Today is a very sad
day for me.
Like most
Americans, my psyche has been bruised and battered by the repeated assaults
from this government�s attacks on the rule of law, and violations of our
constitutional protections. Perhaps that was their aim. I know that the process
of desensitization in the area of mind control or behavior modification is as
old as the hills, but when something happens to bring into focus just how far
it has gone it is still shocking. The constant drumbeat of propaganda, along
with the graphic pictures and videos of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon,
etc. seems to have taken its toll.
Now given the fact
that I am 60 years old and a veteran of the antiwar movement of the '60s and
'70s, I suppose I thought I was immune from this process but alas that seems
not to be the case. Over the years I had evolved into a conservative Republican
during the Reagan years because I actually thought that the democrats were the
problem. I mean Jimmy Carter did come across as weak willed idiot, right?
It was 9-11 that it
hit me like a slap in the face and woke me up from my stupor when I felt that
old familiar sickening feeling which I felt as a boy watching Jack Kennedy�s
head explode in Dallas. Little did I realize that the government of the United
States had been overthrown on that dark day in November of 1963.
On 9-11 I decided
that if it was the last thing I ever did, I would find out what the �real�
reason the �towel-aban� had attacked us! Well that was five years ago and I had
no idea what was in store for me. Over the last five or six years I sat in
front of this computer and painstakingly dug through all the propaganda and
garbage out there on the net, peeling through the layers and layers of lies and
deception only to find more, until slowly, one piece at a time, the facts began
to emerge, painting an ugly picture of lies, deception, and murder that has
stretched back over 100 years!
From the federal
government's power grab over the states as a result of the Civil War, to the
phony attack on the battleship �Maine� in Havana, to our involvement in WWI
and, later, WWII as a result of Japan�s �surprise� attack on Pearl Harbor
(which was announced one week before the
attack in the Hilo Hawaii newspaper in large headlines!), to the Gulf of
Tonkin incident, which now has been proven to be an out and out lie; to
�Operation Northwoods,� which outlined the military�s plan to fake an attack by
Fidel Castro to justify our invasion of Cuba; the government of this country
has established a well worn pattern of lies, and manipulation wrapped up in the
American flag to whip up the populace and get them on board with whatever
criminal enterprise they had planned at the time. I guess some things never
change. But then why should it, it works so well!
Even recent history
in America is replete with examples of this �magic formula� such as Waco,
Oklahoma City, and New York on 9-11 when we witnessed the demonization of the
particular �target group� usually followed by some �phony attack,� which then
is blamed on the boogeymen, followed by the government�s announcement that they
need more power and less constitutional restraints to defend us from the
enemy�s threats.
Time after time, we
believe the lies like some naive lover who, no matter how outrageous the lies
are, continues to believe because he/she is so much in love with the liar. So
we continue to accept the lies because we �love our country� and we can�t believe
that �they� would lie to us and do things like that, despite mountains of
evidence to the contrary, and all the while the world laughs at us for being
such fools, until their amusement turns to contempt and then to hatred as one
by one they become victims of our government's criminal activities which rape,
plunder and pillage them without apology.
In the neighborhood
where I grew up they used to have a saying �What goes around, comes
around.� I didn�t know at the time, because I was not a student of the
scriptures until much later in life, but this is a fundamental spiritual
principal or law and I truly believe it with all my heart now. You see, no just
God could permit this pattern of evil to continue without a �day of reckoning�
and the God that I serve will surely demand that the scales be balanced sooner
or later.
The saddest part of
all is that, as He has done throughout history, He will probably use our
enemies to carry out His judgment against us and the worst part is that when it
happens, I won�t even be able to pray for His mercy on this country because we
have chosen to abandon His word,
exchanging the truth for lies, good for evil, and have traded prosperity,
wisdom, and His blanket of protection for greed, corruption and moral
bankruptcy which has seared our consciences until we kill and rape our own
children and murder people all over the world who have done nothing to us !
Make no mistake
America! There is a payday coming, and just as surely as night follows day,
when it does, the horror will make everything before it pale in comparison.
Perhaps the most horrible of all will be the total despair we feel as we
realize that we chose to throw away our country and our children�s future and
invite His wrath because we were too lazy to think for ourselves, to stand up
for what is right, and to fight back against the criminals who have enslaved us
with greed, corruption and lies.
�If my people,
which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my
face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will heal their land.� 2 Chronicles
7:14
I can�t think of
any better advice then that!
