Media Coverage of May Day Protests illustrates Bias I don’t watch much television. But last night while attempting to watch the news I got stuck watching Channel 7’s coverage of Seattle’s May Day protests. It was obvious that their comments were scripted by those who support the empire as it is. They kept calling the protesters “anarchists”. That’s just flat out misleading. An “anarchist” is  a noun defined as: 1. a person who advocates or believes in anarchy or anarchism. 2. a person who seeks to overturn by violence all constituted forms and institutions of society and government, with no purpose of establishing any other system of order in the place of that destroyed. 3. a person who promotes disorder or excites revolt against any established rule, law, or custom. To protest a corrupt government that evicts millions of vulnerable people to die in the streets, incarcerates innocent people who have not committed a crime solely for purposes of keeping private prisons full pursuant to the terms of government contracts, and perpetuation of a pharmaceutical system developed to keep people sick does not mean you are an anarchist. It more likely means these people want a better government; not that they are against all government. Most of us so-called “anarchists” want governments that are more local in nature and provide a meaningful link between those who are elected to represent us. We do not want the Republican and Democratic parties filtering our access to our elected representatives. Ironically, the media has become an … Continue Reading

Reaching Planetary Consensus.

Reaching Planetary Consensus. A facebook friend, who appears to share many of the views I do, posted the following quote and picture: “Religion is regarded by the common people as true,by the wise as false,and by the rulers as useful”~Seneca There are many “religions.” Many sects of religions. I do not believe wisdom teaches us that they are false. They are one, of many modalities, by which communities (local, national, and planetary) reach consensus. In this regard, religions are not much different than nations, political parties, clubs, generations, and other peer groups. It is true that rulers find promoting differences between us as being in their own best interests because this keeps us, the people, divided… It stops us from focusing on them and their obscene greed as being the root cause of society’s problems. I am not a religious scholar. But I do know that religions are not the problem… They did not bring on the bankcrime or leaderscum which has left so many of us hopeless and without resources. We need to unite those local gardens of creative and spiritual consensus, which already exist, so that their members can do the the work in their community necessary to remove those who always put their own good ahead of what is most beneficial for the whole. If you doubt the moral similarities among religions (and there is no reason why you should not) then read a little about them. There is not one that exalts the money lenders our governments prostitute us … Continue Reading

Why I became a Libertarian in 2016.

  Why I became a Libertarian in 2016. I believe:  “[a]ll political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights.” Individual rights are those which are bestowed on each of us by our creator, not privileges the government can franchise to corporations to sell to us for their own benefit. We, as people, have traveled the path of civilization to a point where freedom and economic wealth have become an intersection where most us must stop because we do not have the economic resources to exercise our most basic liberties. As a Libertarian I object to the government becoming an ally of the rich in enslaving people to debt which makes it impossible to exercise their freedoms. When our country was founded capitalism provided an adequate mechanism for most people to accumulate sufficient economic resources to enable them to exercise their personal liberties. Today, the crony capitalism promoted by the republican and democratic parties has created such disparity of wealth that only a few have access to those fundamental freedoms our forefathers took for granted. I cannot continue to support the two party tyranny which has created the greatest system of injustice the world has ever seen. No longer do we engage in debate over entitlement programs; we simply evict our vulnerable and let them die unknown on our streets. Of course, there are several third parties out there I could have … Continue Reading

LOVE is the universal force

LOVE is the universal force. I like social media because it helps me learn. That does not mean I accept everything I read there as being true. For example, I frequently see quotes attributed to people whom I presume never spoke or wrote them. This does not detract from my appreciation of the quote itself. This is the situation with the following letter purportedly written by Albert Einstein to a daughter. While it would be nice to believe that Einstein wrote this (given that his theories are being proved correct all the time) ot os not necessary for him to be the author in order for the message to be worth reflecting upon. So according to a Facebook post this is a letter, recently made public, that Albert Einstein wrote to his daughter, Lieseral: According to the post: In the late 1980s, Lieserl, the daughter of the famous genius, donated 1,400 letters, written by Einstein, to the Hebrew University, with orders not to publish their contents until two decades after his death. This is one of them, for Lieserl Einstein. [The letter reads:] “When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world. I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below. There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science … Continue Reading

Happy New Year! Will we make 2016 be a year of change?

  January 1, 2016 Bankers, church, Democratic Party, democrats, devout, economic disparity, Faith, Government, homelessness, judicial department, Judicial Watch, Justice, spiritual, spiritual movement, Washington State, wisdom

Happy New Year… WOW!!! 2015 has been quite the year. Can’t say I am sorry to see it end. My heart yearns for the hope that comes with a new beginning. January 1, 2016 is a beautiful day here in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Washington, State. It is chilly, but sunny. The sky is clear so I can see for miles. Of course, the beginning of a new year does not not erase history or the momentum of those events still in motion. But for as long as I can remember it has caused people to reflect about changes they want to make in their own lives. The lessons of the past are legion. But perhaps none is more significant than the impact of the power we have given a small number of people over the wellbeing of humanity. Doesn’t it seem to you that far too many of us are imprisoned by the chains of debt that will never be cancelled?  Does it make sense that we have allowed the pursuit of money to be the only purpose which will guarantee a person’s survival? Plants grow toward the sun in heaven. Has money become humanity’s sun? So what should be our collective New Year’s resolutions for 2016? Should we resolve to move toward ending the empire’s two party political system because it has failed to deliver that which it has promised us? Should we explore concepts of spirituality as a means of effecting political and economic … Continue Reading

