(THE) FRATERNAL CIRCLE
"Things do not happen. Things are made to happen." - John F. Kennedy
Scenario: Corpora-governments END war. And control the globe slowly with privatized prisons, monopolized energy, and expensive medicine.
BUSINESS MAKING, essentially. Profiting enormously. Our goal is WE THE PEOPLE. WE. THE. PEOPLE. 1776.
"Love, the higher law." - U2. Our world is turning into a cesspool/parking lot.
INTRODUCTION:
This message was written in the SCATTERED style of A.D.D.
Read this if WARFARE has ended. Read this if WARFARE has NOT ended.
Theodore Roosevelt told us to speak softly and carry a big stick. He was President of the USA. The 26th. 1901-1909.
"The pastures are covered with flocks, And the valleys are carpeted with grain. They shout in triumph, yes, they sing."
We punish the homeless.
This cold and static situation involves working more and getting paid less. With few benefits, we are programmed into servitude and guilt. Because we are kind, we don't revolt. Not even non-violently. ☮️ You deserve more CASH. To stimulate the USA and global economy. Through our spending. You know?
Your deceased partner? You should receive their Social Security money.
THE ICY NEW YORK CITY:
The government gives tax breaks to the wealthy, and they fund warfare. The government is burning our tax money on WARFARE.
As designed by weapons manufacturers, megalomaniacs, insane dictators, terrorists, defense contractors, and career politicians of government.
Those who profit from war. Strip them of their profits, and war will end. They build the bombs, not ramps. Build ramps. Not police states.
THE WAR MACHINE:
"All we are saying is give peace a chance." - John Lennon (assassinated). Malcolm X, JFK, MLK, Bobby Kennedy, Lincoln. All were assassinated.
I come from a military family. I trained for the Marine Corps when I was 22. I never enlisted.
Something was in the way... Can we stop? They live... (a film).
I don't vote red or blue because I'm purple, and I want to afford to live with some TRUTH.
We should get along... but we disagree, I think we should disagree. - The Strokes
Something was in the way... something in the skies. Free Bird: Search and Destroy. Non-violently. For your apathy.
A good book: No Country For Old Men.
Here is a haiku (to make friends):
Cherry Blossoms Fall
Lonely Summertime mankind
Falling On Moonlight
Translated to Japanese (しかし翻訳で失われた):
桜が散る

月明かりに落ちて
ABOUT ME:
This website is about the New Earth—a "near-beer" utopia. Nice but not perfect. A perfect world?
We have war, corruption, injustice, and too much taxation. But...
I don't gain anything from this project. This is a 100% non-profit effort. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I do believe that people profit from war. They always have.
I am not an enemy of any country.
War is bad for the poor. 🩸 Simply put.
INFORMATION GATHERED:
Books I've read include: The Outsiders, The Holy Bible, Tao Te Ching, The Grapes of Wrath, Slaughterhouse-Five, Animal Farm, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Ulysses, Brave New World, Catholic Catechism, Greek Mythology, The Old Man and The Sea, Of Mice and Men, Faulkner, Poe, Fitzgerald, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, East of Eden, Dune, Socrates, etc. Fahrenheit 451. Narnia. I've watched a Soho Forum Debate of a Marxist debating a capitalist. The capitalist won, to me, and the audience. Non-crony capitalism. But I'm mixed. Understand the mix.
EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:
I've worked at Sikorsky Helicopter (emergency craft, Black Hawk, civilian), Grand Sport Auto Body and Collision, a pizzeria on the boardwalk, and a Starbucks in Miami, FL. I've also worked at two chocolate factories: Palmer's Chocolate and Godiva Chocolate on the assembly lines. We need more tech schools for Americans so they may learn a trade, such as carpentry, electric, automotive, machinist, plumber, etc.
You could work 30 hours/week or less with benefits and paid vacations. Putting people first. It's called UBI, machine wealth, and good pay—a bundle.
This is if we make life a little more fair.
THE REVOLUTION:
Iceland's economy thrived in 2024 after introducing shorter workweeks with no loss of pay. Wait until you hear about UBI.
THE FUTURE:
"I said, now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal." - The Logical Song
We are the silent majority represented today and we want NO WAR and ZERO sex trafficking. The devils roam the Earth.
Read this if WARFARE has ended. Read this if WARFARE has NOT ended.
This website is mostly about politics, economics, energy, and war: THE NEW EARTH. ☮️ This mess we're in... The GREAT EMPIRE. The 4TH REICH.
The Military-Industrial Complex (MIC): The WAR BUSINESS is CASH for GUNS, MISSILES, and INFANTRY. We didn't start the fire but we can put it out. ☮️
"Firing a $70,000 missile from a $28,000,000 drone flying at a cost of $3,624 per hour to kill people in the Middle East living on less than $1 per day."
