A Tribute
 

From Dick Eastman

"I believe in one God, Creator of the Universe. That He governs it by His providence. That He ought to be worshipped. That the most acceptable service we render Him is doing good to His other children. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this. These I take to be the fundamental principles of all sound religion, and I regard them as you do in whatever sect I meet with them.


"As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of Morals and his Religion, as he left them to us, the best the World ever saw or is likely to see ..."
-- Benjamin Frankin

 

Every man is responsible to every other man.

 
All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
And the leaders of the world today talk eloquently about peace. Every time we drop our bombs in North Vietnam, President Johnson talks eloquently about peace. What is the problem? They are talking about peace as a distant goal, as an end we seek, but one day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means. All of this is saying that, in the final analysis, means and ends must cohere because the end is preexistent in the means, and ultimately destructive means cannot bring about constructive ends. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

 
 
Nonviolence is absolute commitment to the way of love. Love is not emotional bash; it is not empty sentimentalism. It is the active outpouring of one's whole being into the being of another. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.



The reason I can' t follow the old eye-for-an-eye philosophy is that it ends up leaving everyone blind. Somebody must have sense and somebody must have religion. I remember some years ago, my brother and I were driving from Atlanta to Chattanooga, Tennessee. And for some reason the drivers that night were very discourteous or they were forgetting to dim their lights...And finally A.D. looked over at me and he said, 'I'm tired of this now, and the next car that comes by here and refuses to dim the lights, I'm going to refuse to dim mine.' I said, 'Wait a minute, don't do that . Somebody has to have some sense on this highway.' And I'm saying the same thing for us here in Birmingham. We are moving up a mighty highway toward the city of Freedom. There will be meandering points. There will be curves and difficult moments, and we will be tempted to retaliate with the same kind of force that the opposition will use. But I'm going to say to you, 'Wait a minute, Birmingham. Somebody's got to have some sense in Birmingham.'
      --Martin Luther King, Jr., 3 May 1963
 
 
Let no man pull you low enough to hate him. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

On War:
 
I want to say one other challenge that we face is simply that we must find an alternative to war and bloodshed. Anyone who feels, and there are still a lot of people who feel that way, that war can solve the social problems facing mankind is sleeping through a great revolution. President Kennedy said on one occasion, "Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind." The world must hear this. I pray to God that America will hear this before it is too late, because today we’re fighting a war.

I am convinced that it is one of the most unjust wars that has ever been fought in the history of the world. Our involvement in the war in Vietnam has torn up the Geneva Accord. It has strengthened the military-industrial complex; it has strengthened the forces of reaction in our nation. It has put us against the self-determination of a vast majority of the Vietnamese people, and put us in the position of protecting a corrupt regime that is stacked against the poor.

It has played havoc with our domestic destinies. This day we are spending five hundred thousand dollars to kill every Vietcong soldier. Every time we kill one we spend about five hundred thousand dollars while we spend only fifty-three dollars a year for every person characterized as poverty-stricken in the so-called poverty program, which is not even a good skirmish against poverty.

Not only that, it has put us in a position of appearing to the world as an arrogant nation. And here we are ten thousand miles away from home fighting for the so-called freedom of the Vietnamese people when we have not even put our own house in order. And we force young black men and young white men to fight and kill in brutal solidarity. Yet when they come back home that can’t hardly live on the same block together.

The judgment of God is upon us today. And we could go right down the line and see that something must be done—and something must be done quickly. We have alienated ourselves from other nations so we end up morally and politically isolated in the world. There is not a single major ally of the United States of America that would dare send a troop to Vietnam, and so the only friends that we have now are a few client-nations like Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, and a few others.

This is where we are. "Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind," and the best way to start is to put an end to war in Vietnam, because if it continues, we will inevitably come to the point of confronting China which could lead the whole world to nuclear annihilation.

It is no longer a choice, my friends, between violence and nonviolence. It is either nonviolence or nonexistence. And the alternative to disarmament, the alternative to a greater suspension of nuclear tests, the alternative to strengthening the United Nations and thereby disarming the whole world, may well be a civilization plunged into the abyss of annihilation, and our earthly habitat would be transformed into an inferno that even the mind of Dante could not imagine.
     --Martin Luther King, Jr., Remaining Awake Through A Great Revolution
 


Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Segregation is the adultery of an illicit intercourse between injustice and immorality. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
More recently I have come to see the need for the method of nonviolence in international relations. Although I was not yet convinced of its efficacy in conflicts between nations, I felt that while war could never be a positive good, it could serve as a negative good by preventing the spread and growth of an evil force. War, horrible as it is, might be preferable to surrender to a totalitarian system. But now I believe that the potential destructiveness of modern weapons totally rules out the possibility of war ever again achieving a negative good. If we assume that mankind has a right to survive then we must find an alternative to war and destruction. "Don't ever let anyone pull you so low as to hate them. We must use the weapon of love. We must have the compassion and understanding for those who hate us. We must realize so many people are taught to hate us that they are not totally responsible for their hate. But we stand in life at midnight; we are always on the threshold of a new dawn." 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.

All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

The church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

Now, I say to you today my friends, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.' 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.


I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

...And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man.
Martin Luther King Jr., Speech in Memphis, April 3, 1968, the day before King was assassinated

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.


Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made of this world a neighborhood and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make of it a brotherhood. But somehow, and in some way, we have got to do this. We must all learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish together as fools. We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the way God’s universe is made; this is the way it is structured.

John Donne caught it years ago and placed it in graphic terms: "No man is an island entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." And he goes on toward the end to say, "Any man’s death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." We must see this, believe this, and live by it if we are to remain awake through a great revolution.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
World peace through nonviolent means is neither absurd nor unattainable. All other methods have failed. Thus we must begin anew. Nonviolence is a good starting point. Those of us who believe in this method can be voices of reason, sanity, and understanding amid the voices of violence, hatred, and emotion. We can very well set a mood of peace out of which a system of peace can be built. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.

