About George Luis Dewey

George Luis Dewey was born in Lima, Peru, S.A. on February 13, 1947 in the barrio of Miraflores.  He was educated in Colombia and attended Colegio Nueva Granada in Bogota.  He lived there for a period of 14 years after spending his first 6 years in Peru.  He taught English as a foreign language at the Centro de Idiomas de Chapinero and authored a Thesis his senior year in college, while in Colombia, to finish his Latin American Area Studies curriculum.

George had the unique opportunity to interview the leaders of the time as they joined to form a Bi-Partisan Centrist Government to stave off years of bloody civil war.  He witnessed the Revolution against the dictator Rojas Pinilla.  As such, it puts him in a unique position to deal with Latin American foreign policy issues,  which he has addressed often in his writings. He graduated in 1969 from Rollins College, Winter Park - Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Affairs and Latin American Area Studies.


George Luis Dewey has been in Merchandising with hardware firms, was an avid botanical collector, a Chief Shop Steward for a 2000 man ship yard in the Boat Wrights and Carpenters Local of San Diego at National Steel and Shipbuilding where he was a Layout Man and a Loftsman. He was a member of the Engineers and Architects Association of San Diego, California and was employed as a Loftsman at General Dynamics Convair and Space Systems Division.  He worked on many Space Shuttle Missions including Challenger and the Galileo Jupiter Project.

George is also a writer and musician and loves his guitar.  He first arrived in New Mexico at the age of nine in 1956, where he stayed in Tesuque with his uncle.  He fell in love with New Mexico as it reminded him of Latin America.  He raises Walker and Bluetick coonhounds, is a hunter and fisherman and once lived on a boat for 5 years.  Today he lives on a permacultural dryland grass farm called Llano Dulce in the Abo Valley of Northern Socorro County.  He promotes and uses solar and wind technology and has been a staunch constitutionalist Bill of Rights Protector since before he arrived in Veguita, New Mexico 20 years ago.  

He believes that all life is consciousness and a reflection of the Great Spirit by what ever name you wish to call it, him or her.  He prefers Mother Earth and Father Sky and the indigenous way of seeing the whole world as organic, integral and connected intimately.  He does not believe in shame, blame, guilt or sin, rather that right or wrong is something you feel in your gut and that you don't need someone to write you a book about it.  When you feel crummy inside you know you are doing wrong and when you give love and sustain others you bring wellness and joy to your world.  He has seen too many moral people bring harm and pain to the world in the name of their special diety which they merely use to justify their actions.  He prefers to accept that most religions are merely, as the root words of the word religion reveal,{ (re) and (legio) } "throwbacks" or "armies of the past".  While purporting to be different they are all cultural  and social arrogance or ego enshrined. 

He likes to assist others to clarify how to arrive at correct information, knowledge and wisdom, as well as a healthy emotional outlook, by helping them learn the important difference of when we are thinking and when we are feeling.  He teaches what he had to work so hard to understand - that our rational side needs real facts and quantifiable knowledge and, that in contrast to this, our emotional side is entirely dependent on how it was conditioned in childhood.  He has discovered for himself that our beliefs are really a function of the same emotive process or what we would "like" to believe.  It has been his experience that when we learn to have a grip on the way we are thinking and feeling, or when we understand when we are being objective or subjective, we can really begin to develop our faculty of intuition which truly goes, with lightning speed, to the heart of the matter.  It is his conviction that this integral and sustainable method of self-understanding is preferable to dogma or propaganda.  He affirms that we truly have a right to know, not just a need to know.

An American Patriot - My Father
By George L. Dewey

I am an American citizen and extremely proud of it, but I grew up in Latin America as an expatriate.  Since that time I have had a unique opportunity to study and consider what it means to really be a U.S. citizen.

My father was my primary example.  He flew numerous missions over Germany in a B-25 attack bomber.  He was shot out of the sky and landed in occupied France behind enemy lines.  To this day he has the photo the French underground gave him when they rescued the whole crew and raced them back across enemy lines on captured German motorcycles. Before parting they declared my father a hero of the French people and the ranking officer presented him with a captured German Luger. Within a few days he was back in the air on a new mission and this in a war that claimed most of his kind within very few missions.  Needless to say I am still in awe of his courage and I try to remember that when I feel I must assert my Constitutional Rights.

