If any of us had the unlimited time, inclination, resources, and the need or will to eventually take control of this country of ours in its entirety, what would be our initial move? How would we start? In the long term we would have to take control of the educational system that is in place at the moment and begin to modify its processes toward indoctrination in our new policies. Next would be the government itself in all of its facets including the military. Simultaneously, censorship would have to be pervasive. Everyone would have to agree on the direction and way of proceeding, with no opposition. All communication would have to be monitored to insure the above with suitable penalties employed to intimidate and eliminate free thinkers. This would undoubtably begin as Socialism or Marxism and gradually morph into an extreme form of control such as a dictatorship or even a monarchy with one person (you) in charge with absolute control over all subjects.
Just imagine what you could accomplish if you were in that position. There would be no need for courts or judges or attorneys. Only your word would be necessary and final. No recourse! An ultimate simplification and time-saver in the daily lives of everyone. Your educational system would include your categories of workers necessary for the smooth running of the country: agriculture, military, medicine, teachers, scientists, and enforcers and servants of all kinds and natures. Life would be enormously simplified. People that you designate as leaders and elite for whatever reason, or those that gather information vital to your rule, would act as an upper house or sort of court that you depend on to keep everything running smoothly.
Your long-term plan as everything expands would then be annexing other countries that have already been softened up for your domination by using your initial plan which has worked so beautifully. And to keep everything in place indefinitely, you would need to start a family, also under strict control. This would free your mind in many other ways. Nothing would be impossible. Everything would be the result of your ideas… So,
As we return to reality, I don’t see the above as science fiction or even fiction. I see this as happening right now as we live our lives from day to day. But it is progressing so slowly that we (most of us) are not aware of any major changes, only annoyances and irritations. Surely someone else will deal with these. I am way too busy. So what are we really talking about in the above scenario? Freedom. (Except for one person). When freedom is limited and lessened and viewed from a distance, there is a point at which it becomes difficult to retain, then improbable, then virtually impossible to retrieve. Only a very vivid memory. Many have said that freedom isn’t free. It takes hard work and constant vigilance to retain. This must not become only a distant thought. It must be a daily thought which can be turned into action when necessary. And who will tell us when it is necessary to act to insure our freedom? Politicians? Courts, law enforcement, those in the Senate or Congress or lobbyists? Agitators, thugs, criminals or news anchors? Anyone? Don’t count on anyone, anywhere. Each citizen must figure this out in advance as things start slipping away from our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Each one of us must be aware and ready to act in the spirit of the Scouts’ motto: “Be Prepared!” Never was anything more true and vital than the “now” part of our history when everything is upside down and we are being told that NO, everything is right side up. People who “think” know how to smell decay and root out lies that are constant and pervasive. They may be few now, but their numbers must grow.
Hopefully these thoughts are somewhat provoking to you, the reader. But being provoked is not enough, only a start. Each of us must now become informed and aware. We must find ways to lessen, then stop societal erosion beginning with our sacred vote, also insuring that it is transparent and legal. And we must also begin to spread our responsible information to those who sit and vegetate. All of our voices need to be heard, not just the liars and thieves. Let us stand up! Let us think freely! And let us sing as one: “God Bless America!”
