The Wrath of the LRM in Nairobi Unleashed upon a Good Man

Masterminds OF THE Local Risk Management Committee 

conspire TO help one of their own Members TO Eject his Father 

from his Own Home AND get him Locked up

 IN Mental Unit AT Avenue Hospital

to separate him from his own brother upon whom he relies for safety, 

comfort and emotional support in an adverse family situation

Sadrubhai is the brother and will now unleash his wrath on the LRM (the Nairobi Ismaili security organisation with a base at the religious and cultural centre in Parklands/ Limuru Road)

This article is about something unpleasant.  

I feel the matter needs exposure because someone's life, rights and happiness appeared to me to be gravely compromised and his brother is currently without a roof over his head and is staying with me.  

It has now become an issue of kidnapping, abduction and displacement:

The brother has authorised me to publish his side of the story.  I have been cautioned by an LRM member (one who allegedly helped to remove Sadrubhai from that house under the auspices of the LRM) that there are always two sides to every story and that I may have jumped the gun, that my estimation and understanding of Nahid's father's condition and wishes are grossly erroneous.  I trust that since the case will likely go to court he will be there to defend his position.  Meanwhile it is not unfair to ask readers (who take similar or opposite positions) to submit their comments to the blog in the comments section and make them public as an expression of the seriousness of their positions.

They entered the house without a warrant, barged into the bedroom where the lights had just been put out (the brothers had retired), and roused the two men, and forced them downstairs.  They handcuffed Sadrubhai and bundled the two men into the police car....

WHERE IS BADRUBHAI? "HE IS IN MOMBASA, HAVING A GOOD TIME.  HE IS WELL AND HAPPY, I GIVE YOU MY WORD, DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM."  Alpha 1 LRM

In respect to Zahir Mohamed's charges against me (available for reading) I stand by my basic reasoning especially because Badrubhai's whereabouts at this time are a mystery.  He is still being kept incommunicado in respect of his beloved brother.  Might he have been put away at the wrong kind of place and could he be feeling demoralised where he is right now?  We are very worried.  I have therefore made an inquiry with the President of the council to ask him to make sure that Badrubhai is produced and his choices are respected.  On 21.2.14 the President assured me that Badrubhai was okay but did not tell us his whereabouts so that we could go and see him.  It is not clear whether these whereabouts had been revealed to him and, if not, why not.  I wrote him a text that rejected an offer of conciliation without his recognition of Sadrubhai's unconditional right to talk to his brother immediately.  This right has not so far been recognised.

DID THE OCS INTERROGATE THE SON AND ATTEMPT TO ASCERTAIN BADRUBHAI'S WHEREABOUTS?

Update 21:55h, 22.2.14:  Sadrubhai and I have handed in a complaint to the police demanding that they find a missing person and this has now mutated into a more serious charge of abduction, with a demand for an immediate reuniting of the two brothers.  The OCS has not yet come back to us about whether he has located Badrubhai but he has said that he had been interrogating the son when we called him at about 17:30h today to alert him.  We called him again at 20:06h ("I'm still in a meeting").

OCS SEEMS TO BE NOT READY TO CORRECT HIS ERRORS, REFUSING FLATLY TO GIVE US BADRUBHAI'S LOCATION

STOP PRESS:  OCS is calling us right now as I try to key in what Sadrubhai is saying to him....  "It doesn't matter" says Sadrubhai, "that he (Nahid) brings his lawyer but what I want is to see my brother.  They are denying me my rights...  but which place? ... He's been hidden....  But this shows that they have hidden him....  Why should they hide him?  ... Ya...  ya... ya... but also we....  but you should have told him that we did not commit any offence.... When he brought the LRM and the police cops he was at fault - we had not done any fault and this is what I am fighting for because my brother will really be feeling suppressed....  Okay I'll wait for your deputy to call me." (phone call ended at about 22:10h)

OCS'S REFUSAL TO SUBMIT BADRUBHAI'S LOCATION IS INCREASING THE RISK TO BADRUBHAI'S WELLBEING AND LIFE
The deputy did not call today (Sunday).  We now fear the worst: that the OCS Paul Rioba could well have risked Badrubhai's life and future by not forcing Nahid [at the risk of being arrested for kidnapping or abducting] to deliver him up NOW.  Is this not a form of support for an illegal position?  Suppose, now that Nahid is willing to go to court and will thereby be protecting the LRM and the police -- for wrongful invasion of property and arrest, too, I should think -- suppose Badrubhai is being overloaded with medication?  And if they are going to keep him away from Sadrubhai (which seems legally suicidal) will they not be forced to keep Badrubhai on high doses of medication for prolonged periods to prevent him from speaking his mind coherently, for example when he asks for his brother? It seems that the police has broken the law by not revealing Badrubhai this evening.  Neither Badrubhai nor Sadrubhai were asked to give a statement; nor did the LRM and Nahid give a statement on the material night.