His example to me was quiet and strong in the first part of my childhood as he raised his kids in a foreign country 30 to 50 years behind by U.S. standards.  I did not realize until somewhat later that in that country we did not enjoy the same rights as Americans.  We could not bear arms, to do so was a serious infraction and could be met with violence.  It was presumed, because of the level of paranoia, that anyone with a gun had to be plotting against the government.  In those days people in authority respected Americans.  They were respectful and considerate of our rights of passage.  Our money was silver and our foreign policy still in a relatively mild mode.  Although we were checked through customs every country we went to, Dad had his Luger.  The particularities of this went past my young mind and for many years I didn't realize how important that piece of history would become.  Until then I simply understood that his courage and that pistol had a strange relativity.


My father is an adventurous soul and in 1960 he packed us all in a new Fiat bus and took us to Peru to visit my Grandparents, right over the top of the Andes across the ancient Pan American Highway.  Dad didn't consider that as challenging as the revolution we had recently endured in Colombia.  We had machine gun nests on each corner of the block and that was the first time I became aware of the Luger that seemed to be out at the ready a lot. I was nine then.  

We drove on cobblestone highways laid by the Incas and slept and ate in places with minimal facilities, all 9 of us.  I was 14 and my mother had a babe in arms, my sister Sharon.  We had a lot of adventures - we visited the headhunters and avoided the ones who still wanted heads, we traveled across the bay of Guayaquil in a steamboat full of gamblers and traders, rough and unruly men that drank a lot and had limbs missing, no teeth or patches over their eye, but I never really saw my father in action and realized the importance of that Luger until we came down the mountain into the Jungles of Peru.

Suddenly there was a squad of five men in front of us with automatic weapons and military uniforms.  At first my father thought they might be guerillas, but they turned out to be Peruvian soldiers.  He told us to stay in our seats, to not move a muscle or make a sound and to do what he told us exactly.

The officer demanded our papers in a very unusual gruff manner.  My father later told us that these guys weren't real happy with four years duty in a remote border area.  As they went through our passports they came to mine and asked which one was me.  Then they ordered me into a truck that was standing by.  My father told me to stay put.  He was informed that even though I was an American citizen under an American passport since I had been born in Peru under that government I was a Peruvian and I was being drafted into the military.  The war of words that ensued and the bristling of egos, weapons and authority got very intense for what seemed like the longest time and at the most strident moment I saw my fathers hand grab his Luger as he reached under the seat behind him.  I knew  he was prepared to take out 5 men in the next moment.  I could see the vein on the side of his head pulsing with his imminent tension, then suddenly they softened and backed down realizing he might know dignitaries who could make their lot even worse if they created a border incident with foreigners.  They were very transparent as it turned out all of that pressure was levied to secure the inevitable bribe.  It had all been about shaking us down for money.  Dad explained that there was a very fine line between being a criminal and a soldier in these parts we were not to be confused about the uniforms they could be stolen and they could have just as easily been guerillas.  One thing was sure, he wasn’t going to give up any of his family to anyone or die trying.

When I would explain to my Colombian, Ecuadorian or Peruvian peers the essential differences between our governments I would relate that incident as an example of how such a thing would never happen in a free country like the United States.  No roadblocks and armed men demanding to see your papers and then rifle through your things.  In the United States we have the law to protect us and we have our freedom and our rights. From that day on I have witnessed the gradual decay of our values and respect for our Constitution and the Nation for which it stands. The single most important centerpiece of our Constitution is the Bill of Rights - the whole Bill of Rights as adopted in 1791, not 2002.  It is comprised of all Ten Amendments, not just the Second Amendment and to defend Liberty you shouldn't need lawyers to salvage your rights.  I have watched each level of Constitutional law corrupted by a secondary statutory punitive system of local revenue enhancement for the benefit of a corpulent body politic and the business community.  I live in a Nation of fearful consumer inmates looking for security in numbers who are so lame they need to be protected from their untrustworthy selves.  They give lip service to their rights and exhibit their Velcro patriotism by buying cheap Chinese made American flags to wave while they gleefully support the World Trade organization, world plutonic government under the guise of the United Nations and the irrevocable march of the corporate culture and the onslaught of Globalism.  They say “too bad” when the Mom and Pops go under as another Wal-Mart moves in to give us endless cheap garbage made of plastic.  They slavishly worship material indulgence and could care less about the civic integrity of our system of laws. Everything is for sale in America just don't stop the ticker tape from trending up. It is this polluted and corrupted mentality that convinces people that the only real weapon is money and if you give us your donations we will hire lawyers and defend your rights from yourselves! How absolutely pathetic.

