable to becoming victim to their own invisible ego agendas and limiting ego owned intellectual paradigms.  Instead, they can come together and yield their individual ego driven agendas to form a real coalition that places Truth and public interest ahead of self interest.

Sensitize the electorate to the Republican lie machine and its political scams:  the electorate must be trained to see through the tactical deceptions of the kind that Republicans freely use to bear false witness and falsely paint Democrats and their values with the taint of lies, deceptions and personal attacks by which they themselves won the election.  In an Orwellian reality, the Truth is the reverse.  Examples include the Swift Boat and other political ads based on lies, distortions, misrepresentations and other forms of bearing false witness.

Worse before better, point of greatest threat to the complete loss of our free way of life: As the greater public, including even the fundamentalists and evangelicals, slowly begun to realize what is happening to our social, economic, political and even religious way of life, they will understand how and why the ruthless wheels of corporate power begin to also grind them down. Then there is risk for increasing acts of desperation in the form of  individual and public expressions of violence and insurrection. The dynamic that will then be released will create a right wing "justification" to impose a police state. [The dynamic as to how this occurs is described in OT/MP's  Epilogue, in its Master Allegory, The Infernal Catechism of the SSPBPM.]

Confront Islam directly to repudiate and remove their self damning suras (verses) in their Holy Qur'an , both overseas and in the United States. The is required to account for and remediate the root source which not only justifies but requires the violent tactics of Militant Islam. These are the passages in the Koran that literally mandate exclusion and death for all unbelievers. I have never heard any journalist or pundit challenge any defender or apologist for Islam with these suras and have them explain why these offensive aspects of The Holy Qur'an are not removed. [See Evidence] How can any moderate Moslem take a stand for moderation and cooperation with any "unbeliever" and not risk becoming an outcast from their local and larger community of Islam?  Trust with Islam requires the repudiation of each of these threatening Koranic passages.

Detect and confront increased autocratic actions by corporations via the government they own: success in corporate conquest of our Democracy will become evident by means of a rapid increase of corporate directed (via the government) fascistic style tactical interventions.  Corporations are already hiring U.S. Navy Seals and Army Rangers.  What for? To replace our police and military enforcers?  What is the future of this?  Assaults on the public will include (for "the public good" of course,) curfews, identity checks, random invasions of personal space, secret tracking of personal information public and secret arrests, the secret holding of individuals without giving cause, imprisonment (or worse) of journalists and whistleblowers,) assassinations and disappearances of individuals who have, or who are likely to make serious inroads on the extreme right's hardening grasp of political power. Public opposition that takes to the streets, permits or not, will be ruthlessly suppressed. [Fascistic style responses that have already occurred are described in part three of the three part Introductory Dialogue.]

These actions will of course be blamed on anarchists, terrorists, or any outgroup that the right wing thinks can successfully be targeted in the low intellectual consciousness mind of the majority electorate.  But if the Real Christian and liberal elements of our society fail to act firmly in a timely manner, the result will lead to lost generations of all those who aspire to live in a world made safe for the liberal examples of Jesus' version of Christianity, the values of our founding Constitution which minimized the inclusion of God [Allen, , 2005], but applied Spiritual Principles to the practice and nurturance of Real Spiritual Consciousness.

Right now, we have been taught to focus on an external enemy, international terrorists and militant Islam. But the real enemy is the consciousness of Satan within each individual.  This energized and permits the presently unchallenged and growing ruthless pattern of right wing directed corporate power.

Identify and Recruit Credible Fundamentalist/Evangelical Spokespersons for liberal (Jesus approved) Causes:  Seminars can be held to invite a sampling of individuals who are credible within the fundamentalist community, but not officially aligned with the political right.  Using the fundamentalist speak sampled in this essay, they could be challenged to defend the evidence that Jesus was a liberal, that His teachings and demonstrations are liberal, and that their community has been collectively lied to and betrayed by the corporate owned political right and their religionist supporters.  A strategy for disseminating their support can be developed to promote networking and "revivalist" meetings to bring their community back on course with Jesus' teachings.

The "Applications" section of OT/MP proposes a dramatically different way of life for the Unites States that can be achieved in some form during the first decades of this Century.  This is because the scale of healing change that is required within the electorate, and the change to an expanded Spiritual Consciousness that is required, cannot be achieved under the same conditions of inadequate intellectual consciousness that created the current political disaster. Its root cause is negligence to advance, support, and live by Spiritual Principles.  Well more than half of the electorate is entirely oblivious to this condition, even that it exists, let alone how and why it came to pass, and what must be done about it.

