Hello Good Folks,
I'm new in this group, and new in Extinction Rebellion. Thank you for being here, and for being woke, and for making me welcome.
I'm an old man age 72 in New England U.S.A. We were a very science-oriented family when I was a kid, and that was before the big cover-up campaign began, so I've seen Global Warming coming at us my whole adult life, for six decades now.
If I have recreated the date exactly, it was the autumn of 1958 and I was age 12, beginning middle school, where the difficulty of school work picked up pace. Luckily I had an older brother. I got a homework assignment to find some science story in the news and write a report on it, and asked my brother for good suggestions.
It was an article he had just finished reading a few moments before in Scientific American Magazine. He turned the pages back to it, and flipped the magazine around for me to read.
It was about the world's great ocean currents, doing the calculations for one particular great ocean current as an example, saying they would probably be utterly disrupted by Global Warming, if Global Warming were not stopped.
I don't know if the 1958 particular math and prediction will turn out true, but the general principle has certainly become a fact before my watching eyes.
My brother age 14 had found the article, flipped it around to me, tapped it with a finger, and said “This looks like it might be important.” So somewhere in the ethersphere there is a middle school paper on that exact topic, with a colored pencil diagram copied from the magazine filling the top half of its page 2.
In those six decades since, I've been a very passionate whole-life type of activist artist, an artist of several disciplines, basically just trying to respond to the rushing catastrophe in all sorts of ways.
My latest self-published paperback book, in a long line of them, focuses the lens on militarist aspects of the death of Living Earth, trying to use artistic writing as some succor for people struggling with the militarist aspects of it.
The new book's title is “Army Stories Performance Script” and its subtitle is “A Peace Revolution Chaplain's Book”. It is shaped as yet another experimental romance novel, Gods help us.
Anyone can download a free complete pdf file here... www.stoneriley.com/armystories
You can also pay for ink and paper, and order a paperback copy.
I hope someone finds it is a help for them. Also, if you look at the thing, then any comments that you have are very welcome. Maybe someone will even write a book review that I could use in my self-publishing publicity effort???
Why militarist things this time? Reason One: I've always seen Modern Militarism as hand in hand with Global Warming, both being inevitable consequences of Modern Society's insane lust to conquer everything.
Secondly, the whole first decade of my manhood was in circumstances full of active warring revolutions everywhere against established powers worldwide. So I certainly must enlist somewhere as some kind of soldier. I chose to be a self-appointed Field Chaplain on the revolution side.
So with this book now I finally maybe worked that through, becoming finally wise enough to quit soldiering in the last chapter.
Thank you very much for reading this all the way here to the end.
Sacred Blessings to you all.