A smart, well-spoken OCS such as this one would know the score - Kenya is a highly corrupt country where people's minds can be abused, where necessary, even with unnecessary medication or drug therapy.  WHY is he now risking Badrubhai's life and, if he is sure he hasn't done so, then how could he be so sure except in the knowledge of Badrubhai's whereabouts and condition from reliable reports?

THE STORY


Visiting Sadrubhai's brother in a psychiatric unit and verifying that the victim is, indeed, my friend, Jiwa, a jamati member

I was at Avenue Hospital on Sunday with my friend, Sadru Jamal (the cricketer) visiting his brother, Badrudin Jiwa in the Psychiatric Unit there.  Sadrubhai reported to me that Badru was of perfectly sound mind, if depressed and frightened and even feeling amazed at how it all happened.

Earlier I was attempting to ascertain who this 'Badrudin' could be.  Sadrubhai uses the surname 'Jamal' and his younger brother, 'Jiwa'.  So after a few minutes of discussion I realised Sadrubhai was talking about the father of one Nahid who was once a student in 7 Venus at Aga Khan School where I was the class teacher.  I had summoned Nahid's parents I believe because I was worried about Nahid's performance.

I bantered with Badrubhai and we joked around. He was looking relaxed and strong, and was smiling  taking the experience in his stride.  I found out later from Sadrubhai that his brother had been through a similar experience in the past twice before and, in a recent Kafkaesque incident, Avenue Hospital had sent an ambulance with five(?) guards in it to bundle him into the vehicle and convey him to the mental unit.

DISCHARGE HIM IMMEDIATELY.  HE IS NOT MENTALLY INCOMPETENT

Now, at Avenue Hospital again, the aim for Sadru was to obtain a report about the reasons for holding his brother there, failing which he was demanding the the brother be released and allowed to go home.  But the hospital and the doctor appeared to be evasive:  In the file there was a blank except for the statement, "Admitted by Nahid", Badrubhai's son.

Sadrubhai had effectively been kicked out into the cold.  He had actually stayed the night with me at my place, unit 37, at Old Highridge Flats which is how I got drawn into what had happened to him.  Clearly the question that should be asked is whom does Badrubhai want to be with and why.

He had earlier been physically assaulted by his nephew, Nahid, who had gripped him by his arm and said, "Get out from here!" and pushed out of the gate.  That was about a week ago, when Nahid and his wife, Hamida, had arranged to have their father sent to Mombasa on a "holiday" with the princely sum of 7000/= ($90)  in his pocket*.  And there lies the rub:  It was crystal clear to Sadrubhai, who has been with his brother, sharing one room in this very nice three-bedroomed property in City Park since last year, that Hamida and Nahid had discussed how to get Sadrubhai out of the house without causing too many waves.  So this is how they set it up.

Sadrubhai left home and went to stay with this friend for a while, until his brother, Badrubhai, demanded that he come and stay with him in Mombasa at Bamburi Cottages.  By this time Badrubhai was quite at "the end of his wits", if you like:  The house was his and he wanted his brother near him because he was feeling bullied and oppressed by the rest of the family, including his son and his wife, something that had been going on since they lived in Ngara Flats years ago.

Is this the way we are going in the treatment of our elders, then?

The question arises here about how children should treat a parent who is widowed, retired, aging and, because of possible restrictions, weakening (for some reason Badrubhai does not even carry a mobile phone).  Accomodating elders giving them their due position in society is apparently a new knowledge in our rapidly changing world.  It is a knowledge that is not available in our community here.  Sadrubhai and I have had several discussions about the direction in which the community is going here in Kenya and many of us are attempting to better understand what has gone wrong:  How and why, for example, do families bind and gang up around a member in their midst?  How is it that in other families elders are treated with respect and even reverence?  What are the long-term forces at play?



