The resurrection of Uncle Sam by means of the restoration of constitutional government in these united states of America may be said to have begun on 6 November 2006 with this pioneering visionary article by Jason Miller titled "Unleashing the Christ Within"

Unleashing The Christ Within
Last Hope for the Moribund Soul of a Nation?
By Jason Miller

"What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?" ---Jesus Christ
 
Humanity's "beacon of hope" is unraveling at its moral seams faster than George Bush can say nucular. 230 years ago, disciples of the Enlightenment shattered the shackles of colonial oppression and inaugurated their conception of a haven for humanity. While tainted by patriarchy and racism, the founding of the United States was arguably the pinnacle of social and political evolution. Tragically, the descendents of those who ascended to that zenith are racing to the bottom at a dizzying velocity.
 
In a collective sense, the soul of the United States is writhing in the agony of spiritual asphyxiation. Trapped in an overflowing cesspool of its own making, the nation's élan vital desperately needs freedom and an infusion of spiritual oxygen. Sans significant change, its odds for survival equal those of an under-sized fish carelessly tossed ashore by a heartless angler.
 
Yet it is not too late for the "cradle of democratic civilization" to fulfill the dream of a nation governed by We the People. Our ancestors overcame seemingly insurmountable odds by defying a tyrant. What is preventing us from following their lead? Humanity and the Earth desperately need for us to end the Corporatocracy's destructive rampage and direct our unparalleled resources, wealth, and technology toward the betterment of the world.
 
We the People need to recapture the Zeitgeist of 1776 and initiate a revolt. To overcome a ruling class that maintains its power through the manipulation and enslavement of our psyches, we need a spiritual revolution. Since reactionary forces have assassinated the influential spiritual leaders whom have arisen in recent history, it appears we will need to resurrect one in the abstract.
 
While there have been a number of viable potential candidates throughout history, Jesus Christ appears to be the obvious choice. While people continue to debate whether he was man, myth or God, few would deny the wisdom and virtue of the teachings attributed to him. His popular appeal and impact on civilization are unprecedented. And one need not subscribe to organized religion or ecclesiastical zealotry to manifest the soul-nurturing principles of Christ.
 
What would happen if the poor and working class of the United States said "no mas" to the Corporatocracy? What if the wage slaves finally became self aware and leveraged the overwhelming strength of their numbers against their parasitic masters?
 
Over 250 million US Americans acting in unison and embracing Christ as their leader "in absentia" would overwhelm the relative few manning the bulwarks of exploitation, imperial conquest, and obscene militarism. While it is unlikely Jesus would have advocated open revolt, it is a virtual certainty that he would have instructed his followers to minimize or end their participation in a system driven by avarice and abject cruelty.
 
Improbable that such an evolution will transpire? Yes. Impossible? No.
 
So let's indulge ourselves by taking a glimpse at the potential results of a mass movement of the wage slaves and disenfranchised in the United States acting in accord with the enlightenment of Christ:
 
[Five years have slipped by since the "rise of the Proletariat" in the United States. Working in unison according to the spiritual principles embodied by Jesus Christ in the Synoptic Gospels, the poor, the working class, and the besieged middle class had finally renounced their allegiance to their pecunious over-lords.
 
Consumers staged mass boycotts, decimating the cash flow that served as the life-blood of predatory capitalism. Sweeping strikes and sick-outs deprived the vampiric moneyed class of their wretched wage slaves. Spreading like a plague, civil disobedience infected the fascist titan and brought it to its knees. Military personnel refused to serve, bringing the war machine to a grinding halt. Law enforcement personnel rejected their loathsome task of enforcing unjust laws, exposing the miscreants ruling the nation to the terrifying possibility of enduring consequences for their heinous actions.
 
Realizing that neither their wealth nor their gated communities would afford them ample protection from receiving the just punishment they so richly deserved, the power elite emptied their bank accounts, cashed in their decimated securities portfolios, and scattered like roaches scurrying to evade the Light.
 
