General George S. Patton, Jr.: A Weather Prayer, For All Seasons

When I travelled around America trying environmental and nuclear whistleblower cases, 1990-2004, I would sometimes type up and print out this prayer in large type, leaving it on my counsel table as I cross-examined assorted sordid Little Hitlers oppressing my clients, at intellectually impoverished employers like Tennessee Valley Authority, Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, Lockheed Martin, Southern California Edison and Public Service Electric Y Gas of New Jersey:,





General Patton's Prayer Before Bastogne, Written by Fr. James Hugh O'Neill

  1. Why a war metaphor directed to a fantasy?

    A fantasy that in great part has been co-opted by xtrevilism to create and sustain its privileged position in its crumbunist system — an immoral caste system that keeps all of us in a forced complicity that we must pretend to like.

    Maybe a little John Lennon might be more combative yet more inspirational?

    Imagine there's no heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people living for today
    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope some day you'll join us
    And the world will be as one
    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope some day you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

    Keep hammering Ed!
