Manipulating Society - Rise of Beast Government

When the facts don't fit a conclusion, just ignore what is plainly obvious and invent some fiction. Now we have something called "multiracial whiteness" according to the Washington Post.


<<<To understand Trump’s support, we must think in terms of multiracial Whiteness:

...take a look at the FBI’s posters showing people wanted in the insurrectionist assault on the U.S. Capitol: Among the many White faces are a few that are clearly Latino or African American.
...
Yes, Trump’s voters — and his mob — are disproportionately White, but one of the more unsettling exit-poll data points of the 2020 election was that a quarter to a third of Latino voters voted to reelect Trump.
...
many Black and brown voters have family and friends who fervently backed the MAGA policy agenda, including its delusions and conspiracy theories.
...
what are we to make of unmistakably White mob violence that also includes non-White participants? I call this phenomenon multiracial whiteness — the promise that they, too, can lay claim to the politics of aggression, exclusion and domination.>>>

In George Orwell's novel "1984" the main slogans of the Party were...

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

The people were kept in a constant state of fear and anxiety through the means of a constant barrage of never ending and contradictory propaganda. What is wasn't and what isn't was.

George Orwell, in writing and publishing "1984," was warning the world of how a totalitarian government can induce unquestioning submission and support via the means of psychological control. Control the minds and you control the people.

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

or

Racism is still racism even when it isn't.
Incitement is still incitement even when it isn't.
Delusion and conspiracy theory is still delusion and conspiracy theory even when it isn't.

Facts don't matter! What does matter is the propaganda narrative that will lead people into unquestioning submission to authoritarian centralised control. In this case it is the rejection of MAGA because it is racist, even though it isn't.

It actually goes much deeper though.

"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" Revelation 13:4

The "beast" in the Bible is representative of a system premised on "animalistic man." In other words, men whom are unrestrained by the love of God in their hearts. You see, man was created in the "image of God" (Gen 1:27) not the "image of beasts." Yet man can act like a beast by forsaking God and His image.

Jesus Christ bore witness of the image of God to humanity and described this image as "I am the way, the truth and the life" (Joh 14:6) and He invited people to "abide in me, and I in you" (Joh 15:4) because the outworking of true righteousness (ie. good fruit - Joh 15:8) is only possible through abiding/walking/living in the framework of God's love, His Spirit, His power. All one and the same thing.

To not do that is to be a beast and exist apart from God which is why the Bible makes a clear distinction between the "walking in the flesh" and "walking in the Spirit" (Rom 8:1-4).

"Walking in the Spirit" can be equated to self government via the Spirit of love. This is why the Apostle Paul would write "faith works by love" (Gal 5:6), "love works no ill" (Rom 13:10) and "if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law" (Gal 5:18). It's a very simple principle.

Yet that principle is rejected by most people to their peril and the end result will ALWAYS be totalitarianism of one form or another. You see, virtue is voluntary because it involves choice. Jesus invited people to follow Him, He didn't force them. Totalitarianism is the opposite, totalitarianism uses FORCE (psychological and physical) to compel obedience.

Everyone desires a better world, yet that doesn't mean every effort will bring one about. There are two paths, freedom of choice or coercion. Coercion NEVER works as history clearly demonstrates and that is because coercion requires centralised power and when human beings unrestrained by genuine love wield power they will ALWAYS abuse that power and you end up with an unrestrained BEAST power. An unchained wild animal devouring and wreaking havoc.

The United States was founded upon the principle of "freedom of choice" and "virtue." Whilst certainly not perfect and with much hypocrisy along the way, it was those underlying principles that allowed the United States to become so successful.

There are many today who arrogantly think they know what is best and desire to impose THEIR PLAN on everyone else and there are many more whom foolishly and blindly believe their rhetoric and thus elevate these kinds of people to power.

The United States didn't become the most powerful, productive and innovative nation in all of world history for no reason. It wasn't because of slavery, an institution that had existed worldwide for millennia. It was due to liberty, freedom and virtue. A people being able to pursue their dreams but in the respect of allowing others to do so as well. A "central plan" was not needed to develop a prosperous and productive society any more than a "central plan" was needed to develop the English language.

The United States was not founded as a "Beast" because the founders detoothed, declawed and chained the beast via the means of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The USA founders recognised the fundamental unalienable rights of man and also recognised that the express purpose of government is to "secure these rights" in writing...

<<<We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.>>> Declaration of Independence

There was no concept that government existed to "fix the world" or "solve all problems." That was for individuals to do as they saw fit as they lived and prospered in a free society.

Yet there have always been those whom desire an unchained beast with the teeth and claws necessary to impose their "fix it" plans and therefore seek, at every opportunity, to undermine the USA founding principles.

In the absence of being able to directly refute liberty and freedom too openly (it doesn't sound good), it has to be done in a round-a-bout way ala George Orwell's...

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

By redefining reality one can put the people in a constant state of fear, confusion and anxiety by which those very people will empower a beast to be their saviour and protector. This is how totalitarian societies are born.

That's what's going on today.


Scott.