In this situation Badrubhai is a gentle head of family who has brought up his children to the best of his ability.  Just recently he talked about his son, Nahid (who was my student for a few terms as a child), to me when we were riding the bus together to a burial.  He spoke with pride and satisfaction about his son's achievements in life.  His son and family live with him in his house though he reported that the certificate of title is in his daughter-in-law's custody.



Ganging up against a family member who objects to an action that compromises ethics and then telling the world, "but s/he is mad!"

The basic reason for ganging up against a member of family or community (which has also happened to me in the past) to my mind, is too often related to his level of ethics and standards in and beyond the home or, in the case of a community, on the estate.  When the standard of ethics in a country deteriorate, they also deteriorate commensurately in the community and members often capitulate to shortcuts and get caught up in the game of survival and the sophistication of how to manage legal and business situations with craft.  The biggest mistake that families make in regard to a elder members whose minds are not respected for their knowledge, their experience and the sacrifice they may have made for their family is to 'move on' and leave that person behind in their own psychological and spiritual space.  In most cases it may be likely that the elder gave up control of their financial controls, too.
 
It is easy for family that is now on the curve of success to alienate their elders and usurp their powers for the sake of the changing values they wish to keep up with in society.  Elders, the most important and valuable members of a family are vulnerable and becoming dispensible because their approach to life's values are often not compromising.  Their ethical standards are no longer deemed fashionable or relevant.



FALSELY ARRESTED, DIVIDED, INCARCERATED AND DISPLACED

They said, 'Your brother should not stay here.' My brother said, 'It is better that my brother will stay here and Nahid and his wife and children should go out from the house.'

Currently, Sadrubhai, who is to my mind the only member of the family who is worried about his brother is currently in suspense with no place to stay; his brother is being held like a prisoner in a psychiatric unit in a hospital and the advocates have advised Sadrubhai to demand his immediate release.  The children are busy in their business and seem to be attempting to wrest Badrubhai's sovereignty from him by removing Sadrubhai (his only support and comfort at this time in life) from the house.  They appear to want to transfer the headship of the family to Nahid's wife, Hamida**.

After effectively incarcerating his brother, LRM went to work on Sadrubhai who had been handcuffed, after despatching Badrubhai to Avenue Hospital.  They carted Sadrubhai to the police station where, after realising he wasn't feeling intimidated, they let him go free.

In order to achieve this in a move that beggars belief, one night Nahid and his mates in the LRM arranged with the police at Parklands Police Station to have Badrubhai removed from the house - his own house - and consigned back into the mental unit at Avenue with the assistance of a private psychiatrist, one Professor Kitazi, and held there. They entered the house without a warrant, barged into the bedroom where the lights had just been put out (the brothers had retired), and roused the two men, and forced them downstairs.  They handcuffed Sadrubhai and bundled the two men into the police car.


NEW POST   NEW POST   NEW POST    NEW POST    NEW POST    NEW POST    NEW POST



"While the LRM were in the sitting room", Sadrubhai reports, "I was in the kitchen warming the food (because the daughter-in-law had declined to do so at my brother's request).  My brother asked LRM people, 'What have you come for into my house?'  They said, 'Your brother should not stay here.' My brother said, 'It is better that my brother will stay here and Nahid and his wife and children should go out from the house.'  Then they walked out of the house (all of them - the LRM, the daughter-in-law and the children) and we went to our bedroom.  That is when Rahil Esmail started talking to the cops and after 45 minutes the cops came."



WHERE IS THE MEDICAL REPORT?

Nothing has so far been written in the file, to the best of our knowledge (which was before the release but as of the current situation since he was discharged, the daughter-in-law is reported to have the report and the hospital refused to give Sadrubhai a copy of that report).  He could be on medication that could harm him and it is not clear whether his heart medication is being administered properly.  After effectively incarcerating his brother, LRM went to work on Sadrubhai who had been handcuffed.  After despatching Badrubhai to Avenue Hospital, they carted Sadrubhai to the police station where, after realising he wasn't feeling intimidated, they let him go free.



WHY IS HE ISOLATED?

