Over the past decade, thoughtful Americans have witnessed a methodical, desperate, and shocking movement taking place. This movement has been deliberate, exploitative, deceptive, expedient, and without conscience. In order to cement the power of an elite class of ambitious despots, this orchestrated cooperation of industry, media, and politicians has, with a greater degree of success than honest people might think possible, used lies, deception, coercion, bribery, treachery, and an array of methods to seed the populace with it’s foul intentions. It's ultimate goal is nothing less than the complete subversion of Democracy and the institution of a totalitarian world state.
One of the methods this movement employs is the effective dumbing down of discourse in this country.
Those that soil dialogue with misrepresentation, distortion, and lies haven't a shred of integrity. It is a foreign thing to them, a 'noble' and therefore 'haughty' thing... this 'integrity'. Those that have it must therefore be “elite”, ‘self-aggrandizing’, and ’Liberal. Integrity, to these people, is a weakness
Rather, they perceive critical issues and objectives as justification for any tactic... they believe that their objective is so very worthy that any lie, any crime, any desecration is acceptable to attain that end.
-And because they are ignorant of history, they are utterly unaware that the ultimate outcome will fully reflect the methods of that outcome’s inception.
They are utterly blind to process because they are so fixated on the outcome, that to deliberate over the 'process' seems unnecessary to them. They believe they can have their way by taking action without deliberation or consideration of methods. In that sort of mind, action solves all problems. That's right... think about it; If all things are ultimately solved by taking action, then it follows that anything can be solved with action. If anything can be solved with action, then only action is necessary.
See the process? Does that seem naive?
-It's how nearly 25% of Americans think... or are told to think.
Now here's the thing with integrity;
When you create certain conditions in order to achieve an objective, the objective derives its integrity from those conditions... like a building requires adequate soil bearing capacity, the proper foot pads, columns, I-beams, joists, and studs. Any political or sociological 'construct' requires integrity in order to remain intact.
That means we can be assured; all those positions, goals, and objectives that are enhanced or even realized because of pandering, treachery, obfuscation, ignorance, misinformation, torture, malfeasance, jingoism, hatred, complacency, capitulation, manipulation, and outright LIES, will fall by the very means that brought them about..
I am certainly not the first to articulate this. I am not the only one who sees this so very clearly. Millions of us are all quite aware that this current movement, realized by the Neo-cons, Religious zealots, and corporations, is such a product of corruption and hatred that it will surely fall by its own design.
Many of us will fight and strive to bring integrity back to our country. Many of us will be helpless in the face of the ever darkening landscape. Many more of us will simply ‘get along’ the best we can and weather these dark times. But take heart, whether we are barely getting by, whether we are stunned to inaction, whether we are fighting the good fight to accelerate the outcome… this monstrous movement is corroding within itself from its own bile.
And we will see it fall apart one day.
That is why, even if I do not live to see it’s end, I am not worried.
"When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it, always." - Mohandas Ghandi
