To My Brothers and Sisters: a Plea for Unity
Or, could we please extinguish this societal dumpster fire?
As my subscribers know, I rarely publish original content. Mostly, because I do not have the time to invest.
This, however, is something I feel as an increasing concern... a burden, if you will.
I awoke early this morning after little sleep, my mind kicking into full gear, pondering and turning this over and over. What I write below may not be of highest quality from a writing perspective, but, I assure you, it is heartfelt.
I hope you receive it in the spirit in which it is intended.
If it sounds like a scolding, perhaps you need to consider why you receive it in that way.
In reality, it is an exhortation — to you and to me.
An exhortation to rise above.
What is Happening?!
This past week has been more of a circus than usual.
You all know exactly what I’m talking about.
Nearly a year ago, I posted this on Twitter (before I gave up on trying to build an audience, because I’m not interesting in monetization and I do not have time).
Little has changed since then.
It’s not just “sides” and factions at war. It is factions within factions.
It has devolved to outright bloodlust and mob mentality on BOTH sides.
The self-righteousness and hypocrisy abound.
This is a Public Service Announcement
I speak to myself here, as well. That natural tendency to anger, the desire to be right, the need to be certain, attempting to “balance” the offenses received by offending in return and/or by punishing the “guilty.”
That is human nature.
These are the things we need to reign in and control in ourselves. I have succumbed to it far too often, much to my regret. I am purposing to DO BETTER… because, “this” will destroy us all.
That leftist clerk is not your true enemy.
Your MAGA neighbor is not your true enemy.
The billionaire banker Uniparty WEF crowd is The Enemy.
They designed the game. They set it in motion. They made the rules.
Infinite resources have been invested in dividing us and keeping us divided:
Family member against family member
Friend against friend
Neighbor against neighbor
Political party against political party
Classical liberal against progressive liberal
Traditional right against alt right
And, on and on it goes….
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them,
“Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
— Matthew 12:25 (NIV)
Panem et circenses
The Hunger Games feels more prophetic by the day. It is happening, and we are the contestants.
We are playing into Their hands.
We are Their entertainment.
We are the peons to their ruling class.
The fighting amongst ourselves aids and abets the subjugation of all mankind.
Think this is hyperbole? Do a deep dive on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Don’t just look at the pretty infographics. Truly consider and investigate HOW those goals will be achieved, and what it means for liberty and personal autonomy.
This is not a Left vs. Right thing. This is a true existential crisis.
The purpose of this today, however, is not to lay out the evidence for the existence of this malign consortium of billionaires with their fingers in every pie, in every country around the globe. Nor is it to convince you of Their intentions (if you are not already convinced).
The purpose of this missive is to beseech you to step out of your emotions, your reactivity, and to consider what is really at stake:
With every “victory” you win against your fellow man,
WE. ALL. LOSE
We do not have to agree on everything in order to unite for a common goal
Despite the vast differences in our beliefs, views, opinions, etc.... we have much more in common than we realize.
At the very least, we are all HUMAN, and that is not insignificant.
I am not saying there are no absolutes of right and wrong.
I am not saying we don’t have very important differences and disputes to work through. Yes, I said work through - not censor, not regulate, not criminalize (unless it is something of a truly criminal nature, obviously).
But, for the love of all humanity, stop playing right into Their hands with the left/right paradigms, and the childish need to prove you are correct, to be validated, to indulge your desire for retribution.
They invest so much in keeping us apart, because TOGETHER we are unstoppable.
We are MANY. They are FEW.
They fear the end of all their plots and greedy machinations should we ever truly unite against Them.
So, They will literally stop at nothing to ensure that does not happen. Keeping us fighting “the other side,” and within factions, only furthers Their goals.
Why can you not see this, brothers and sisters?
A Weighty Lesson from History
Holocaust survivor and activist, Vera Sharav, is a powerful and authoritative voice. Her speech at Nuremburg 75 does not merely highlight the parallels between the Nazi regime and the actions of governments around the world... it is a sobering reminder of what happens when we label our fellow man and direct our hatred and frustration toward them for things they are not responsible for (or even for things they are responsible for1).
You can watch her speech on Rumble here: Vera Sharav at Nuremburg 75
You can watch her documentary at CHD.TV: "Never Again" is Now
We so easily reduce people to nothing more than their political views, or their philosophies, or their actions, or stereotypes… especially in the online milieu.
This is called depersonalization. Depersonalization distances one from moral constraints in regard to those who have been depersonalized. It is a slippery slope to find oneself on. This is what leads us down the path to atrocity.
In Conclusion
I implore you, for the future of all, focus on the real enemy.
Refuse to play Their game.
Step back from your anger,
and your hurt,
and your desire for vengeance against your brothers and sisters.
Redirect your animus toward those who deserve it most: the people at the very top, who are actively working to consolidate global wealth, resources, and power, while reducing the population and subjugating those who remain. Again, these are The Ones in the upper echelons of industry, banking, government, and more who have deployed vast resources to pit us against one another so we do not turn our attention — and our justifiable rage — toward Them.
Our would-be overlords are literally laughing all the way to the bank while WE further their agenda by being so easily manipulated.
Please. Just. Stop.
Postscript
I may get flamed for this appeal. The following quote from columnist Selwyn Duke is often misattributed to Orwell: “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”
You can call me a “conspiracy theorist,” attempt to belittle me.
None of it will work.
I was truly humbled this past week to witness the bridging of a divide — a schism within the ranks of the dissident community — where anger was met with grace and humility. That is how I wish to conduct myself when the acolytes of whatever flavor of dogma come at me.
You will not draw me back into the drama.
What I am espousing herein is not “forgive and forget,” but, rather, “put aside differences for the literal greater good.” Dialogue rather than attack. Find the common ground.
So, whatever y’all decide to do, I am going to hang out in Banterville2, sharing ridiculous memes, laughing as much as possible, continuing to focus on building bridges rather than burning them….
And, praying. I will not stop praying for all of us to find The Way through this darkness.
Please, I implore you, join me in this endeavor.
My sincere thanks and appreciation to my fellow stackers who continue to inspire me in this regard, particularly:
, , , , , , and more… If I missed giving anyone a personal shoutout, please do not take it personally. I have too much crammed into my brain. =)I am not in any way suggesting the Jewish people deserved what happened. I should not even have to state this, but I abhor everything about the Nazis and the Holocaust (in which millions of non-Jewish people were also slaughtered). I am attempting to be comprehensive in the comparison. Please, do not read any other meaning into that statement.
IF is the best.
And IF we can, ya know, stop fighting for a minute, that'd be great.
Very well written and Informative article and I happen to agree with your take on the subject..United We The People Can reclaim our nation And divided we will lose it..No doubt about..Detach from their bread and circuses matrix and their divide and conquer propaganda..Do it for a month and you will never want to reconnect with their false narratives..Go to the Ocean and go to the mountains and reconnect to nature and let it all go..There is another way it’s called your way where you decide if you are going to have enemies and who they are..Jesus said be in the world but not of the world ponder that while at the Ocean or the Mountains with nature and it will start to make sense..You have to detach from the machine or you will eventually be destroyed by it..
