[Weapons, Wars and Law people ]
What is a weapon?
In the dictionary there are many definitions,
but we all know that a weapon is a tool used to harm
(while defending yourself,
hunting or as a deliberate attack).
Weapons were a great help for the survival of the human species
because they were used for hunting
so it made primitive man's living easier.
Unfortunately humans started to use these objects (weapons),
not as an utility necessary to survival,
but as some objects through which they could express their hatred and selfishness,
behaviors created by the environment.
1. Humanized weapons: are objects that have a different utility
but may become, or have become, weapons.
We're talking about knives, blades, hands,
absolutely anything that can be used as a weapon;
They’re called humanized because only humans can transform them into weapons.
Those objects wouldn’t become weapons if society was based on intelligence
and focused on education.
Which is not the case in the current system.
2. Weapons: objects / machinery specifically designed to hurt.
Weapons are mainly focused on hurting human beings and not enough on hunting.
Hunting is now an activity done for pleasure,
a hobby, a form of entertainment.
Hunting isn’t even necessary anymore
because the need for hunting is long gone.
Some are used strictly to hurt other human beings.
Guns, swords, bombs, rocket launchers, fighter planes, tanks,
cannons and other sophisticated weapons
are focused on attacking other humans.
People in charge of weapons business
have invented a new term: self-defense weapons,
but they forgot that for self-defense weapons to exist
they need the other ones, pure weapons.
In that, they are all weapons, the only difference is how they are used.
Instead of eliminating those weapons
they invented others for self-defense.
People have had the nerve to create national arms
(weapons of mass destruction).
These are weapons designed for countries to be used during potential conflicts,
and they continue to invest massively in the development of these objects / machines.
How can you create such weapons when we share the same planet?
Today America has 300 submarines
Each one, not according to me but according to the War Department,
has more destructive power than all the world and history. One submarine.
now where can we go with that? what can you accomplish?
But there's a place for particular senators and government officials,
they built a place under a mountain for them to go to in case of nuclear war.
Well, there's a six month supply of food, water, all the necessities of life.
What do you come out to?
You ever think of that?
A burnt out, radioactive wasted area?
how stupid can you be?
All laws are coming to existence because of scarcity
when there's scarcity of water people will steal it, remove it
if not for themself for their children
so, all the laws in the world
but if you don't want people to steal water, build an electric fence around the water
and it's the way to say, you don't need to put outside: don't steal water
but those people will die
so we don't want to do that
we don't want to build a fence around our country and say
This is t he greatest country in the world. We're gonna keep it that way
we depend on other countries, if we live on ourselves I'm can assure you
we'll die on ourselves
because if the Russians do nuclear testing
and they dump radioactive stuff into the sea or the Japanese
The world is one big place and the air moves around
and the waters move
therefore living to yourself, your little isolated colony
your little culture that you wanna build
your little city that you wanna build
of people with like-mindedness
all of that has no basis for survival
Now, as a normal person, you'll wonder what they are thinking and where could this lead?
It's easy to solve the mystery of continued weapons development.
We live in a monetary system that relies on consumers to function and on profit to evolve.
How is the weapon business the most profitable business?
It's normal for this industry to prosper,
even though it represents a disgrace to the human species
and also a danger (possibly the greatest),
because of the conflicting vested interests of countries and companies causing conflict.
An intelligent system can take back any weapon
and would invent some strictly to protect the human race
in case of alien invasion,
although if such a war would occur, we would have no chance
because the attacking alien species should have a much more advanced technology,
since they've succeed in traveling to our planet.
It was just an idea to keep the weapon concept.
Do you think we can get rid of these nuclear arsenals and how do we go about doing it?
Well, you got to ask what they are for.
When man is educated and has access to abundance
(food, comfort, technology) without the need for obedience,
which is possible, then he would not need weapons,
and the humanized weapons would not have reasons to be animated
because there is no reason to attack anyone.
Instead of producing these weapons that have filled the planet,
in massive quantity causing extensive damage,
it would be better to produce technology, machines...
that can save man from any work, from the desire to steal, to commit murders.
Instead of creating weapons of mass destruction
you can create weapons of mass creation.
Wars represents people playing with guns on a massive scale.
Ask yourself, when two or more countries are at war:
who took this decision to kill each other?
Did you vote for that?
After all the countries are some imaginary delimitation's,
if I'm in one of these countries and I'm in danger, who's to blame?
Who decided to declare war on a country?
Do they understand what a country is?
