Amazon Pays No Tax For Second Year In A Row
Jeff Bezos of Amazon has found a way to not paying Corporate taxes for the 2nd year in a row. This simple fact says a lot about the kind of person that Jeff Bezos is and the Corporate Culture of Amazon. The reality that Jeff Bezos and Amazon believes that they do not have to contribute to the well being of America is the most important items for this individual and corporate entity. This screams volumes of the corporate responsibility culture that most corporations have for America. It is great to wave the Red, White, and Blue but do not even think that these rich and spoiled corporations are going…

Mont Order, LGBT Rights – Wave Chronicle Announcement
The Wave Chronicle has supported the Mont Order for a few years now. On the whole it was a great experience. Recently, we have been working with the Mont Order regarding a core set of values for citizen rights. During this process, a strong anti-LGBT rights was discovered within the heart of the Mont Order organization. Within the core list of rights for citizens, the Wave Chronicle wanted to include Marriage Equality and this was denied as a core value by the head of the Mont Order, Harry Bentham of Beliefnet. Even though the Mont Order during our conference in February did agree with two statements being issued, one with Marriage…

Topple: Deport All Bigots, Not Refugees
Op-ed writer Steve Topple has appealed to Europeans to learn their history lessons again before calling for Nazi-like collective measures against refugees fleeing conflict zones such as Syria. Topple does not hesitate to point out the west is to blame for the war in Syria. The west must make space for refugees, as it must face the consequences of its actions and atone for what it has done. The post accuses Western societies of ignoring their own hand in creating a crisis for themselves, which they now try to shirk responsibility for by wanting to turn refugees away: The anti-refugee rhetoric appeared to be systematically ratcheted up in nearly every country across the continent,…

The Mont Order’s Theories On Political Violence – Wave Chronicle Statement
You will find an excellent selection of responses regarding the armed protests in Oregon. My personal comments is listed below. In America, we have a set of laws, for the most part they work. These individuals in Oregon are scumbags. Looking for a fight for the sake of a fight. Guns toting individuals storming a federal facility is beyond the pale. Most of the land issues in the west is due to the land having depleted uranium (Weapon Testing) or have uranium deposits. I can understand a ranchers issue of land that the family has owned for 100 or more years being taken away, it sucks but they are being…

Imperialists or Irredentists
On the Fifth and Sixth Points concerning the values of the Mont Order The Western powers are still deemed imperialist by their critics, due to their history of imperialism and their recent behavior as conquerors and exporters of their supposed “democratic” superiority. On the other hand, they try to accuse their own foreign opponents such as Iran, Russia or even the Palestinian people of having imperialist or similarly coercive goals against them or their allies. Some commentators even astonishingly try to convince anti-war activists in the West to shift all their attention to criticizing non-Western governments and advocating military intervention for the sake of “peace” as well as the old…

Wild Life Refuge Drama – Wave Chronicle Announcement
An article appeared on Club of Info mentioning an article from Thomas L Knapp, regarding the taking of a wild life refuge federal building in Oregon. If offered lukewarm support to the individuals currently protesting inside of the buildings. You can read that article here. The Wave Chronicle does not endorse the article written by our fellow Mont Order members, Club of Info and Thomas L Knapp. The behavior by the armed individuals who are protesting inside a Federal Building is illegal and abhorrent behavior that should never be tolerated in a civilized society. America has issues with some individuals who believe that federal employees are a threat to the general population. That federal…

On the Fourth Point of the Mont Order Values
Declaring that the Mont Order is a global group of dissident thinkers, the code of Mont states in its fourth point, “the Order can relate to the Islamic world and hopes that it will overcome Wahhabism and Takfiri sectarianism, which are plots sown against Muslims to attack their unity.” The real threat is unfortunately even broader in scope, and threatens not only the lives of Muslims with chaos and the miseries of civil war but threatens everyone. No society could be immune to a power that finds comfort in dividing everyone else to make itself feel strong. What it needs to be called, really, is a threat to global unity.…

Illegitimate Democracies – Third Point Of The Mont Order
What is so special about “democracy” and “Western values” that it is worth committing such horrific atrocities and war crimes for these ideas? In the short time that they have dominated this century so far, the “democracies” have started more wars than anyone else. They have kicked doors down, machine-gunned civilians and inflicted starvation on entire populations with economic sanctions. The “democracies” have ravaged and destroyed Libya in military aggression, and today wage new wars of occupation and regime change against a conspicuous number of different states. They cause so much suffering that anyone proud of “the West” and “democracy” today is as good as cancer. No ideology has attacked…

Blair Rants To Defend Himself In Article
Wanted war criminal Tony Blair ranted in a recent article published at the UK magazine Spectator, in an attempt to defend himself. Blair avoided mentioning Iraq or his crimes in that country throughout his article, instead focusing on what he called the “tragedy of the Labour party’s current position”. Most of Blair’s article was vacant and avoided making any particular statement other than vague references to his own ideas being more “realist”, despite them leading to failures, humiliation and defeats such as the Iraq War or strongly related ongoing Syrian conflict. At one point, Blair almost mentioned the Iraq War, stating as follows: Post 9/11 I became convinced that Islamist extremism was the security…

A Spiritual Response to the San Bernardino Terrorist Attack, Where is the Muslim Gandhi?
The terrorist attack in San Bernardino hit very close to home for me. San Bernardino is 55.5 miles from where I live. In my humble opinion, before we start to point fingers, engage in conspiracy theories and chastise those who would use this tragedy for any political agenda, we need to view the entire incident through a spiritual lens, focusing on compassion. So, let’s take a look at each of the parties involved. Obviously, the victims and their families deserve our compassion. They were innocent victims, going to a holiday work party to celebrate the holiday season. So, let’s shine compassion on the souls of the victims and on their…
