Times Are A Changin'

       THE SECOND COMING

    Turning and turning in the widening gyre

    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

    The best lack all conviction, while the worst

    Are full of passionate intensity.

    Surely some revelation is at hand;

    Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out

    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi

    Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;

    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

    Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

    The darkness drops again but now I know

    That twenty centuries of stony sleep

    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

This poem followed upon the end of World War I. It is correct to say the rough beast was, at last, set upon us and slouched toward Bethlehem. It overwhelmed the world, even in the United States in the Wilson and F.D.R. days. Today, things a slightly different, the fascist beast is not the toy of the self-important dictator who knows what is best for the people. 

Today's fascist monster is unseen and has armies of orcs will versed in how to undercut morality, family, and the annoying republican impulse toward self-government, what with our negative Constitution and all.

As with all things, even that which formed from the unwinding of history, must, itself, unwind. Things have begun to fall apart for the beast and will unwind quickly as there was no solid center at all to this Matrix. There was only subversion for its own sake, a way for those with no foundation to find meaning. In the past, people believed in fascism; today, it is hidden behind a facade because the people enjoy their freedom.

The skills of the duplicitous are strong and the people unsuspecting. Easy marks. Now, the subversives' skills are clearly inadequate  to govern. Those awake see they have placed their faith in the unworthy.

Take note of the unwinding. The unwinding is inevitable and hard times will come as we must exorcise the parasites. Me must remember to give no quarter in slaying the beast.   

Just a few scandals and facts to consider: 

AP Privacy Intrusion

Murder in Lybia to Protect an Election

IRS Used To Chill Speech and Privacy

US Recording Text Messages

US Demanding Money from Insurers to lobby for Obamacare

US recording all phone calls and emails

US demanding data from Google, Facebook, et al

US now permitted to use troops in your town

US monitors (and uses) health data you supply believing it is protected

US has 900 military bases around the world

US annual budget is greater than all the income of its citizens

US funding and networking local police to follow its direction

This list is endless. The federal government is not a government, it is a control mechanism operated by people we don't know for their gain. Mr. Obama is just a figure head, though he likely no longer thinks so. The mechanism only works by taking wealth from those being controlled. It is a feudal estate.

It is our obligation to kill the beast we have nurtured.  This is not complicated a matter. We just need to return to personal morality and honor; this is a rejection the tyranny of the state, the collective. It is by believing in a collectivist view that we lose our freedom. In the end, we must not feed the beast for the monster can only exist by taking the fruits of the workers. Avoid the beast and refuse to purchase things from its family.  

In the end, it all comes down to money.  GE is about using power to earn money; for a small amount of support to the state, it reaps billions of dollars in sales. It plunders the earth and uses government to crush competition.

What we can do is simple. Recall, the movie They Live? The key is enlightened awareness.   

For my part, I don't buy an American newspaper or watch TV. To do so is to feed the enemy. I make no more entries is Facebook and use IXQUICK as a search engine. I will not permit my health records to be part of a national network open to the government (HIPPA does not include privacy against the government), which likely already has illegal access. Today, few think these precautions are extreme.  A few years ago, few could see the pen the farmers are building around them.

Make a small stand every day. Home schooling is not difficult and your children will be vastly better off. I never had a gun, but will buy one. It is time to think about having protection, but merely buying one is a vote. I will vote in primaries against all (maybe) sitting politicians. Don't care about parties, they are both tools of control.  We can avoid terrible times through a virtual revolution.

Everyday, we must reclaim our heritage, especially as the beast's time is waning, for now. If we do not, then we face a terrible future and the lives and deaths of our ancestors were for nothing.
