mammon's empire

Jesus, friends, was not a capitalist.

Jesus was opposed to lending money at interest and raged against the moneylenders in the temple. He  was arrested within 24 hours, if that tells you anything about the influence bankers have on cops.

Jesus preached against capitalism and was killed by those capitalists who foresaw that his success would destroy their elite status at the top of the pyramid.

Point of fact is, Jesus tells us to give up our things. This is not advice that America's consumer society wants to hear, and its certainly not the message that America's Christian hypocrites popularize. Jesus specifically denounced consumer capitalism. In order to work, capitalism requires us to constantly acquire more things. And Jesus told us to stop acquiring more things - Jesus told us to give them up entirely.

When Jesus said that man cannot serve two masters, that man cannot serve both God and mammon, Jesus was pointing out that we cannot serve God which is love while at the same time serving consumer capitalism, which is greed. The two are irreconcilable.

It is the aspect of consumerism that runs in contradiction with the teachings of Jesus - think of the Amish, who don't run around handing out pamphlets on socialism or anything. They make good furniture, and sell it for profit, which sounds like good business to me, and probably Jesus, too. Point is, they're not consumer capitalists. They don't bow down to mammon. We don't have to, either, although if we stop living as consumer capitalists consumer capitalism will fall apart, and the people who own the media and the corporations and the politicians certainly don't want that to happen. So they keep us from learning the truth, even the truth of why Jesus died, and who was responsible.

We can be consumer capitalists, or we can be Christians, but we cannot be both. Jesus condemned consumer capitalism and was consequently murdered by the prominent bankers and politicians who saw that his success would lead to their demise.


Capitalism requires a return on an investment. Love requires nothing in return. If we invest ourselves in order to get something in return, we may be good capitalists but we are not ushering in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Specifically, when asked how to pray, Jesus said, pray like this: Forgive us our debts, as we forgive those who debt against us. That doesn't sound like capitalism to me, does it? In fact, if Christians mean what they say when they pray, we are praying for the demise of Capitalism every time we utter the Lord's prayer. Debt forgiveness cannot coexist with home mortgage foreclosures, people. And guess which side God is on?

Christians have a moral responsibility to forgive all debts, sign on to the debtors union, abandon the capitalist propaganda of consumerism and invest in ecological rehabilitation. Sounds like somebody has a hard sell, doesn't it? The good news is, Christians, being Christians, will eventually align themselves with the truth, and are destined to mean what they say when they pray for debt forgiveness. This is actually prophesied to take place, and Christian ecological investment is the impetus behind the birth of Heaven on Earth.


The Kingdom of Heaven isn't communist, and its not capitalist, either. The Kingdom of Heaven is love, and love expects nothing in return. The Kingdom of Heaven loves the way the sun shines on the earth. Not once has the sun ever said to the earth, 'what have you done for me?' The sun simply shines, as love gives without needing to receive.

We have become a society of intelligent investors, proud of our rational self-interest. which is another way of saying that we have forgotten how to love. In order to love, in order to usher in the Kingdom of Heaven, we must change our ways, and we must begin by changing our minds. We must choose between capitalism and the Kingdom of Heaven. We must choose between God and mammon.

The Kingdom of Heaven requires sacrifice. We cannot get a good return on our investment and still love. We must give up all returns, and we must invest without getting a return, in order to be loving. We must sacrifice our rational self-interest. In our corrupt world, which has placed rational self-interest on an altar and now worships this false god called capitalism, we must face persecution as we denounce the greed and the selfishness and the egotism that are natural consequences of rational self-interest. We must abandon rational self-interest, and must embrace irrational, self-sacrificing love if we are to usher in the Kingdom of Heaven. And if Christians are unified in the praying of the Lord's Prayer as taught to us by Jesus Christ then we must forgive debts, give up entirely the acquisition of things, and learn how to love.

For many of us, indeed for most of us, we must learn how to love for the first time. Native english speaking Americans have been raised on capitalism, which DOES NOT FORGIVE DEBTS. we have been conditioned since birth and before to be unloving. Consequently, we live in a society filled with highly sophisticated investors and broken families and a dying, corrupt and bloated empire. And we do not understand why all of our intelligent investing has left us with unhappiness and a pain in our hearts which we cover up with stimulants, anti-depressants, technology, distractions, business, shallowness, and violence. We, the American investing public, must learn how to love from the very cultures and races that we have violently oppressed, who have never forgotten how to love and thus consequently never been that great at capitalism.

