The original article has been removed. It was an unclear presentation and I knew I should do better. Here it is:
“Just more ranting” (to speak or declaim extravagantly or violently; talk in a wild or vehement way; rave) could very well be the possible perception of the Paradigm Control reader about its’ content (articles and/or posts) and me.
A more precise definition of a raving ranter (after thinking about it a bit) is a person that is desiring to have a “cause” just to make himself feel that he is accomplishing a difference in his audience’s perceptions and/or actions. There has to be more involvement in aquiring the real value of truth that matters before any desired - righteously desired - reaction to it can be expected. To clarify, without revealing the truth’s real (notice the emphasis) value may be the only thing in the way. Is that the case here?
Because of the guilding (to give a bright, pleasing, or specious aspect to) on the cage of the captivated, most cannot realize the extent of their imprisonment.
People “…will put up with a great deal of injustice – until it becomes unbearable for a critical mass among the population. The status quo has momentum, and there are psychological reasons for this. A revolution or big social change generates a lot of costs and uncertainties, both of which people avoid. Real change comes at such a high price, people put it off as long as they can.” (Source: http://www.caseyresearch.com/cwc/doug-casey-4th-july)
Whether or not one makes an effort to check to see if what is being read is actually true is a revelation in and of itself. To begin with, it takes courage and honesty to truly investigate one’s self. After that consideration, a better perception of what is said – and why it’s presented – on this blog site can be more easily understood. So, check me out on what you read next. (But first, do you think outside the box you find yourself in?):
A Case In Point Of No Ranting
Do you find yourself in this “political correct” box, “I go along with the ‘Gay and Lesbian’ agenda”? It is politically correct , you know. It would be detrimental to your standing in the community, work place and possibly your church to take a noticeable stand otherwise.
(Oh, you don’t agree with homosexuality? I don’t either. This is one of the reasons why God and His Word has been taken from public view – God speaks against it. But I suppose you already knew that.)
Be sure to read “Homosexuality And The Bible” when you get to it. It’s in the drop-down menu of “Honesty And Truth ”, which is at the top of this page.
That’s the end of the first Case In Point that is not a rant. Here’s the next example I’ll use - that is a warning to you – hoping that you don’t interpret this as an emotional raving rant. At any rate, what comes next is the main objective for this post:
Read this one web page at the HoweStreet website - all of it. It is a good bit of reading and it’s someone else – professional people in this particular field – giving you the information. I hope you go to the trouble to inform yourself.
Here is some of what you will read:
“… A sudden spark will catalyze a Crisis mood. Remnants of the old social order will disintegrate. Political and economic trust will implode. Real hardship will beset the land, with severe distress that could involve questions of class, race, nation and empire. The very survival of the nation will feel at stake. … America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning
“This is how it will play out over the next ten to fifteen years. Cynicism about solutions put forth by corrupt politicians, distrust of government bureaucrats and crooked bankers, and a society wide demoralization, as widespread unemployment and declining living standards for middle class Americans has darkened the landscape like an approaching winter storm. The disillusionment of average Americans is reflected in poll after poll, with only 20% of the population satisfied with the direction of the country versus 70% just prior to 9/11. The mood change in the country since 2005 is palpable. The gap between the Haves and the Have Nots has never been greater and continues to widen. The middle class has floundered for decades, while bankers, politicians and corporate titans have reaped vast riches through peddling debt and gaming a system rigged in their favor.”
“The reason is the country has been run by ideologue linear thinkers. Believers in linear history are constantly blindsided by the fact that history is cyclical and periods of progress are counterbalanced by periods of regression. As neo-con Republicans continue to push their lowering taxes on the rich, Christian fundamentalism, drill drill drill energy plan, bowing down to Wall Street bankers and wars on Muslims, drugs, and immigrant agenda, the mood of the country has shifted away from their falsehoods and fabrications. As ultra-liberal Democrats continue to push their agenda of ever increasing entitlements, ridiculous Keynesian stimulus, disengenuous green energy plans, blind support of corrupt unions, wars to prove they’re as tough as Republicans, pushing for gay marriage and rolling over for Wall Street bankers the people of the country have tired of their lies and deceit.
“Our country had a decade to prepare for the coming tempest. All generations should have worked to elevate the moral and cultural standards of the country. Instead the decadence, selfishness, materialism and profligacy of the nation were taken to new heights. The complete lack of self control exercised by the media and the public has allowed government bureaucrats to impose despotic laws and regulations to protect us from ourselves and phantom terrorists. The Federal government needed to cut back its size and scope so that it would be nimble in the face of the Crisis. Politicians needed to prevent further civic decay by speaking bluntly and honestly to the American people about the future challenges, while stressing collective duties over personal rights. We needed a revival of citizenship over individualism, with a focus on future generations who would be left with the fallout of thirty years of debt induced societal degradation. The government should have shifted its budgetary focus away from the non-needy old to the young people of our once great Republic. The future of the country depends on the young, not the old. The preparation scorecard on all these accounts is a miserable failure:
- Since 9/11 the American public has willingly allowed the government to strip liberties and freedoms away in the name of safety and security through passage of the Patriot Act, spying on US citizens, and wars of aggression in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
- The government wolves control the sheep through the use of fear and misinformation. The War on Terrorism is used at every opportunity to keep the sheep-like populace under control in their holding pens.
- The corporate owned mainstream media glorifies wealth, celebrity, and sensationalism while infecting the culture with a vapid mind numbing array of TV shows and spewing toxic levels of filth and porn across the airwaves and internet.
- The Federal government cut back its scope by increasing its annual spending to $3.8 trillion in 2011 versus the $1.6 trillion it spent in 1996, a 138% increase in fifteen years. Meanwhile, GDP only increased by 92% over this same time frame.”
Sometimes I see people, people that I know, step arragontly away from information that could help them in the future, with a “Who do you think you are?” attitude. I know that one day soon memory will have mercy – rant or no rant - or will it?
Now it’s…
Your turn.