A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
 
A riot is the language of the unheard.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of nuclear annihilation... I believe that even amid today's mortar bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow... I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed. 
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
Now the question that we face this evening is this: In the light of the fact that the oppressed people of the world are rising up against that oppression; in the light of the fact that the American Negro is rising up against his oppression, the question is this: How will the struggle for justice be waged? And I think that is one of the most important questions confronting our generation. As we move to make justice a reality on the international scale, as we move to make justice a reality in this nation, how will the struggle be waged? It seems to me that there are two possible answers to this question. One is to use the all to prevalent method of physical violence. And it is true that man throughout history has sought to achieve justice through violence. And we all know the danger of this method. It seems to create many more social problems than it solves. And it seems to me that in the struggle for justice that this method is ultimately futile. If the Negro succumbs to the temptation of using violence in his struggle for justice, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate life of bitterness, and his chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos. And there is still a voice crying into the vista of time saying to every potential Peter put up your sword. And history is replete with the bleached bones of nations and communities that failed to follow this command.

We must move past indecision to action. We must find new ways to speak for peace in Vietnam and for justice throughout the developing world, a world that borders on our doors. If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else? The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of practical realism. Far from being the pious injunction of a Utopian dreamer, love is an absolute necessity for the survival of our civilization. To return hate for hate does nothing but intensify the existence of evil in the universe. Someone must have sense enough and religion enough to cut off the chain of hate and evil, and this can only be done through love.

I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.

At Oslo I suggested that the philosophy and strategy of non-violence become immediately a subject for study and serious experimentation in every field of human conflict, including relations between nations. This was not, I believe, an unrealistic suggestion. World peace through non-violent means is neither absurd nor unattainable. All other methods have failed. Thus we must begin anew. Non-violence is a good starting point. Those of us who believe in this method can be voices of reason, sanity and understanding amid the voices of violence, hatred and emotion. We can very well set a mood of peace out of which a system of peace can be built. Racial injustice around the world. Poverty. War. When man solves these three great problems he will have squared his moral progress with his scientific progress. And more importantly, he will have learned the practical art of living in harmony.

       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
We have guided missiles and misguided men.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the postive affirmation of peace.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

We must use time creatively.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

We who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

We who in engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
.
Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.
       --Martin Luther King Jr.
 
 
In the Spirit of Martin Luther King Jr.:
 


Truth and non-violence are not cloistered virtues but applicable as much in the forum and the legislatures as in the market place.
     --Mahatma Gandhi


Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our very being.
     --Mahatma Gandhi


There is no way to peace; peace is the way.
     --A.J. Muste
The survival of democracy depends on the renunciation of violence and the development of nonviolent means to combat evil and advance the good.
     --A.J. Muste

Once one assumes an attitude of intolerance, there is no knowing where it will take one. Intolerance, someone has said, is violence to the intellect and hatred is violence to the heart.
     --Mahatma Gandhi 

Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
     --Mahatma Gandhi


I contend that non-violent acts exert pressure far more effective than violent acts, for the pressure comes from goodwill and gentleness.
     --Mahatma Gandhi



I believe that it is impossible to end hatred with hatred.
     --Mahatma Gandhi

 



 

 

The Greater Pledge



By Dick Eastman

2-7-09
....Cpl. Pat Tillman, who gave up a three million dollar
football career to enlist in our armed forces and avenge
"the attack on New York," the 9-11 false-flag
mass-murder deception perpetrated by international
Jewry and Communist China to provoke an American war
against Islam, only to be cut down himself by informed
"friendly fire" at a time when he was raising
lie-shattering questions in his unit about the mission
in Afghanistan and the true nature of the
ostensible enemy and our alleged "best friends."

 

How Obama fixes his mistakes --
He assured victim-family member Beverly Eckert
he would investigate her claims of 9-11 negligence.
Less than a week later she dies in a Continental Express
plane that suddenly nosedives  into a house
in Erie Country, New York.

.....
On Feb. 6, 2009 Beverly Eckert and other
family members of 9-11 victims met with
President at the Executive Office building
in Washington DC.  Present were victims
of both the USS Cole bombing and the
9-11 mass-murder with crash-bombings
and planted explosives. 
Obama assured her --  see picture -- that
he would prosecute anything that
she could present...Read More

"The Dream" Revisited
by Jim Kirwan
...Martin Luther King Jr., was a man
of visions and determination, a man
willing to put his body, his life and
his ideas on the line to change
the course of America’s Dream
of equality and Justice for all her people.
His life was his story, and toward
the end of it King was able to sum up
much of what has gone very-wrong with
this country and consequently the world
that is now cringing on the edge of oblivion.

Gareth "Gary" L. Wean:
The Connection (1997)

Preface by Dick Eastman

...Let this information be the Rosetta Stone
for deciphering the new sub-conspiracies
coming down the pike. Better still, let it be 
a silver bullet we can use to finish this
network of evil once and for all
all around the world...

-- This is our Common Ground!


By Dick Eastman -- 11-1-8
.....It's not that someone is out to enslave you.
You have already been enslaved. A syndicate
of international financiers and national dictators
have already taken over the world and consolidated
their power over it. Now having taken over they are
in the process of looting everyone.
Their power over us is complete to the point
where they no longer have to be convincing in their
deceptions. They impose their government on us,
the charade of a democratic system need no longer
be convincing -- no one has the intelligence or power
or organization or leadership to do anything about it,
all of the components making such resistance possible
have been carefully dismantled.....
