LEFT FEET, ONE TONGUE, SKY-KRAK & SKIP:
Draft of a World Political Program
By Hal Womack
Peace Now
And forevermore among
The nations, breeds and classes;
While all night long
War the lads and the lasses !
Pray entertain a scheme to make the Universe laugh with us.
Considering how many loaded missiles, empty bellies, muddled heads, wicked
officials & dead babies we have around today, anybody can see that this
will be a neat trick. I propose to begin by developing a clear,
comprehensive vision of how best to reform the government of the United
States. Let us take four ancient concepts and apply them to the
transformation of present reality:
1. Justice = Left Feet
We, the American people, should arrest Mr. George Bush, President
'Crime Bill' Clinton and their chief accomplices on capital charges
arising from their various misdeeds in Central America; the Middle East;
Somalia; Ruby Ridge, Idaho and McClennan County, Texas. Please note that
their murders number roughly 500,000 and 2,000 respectively, the incumbent
Democrat being about 250 times better than the defeated Republican and
OTOH about 100 times worse than the bloodiest killer on Death Row. AFTOC*
[* after a fair trial, of course] we should then hang the forty-first and
the forty-second Presidents by their left feet until they holler for the
mercy which they have in their time denied to their victims. Then, for
their own good, we will take them to the 'shit pit,' a place of
confinement resembling the notorious 'tiger cages' for political prisoners
on Con Son Island in Viet Nam which Brown & Root Construction Company built
for the former puppet regime in Saigon. There the friends and relatives of
the fallen can assemble to vent their anger through the bars on the
malefactors held below. Throughout each visiting day the prisoners will be
able to use showers to wash off the physical expressions of popular
contempt and thereby to maintain their hygiene. By allowing the naturally
immense accumulated rage to express itself freely, we dissipate it more
quickly. Thus this approach reflects our compassion for the convicted.
When folks stop coming to piss on them we will know that the hour nears
in which we can safely return them to society.
I have in mind for each of the felons prior to his [or her]
release to adopt the name of one of his victims of the opposite sex. For
example, George Bush may come to be called 'Celina Mariset Ramos' after
the 15 year-old daughter of the cook for the Rev. Ignacio Ellacuria, S.J.,
the rector of the Central American University in San Salvador whom Bush's
gunmen shot down around Thanksgiving Day in 1989. Bill Clinton may wind up
with the name of Leyla al-Attar, the noted Iraqi painter whom he wantonly
blew up with a U.S. Navy rocket as she was sleeping with her husband in
her own home in Baghdad in June of 1993. Janet Reno may become 'David
Koresh.' General Westmoreland & William Colby will have about a million
Vietnamese names to choose from, Abe Rosenthal of the New York TIMES, whom
I charge under the Nuremburg Doctrine with incitement to aggressive war,
will have many Arab ones, and so on. As the new government, we will aim at
helping these prisoners to achieve rehabilitation through sincere remorse.
This applies to side-kicks as well as to principals; for example, in the
'80's David Rockefeller, Ph.D. went out of his way personally to lead a
propaganda organization supporting President Reagan's policy of butchering
babies in El Salvador. {For details about the latter, see THE MASSACRE AT
EL MOZOTE by Mark Danner, 1994.'The check, sir ?'}
Thoroughness will require the investigation of atrocities
at least as far back as the Korean War. The base year = 1945, when the
victorious Allies formulated the Nuremburg doctrine. *Ex post facto* as
far as the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese commanders were concerned, it
certainly does bind us, as Justice Jackson explicitly declared at the
time.
How do you feel about these JASPers* [Jews & Anglo-Saxon
Protestants] who have murdered by the millions, by the hundreds of
thousands and by the thousands ? Are you afraid that they be too big to
bring down ? Does the old Roman maxim 'Fiat justitia, ruat coelum'* [*Do
justice though the sky should fall] make you want to duck ? Does craven,
cowardly fear lead the Libertarian Party to ignore these makers of
mountains of corpses and to quack that the leading cause of violence in
the U.S. = 'welfare' ? I personally have a regionally famous record for a
resolute response to street crime. Thinking about the problem from the POV
[point of view] of law and policy leads to the conclusion that in order to
achieve success we must take the simple way by starting at the top,
busting first the biggest criminals, so setting a good example and
earning popular respect. Do you hear the trumpet sound the fulfillment of
the old prophecies of a Last Judgment of civilization ? This crucial act
of courage will prepare us to face the sacred task of unifying of the
human race under one government.
ABC = Arrest Bush & Clinton !
Mercy to all criminals !
2. Peace = One Tongue
Once we have in place honest leaders with clean hands we can shake
with the rest of the world in order to transform our species into our
third age of existence, the first having been the tribe. In this way we
will solve what over the centuries has been known in western philosophy as
'the problem of evil.' As in our evolving vehicles we explore infinity
throughout eternity we will enjoy the confidence of being the baddest
things out there because any creatures even a cock-hair worse than us
would certainly have destroyed themselves out of sheer excess of bottled
scorpio. We know this for sure because we have been and, despite Comrade
Gorbachev's great gift of a reprieve, still remain that close to omnicide
ourselves. TIME magazine's monster-faced cover story this week*
[*8/29/'94] cries up the supposed menace of small-time bandits stealing a
few pounds of plutonium. The current explosive power of the American and
the Russian arsenals still suffices to blow up the world how many times ?