PRESENT ALL OF THE ABOVE TO THE PUBLIC AS A SINGLE, SYSTEMATIC, AND  INTEGRATED HOLISTIC SYSTEM!!!   Do not follow the historical path.  This is the piecemeal, compartmentalized path of error today.  Any strategy that is compartmentalized, piecemeal, and linear will fall apart, piece by piece. There dare not be any turf battles within the liberal, progressive, and populist communities.  The redirected path to our future dare not be fought over by competing "well intended" interests. The justification for this claim can be understood by a study of all the elements of Dialogue 1, the basic Dialogue on the Nature of Consciousness and Holistic (systems) thinking.

Encourage those you have influence with to conduct the following experiment. See which of the following groups most appeals to your Soul.  No right wing advocate would dare to make this challenge to compare the following:

Right wing news and opinion, e.g., the Fox News Channel which is a direct conduit to the right wing lie machines orchestrated from the White House
Relatively objective news and balanced opinion, e.g., The News Hour with Jim Lehrer  (PBS;)
Corporate owned and operated news sources such as Inside Politics, (CNN;) Hardball with Chris Matthews (MSNBC;) and Meet the Press with Tim Russert (NBC)
Progressive and populist news and opinion, e.g., The Progressive Populist (the Cullin Brothers); Thom Hartmann Commentary and Opinion; and  The Lowdown, the  Jim Hightower Newsletter.
Visit The Progressive Populist link pages to discover a treasure trove of resources for energizing the liberal  left.
Notice how some of the language of this essay is written as extremist polemic. This is the kind of rhetoric the right wing requires.  They do not have the capacity to penetrate or embrace a complex subtle concepts that are resident in an expanded and sophisticated Spiritually grounded intellectual consciousness, no matter how brilliant they are intellectually. The advanced Consciousness of the liberal is alien for the religious right.  Recall how they ridiculed the sophistication of John Kerry, and every liberal force that preceded him.  [Dialogue 4, on HIP (Human Information Processing explains this dynamic in detail]

You cannot reason with the fundamentalist and right wing intellect. But you can overwhelm them with evidence, facts, contradictions to their claims, a relentless pattern that they eventually find embarrasses their claims.  Then they require a face saving option for them to reverse their opinion.  The plus side of the low consciousness intellect, is that if you can find those few relevant buttons and press them, they will abruptly flip, i.e., reverse their position on an issue 180 degrees.]


7.  THE DOWNWARD COURSE IS GREASED BY FEAR
In the following progression, the underlying cause of extremist value systems is seldom recognized for what it actually is. Thus its presence cannot be acknowledged, let alone stated directly. This underlying cause is FEAR. This fear is a direct byproduct of low Spiritual Consciousness, and thus compromised intellectual consciousness.  The controlling power mongers are driven by fear energized by the base elements of greed and a lust for power.  The owners of this fear are oblivious to its source which originates in their absent or anemic Spiritual Consciousness. [developed in Dialogue 1, The Nature of C/consciousness]  Then fear is manipulated as an instrument to control the electorate [example: evidence from investigative journalists]

They fear that unknown conditions may cost them their power and control over others.  But they have discovered that they can prevail if they skillfully exploit the innate fear that exists in all the Spiritually lacking elements of the electorate.  This base fear is nourished by fundamentalist teachings (re original sin and a wrathful God.)   [The origins of this Christian teaching and the manipulative use of fear by religion, is briefly summarized in the concluding sections of part three of the three part Introductory Dialogue. Review]

But the liberal elements of the electorate who do not understand this dynamic cannot create and implement any reliable and effective means to adequately cope with it.

In this ambiance of ego grounded, intellectually amplified, incipient fear, the political right concocts a witches brew that they serve up to the low consciousness conservative, fundamentalist and evangelical public. The political right manipulates the right wing ego and its slave the intellect by linking the fear they experience to liberals, liberal causes, and that convenient abstraction, "the Government." Then they link solutions for those fears to the extremist and religionist [definition] Republicans.

Thus these vulnerable (low consciousness) elements of society are coerced, seduced, and manipulated to progressively surrender their freedoms to a controlling right wing in-group of elite, and their group-think value system.   In fundamentalist terms, the name of the demon who owns this pit is Satan.   This pit into which we already descend is managed and operated by Satan's demon child, FASCISM.


8. THE GREATEST SOURCE OF THREAT TO SOCIAL STABILITY:
The power mongers of predatory capitalism have figured out how to exploit the lowest common denominator of Spiritual weakness and corruption. They they apply this skill in order to seduce their disastrous values on the American electorate.  They are now positioned to cash in, big time, and they will.  This is the real abomination.  Except for Ralph Nader, there were negligible references to unregulated and unaccountable corporate power itself, the Real threat that consumes the nobel virtues of America's founding character: honesty, fairness, and compassion.  There was some challenge to this corporate abuse directed to symptoms, e.g., outsourcing, by CNN's Lou Dobbs. But direct confrontation from the real and pervasive corporate threat to our freedoms and way of life is simply not even acknowledged by the pundits who must themselves feed in the trough of the corporate controlled media. Any others not so shackled are silenced and squeezed out.