Sadrubhai is not weak of heart and his mind is clear:  "I have never been handcuffed in my life!  I asked the policeman what we had done wrong but they told us to 'nyamaza!***.  My brother is being oppressed and suppressed and this has being going on for a long time.  Ask my sisters.  The intimidation, the lies and the humiliation are having a cumulative negative effect on his mind which is, otherwise quite sound."  (I would never have believed either, from my own conversation with Badrubhai in the bus, that he was mentally unfit or incompetent). [Now that Badrubhai's whereabouts are known neither to us nor the highest levels in our community at this time, Sadrubhai is even more worried that Badrubhai will be more susceptible to deliberate isolation and 'therapies' that could cause lasting damage, distress and depression.]



At the police station, Sadrubhai obviously had to be released.  He was asked by the LRM where he wanted to be taken, having clearly ordered him, "You are not allowed to stay in that house."  Without hesitation he said, "Take me to Avenue Hospital.  I want to see my brother."  In order to be sure that their newly acquired position was not threatened by such a move, the LRM boys first went to the Officer in Charge of the police station (OCS) at Parklands for advice and were told, "Go ahead and take him."

QUESTIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED

There is more to say about the police, more about Hamida and how we found her sitting like an obedient daughter-in-law at the feet on the end of Badrubhai's hospital bed, about how I know Nahid himself and what his father feels about what he did to him, about Jubiliee Insurance's role in the Social Welfare Board's involvement in the case, how the advocates intend to follow Sadrubhai's and Badrubhai's instruction to them, and how Badrubhai will get back home and once again sit there as the master of his own house.  How would the police get involved in such egregious action without incentive, who was incentivised, and by whom?  Is Sadrubhai interested in the property?  Are the children?  These would be interesting questions to ask.  How on earth does the LRM get involved in such furloughs?  They have been reported to grope at least one member of the jamat that I know of, during Mowlana Hazar Imam's visit and, in my case, members are not being dismissed for allegations of abuse of power, threat to take life, attempt to grieviously injure and intimidate and assault. They are not too worried about their name because there are enough of them there to pat each other on the back. [PS:  One LRM member (one who is alleged to have take the police into Badrubhai's house) has suggested, after reading the earlier edition of this article, that members of the LRM should be allowed to enjoy their leisure even if it includes assaulting someone in a private altercation, if they are not on duty.]


LRM has failed the community.  Disband it

It is quite clear to me that the LRM has to be disbanded.  I have heard reliably about enough incidences and unsatisfactory services to know that this band was conceived of on a day of expediency.  These people are mostly teaching their carefully selected recruits to be menacing where and when their laws are not being followed.  They have been reported to function like Afghans playing buzkashi (each for himself and damn the rules) and there is an informal pecking order which can, through analysis, be intimately correlated to individual members' powers in the community, the larger society and in relation to the police and other influential and grumpy agencies.  This is how they have been taught and are continuing to be taught to function.  Noone knows who is really in charge.  Sadru had called the Member for LRM in the council for advice and assistance early in the game.  This member, one Piri, did the obvious thing, which his own boss, the President of the Council appears to have, until recently, be doing:  He passed the buck.

Like almost everyone in the council they seem to be justifying this appalling conduct by accepting the voluntary positions and then crying, "but I am a volunteer and I have my own business to run."

I ask, who among these people in the council seem competent, committed or interested enough to understand the problem on all its relevant levels?  Who is qualified, motivated or empowered to attempt to find an overarching definition of (and thereby solution to) the problem we are suffering here in this community, in a country where the standards of ethics are sliding down an exponentially curved hill?  My observation is that Piri is intimidated by this horrifying trend as they all are, while they are a part of it, too, because they need positions and power and were eager to take up leadership of organisations that have been set up to exploit rather than give relief and a sense of comfort and security.  They work well as a gang, when they gather together like wolves to address any situation they are given, and resort to force, bullying, doing harm and supporting gangsters on the housing estates.

* I apologise for this error:  It was not 700/= but 7000/= (US$80).  I mistook Sadrubhai's report:  Badrubhai was instructed to go for a week and stay at less expensive places but, extremely angry as he was, he was not going to be cramped.  A very cheap hotel in town where there was no water supply reportedly cost him 400/= ($4.50) p night and the next one he tried was for 700/= and he was still dismayed.  He simply decided to stay at Bamburi Cottages, where the off-season rate at the back row is 3,500/= ($40) p night.  Effectively, according to Sadrubhai, he had been given expenses of about 1,000/= ($12) p day.

