THE VICTORS WRITE HISTORY
THE VICTORS WRITE SCRIPTURES.
THE RICH WRITE
YOUR CURRICULUM TOO.
The victors we know write
history;
The victors write the
scriptures too;
They program what you
watch on TV
And all the lies
about what's good and evil
That you learn in school.
The rich have scriptures
that justify slaughter;
The rich have scriptures
that justify hate;
The rich have religions
that say they have the right
To subdue the earth,
create terror among creatures,
And, among other humans,
to dominate.
Carnivorous religions
say they pray
To a god of pure infinite
love
Who wants them nonetheless
to eat the corpses,
Of brutally oppressed,
exploited, enslaved,
Murdered flesh and blood.
Since being killed is
bloody and painful for animals,
And eating cholesterol
is no good for you,
How can slaughtering
animals and eating their corpses
Be something you would
morally, or nutritionally, pursue?
Orthodox Judaism, Christianity
and Islam
Are all cattleman religions:.
They kill the animals
and feed you their flesh
And as your blood gets
thick with animal fat
And you get sick by that,
They and their meat industries
get rich.
The orthodox are brutal;
they are uncaring.
Other creatures' lives--they
are unsparing--
Their scriptures say
all foods are clean,
Their god's not too bright
if you know what I mean.
Though they say love your
neighbor as your self,
Such an attitude, in
reality, would breed equality!
Instead they create societies
of rich and poor,
Breeding envy and jealousy,
violence, rebellion,
brutal and bloody misery.
And these orthodox
religions believe in slavery,
That not all humans deserve
full liberty--
But tell me my friend,
if you were the slave,
Wouldn't you fight to
the death against such evil,
In order to be free?
If we're ever going to
have peace on earth,
There are evils we must
eliminate,
The force of those who
say they have the right
To subdue the earth and
dominate.
Jesus said the Devil was
the Father of Lies,
And being masked as God
is the Devil's disguise,
Many scriptures in the
Torah, the Gospels and Koran,
Weren't inspired by God,
but were written
By greedy and evil businessmen.
Carnivorous religions
are conquering religions:
Unlike the Way of the
Buddhist and Hindu.
They are constant imperialists
who invade other nations,
And history proves that
this is true.
And now we have the statistics
to show
What has been known by
the pure since ancient times
That cultures that have
violent diets
Have far more violent
crimes.
The victors we know write
history;
The victors write the
scriptures too;
They program what you
watch on TV
And all the lies, about
what's good and evil,
That you learn in school.
<><><>
When you say don't lay
Your vegetarian trip
on me,
Your logic doesn't stand,
it falls;
For you're the one laying
a trip
Of oppression and death
On other animals.
<><><>
Worshipping the devil
is so sweet;
Everyday you get a corpse
to eat.
But just so people don't
think we're odd,
We don't call the devil,
devil,
We call the devil God.
<><><>
Jesus said the devil was
the father of lies,
And being masked as God
is the devil's best disguise.
Much of the Old and New
Testament and Koran
Weren't inspired by God,
but were written
by greedy, evil, lying
businessmen.
<><><>
You say judge not that
you may not be judged,
Well then I ask you why
You judge that other
animals
Should suffer for you
and die.

LEGACY OF LIES
Our history holds a lot
of people up as models,
But if we look a little
further,
It's obvious these supposedly
good people were involved
Wit oppression, slavery
and murder.
Columbus oppressed and
killed natives from the beginning:
He dismembered them in
front of their families,
He took them for slaves
to be sold--
In his Christian mind
Indians were inferior--
Yet honor Columbus we
are told.
Washington, Jefferson,
other founding fathers,
Said so many things about
equality,
While oppressing natives
and enslaving blacks,
While practicing slavery.
Millions of African slaves
were brought
Forcefully to this country's
shore,
While slave holders quoted
Koran and the Bible
and so-called St. Paul
to defend
Their oppression and
slavery, their bloody gore.
And when Lincoln supposedly
freed the slaves,
Blacks in the Union army
still weren't given equal rank or pay,
And while the U.S. Cavalry
was murdering natives in the West,
President Lincoln said
it was okay.