The damage that has been done is so great that there would be no forgiveness available to us if Jesus Christ had not already established the universal precedent of unconditional forgiveness through his willing sacrifice of self on the cross. When the King forgave his people, the Jews, the master race, the chosen people of God, the bankers and the investors who heartlessly enslaved an entire planet to a financial system that refuses to forgive debts, Jesus established a precedent that all citizens of the world are now able follow as we see through the illusion of capitalism to the truth of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The salvation of the world does not lay with capitalism. The salvation of the world lies in the abandonment of capitalism. Jesus Christ preached this 2000 years ago and capitalists murdered him. He knew he was before his time, he knew he would not be understood until now. He was merely establishing a precedent that would, over the next millenia, become globally appreciated and revered. Not merely though ultimate sacrifice but through ultimate unconditional forgiveness and ultimate unconditional love.

Christians cannot be consumer capitalists, and consumer capitalists cannot be Christians. If we are to follow the teachings of Jesus we must forgive all debts, and this leads inevitably to the downfall of capitalism, which opens the way for the abandonment of rational self-interest in favor of unconditional love. As a capitalist society, we have no concept of what it is like to live with open and loving hearts - we have been conditioned to be rationally self-interested. As humans made in God's image, of course we know what it's like to love, and we are sick at heart because we have built a society that thwarts our deepest need. As long as the economic premise of rational self-interest remains unchallenged, we resign ourselves to a life of suffering in mammon's empire.

We must overcome our selfish conditioning, and we must forgive ourselves, and we must allow those cultures and peoples who are not inherently conditioned capitalists to show us how to love. We must empower those we have enslaved to step forward and lead the way. This is merely the beginning of a lifetime of atonement, this renouncing of capitalism. To be fully Christian, we must empower the last to become first and the first to become last...

spear in Jesus side

Christianity has become the spear in Jesus' side.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

Teach a man to get a job in order to buy fish, and enslave him, and his children, and his children's children...

the Kingdom of Heaven does not require us to create more jobs. the Kingdom of Heaven requires us to learn how to eat food without buying food

The Kingdom of Heaven is bad for the economy - the capitalist economy. The Kingdom of Heaven is the eco-economy - maybe we can invent the word ecologics. Which sounds stupid, so maybe we can call it ecologistics. Ecologistics is sustainable economics. the intelligent distribution of natural resources intended to maximize both present output and future output. All economics is based on input from nature - natural resources. We must output to nature if we are to be economically sustainable.

Jah Ministries and the Church of Ras Tafari

We begin with the teachings of Jesus and the parable of the Good Samaritan. Christianity is not based on what we say, but what we do. If we talk the talk without walking the walk, we are hypocrites. Jesus pointed that out often. if we walk the walk without talking the talk, we are neighbors, upholding Jesus' teachings.

We must act. We must act. The teachings of Jesus are interreligious, transcending denominations. What do we do?

The secret teaching of Jesus begins like this: if you feed them, they will come. Consequently, we start with a nondenominational soup kitchen that provides shelter, warmth, and a place to belong.

Jesus continues to teach: if you provide them with spiritual music, they will sing and dance and praise God. So our soup kitchen must travel with musicians. Our soup kitchen must be composed of musicians.

Step three: if you teach them how to fish, they will eat for a lifetime. The soup kitchen must teach how to run and maintain soup kitchens, from organic and local food production to sustainable harvesting to delivery and hygienic consumption to redistribution of compost, leaving no trace. This is a basic hands-on permaculture school, with skills that must be learned in order to be taught. And above all, it must be FUN. Hence, the music festival...

step four: we must fulfill the Word of the Lord's Prayer as taught by Jesus when he said, "forgive us our debts, as we also forgive those who debt against us." This is the forgiveness of debt, which will necessarily crash the stock market and reinvent economics as we know it. It is a Christian imperative to forge a debtor's union in order to usher in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Step five: we must create what has been destroyed. In forgiving debt, the petro-economy collapses. This is ecologically imperative, and yet if we are to usher in the Kingdom of Heaven we must actively create an economy that is aligned with the principles of nature and provides for the welfare and happiness of all beings. What we must create and propagate is the Green Economy - an ecologically aligned economy that utilizes natural resources without exploiting them and produces as an end product raw material for the creation of more natural resources - compost, for example, or water.

