How Could The Government Let This Happen?
Every wonder how things got the way they are. It's an underlying often unasked questioned in many post threads.
The Art of War by Sun Tsu five hundred BC. Not the whole book just the parts that pertain 2515 years later.
Preparation for war. Our side must have...
“Capability to subjugate eyes and ears...suppress their senses...suppress their judgement...make people unable to think...herd them as a flock of sheep” That's where the sheep analogy is derived.
Sound familiar? Guaranteed the political masters of the Government party have read Sun Tzu as closely as they read Marighella and the Cycle of Repression. All the while the ''could never happen here'' and ''how could the government let this happen.'' And returned to their TV sets and text messaging while ignoring their new social contract followed by the establishment of a Special Democracy and it's Protective Echelon.
It wasn't the Government that made it happen. It was the people who handed over their freedoms, turned a blind eye to corruption and gave up their freedoms for security and jobs. Until there were no more jobs no more security. Never once asking what became of our new social contract but whining about their rights?"
250 years ago another group of people looked into the future. I wonder what it will look like 25 months from now?
You get what you ask for.
Some thoughts as the day ends.
Leg of Lamb anyone?
The opposite is what can I do myself to prevent this from coming true?
In this environment it is virtually guaranteed that the majority of the people do not and cannot think coherently about the nature of government and what it should and should not be. Many of the rest are conditioned to instantly dismiss, denigrate and berate those that do question.
So the people have been very highly molded to put up with whatever the government is or becomes next.
Granted of course that government has been given so much power over so many things that it should never have been involved in at all that today the blame for a very great deal belongs quite rightly with government.
But still, we should be very careful of hidden premises.