After the civil war land
was given
Mostly to the rich and
not the poor,
Blacks became tenant
farmers and had to
Work for the rich once
more.
And battle after battle,
treaty after treaty,
Indians lands shrank
to their reservations,
While priests and ministers
and their scriptures exclaimed:
The pagan deserves subordination.
In world War 1 equal rank
or pay
Weren't given to black
soldiers or red--
when they returned from
the war, they were unequal still,
No matter what the lying
media said.
And in World War 2 president
Roosevelt made
This nation's racism
easy to see:
The Japanese were jailed
in detention camps,
While most Germans and
Italians walked free--
[Hey, we were fighting
all three!]
And our government now
supports dictators south of the border
in Guatemala and
Chiapas and Columbia,
Against whom the people
have rebelled.
Our rich people and their
rich people
Treat the dissidents
like hell.
The vast majority of Christian
cultures
Have defended sexism
and slavery.
"Wives obey your husbands;
slaves obey your masters,"
Is in the New Testament
for all to see.
Faced with such scriptures,
when believers reply:
Those scriptures fit
the time--they're not eternal truth,
They don't want to admit
that what they're saying
Is that the Bible's words
are not absolute.
"The poor you will always
have with you,"
Yet "The meek will inherit
the earth."
The rich quote one, the
poor quote the other--
What is such confusion
worth?
How inspired are scriptures
so confused
That it's not obvious
to see
A creator of perfect
love would want not only every human,
But every creature to
be happy and free.
Of all the "religious"
views on the earth,
Few are so vicious, so
immoral, or odd,
As those which say that
oppressing other beings,
Other humans or other
animals,
Is desired by an all-loving
god.
Down with all governments
and religions,
Telling their people
they are elite;
Down with all the enemies
of
Total equality.
Equality breeds contentment;
Inequality resentment.

PROOF THAT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS BIGOTED:
The Knights of Columbus
Honors a Known Persecutor of Indigenous People.
This is a Public Confirmation
of the Bigotry of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Knights of Columbus, a Roman Catholic organization, named themselves after Christopher Columbus, a known persecutor of indigenous people. Upon arrival at Turtle Island, i.e. the New World to European invaders, Christopher Columbus had members of the Aruack tribe dismembered, in front of their own family members, no less. He took indigenous people as slaves as well. He, like the many Christian slave-holders that came later, who brutalized millions of Africans, accepted the enslavement of others as something that was sanctioned in the New Testament, such as Paul' scriptures saying "Slaves obey your masters" in "Romans."
Christopher Columbus was ostensibly Roman Catholic, though some sources say he might have been born Jewish. The Old Testament like the New Testament and Koran also supports the institution of slavery.
The reader should be made aware, however, that there are pure remnants of non orthodox Jews, Christians and Muslims who are egalitarian and vegetarian, and who despise the despicable institution of slavery. Because their numbers have been small, their criticisms of the rich elite who run the orthodoxies of their religions fall on deaf ears.
For a truthful
summary of Columbus' treatment of the Aruack natives, see
A People's History
of the United States, by Howard Zinn, the best
The Bible
Of all the printed books
in the world,
The Bible has been printed
more.
And the earth now has
greater problems
Than it's ever had before.
To Fundamentalist Christians:
Can it be real?
Can it be true?
That people are going
to hell
Though they're nicer
than you?
I don't eat animals
Who've been brutally
killed,
But you say it's okay:
It's even God's will.
I do my best not to pollute
The sacred earth, the
sacred air,
and the sacred water,
But you say it's okay
to do so--
You've been even given
permission
By your (not so) heavenly
father.
You say you have a personal
Relationship with Jesus,
But everyday it seems
The list of your offenses
against the earth and
its creatures
increases.
Are you being God's or
the devil's steward,
And what really is your
idea of stewardship worth?,
As your industries oppress,
displace and murder,
The creatures of the
earth?
For everyday your industries
kill creatures,
And pollute the air and
sea and land,
And everyday you put
a corpse on your plate,
Because some cunning
businessman
Paid writers to write
verses in the Bible that say
God himself said it was
okay
To subdue and dominate.
If we took a survey,
And you know it's true,
We would find that
No one wants to be dominated
Or subdued.
