The Speech of Emma Gonzalez

Emma’s speech is THE happening that caused GLOBAL ATTENTION to students’ voice. This is no co-incidence, but because she displays

  • brilliant wit, well informed on national and international stats
  • pain and passion
  • fierce love, like Vandana Shiva
  • raw outrage, like a ROARING bear mother protecting her cubs

and turns that into

  • voice and
  • call for action
  • that they have already started and decided to take to success

Plus, she is crystal clear about

  • adult generation’s failure and inaptitude to act (staying silent)
  • taking no shit from adult generations to be blamed(!) for “not liking” (ostracizing) the gravely anti-social person (which is an adults’ matter)
  • not being silenced into mourning and “staying at home to calm down”
  • no more bullshit excuses and distractions

and she states the one NON-NEGOTIABLE thing to do

  • to ban such weapons
  • to achieve this now as a generation
  • to vote all bad politicians out of office

COMPARE with all the ways of expression that forever failed to be heard, cause momentum, cause a movement, effect change: “rational, moderated speech”, “contained emotions” to “not appear hysteric”, being polite and respectful towards “honorable authorities”, “experts / adults”, “politicial correctness”.

All these moderated polite ways failed and fail because they lack the passion as a driver.

 

Note #1

Emma has been active on social causes before, incl fighting for rights of LGBT students. This Warrior spirit shows and highlights the value of valiant Warrior spirit. No more fluff. Courage to have an open heart that feels the pain, to show it, to turn pain into passion, action and determination, into Fortitude (courage on the long haul) to carry it through till the end no matter what, for the higher purpose. For more on this Virtue of Fortitude, view CG RISING / The HeroIne’s 7 Virtues / Rachel Parent

Note #2

Her liveliness and courage reminds of Erica Fernandez and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez – all of Mexican background(!), which is fiesta, passionate, alive with expression – mobilizers! LEARN FROM THEM, unlock and cultivate that spirit in you! X’s action guide helps you do precisely that!

Note #3

Her name and her friendship with LGBT people is pissing off many people of the dysfunctional mindset responsible for the problems

FEEL your NO! to create your YES !

THIS is what makes this speech so powerful, a catalyst for global attention and a national movement.

I have emphasized the need for feeling and expressing OUTRAGE for years.

Either you feel everything or nothing. You can only feel super joy, vision, passion, if you are also open to feeling the pain of seeing the world you love suffer and even be extinct – animals, forests, oceans, merry futures.

 

 

Note

Spend time sitting feeling

  • what you love in life, for people and planet
  • what you detest; this usually calls you to action
  • with solutions; your own ideas, fertilized by solutions-oriented media and organizations

and get started, full on, like an athlete. YL is here to help and keep momentum and inspiration high.

Do it in Time!

Florida had to experience a massacre. Do you want to wait for something similar until your heart and pain is cracked open ? On animal abuse, chronic disease among youth (1 in 3 in North America), erosion of prosperity (EU), sliding into fascism and autocracy (Turkey), collapse of oceans, ecosystems, agriculture, slutshaming, rape, child sex abuse …

You do not have to wait. You can feel it with your mind from a distance by feeling into what you see on media. Be honest. Do not hide your feelings from yourself.

Note:

Observe and differ feelings and emotions.

Feelings are connected with the Heart. This is where you find the mindset creating a solution.

Emotions are ways of not not feeling the real feeling, the pain. And they come with brainstuff to justify the non-feeling. These emotions create dysconnection, and do not create a solution. You see emotions ab-used by fascists and revolutionaires. This doesn’t work.

You can sense the DIFFERENCE between the way Emma speaks and angry fascists etc. Attention : you also sense a big difference to leftist ideologists. They also speak from a tough me(n)tal space of ratio, without heart. Not recommended. And : they fail.

A little more on emotions

Anger, revenge, f#ck ’em are not the basic raw feelings of the alive being. They are combined / distorted by a mental aspect, such as “I don’t want to feel this”, “I don’t like those people” by fabricated concepts of difference of skin pigment, gender, location, prejudice and anger at things done by nasty interest groups in a country’s government, or in religious institutions.

But these are youth, born innocent into a suboptimal society and f#cked up situation inherited from incompetent adult generations. The stuff adult generations in government religion or business are doing is not the young people’s fault or wish!

Even though the USA have a track record in nasty stuff, that we all wish to overcome, I can find horrible fails in your country also. So don’t be steered by emotions. Observe them, go beneath them and find the pain(!) that has caused them. Then take proper action in response to that pain and create a good world.

Europe – wake up to avoid it!

The whole world is becoming “Americans” via the media shaping you every single day.

Your music, food, lifestyle, ideals, adoration of greedy business people, fascination by glimmering phone screens, myth that tech saves everything, fantasies about nice billionaires, messiah politicians, and memes – leading to the popularization of slutshaming, sexting, rape, porn – none of this has been invented in Africa, South America, Australia, Asia or Europe. It is adverts from America. And its effects are felt affecting your image of self, lifestyle, worries and behavior that is hurting people and planet.

European adult generations are as incapable of solving it as American adult generations.

If not you have to become as smart and powerful as the finest American teens who have grown up in such awful conditions and now show how to overcome it. The school studens STATE IT CLEARLY.

Note:

You already experience rise of demand for guns, extremist politics, defamation of science, TTIP, CETA, TISA are brought into position by YOUR governments to destroy all health and environmental standards established with big effort over the past 50 years, to align you with American standards.

