Our republic is sometimes referred to as a Ship of State, many favoring this metaphor since its imagery is easy to understand. People can relate to being confined on a ship subject to the whims of not only its captain/crew but also the seaworthiness of the ship itself – and don’t forget, the SEA!
If one agrees, for years we’ve had a motley crew, it could be they’ve damaged our ship almost beyond repair. They did it slowly/methodically invading and infesting halls of government, boardrooms of our largest institutions, foundations, nonprofits, corporations; also society’s major thoroughfares including media, journalism, entertainment, TV, sports, business, finance, education, medicine, science.
This is hard to grasp/accept for many, probably most. We’re supposed to be organized as a democratic republic with a unique constitution. We’ve been/are the preeminent example of a free society, exhibiting to the world basic fairness, lawfulness, fundamental rule by Majority and leadership in numerous fields of endeavor. How on earth could we fall so far down the societal ladder that we’re now – in some ways – compared with 3rd world?
To be clear, it’s my contention we stopped functioning as a democratic republic at least 60yrs ago, maybe more, caused by an insidious infestation of leftist progressivism emanating like a destructive tsunami from our colleges and universities. It probably began much earlier in the1920’s, but gathered steam/really began rolling in the 1950’s.
Those unable to imagine such an enormous subterfuge must harken that it’s taken 100yrs to reach current levels. I’m saying in the 1920’s and even before professors/teachers coming from Europe, particularly Germany, brought their scholarly ideas about government and society. There was nothing in Europe like America, so they taught ideological concepts reflecting the dictatorships, monarchies, plutocracies/oligarchies, military juntas, theocratic councils and strongman presidents prevailing at the time. Many of these realms/principalities/duchies fancied themselves democracies, even republics, but relied on constitutions whose authority came from a ruler, monarch, strongman or council so it could be changed at their whim.
Our constitution takes its authority from the consent of the governed a radical new concept in the 18thcentury. Furthermore, it relied on the proposition all men are created equal with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. This means these rights can’t be taken away by the whimsy of a ruler or governmental body nor can underlying precepts/privileges supporting the rights be denied, as expressed in amendments to the constitution. These facts let us claim we’re a moral, ethical, spiritual society, founded on God.
Today, I think we have two major problems: disbelieving such an enormous deceit could have been orchestrated randomly or by design; ambivalence of the people {masses} to this reality and/or inability to recognize, accept and deal with its impending result: the demise of our democracy.
To explain the first, in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s Europe was awash in the writings of Karl Marx and his cronies. Many academics looked kindly at his theory, some even welcoming the Russian Revolution! They brought the ideas/beliefs here and began proselytizing/indoctrinating our best and brightest, first in the Ivy League but soon in schools across the country.
Within Marxism there developed a mandate calling for an administrative state whereby/wherein unelected experts each in their own field are appointed, acquiring law-making authority to set regulations and constraints across society. Many of these became codified/rubber-stamped by the congress. Since these bureaucrats/apparatchiks aren’t elected, their acts represent rules/legislation without representation!
Coincident with the brainwashing/indoctrination of youth or perhaps triggered by it, The American Communist Party was started along with various socialist/progressive groups all working in a destabilizing confluence to disrupt America’s culture: unions, ACORN, ACLU, NAACP, La Raza, SLA, Black Panthers, SDS, ACT BLUE, BLM, ANTIFA, Feminists to name a few; then there were homegrown agitators like the CFR, Trilateral Commission, CIA/Justice Dept in part and the Democrat Party which became corrosively, irreversibly commandeered by these elements, promoting the Leftist push. Then came internationals feigning brotherhood and world unity: UN, WHO, WTO, IMF, WEF, NATO and the Bilderbergs.
Each strove to change culture, society, governance. Each inserted agents in the mainstream of western societies, focusing mainly on AMERICA since we’re a God-based, freedom loving, multi-cultural society with unique constitution and tradition. We were/are the big bump in their road to globalism and New World Order.
Anyone who was happy/content with our American system in the 50’s was either ambivalent/apathetic/asleep not to have noticed these anti-American forces at work. Yes, post-WWII years were prosperous and exciting with many enjoying newfound opportunities, bright futures and modest emerging wealth. Evidently {sadly} these also brought foolish euphoria distraction and dangerous overconfidence causing us to slacken our grip, dull our gaze and lose our sense of self-preservation. In other words, our good fortune was luring us to peril.
