As tyranny rises, we ask why. Where does tyranny come from?

::::::::

The average American is a relatively simple person whose main desire is for a secure and happy life. Power and control over large masses of people or entire nations does not interest those us concerned with making a living and caring for our families.

It is impossible for us then to understand a tyrant, because we do not lust for power. So we delude ourselves and believe the tyrants when they lie to us and tell us they have our best interests at heart. After all, how could anyone in power actually be behind planes blowing up buildings? Only a madman could do such a thing, right?

Exactly. The tyrant utterly depends on our naive faith in the general overall goodness of our fellow man, expecially those who would lead us.

That faith will be tested this holiday weekend when hundreds of thousands of citizens face the choice of being poisoned by radioactive energy in the porno scanner at the airport, or being sexually molested by government employees.

There is no choice here, and your blind faith in the benign patriarch that will save you will be cracked wide open as you watch them fondle your wifes breasts in public view or hear your son screaming for them to stop touching him "down there" while they look for explosives.

Time to wake up, America. Even though they own it all and control it all, the tyrants want more, always more. And the traditional means through which change is brought about are closed doors. You have no power and you don't matter. Your leaders do not care about you, that is plain. The question is, will you care for yourself? Will your care for your countrymen?

They divide and conquer us, as they have throughout history. Black vs white republican vs democrat, gay vs straight, christian vs muslim. They use belief systems to separate us because they know if we band together, all 300 million of us, there isn't damn thing they can do about it.

Why does the tyrant choose to seek power? Because in his heart he is empty and he feels he has none. Why does an American allow the tyrant do enslave him? Because he is still waiting for the benign patriarch to save him. So the tyrant blows up a few folks, smiles, and tells us, don't worry, I'll protect you.

So we are divided again, and we suffer as the tyrant gets his temporary power fix. Until it wears off and he grasps for more.

There will be no end to the suffering of man until he stops seeking outside of himself for that which is already inside of himself.

To the tyrant I will say no. I will not pay your taxes, fly in your airplanes, or die in your stupid wars.

To my countryman I will say welcome brother, I recognize the god within you.

The fear of the tyrant is no match for the love of man.
