“The Force is strong with this one” is a line most of us are familiar with who were captivated by the first Star Wars Trilogy. The storytelling of George Lucas felt as though he was explaining Good versus Evil in an entertaining fashion.
Just like storytellers in the past.
Homer, Shakespeare, and Mark Twain all regaled us with situations wrought with Right and Wrong.
Of course Lucas had electricity and the usage of special effects which as a young boy was incredible to watch.
Sadly the Me Generation Lucas appears to have gone to the Dark Side as the Liberal in him has apparently taken over.
The Boomer Generation has been having this battle for the last five decades.
The Vietnam Veterans versus the Timothy Leary Losers.
God, Family, Country versus Sex, Drugs, and Debt.
Fidelity versus Fornication.
Loyalty versus Lies.
Propaganda is strong in part of this Generation.
What is Propaganda?
It is the opposite of Truth.
Propaganda is a tricky little parasite that preys on the young and ignorant. It uses terminology like MY Truth or speak YOUR Truth to engage the inherent Individual, that Adam Smith wrote about, in us all.
The Young, who haven’t been provided knowledge, go along with this way of thinking as egocentrism through experience, has yet to be removed.
Young minds believe every thought they have, is an original one, to the world.
It is only original to them.
I know this for a fact as I too was once young.
The Propaganda in America these days isn’t any different from decades or centuries past of humans in general.
Greed, Lust, Power, Fortune, Rage, has always been a part of the Human Condition.
I doubt that will change anytime soon.
The reason things appear so chaotic now is partially Fortune but mostly Technology.
Comparatively speaking the wealth of the average American is staggering to the rest of the world.
It is very clear.
Freedom works and FreedomWorx.
Freedom of thought and movement coupled with clean water and rich land have allowed the human known as American to evolve much faster than other nationalities.
Until now.
Technology now propels Propaganda at the speed of sound and has replaced Personal Responsibility.
Too many for too long have abused themselves (and sadly others) with poor nutritional choices, drug/alcohol usage, and soul crushing debt that takes years if not decades off our lives.
For at least three generations we’ve been fed Propaganda and the effects are now roaming through the country like locust.
Type-Two Diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and a wide variety of other illnesses because food has become “comfort” rather than sustenance.
Emaciated bodies, missing teeth, depression, child abuse and neglect, prison sentences, and the spread of HIV and Hepatitis because drugs are more accessible than school books.
Dilapidated neighborhoods filled with squatters, human trafficking, and gangs because greed and stupidity changed the American Dream from Freedom to Home Ownership.
Now we have “Journalists” trying to tell us kneeling while the National Anthem is being played is “Patriotic” and “helpful”.
For the sake of argument let us ignore that “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” was a complete lie, that Michael Brown was a detriment to society and that his demise definitely saved lives.
Let us ignore that Hands Up Don’t Shoot morphed into Black Lives Matter.
Just like Sunni to Wahhabism, Wahhabism into Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda into ISIS.
Another example of a “gradual slide” is the belief that a Constitutional Republic is really a Democratic Republic which turned into Democracy and finally arrived at Democratic Socialism.
For those paying attention this occurred last year right in front of our eyes.
Unchecked Propaganda can become very powerful and as we have seen repeatedly, must continue to reinvent itself or die.
For sake of argument let us ignore that the traitor known as Colin Kaepernick, has been endorsed by BLM, who has also endorsed the “Palestinian” movement.
In another word, Hamas.
A known terrorist organization that takes money from Iran and is the elected “government” of the “Palestinian” people.
Let us also ignore the fact that Kaepernick on many occasions has touted the “laurels” of Fidel Castro (a fascist murdering thug who hates America), has an Islamic (presumably Sunni) “girlfriend” who supports the Muslim Brotherhood, hates White Humans, and loves Malcolm X.
A Sunni Muslim who also hated America and everything America STANDS FOR.
Let us stay with this premise for a few more thoughts and ignore that both Clintons and Bush protected Saudi Arabia (the country responsible for 9/11) and that Obama protected Iran (the country that supports Hamas, Hezbollah, North Korea and is allied to Russia).
For us to ignore all of this we would have to ignore that Islam, Sunni and Shiite, is here in America, and is adjoined with other oppressive groups like the Democratic Party and in some cases the Republican Party as well.
Tim Tebow took a knee in celebration and the Liberals spat at him.
The NFL is taking a knee in cowardice and Liberals cheer.
Propaganda always targets the youth and the ignorant.
The NFL is filled with both, on the field.
The NFL owners on the other hand are not young.
They are greedy and they must be punished for their sins against America.
We can no longer turn our heads or give the other cheek.
Ignoring these facts will only allow the situation to get worse and it’s already in a pretty bad place.
Actions that do not have consequences will continue to grow. The ramifications of Oppression unchecked is very knowable and is easily spotted in Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and too many nations to list on the continent of Africa.
The Power of the Purse is an incredible one indeed but it must be wielded wisely and with authority.
Currently most Americans have this Power. This is also referred to as the Power of the Pen.
For those of you who cannot or will not wield the Sword your Pens must start flowing.
Turn off the NFL and the NBA and stand for Freedom.
Stand for America.
Do not stand for Propaganda.
There is no place for it in these United States.
None.
There’s a saying, “You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.”
Let us correct this.
If one doesn’t stand for Freedom, the fall to their knees will not be pleasant, as the choice, will not be theirs.
Cockroaches and Cowards are found on the ground.
This was never about police brutality. It was never about “Black Lives”.
We’ve watched cowards take a knee, knowingly or not, in support of Islam.
I know it.
Colin Kaepernick knows it.
The Nation of Islam knows it.
The same Nation of Islam that called for the killing of White People.
It’s our move America.
Checkers or Chess.
Cockroaches, Cowards, or Country.
Turn the hate off.