That businessmen wrote
Many of your scriptures,
You say is sacrilegious--
You won't accept that.
But that the victors
write history,
You know is a fact,
Because you accuse your
enemies
of doing exactly that.
We all know how you separate
Truth from Fiction:
Truth is whatever
Supports your addiction.
To kill the animal
to get the corpse that
you eat
Involves acts that are
bloody
And acts that are mean,
And some of your scriptures
are so insane
They say an all-loving
God
Says such bloody and
unhealthy foods are clean.
It doesn't really take
a lot of acumen
To know such ignorant
scriptures
were created by brutal
and greedy
businessmen.
Since your diet and life
style
Promote brutality towards
God's creatures
and a multitude of diseases--
Exactly what good is
your believing
In the name of Jesus?
Though you insist your
god is love,
You read your Bible and
you say
That slaughter and slavery
Gender bias and sexism
And pollution are okay.
Where did your logic come from anyway?
How can your logic be
associated
With the heavenly state
When it promotes so many
Different kinds of hate?
Until you come around
To a morality that's
better,
I say your god's a demon,
And doesn't deserve
a capitol letter.
Can it be real?
Can it be true?
That people are going
to hell
Though they're nicer
than you?
You'll probably answer:
Yes they are going to
hell,
Though it doesn't take
an oracle
To know my questions
above
Are simply rhetorical.
So, you Christian fundamentalists,
And you Roman Catholics
too,
And all you Christians
who believe
You have the only religion
that's true,
Why don't you just
Go into the wilderness
as your master did,
Be quiet there and fast
and pray,
and meditate,
And ask the Divine Power
To clear your spirit
of confusion and hate?
To claim your God is All-loving
Means your God loves
every being,
And in order for you
to be loving too
You yourself have got
to do
the very same thing.
In short:
Since scriptures in your
New Testament
Promote the evils of
slavery,
Resentment-breeding economic
elitism,
Gender bias,
sexism,
Religious wars,
Brutality towards animals,
And cholesterol based
diseases,
Tell me exactly
what good is accomplished
By your believing
In the name of Jesus?
You are of the lineage
Of those who supported
the Inquisition,
And what you call religion,
Is simply the ideology
of those who in denial
Who share the same addictions
and superstitions.
CONDITIONING BY
THE MEDIA
THE
GOVERNMENT, THE RELIGIONS, THE SCHOOLS
If we're taught over and
over again
That what is right is
wrong,
And if we're taught the
very same thing
By every group to which
we belong,
Then we can be like Nazis
under Hitler,
Spellbound by the constant
Nazi word,
Driven by repeated Nazi
rhetoric,
Conditioned to be absurd.
THE DRAFT
When we go into the military
We take an oath to be
a slave,
To follow our commanding
officer,
And he may lead us to
the grave.
And the government doesn't
give a damn
What we ourselves believe;
When industrialists want
to control new lands,
We've got to kill and
maybe die for industry.
It doesn't matter what
you believe--
If we're at war, you've
gotta go;
You may say you believe
in the land of the free,
But if you don't agree
with the war, where did your freedom go?
U. S. Industrialists helped
Hitler to rise to power,
Sold Japan gas and iron
used in World War II,
And helped the Soviets
make weapons used
In the Korean and Vietnam
Wars, it's true.
Yes, the Rockerfellers,
Mellons, Du Ponts and Fords,
Have helped shed a lot
of blood and gore,
And even helped to kill
their own country's soldiers
In the Korean and Vietnam
wars.
Selling arms to Iran to
help the contras--
Nothing new for the weapons
industry.
The more weapons sold
the richer they get--
That's as far as the
bloody rich care to see.
We invaded and killed
the Buddhists of Korea,
We invaded and killed
the Buddhists of Vietnam.
Now we're in the Persian
Gulf and Afghanistan,
Invading and killing
the people of Islam.
Three hundred thousand
killed in the bombing of Baghdad;
Sanctions have killed
a million more.
Orthodox Christians killing
Muslims,
A very old, a very ancient,
religious war.
And when some Muslims
retaliate,
In a spectacular act
of reprisal,
Our Media plays dumb,
and says "Why are they mad?"
And programs patriots
to be in denial.