Organizations designed to defend your rights ask for money instead of asking you to swear allegiance to defend these rights to the death and to protect Liberty if need be. We must as a nation restore respect for the core values of our Nation - open and amplify our forum to a more complete Constitutional focus and articulate the issues in a more integral manner.  I do care about the NRA and such Bill of Rights advocates and I would like to put my support for our Nation and our Constitution in a better place and context.  Our economy is not a replacement for democracy and healthy representative government.  It has assumed the proportions of a state-sponsored religion, whereby no man can buy or sell without the enslavement to this beast of human entropy. There is a disconnect between our ideals and our money and where it goes.  In our foreign policy we should insist all other countries adopt our Bill of Rights as a precondition to diplomatic relations, instead we are in league with every cheap despot all over the world and content to use our military industrial complex as a driver for ever higher levels of profit.  This type of opportunistic irresponsible greed will eat its way through America like a cancer until we attack it with our consciousness and mend the rending of our institutions, laws and constitutional protections.


 



Red Pill?  Blue Pill?  End Bi Partisan Centrist Stagnation

By George L. Dewey
Taken from his 2002 Campaign for Congress

Today there are two competing value systems , each striving to find a majority where none can be found,  marching across our land - one is a civic system of values that speak to our institutions and our precious laws and way of life, the liberty we enjoy and the very fabric of our integral history; whereas, the other is a matter of material and monetary value - a mere commercial exchange, something more ephemeral and passing.

Our very institutions have been invaded by legions of moneychangers. 

Where has the People's will gone in this equation? 

Why is centrist bi partisan stagnation the rule of our time? 

Why is the People's interest always last, yet "bi partisans" agree completely when it comes to a Congressional pay raise, new special rights and privileges or other perks?

There is a dance going on between these two power mongers who toss the ball back and forth in their binary world.  It does not matter who wears the glass slipper, both run the ball!  They own the game. 

And the People - where are the People?  There are two lines, infinitely long, and in one are red people and in the other blue people.  They have been standing deadlocked for a long time - years and years- and the line never moves.


To what exactly do you have allegiance? The party? Standing in line?

Where is this going?

Time to make a lateral move on the board!

Look around like a hungry fox - there is a possibility for change only you must take charge of the game. Why there he is! The candidate that is talking about the real issues of the day, the gut issues that my world is ruled by, the things that rub the common man for better or worse.

I'm done with red pills and blue pills - it's on to a real choice for me and I'm not in any one else's movie - it's about me.

George L. Dewey is that candidate and your best move on the board! 

WRITE IN George L. Dewey as he is running as his own person, not someone else's big money and plans.  He is accessible and available to you for consultation at any time when regular folks are up!

So what is it going to be - about your values or someone else's money. Remember, it is America we are talking about - our country and home.  I say George L. Dewey is right on the issues and right for me and my country.  Vote on Nov. 5th!  WRITE IN -  WRITE IN - WRITE IN George L. Dewey in District 2 New Mexico.

He believes that we must Restore the Bill of Rights to its original form as written in 1791, not as it has been rewritten to suit the whims of a renegade Presidency, corporate special interests and the intelligence community under the recently passed Patriot Act.  It represents the core of the guarantee of personal rights of the individual before the law. 

He questions the Constitutional validity of conducting "police actions" since Vietnam,  without the express will of the people in a Declaration of War, as an official act by Congress.  He affirms the need to restore the dignity of correct process in order to restore the morale of the people towards a government many have grown to suspect and fear, in order to reaffirm respect for our basic institutions.  He has demanded citizen oversight of the Intelligence Agencies and the Police.

The War in Iraq is nothing new.  Our policy toward the Middle East was created in Congress at the behest of a power-hungry executive, which is driven by special interests and the greed of the reckless investment community.  It was streamlined to facilitate the right of way for a pipeline there as much as in Colombia.

It was begun when the Patriot Act was passed, when special powers for the police were granted, when the police were emboldened by the taste of total power by the Drug War,  when Waco went un-addressed and the players unpunished, it was begun when the Congress created sneak-and-peek legislation to void the Fourth Amendment.  Where were your loud protests then?  Is the threat to Liberty worse now?

We must wake up and smell the roses - our Congress has abdicated its lawmaking powers in favor of tyranny! 

If you love Liberty then simply put your partisan differences aside, look at the roster of men who are candidates for that office and ask yourself "Which one defends my Rights?".

Which one was speaking to Constitutional Premise from the inception?

Which one became a Green as a Constitutional Green and Bill of Rights Advocate?

Which one wanted the party to take a responsible stand on the War on Drugs as part of the party platform?

Which one wanted a statement of opposition to the Patriot Act in the Platform?
