One, if true to yourself, your conscience and concern for the future of all peoples can only come from within, not the status quo.
Americans have a fear-porn addiction,
and it’s time for an intervention
Be it an epidemic, a ‘foreign
adversary’, or apocalyptic climate change, the elites will always find a way to
keep us scared
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
once famously said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Regardless
of how you feel about his New Deal, those words hold timeless truth that I wish
more Americans today would take the time to consider.
America was founded by men who risked
their lives in the pursuit of liberty for all. Our founding fathers stood up to
the power of the Crown when they formed the States, knowing full well the
potential repercussions if they failed. They also knew that to be free, you
must be fearless. You have to believe liberty is worth fighting for and even
dying for. You have to believe that you are a divinely created sovereign being,
and that your rights come from God, not the government. If you believe this, as
they did, you have the basis to create something truly wonderful. How far we
have fallen.
America in 2022 more closely
resembles a giant mental asylum inside a circus than a country of the brave and
the free. Sometimes I wonder if most of my fellow citizens even believe in
freedom anymore, or are they so fearful and shellshocked they’ve forgotten what
that word means? I see young people in the prime of their lives walking around
Los Angeles wearing three layers of face masks because they heard on TV that
will keep them safe. Shoulders always slumped, heads always bent. I see people
wearing surgical masks while driving alone, locked in their cars.
Americans aren’t buying ‘Putin’s
price hike’
We’ve had more than two years,
multiple vaccinations, a slew of well-documented early viral treatments, and
still it’s not enough. Everything is sanitized, every cashier is behind a
plexiglass barrier, and every germ is now seen as a threat. Everyday phrases
like “See you later” and “Take care” have been replaced with “Stay safe.” It’s
almost like safety is the new American pastime, replacing baseball. Or worse,
Safety is the new religion. To quote Nabokov, “The poison was in the wound, and
the wound remained ever open.” And that’s exactly what our new fearful
citizenry has been subjected to – an enormous national fear-wound, inflicted by
our own government, whose taste for power has unleashed a monster. That monster
both creates and feeds off of the fear, churning out more and more fresh poison
with every news headline.
It doesn’t begin or end with
Covid-19, or epidemics in general. Lock yourselves down because monkeypox is
coming! Along with West Nile, Zika, and Covid variant numbers 5, 6, and 10,000.
Oh, and the world is going to end in ten years due to climate change, just like
it was about to end ten years ago, and ten years before that. Better stop
driving! (So the world’s elite can fly more private jets and buy yachts, of
course). And you should definitely be afraid of (insert foreign country) and
ohmygod what if aliens attack?! The barrage never ends. And we’ve been living
like this for years and years. It’s difficult not to be affected. If you’re an
American reading this and you live in a big city, ask yourself this: When was
the last time you felt lighthearted and carefree?
Why would our government and their
news media lackeys do this to their own people? Simple. To control us. A
fearful populace will go along with almost anything, which we witnessed at the
onset of Covid-19 and the countless small businesses that were crushed by the
lockdowns. When we are controlled by fear, we are easy to divide and conquer.
And they got what they wanted. Neighbors ratted on neighbors, calling the cops
over a simple house party (or, in my neighborhood, over a family gathering to
grieve together after a funeral). All of it driven by instilled fear, all of it
devoid of human empathy.
Americans were already facing
nationwide crises that impacted our mental health long before Covid. Just look
at how obsessed we are with Hollywood, social media, and the new ‘influencer’
class. We have endless pharmaceuticals for anxiety and depression, and an
epidemic of porn addiction. We’re dealing with an opioid crisis, and the
delusional idea that one can change their sex or pick one of 78 genders. All of
this doesn’t bode well for a healthy, functioning society, but when you add in
a hysterical media and a ruling class working together to instill fear, you’ve
got a direct path to the total destruction of a nation. I’m afraid that if we
don’t collectively, as a nation, gain control over this (manufactured) fear,
that’s where we’re headed.
Biden’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ is
another propaganda tool
Not only are fearful people easy to
control, they aren’t capable of functioning in a normal human way. Humans need
to be with other humans, not isolated or communicating through phones and
computers. We are highly social creatures designed to take risks, to try new
things, learn, create, and explore. We can’t do that if we suspect everyone to
be a personal health threat, or if we believe we’re on the cusp of nuclear war,
or if we fear food shortages, or that we may not be able to pay for the things
we need to live. When we reach this point, we begin to develop mental
illnesses, addictions, and neuroses like the ones I described earlier.
A president I happen to think was
much wiser than Rooselvelt taught us that, “Freedom is never more than one
generation away from extinction.” It’s worth standing up for our God-given
human rights and not giving into fear, which only serves to enslave us. Freedom
is still worth fighting for, and it’s not as hard as it may seem. Step one:
Turn off the fear porn.
