WEEKLY THOUGHTS:

The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.

- St. George Tucker

LIE, CHEAT AND STEAL

 

 


 

By the standards of any civilization to lie, to cheat and to steal are not acceptable in dealing with others. These are immoral activities and on a person to person basis they are game changers. The courts do not accept this sort of behavior. They usually punish it with fines or jail or both. Yet, in government activities these ill conceived actions are not only accepted but they are supported election after election. If government people had to stand up to the responsibilities that normal Americans must there would be many impeachments. Politicians, as far back as history goes have been best known for these three evils. Does anyone really think that there will ever be a change in those traits by politicians? Common sense says an emphatic no to that absurd assumption. Of course, every politician may not be cursed with these characteristics, but a super majority certainly are. These characteristics are exactly the reason that government people do evil things and nothing different from that should ever be expected. A wise voter will always keep this truth in the forefront of his or her mind and act accordingly. To act accordingly in the "civilian" world means to not accept that type of person in any position of trust. And furthermore if these evils are shown to exist in a person that person is usually fired, punished, isolated or jailed, whatever be the case and in the case of government people impeachment should be the first punishment that comes to mind. So, why do Americans accept and support such evil in their government people? Are Americans, as well as other peoples of the world just "useful idiots," as Lenin would call them or are they part of the scam of government people’s schemes?

 

Time and time again the manipulation of the populace is played out to their detriment. This occurrence has happened over and over in American history and will continue to happen as long as Americans allow the politicians to do it. For t hose Americans who think that this is too harsh or not even happening the case of Social Security is a huge example of lying, cheating and stealing by the people in government, because it is so obviously a scam. President Roosevelt and Congress lied to the American people stating that Social Security would be insurance, which it is not. They said that funds would be held in trust for each American to draw on in retirement, which they did not do. They told the American people the lie because that was the only way that the people would accept it. They cheated the American people by spending the money that was taken from their paychecks instead of setting it aside for their retirement. They stole from the people by forcefully taking money from their paychecks that the people could have put into their own savings or investments for their own retirement, and wealth building. Similar evils have happened thousands and thousands of times under the delusion that the people in government are looking out for all Americans. That is absurd. Support for these evils is wrong. The current recipients of Social Security have been duped into thinking that they are getting what they paid for. This is not true. They were duped into paying Social Security to other unknown retirees while they were working and now they are living off of the current workers. They have been lied into being dependent upon others’ earnings and now they think that they cannot escape. But they now can support a phasing out of this evil as soon as possible. Because evil has been done to you does not give you the right to do evil to others. No one needs to know whether you have been a "useful idiot" or one of the perpetrators of the lying, cheating and stealing. But you can stop now and FOCUS ON FREEDOM, both yours and others.
