Police Protect and Serve Whom?

The Police Motto: To Protect and Serve:
Citizens Believes it applies to them

Ever since the days of Dragnet and Adam-12 the American public has been led to believe that the police have a duty to protect them. These television shows were designed to rehabilitate the image of the Los Angeles Police Department which had been scandalized by corruption, ineptitude and unsolved high-profile cases. The department gladly cherry-picked cases that were “dramatized” (recreated to make the police appear impartial, fair-minded, and ready to sacrifice themselves to protect you, the individual citizen.

Charity (Welfare) is Power to the State

Charity as Practiced by Government:
Transfer of Power from You to IT!

I have been reading, The Welfare of Nations (James Bartholomew. 2016. Cato.) as he discusses the various aspects of welfare from an international perspective. Though he does not espouse a Christian perspective, his inclusion of data from multiple sources around the globe lead to one inescapable conclusion: Continue reading “Charity (Welfare) is Power to the State”

Authoritarianism: Left and Right Thing

This is the core of Authoritarianism:
Facade of “Self-Control” is truly Central Control

What is authoritarianism? Depends of who you ask? The most strident discussions concerning authoritarianism appears to be conducted by academic researchers (American academia is predominately neoliberal) and mainline media outlets both at home, America, and in Europe. Continue reading “Authoritarianism: Left and Right Thing”

Purpose of Government – Be As God

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR)
Single-Handedly Rewrote the Constitution

Just as Lincoln redefined the Constitution in a short speak given at the end of several long speeches, FDR redefined the Bill of Rights during his 1944 State of the Union address presented directly to the American people via a radio “fireside chat”. Continue reading “Purpose of Government – Be As God”

Anti-Immigration Phenomenon, Again

Anti-Immigration Rhetoric Common in U.S.

The storm of anti-immigrationalism sweeping not only America but Western Culture in general is nothing new in itself but the forces behind this smoke screen are ominous indeed. The controversy seems to center about differences between the nativists {those who are already in place} and the immigrants {those who want to join those already in place}.

America: Revolution or Evolution

In 1776 the America Revolution
Was the First Nation-State from Scratch

In 1776 an amazing thing occurred, a set of divergent colonies decided to form a nation-state basically out of nothing. Until this time nation-states were formed from monarchies to one extent or another. The nation-states was a new development in government born out of the philosophies of the Enlightenment era.

I Have Pre-Determined Your Answer
Based on How I Asked the Question: Free Will?

There is a growing reliance on pseudoscience to determine society’s future direction masquerading as science to those who should know the difference but do not. I am reminded of the Bible, which should be our guide in all things, that those who reject God’s truth band together in order to convince themselves that they are in fact speaking truth because there are so many of them speaking the same “truth” (Ro 1:28-32)!

Movies as Propaganda

 

Movies function as Propaganda
Quietly Propagating Anti-God Messages

Many believe that music, art, television and movies are usually neutral in everyday circumstances though each of these have a recognized propaganda value. One simply needs to point to the mid-20th century to see how nearly every major nation used the visual and auditory mediums to broadcast propaganda messages to its population.

Economics Without Christ – Globalization

Regionalization: Waystop Toward Globalization
Government Does not Control Everything

It IS Everything

When General Eisenhower gave his speech to the troops about to participate in the D-Day landings he used the words, “united nations”, euphemism for globalization. The success of these landings not only spelled the end of the NAZI government but also the end of all national governments. That day the world changed and no one noticed.

Economics and Christ – Currency

Currency – Most Recognizable Aspect of Economics
and the Least Understood Element of Finance

I have subsumed finance and currency under the general subject of economics using the term, “tangible means” of control. I did this to maintain simplicity and to stay on the trail of economics as a means of control of people on a macro scale. However, simplicity can raise confusion by appearing to ignore and/or unaware of various influential elements. Continue reading “Economics and Christ – Currency”
