Freedom is Dead everywhere. Freedom of speech, freedom to vote and run for public office, freedom to bear arms, freedom to protest, all these freedoms are Dead on Arrival. Who’s to blame? Us, of course. Why? Because we allow politicians to tell us how to protest. “Peaceful protest”, they say. Yeah, right. Like that is going to upend the political order created by them for them.
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.
How you recognize someone trying to steal your lunch money? They’re the one shouting ‘Thief’ from the top of their lungs while grabbing and pulling at your wallet. The Left has been projecting their nefarious ways on President Trump for almost a decade now. Start paying attention, folks.
Peace is a fragile thing. War is the natural state of Man. Conflict is what we do best. Just look at our weapons. Much more advanced than our buildings, right?! If peace is to be achieved, compromise must be sought. It requires burying the hatchet, and preferably not in your opponents’ headpiece. But that can only work if rational people sit down and choose to work things out calmly. Violence only begets violence. If the endgame is peace, violence must be abjured.
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.
Do you ever wonder how slogans come to be and why? Wonder no more. It’s easy. You’ll soon see.
The Powers that Be are trying to divide us. They mean to control us by using our differences against us. Do not let anyone dictate how you see the world. Experience life empirically and you will understand it better than They can explain it to you.
Principles make the world a moral one. Rules make it wild. C’est les cages qui rendent les hommes sauvages. If you want to know more, step right in, folks!
If you believe in the No pain, no gain adage, then you must make a choice. Do you want to live a life free from pain? If so, you chose the yoke of Comfort. If you want to retain agency in your life, then you have chosen wisely. You chose Painful Freedom.
Plutarch recounts how the Sabine king Tatius compensated the traitorous Roman Tarpeia for her treason. He buried her alive under the weight of the gold she received for her infamous act. Tatius said “I love treason (since it helped me conquer Rome) but I despise the traitor.” Well, Putin likes neither. He rewards betrayal with death. Prigozhin made a play for power. He failed. He died. Dishonesty has a capital price in Putin’s world.
