CONWAY — On Saturday, June 14, residents of the Mount Washington Valley and nearby communities will join what is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since Donald Trump returned to office — a mass, nationwide protest rejecting authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics and militarized assaults on the constitutional order. A group of concerned citizens calling themselves The MWV Resistance is organizing the event, echoing the nationwide “No Kings/No Clowns” day of defiance.

The “No Kings/No Clowns” mobilization is in response to Trump’s self-promoting $100 million military parade, the first in the nation’s 250 years — and his birthday celebration — an event funded by taxpayer dollars while millions are being told there is no money for Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, education or veteran services.

In the sadly little known book by Charles Patterson, Eternal Treblinka, Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust, we are taught what history lessons ignore, historians leave out, and education which has become assimilation into this disposable society, never even considered.

The book is one of several that explore the earliest origins of the foundation of abuse of power, domination, oppression, subjugation, male and human superiority complex from how humans learned the behaviors that would become the cemented in pathological normal upon which the human condition was shaped.

The " domestication " of wild animals into the first victims of human supremacy and catalyst of what economic growth systems took root from, using animals as products and property, is still ingrained in capitalism and brought out the lowest version of humanity.

In a world that looks at nature, Creation ,life, as our disposable commodity, a world of many religions void of the highest spiritual connection with nature being destroyed by humans with total disregard and irrelevant selfish lack of understanding of every species task in the interconnected and imperative biodiversity required for the health and survival of all life that took billions of years to evolve, human supremacy, what we are now victims of, has created this unnatural order author Jim Mason writes about in his book, An Unnatural Order, Why We Are Destroying Ourselves and the Planet.

Trump is a symptom, like all degenerative disease. The mutation that resulted in this tumor were dealing with, we ALL subscribed to and helped create. Peace and prosperity through the unlimited accumulation of wealth, Plato warned of long ago.

Peace and prosperity through destroying nature as GDP, puts us all on the mental illness spectrum. A disposable consumer driven economy built what we have. We ALL helped create the oligarchs and now suffer the results of our own making. The World Peace Diet by Will Tuttle, reflects similarities between accepting violence to nature and non-human beings to the grand desensitization that is required to accept what occurs in 24,000 factory concentration camps called farms 2850 USDA slaughterhouses, that, for zero nutritional requirement barbarically dismember 11 billion farmed animals annually. The state we find ourselves in is the combination of unbridled capitalism with no reverence for nature being exploited by humans for humans,or the wise understanding that EVERY species is here WITH us, not as our consumable.

It will require a seachange in behaviors to heal what thousands of years of human supremacy have created. Look up the books. Learn the infrastructure of violence in society from its earliest seed.