Who are those individuals that take action on behalf of everyone?
And more importantly, what are they solving through this brutal act?
There have been many wars over time;
what was the result of these wars, besides suffering and dead people?
Ask yourself what is the purpose of war
and why do we struggle to prevent them?
War is a word which was invented when one territorial group of people
took away others people's land
they used force and violence, and war was the media for doing that
you shot other people, stole their women and their resources
for your own gain
and nations have been at war
ever since man invented weapons
and as long as you invent weapons, you will have war
and war is the means of protecting everything you've stolen from others.
No nation starts out very big
they start out smaller and take lands away from other people
and they don't take it by invitation
they weren't invited to take over the land
they took it, by killing force and violence
and war is the most inapropiate way of solving the differences
that's why I'm against the pentagon and the military
because they majorely should be concern with how to bridge the differences
and bring nation together, towards common purposes
mainly taking care of the environment, one another
and restoring the damaged environment
that's what I would like to see in military systems
I would like to see, instead of training millions of soldiers to be killing machines
I rather train them in being problem solvers
turn them back to school, teaching social science
social psychology, sociology
so they can add to the culture, not be destructive.
Again, think how different life would be
if soldiers were taught to resolve social differences instead of how to kill.
Personally, I would prefer to work
so that soldiers can have all the comfort they need for free,
in order for them to help solve problems,
to become problems solvers instead of creators.
Who wouldn't wish that?
Instead of a brutal intervention, beastly and with many deaths that ultimately doesn't solve anything,
to have some extremely knowledgeable people
part of an intervention that can alleviate and solve problems.
Wars represent the ultimate failure of humans,
where they cannot deal with the problems at hand
or they don't want to.
And I tried hard to be proud of my service, but all I could feel was shame.
Racism could no longer mask the reality of the occupation.
These were people. These are human beings.
I've since been plagued by guilt anytime I see an elderly man
like the one who couldn't walk, who we rolled onto a stretcher
and told the Iraqi police to take him away.
I feel guilt anytime I see a mother with her children like the one who cried hysterically
and screamed that we were worst than Saddam as we forced her from her home.
I feel guilt anytime I see a young girl
like the one I grabbed by the arm and dragged into the street.
We are told we are fighting terrorists.
The real terrorist was me and the real terrorism is this occupation.
Racism within the military has long been an important tool to justify the destruction and occupation of another country.
It's long been used to justify the killing, subjugation and torture of another people.
Racism is a vital weapon employed by this government.
It is a more important weapon than a rifle a tank, a bomber or a battleship.
It's more destructive than an artillery shell or a bunker buster or a Tomahawk missile.
While those weapons are created and owned by this government
they are harmless without people willing to use them.
Those who send us to war do not have to pull a trigger or lob a mortar round.
They do not have to fight the war. They merely have to sell the war.
They need a public who is willing to send their soldiers into harm's way.
They need soldiers who are willing to kill and be killed without question.
They can spend millions on a single bomb
but that bomb only becomes a weapon when the ranks in the military are willing to follow orders to use it.
They can send every last soldier anywhere on Earth but there'll only be a war if soldiers are willing to fight.
And the ruling class, the billionaires who profit from human suffering
care only about extending their wealth,
controlling the world economy.
Understand that their power lies only in their ability to convince us that war,
oppression and exploitation is in our interest.
They understand that their wealth is dependent on their ability
to convince the working class to die to control the market of another country.
And convincing us to kill and die is based on their ability to make us think that we are somehow superior.
Soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen
have nothing to gain from this occupation.
The vast majority of people living in the US have nothing to gain from this occupation.
In fact, not only do we have nothing to gain but we suffer more because of it.
We lose limbs, endure trauma and give our lives.
Our families have to watch flag-draped coffins lowered into the earth.
Millions in this country without health care, jobs or access to education must watch
as this government squander over 450 million dollars a day on this occupation.
Poor and working people in this country are sent to kill poor and working people in another country to make the rich richer.
Without racism soldiers would realize that they have more in common with the Iraqi people
than they do with the billionaires who send us to war.
I threw families onto the street in Iraq only to come home and find families
thrown onto the street in this country in this tragic, tragic and unnecessary foreclosure crisis.
We need to wake up and realize that our real enemies are not in some distant land
and not people whose names we don't know and cultures we don't understand.
The enemy is people we know very well and people we can identify.
The enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable.
The enemy is the CEO's who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable.
It's the insurance companies who deny us health care when it's profitable.
It's the banks who take away our homes when it's profitable.
