Rev. Billy Talen: “War Has Finally Captured Peace”
October 9th, 2009 by Ronald Hardy
In a message today, the Reverend Billy Talen, who is running for Mayor of New York City on the Green Party line, had this to say about Barack Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize:
Now we have to change all our words around.
I never thought of Peace as a word that was moveable. All our words have been shifted by Consumerism and Militarism. Democracy is gone, America and Freedom are gone. Peace always stayed there in one place.
Peace patiently waited for us to notice the best things about ourselves. Peace always stayed with us. Peace was ignored by the governments and the powerful but it was still there – the monument that is made of the sky and the wind, our memories of a face and our loving touch. But now we have to change our words around. They have taken the word Peace and we’ll have to make up a new word, a secret signal.
Predator drones will be released tonight destroying the word we always depended on. The flying bomb will go out over the villages, sailing over the sleeping children and prayers and friends stopping for a laugh. The bombs will float and hesitate and change direction from computers in Florida and Missouri and the soldiers at the computers will know that Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And so they will be consumers of a war that is now being marketed as a product named Peace.
So – it has come to this. War has finally captured Peace.
Apparently they will give that prize to just about anyone.
As you would expect, Catholic Trotskyist is very happy about this. I just spoke with him. It seems that a large part of his recent mission to the Vatican has been working politically to make sure that Obama would receive the Nobel Peace Prize, which is an important part of the rise of Catholic Trotskyism. The defeat of the Chicago olympics bid is another signal for the rise of Catholic Trotskyism, because the olympics went to Brazil, which is a primarily Catholic country that has a left-wing government. Obama secretly engineered the victory of Brazil’s bid.
This is all according to Catholic Trotskyist, I personally don’t agree with all of this. Personally I think the Nobel Committee should be abolished as part of the liberal communist conspiracy. When real conservatism with absolute monarchy comes to power, there wil lbe no prizes for peace at all. Men will go out and fight wars between their imperialistic nations, and women will go back to the kitchen, as God intended.
Amen! The Obama foreign policy is unchanged from Bush’s, except to be nicer about it. Whatever the agenda is behind this award, it has nothing to do with peace.