Wide-spread prosperity and generalized sense of accomplishment/success worked in tandem with aforementioned movements to slowly, inevitably weaken and alter our constitutional democratic republic into a polyglot, multicultural cross-purposed democracy, ruled by minority, controlled by political leaders who were more like saboteurs/traitors. Add to this media hype, fake news, propaganda, subliminal messaging, government lies and you have a recipe for disaster!
The leftist-Zionist-environmentalist-globalist agendas infuse the whole of society and all its organs, even though it was the minority view. Most of us sleeping or not were still Americans at heart and in spirit, believing this deceitful ruse would see its day and fall by the wayside.
When one begins to see how duped we’ve become they must address the maddening frustration that, even with blatant signs and telltale absurdities everywhere permeating education, media, entertainment, even government {open borders, birthright citizenship, sanctuary cities, rigged elections, medical skullduggery, massive DHHS fraud, massive NGO corruption, reverse racism, sex-ed for 3-5yr olds, drag queen admirals/generals, proclamation by autopen, defying ICE} a majority still refuse to see it! This second problem is more difficult to explain than the first.
To begin, we all have built-in respect/faith for professionals and leaders. Referring to doctors, lawyers, scientists or professors, or mayors, governors or senators, we give benefit of doubt that they’re serious about their jobs, project/exhibit integrity and share the American understanding of right and wrong; good and bad.
To think a doctor would do wrong for money, lawyer defraud or take advantage, is hard. These same professionals populate boardrooms/halls of power and corrupt these as well. It follows, if you think it’s possible we’re in the throes of a vast undermining of our government and all its agencies, couldn’t it be coordinated across the whole of society?
When we listen to the radio or watch TV we’re being influenced; when we go to school we’re indoctrinated; movies or plays to subliminal messaging; reading/viewing news exposure to propaganda. All this is happening and more. Why can’t most see it?
Sea of Ambivalence means having two contrary opinions at once; being of two minds. This implies we can see what’s happening but can’t decide if its good or bad?
Sea of Apathy means absence of passion, emotion or concern; a state of generalized indifference; we simply don’t care; lack motivation to engage in something we once supported/enjoyed; rather watch the ball game or some lefty comedian trashing Trump, mocking Melania and ridiculing patriotism.
Sea of Slumber means we’re asleep at the helm on our ship of destiny, trusting someone/anyone will keep us going in the right direction . . somnambulating our way through life in a kind of smug-like dream in which we assume it’s all fine, just a bunch of conspiracy theorists shouting the sky is falling!
Many of us {maybe 25-30mil?} have been troubled/worried since 9/11 . . even before that to the Clinton years when we thought we’d entered Clown World! To get an inkling of how we feel I might suggest you check out a song by the Kinks, released in 1965 and reaching #1 called TIRED OF WAITIN’. I think it captures our angst with Trump and this calamity! Give a listen . . . mind you, I’ve believed in him from the start, trusting he would do the right thing. But like Reagan always said, Trust but VERIFY! Time to put up or shut up!
For those more visual, a movie was released also in 1965: SHIP OF FOOLS. Reviews called it a microcosm of the world in 1933; an allegory of pre-Nazi culture/politics exhibited by a disparate group of passengers caricaturing aspects of racism, prejudice, elitism, nationalism, Zionism etc. One reviewer said it looks metaphorically at the world on its voyage to eternity. Have a look . . . has America become a Ship of Fools? Are we sailing into oblivion?
If we are 30mil strong, how many more will it take to begin the reveal? Disclosures? Arrests? Scandals? Child abuse, pedophilia, pederasty and blood-lust torture? Maniacal satanism? We are roughly 300mil and approximately half of us vote. So 30mil of the movers and shakers see what’s going on, 120mil are mute/uninvolved. Can that work? Can 20% carry the day? Or more like 10% of our actual total . . ?
America is a brilliant experiment that became great but now risks becoming something less. We think our ship is sound and can withstand a storm, but the many forces arrayed ag -ainst us are altering our course and speed, levying new rules on how to behave, how to live. Result? The world is losing its sturdiest redoubt, its last bastion against faulty ideologies.
Our ship’s helm is all ahead slow, moving us in ever decreasing circles towards . . what? A world beyond politics? A godless place defying description? A tragic forlorn place that’s been tried many times before, always failing horribly? Pray, we don’t let it happen!
