America's choice by the Master , through Benjamin Creme When American citizens go to the polls in November, they will have the opportunity to change the course of history. On their decision largely rests the style and structure of the immediate future. If they choose wisely, they will elect a President committed to fostering the well-being of all who long for peace and justice in our troubled world; who realize that peace and justice are the outcome of trust, and who are prepared to share the vast resources of their country to create that trust. The alternative is too terrible to contemplate: a mounting programme of war and terror and counter-terror; a tightening grip on the traditional freedoms of the American people; a breakdown of relations with other countries; and a `pariah' reputation among the nations for the proud United States. Who would knowingly make such a choice?
Beleaguered As the day of destiny approaches, the minds of many turn to the beleaguered people of America whom, now, so many despise and hate. They pray for the deliverance of its people from the cruel and crude exponents of illegal, usurped power. They call for every peace- loving American to raise their voice against the war-mongering of the present administration, and to cast their vote in like fashion. Canker Of course, America is not alone at fault for the inequalities of the world, the basic canker in our midst, the source of all our troubles. It shares the blame with all the developed countries who ride roughshod and cavalier over the poor and struggling, and must awaken to this main source of tension and terror. Therein lies the fault of the Western world: these `successful' countries owe their wealth and dominance largely to history, and their ability to manipulate the world's economy to their own advantage through aggressive `market forces'. The world's poor and destitute now demand their share. If this simple right of justice is not addressed and remedied, the world will know no peace. Terrorism will fester and grow into war, which will threaten the future of the people of Earth. We, your Elder Brothers, cannot stand aside and watch while the very future of the world is under threat. America is a great nation with much of good to give the world. It must now awaken to its soul's longing to serve, to live in peace and justice, and, together, in harmony and co-operation, to work with all nations to remake this world. This election can be a great turning point in the affairs of men. Cast your vote, We beg you, for justice, sharing and peace. Share International Magazine, November 2004 http://www.shareintl.org
