IS FREE SPEECH IS GONE, HAVE THE EXTORTIONISTS WON?
Who am I and why do I say that?
I am a sage a sapient. I started working on accumulating information and developing wisdom around 6 but didn’t find out why until I was about 12 or 13.
Or I should say that when I read what Jesus said about wisdom it solidified my commitment to that choice as a life goal.
I am ageless, but chronologically 60+ now.
I have no intermediaries! Beware of the common criminals of our species, they spend their hours, days, weeks, months, years and lives looking for people to rob.
Contact me directly, if you can!
I apologize that much of this website is poorly written. Change is hard and some of my journalistic investigations have put me under the gun of stubborn ignorance. And please believe me, the most dangerous thing in this world is ignorance, only the lazy and ignorant want to suppress the truth! Making them dangerous not us!
And at a time when lazy and incompetent people can con the people that we depend on for our safety, con them to help destroy our rights to privacy and our God given human dignity by using our networks to steal our dignity because they want some advantage or they actually have lost their minds and think they are God, or they are cowards, corrupt or to incompetent to actually communicate.
Scary times, what or why are they hiding?
Are We Civilized Yet?
What started as a website about “Greed is a Mental Illness” based on an article I republished and then wrote about 10 years ago when the Google search results for is greed a mental illness had almost no results. Greed is a Mental Illness
After many years I suppose this website is now about dishonest cowards and how they destroy the lives of good people and even the countries of good people.
Whether it was a basketball coach that was allowed to legitimize brutality for money or a gang of politicians starting a war for billions in profits.
My goal was to look for social results at different levels and sure enough the bigger effect of the actions was the duplication of the actions by smaller groups and people doing everything from child and spousal abuse, to drugging people and lethal white collar crimes.
From idiotic people to sophisticated sadistic people, many use the unjustifiable actions that are protected because there is profit in them to duplicate our New and Improved; “Approved Predatory Behavior”!
And please don’t co mingle the word achievement in there, we love and need achievements. But the era of masking greedy sadistic debauchery and harming millions of lives as an achievement because money was earned is an era that we need to end.
So I guess things have changed and so have we. Or is humanity destined to self destruct.
What you find on this website are just tiny opinions or perspectives derived as a result of someone actions or activities.
It is no one’s business what you think except hopefully that YOU DO THINK!
To Manifest a Civilized World…first Recognize the problems created by greed, corruption, mental illness, incompetence and ignorance.
Are We Civilized Yet? or Do You To Believe We Can Do Better! Why Can’t We?
Please remember, what happened matters 1%, what we do about it matters 99%.

Civilist and Civility: Politeness, Courtesy, Truth, Justice, Integrity “Become Wise on the things that are GOOD!”“Are We Civilized Yet?”Love, respect, concern for all that lives. Because we know we love ourselves and we know love plays such a great role in our lives, let us give this freely to others. Let them know, show them your peace, let none in the world we live in suffer or deteriorate for want of love. And let none suffer because we do not truly practice love towards all that live, like ourselves. If we do not love, let us not forget our callous disrespect for the lives of others and the pain we thereby bring upon them. |