Our enemy is not 5,000 miles away. They are right here at home.
If we organize and fight with our sisters and brothers we can stop this war.
We can stop this government and we can create a better world.
The killing of Osama Bin Laden is a failure to me
because the negative retroactions of that will be enormous!
It's the amount of hatred and people that will die as a result of that.
So the killing of one man never destroys a value system.
It destroys that person, but the value system goes on.
Racism, bigotry, stupidity are part of the problem.
Stupidity means lack of information regarding certain types of problems.
If you start killing people, you'll always have people you want to kill.
-- Law people (Police)
Police: they are the ones that keep our society under control.
These human beings are following some laws and they make you follow those laws too,
without giving any explanation or asking themselves why they are doing this.
Because: 1. cops are directly in touch with the monetary system citizens
2. the language used is old and interpretable
3. A policeman’s status makes him behave violently, even if he doesn't want to.
We have shown in the prison experiment what such a job can make you do.
4. Laws are fixed for an unequal society
5. Citizens are obedient in front of authority
6. The policeman represents a trade
and we saw that the job is just a form of slavery dressed in bright colors
Practically this job negatively affects everyone
in a chaotic rhythm.
The policeman may behave violently,
he may misinterpret what you say
(today if you are over 30 years and talk to a 12 year old girl,
you must be careful with what you say because you may be misinterpreted and be accused of pedophilia);
and people tend to be obedient to the authorities.
With such an interpretable language
this system can’t be beneficial, even if the laws would be useful and accurate,
which is not the case.
Not to mention the corruption that is a direct result of the monetary system
because money is made more important than anything else.
If it is accepted that justice makes things right through punishment,
why do situations like this still occur?
It's 17 april 2005, at police headquarters, in Providence, Rhode Island.
26 years old Esteban Carpio is being questioned about the murderer of an elderly woman.
Suddenly Carpio grabs detective Jim Allan's gun and shoots him at point blink range
in the face
As Allan lays dying Carpio leaps from a third floor window
and attempts to escape.
He is captured only a few blocks from police headquarters
and when he appears at his arragement, the extend of his injuries stunned the courtroom.
I was horrified when I saw this kid walk in the courtroom.
I mean, I've seen those masks used before to keep people from spiting or biting the officers that are guarding them
but this wasn't for that.
That's not the norm, you never see people come in with a mask, it's very rare.
Whatever he might have done, whatever he was charged for, whatever the accusation, the mask is dehumanizing.
It makes him look like an animal.
I mean that looks to me almost like brain damage time.
You know, the way the forehead is so swollen, eyes are covered in wax? almost.
But it's really just a skin.
if you look at the before picture and the after
you can't recognize him and it's no wonder his family reacts the way they do.
It was very obvious, that the reason why he was wearing that is because the cops decided to take justice into their own hands,
before he ever enter the courtroom.
An investigation conducted by the FBI
cleared police of any wrongdoing.
The fact is if you are judged to be a bad enough person, the law enforcement
has a great latitude, as to which sort of summary punishment they are going to inflict upon you.
In october 2006, Carpio showed up in court again
This time without the mask.
He was sentenced to life without a possibility of parole.
And do not forget that increasingly
more private companies employ people as personal police
or private security to protect personal rights / laws of that company.
O.K just one more time, central London we're outside
the Shell headquarters the British Headquarters of Shell
and even before I started filming
the private security we're very adamant that
no filming would be allowed, this is one more example of
a man standing on very public property with the camera
just being told what to do .
It starts to grate me,
but they are only following orders but, what orders are they following?
He is trying to shoot (pictures) from the person road, filming the building.
I required him not to, but he's going on filming.
- The thing is... we are on a public area - I don't give a shit man, you know that
I advised you that you to do not make a scene.
Do you just swear at me?
You just stood there... When I told you that you are not allowed
You just stood there and said I'm doing it
I don't give a damn, I'm just doing it
I didn't say that I don't give a damn
But I'm on a public area
Are you a police man?
If I would be a policemen, I would have arrested you
You would have arrested me? Under what charge?
What would you have arrested me under?
Just said it to you man, just said it...
He asked me to stay here, I'm not gonna obey you
I'm sure you will notice that this is shell, a big oil company of course
and a ... this is a public area, this is the public sidewalk... What is this big wheel called?