Spiritual Warfare, December 25, 2015

Spiritual Warfare, December 25, 2015 Yesterday’s blog, The Eve of Spiritual Justice, reflected my judgments and beliefs. In this regard, I recognize, that it can be challenged. Indeed, one of those people I often turn to for criticism of my thoughts, emailed me back after reading it: Hi Scott: Strong, obviously “reaching conclusions.”  If you have facts to support in the blog then you surely have the right to state what those add up to.  If you are only presenting the conclusions – sort of like one of Shelley’s pro se pleadings – then you are overstepping, in my view, and you would do much better (and be more persuasive) to put the statements into questions, eliciting the reader to answer for themselves.  Then it’s their conclusion, not yours.   JUST GOT EMAIL FOR CHURCH SERVICE – I’M TO BE THERE AT 4:20 MUST GO – WILL LOOK AT THIS FURTHER LATER IF YOU WISH – SOME COMMENT BELOW   In a message dated 12/24/2015 2:24:31 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, scott@stafnelawfirm.com writes: The eve of spiritual justice is upon us. Is the eve of spirtual justice upon us? We, as a people, have reached a spiritual consensus that governments have failed to promote humanity’s best interests . Has coming to a spiritual consensus by “we the people” reached the tipping point – that governments have failed to promote humanity’s best interests .

The Eve of Spiritual Justice

  December 24, 2015 church, courts, economic disparity, evil, Faith, homelessness, Justice, News Articles, Opinions, spiritual, spiritual movement, wisdom

The eve of spiritual justice is upon us. We, as a people, have reached a spiritual consensus that governments have failed to promote humanity’s best interests . We intuit as a matter of our collective consciousness the governmental corruption that denigrates our value as people and seeks to enslave us to debt. We know instinctively that now is the time for a spiritual awakening to reassess our leaders’ priorities; which appear to be only that greed which will sustain their power over the rest us. Everyone — from the rich to the poor; from the professional to the soldier — is aware of the evil which makes money, alone, a prerequisite  to the exercise of our natural rights. There is a stench in the air, which we all smell and want to go away. It is worse than the smell of rotting flesh because it emanates from a rotting world that too few have controlled for too long. We are on the eve of change. Spiritual justice is now obtainable if we decide to create it.

Thanksgiving, 2015

  November 26, 2015 church, Faith, Justice, Opinions

Thanksgiving, 2015 Sometimes it is difficult to write these blogs. Today is one of them. The problem is that Thanksgiving is supposed to be about gratitude. And many of us — the homeless or those faced with homelessness, the starving or hungry, and the lonely or alone– look at our own lives and feel despair. Too many looking at the world through their own eyes legitimately ask “what have I got to be grateful about?” Last week a close friend and I discussed whether he should commit suicide. My friend explained he couldn’t envision a future that he wanted; a world that would get better to a point where he could again experience the joy and passion, which he had long been known for. I mostly listened. I told him moods change. I suggested he keep a journal for a week and revisit the issue after that. The next morning I called a pastor friend and we prayed the depression which held him would be lifted. Thankfully, it worked. My friend continues to journal. Truth be told, a few days before this discussion I also struggled with similar thoughts. But I had trouble with the concept of taking my own life rather than those of the elites which had created the conditions of despair for most of the world’s peoples. It wasn’t so much that I was afraid to die. It was that I knew that my dying would only serve their evil goals and their conquest of our world would continue … Continue Reading

The Church Was Crowded

My friend DiAnna Baker Malone gave my words a face, that I want to share…   The Church Was Crowded November 12, 2015   That astrophysicist sleeping on the church floor once had two Maseratis and four houses…   The lawyer twitching next to him was rated a super lawyer from 1997 through 2003…   The 70 year old widow of the newspaper owner was shivering on the church step just outside the main entrance…   Even now, even here there was an order to things…   Many who had slept here before now rested in wooden boxes below the ground or had become part of the air we breathe after they were cremated by the empire.   

“Evil cannot be made into good. It is time to end the two party political system”, June 18, 2015

  June 18, 2015 church, Democratic Party, devout, evil, Faith, Republican Party, spiritual, spiritual movement, two party political system

So I was on facebook this morning and I shared this picture. An apparently well intentioned member of the democratic party posted the following comment: “Better STOP hating and start being POSITIVE. Saying that neither the Demo nor the GOP can do anything for you, you are setting yourself to FAIL!!! Starting over from scratch is a lot harder than working from within!!!!” I responded: “David, I appreciate your comments. But I have heard them many times before in the 66 years of my existence. Wisdom instructs that working within the system for change has not worked. Continually voting for the lesser of two evils will always result in more evil.You may not appreciate this until you have observed the growth of evil over the course of a lifetime. I am now convinced we, the people, must with a devout and spiritual intention take back the reins of sovereignty from a system which exercises it only to benefit the 1%. We must weed both the Republican and Democratic parties from the garden of government so that we can nourish leaders who share goals of the people; not the goals of an out of hand empire which already has 6 1/2 times the military might of the rest rest of the world combined and still wants to spend virtually all of the people’s money on building a bigger and better war machine (rather than feeding and educating its people). David, my motivation is not hate (although I do feel anger and … Continue Reading