Riding on the wings of their hubris, the haute monde fled to nations with no obligation to extradite fugitives to the United States. Tragically for them, their repeated displays of contempt for international law and rapacious actions toward other nations proved to be their undoing. Officials in nations harboring America's noblesse were delighted to cooperate with the newly formed United States government of We the People.
 
Within less than a year, astoundingly large numbers of the deposed Bush Regime, members of the US Congress, false prophets like James Dobson, and avaricious swine like Lee Raymond found themselves occupying the grim confines of the vast gulag of prisons they had built to "protect" themselves from non-violent drug users and impoverished Blacks.
 
At last the abusers of power and exploiters of humanity faced consequences for their unabated spree of crimes against humanity. How the mighty had plummeted. Stripped of their wealth, freedom, authority, and individuality, with shaven heads and sunken shoulders, the uniformed inhabitants of the nightmarish "correctional facilities" (of their making) choked on the acerbic medicine they had so gleefully prescribed for so many of their "inferiors". Fortunately for them, justice and compassion guided their jailers. State executions, torture, and prisoner abuse had been eliminated.
 
While the ousted power brokers met their fate, a new Constitutional Convention had convened. The new founders were truly representative of We the People. The assembly was comprised of men, women, Blacks, Latinos, Whites, Asians, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Atheists, Gays, Native Americans, the disabled, the mentally ill, and more. Ensuring diversity and equality was a significant priority to the new government.
 
Habeas corpus, checks and balances, the separation of powers, and the Bill of Rights were restored and enshrined as the cornerstones of the new federal government. Numerous rights and responsibilities were ceded to the state level, balancing the power between the federal and state governments. The rule of law once again prevailed over the rule of man. Big Brother was properly neutered and caged.
 
Wisely retaining the Preamble, and building upon it, those crafting the new Constitution determined that public funds would be dispersed in equal measures to revamp and sustain the judicial system to "establish Justice", to provide the means to "insure domestic tranquility", to maintain a military just large enough to "provide for the common defense", to fund humanitarian programs to "promote the general Welfare", and to perpetuate an independent watchdog entity comprised of elected representatives from each state (empowered to initiate a national referendum at any time to call for another Constitutional Convention) "to secure the Blessings of Liberty".
 
They abolished the Electoral College and electronic voting machines. Congress was reduced to a unicameral body comprised of elected members with each state represented in proportion to its population. Each member was limited to one term of six years. An unlimited number of political parties were given the right to equal share of public campaign funding. New legislation made private campaign contributions and lobbying felony offenses.
 
The infinitely complex tax scheme which had enabled the criminal class to pay so little was relegated to the dust bin of history. A flat rate tax on personal, business, and corporate income, sales taxes, luxury taxes, tariffs, and property taxes filled the public coffers with money that benefited each citizen as equally as possible.
 
Corporate personhood was abolished. The new government of the people nationalized major corporations providing essential goods and services such as healthcare, food, and utilities. The plethora of corporate industrial complexes, including the prison and military, naturally withered as federal funding for their malevolent and profligate programs was cut to the quick.
 
Assets seized from the criminal ruling class were utilized to provide a financial jump-start for this second attempt at forming an "asylum for mankind". Collaborating closely, national and local governments, nationalized industries, and businesses kept in check by a reasonable degree of public oversight worked to ensure that every citizen in their nation of excessive wealth had access to quality health care, education, food, and shelter.
 
As a majority of US citizens focused their attention on matters of the spirit and new laws were implemented to deter rapacious capitalism, many of the social and economic institutions shriveled, atrophied, or collapsed. Consumer protection statutes and diminished appetites for material possessions dealt severe blows to Master Card and Visa. New and more effective anti-trust legislation crushed leviathans like Wal-Mart and Microsoft. Small business owners could flourish (at last) in an environment devoid of competitor-crushing monopolies.
 
