It is now time for us to put the least amongst us, at the head of the banquet table. It is time to launch an exceptionally noble domestic endeavor that perfectly compliments America’s endeavor to be that city upon a hill to which all other nations look upon with admiration. It is time to put the ideal that humanity can collectively morally progress into physical action! Let us make Spokane Washington the locus from whence change changes the course of humanity.

Is this too grand of a vision? I don’t believe so! Change must start from each individual, and spread through the community, and from the community to the world at large; but a community is only as strong as its weakest link!

Us citizens of Spokane must demand a chunk of that Obamanomics money and immediately invest in a social engineering project that will not only make Spokane truly a great place to live, but perhaps, aye, the Lord willing, will provide a living ideal unto which every community of this world would strive to emulate. Great changes will only occur when great change happens. A Great Awakening beckons, spiritually derived, secularly applied, manifesting in individual lives choosing to do unto the other as they would be done by: we could call our noble endeavor the Trinity Project! As follows:

1) Officially the United States of America is 183 years overdue for declaring a year of Jubilee. The city and county of Spokane has the opportunity of atoning for this grave injustice by establishing a sanctuary to where all citizens who wish to participate may seek refuge. We should be freely given an ample expanse of land on which we can build our homes, schools, stores, farms, and medical facilities. All people who wish to participate in this noble endeavor must be freed from the persecution of debt collectors, whether public or private, as long as said individuals remain in our sanctuary, or, if you will, in our Holy Land. The land, structures, and accoutrements produced or procured for our sanctuary shall be communally owned with our democratically elected representative ruling council administering our operations. The street people, the working poor, the “refuse of society” throughout the greater Spokane community, shall be first received into our sanctuary, while those of greater societal standing and economic means shall be considered as space and opportunity permit. Plainly, people who want to keep their silver and gold and yachts’ need not apply.

American tax-payers have spent hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars to bail out gigantic bankers, insurers, and mortgage companies, those “too big to fail” institutions whose sole purpose is to make money, while the blue-collar workers get outsourced, and the poor get crushed underfoot. There are far greater goals to be accomplished in this life other than making money! Now is the time to bail-out the poorest among us who are too small, and unincorporated, to succeed! The super-rich get their unjust Jubilee every decade; the poor of this nation simply are foreclosed on. It is time for change.

2) The industry, the opportunity, and most importantly, the hope, that Jubilee would not only instill in the poor and working-class, would also, ideally, ramify upwards into the upper-classes; who by seeing that providing legitimate opportunity to the least does in the long run “pay off” for us all. Seeing the formerly “hopeless” and impoverished, of spirit and physical means, industriously engaging in building, in caring, and in learning, can do nothing but instill ingenuity and creativity in all segments of our population. Striving to uplift the least amongst us enriches us all in ways money can never measure. Besides, what else do we have to lose? Invest in the poor, and maybe lose some money, or give another trillion dollars to international bankers hoping that will loosen up some credit so people can spend more money? Their “trickle-down economics” have abysmally failed, and their Keynesian economics have been hijacked by “special” interests, earmarking, and war profiteers, and with this government true “free”-trade libertarianism is impossible. It has been said that the first Puritans chose to starve rather than choosing to be their brother’s keeper, yet after Christ was crucified that is exactly how the apostle led Christians lived until they too were persecuted unto death.

It has been 400 years since the founding of Jamestown, and it is time to once again set the people free. We have the opportunity to found a colony in a completely peaceful manner, to erect a city upon a hill free of the blood of tyrants and patriots: it is time to once more undertake the noble endeavor of bettering humankind. The time for change is now, and the opportunity presents itself to us at this very moment! In this year of Jubilee we can create a Holy Land, a land untainted by bloody conquest, right here in Spokane Washington. Who knows, maybe it will become contagious . . .

What do we have to lose? In the least we will simply create jobs, at the best, only the Lord knows what could happen!

3) We have the opportunity to try the aforementioned first two steps, creating a sanctuary for the poor in which we can collectively strive to live like the first generation of believers, right here in Spokane county and with our fellow American citizens blessing. There can be no higher of a noble endeavor. And I believe it is only through this endeavor, this noble experiment, that we shall ever have a chance of bringing about a greater good than the evil that is unleashed into the world by the tragic death of innocents like our precious Izayah Denison! This is not trickle-up economics, socialism, corporate Keynesianism, or any other sort of “ism”; this is simply giving physical likeness to an immaterial image. We can search the world over for monsters to destroy, all the while being blinded by the beam in our eye that prevents us from seeing the evil in our midst; and that evil can only be overcome by the capstone of salvation that cannot be bought with money, but by faith alone in a higher power who declares that physical dispossession is required for perfection.

Indeed, the grace of faith is manifest in love, and love is freely choosing to serve the other.

Creating a selfless self-sufficient community within a nation of “inherently” selfish consumerism would be far more than a noble experiment, if successful, it would be nothing less than a miracle; a miracle that perhaps even an omniscient God who looked away may not have seen coming. Creating public works programs, giving bankers more money, extending credit limits, etc., is all fine and dandy, but it is nothing new, it is only another attempt at keeping the money flowing; but instituting the year of Jubilee for the poor and otherwise economically bankrupt has never been honored since the creation of this great nation . . .

It may actually create a greater good we have never witnessed in the history of humankind.

Our only “job” in this world is to create something better, to create a greater good from the great evil that exists. Change starts from within each and every one of our hearts, great change occurs when our hearts are united, after that we become New Spokane.

pax vobiscum