In wars industrialists
got us into,
Millions have been injured,
millions killed,
Not for freedom, not
for liberty,
But so the banks of industrialists
could be filled.
Yes, the rich industrialists
of the United States,
Like the rich elite of
other industrial nations,
Have helped to shed their
own people's gore;
They conscripted the
soldiers of their own country to fight,
While they provided their
enemies with the weapons of war.
Isn't it time that all
people loving freedom
Made sure that people
like this
Do not have power any
more?

The Works of John
Sutton,
from the Hoover Institute,
Palo Alto.
Sutton's works should
be found in most large libraries.
John Sutton's body of research is a relatively unexamined source, for good reasons. The elite industrialists of the United States do not want to have their hypocrisy exposed, the fact that they have encouraged the people of their nation to go to war, and have profitted from those wars, by selling war material to both sides, to their own countries, and to the nations against whom their country was fighting.
The work of John Sutton from the Hoover Institute documents the involvement of U.S. industries in helping our then enemy Russia to make munitions and munition systems used against U.S. forces in both the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Sutton was a patriotic Republican citizen who could in no way be accused of iconoclasm. He simply wanted the U.S. industrialists to be consistent in not helping the "enemy" then to kill U.S. soldiers. Sutton's pleas to his own party went unheeded.
While
most people I associate with realistically see the term "moral Republican"
as an oxymoron, John Sutton was an exception to the rule. So too, Ted Turner's
recent analysis of the events of September 11, 2001, show that a few, even
among the wealthy, a very few, however, still have a conscience.
The Sacrament of Satan
Where is there justice?...
The slaughterer of cows
Is not trampled by bovine
hooves...
The eater of pork is
not gored
By the tusks of the boar.
As cannibals ate their
enemies to gain their strength,
So is murdered flesh
is the most addictive of drugs in tune with
Power over the animal,
a once living beast,
Now dead, and you with
spear ax gun sledge hammer knife fork
Hovering over it...your
heart inwardly pounding your chest,
Your heart shouting that
you are more powerful
Or at least more crafty,
Than the once living
being lying under you...
Lying on your dish a
mandala...death at the center.
Your power is the rage
of your ego:
Your self crying out
it is better
Than what is around it.
Your ego prods you.
You deserve to dominate,
to subdue the earth.
Ah yes, you are the champion
bullfighter,
The best baseball football
basketball soccer player in the world;
You are the world's most
powerful boxer, wrestler,
Best president, most
powerful general,
The richest industrialist
controlling the greatest number of wage slaves.
You are the greatest
of the behindthescenes rich men
Controlling the masses
of the world.
Your command kills more
than any other, you cause the most misery...
You are the emperor of
evil!
You are the strongest,
the handsomest, the richest
And therefore your reward:
Perfumed bodies, smooth
legs spread...ahhh.
But your potency fails
as you age,
Your muscles and hardons
and other organs diminish in power,
Though your bad moods
anxiety despair are erect
And at attention,
while the bodies of your
gentler brothers and sisters
Persist longer in their
health and strength.
For the circulation of
justice is as smooth
as the movement of blood
through the body...
Conspiring, lungs breathe
in together the tiny toxins of death...
the brain absorbs miniscule
pollutants,
like pinpoints of murderous
thought,
and gradually, by degrees,
the poisons accumulate,
and the body commits
its oh so slow but inevitable suicide:
little lumps of fat goo
and matter
from the enslaved and
slaughtered and dismembered ones
move slowly and oh so
subtly in the bloodstream,
clogging and poisoning
a kidney here, a liver there,
a gall bladder in another...in
those who would not filter right from wrong,
the heart in another...who
would not extend compassion to the other animals...
arthritis in that one
who would not let the animals move freely,
cataracts in those who
refuse to look at the atrocities...
and deafness in those
who would not hear
the moans and horror
of the slaughterhouse...
And as the little globules
of cholesterol
Intrude and settle here
and there in your body,
And your health prematurely
declines,
And Death stands over
you,
As you stood over other
animals--
Perhaps the spear of
death this lifetime is cancer
or heart trouble,
diabetes, kidney failure--
Death speaks to you and
says: YOU chose me:
The temple of your body
digested death,
Made death a part of
your bloodstream,
Feeding every cell in
your brain and heart and soul.
