"It is like a trance. So what can break a trance? The only thing that can break the trance is the light of truth." ~ Canadian Philosopher John McMurtry as he comments on the psychological warfare that has afflicted us all
Five or six years ago, I was on a plane heading over the ocean, and I fell into conversation with a Greek businessman in his thirties. We talked about 911 and Yugoslavia and even the Kennedy assassination.
I asked him what he thought was at the root of all the grief in the world. He picked up an orange of his tray and said, "See this? This is the planet. The bastards that are running things have about half of it right now. At this moment they are figuring out how to slice up the other half, and you know who I mean."
if there ever was a belief system to enable tyrants to take advantage of willing fools, christology is it.
but they never ever....ever...want to mention that wonderful passage
"sell your cloak and buy a sword"
no, the pimps in the pulpit love to preach that favorite of tyrants and dictators everywhere. 'turn the other cheek.'
funny.
had we adopted such a worthless philosophy, america never would have had the freedom they won from the crown.
the freedom the saved from tyrants like hitler, etc.
hey, but who needs reality if you have feel good twaddle that removes all personal responsibility for the situation that such a philosophy places one into.
if a people will not prosecute officials who subvert and violate the constitution, then the constitution has no authority over officials.