Whose bloody fingers hover above these buttons ? Our guy burned down a
churchful of women and children in order to keep them from embarrassing
him by getting to court in one piece. Having grown fangs in office in that
fashion, he then cheered on the Russians' guy to burn down his brand-new
parliament with the deputies still inside, a case of bar-b-q greeting
piroshki. Given this environment and a certain degree of strategic acumen,
we can regard the subsequent tribal slaughter in Rwanda as the planet's
most sophisticated anti-missile defense system. Hardly worth aiming at
those fellows even were the balloon to go up, right ? From the POV of the
panicky nuclear command bunkers and subs --remember them ?-- though,
everybody else might be a necessary target because were the mad anti-elite
to leave any significant national power intact they would be inviting
certain revenge. Do you doubt that the Pentagon thinks like this? Can you
face the challenge of the rocket scientists ?
Who wants to break out of this deformed mind-set so that we can
arrange to send our children to fine flings all over the globe? In order
to do this we will begin by taking emergency relief measures and then move
to establish a new international equilibrium. I raised the question of
constituting a planetary democracy in the early 'Eighties, well before
George Bush stole the 'New World Order' phrase from the coffin of Paul
Joseph Goebbels. Those who want to break on through to the future outside
of the egg shell are gaining the upper hand, even as I write, over those
who hope to keep on creeping around forever in the shadow of the
thermonuclear hegemony of the New York TIMES . When Joseph Stalin still
ruled Russia and I was just learning to walk, conservative Republicans
derided this kind of talk as 'globaloney;' by now they've mostly died off.
Who has the heart boldly to lead the Six Billion into the Milky Way ?
Someone, perhaps, who has grown up playing in the garden of our redeemed
Home Planet. In the Net we have found the House of the Parliament of
Earth. Nation-states and their wars have become obsolete. By clinging to
the stinking skirts of a repressive clique we would continue needlessly to
endanger Life Herself and to waste our precious blood. We struggle now to
see who will shape the new and eternal species. Away with these armies,
prisons & secret police, let us sing the creation of a vibrant, harmonious
humanity !
By and by, when things have settled down and we have had a
chance to catch our breath, we will want solemnly and officially to
select our common language. For secular, mythic purposes I intend to
vote on the first ballot for Vietnamese written in a modified Arabic
script. However, even at my advanced age of more than fifty by that
time, I will be plumb tickled to learn a few words of whichever
*sprache* wins the count.
One voice, one vote, one world, one law !
Win the human race for space !
Save the Earth, go to Heaven !
Trip out !
3. Freedom = Sky-krak
Last weekend my ad hoc youth review board endorsed a proposal
favoring the development of an athletic competition in the original
Olympic uniforms* [*hence, 'skyclad'] featuring a handrace with the
provision that the sponsors offer as one prize to the winners 16 years and
older a choice between a gram of rock or its street cash value less 15%.
By this exercise for the benefit of the nation's younguns will rip off the
mask of the big lie that cocaine causes rolling Darktown target practice.
We intend ignominiously to abolish the curiously named Drug Enforcement
Administration ['Today, boys & girls, just say Prozac'] and to break the
money pot of the monopoly pill pushers of the American Pharmaceutical
Manufacturers' Association. Another way to look at the WOSD: The pillhead
D.A.R.E. zombies, howling inside their chemically contaminated skulls, are
torturing the cognoscenti in order to force us to reveal to them the
terrible joy of the of the old souls' knowledge of the secrets of the
strong medicines. The wise woman recognizes the gifts from Mother
Nature's garden. The fool who thinks that he can legalize sunshine does
better than the one who believes that he has 'criminalized' it. The moment
beeps for us to kick open the rotten door of the prison of neo-prohibition
and to set free our 300,000 wrongfully incarcerated brothers and sisters.
FODD = freedom of diet & dress
$100KPY = the rate of compensation for time served under WOSD*
* = the war on some drugs
MEDUSA = the monopoly propaganda MEDia of the U.S.A.
Sepo = the secret police
Gemini = MEDUSA & sepo
4. The Social Kontract for Industrial Polyfrica { SKIP }
Inspired by the natural beauty of Polynesia and of Africa, we will
construct a mixed political economy for the purpose of creating all over
the Third World from the Sun the appropriate environmental variations. Sweet
water polo, for example, refers to the architectural goal of making it as
easy to play that game purely without chlorine as it is now to walk into a
bar and buy a drink. SKIP's basic premise = The civil service will
guarantee a fair share of productive labor at a decent wage* to every
able-bodied, willing adult [*sufficient to support a family with a modest
budget for entertainment and vacation]. We will set the standard work week
as high as 25 hours in order to produce a suitable surplus for investment
in our supreme project of space exploration and colonization. Attractive
opportunity added to the point of social order first discussed will make
it possible for the richest woman in the world to walk alone safely down
Mean Street in Anytown in the wee hours. That we favor the energetic
development of private enterprise and of free markets in their proper
contexts goes almost without saying.
Mothers' Pay: The government will p. all m. a regular salary
for raising at least their first two children up to school age.
Elders' Honors: A universal pension for the e. and the disabled
[we can cure malingering].
Students' Stipend: A universal allowance sufficient for living
expenses and tuition, paid for four years after finishing high school.
Public health emergency: Fidel's Cuba, whatever its other crises,
provides the best model for defeating the AIDS plague. Time to dust
off another Roman maxim which says that the health of the people = the
supreme law
SALUS POPULI, LEX SUPREMA.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will the Heaven & Earth Planetary Party serve to celebrate
the accomplishment of these objectives ? And, meanwhile, Third World
War Parties to build the movement ?
Personnel: With respect to the old stock U.S. breeds,
the complexion of the Party should mirror that of our current prison
population, a socially revolutionary policy.
In order to profit from the exceedingly costly lessons of the
Russian Revolution, I factor Isaac Deutscher's standard works
by the little-known book by Hillaire Belloc THE JEWS [1922]. We should
closely examine and diligently publish the national, family and religious
backgrounds of the leaders.
Heed the voice of the great spirit,
Enforce cosmic law,
Respect real authority and
Observe the hierarchies !
Will we dance ?
