torment of an american
Loved ones…. when a nation rises up against another nation…then we do not have peace on earth and good will among men….

Good will is necessary for world wide peace…a world where there is no more war…

Consciousness of the universal brother hood of man is not a painless achievement…

Not until an ethical awakening occurs do warring nations stop….

Meanwhile the innocent become fodder…

Loved Ones please include Douglas Barber, a former Army reservist….

For two years he had battled with his endless reoccurring memories…. His experiences of fighting within the $5 billion dollar a month Republican expedition still today plowing pointlessly around in Iraq…

Doug left this telephone message on his answering machine…. "If you're looking for Doug, I'm checking out of this world. I'll see you on the other side."

He then shot himself in the head


"It was really bad - death was all around you, all the time. You couldn't escape it," he said in an interview with the Coalition for Free Thought in Media.

"Everybody in Iraq was going through suicide counseling because the stress was so high. It was at such a magnitude, such a high level, that it was unthinkable for anyone to imagine. You cannot imagine it."

Torment of a war veteran

Doug Barber wrote this internet article just days before he died:

"The Bush Administration wants to run the war like a business, and refuses to show the personal sacrifices the soldiers have made. All is not OK for those of us who return home supposedly well.

Some live with permanent scars from horrific events no one other than those who served will ever understand.

We cannot stand the memories and decide death is better. We kill ourselves because we are haunted by seeing children killed and families wiped out. Soldiers don't know how to cope with returning to a society that will never understand what they endured. When you go to bed you wonder if you will [die] because a mortar [hit] your sleeping area.

Soldiers live in deplorable conditions and can not often handle coming back to the world they left behind. It is something that drives soldiers over the edge and causes them to withdraw.

As Americans we turn our nose down at them wondering why they act the way they do. Who cares about them, why should we help them?"

Loved ones… include the loving Douglas Barber and all his loved ones with the White Light of the Holy Spirit….I petition and ask that in Mother and Father Gods Name and petition for those individuals responsible for what Doug went thru....that they too....learn all their lessons with the least amount of pain....I petition and ask that in Our Divine Parents Name