Moral clarity and clear-mindedness armed the masses against the relentless flow of lies and manipulations manufactured by Madison Avenue and the corporate media. Individuals and churches exploiting religion for their empowerment and enrichment found their pews and collection plates as empty as Mother Hubbard's cupboard. Grossly overpaid entertainers and athletes awoke to a stinging reality in which the public no longer worshipped them nor showered them with obscene riches.
 
Begging forgiveness from the rest of the world, US Americans withdrew hundreds of thousands of troops occupying other nations. Together with the rest of the "nuclear club" they began dismantling their doomsday weapons. The Zionist state collapsed when the United States ceased subsidizing its genocide and militarism. Palestine became a model of diversity as Jews, Christians, and Muslims imprisoned the proponents of violence and hatred in their midst and followed the example of their former patrons by forging a new government that truly served the interests of the people.
 
With the Neocons tried, convicted, and imprisoned for egregious war crimes, a withdrawal of US troops around the globe, and justice restored in Palestine, the "unfathomable" came to pass. Asymmetrical attacks on the United States and its Western allies came to a screeching halt. At long last the "War on Terror" was exposed for the sham that it was.
 
Having surrendered their perceived invulnerability, hubris, and narcissism, US Americans awoke from their state of mass delusion and began to perceive reality. Rather than launching military invasions that murdered millions of innocent civilians, the servants of We the People crafted and implemented a foreign policy based on the simplicity of the Golden Rule. Acting with fairness and respect, US leaders employed diplomacy, dispensed humanitarian aid without strings, and eliminated the military option excepting situations involving self-defense.
 
Despite the "loss" of material wealth, the power to dominate the world, and the "entitlements" associated with the capacity to crush virtually all opposition, those who had found a unifying set of convictions in the wisdom of Christ and dismantled the American Empire could rejoice. Gaining far more than they had lost, they had reclaimed their souls, individually and collectively. And they believed Christ's assertion:
 
"He who rules his spirit has won a greater victory than the taking of a city."]
 
Mother Teresa once said, "Each one of them is Jesus in disguise."
 
Christian or otherwise, WE are Mother Teresa's THEM. We who have been psychologically, spiritually, and financially enslaved by the insidious malevolence of American fascism have the love, compassion, and power of Christ within us.
 
We have the capacity and the moral obligation to reject the Faustian bargain offered by the ruling elite. Temporal security and prosperity afforded by raping humanity and the Earth are not worth the price of our eternal souls. And without the complicity of their minions, the emasculated oligarchs' reign of terror would be reduced to a historical footnote.
 
Off with the disguises and down with the Corporatocracy!

Addendum #1: 13 November 2006 We the People are Setting the Table

Open Letter to Reps Pelosi and Conyers: We the People are Setting the Table Now
9 comment(s).
Dear Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Conyers,

I am writing this open letter to you both on the day after Veteran’s Day. A day that has so much more meaning to me since my son Casey was KIA in Iraq for absolutely no reason but to line the pockets of the war machine. I cried in front of his symbolic tombstone at Arlington Northeast in Philadelphia and I dreamed of him before I awakened. Casey’s "tombstone" was planted in the ground directly across from Liberty Hall which was the birth place of our Republic. How tragic it was to see 2842 tombstones of our brave young people who have been killed by people who are trampling all over our Constitution and making a mockery out of the separations of power and the original intent of that document. 2842 citizens who were willing to volunteer for service and were killed by people who lied to the world to send them to invade and occupy a country in a war of aggression that has killed almost a million Iraqi citizens. How tragic it is that you both, our newly elected Democratic leadership are already talking about abrogating their Constitutional responsibilities, again.

We the people are shocked that you two are already stridently saying over and over again that impeachment is "off the table." Since the historic Nov. 7th elections, I have talked to a boat-load of Americans who want impeachment on the table. We activists worked hard to make these elections about national issues, like the illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq, and the culture of corruption that, especially you, Ms. Pelosi have been railing against for months now. And you, Mr. Conyers, have already written a brilliant and detailed indictment of BushCo. We the people are definitely puzzled by your rhetoric.

