“On the brink of the waters of life and truth, we are miserably dying.” Could Emerson view our world today he would have all the more reason for his dim assessment of humankind, one that led Franklin, Clemens, and others of renown to doubt ours a species deserving of surviving. It wasn’t just the brutish beginnings of what was to become civilization leading to these men pronouncing our species unfit; it was the slavery of English factories, of those in both the north and south of America, places that should have been “factories of hope” rather than “factories of slaves.”
It is painfully evident We the People are not told the truth by our “leadership.” In some cases where national security is involved this is quite understandable. But increasingly we are not being told the truth for the sake of power and profits, the Federal Triune Dictatorship being more interested in the bottom line of power and profits rather than the bottom line of national security. And as evidenced by a thoroughly corrupt UN the conditions in other nations can hardly be said to be any better.
But such is the condition in America today where we have just cause to wonder why We the People are accounted unworthy of being told the truth by our leaders? And in far too many cases it really does come down to hiding the truth for the sake of power and profits. The result being we have just cause to be cynical of the phrase “national security.”
None of us can possibly feel at ease when those in our government are actually forced to conceal the truth from us for whatever reason. Few of us are so naïve as not to know there are cases to be served by “the greater good.” But this decision concerning the greater good cannot be trusted to liars, thieves and corrupt scoundrels.
However, one thing definitely impacting national security is the indiscriminate breeding without any thought for the future of the resulting babies that must invariably lead to incalculable misery and suffering, not just in third world nations but even in the more advanced like America where such indiscriminate breeding has resulted in a number of third world cities like Los Angeles throughout our nation.
But the wealthy have always favored the breeding of more slaves, a notable exception being the story of the Hebrews in Egypt. Pharaoh and his counselors were alarmed that the enslaved Hebrews might grow in such numbers as to threaten Egypt. The decree to “winnow the crop” resulted in the story of Moses.
The nations of Western Civilization are facing the same problem as that of the ancient Pharaoh; the slaves are growing in such numbers as to threaten civilized nations. The slaves invading America from Mexico by the millions certainly threaten our nation, but these slaves of today are not likely to produce a Moses.
England and other civilized nations have nurtured the viper of Islam in their midst for the sake of slave labor. But the slaves to Islam, for such they are in reality, are increasingly likely to produce a nuclear holocaust. Were such people not enslaved to such a barbaric religion they might be able to entertain some hope of a future that did not require all to bow to a bloodthirsty Allah and his pervert “prophet” with the subjugation or destruction of all “infidels.”
I recall a time in America when people were filled with hope for the future. This is no longer the case. Our nation has been sold out and betrayed by greed for power and profits, our betrayers offering We the People nothing that would either promise or sustain hope for the future of America, but are rather dedicated to making wage slaves of all Americans not belonging to the privileged club of wealth. This is patently obvious by the refusal of our leaders, both Republican and Democrat, to secure our borders for the sake of slave labor from the barbarian and totally corrupt nation of Mexico.
The thoroughgoing corruption throughout our own government is nowhere so in evidence as in the refusal to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws for the sake of slave labor benefiting only the wealthy in America. This is so patently obvious one can only wonder why any in the political spectrum even talk about “national security” since such a thing is such an obvious farce. And Caesar Bush will talk about “securing Iraq” all the while refusing to secure America. Not that the Democrat Party holds promise of anything better.
The bottom line for good people is justice; and when justice is not served, is in fact mocked by our courts and government there can be no hope for a better America. It is intrinsic in good people to want justice, to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Should Ellie Nesler have let the law handle the evil man that molested her son? And what would have happened to Ellie and her son if this monster was released and came after her and her son? Are the victims to stand guard with guns to protect themselves because the law fails to do so, to wait in fear not knowing when the predator will attack? Some will point to the many faults and the failure of Ellie Nesler to be a good parent, of her being a drug abuser and such, but her concern for her son was something all parents feel for their children.
The weakness of any law falls into two general categories. One, it fails to be just. Two, it is impossible of enforcement. The laws governing child molestation are of the first category. They are not just. And when a law fails to mete out justice, the people have a right to cry out for a just law to take its place. The leadership, failing to hear the cry of the people against laws that have become so punitive against honest, responsible, law-abiding citizens and so favoring the irresponsible, the bullies and criminals that the leadership better begin listening to the cry of the people.
I doubt any of us would advocate anarchy. And while no reasonable person could fail to sympathize with Ellie Nesler, no reasonable person, for the sake of a civilized society, wants to have to resort to her method of seeing justice served. Then what? The only answer is law that is just, law that we can depend on to be enforced, expeditiously and without a ten years or more process of appeals, law that does not make the victims wait in terror for the criminal to come back to do them further harm.
Without a just system of law, there can be no civilization worthy of the name. Like most civilized Americans I want children to grow up and live in a civilized society, not one where it takes a gun to protect ourselves and mete out justice. But we need leaders that do not set themselves above the same laws We the People are expected to obey. I do not hold much hope of this becoming the case in America, especially since our leaders refuse to secure our own borders and continue to favor other nations over America for the sake of power and profits.
The Founding Fathers in their wisdom provided the Second Amendment as our protection from the tyranny of an unjust government. We can only hope and pray it does not come to this and a just government will come about before We the People are forced to act on our own behalf once more for the sake of freedom.
All of this to point up the fact the greater good cannot be served by liars, thieves and scoundrels. And it remains virtually every tyrant and despotic government maintains itself using the same mantra of “the greater good” in order to maintain and advance an agenda of power and profits, our own government now being an infamous example of this, known to the whole world as such and thereby putting a sword in the hands of our enemies.
I have a bulletin for our leaders: We the People can handle the truth. What we cannot, will not handle is lies for the sake of power and profits, a creed of “the greater good” advancing only the agenda of tyrants and despots, advancing only the cause of those like the despicable ACLU and others demanding America become something other than the America of the Founding Fathers, an America that was once a proud nation and beacon of hope to the rest of the world!
