Hitler’s children to step down

It is time for Hitler’s children to step down, for a new more humane world.

As the threat of nuclear war looms once more, with the leaders of the world
as usual trying to solve global issues via violence & corporate enhanced,
machiavellian principles. Plus with the backward thinking male dominated,
religious groups spewing their rancid rhetoric to justify killing civilians
who are different to them. A familiar pattern has re-emerged with such a
despicable clarity, that we could all die laughing.

A crisis of masculinity has reached global proportions yet again, what a
surprise. The male children of the world are stamping their feet and causing
unrest amongst those who do not wish for such demonstrative power to rein
over our lives. These emotionally inadequate sadists lack the wisdom and
vision to move this planet into a place of universal security. They do not
deserve the thrones that they have claimed. They lack the imagination to
further humanities personal freedoms and have increased the death toll,
whilst increasing the threat of nuclear war. They have failed, relying on
institutional comforts and corporate greed.

Be afraid, for we are moving into a new phase in this ‘Dirty Harry’ bombast,
merry go round. A psychotic shift has taken place; we no longer have the
traditional ‘American type’ serial killer to contend with, but serial
bombers. Bush’s tactical and cynical agenda is coming into fruition and the
rest of the world will suffer the consequences of this tragically ‘Roman
Empire’ type episode that many of the USA’s people are ignorant to. The US
has the largest and most sophisticated arsenal of nuclear weapons in the
world. And it seems that America’s government is not that hesitant in
threatening other countries such as Iraq with its muscle brain antics.

With the recent leak to the LA Times, which published the first report on
it. ‘The NPR advocates building and testing smaller nuclear weapons and
raises the possibility of treating nuclear weapons as part of the regular
military arsenal of the US. This policy flies in the face of ongoing
international attempts to prevent another arms race, and as a result many
world leaders have reacted with shock and horror to the document -- even
some of those who are part of the Bush administration's international
coalition. Particularly worrisome is the fact that the NPR lists several
non-nuclear countries as possible candidates for nuclear strikes; the
traditional US commitment to using nuclear weapons only in retaliation for a
nuclear attack appears to have been abandoned.’

And what are Artists living in America and the rest of the world doing about
this? As their own country mediates them daily with misinformation and false
patriotic rhetoric. Are they collectively joining forces, with non-artists,
people of the world, making a stand against such global violence?

ONE LINK: SEVEN MINUTES TO DOOMSDAY
------------------------------------------------------
On February 27, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Bulletin of
the Atomic Scientists moved the minute hand of the "Doomsday
Clock," which symbolically measures the likelihood of nuclear
holocaust, from nine to seven minutes to midnight. This is the
same setting at which the clock debuted 55 years ago. Read their
thorough and important summary of the global nuclear threat to
learn why they believe that the threat of destruction is so
close, and what can be done about it. If you click on only one
link this week, make it this one.

NUCLEAR TREATIES AND TESTING
------------------------------------------
The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is the most widely
accepted arms control agreement. Only Cuba, Israel, India, and
Pakistan are not members. This brief, cogent summary is a great
introduction to the treaty, and includes links to other resources
if you would like to find out more.

wish to make a better world for us all, rather than pretending that
everything is all right…less career making & more effort for life enhancing
solutions are needed right now.

Aesthetic denial is not appropriate.
