Don’t Surrender

You can find them all over the Net any day of the year. Here is yet another impassioned plea. Many such articles directly call on readers to take some particular action, but this is one of those “be very afraid” articles because there really is no useful protest possible.

I’ll note simply in passing that an awful lot of this stuff seems to have careful timing to draw attention away from other things that might be more activist-oriented. Intentional or not, it serves the purpose of controlled opposition.

More importantly, I wanted to note that so very much of this noise is focused on the nitty-gritty details of how it violates the Constitution. This one is directly inside the government, set up almost secretly and now operating entirely in secret. While some of us might be glad to see the likes of the EPA restrained from their property-confiscating rules, we all might agree this is not how it’s supposed to work in the USA.

If that weren’t bad enough, we have rather secretive groups outside the government also peddling influence undemocratically. In this case, it’s another progressive propaganda group we all knew had to exist, anyway, if only because the journalists have so vehemently denied any such bias exists. Again, it isn’t supposed to work this way.

So long as propagandists can keep the rabble focused on the mythology of the Rule of Law, it merely delays the inevitable revolt. Those who are whipped into a frenzy over this stuff will express their ire in carefully constructed channels. Most of the sites and forums for this are actually run by those who belong to the system, in effect if not by intent. Most of those who stand up as noble dissenting voices of genuine opposition are played for fools, because they cannot escape the mythology.

Folks, get used to the idea that your government despises you and barely tolerates your existence only because it can use that existence in ways to keep itself alive and ruling. Don’t listen to the lies from government officials about how deeply they care; they might actually believe it but they will always act in predictably oppressive ways.

A proper organic view would assess these revelations as mere curiosities. “Oh, so that’s how they do it.” The mechanism matters far less than the effects. We have come to expect this sort of thing and are only mildly surprised at the unique and enterprising techniques exposed by such news. Don’t get excited. You may have very good reasons in your mission and calling to get involved, but don’t let it own you.

Don’t pretend that there is anything sacred in the system; most of the demarcations between public, private, religious, political, etc., are artificial. If it’s organized in any fashion at all other than a covenant family body, it’s likely part of the system. Once you let go of the lie of Western Civilization, you can easily shed the mechanisms and the mythology used to keep you from walking in Spirit.