What happened? American Autumn Documentary
It’s now 2012, the results of that push and the approval by our legislators is devastating to the world our society and millions of people.
As a matter of fact, it seems that it is so complicated that our own governments answer is to train police and military to do urban warfare here in the United States.
Our people build great wealth, our lawmakers let people take it and now they make plans to beat us down for what is their responsibility, the primary responsibility of a government is to protect the people of their nation.
Plus they bought and control the main stream media to prevent the public from knowing the truth. AS THEY CONTINUE with their destructive activities.
These are crimes against the American people. And it seems that we as the people of the United States no longer have a protective organization to protect us from these crimes and the slow dismantling of the American Dream that hundreds of millions or people worked for and millions died for.
It’s time to take our nation back from those that obviously cannot manage what they have anyway. Regain control of our government and futures so we are not eternally on hamster wheels just so we can pay dues to huge soulless organizations that give us very little if anything in return.
They obviously do not have the answers, other than the ones that just benefit themselves, so we need to start working on solutions. “Are we civilized yet?”
The Visitor
You can make a difference! Knock Knock, you have a visitor: Would you let the visitor take over your food supply?
Would you let the visitor add chemicals to your family’s food?
Would you let the visitor ruin your water supply?
Would you let the visitor take over your water supply?
Would you let the visitor kill your trees and plants?
Would you let the visitor ruin your air?
Would you let the visitor cause you to live in fear?
Would you let the visitor come in and raise your heat bill regularly?
Would you let the visitor take all of your money out of your house?
Would you let the visitor take all the extra money you have?
Would you let your visitor lie to your children so they can mislead and cheat them?
Would you let the visitor throw you out of your house?
Would you let the visitor make your life miserable and then give you drugs free, so your life will be tolerable, or via your insurance plan or your tax dollars?
On and on, fact is that is what is happening. What would you do if you didn’t get a paycheck for 60 days? Fact is that our society has been trained to take you down and feed on you like vultures. That is not civility but it seems predominate in the world they train us into and force us to live in.
Grand Challenges that Create Passions Exploring solutions to urgent global issues?
Manifesting the Solutions not the Problems!
Do you have answers? Would you like to put your two cents in?
We want to hear what you think and what your solutions and suggestions are.
You are important! Your experience, your perspective, your brilliant mind and your wisdom could change the world.
Unless you think Cor Po Rations or Go Vern Mint has all the answers.
Na, I doubt it. As a matter of fact there are millions of good ideas out there and millions of people with wisdom, experience and other gifts that want to help.
Are you one of them? Jump in, form a group dedicated to working on a problem and see what happens. There are great rewards and appreciation awaiting you.
This site is dedicated specifically to solutions. Great solutions and manifesting come much more easily in a positive environment. To keep this site as positive as possible we may touch briefly on the negative and the facts because remembering where we have been will help us in where we go.
Somehow, growing up in total poverty with no man in the house, 2 younger brothers but a mother that was dedicated and justice driven. I had the blessing of comprehending “agape”, unconditional God love. Plus for some reason I could understand things easier than most I suppose and never seen any reason for the silly drama that is in most peoples lives. To ma life was easy. When I was 12 I prayed and prayed asking God what is the hardest but most beneficial thing I can do with my life?
One winter morning, about 3:00am, before doing my paper route and pushing our families laundry to the laundromat in a grocery cart, I prayed again. It was snow white outside and a voice said “walk your life inside of the holy spirit”, never have any fear and be assured that Jesus will be walking right beside you.

