As you read this post, especially the part about illegal migration to the US, keep in mind that it was originally posted in December of last year.
Since I released my book "Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America." I have repeated a few sayings to my family and friends over and over again
"Envy the dead, for they have not had to witness the heights proceeding mankind's fall."
"Mankind will be the cause of two mass extinctions. All of the species we have and will obliterate will be the sixth and we will be the seventh."
"The plight you ignore could become your fate."
The most relevant one for the times in which we are living however has to be
"What's coming is coming".
The only possible irrelevance in this latter phrase being the second "coming ". I no longer believe we have time to fix, mitigate or even avoid the problems I once believed to be in store for Humanity. I think what I thought had an ever increasing probability of occurring has become inevitability. I believe that the terrible future I hoped to avoid has become our fate.
What I no longer believe is that we can regain the freedoms and rights so many of our service men and women fought for in the endless wars our leaders have thrust upon us. The wars and conflicts that they said would provide security, freedom and prosperity. The wars that have done the exact opposite for most Americans and many others living on planet Earth. While those things mentioned in the previous sentence were on the upswing for a while, they appear to be trending down, as most citizens in most developed countries are now surveiled by their own governments or some private corporation 24 hours a day. Don't believe me? Discuss some product or service with a friend out loud and just watch the ads promoting that same production or service the next time you open your browser. As for security, there is no way you can feel more secure when refugees are supplanting the workers in your country. In the United States there are reports of the largest number of migrants preparing to cross into America illegally. This is the result of American interference with our neighbors as well as countries on the other side of the Globe. A fact that these immigrants will (if they haven't already) realize as they began to hate their adopted new home, America.
While our leaders tell us that life is great, reality tells us otherwise. Whether they know that their actions are causing more harm than good or they simply don't care, it matters little to those who suffer.
The problem that arises when the masses choose to no longer follow their lead is that those leading don't want to relinquish their control. Even if they realize the harm and torment they've inflicted as being something for which they will be punished, they may not feel responsible for the negative outcomes their actions have produced for so many. They might even believe that others have unjustly held them accountable as their twisted sense of morality and justice misguides and misinforms the behavior and actions.
It is when a leader is backed into a corner that they will consider worst case scenarios as their impending downfall looms on the horizon. It is at this time that they will likely to take more drastic measures to maintain their power. Just think about the fact that every president at least since WWII has been a war criminal. Now, imagine all of the people tied to their war crimes. Not just those who were accomplices but those who were complicit. Look at how many times the main stream media got the story wrong and helped lead the country into an unjust, immoral and illegal war. Consider how many millions of lives have been forfeit for what inevitably turned out to have been primarily a fight to determine who would get the opportunity to exploit a nation's resources. How many military men and women have been maimed or killed so some corporation could steal another country's oil.
Imagine the retribution that the Public would seek against leaders who have lied, manipulated and propagandized a nation to convince mothers and fathers to send their children to their deaths. Now, imagine what the leaders facing such retribution would do to not only avoid losing power but possibly their livelihoods and their lives. Anyone opposing them becomes their next target and must face attacks from an establishment controlled by morally bankrupt, corrupt people who have only ever exhibited the traits of a Sociopath. This is the "what" in my statement from the past five years
"What's coming is coming"
I now however believe it is already here. This "what", I believe, encompasses the terrible things our corrupt leaders will choose to do to keep the rest of us from removing them from office, indicting, and prosecuting them for their crimes.
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