The REAL source of dangerous threat to the electorate
and America's future is the unchained, unregulated
and unchallenged abuse of raw corporate power and wealth.

THIS REALITY REMAINS UNACKNOWLEDGED
AND UNADDRESSED IN CONTINUING
DIALOGUES SUBSEQUENT TO THE ELECTION.

Political decision making is now formed and energized by a coalition of out of control corporate power mongers, headed by the Bushites.  They have picked all the candidates that survived to participate in the 2004 general election, and then insured that their favorite son prevailed.  It is not a figure of speech to assert that, from the values found as the consciousness of the defenders and protectors of corporate power, the American electorate can go to hell.  But only through an awakened Spiritual Consciousness in a critical mass of the electorate can this claim be made visible by their works.   How do these Satanic works appear to the intellect?


9.  INDICATORS OF PROGRESSIVE STEPS LEADING TO FASCISM:
I offer the following conditions that can be found in a number of scenarios now evolving for American society. These will continue to manifest and increase as our nation declines into a ruination from which recovery will soon not be possible.  These are linked to the 14 indicators of fascism (presented above) that are already evident in our society. The nature of the following conditions are such as to justify to the corporate controllers, that the government should act as their agent to first assure, and then permanently lock up exclusive and unchallengable autocratic rule by the interlocking directorates of corporate power. [The Epilogue to the MP provides a major allegory, The Infernal Catechism of the Secret Society of Power Brokers and Power Mongers, and suggests what can be done to counter their plot, Visit]

Such success will validate and confirm their expansion of fascistic control as a workable strategy. But this strategy will not be visible to the low consciousness and Spiritually anemic American electorate.   As this realm of fascistic control, which is not now visible to the a public expands, even the liberal elements who feel the threat cannot understand it in useful ways.  This is because their impoverished intellectual consciousness cannot be informed by the Wisdom only created by an active Spiritual Consciousness.   But since those who suffer this affliction suffer from an impoverished Spiritual Consciousness, they are also impoverished of intellectual consciousness.  Then the liberals suffered one defeat after in an other, in the Congress and with the electorate.  Thus, the following scenarios are set:

George W. Bush now believes that he literally has a mandate from God to implement, on his terms, an extremist right wing agenda in support of absolute political control being transferred from democratic governments the world over to the corporate power and greed mongers who already control a vast network of international interlocking corporate boards of directors. [evidence as noted above]  [A summary of related evidence is presented in part three of the three part Introductory Dialogue.]

Use of "The Big Lie" as a standard tactic  [Origin of "The Big Lie"]:  On February 2, 2005, in his State of the Union message to Congress and the American people, President Bush said, regarding the social security "crisis,"

"So here is the result: Thirteen years from now, in 2018, Social Security will be paying out more than it takes in. And every year afterward will bring a new shortfall, bigger than the year before.

For example, in the year 2027, the government will somehow have to come up with an extra $200 billion to keep the system afloat. And by 2033, the annual shortfall would be more than $300 billion. By the year 2042, the entire system would be exhausted and bankrupt."

(AUDIENCE BOOS)

The Democrats did not boo because the president said something that they disagreed with.  They booed because the President's statement was false. It was a blatant, bold face lie. It was a lie in the style and scope of the lies about WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) and other falsehoods that justified the unnecessary invasion of Iraq.  It is another big lie, a calculated tactic intended to frighten the electorate. This is just one version of the big lie that is consistent with the disgraceful outpouring of the Republican lie machine that has functioned full bore since well before the election of 2004.   The evidence is too complex and detailed to be included here [source 1, source 2.]  The true facts show that there is ample time to make the necessary corrections to insure social security's solvency through the rest of this century.  Other evidence suggests that the real Bush agenda is to destroy social security, the most successful social program in American history. Why? In order to flush even more worker dollars (three trillion) directly to the coffers of corporate America.

Meanwhile, the President flies around six states in Air Force 1 to promote his lie at enormous expense to the taxpayers.  Where are the liberal "Truth Squads" to come in behind the President after these events and cleanse the electorate of these lies?  These squads do not exist, or the corporate owned media stifles them and/or deletes the activities of such groups.  Wake up middle America!

Expanded assaults on the rights and needs of the majority of the American Public. The following Internet source cites more than 1300 documented actions by the Bush administration that have adverse impact and consequences for the American public.

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism.  Nationalistic fervor is required to create the necessary in-group, out-group, and we-they mentalities at the national level. This tactic serves as a subterfuge as Real power is steadily transferred from governments to corporations. This tactic serves to energize a fear driven reaction to the uncertainty being presented to democratic electorates from international and home grown terrorism, both to other nationals around the world, and to those who oppose right wing values within the United States. &nb
