Change doesn’t happen in a vacuum. No one changes their ways just for the heck of it. But if one must change, they’d better do it for the right reasons. Being neutral is a safer bet than adhering to any military alliance. Nobody owes anyone anything. Protection doesn’t come gratis. And sometimes the price is your own existence.
Democracy is dying. We are killing it. When we abdicate from responsibility, we make it clear. We want none of that. Government cannot and won’t protect you. The social contract is null and void.
The Romanian people have spoken: we want peace and we want to live free and with dignity in our country. World leaders should pay attention to vox populi. It is the only voice worthy of listening to.
Power corrupts. Politicians lie. The hierarchical system is broken. Tyrants are made not born. We make them. We are the architects of the eternal winter of our own discontent.
Hope is what makes the world go round. You take it away and people die inside. You give people hope and they will die for you. That is what the Orange Man managed to do. And that is what the motherlovers trying to run the show from behind the curtains cannot do. The Elites are trying to extinguish the Hope in a better tomorrow. Trump is reminding everyone Hope is built-in into each and everyone of us.
Power structures are oppressive. They make us miserable and do not work. Yet we cannot shake them off. Why is that? What can we do about it?
The world is at war. And we are all caught in it without even realizing. We are ignoring the evidence with the tenacity of the Ostridge. We are unfit to lick the boots of our ancestors who lived and fought to secure a better life for their children. We are unworthy of Freedom.
The Gun destroyed Feudalism. It led to the triumph of Democracy. Now the powers that be want to take away people’s freedom. To do that, they must remove the ways and means. An armed citizen is a freeman. Only slaves are not allowed weapons.
Perfect Freedom is Utopian. Many have tried it. Most attempts succumbed to crime, misery, and moral decrepitude. A just set of Laws must moderate individual and societal excesses, keeping them in check.
Political violence is a fact of life. The world is in turmoil. In 1963, a President was killed in Dallas. The Truth never came out. The Media obscured the Facts by conflating the Sensational with Reality and adding a heavy dose of Fake News. Then, as Now, we are at crossroads. Do we keep on believing the Mainstream Media’s litany of deceit and lies? Or we move away and examine facts on their merit. The choice is ours. It takes time to be informed. But a lifetime won’t be enough to repair the consequences of taking things on Faith alone.