WOW What a Ride!! |

Skipping the part where we are supposed to state a lot of politically correct or seductive sales and marketing blurbs to suck people in. This Society and Website is for those that are comfortable with their eyes wide open and those that want to help with the offering of solutions to situations that have recently came to light as a result of our new global connectivity. In other words, people that choose NOT to live inside a delusional or false reality.
Openness: Knowing that most people are busy with survival and don’t have time to think about these issues we have this website so they can enjoy what we are doing with the hopes that it may spark excitement and ideas that we can all use.
Urgency: Maybe there is urgency and maybe not. But it seems as though the people that want humanity to keep the same structure it has had for over 1000 years (king>ruler>slave or worker) are busy trying to take control of and limit our global connectivity. read more here www.arewecivilizedyet.com
Life on Earth: Do you spend 2-3 or more days a week enjoying quality time with friends and family or adventuring in parks, enjoying nature or participating in recreational activities? Or do you spend most of all of your time in worry or on a hamster wheel to prove to the powers that be that you are worthy of having food, shelter and shiny baubles.
Why Now?:
A. Because for the first time in the history of mankind we are becoming astounded by the things we are finding out as a result of becoming globally connected.
B. For the first time in history we have the vehicles, technology, and abundance of intellect, wealth and wisdom to make the necessary changes mankind needs to work toward the inalienable rights that all human beings are born with.
Examples of dim-witted activities of 2012:
A. Person with a hungry child goes in store in hopes of sneaking out some food. Gets caught, goes to jail, child is taken away.
B. Person goes to Washington D.C. or Wall Street hires lobbyists, gets a billion dollars to secretly build a War Widget, and gets an award. Two years later submits convincing documents that the secret War Widget was built but the project fails. Retires in Europe.
A. Car with bad brakes runs over person hospitalizing or killing them. Driver goes to jail and loses everything because they didn’t manage to keep control of the car.
B. Manager of financial fund loses control of fund causing hundreds of millions in financial losses, deaths and various other collateral damage. He then orders millions of people out of their homes, siphons millions of dollars out of the retirement funds of strangers and retires in Europe.
Point! Our capabilities far exceed our actions and habitual activities. It is time to take a look at the new information and the new tools we have that can be applied for good.
About the founder: Reverend (reverence to the souls of everything living and respect for those that have past) Michael R Banker “Not a Stateist – Corporatized Money Minister” “God is Love” FREEWILL is Paramount!
My decision walk with Our Creator and enter humanist activities came in 1967 “the calling” just after I was standing in front of factory entrances selling newspapers to the workers as they entered and exited at the beginning of the 6:30 am 1st shift and the end of the 3rd shift.
I loved those men and women as much as they loved me. While I was walking away that morning I noticed an article exposing the results of a study which resulted in documenting a fact that 60% of the people that worked in that factory would die in the first year of their retirement. I felt ashamed.
Why did I feel ashamed, I was only 12. I felt ashamed because I was walking away with a pocket full of dimes that they had given me from their hard earned wages. I felt ashamed to think that the hundreds of thousands of books I seen in the libraries, which made the books suspect to me, hadn’t yet offered a better life for my brothers and sisters, fellow members of our human species.
After stewing in those thoughts for a while I realized that I needed experience based knowledge and wisdom without indoctrination of the evil ones, to get the knowledge and wisdom I had to set a couple of guidelines. One being that I would use objectivity to evaluate everything as fairly as my mind could do and I would never be the role of judge on anything because no human being is qualified.
Then wham, when I was 15 years old the riots came. I could take it no longer and began my long journey in search of wisdom which resulted in the gifts of having been able to experience some of the greatest of mankind and some of the worst of mankind.
Almost 40 years of adventure after adventure.
My first bout and discomfort with the administrators of our society (government) came when the police let the attack dogs loose to attack us at a Rock-n-Roll concert. My brain couldn’t comprehend that. Then a few years later after 2 years of active service during Vietnam I applied for conscientious objector status and wished to leave the military, it was horrible. They turned me down, drama happened then they took my benefits and let me go.
I suppose that is when I was originally put on “the list”.
Since I had learned a lot of truths about the USA and the world at a very young age, I knew that the individual freedom and liberty offered by the US Constitution etc. , heavily influenced by the Magna Carta and the Catholic declarations of individual freedom of religion was worth keeping an eye on. Few things like it had happened and since most of the Magna Carta had been repealed or watered down after 1850 it was up to the USA to carry on with the dream of personal human liberty and a democratic society that prevented anyone regardless of wealth or title to have despot powers over our people in the USA or is it uSA?
So beginning in 1970, I traveled coast to coast and up and down to live with all of the different peoples of the us. Sometimes I lived in mansions, sometimes i lived in ghettos.
Sometimes I had a new car every year and sometimes I walked for months on end. Sometimes I slept in the finest hotels and sometimes I slept under bridges with the homeless.
Sometimes I ate Filet Mignon or London Broil and sometimes I ate whatever I could find. Sometimes I had bags of money and sometimes I had a cup and stood on the street.
But, my friends, it was worth every single minute (except the attacks by the abusers of power and authority or those that suffer from gnashing of teeth syndrome…greed illness), because I walked in the faith that the God and creator needed some people that actually knew life, not just people that read about the wonderful life that is available here on earth.
Here we are at a very important turning point for mankind. We now have the technology, the global connectivity and more intellect than every before. But our wealth has been hidden away from us by people that have no interest in anything but themselves and the ink that prints the zeros on their bank accounts.
But one thing is for sure. It is time for the gifted and talented to help us all look at the critical situations and start developing better solutions than the money grubbers are because in their mix of information there seems to be very little about humanity, civility, individual freedoms and liberty and our inalienable rights.
(Whats in a name? Reverend (reverence to the souls of man and nature), my calling came many years ago and I served humanity for decades. Father, maybe to constantly remind me that Catholics proposed religious freedom about 400 years before the American Revolution and not to forget that Catholic Charities has helped hundreds of millions of people without demands in return or government obedience.
But, the religion you choose or the God you worship is up to you. That is true religious freedom and freewill to choose and not infringe upon others.
For the children.

As per my promise we will not go into all the negative things here. We will be pulling information from about 30 websites that we have been storing for over 10-12 years and trying to add it the thecivilist.com.
But one thing is for sure. It is time for the gifted and talented to help us all look at the critical situations and start developing better solutions than the money grubbers are because in their mix of information there seems to be very little about humanity, civility, individual freedoms and liberty and our inalienable rights.

**** Did you draw a conclusion from what you read here? And was it a negative conclusion? That is an example of the indoctrination of 95% of us. From the other 5% comes the people that cause change, run businesses and other things that matter. The minute you are tricked into being a judge you lose. It was fun though wasn’t it.******
Be Peace and live in Joy with everything you do.