So now, tell me, as you
watch the animals
Bellowing against the
prod,
Goaded down chutes to
the slaughterhouses,
As you watch their throats
being slit,
Their bodies cut in half,
their necks twisted,
Or their mangled and
murdered bodies in the killing fields of industry,
Tell me, tell me again!
that your god is all-compassionate and loving,
Tell me that you or those
you listen to,
Have not corrupted the
original words of purity
Of Moses and Jesus and
Mohammed,
All of whom frequently
retreated into the wilderness
To fast and be with God;
And as you explain why
you daily put the corpse of a murdered animal
Into the temple of your
body,
Listen carefully to yourself
As you explain how you
are not devoted to a demon
Who desires pain and
death for other creatures,
And remember...
that Deity is just.
For those who do not listen
to love,
Death is as inevitable
as birth,
As inevitable as having
to come again and again,
Until the lesson is learned,
Into a world like the
earth,
A world of terror and
deceit
And a life that for you
is a living death.
The circulation of justice
is as smooth
as the movement of blood
through the body...
A fluffy poem about stuffed animals
(Inspired by Ginsberg's ghost)
Orthodox theologians are
humptydumpty eggheads falling off their walls,
breaking their shells,
revealing the yolk and the joke that they are.
Orthodox theologians in
straight jackets and ties dictate to the world that
infinite love is murder,
and MacDonalds, Burger King, Hardy's, Wendy's, and
other giant fast food
chains grant money to the universities and their
theologians, to constantly
say the same.
I know that you say you're
repulsed by devils' cults, but how do you
explain the established
insanity of putting the corpse of a once living being
on your dish, eating
it, making it part of your mindbody structure, and
saying you're devoted
to god, not the devil?
(They sell Brooklyn Bridges
to themselves, expressways to hell they give you
scholarships to ride
on. Misery loves company so let's all go to hell
together is their motto.)
They eat corpses together
at deathfeasts. Their comradeship is carrion.
Walking graves, flesh
coffins for the corpses of beasts, death
is their vision, imperialism
their method, they rule every corpse they've
eaten, every slave they
hire to inflict the injuries of industry.
To their closest accomplices
they say you'll be dressed as the best, and
we'll nicely spice the
carcass so you won't taste the waste of the place that
was your soul.
You are a cemetery of
sentient beings, your unrest is the grieving of those
you damned to oppression
and slaughter. Your depression and despair the
sorrow of those whom
you doomed to die. They are buried in your ground of
being. A field
that could be unified is DISunited. You are a decreation, a house
divided against itself, a darling of Beelzebub.
(I have faith that a god
of infinite love is in my pork chop, my hamburger,
my chicken, my fish.
I am not good at logic, but I can yell Jehovah or Jesus or Allah with the
best of them.)
I love you God--I kill
you cow. I love you Lord--I stab you sow.
What the dickens--kill
the chickens. I get my wish--I suffocate fish.
A little voice is saying:
You say eating
corpses is healthy;
You pay someone
to murder every day.
And you don't understand
that you feel bad
Because
your crimes do not pay.
My body is the temple
of slaughter and oppression. I subdue and I have
dominion over the creatures
of the earth, their blood on my slaughterhouse
altar is my proof, their
corpses my nutrition literally make up my being.
I am a walking character
of corpses; it is I who teach you at the
universities; it is I
who preach to you in church and synagogue and mosque
and other temples affirming
slavery and slaughter. Look in the mirror and
see my demonology at
work.
Cholesterol junkies rule
the world. Trophies and plaques of dominion,
cholesterol plaque in
the brain and heart.
I am the president of hell, with the military to back me, saying slaves obey your masters, die so we rich can be richer, die for tin, die for coal, die for oil, patriot die for the state. As cows and pigs and chickens and fish have died for you, so you shall die for the rich, the hierarchy of dominion goes on and on. The blood of the masses is my expense account.
I am the devil masked
as God and the condition of the world is proof that I rule.
Worshiping the devil is so sweet.
Everyday you get a corpse to eat.
But just so people don't think we're odd,
We don't call the devil,
We call the devil god.