We should burn down the abandoned and dilapidated crack-rape houses in every city in America. If they can't be flipped into nice homes for people.
POLITICS:
The two major political parties are okay, I guess, but I lean toward the Independent Party...
But, wait, light er up...
I voted DEMOCRAT in 2024:
They want to help the poor through policies. Social Security, food stamps, FEMA (when functioning correctly), vet benefits, + more government programs.
Then again, get er done...
I am (mostly) a capitalist and Republicans know about governments becoming too large. The government owns the government yard:
No trucks on the beach.
No beer or fire on the beach.
Home evictions/bank seizers.
OVERLY EXPENSIVE HOUSES.
By fine or resisting arrest.
No drinking beer on the street.
Homeless people in the cold.
Packed prisons (prison industry $$$).
Cash for cars should be legit (too much paperwork).
Not so common law marriages.
Expensive, harmful, and deadly warfare.
Military-Industrial Complex.
Daily bank overdraft fees.
Earning caps on Social Security.
Do we even own our bodies?
Being sovereign is to rule your OWN life independently. To not let anyone tread on you. I do not believe in legalizing narcotics. But I do say:
"Destroy the drugs, not the people." Don't lock them up?
The (author)ities are keeping us safe? After all, Fentanyl and crack are bad for families and the moral fabric of society. A noble cause for the better of all.
We don't want war. Political wars with government bombs payed for by taxpayers.
I am a Republicrat. By definition: I am Michael in The Middle.
Cuban-Americans vote Republican because of what communism did to their country. I learned this from living in Little Havana, Miami. With actual Cubans.
May an olive branch be extended to ALL military men and women. No war. All nations.
When all the world is green... forgive her, for she knows not what she does. Pornography kills love. It's TOXIC.
MY CITY OF THE PAGODA:
Destroy the hard drugs like Fentanyl and CRACK.
They wounded my city of RED and BLACK:
Reading, PA. The 36th most dangerous city in America per capita in 2006. I grew up in a suburb of Reading called Exeter. I loved riding my BMX bike into the city to grind on high curbs with my pegs. My friend got held at gunpoint to his head:
"Get off our block..." ⛩
The Pagoda is a nice spot to see the city's lights. The outlets had to close due to crime... but there is excellent Puerto Rican food like empanadas.
We should make Puerto Rico a state. I visited Rincón. I am not exaggerating, it is the most beautiful looking down from a mountain landscape I've ever seen from the backseat of a Jeep. We went to surf, eat pork, and drink Piña Coladas. It was nice.
Reading, PA is the third most polluted city in the USA as of 2024. Still, statistics show that our world is getting better. I've watched TED Talks.
Instead of dealing with small-time addicts, let's pump up the DEA to go after the SOURCE: Mexican brown and Fentanyl. Mexican drug cartels w/ chemicals.
Destroy the drugs and not the people.
SEX TRAFFICKING:
Sex trafficking of children and adults MUST END with our special ops/military units. Burn it all down...
THE NEW WORLD ORDER:
George Bush Senior spoke of a "New World Order." As nations we need to be on the same page, that's all. That is the only way to ensure world peace. Peace through diplomacy, treaties, and free trade on the globe where we don't hate each other.
The US cannot support the entire world populace financially with her social safety nets. We need a secured border but undocumented workers account for a portion of the US economy.
WARFARE:
Some wars are justified, but the War on Terror mostly inspires more terror. It's like a wound we scratch, making it worse by inflammation.
Bombs cost a lot of tax money. And they are designed to destroy and kill. Smart science? OK Computer. 🚀
Are we still fighting terror? ⚔️ The terrorists started it. And then we took it to Iraq with a Shock & Awe by George W. Bush's team who took out Saddam Hussein. Barack Obama's team took out Osama Bin Laden. Good. Was Osama Bin Laden trained by the CIA?
Iran-Contra CIA missiles and crack cocaine of Ronald Reagan and Oliver North.
Who will launch the last missile in this holy war? Israel? Iran?
Occupy the USA! And THEN we take over Mars through deep space exploration.
MODERN AMERICA:
We were united as Americans when the Twin Towers were hit. Everyone was waving a US flag. 🇺🇸
I'm not Left or Right. Vote Forward! 🇺🇸
I think we should seek bipartisanship.
THE ECONOMY:
It's all about dialing it in, making the government less bureaucratic and wasteful, and making it work better. Something we can agree on.
Capitalism is needed for the rich and middle class. Social safety nets should be for the poor. We help the poor and miserable in America. We need a mixed economy for sure.
We already have a mixed economy.
The Scandinavian countries and the USA are mixed economies of capitalism with government programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps. Essentially capitalism with perks.