The london eye, and
if you want to film at the outside of a building in a public area in London,
you are allowed to do so, you are fully allowed to do so
and my dad used to work for shell
not that this would be relevant to anything
but what is also relevant is, that even before I took my camera out
he was trying to tell me what to do
Anyway, this is one the new London bikes, sponsored by Barclays of course
you can't have a nice bike-scheme without being sponsored by...
a big bank
where's the police man?
oh maybe you are allowed to film in a public area, maybe you are not allowed to tell me what to do
You think you get a fluorescent jacket and a little radio
and then you can actually tell normal people what to do?
Just stand there
See, this is a public area! I'm on a public area!
Why are you coming to me for?
Because you told me not to and you got no right to tell me what to do! Have you?!
Have you? Come on, admit it!
You've got no right to tell anyone what to do!
Hi Sir, how are you?
you do not have the right to tell normal people walking pass what to film, do you?
hi, how is it going?
Was he attacking you?
Ne. but he was shouting at me, I was across the street. I have been walking around London
I'm filming for my protection, for evidence
walking around, my dad used to work for shell
my dad is a harbour pilot, he used to pack ships for shell in japan
I got my camera out, and thought, Oh this the shell headquarters
This man, you, started to tell what to do
I am a normal human being in a public area, I can film any building I want
He threatened me with police!
Do you realize how annoying it is to be told what to do by
someone... a little jumped up security officer in a fluorescent jacket
He was abusive to me! He was abusive to me.
He scorned me twice. I've got everything on video
The thing is... he threatened me with arrest!
Did he called someone?
No, this was just 10 minutes ago. But... he threatened me with arrest.
Anyway, this is going to be on Youtube. Because I have a Youtube-Channel.
Maybe you should retrain your stuff, not to shout at people across the street,
telling them what to do!
Then why are you shouting at me?
No, no, I'm actually... Ok, I have to apologize, I'm actually quite worked up
I'm worked up... I'm not shouting at you
He didn't came over and asked me. He came over and told me
that you are not allowed to film this building
I'm just one of these human beings, I don't want to be told what I'm not allowed to do
Of course I will do it, if I know that I'm not breaking the law
We are in a public area. If you want to explain me that officially? No?
Why not?
Your staff, that you are defending, just told me that I'm not allowed to do something
Oh!!! Am I allowed to do it now?! Am I allowed to film the building now?!
Are you going to still tell me what to do?
You jumped up little security guard, trying to tell human beings what to do in a public area
At least my salary isn't paid by an oil company!
anyway, good day to all of you
It’s sad to think that these people, policeman, really want to do justice, to help people,
but unfortunately they never think about what laws actually are,
why should police enforce them or who gives them orders.
People wants to do things right, but they are misdirected.
Weapons, army and policeman maintain an established society.
So how can they work for people?
[ Alternative Solutions ]
Weapons, army and policeman maintain an established society.
So, this is against progress and evolution.
As there are no bad people with bad intentions,
but only a harmful environment that pushes people towards such behavior,
these organizations no longer have any purpose in an environment that caters for everyone.
Some people, and organizations, that want to make so-called justice
should promote a system that advocates equality between people,
a system based on planetary resources,
a system where goods and services are abundant,
a system based on proper education and free access to any information,
because in such a system justice is it’s foundation.
In order to achieve these goals
such an organization must be armed with the ability to solve problems.
So, there would be no need for weapons.
A society based on planetary resources, where goods and services are abundant,
leads directly to a more free and equal society.
There would be no need for police, army or weapons in such a society.
In a society of educated people with no reason to commit any crime,
for what would we need the police?
Who would join an army? Who would animate the weapons?
So, the solutions would be proper education and abundance,
leading to weapons(army or police) being unnecessary,
but such a society is not compatible with the monetary system
To the extent that we raise our children with artificial values, that will produce harm in the future.
You think they're only children. "I don't think its that necessary.."
War, guns, possession of guns are partly nurtured by our culture.
And guns give people a sense of power.
A false sense of power.
Real sense of power is delivery of information that's relevant to people.
Of course you don't sense it right away.
You don't feel a glorious feeling doing that.
But really, it's a long term investment.
And all short term investments may appear to solve problems. But they only perpetuate problems into the future.
With so many scientific discoveries
it's amazing that people do not still realize
that they are all from the same species
and that they all live on the same planet.
Remembering the vast universe and what is a human being,
it's sad that it takes a conflict within this species,
the only one capable(from what we know so far), to understand the universe.
This conflict can be understood today through environmental influence,
the way people learn(through imitation), obedience to authority etc...
Study after study showing this should help in resolving these conflicts, but they don’t.
