“If the U.S. government system can only go to war through an artificial event, then this leads to a startling conclusion: the days of war itself are numbered. If only a highly-charged emotive stimulus will get us to permit war, then that means war is naturally fake. The masters of war show us this themselves. They dig their own graves.”
from Chapter 19: “Revolution Means a Spiritual Solution to a Spiritual Problem”
Hope you can make our book event, a talk and discussion, tonight. It’s the first event for my book “Slingshot to the Juggernaut.”

Represents Enlightened Consciousness.”

Activist
Sander Hicks' new book, "Slingshot to the Juggernaut" explores the
intersections of direct action politics with spiritual revelation and
enlightenment.
... What does it
mean when wars are fought on the basis of a Big Lie? Ten years later, not one
“respectable” voice in the mainstream media is allowed to question the 9/11
official story.
The grassroots revolution of Occupy Wall Street and
the mass dissatisfaction it represents shows that there is a global hunger for
a deeper human connection. A world of illusion has failed us. What is next?
This talk will explore the paths offered by Zen,
truth, punk rock, radical Christianity, 12-step recovery, and anarchism, all of
which lead to an enlightenment that is both spiritual and political.
This event is FREE- offerings accepted.
Sander Hicks' "Slingshot to the
Juggernaut" will be signed & sold($16)!!!
“Visualize a new kind of country, one that is about empowering its citizens and the citizens of the world rather than intimidating them. Imagine the United States as a country best at figuring out how to meet the needs of all parties in a conflict. Instead of being number one at war, we become number one at fostering peace.”
