Protester throwing Molotov Cocktail at a police van in Christiana (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
.Gleaning from the news sources and more recently from the Internet have opened many doors.
These days a reporter that says too much is likely to be labeled a radical or even a traitor when shedding light on the hidden power base's dirty laundry and practices.That can get you chased all over the world with a price on your head.
The term RADICAL have been a label to separate those who know the definition of right from wrong in their heart from those who except whats wrong as right..Those Radicals also have the courage to persist in doing their best to right that wrong even after knowing the possible costs.
That being the case we find the headlines talking about mobsters in Mexico and the authorities preventing families there from defending themselves even so far as killing those defenders.We in the states march ever closer to the same fates.Police/military actions to curb self defense of their citizens.Why else would homeland security hoard so much ammo while trying to disarm citizens.That is unless a foreign power is about to invade our shores in waves of millions or the terminators are expected in mass.
I rather doubt that is the cause or the case.You decide this one.
We see the news telling about the Ukraine that still has a government that really seem to have interpretation problems in understanding the peoples voice.It appears to be so bad that the population has to threaten setting things ablaze using low tech Molotov cocktails to get their leaders attention.The weapon used by the French resistance on Panzer and tiger tanks.
Russia has been fighting off terrorists while throwing social stones at minorities who just like everyone else at the Olympics are there to compete.Old Mother Russia has some fear issues?
China has begun to arrest and kill lovers of freedom and democracy...Leaving Chinese folks still living under centuries of the long dead past Emperors slave yolk...
Our own country seems bent on becoming like the rest of the worlds populated countries.The more we try to communicate with those we elected,the more isolated and determined to isolate themselves from us they appear to go .The days pass and each of those day find us battling worldwide the very people that we voted in,trusted and believed in.Each day the scenario becomes a tug of war with our lives,our lively hoods, our values,and our very health threatened lives of our whole family.Infants to Grandma.
The problem is not centralized to any one place or any one people.We see the growing anti popular ideas with every decision that is made regarding the average person.More and more the rules and regulations that make up laws are skewed to oppress and control without input of Constitutional process.
The intention would almost make one believe the decisions have a basis
blatantly intended to cause chaos among the populations they effect.Some would think this to be paranoia or some other quaint label to belittle and demean.To make an atmosphere that creates fear to speak out on such things.
Starvation and class&religious problems only happens over there.Right?The poor folks on the TV screen sitting shivering in the cold and hungry is over there.Not here.That does not happen here.when it does it's all that persons fault lazy good for nothings..go get a job.I guess ignorance would be bliss here.It's quite an eye opener when life dumps you out of your dream into that scenario.
Countries in Africa have had mass killings and anarchy for generations,leaving millions starving and homeless.The leaders there have actually worked to kill off certain folks just because it keeps the masses occupied so they can get rich from the bloodshed.
The truth is that if we had always gotten a transparent daily News report all along,it could've or would've been forth coming from anyone.The truth will set you free I once read.Would it really be so devastating to hear the truth if nothing was being wrongly done by anyone.The same type of thing can easily be put into clearly understandable words:
If you had a child who constantly told you A and rarely actually did anything but B.When would you be able to trust the words of that kid?Imagine that this kid has a long list of mistruths that they were know for.
Then one night after being grounded,they climb out a window and go out.2hours later you discover them gone and spend hours foning the kids cellphone with no answer.
Several hours go by with you tearing your hair out in worry. A police car pulls up and your heart grows ice on it from what you fear.The officer reassures you the child is alive and well,but...
The problem is that he is accused of a crime and can not provide an alibi for his time out.He/she swears they were only wondering the mall alone.The mall is now closed and his word is all there is to go on.
Problem:His history of mistrusted goings ons and being a bald faced liar makes you doubt anything the kid says.You love and support him/her....but can not rely on any honesty forthwith.
Our leadership these days seem to follow this philosophy rather closely.Even if its the truth,when can you believe that it really is accurately told truth?
This is a fact that our leaders apparently do not deem us with any obligation to listen to anyone else.This is one reason among others why the world is falling into a non repairable future with scenarios from which we may never recover.
When Y2K was going to send the world back into the stone age,my family sat watching the once free television news.The news person was going on and on about storing up on food/water ETC.Which is a good idea whether world end or just prudent planning for any unknown.
He told how we should stockpile fire wood for heat and prepare an armory style ammo supply cache .
We noticed my dad looking a little puzzled and asked what was wrong.He said I really don't see what the big deal is all about.Every winter we lose the electric power for days.The electric goes off and we have to stoke up the wood stove for heat.His dad(my grand dad)prepared this way and so on back in time.
Why didn't those folks prepare for the hard times.We just chuckled an said most people depend on the system not to fail.Dad shook his head in disbelief.....
Y2K did not destroy the modern world.I would hope enough folks dig in and cling tight to the things they hold dear.There is no reason for anyone not living free in the manner you feel comfortable with.Another persons idea is the ideas THEY hold dear.So why should anyone force their ideas,beliefs or values on anyone else.Our leaders need to listen with both ears to all those who live here.They are capable of changing it all back to where they not asked for advice .When the people speak loudly enough and often enough,Changes will happen regardless of what power ignore us.
What would happen if WE THE PEOPLE decided to put all or most of our differences aside and work together.The power would suddenly shift from the leaders to the PEOPLE. We are .People who have run our lives long before anyone felt it was needed to walk us on a political or legal leash.We need to break down the barriers that force Humans into tribal countries.We should have evolved beyond that long ago. That is, unless you believe that we have not stepped past the caveman stage...If we are a tribe it is a clan of Earth People.1 tribe for all People.Many beliefs,many diverse human types.Many diverse languages.Many divers faiths.Dumping our fears and preconceived notions would be a good place to start.
One Tribal Earth.
Maybe cooperation would in itself reverse the flow of power.
Conflict may lead the world to unite the common person(both sexes)to find common goals to cooperate with each other.That time will come as more folks realize that this Earth is a tiny Biosphere. We are all inmates here for the foreseeable future,we are all here together as if shipwrecked on a desert island.Survival depends on how well we all pull together and play nice.
The mother ship only lands in movies to save the day.Superheroes are really just folks put into positions forcing them to excel beyond their norm.There is only those of us who care enough to
try to fix what will soon be too broken to fix.
Till next Time folks Keep the Faith
