23 September 2001 Is there still hope left? We as human beings and inhabitants of earth are faced with one of the greatest moments in human history. Our world is on the brink of cataclysmic change. Many known and unknown civilizations that have come before us have been at this moment in time. Perhaps forces deep with inside the earth such as volcanoes or earthquakes have triggered these events. Maybe these events came from the deepest reaches of outer space or even from disease or divine intervention. Whatever the case as you read this, the human society in whole has the chance to choose it's own destiny. There have been some of the most horrific events in recent history that have occurred over the last year. From mothers killing their babies for no reason to the mass amounts of children killing out of control. All of this culminating with the suicide attacks that have been occurring around the globe and the infamous WTC attack of 11 September 2001. Lets face some facts here: Iran has no less than 38 intermediate range nuclear missiles ready to go. India and Pakistan have full nuclear capabilities. Israel is fully nuclear and willing to preempt any threat that they feel is real. Iraq . What do you think? And of course all the others. Lets not even talk about the biological and chemical weapons.. Anthrax is always a favorite when people talk about bio weapons. The thing is that it is very difficult to deliver affectively. Not to say that it isn't a real threat especially on the defined battlefields. To other places in the world it isn't affective unless it is delivered by someone like Russia or the USA who really has the means. God only hopes that Iraq can't deliver it yet via their SCUD Missile system. This would be a clear threat for Israel's population. The main threat is very realistic. SMALL POX. This deadly disease is extremely contagious and very resilient. Once it is out it doesn't just die and disappear. You are talking about one infected person could cause a wildfire affect across a nation and the globe. This viscous disease will kill within a week. The USA for example only has a total of 7 million vaccines available. And guess who they are for?? That's right the US military and the government officials. SMALLPOX escaped the controlled laboratories with the end of the Russian communist regime. Not to say it has infected anyone outside of their testing conditions; this is to say that the deadly disease is now in the hands of people who are not afraid to use it. If you believe anything less than this, don't confuse ignorance with hope. So this brings us back to choice. Yes it is our human obligation to stand up to and overcome evil. This has been the eternal human struggle. Whether those evils came from within ourselves or from outside forces. The perspective of good and bad and right and wrong is always been subject to the way in which you view it. There have been times in our human history where good and the better for all man kind have not prevailed. We as humans of this time and place have made tremendous achievements and monumental failures. We are at the cusp of discovery and surging our civilization into the outer reaches of space and time. The required resources, technology, and human endeavor are at our collective fingertips. As a world of one people (with many individual desires) working together for a common goal we can achieve things we haven't even imagined yet and things that we have. So here we are today. No ideas no matter how noble or evil ever works out the way we have them planned. This conflict is now already out of control and has reached critical mass. The question is how fast will this uncontrolled reaction take to explode . Days, weeks, months?? Make no mistakes, WE ARE THERE!! Here are the simple choices: 1) Let it ride; don't change anything.. Over 90% of the world human population will be gone. To be left after it is said in done wouldn't be a bad thing.. The opportunity to survive and be the seeds to the next civilization and help pickup where the last one left off. To have learned from the mistakes and be able to teach and grow again. Like a natural wild fire that clears out the old growth making way for the new and continuing cycle of an old growth forest (which there aren't many of those left). Of course the trick to this is surviving. Could be tough. Are you cut out for it? Are you the one in the 720,000,000 million people who will survive? 2) Make the change. Yes it is that simple. Make the change. This has to come collectively between every human. Sound like too big of an obstacle? Consider the other option. We are the people of earth. We are not all represented by Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Yasser Arafat, Tony Blair, George W. Bush. Etc. People everywhere need to make this choice. All things need to change. I want to quote John Lennon for some advice. Past this, you have to go back to choice #1. Imagine John Lennon Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today... Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one Congratulations and good luck to all of you. What a time to be alive. Embrace this life with all of its infinite possibilities and wonders. Love yourselves and your children. Please translate this in to as many languages and forward onto as many persons as you can.
