Better Living Through the New World Order (c)

The New World Order (NWO). Black UN helicopters. Illuminati. FEMA concentration camps. Sinister executive orders and a Zionist-CIA-UN-World Bank-Leftist-Rightist-military-industrial complex-globalist conspiracy to keep us all from earning a collecting our own rainwater, tinkering with the value of money, and looking for ways to harness our body’s electrical energies, a’ la ‘The Matrix’.

These sure are dangerous times we live in, folks.

Yep, to hear it from nutsy and normal people alike, we are but lambs being led to the slaughter house. No less than a former presidential candidate, ‘Dr.’ Ron Paul, has sounded the alarm about such pitfalls, and even the average Johnny Lunchbox can expound at length about the UN convoy full of coffins that passed him on the way to work. One can hardly sit down to dinner without seeing a devilish, greedy Jewish banker hiding under the table with shackles and a wallet magnet. Peanuts character Charlie Brown would mutter, ‘good grief’, while in modern parlance we are left :smh:.

Far be it from me to deny that we are under an assault in this country. This attack comes not just from terrorists outside our borders, but also from those within who wish to dismantle our way of life, only to piece it back together in an unholy, Frankenstein’s monster of Socialism and hippy virtue. Our Dear Leader has taken it upon himself to lead the charge in fundamentally changing the fabric of American society. Ivory Tower elites in our schools and universities litter lectures with lies and slander, dumping their twisted ideas in the minds of young students like Peter North on the face of (former) Miss Teen Delaware USA -- the end-of-scene vacant stare and idiotic giggles are the same, too.

Take the recent attack on the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Now, some of you may know that I happen to be a supporter of that amendment in the form in which it was written. Our Founding Fathers envisioned citizens being able to ‘keep and bear arms’ against the possibility of another tyrannical gummint usurping our rights and working to enslave us. They did not say we were here to be armed in service only to a militia; nor did they stipulate that citizens be armed only to an appropriate level for hunting the occasional and tasty animal. Our Constitution, and the writings of the Founders at the time, was framed with the idea of making us a free people and keeping us out from under the yoke of oppression. The Second Amendment guaranteed us the right to own personal firearms, and they were the same weapons used for the making of war. When technology changed from the matchlock musket, to the flintlock, to the rifled-bore musket, our leaders of the time made no differentiation: a gun was a gun, was a gun.

Later, when technology leapt forward again, the leaders of that new era, with the Revolution still fresh in memory, did not amend the Constitution to disallow lever action repeating rifles. Bolt action repeaters and semi-automatics followed, and still citizens were allowed to possess and use those tools. Granted, the gummint saw fit to make difficult the ownership of fully automatic ‘machine guns’ during the 1930s with the National Firearms Act (1934). This was due directly to stem the amount of gangster crime being committed because of the ill-conceived prohibition of alcohol production and sales a few years earlier. Machine guns are still owned by US citizens to this day, but they are registered, highly regulated, and are of virtually no factor in any crime committed for the past 70 years or so.

Step forward with me to the more modern era, when those on the Left try to do everything to prevent citizens from owning any firearm. We all know the restrictions offered up by Liberal Democrats are simply steps leading to full bans on guns, their protestations notwithstanding. This stance is a direct attack on our liberties, it is well-orchestrated, and it is direct in approach. But it does not rise to the level of a ‘conspiracy’, in the truest sense of the term.

Likewise, the Socialist elements of our country are looking to subvert our rights and liberties in myriad other ways. Obama wants to open our borders to flood our country with new Democrat voters. Radical anti-capitalists are working to throttle business to make us all more dependent upon the gummint. Leftist legislators do everything they can to expand the scope of gummint bureaucracy to build up a loyal class of self-interested voters. Unions, true to their Communist roots, try to strangle free enterprise with the end goal of enslaving the American worker. Class and racial strife in this country is the new guerilla warfare of the Left.