The green economy is not backed by petroleum. The green economy is backed by hemp. We must fulfill the prohecy of the last known crowned heir of the throne of David, His Imperial Majesty Heile Selassie I. This coincides with the prophecies of the Freemasons, who recognize Ras Tafari as the direct descendent of King Solomon. The debtor's union works hand in hand with the hemp union, destroying the old even while building the new. Hemp provides food, fuel, shelter, clothing, community, peace, a living currency, America's largest cash crop, and was only made illegal at the insistence of Dupont, whose proprietary nylon was in direct competition with hemp products. Momentum for the legalization of industrial hemp takes place right as peak oil reveals the endpoint of nylon and the petroleum industry. the timing is perfect, indeed the timing has been prophecied. Working together with the debtor's union we create the critical tipping point by which the Green economy replaces the petro-economy.

Step six: we promote the return of the horse nation, the return of the buffalo nation, the return of the tree nation, the return of the sail nation, the return of the rail nation, the return of the pioneer nation, the return of the indian nation, as aspects of the return of the Hemp nation. This is the real economic stimulus package. Through investment in ecological rehabilitation we reap ecological dividends, meanwhile propping up the expiring petro-economy with revenues from hemp. This is new world order as foretold by our founding fathers, generations ago. This is the birth of the Kingdom of Heaven. This is American claiming her birthright as a beacon of hope for the world.

Oh, and by the way:  lets make gardening the centerpiece of public education, ok?  That one step alone will do the trick...

the elves have returned. the confrontation between worldviews is taking place right beneath our noses. for those who have eyes to see, let them see. the age of man wanes, the age of the machines is over. Mama Gaia is awake. 

This is happening today
in the wild places of the world - the pacific northwest, the
rocky mountains, the desert, the coastline, the islands...

and that's just north america. This is as global as it is intergalactic,
this confrontation of worldviews between humans and star children.
anyway.

United Methodist Debtor's Union

The United Methodist Debtor's Union makes the claim that Jesus himself in the Sermon on the Mount specifically told us to pray like this: Forgive our debts as we forgive the debts against us.

This means that the United Methodist Debtor's Union simply follows Jesus' orders, forgiving debts wherever they may be incurred.

The Debtor's Union is the Hemp Union. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin all grew hemp, the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper, and Betsy Ross sewed the American Flag out of hemp fabric. This is a full-blown American Revolution. Jesus preached that man cannot serve both God and mammon - man cannot have two masters. The United Methodist Debtor's Union stands for God and stands up to mammon. Plain and simple. We are dedicated to healing the economy through healing the ecology, using hemp as our nationally endorsed miracle crop. Growing hemp provides us with food, fuel, clothing, and barterable surpluses.

The Hemp Union supports the Church of Ras Tafari. The Church of Ras Tafari and Jah Ministries stands firm on our Constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion with regard to the sacred sacrament ganja.

open-source administrative duties

The artist gets stuck right at the point where administrative duties rear their ugly heads.

For example:

we need to file for articles of incorporation

we need a tax i.d. #

we need reliable and easy-to-use audio/video recording, playback, editing, and downloading

we need a real website

we need to file for 501(3)c tax-deductible status

we need licenses and insurance

we need to pay the friggin musicians, people. We need to keep them warm and dry in the rain, and we need to keep them well fed and somewhat Irie.

We need gigs.

anyway. it would be easier to just live in the woods and let Babylon burn, but Babylon is choking the whole planet, making it hard for our children to breathe. This requires action. Compassionate and strong action. The survival of our planet, all life forms on it, our species, our nation, our world, requires strong and compassionate action by which we serve our obligation to society by persuading society to STOP. This has always been the tradition role of the prophet - standing on the edge of society, condemning it, pointing out that it is collapsing and that it must because it fails to acknowledge the obvious truths of how nature works. Being ignored, until its too late.

We will never succeed in our efforts to eliminate Islamic terrorism until we cast light upon the Christian hypocrisy of conspicuous consumption in the face of scriptural doctrine that admonishes us to give up our things. We must give up our things. Most of them seem to be made of petroleum products, anyway. Which cause cancer. So by giving up our things, we prevent cancer. Not bad.

RETURN OF THE HEMP NATION
