That is the victory, the only worthy atonement for premeditated war committed in your name.

==Letter VI==
 +
Americans!
 +
 +
You are now slaves to war, put there into ceaseless servitude
 +
by less than a dozen men.
 +
 +
How could this be so?
 +
 +
How could this possibly befall a free people? Or had you
 +
slept away your freedom?
 +
 +
You seem to be totally powerless in the face of your
 +
supposedly elected representatives to free yourselves from
 +
any calamity – spiritual or natural. You can organize vast road
 +
systems and communication systems. Have you lost your eternal
 +
common system the human soul amid the buzzing business of
 +
your supposedly beneficent marketplace?
 +
 +
Where are you, Americans?
 +
 +
The world needs you to awaken again. Your most powerful
 +
and important political tool is your local living community. It is
 +
the only communal vessel where you can make your personal
 +
and collective intelligence strong enough and wise enough to start
 +
turning the new rudderless terrifying ships of state toward their
 +
only safe harbors of human wisdom and compassion.
 +
 +
Your voice is a whisper in a windstorm of confusion until you
 +
join it with your neighbors. If you cannot rise up in future health
 +
together, you will all suffer toward extinction alone. For extinction
 +
is the drumbeat now within the whole planetary family of life, and
 +
humans are the drummers of oblivion.
 +
 +
America does not mean sleeping through senseless murder.
 +
America means love. Rise up, dear Americans.
