The Four Guardians

It wasn't extolled nor     placed in your Corn Flakes ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox     your purveyors, distilling Comfort with doling drool     notable for insignificance Any meaning, any real intensity     any carry of respect for your               S U R V I V A L Lost to the winds like a plume             from Fukushima That could have been brought                   so much closer Except for Four Guardians      sacrificing themselves for                your sorry ass

Additional Notes:
In these last few days four high-ranking military commanders have lost their jobs defending you from another 9/11...only this time planned to relieve millions of Americans of their lives with a thermo-nuke strike on Charleston, South Carolina. The president did not get his false flag where he could install himself in the White House for keeps under martial law as a dictator. He will just have to keep doing it with his pen. Go back to watch the boob tube though and pretend I just made this up. The way you did over all the lies you bought that have started the last four wars to which you offered up sons and daughters.

JCH, As you know, I have a deep other world sensibility. I believe the Book the Word of God. Sui generis, not a mere piece of human wisdom albeit endowed with spiritual insight. That Book informs my approach to the world. Christ decried the religious hypocrites, not their power but their hypocrisy. He did not confront Rome nor the social constructs. His kingdom was not of this world. When the social constructs erected spiritual barriers, He tore at them. But their material barriers, He simply walked around them - or I should say right through them. Satan and His minions could have the world; the children of the kindgom suffer in it. The suffering has value and is only temporary, like the social constructs the world fights over. I don't mean to diminish the labors of those who fight against or expose social injustice or threats to worldly peace posed by the efforts of the manipulators. It is certainly false, evil, and worthy of your stand(s). I am trying to give you, my friend, some insight into a difference in perspective of you and I, who otherwise connect in many ways. My heart is simply in other battles. Some of the zealots helped crucify Christ because He saw the battle differently. I follow Him. And as there were pure zealots then who did not crucify Christ but loved Him while rueing His declining of a worldly crown, you and I are brothers and allies but have somewhat different concerns. Man, I'm sappy this morning . . . sometimes it takes being "sappy" to make progress with one's self and others, to open understanding and enrich relationships. I trust we are brothers and "in this" together, though we have our differences. Your poem has the JCH combative edge. The edge of an honest zealot with a pure heart who seeks a real good and the advancement of peace and real progress, and exposes the enemies of all men. I simply say add: they have no "power" over you and I that was not given to them from above. That is the ultimate victory, and the ultimate perspective. You will probably say they only have power because of the failure to confront them, because we let them "win." But I don't think so. As to specifics: are you referencing something alluded to by Senator Lindsey Graham where he tied an attack on Syria to prevention of a "terrorist" nuclear attack on Charleston, SC ? Do we have some clues here: http://benswann.com/president-obama-fires-high-ranking-nuclear-chiefs/ http://charlotte.cbslocal.com/20
/09/03/graham-nukes-in-hands-of-terrorists-could-result-in-bomb-coming-to-charleston-harbor/ Anyway, if you are right, wow, yes, those generals did a brave, courageous, good thing for which they should be commended, as you ably have. No one could differ with you on that if your facts are true. Anyway, perhaps I am merely one of the "sorry asses," but I trust you see it's a bit deeper than that. I have used this opportunity to speak heart to heart with you in light of some of our honest exchanges over the years. Geez . . . sappy, sappy, sappy MSS this morning. Peace, my friend. MSS

JCH What gives? Who lost their jobs, where's the press about this? Are you seriously suggesting Obama wants to be El President para la Eternidad? You've got my (albeit limited) attention. MAH

Thank you for writing this JC; I wasn't aware and ended up having an in depth conversation with my son about Fukishima and also hearing more from friends of mine in North Carolina who were very aware - You've written a powerful piece which in itself is noteworthy and informative on the dismal events surrounding us in the U.S. on a daily basis. Thumbs up - your concern is so appreciative. Deni

I am not sure of what to make of the message. However the poem is clever and to the point. They tell us what they believe we should know. Like pouring us our morning breakfast.

Hello James, good to see your work again. We keep saying this over and over and in numerous ways--I don't know how much clearer you can put it out there--no one seems to listen or is it that they just can't comprehend the betrayl. Your poem is hard hitting and so too the point. It does make one wonder that if at the moment hits them in the face if they will understand then--when it is too late, when it can't be stopped or changed. Keep writing--if you reach at least one then you will have made a dent. I applaud you for standing up and speaking out. :) Lora
