Whose Lives Matter?



+

The Great Gift
Given Every Human Being
is
Choice

Contrary to what the Talking Heads Du Jour
are doling out,
Peddling from their pie holes these days,
Our lives do not Matter
just because we were pooped out onto the planet;
And if we claim they do, this begs the question, 
"To whom?"

Mankind has been presented
with the Extraordinary Privilege
of Making our Lives Matter...

...Or Not.

To accept the welfare checks of self-esteem
being written out wholesale,
paid to the order of "Whosoever Will"
from a bank account woefully in the red and desperately overdrawn
Is to abdicate our God Given Freedom
of Earning
and Owning
How we Matter to Mankind,
Is to indulge in unpareleled naivete and ineptitude,
being conned with cubic zirconias
out of the Diamond of our Dignity.
To buy in to vacuous verbiage is to Sell-out,
Is to willfully choose Slavery
to the Fickle and Groundless
And Very Changeable
Dictums of the Day.

In the end, it will be a jury of our peers
Which reviews the resume we leave behind,
Wherein our value to humanity is determined:
Whether or not our lives benefited our fellow-man in any way
Whether our lives made other lives better
Whether our lives
Did indeed
Matter...

...or Not.

Now therefore Choose Life, that you and your descendants may live."

Truth?



+

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

-Joseph Goebbels

Destabilize, Dehumanize, Dominate


 

+

It begins.

These governor's dictums
Feel all too familiar;
Familiar because the formula is not new:

The same formula was used in Nazi Germany's concentration camps, 
In Japan's POW compounds, 
Is still used in the suppression of women in parts of the Middle East...

In any system, in point of fact, where control must be leveraged, and compliance enforced.

-Destabilize, Make them afraid and Dependent,
-Dehumanize them (cover the face, shave the head, destroy individuality, give numbers instead of names, separate/isolate them from their families),
-Dominate.

It begins, America.

Don't let it.
