The Greatest Speech Ever Made

Transcript:

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. …..

Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

The Only People For Me

 

“[...]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars"

Ridiculous Revenge

Some people view estranged parents who claim to suffer due to being separated from their children by the other parent as weak, but they could not be more wrong. Being a parent opens up a world of overwhelming responsibility and love, and we are programmed to do anything to protect our children. Unfortunately, this unconditional love makes us vulnerable to the pain inflicted when someone separates us from our children or undermines our ability to be a responsible parent. Deliberately separating a loving parent from their child and abusing them indefinitely is a way of inflicting severe and ongoing pain on them, but it is not in the best interest of the child.

The symptoms that abused children often manifest are alarming and it is appalling to think that a parent could knowingly hurt their child to hurt their former partner. Parental alienation is abuse, and it is now recognized as such by Cafcass. It is a blunt instrument deliberately contrived by one parent to hurt the other by hurting the one thing they have in common still, their children. The goal is to permanently sever the relationship between their ex and the children either by making them back away in fear or out of guilt generated by the impact their persistence is having on the children. The perpetrators play the victim in the process.

Imagine the mess it makes of a child's mind when they are forced to reject the parent trying to do what is right in favour of the one who holds all the power over them. The targeted parent experiences similar symptoms to those displayed by the abused children over time. They can never rest as the empowered targeting parent constantly changes their schedules and childcare patterns at will. It prevents them from focusing on their careers, well-being, and new relationships because they become obsessed with the abuse of their children. Parental alienation emotionally and often financially destroys the alienated parent. It is almost invisible to third parties who find it hard to believe anyone would stoop so low.

Parental alienation is the perfect revenge for the immoral perpetrator. It empowers them completely, enmeshes the children in the same way Stockholm Syndrome brainwashes captives desperate to survive. It is entirely counter-productive, destroying that which it purports to protect by undermining the earning capacity of the non-resident parent. It also creates a chain of problems for the children that will poison their future. With 1 in 3 marriages ending in divorce and parent alienation spreading like a virus, we cannot ignore the fast-growing evidence that the rates of unhappiness and depression among young people are growing at a frightening rate.
