William Harris in his The Scientific Basis of Vegetarianism affirms
That Violent Diets Lead to Violent Crimes,
That Carnivorous Nations or Cultures
are Far More Violent than Vegetarian Nations.
Based on the Wars of History waged by the nations governed by the orthodoxies
of Judaism, Christianity and Islam,
there is absolutely no doubt that Carnivorous Cultures
Wage wars far far more often than do vegetarian cultures.
The results are there for every objective observer to see.
If the leaders of nations would look at the facts objectively,
They would close down the slaughterhouses and the animal foods industries.

     William Harris in his The Scientific Basis of Vegetarianism, a statistical study of
violent crimes in the world points conclusively to the correlation between carnivorism and
violence.  It is indisputable according to his statistics that the carnivorous countries of the world commit the highest proportion of violent crimes.  A diet of violence leads to violent behavior. We are what we eat.  Michio Kushi's Diet and Crime, a similar study based on feeding prisoners macrobiotic food, for the most part vegetarian, makes a similar conclusion, although Kushi ironically finds the use of fish, though filled with perhaps even more industrial toxins than other forms of flesh, as acceptable.

   None the less, though Kushi's study is microcosmic, based on prison wards, and Harris' study is macrocosmic, based on crime statistics from nations all over the world, both Harris and Kushi come to the same conclusion, that the vegetarian diet is pacifying and does not stimulate violent behavior.  Buddhist and Hindu teachers have for millennia been reporting the same data from their observations.  And most honest carnivorous observers come to the same conclusions, just as honest medical professionals are admitting that animal flesh leads to heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, and a diminishing of the power of the immune system, which in turn leads to a legion of other diseases.

     A retired MD friend named Walter Kujawski shared his observations with me before his passing on; his study of the histories of carnivorous and vegetarian nations came to the same conclusion, a conclusion with which all honest students of history agree.  The facts are there: Hindu, Buddhist, Shia and indigenous Shamanic cultures open their countries to people of all faiths, even to people who malign the residing religions, and they are not prone to imperialism, to the conquest of other nations in order to gain wage slave labor or the resources of those nations. There is no questioning the fact that these faiths are more tolerant than the violence-prone cultures headed by the orthodoxies of Judaism, Christianity, and Sunni Islam.

     Yet our government, media, and schools, like those of most industrial nations, continues to promote a diet involving brutality towards animals, and promoting more disease and early deaths among humans.  The leaders of industrial nations are now unfortunately not like the people in Nineveh in the Old Testament, a people willing to change in order to escape the wrath of God.  The governments of the world, especially those of the industrial nations, are nothing more than the modern Masters by force of those who are Slaves, the governed.  Everyone knows only those who have the support of millionaires and billionaires can run for president in the U. S. and I have no doubt that it is the same in most other industrial nations.  And though the U.S. for example, has existed for almost three centuries, all the while preaching the notions of equality and liberty, we still have a class society of Rich and Poor, the Wealthy and the Needy, the Privileged and the Unprivileged, billionaires in mansions having more money than they or their offspring would logically spend in a number of lifetimes, at the very same time that we have homeless people and people with no medical care, thereby proving beyond any doubt that there never was a sincere effort on the part of those governing the United States to eliminate poverty and to create a society in which all are equals.  The Rich are those who by definition do not love their neighbors as themselves.
 

The Orthodoxies of Judaism, Christianity and Islam
Are not only Unwilling but are Unable to Promote Peace.
Carnivorism is a manifestation of the Imperialist Impulse towards Animals.
Elitism, Societies of Rich and Poor, are a manifestation
of the Imperialist Impulse towards humans.

    It should be obvious that peace will be achieved only when elitism, when societies of rich and poor are eliminated, and all people are equally free.  In turn, the lessons of history show us that orthodox Judaism, which promotes elitism, and has existed for over 4 thousand years, that orthodox Christianity, which promotes elitism and has existed for 2 thousand years, and orthodox Islam, which promotes elitism and has existed for over 1300 years, have been not only unable to promote peace among humans, but have actively promoted slavery, whether the abject slavery of the past or the wage slavery of the present, in order to support the desires of the Rich, the Upper Classes, the Industrialists.

   And what example have the orthodox Jews given the world lately?  They with the
fundamentalist Christian government of the United States were one of the two chief supporters of the racist apartheid government of South Africa, they invaded and killed the people of Palestine, they do not admit black Rabbis except under special conditions (once again manifesting their racism), they have constantly sold munitions to fascist governments
suppressing egalitarian movements, and their rabbis are even today speaking about rebuilding a temple of animal sacrifices.  The orthodox Christians of the United States, who bully less powerful nations throughout the earth, and who have literally killed millions of people in other lands such as Korea, Vietnam, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Iraq, Bosnia, and Afghanistan, and the orthodox Jews of Israel, must be considered two of the most exploitive societies on the face of the earth, rivaled only by Islamic extremists.  Their industrialism and wealth is in proportion to their violence, and in fact, these have always gone together in history.