**The suspicion now emerges that all this tussling around is for only one reason:  If anyone were to be able to prove that the Badrubhai, a lone widower without any other emotional support to his account, is incompetent, would they not be able to collude to relieve him of possession of the property (which is worth about US$300,000 or $400,000)? Such interested parties could apply for guardianship /custodianship/ trusteeship and thereby even ownership of the property.  So, is this about property?  It may well be.

Just the look of this animal reminds me of a corrupt minister in a corporatocracy...

I have never seen such detailed and beautiful pictures of this grotesque thing which in Kiswahili is known as a strangler (kinyonga) because it winds its tail around the branches of trees the way plutocrats strangle the people [with the way they manage the economy].

How do they catch their prey?  With LOOOOOONG TONGUES!!

Jokes aside, of course the chameleon looks more like a beautiful jewel than an oligarch and, unlike the oligarch, the chameleon is totally harmless (except in some parts of the world where it is used to conjure up dreams and witchcraft).

How does an Oligarchy rule the masses?  A few individuals who get a high from prancing around charismatically simply take control of the government by throwing a few daily-needed shillings to the poor - their constituencies - and then protect themselves with security forces paid for by taxpayers (the corporates, like GM and Safaricom) who rely on the government for protection and a mutual alliance.  The burgeoning middle class is now paying taxes, too, and becoming allied to their employers, the oligarchs.

ESTABLISHING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

ESTABLISHING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

by Janis S

Humanity took a wrong path in our dark, murky past, somewhere in the region of Iraq, known as the cradle of Western Civilization. The path from hunting to agriculture was vicious and bloody. In the beginning, we are told there was a Garden of Eden. I believe that to be true.

This article is linked to THE WAY OUT in a previous posting

Did God drive mankind from the Garden? No. Was Eve the guilty party, the one who sinned and caused man, Adam, to sin? No. People moved about like nomads, hunting and gathering fruit from the Garden. People banded together in family units, with women the head of the family and the tribe. Societies or families were not war-driven to kill each other off. The discovery of grain, and the storage thereof, caused the growth of cities. Cities grew governments. The woman no longer ran the household. Man took over and created politics, and a class system of priestly rulers and many slaves, a government and a usury/debt/money system to support that government, in short, a capitalist system. From socialism to capitalism—that's the original sin. Agriculture replaced hunting. This was not the sin. Man replaced woman as being in charge. This was not wise, but was not the sin. It was man though, who put money in charge, and this was the original sin because the love of money created all the other sins as enumerated in the ten commandments. Man created money and ownership, lending and debt. This was the original sin. It was known as far back as the Sumerian culture, and so, has been around for a very long time. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10

Religion (Christian) has told us we need to repent, be baptized, and believe
in Jesus, and we will go to heaven, that we will be rewarded with material wealth, that gifts to the church will buy our way into heaven because our nature is sinful from birth, lower than a worm and we need Christ to intercede for us because we were created evil and born to be poor. What kind of a God would create evil beings? Only a man-made God would dream up something like that. Christianity was created out of the Roman Empire to keep the Empire alive for after the fall of Rome. And so another power system was establish in the name of religion. And Christ and the teachings of Jesus were buried deep within the official Church. The church tells you to believe in the church. Jesus says you are to believe in God, love God, and your neighbor as yourself. That's the recipe for socialism and the Kingdom of Heaven. “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof is stupid.” (Proverbs 1:1)

The person of Jesus said he came to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.

Luke 17:20-21

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel’” (Mark 1:13-14).

"I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose” (Luke 4:43).

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

The Kingdom is supposed to be established on earth. Let us go establish the Kingdom of God. It isn't that hard. “29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:29-30) First thing to establish is rules to live by based on the 6 elements. Remember what a person needs to survive: earth, air, food, clothing, shelter, and love which without any one of these necessities, a person will die. The same is true of a community or civilization. But we will start with a community, which is a living, breathing organism and has needs, just like a person, for its survival. They are:

We were intended to live a life in balance and harmony. Modern man does everything for profit only, and this is killing him, along with all life. The problem with modern day life is that it has become totally artificial, phony. Even the food we eat is phony. That's what genetically modified crops are. And cattle, chickens, and pigs are warehoused in monstrous, torturous pens, injected with hormones and antibiotics to counteract the filth in which they are forced to live. We then ingest the animal as a product. It is no wonder we are a sickly lot. Our souls are very sickly as well for torturing the animals the way we do. “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” Do you have some illusion that the elite will invite you into their gated compound.

