March 2 2022 State of the Union: the Restoration of America, Democracy, and Western Civilization

by jayofdollhousepark

In the State of the Union address we have witnessed the Restoration of America as the primary guarantor of global democracy and our universal human rights, and of western civilization as a free society of equals founded in the Forum of Athens as a self-critical system designed to question its own authority, to change and adapt through revolutionary innovation and discovery while protecting our four primary values and ideals; freedom, equality, truth, and justice. Of all this President Biden is our chosen and undisputable champion, of America and of all humankind.

I would like to name and invoke another ideal, that of peace; but peace and the abandonment of the social use of force and violence is elusive. We forebear for now to send armies of Liberation to Ukraine; but I have found that the use of force is contingent on the level of threat and fear, and how long this will hold if Putin begins attacking NATO with nuclear weapons as he has declared his intent to do is a thing to ponder with great dread.

Our possible futures hold many which are nothingness and the annihilation of humankind; and many more in which centuries of world war and an age of tyranny shape us to the monstrous purposes of authoritarian power and institutionalized violence, in which our dehumanization, falsification, and commodification by those who would enslave us and steal our souls impose degradation beyond the limits of the human, and we awake one day to a brave new world of posthuman species for whom we are the mythic demons who poisoned and destroyed the earth.

Such is the vision of our possible futures I beheld in the moment of my Awakening, when I was hurled from my body by the pressure wave of a grenade thrown by a policeman into a crowd of protestors at the age of nine, during the Bloody Thursday Massacre, May 15 1969, People's Park Berkeley, the most terrible incident of domestic state terror in American history.

Myriads of possibilities of becoming human were impressed on the mind of a child as I stood outside of time and the limits of myself, like a seed of change and transformation, a moment from which alternate destinies and intentions unfold. In far too few of them, something like ourselves can look back across millennia at this time when liberty and tyranny hang in the balance.

On this seventh day of the Invasion of Ukraine, as the UN and EU announce solidarity actions with Ukraine and resistance to Russia timed to coordinate with Biden's State of the Union address, we fight for liberty versus tyranny in both Ukraine and Russia, and for the future of global democracy and the survival of humankind.

In his historic speech last night, Joe Biden warned Vladimir Putin: 'Freedom Will Always Triumph Over Tyranny'. It's up to us now, to make it real.

Lest all that we have ever dreamed and been or may ever be is lost.

As written by Alan Moore in V For Vendetta; "Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We've seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse."