FOOD STAMPS (SOCIALISM):
Food stamps are socialism. But I am not a commie, comrade. Keep reading. Communism is cashless. We are not.
UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME (UBI):
(UBI) is a stimulus for capitalism in America. We received it during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It would supply people with wealth. Donald Trump's admin did it. You don't need to support Trump in order to like UBI and other ideas. There is bipartisanship across the board.
[Spouting Off Artistically...]
Zombie... zombie... zombie. With their tanks and their bombs. Ultra-violence.
People like Greg Mankiw (a conservative Republican) of Harvard, Peter Diamond of MIT, Andrew Yang of Brown University, and Martin Luther King Jr. They believe in Universal Basic Income (UBI). You would receive $1,000+/month for life on top of your current income. Martin Luther King Jr. called UBI a Guaranteed Income.
What is (UBI) Universal Basic Income/Guaranteed Income?
Universal Basic Income (UBI) is not socialism but is capitalism, stimulated. You would receive $1,000+/month for life from money that is in circulation. It would boost the economy enormously because more people would be spending cash. The rich would get more business from the poor because the poor would have more cash (disposable income). To be able to afford X-Y-and Z.
It is an error to say that the poor cannot handle wealth. The poor are the wealthy without cash. (Trading Places.)
It would cost the US $3 trillion a year to give every American a UBI of $1,000+/month for life. Less if we don't cover children. Parents cover children. The ideal situation.
Cash would circulate like in the game Monopoly. Players collect $200 every time they pass "GO". So they may participate in the game of acquiring property in the free market. Capitalism requires cash.
M.A.T.H. Make America Think Harder. This was the slogan of Andrew Yang when he ran for Presidency in 2020. His main policy was UBI. I knew about UBI before Andrew ran for Presidency in 2020. When it was circulating in the underground on internet forums.
BREAKING DOWN UBI:
A Universal Basic Income (UBI) of $1,000/month for life. You spend $200 at a store; another spends $400. The store becomes busier, and the people who work there get paid. The store receives so much more business that it needs more workers. The economy is stimulated. New jobs are created, and the GDP grows by $4 trillion dollars in a more robust economy where more people have wealth and are spending.
HOW TO PAY FOR UBI:
A flat, European-style Value-Added Tax (VAT) works better than a progressive wealth tax that takes specifically from the wealthy and gives to the poor. The nine countries that tried the wealth tax rejected it because it did not work. It was difficult to implement and didn't generate enough revenue. The VAT would take tiny slivers of money from billions and counting of transactions, and it would fund a Universal Basic Income (UBI) of $1,000/month as adjusted to annual inflation.
We need capitalism for the rich and socialism for the poor. In a nutshell.
Food, clothing, diapers, and female hygiene products would not be taxed. So we wouldn't feel it at the grocery store.
Although, I have read about funding a monthly UBI without a European-Style VAT.
Yes, UBI without a Value-Added Tax (VAT). Interesting...
THIS HOUSE IS A HOME:
You could eventually open a small business with an extra $1,000 monthly on top of your income. It could mean a mortgage on a house. Your kid's higher education. A car. Financially adopting a little boy or girl in Africa through WorldVision.org. Many of us could work less. With better pay.
Why live in government housing projects when you could afford to buy a nice little bungalow for yourself and your family? There should be some government housing, too. Spacious & green. A safe society.
In the 1960s, employers worked for their employees. Now it is the opposite. CEOs make 344 times more than the average worker in 2024.
"The starting pay for McDonald's workers in Denmark is around $22 an hour. They also get six weeks of paid vacation a year, life insurance, maternity leave, and a pension plan."
Whatever happened to US pensions for US workers in USA factories? That's some 1950s stuff. American made.
INFLATION VS. HYPERINFLATION:
Hyperinflation occurs when the Federal Reserve prints excess fiat currency. This results in the depreciation of currency (a very weak dollar).
Regular inflation can be stopped. This is what we have economic advisors for. Our system of UBI would use money that is already in circulation. No hyperinflation.
NON-CRONY CAPITALISM:
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" - Ronald Reagan. June, 12th 1987
Greg Mankiw is a conservative Republican and an economics professor at Harvard. He told us that planned economies (socialism) don't work. Especially in nations as large as ours. We are not a homogeneous nation, like Japan and some other small countries.
A mixed system is the correct economic system for our nation. Communism only works in small communes filled with very nice people. Communities full of vine-ripe tomatoes and basil. Off the grid life.
Maybe we'll all live off the grid someday. Free energy.
Again, Mr. Mankiw is a conservative Harvard economics professor and he approves of UBI as proposed by people like Andrew Yang, Martin Luther King Jr., Peter Diamond of MIT, and many economists.
WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE:
We need a large military as long as they (others) have one. But we are mostly here to be anti-war, I believe. Right? General Tony Zinni said that world peace is a Christian pipe dream. He also said that US government agencies are stovepipes that don't exchange intel. They're not on the same page when they probably should be. Stovepipes. No crossing. They should exchange intel.
The United States of America is a global empire. General Zinni said that we as Americans need to decide if we want to further being an empire. Maybe we should be more focused on the USA instead of fixing other nations with US tax money and military sweat, tears, and blood. Two words: Peace Corps.
THE USA CONSTITUTION:
I support the NRA and our Second Amendment right to defend ourselves and those around us. I believe in our freedom of speech and the US Constitution. I believe in America and her allies.
I don't even like guns. Heart and mind pulls the triggers. We are rifles.
CORRUPTION:
Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, RTX Corporation, etc. all profit from war.
Career politicians, elites, and special interest mega-corporations buy elections.
ENERGY:
The 900HP saltwater-powered engine. You've read correctly. A very powerful engine for vehicles and it runs solely on saltwater from the ocean. The electrolytes in the water interact with an electric membrane to drive the engine. We could have saltwater stations instead of gas stations.
I came up with the idea of a magnetic vehicle years ago. Now Japan did the engineering for us, and yeah, now they have it. It renders engines, fuel, and batteries obsolete.
EARTH:
Protected wildlife.
Family values.
I believe that kindness matters.
Let's take away daylight savings time. To keep more sunshine.
We need to ban every toxic ingredient in our food.
In India, they are paving roads with recycled plastic. Smart solutions.
Discarded coconut shells can be used to make pallets. Saving 200 million trees a year.
Everything made from plastic can come from hemp. I do not support logging and pipelines.
Sweden recycles so well that it imports garbage from Norway to fuel its waste-to-energy power plants. We could do this in the USA. Every country.
It costs more than a penny to make a penny.
HEALTHCARE:
We need universal healthcare. Maybe. It wouldn't cost that much. Let me explain. You may be able to afford it instead while it is inexpensive. I believe it should be inexpensive. I receive free prescriptions and I think you should, too. We need to give the medical sciences some money, though, so they can advance medicine. Maybe they will cure cancer. Dial it in.
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM:
The court system is Masonic. Black robes, the bench, and gavel in the courtroom are Masonic. The room to deal with the person who has committed an actual crime should consist of the judge, the defendant, and anyone else who wants to be there. They should hash it out with the judge, and the common law should be simple. I don't believe in drawing blood for blood. And no lawyers. Just a good judge. Law is simple. I was charged 30 times for 2 crimes. Nonsense. The law has been obfuscated and I do not believe in the Commonwealth. I do not believe in the death penalty.
Jesus Christ said that he who is without sin may cast the first stone at an adulterous woman. The "Christians" put you in a cell where often times you meet God's children.
Release all non-violent drug offenders from prison. Decriminalize all drugs. Send them to the homes they may not even have. Life is complicated.
(You got my son strung out on heroin, and now you want me to decriminalize narcotics?!?!) The Great Debates.
It takes a village to raise a child. Imagine a STAR TREK society. A healthy society of no war, no crime, and good technology. Focusing on educations.
SOME MORE STUFF:
To me, vehicle inspections are un-American. In the state of Florida, you don't need to get your vehicle inspected at all. I think that's great.
Capitalism for the rich and socialism for the poor. Free school lunches but nothing is free accept for a favor.
Tariffs are a soft form of warfare that prevent international friendships and global cooperation. Better to supply people with monetary wealth so they can purchase products and services, stimulating both the national and global economy.
Trickle-down economic theory only works for the upper class. Instead of wealth trickling down, it pools in mansions and offshore bank accounts in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, etc. There is an illustration of trickle-down economic theory below at the end of this text.
"We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now." - Martin Luther King Jr.
THE GOVERNMENT:
"Government even in its best state is but a necessary evil." - Thomas Paine
Thomas Paine sparked the American Revolutionary War with his pamphlet 'Common Sense' in 1776.
"Two roads diverged in the wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost
MACHINE WEALTH:
Machine Wealth occurs when AI machines do the work for us and the people get paid for the machine's labor. Stephen Hawking spoke of this before he passed. He said we need to stop corporate lobbyists from preventing machine wealth (+) from occurring. May there be food, androids, and Hanoi beer in the rice paddies of Vietnam and elsewhere globally. Less labor for farmers.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING:
A Quaker landlord named Deke rented a Chester County colonial home to my brother and his wife for $550/month. He could have charged at least $1,000/month in Chester County. It enabled my brother and his wife to raise two beautiful little girls in one of the nicest parts of the country. No one made Deke charge that little but Deke himself. Sometimes I think it comes down to greed vs. heart.
Thank you for reading. (JAH)