  • 1 in 3 North American kids has a chronic disease
  • ugly stuff like leaky gut, diabetes, crazy allergies : kids die from eating a peanut

Do you want to blindly slip down into that hell also? 

Watch the escalating mess of war, civil war, violence boiling up across entire Western and Eastern Europe and neighbouring regions all over Northern Africa, Asia, Russia. They are escalating towards World War 3. Do you want that? If not FEEL YOUR PAIN, FEAR = YOUR NO! and rise to demand CHANGE and find your mission and do it.

“We are the Adults in this situation.”

Adult generations react with apathy and tricky techniques to avoid change and face the powerful gun lobby. They blame the students (he was bullied), they say “that’s how it is”, “my rights to sci-fi guns are more important”, and they send people home to recover (and lose their outrage and passion!) and stay silent. This is the mindset of incompetence. Now listen to Jaclyn:

“We have seen into his eyes. WE are the ADULTS in this situation, because clearly people have failed us and we must make the change now because we are the only ones who are going to.” Jaclyn Corin
“It’s not just schools. It’s festivals, movie theatres, it’s night clubs, for us, our generation, our children. And we’re going to make sure that this is never going to happen in this country or any country.” – Alex Wind

 

Teacher's defense of right to assault weapons?

I read something very powerful to me today. It was from the point of view of a teacher. And I quote: When adults tell me I have the right to own a gun, all I can hear is my right to own a gun outweighs your student’s right to live. All I hear is mine, mine, mine, mine.

Mentally disturbed, bullied, ostracized? BS!
Mentally disturbed? Bullied, ostracized by students?
“There is one tweet I would like to call attention to. So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled for bad and erratic behavior. Neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. Must always report such instances to authorities again and again. We did, time and time again. Since he was in middle school, it was no surprise to anyone who knew him to hear that he was the shooter. Those talking about how we should have not ostracized him, you didn’t know this kid. OK, we did. We know that they are claiming mental health issues, and I am not a psychologist, but we need to pay attention to the fact that this was not just a mental health issue. He would not have harmed that many students with a knife.”
“And how about we stop blaming the victims for something that was the student’s fault, the fault of the people who let him buy the guns in the first place, those at the gun shows, the people who encouraged him to buy accessories for his guns to make them fully automatic, the people who didn’t take them away from him when they knew he expressed homicidal tendencies, and I am not talking about the FBI. I’m talking about the people he lived with. I’m talking about the neighbors who saw him outside holding guns.”

American YOUTH discover that their Society is f#cked up – and there are others where things work better.

“I found out today there’s a website shootingtracker.com. Nothing in the title suggests that it is exclusively tracking the USA’s shootings and yet does it need to address that? Because Australia had one mass shooting in 1999 in Port Arthur (and after the) massacre introduced gun safety, and it hasn’t had one since. Japan has never had a mass shooting. Canada has had three and the UK had one and they both introduced gun control and yet here we are, with websites dedicated to reporting these tragedies so that they can be formulated into statistics for your convenience.” – Emma Gonzalez

They, who grew up as a generation with regular school shooter drills in response to the Columbine Massacre, also found out that in other countries no kid ever experienced a school shooter drill or simulation. Because it practically does not happen.

And their response is – then we want to END this in our country also!

“I watched an interview this morning and noticed that one of the questions was, do you think your children will have to go through other school shooter drills? And our response is that our neighbors will not have to go through other school shooter drills. When we’ve had our say with the government — and maybe the adults have gotten used to saying ‘it is what it is,’ but if us students have learned anything, it’s that if you don’t study, you will fail. And in this case if you actively do nothing, people continually end up dead, so it’s time to start doing something.”

This is BIG, because adult generations have grown up with the worldview that there’s is the most magnificent democracy, the land of the free and the rest of the world sucks in fascism, poverty and sadness. Well. No.

AWESOME!

Now,

  • American teens’ YOUTH LEADERSHIP example awakens the world to rise
  • We ALL can now share our societies’ GOOD PRACTICE MODELS and sane MINDSETS for re-creating HARMONY in the USA!

For a century, the world has suffered from America’s bullying behavior. The point is to HEAL AMERICA inside – and we can then create a world of PEACE. Imagine the power of ab-used and distracted into America’s military industrial complex into HIGH END transformational ways powered by people!

LET’S DO THIS!

Everybody cheer on America’s teen generation and HELP THEM HEAL AMERICA!

Note:

This co-incides with young gymnasts giving testimony on systemaic child sex abuse and DENIAL and SILENCING by parents and people in the institutions in the Larry Nassar trial.

“This is not only about Larry Nassar. Our society has a real problem and we have to look deeply into that.”

“I will go into a medical profession in sports, so young people can trust me, and to bring about the change we need to see in our society.”

Full on Change – No compromise!

“It’s not just schools. It’s festivals, movie theatres, it’s night clubs, for us, our generation, our children. And we’re going to make sure that this is never going to happen in this country or any country.” – Alex Wind

Carried by Youth – instantly!

It’s been 4 days, and already the students have launched a nationwide campaign with #neveragain and #marchforourlives in Washington and school walk-outs across the nation!

Note:

Here we go. American YOUTH LEADERSHIP! Not a petty little thing but WE TAKE BACK THE PLANET, no matter what.
