GOVERNMENT

Another Monday and I am getting a late start. I had a dental appointment this Morning for a teeth cleaning. I have been home for an hour and a half; but, I needed to get my dishes soaking and have breakfast. Then, I have been sitting here for about one-half hour, in a daze.

It has been raining off and on for the last three days. We have about an inch and a half in our gauge. We need it. The ponds and swamps look quite full, but we had a rather dry Winter. We had several, one to four inch, snowfalls, but it is the first Winter, in a long time, where I never had to have my driveway plowed. Despite the paucity of snow, this Winter, the soil moisture is very good. I think we went into the Winter in excellent condition.

The pastures are greening up and there is more than adequate grass for the sheep. The chickens are laying far more eggs than we can use. We try to remember to give them away to whomever visits.

The waking up of the natural world is obvious. The grass is growing. The trees are leafing out. The air is full of the sounds of birds. And we are awakening, too. We have been in a long sleep. Our awakening will probably be as gentle as possible; but, a deep sleep requires shaking. The first big shake will be the collapse of our economic system. Then we will become aware, that our government has never been what we thought it was. We will begin to see history as it really is.

Americans believe they have a deep distrust of government. Do we really? We seem to be naively trusting in many ways. How many of us know that we have had an empire ever since World War ll and it steadily grows? We read about the Roman Empire. We know about the British Empire. Why has the American Empire been de-emphasized and hidden. The British people knew about their empire; some were proud of it, some ashamed, but they knew about it. We have gone through a recent history of wars for control of vital resources. We were committed to direct warfare in the Middle East, and other parts of the world, to keep oil production under our auspices. We were in endless proxy wars and insurrections in Africa, to keep possession of rare minerals. Our reach is global and no country has dared to defy us for long, without our chastisement. Sometimes the chastisement is harsh e.g. Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc. We have made enemies of any who stand in our way.

Perhaps, the reason the American people do not recognize the Empire, is that it is not so much American, as it is a Corporatocracy. The Romans and British people, took pride in, and were somewhat enriched, by their empire. Most of us are unaware of ours [if it is ours] and except for cheap goods, how are we benefitting?

The U.S. certainly supplies the military force for the Empire; but, is the government in control or are they vassals? Is the seat of power in the U.S. or is it more global? Whoever is in control has done a master job, of convincing us, that they were acting in our interest, and the wars that were fomented, were necessary. One of the favorite lines is, “He is killing his own people.” When we hear this. we know there are plans to take over another country. The War on Terror has given these forces the ability to do pretty much as they want. How can we know the truth?

Nobody wants to believe their government is involved, in what anyone would consider evil, if they could see it. It is going to be difficult for many to accept the horror this empire has been involved in.

A way to make it easier to stomach, is to understand, that this Corporatocracy is not American. They use the U.S. just as they used the British. They are the same nucleus of people who have been running things for centuries. They are known by many names. I sometimes refer to them as The Cabal, but I have no attachment to that name. I think the vast majority of our politicians are innocent. Some are greedy. Some are power hungry. Some are egomaniacs. Most, however, want to be good public servants and have no idea who is in control. I think only those at the very top [presidents] realize how little power they actually have.

Nothing is as it seems. When we go through the shock of seeing one of our beliefs shattered, it will be easier to see the rest. We have been lied to, so completely, it may be easier to accept, we know nothing and start over with our eyes open.

There is truth! We are great beings of light that deserve to live in Peace, Love and Joy. All of us, every human being on this Earth. We have no enemies. We are all brothers and sisters. We are one. Let us keep that in mind, as we go through the coming chaos. When we, express our love, for one another, everything works out.

Love and Peace, Gregg