We the people put the Democrats back into power because we want to see a change in this country and a rejection of politics as usual. We want politics as unusual. We want to see the issue of impeachment and a speedy and safe withdrawal of our troops from Iraq de-politicized and brought into the realm of "right and wrong" where these issues belong, not "right and left."

We the people are here to tell you that we are the ones that are going to be setting the table, now. For too many years, we have allowed you people, who are just like us and elected by us and from us, to tell us what the agenda will be. Like I told George in a recent letter to him (no response yet, hmm), a sleeping giant has been awakened in this country and we are not falling asleep again just because the Democrats, only with grassroots involvement and commitment, are back in power in Congress.

It turns our stomachs when you talk about "working" with the Republicans. First of all, these people have allowed BushCo free rein in committing their high crimes and misdemeanors and crimes against humanity. Why would you want to work with murderers, liars, and crooks? When one works with criminals, one becomes complicit and culpable for those crimes. We elected you all to be different, not more of the same.

Secondly, and more importantly, BushCo have openly committed egregious crimes which they have all admitted to. The question really isn’t: should they be impeached, but why haven’t they been impeached, removed from office and criminally charged and tried for these crimes, yet? I believe that when Congressional Representatives and Senators are sworn into office they take an oath to protect the constitution, not to protect, aid, and abet criminals. The investigation and eventual rubber stamp to begin impeachment proceedings against Nixon was a bi-partisan effort and Nixon wasn’t even investigated for the level of crimes that BushCo should be investigated for.

We realize that you have a tremendous and daunting task before you both. We know for six years that your governmental body has been busy giving its power away to a maniac who has abused and misused that power so incompetently and tragically. However, to say that impeachment can’t be one of the issues that Congress begins immediate work on is not giving you all enough credit. We know that you can do it! We have confidence in your abilities. Impeachment has been done before in our country and it has never before been so urgent.

How many times has George said that the troops aren’t coming home while he is president? How many times has BushCo lied to us and admitted those lies? Or been caught in those lies? How many people have they killed for greed of money and power and how many lives have been destroyed by them? How many laws have BushCo broken and admitted to breaking? How many people have they physically and mentally wounded by torture and by sending our brave young people wrongly to Iraq and not supporting them when they get there? How much longer will you allow them to violate and desecrate everything that we hold dear as Americans and human beings?

We the people demand that you do your duties as officers and protectors of our Constitution and we demand that you do your duties as members of humanity to call a halt to the crimes against humanity of the Bush regime.

When the 110th Congress is seated on January 3rd, we the people, who also have a duty to our Constitution (We the People is the first line) and a duty to humanity will be walking the halls of your offices to tell you what our agenda is and what we want on the table.

I admire and respect both of you and I know you will do the right thing, but you better heed the will of we the people, or we will find other people who will. I hope you do believe that we want you to represent us and not the special interests of the war machine.

We the people are serious about true change this time and we are willing to walk, work, sit, stand, write, travel, sweat, freeze, be arrested, and scream for these changes.

Impeachment and removal from office are not for the squeamish or faint of heart, but we are neither of those things. We are all brave and (p)(m)atriotic Americans who realize that healing of the political divide that has characterized the Bush regime will only begin when our young people and the people of Iraq see justice for all of the death and misery that they have afflicted humanity with. Our children who have been sent to early graves or have to live the rest of their lives with PTSD or missing limbs, and the people of Iraq (not to mention the victims of Katrina) are crying out for this justice. Justice is meted out everyday in our world and if BushCo are not brought to justice then justice loses its meaning and effectiveness.

Do it for Casey, do it for his buddies, do it for the people of Iraq, do it for the people who were devastated by Katrina, do it to bring legitimacy back to Congress and our Constitution, do it to raise our reputation in the international community, do it just because it is the right thing to do.

See you on January 3rd.

