Authoritarians Drunk on Power: It’s Time to Recalibrate the Government
It is time to recalibrate the government.
For years now, we have suffered the injustices, cruelties, corruption and abuse of an entrenched government bureaucracy that has no regard for the Constitution or the rights of the citizenry.
By “government,” I’m not referring to the farce that is the highly partisan, two-party, bureaucracy of the Republicans and Democrats. Rather, I’m referring to “government” with a capital “G,” the entrenched Deep State that is unaffected by elections, unaltered by populist movements, and has set itself beyond the reach of the law.
We are overdue for a systemic check on the government’s overreaches and power grabs.
We have lingered too long in this strange twilight zone where ego trumps justice, propaganda perverts truth, and imperial presidents—empowered to indulge their authoritarian tendencies by legalistic courts, corrupt legislatures and a disinterested, distracted populace—rule by fiat rather than by the rule of law.
The pandemic provided the government with the perfect excuse to lay claim to a long laundry list of terrifying lockdown powers (at both the federal and state level) that override the Constitution: the ability to suspend the Constitution, indefinitely detain American citizens, bypass the courts, quarantine whole communities or segments of the population, override the First Amendment by outlawing religious gatherings and assemblies of more than a few people, shut down entire industries and manipulate the economy, muzzle dissidents, reshape financial markets, create a digital currency (and thus further restrict the use of cash), determine who should live or die, and impose health mandates on large segments of the population.
Crises tend to bring out the authoritarian tendencies in government.
That’s no surprise: power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
We, the people, must fight tooth and nail figuratively, spiritually, and hopefully not civil war wise, to gain BACK decency based on pushing back the decolonization mantra by radicalized small twisted minds, IMO!
ReplyDeleteThe Government, Corporations, schools/colleges must be held accountable to NOT gain traction for contributing further hate as norm; Limited Government, Laws enforced, teachings for all that is true & productively rewarding toward good will for mankind, IMO, is in order, yes again!
We know when evil folks root for the criminals/communist/evil Agenda's/Godlessness/Demons like Hamas/hatred toward good people, examples like our loved Jewish people, this hatred must be scolded, dealt with, not tolerated EVER, IMO!
We know where bad people have lead other's, we must replace those that bred evil in Gov., and preach God's love, all that is good and holy! This must be our mission, we cannot falter, it's our surviving for a better, safer, world. Call out evil, rebuke Satan/his demons/spawns, and give God all the Glory!!!
