Captain Sweep delivers!
Most of Captain Sweep's videos are good, and if they not so good at least they are so off the wall as to be funny. I think that this one is different and has a powerful and important enough message as to be rated as an "excellent" video. Great video. - mmphosis , posted 08/03/07

The story behind why I am sending this out to you
I remember being paralysed back over 15 years ago. For awhile it was incredibly painful as my spinal chord was bruised (not broken) and my arms became like a first degree burn condition. If you breathed on them from 5 ft away it felt like you were jabbing a knife in my arm

I was watching tv and there was a scene from world war 1and all these bodies were strewn across a field and I started to weep and weep and I'll never forget the realization I had in that moment. Most of those bodies at some point were wounded and in as much pain as I was but they had no one to care for them. No hospital. No morphine. No nurses. No protection from further pain.

I couldn't comprehend being in the state I was and then being left in a field to die….and for what? For what?

And I thought about all the war movies, the war books, the war models, the war comics and the war games i had played with and had become addicted to as a child.

Now that I am older and have learned a bit more of the world I have come to the conclusion that there is no justifiable reason for war and in fact that all wars are manufactured by small groups of people that benefit from having that war. At the end of th eline it is the financiers of the war that are the cause.

Everyone once in a while when you really reflect on things you realize that the human condition has an ability to let things slide. To realize something deeply but then to continue with our lives and forget things that are important to us. Especially if we have food, water and shelter. Yet I believe its important for those people who are in a position of priviledge to devote some of their time to helping those less fortunate.

We in Canada are incredible blessed with peace and an abundance of resources. Its easy to forget this.

I made this video because I wanted to at least say someting in regards to the general idea of war and how much of a scam I believe it to be. It also links to a larger plan I've been working on to bring those people together who really have sustainable solutions that might not have received the resources or promotion that they need.

If you agree with me, please pass this video through your network. Impossible things can happen with strong group intentions. This is just another little message to go with all the other wonderful work being done by small groups across the planet.

Thank you,
