Jesus Was A Tree Hugger Too

Whenever BP, or any other major establishment, such as insurance companies and drug manufactures, comes across a group of people, who speaks the truth, they shut them down by making them sound like a bunch of radicals, hippies and tree huggers. Or even terrorist, with some hidden agenda to overthrow the government. And these accusers, often hide behind a cross to make themselves appear to be righteous and beyond approach. But you know, Jesus was a tree hugger too.

Jesus had long hair, wore sandals, often spoke of love and peace, fished, hiked, and he pissed off the establishment (the Jewish High Priest) often. They eventually killed him, when they noticed Jesus, a Jew himself, was getting a little too popular. You could say, they labeled him a terrorist. The people who crucified him are the same kind of people that hide behind the cross today; the same evil hypocrites. I don't normally like to use the word evil, but how else can you describe these power hungry personalities that put money above life?

I have seen what BP has done to the Gulf Coast. I see the million dollar commercials they are airing, telling you all up North that the oil is gone, and it's safe to swim off our shores. It's not true. The oil is still here. I live here, and I have no reason to lie to you; I have nothing at stake, except pissing a bunch of money hungry people off, like the CEO's of the corporations, who own the hotels in the area (including Jimmy Fn' Buffett). Anyone who says it's safe for your children to be on the beaches in this area are not friends of Jesus. They're more concerned with what's in their wallet, than they are for you and your family.

I'm not the only one posting blogs, and photos, and videos. Put "BP oil spill" into any search engine (youtube for sure), and you'll see for yourself. Mississippi has got to be the worse, and the state line is only about an hours drive from here (Pensacola). They have dead dolphins and sea birds washing up daily. And it smells rank. None of us want to be burdened with the responsibility of tracking this sad mess. But the media isn't informing you of the dangers. So we sacrifice our health and well being with the hope of by keeping America informed, we can force BP to fix what they made wrong. And possibly stop this runaway madness for oil.

So call me a tree hugger or what you will. But I stand in front of that cross, not behind it.

The Crude Oil Adventure of the Human Re-Evolution

I recently wrote a short story regarding the BP Oil Spill, and how it has affected Pensacola Beach in particular.  As well as the morality of it all.  This past summer, after grieving for a year, I realized that sometimes bad things have to happen in order for there to be a greater good.  It's tragedies like 9/11, and the BP Oil Spill that deeply touches our hearts and motivates change in humanity as a whole.  With the year 2012 upon us, and the threat of mankind destroying itself, the book also addresses the spiritual evolution of the human condition, which will save us from destruction. 

Not only does my book include a historical account of the spill in regards to Pensacola Beach, but it's an inspirational piece as well.  It's also a story about nature and learning to heal ourselves as well as the planet.  It's not too late.  It is as easy as learning to control and direct our thoughts.  It's learning to believe in ourselves, and in others.

Leonard Peltier & The Gulf Coast Warriors

You know Leonard Peltier’s story is kind of similar to the oil struggle along the Gulf Coast. I am member of a few facebook communities that consist mostly of Gulf Coast residents who report and share information regarding BP and the oil spill. Some of these individuals, whom I consider leaders of the struggle, are very outspoken about how they feel regarding the mess that BP has left us with. Some are even willing to give up their freedom, in defense of their land and their families. With this in mind, I would like to share with you Leonard’s story.

In 1973 murder ran rapid on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, in South Dakota. It was the “Corporations,” like the strip miners after uranium reserves, who divided the people on the reservation with the promise of money and jobs. Kind of like the way the oil and gas companies took advantage of the three poorest states in the South (Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama). One of these corporations called, The Tennessee Valley Authority, was government owned. Considering our government has never honored a treaty made with Native American’s, it’s kind of insulting when the FBI starts showing up on the reservation unannounced, whenever the hell they pleased. And they weren’t there to help the Indians.

Sixty people were murdered violently on this small reservation within three years. On one occasion, the FBI coroner concluded that two Native victims had committed suicide by stabbing their selves in the face repeatedly. “Hmmmm.. . . . I always said, if I was going to commit suicide, it’s gonna be a knife to the face . . . repeatedly” Yeah right! Give me a break.

So the Indians, who own the reservation (the land), and who are to be considered a sovereign nation, decide to ask the American Indian Movement (AIM) for some protection. We’re talking about protecting the women and children, and the elderly. So a young, 29 year old, Leonard Peltier, an Ojibwa French Sioux Indian, volunteered to sit with these families, in their homes, and protect them. He’s not like standing at the entrance of the res, waiving a gun and waiting to blow away people who approach the boundary line. He’s no different than those of us who wish to protect our families and our land from the oil companies.

So one sunny day, Leonard’s out on this ranch, on the res, and he’s kicking it in a tent, when he hears gunshots. No one knows who started shooting first, or why the shooting began. But two FBI agents were killed. This pissed the FBI off. And the real kick in the ass was the fact that a whole gang of them Indians got away. Including Leonard Peltier.

From that point on, it’s been proven that the FBI fabricated evidence, hid evidence, and intimidated witnesses, without any regard to Mr. Peltier’s rights as a U.S. citizen. Even admitting that they (the FBI) don’t know who killed their agents. Leonard Peltier has been a prisoner of the United States for over thirty-five years now. Even though historically he’s been a model prisoner, he’s been denied parole twice.

“Silence they say, is the voice of complicity. But silence is impossible. Silence screams. Silence is a message, just as doing nothing is an act. Let who you are ring out and resonate in every word & every deed. Yes, become who you are. There’s no sidestepping your own being or your own responsibility. What you do is who you are. You are your own comeuppance. You become your own message. You are the message." - Leonard Peltier

And the reason I share this story with you today is because this man is just like one of us. One facebook group I belong to is in part called the Gulf Coast Warriors. Leonard is a warrior too; a man of honor and truth. His fight is the same as our fight - what landed him in prison is the same corporate greed protected by the same corrupt government that we are fighting today. Only the names have changed.  Because there is approximately two thousand of usook groups that I am posting this blog to, I’m asking you to spread the word and join the existing worldwide support to help Leonard Peltier break free of that prison.
