Distractions divide us and guarantee we'll never talk about essential core challenges. The egregious, central obstacles to "promoting the general welfare" are never mentioned by the talking heads, the pundits or politicians, to whom we look for guidance and leadership.
Distract and divide promises catastrophe, even to those who use it to further their sinister agenda.
The control of everything by a tiny, short-sighted ruling elite is now total and the consequences are apocalyptic. We helplessly watch as their pursuit of wealth and consolidation of power has resulted in a merciless war being waged against the 99.999%, the trashing of the ecosystem, and destruction of any prospects for humans ever living in harmony with either -- that is, co-existing cooperatively and constructively with one another and living sustainably on the only planet we can call home.
There are three major battlefields for this amoral and sociopathic assault and we rarely have meaningful discussions about them, are forced to wade through a swamp of deceit and disinformation to even identify and try to address them, or are consigned to having non-sensical discussions which have no possible impact on outcomes.
Wealth Inequality: The funneling of wealth upwards has accelerated and long ago passed the threshold of irreversibility. 24,000 people die a day from starvation, while guys like Bezos, Gates and Musk have so much money they couldn't spend it all in a million lifetimes. Corporations continue to consolidate and a handful of investment firms literally own everything. The system rewards monomaniacal pursuit of obscene levels of riches and opulence, the media lionizes self-aggrandizement. Every major religion has posted the warnings. Maybe they're onto something.
War and Peace: War has become a religion and 'peace' an expletive. The U.S. economy is now built around and defended by endless wars and requires world conquest to continue satisfying its rapacious appetite. Arrogance and hubris have replaced civility and common sense. We are now confronting two major nuclear powers at the same time, Russia and China. The U.S. won't back off and Russia and China will not bow down. Total war would be the last chapter in human history. No need to return the book to the library. Books and libraries would be radioactive dust.
Ecological Destruction: Notice I didn't say 'climate change' and this is intentional. Because this exemplifies precisely how the cabal uses a worthy topic to defeat any hope for real reform. Climate change is one component of a war on the entire ecosystem which supports all life, which includes ocean depletion, toxicity of air and water, species extinction, soil depletion, desertification, deforestation, promotion of monoculture, not to mention the assault on the human organism with poorly tested medicinal drugs, chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, food additives, industrial and agricultural pollution, manmade radiation, the intensification of exposure to electromagnetic waves, gene "therapies" and genetic modification of foods, on and on. We are directed to focus all of our attention on climate change, a battle we might at best win -- likely will not win at all -- over the next five decades, at the expense of all other perilous policies and undertakings, working in sync to compromise and probably destroy the prospects for survival of life on Earth. Pretty clever, eh?
Distract and divide assures that these three destructive trends work synergistically. Wealth inequality is created and sustained by war, war itself makes the rich richer, the military is the number one institutional source of ecological destruction, ecological destruction drives desperation and creates the conditions for war over resources and resource-rich territory, wealth inequality puts the decisions about the health of ecosystems in the hands of those who are incentivized to externalize the damages their pursuit of wealth creates -- dumping it in the laps of the 99.999% -- likewise with the decisions to go to war. It's an endless, accelerating, self-reinforcing, negative feedback loop -- a race to the bottom in terms of quality of life and a hopeful or even survivable future for the masses of humanity. We are too distracted to assess and discuss them rationally and constructively, too divided to put up even a weak fight.
All three of these globalized pathologies likewise reinforce political control, as power is in parallel funneled and concentrated upwards.
Reversing any and all of this can only be achieved with focus and unity by a huge percentage of the global population: unwavering focus and unassailable unity directly targeting those responsible for the unfolding catastrophe.
There are two courses of action with the potential to break and defeat this skewed, oppressive, top-heavy, hierarchical system.
1) Imprisoning or killing the rich and powerful.
. . . and/or . . .
2) Vanquishing their control of all private and government institutions, then restructuring the entire system.
Neither is pleasant or easy. It seems, however, these two options are still on the table.