Chilling direction of society in the world today

Kenya is a follower, not a leader.  We are also producing our demons.

Our rulers are complacent.  Look at what sorts of stuff can happen in the UK.  Indeed Africa could be headed this way, away from the heritage of peace and wisdom bequeathed to us by our African ancestry.  Does anybody in charge of the forces that protect us care?

It is a chilling direction in today's world when a ruler fails to reflect on the causes of society blemished by such aberrations:

THE WAY OUT

From my friend Janis

When you are hopelessly lost and in the ditch, it's time to stop, look, and listen to what the birds and animals are doing. They are building homes, caring for their young, and all day long, they are eating and drinking. Have you ever watched birds bathing in the water? They are so joyous, daily.

When you are so lost, you don't have a home to live in, you cannot care for your children, you depend on hand-outs for your food and sustenance. You were conned into selling yourself for a few dollars, and look where it got you. No one to care about you as you slide into a deep, dark ditch.

I could go into a long discussion of how we got into this sorry state, but you don't need to hear that right now. What you need to know is the way out. It is as simple as crossing the street. You were meant to lie down in the green pastures, beside the still waters. God's work, building His kingdom, preparing a table on this critically abused earth is your job, your work. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Jesus brought the message that it is up to you to establish the Kingdom of Heaven.

This article is linked to the one here on Establishing the Kingdom of Heaven

What is to be done?

Look to the birds and animals, the wild ones. First of all, no one owns them, they are not pets. Whereas you became the poodle for Walmart or Halliburton or Goldman Sachs, the giant multinational conglomerates. And look where it got you: living in a paper box under the bridge, scavenging garbage bins and dump grounds, searching for food, living in your car in Walmart parking lot. No one to comfort or care for you. Come unto me, and I will give you rest. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Did you ever wonder what the kindom was? Luke 17:21; Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you. Look to the birds and animals for the meek shall inherit the earth. "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." (Matt. 6:10). We can rattle the Lord's Prayer off like no one's business. But have you ever thought of the meaning? Christ states His purpose, i.e., thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Christ intended to establish His Kingdom on earth. What we must do, is occupy it, as our natural, God-given right. "The Lord is my shepard, I shall not want." I think we are talking about what you need to survive. What do you need? Earth, air, food, clothing, shelter, and love. "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake." It is time for us to occupy those green pastures, and build our homes among the birds and animals. We need to build a sustainable village and share the work and the living space and the fruits of our labor. The Beast tells you, you must pay for your shelter, your food, your water. The Beast tells you, you must live separately, and in fear of everyone. The only ones to fear are the Beast (Goldman-Sachs, Shell Oil) and its government agents. You need to live together, communally. Share the work, and the fruits of your labor. You are your brother's keeper, and he yours. Jesus was a communist and a socialist. He occupied the temple, the pastures, and the sea, and He drew large crowds of followers.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (Matthew 6:24-29)

He told you that His way was easy and His burden light. He was telling you that you need to give up the money system and live instead in the Kingdom of God, which He came to establish on this earth. He suggested an end to capitalism and to live instead with a socialist system. For this He was crucified. Look at all the witch hunts we have had whenever people tried to live socially. They are hunted down and shot, only we don't call them witches; we call them terrorists. Christ came to abolish the violent, murderous money/market system and establish a peaceful socialist system, which He called the Kingdom of God.

Luke 17:20-21

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel’” (Mark 1:13-14).

"I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose” (Luke 4:43).

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Let us go to farm and establish the Kingdom of God.

We have to reject money usuary Market capitalism, and instead live in socialist communes in the green pastures, beside the still water.

Occupy Wall Street had it right; they just picked a wrong location. They should have joined with farmers, with the intent of forming a self-sustained village of about 20 to 80 like-minded people. No small thing. First thing to establish is rules to live by based on the 6 elements. Remember what a person needs to survive: earth, air, food, clothing, shelter, and love which without any one of these necessities, a person will die. The same is true of a community or civilization. But we will start with a community, which is a living, breathing organism and has needs, just like a person, for its survival. They are:

1. land base
2. common language
3. common moral code of behavior
4. common religion
5. common government
6. means of trade
7. means of passing on the knowledge

That's all. Without any one of these, that society will not survive beyond 2 generations. Funny thing. Native Americans had it right 200 years ago. Isn't it a kick in the head that we must now rediscover what the Indian way of how to live in order to survive?