    I do not dismiss the crimes of Sadam Hussein who has persecuted Kurds and Shiites.  As one Arabic woman so tersely stated: the choice between George Bush and Sadam Hussein is a choice between two demons.  The fact that George Bush chose as his Vice President Richard Cheney, who supported the apartheid regime of South Africa, and who did not want to boycott it, and who also objected to the release of Nelson Mandela, once one of the notable freedom fighters of the world, from prison, should have been adequate reason enough for the voting population of the United States to object to him.  But instead, the Republicans of the U.S., who are noteworthy for being even more immoral than democrats, rallied behind the supporter of slavery, and elected (by hook and crook) him and George Bush, whose father's tyranny is now legendary to the masses of the world for having killed 300,000 Iraqis, half of them civilian, in the bombing of Baghdad.
 


The Myth of Free Elections
The choice between Industrialist Tyrants is a Choice between Demons.
Because the Russians didn't let Communist Principles
influence their Attitude towards other creatures, their experiment failed.

    It isn't lost on many people at all anymore that free elections are a myth, that only those who have the support of billionaires can run for federal office, that the rich elite are far more likely to stick together in order to control the masses, that is, the rest of us, than the masses are likely to stick together in order to remove the upper classes from society, which is certainly a prerequisite for any form of peace existing in the world.  It wouldn't be enough however, even if the miracle occurred: the miracle being the peaceful coexistence of all carnivorous nations. For until the imperialist impulse which drives humans to oppress, displace, enslave or kill other creatures is eliminated, the inner violence will still be there.
A vegetarian world, even more specifically, a vegan world, is necessary for the demons to be exorcised thoroughly.   As has been said in the Introductory Outline to this section:

The results are there for every objective observer to see.
If the leaders of nations would look at the facts objectively,
They would close down the slaughterhouses and the animal foods industries.

     A return to an egalitarian and vegetarian world would entail the elimination of all social elitism and all industries.  We would return to being equal beings in creation, with no industrial crutches.  Pure food, with no industrial toxins, pure water, with no industrial toxins, pure air, with no industrial toxins, pure equality among people, without industrial elites, pure compassion for all creatures, with no industrialists to subdue them or have dominion over them.  When these exist, we will have returned to the purity of the Ethiopic Book of Enoch.  When Jesus said "Be ye perfect even as your Parent in heaven is" (the Jesus of the Gospel of the Nazirenes was not sexist), he meant it, and that is why he not only retreated to, but lived in, the wilderness.  So too had Shiva the shatterer of cities) and his associates; so too had Moses and the Israelites lived in the Sinai wilderness, intent on arriving in Canaan, where other vegetarian tribes, devoted to Kannan (who is Vishnu or Krishna) lived similarly. So too many of the renunciates of history, whether Jain Buddhist, Brahmin, Buddhist, Sakti, Vaishna, or Shaivites, Rechabites, and Nabateans.

    We are at an impasse in our history.  The industrialists' power must be eliminated.  Their offenses against the Earth and its waters, air, and ground, and against the living flesh and blood creatures whom they oppress, displace, enslave, and kill have reached an intolerable level.  Those who separate the Mind and Intention of the Creator from Creation are fools.
 

The Industrial Nations of the World
and all who support them,
Are Inviting Divine Retribution.

    The global warming caused by industrialists causes a dramatic increase in the floods and storms throughout the earth.  Industrial toxins have tainted the very air we breathe and poisoned the waters that we could once drink from without fear.  And much of the ground of the earth has been dirtied with industries' filthy runoffs.   The industrial revolution has been a dramatic failure.  It has not increased the human life span by so much as five good years.  Far from making the world free of disease, industrial pollution has created more and new diseases.   Most people like to think the immense longevity of people living in  Old Testament times is a myth, even though there is adequate evidence, admitted by professors of Harvard and Princeton that vegetarian cultures in the Himalayas, Siberia, and Latin America live longer.  Because even vegetarians today have to live in a world contaminated by industry, we cannot logically expect the longevity of people today to match those of people in ancient times when industry, where it existed, was not so enormous a cancer on the body of the earth as it is now.
 

The Mind of Creation
Animal Sacrifices, Sodom and Gomorrah, and our Industrial World

    Just as Isaias likened those who sacrificed animals to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, and just as it was understood by Origen as well that animal sacrifices invited divine retribution, so too are the bloodbaths of slaughtered creatures that occur every day in the industrial nations especially an invitation to Creation to eliminate the industrial scum that contaminates it.