Peace soon, Cindy Sheehan Activists can contact the potential Madam Speaker at: sf.nancy@us.mail.gov and the potential Chairperson of the Judiciary Committee, Hon. John Conyers, or your personal Congressional Representative at: http://www.house.gov/writerep /

Addendum #2 14 November 2006  Why it is Imperative to Impeach Bush and Cheney

Ten Reasons Congress Must Investigate Bush Administration Crimes
    By Jeremy Brecher and Brendan Smith
    t r u t h o u t | Guest Contributor

    Tuesday 14 November 2006

    Few elections in history have provided so clear a mandate. As the New York Times put it, Democrats were "largely elected on the promise to act as a strong check on [Bush's] administration." (1) But the first response of the new Congressional leadership has been to proclaim a new era of civility and seek accommodation with the very people who need to be held accountable for war crimes and subversion of the Constitution.

    Democratic strategists who argue for this kind of bipartisanship maintain that the American people want their political leaders to address the problems of the future, not pursue recriminations about the past. They therefore oppose the kind of penetrating investigation that a White House strategist told Time would lead to a "cataclysmic fight to the death" (2) if Democrats start issuing subpoenas. If such "peace at any price" Democrats prevail, the result will be a catastrophe, not only for the Democratic party but for American democracy.

    Establishing accountability will require a thorough investigation of the actions of the Bush administration and, if they have included crimes or abuses, ensuring that these are properly addressed by Congress and the courts. The purpose of such action is not to play "gotcha" based on hearsay and newspaper clippings. Investigation, exposure, and even prosecution or select committee proceedings, should they become necessary, are primarily means for re-establishing the rule of law. But such investigations may be blocked by the Democratic leadership unless American citizens and progressive Democrats in particular demand them. Here are ten reasons why they should:

    1. The US faces a Constitutional crisis that goes far beyond either partisan politics or isolated acts of wrongdoing. The Bush administration has tried to replace the Constitutional rule of law with the power of the executive branch to disregard both the laws established by the legislative branch and the judgments of the judicial branch. It has cloaked this power grab with a mantle of secrecy. Only by demonstrating the power of Congress to know what the executive branch does can even the possibility of Constitutional checks and balances be restored. The prerequisite for oversight is the right to know. Unless Congress successfully asserts that right, the Executive's usurpation of power will be permanent and unlimited.

    2. The Democrats are in danger of walking into a death trap the Bush administration and the Republican leadership are setting for them. The Democrats won the election on ending the Iraq war and holding the president accountable. In the current courtship, they are being invited to come up onto the bridge of the Titanic and share responsibility for the catastrophe. If they do that, they will end up at the 2008 election with a disillusioned public (especially their own base) who give them equal blame for the war and its catastrophic consequences. As The Nation recently editorialized, "Democrats must not forget the voters' message. If they collaborate in allowing continued bloodletting in Iraq, they will pay the price themselves in future elections." (3)

    3. Defending the Constitution by investigating breaches in the rule of law will allow Democrats to appeal to new bases of support among independents and others concerned about the rule of law. It provides a way of reaching out without selling out.

    The potential for such a broad and powerful coalition is exemplified by a recent statement by the Constitution Project - which includes both liberals and conservatives like David Keene, Chair of the American Conservative Union - that hails the election result as "an opportunity to restore checks and balances." It says, "The president has asserted that he has virtually unrestrained authority and that Congress and the courts have none. Congress must exercise, and the president must respect, its constitutional obligation to legislate and conduct oversight on issues like NSA wiretapping, military commissions, the detention and treatment of 'enemy combatants,' habeas corpus, and the power to declare war." If the Republicans were able to win by running on the Bible, Democrats can do far better by running on the Constitution and restoring the rule of law.

    4. Bush still holds most of the institutional cards on foreign policy, especially given his claims that the president can exercise authority without Congressional constraint. Short of an unlikely cutoff of funds, he can continue to conduct foreign policy and command the military as he chooses. Congress has few direct levers to impose Democratic proposals for new diplomatic initiatives or troop redeployments. It does not even have effective institutional means to stop further Bush administration adventures, such as an attack on Iran.

