News that the Boy Scouts have decided to let homosexuals in gives me the opportunity to discuss a recent observation. To wit: that the powers-that-be believe that they can mold us to their will. That they can will whatever they wish for us into existence. We are ruled, we are being subjugated.
Never mind that most people didn't want this change in the Boy Scouts. The will to make the change came from above.
It's like ObamaCare. Most people don't want it. But the will to make it happen came from above.
It's like the economy. It's not really growing. But the powers-that-be believe that their will to make it grow will actually make it grow if only they throw more debt at the problem. If you save your gold, you will be forced to sell it.
It's like the recent presidential election. The powers-that-be believe that they will get the nation to accept their vision, or else they will have to be forced into it. Anybody who disagrees will be punished. If the dissidents like the Tea Party don't get into line, they will send the power of the state after them. The people will bend to their will, or they will be hell to pay. Lindsey Graham says the Tea Party will go away, and so it did.
In the UK, a soldier is beheaded in public, and nobody did anything about it. The man was instigated by a radical Islamist preacher who won't condemn the attack. But we are told the Muslims fear attack from us. Meanwhile, guys like Piers Morgan tell us we must be more like the Brits. The powers-that-be want our guns. If the pattern holds, they will get them. We become more and more passive and more and more subjugated. All for our own good, of course. The powers-that-be say so.
In the US, a political show trial for Zimmerman continues. One way or another, they will get a conviction. Why? Self defense must be discredited. They just cannot allow the people the notion that they can take care of themselves. The police will do that. Except the police can't be everywhere all the time, and said police must not violate the rights of the accused. Which means that crime goes unpunished. But Zimmerman is different, somehow. He defended himself. His rights don't matter so much as the rights of murderers that behead soldiers.
What's with the powers-that be? What's up with us that we continue to give them even more power? If it is a test of wills, we are losing.
What kind of world are the powers-that-be giving us? Is it a world that we want, or a world that is imposed upon us against our will? Or we the masters or are we the servants? Are the powers-that-be our masters, or they our servants? What have we become?