These are our problems: real, defined, and certain. Not so certain are the hyped and fictitious dangers from our well-meaning but misguided friends on our side.

There was a period of filmmaking after World War II that involved subjects of things beyond our control. Evil aliens, veritable space invaders, would come to Earth with advanced technology and nefarious purpose. In these movies, and also in some of the fiction of the time, the common citizen was under an assault they were ill-prepared to combat. This common plot has since been attributed to the populace’s fear of the powerful spectre of nuclear war. Science was moving fast, and Average Joe had trouble wrapping his head around it.

That time of uncertainty and fright finds a parallel today. Everyday people are not schooled in the complicated machinations of a global economy. The idea of working for a company for 30+ years and retiring with a pension like our dads and granddads did lies in the dark corners of our brains like the salmon’s urge to spawn every year. We long for the ‘good ol’ days’…which wasn’t always so good. We trend toward the simple things to fight what we don’t understand. And for the monster we can’t see, we give it claws and fangs and a forked tail of our own devising.

Good and decent people adopt the title ‘Patriot’ and try to give shape and form to the beast under the bed. The media of exchange for our ideas, the Internet, Facebook, etc., offers a rich canvas from which to color in those lines. What one numbskull can post, another may take as Gospel.

Common today, and actually for the past 20 years, has been the idea that the All-Powerful United Nations is somehow using our soil to establish a foothold from which to steal the life essence of our rights. UN helicopters spy on US citizens; UN dignitaries are infiltrating our gummint and guiding elections and policy decisions. The Interwebs abound with stories of convoys of unmarked trucks, piloted by foreigners, conveying all sorts of instruments of imprisonment. Innocuous websites tell horror stories about how we are allowing our Federal Emergency Management Agency to construct a series of gulags, in every state, in order to prepare for a mass incarceration and liquidation of undesirables. From every backwoods Bubba to the self-styled freedom fighter, the hysterical cry of ‘Wolf!’ sounds around the country about an insubstantial vampire, sucking the lifeblood of liberty from us under our very noses.

Call me a skeptic, because I am.

I abhor hysterics in any manifestation…believe it. I think I have established my bona fides as someone who is distrustful of our current administration and its supporters. However, we look stupid by perpetuating such nonsense. I would call it the ‘Glenn Beckisonation’ of our struggle, though the fault does not fall squarely upon his shoulders. Our misguided brothers and sisters are simply misinterpreting many things.

I draw the analogy to this mindset with the Christians who spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about the book of Revelation, about the end times, and the such. Matthew 24:36 states that no one shall know the day nor hour or Christ’s return, except God, yet reams of writing is spent trying to determine who the flavor of the day Anti-Christ is. Time is wasted on the workings of angels, and armchair scholars try to pinpoint the beginning of the end. What is ignored in all of this is the boring, day-to-day work of being a follower of God, as per Bible doctrine.

While I will never discount history and the attempts of the State to try to take it upon themselves to try to rule us with a heavier hand, the evidence is there that these dubious claims are harmful to our true goal. It takes very little research to find that the Amtrack station in Beech Grove is just that…a station. Closed-off areas at the old Jefferson Proving Grounds are simply areas that are still under gummint control, and should be. The much reported FEMA caskets are nothing more than photos of a facility which stores necessary and required burial vaults constructed by a company which makes vaults. And military training areas are just that.

We have real problems to address. Obamacare certainly does better, financially, if we have more people aborting babies and old people checking-out sooner. The media does everything they can to pom-pom for the Left. Gun ownership is being thwarted by any and all who both misunderstand the intended purpose and don’t care. Crime is excused in places like Chicago and Baltimore, while their race-baiting and corrupt Democrat leaders leech off of the electorate by demonizing legal gun owners. Money is gleaned from those who create jobs to support those who do not care about doing their best.

The battle is here and now; it is not in the ether. Spread the word and let’s keep our eyes on the 25-meter target.