    The key to establishing power over foreign and military policy is to so discredit the administration in the eyes of the public that neither Republican politicians nor the military, the intelligence agencies, the foreign policy establishment, or the corporate elite will allow it to continue on its catastrophic course. And that requires, not friendly negotiations with the White House to find a formula for bipartisan packaging of policy decisions Bush has already made, but a devastating exposure of the criminality, corruption, stupidity, and false premises of those who are making the decisions.

    5. A Democratic Congress that fails to assert its prerogatives against the president will soon find itself losing the initiative in the face of the president's capacity to frame issues. While investigations are sometime portrayed as purely negative acts, by putting the administration on the defensive they may actually lay the groundwork for constructive Democratic proposals.

    6. A majority of the American people and an overwhelming proportion of grass-roots Democrats want the president impeached. A mobilization for impeachment was kicked off last weekend with speeches by Elizabeth Holtzman, Cindy Sheehan, and others. Serious investigation of Bush administration malfeasance is probably the only way that Democratic leaders reluctant to pursue impeachment can avoid themselves becoming the target of this constituency. Indeed, impeachment advocates can be encouraged to direct some of their energy to supporting such investigations on the grounds that exposure of high crimes and misdemeanors might be the only way to put impeachment "on the table."

    7. Exposing the truth about America's actions in the world over the past years, and holding those responsible for it accountable, is the prerequisite to setting relations with the world on a new, more constructive basis. As Philippe Sands, professor at University College London and a leading international human rights lawyer, puts it, "If the United States is to re-engage effectively with the rest of the world they have to resurrect accountability for their high officials."

    8. The US government under the Bush administration has systematically and flagrantly violated national and international law. If the perpetrators of these crimes are given permanent impunity with the collusion of Congress, future law-breakers will assume that they can commit similar crimes with impunity. Whether or not Bush administration officials can be subject to criminal prosecution or impeachment, the exposure of their acts can subject them to the kind of public repudiation they deserve. That can begin setting us back on a track toward international law that restrains crimes by the leaders of all nations, however great or small. For as Antoine Bernard, executive director of the International Federation of Human Rights, has said, "The key to peace and democracy building world-wide is accountability for international crimes."

    9. Hearings and investigations are crucial means to establishing institutional and cultural barriers to future crimes. At the close of the Vietnam war, the Church Committee established significant limits on executive authority, such as a strengthened Freedom of Information Act and a ban on assassination of foreign leaders. These were originally passed over the objection of then-presidential aide Dick Cheney, and he devoted his vice-presidency to dismantling them. Investigation of such executive abuses is the prerequisite for restoring public access to government information and developing new oversight mechanisms to enforce bans on torture, wiretapping, aggression, executive secrecy, and other illegal and unconstitutional executive activity.

    10. Setting the public record straight about what has happened over the past six years is essential for re-establishing discourse based on reality that can be tested by evidence and argument, rather than on fantasy propagated by national leaders and amplified by their media sycophants. A respect for truth pursued through honest dialogue based on evidence and argument will be essential not only for beginning to heal the wounds created by Bush's illegal war of aggression, but for addressing problems like global warming that a fantasy-based public discourse has evaded.

    52% of Americans believe that investigating the origins of the Iraq War is a high priority, and 58% want Congress to pursue contracting fraud in Iraq. (4) But that will not automatically translate into action by Congress. Convincing the Democratic leadership to support investigations will require sustained pressure from outside groups. This pressure needs to build early - before the new legislative session begins - so the leadership perceives efforts to squash committee action as politically hazardous.

    Fortunately, progressive activists are elegantly positioned to mobilize such pressure. They were the troops on the ground for virtually every victorious Democrat. They can set up district meetings with members, organize phone banks for support calls, submit op-eds and letters to the editors, and organize town meetings on accountability. The time to start is now.
