To An Unknown Friend in the Faith

I understand your historical point of view, yet I read history just the same and see a different plain.

And the reality that all things sit under God... even the supposed 'seat of power' on this earth, as most the world sees as the office of el presidente internacionale de U.S.A., Inc., of course no one man has their position if not allowed under God.

I hope you also do not prescribe to the 'enemy' as being people with a different religion too, as we're fed that premise by the media. And that 'those people's' fanaticism is not palatable, yet the western-centric view is.

How can an empire be entirely good for people when we see the result of greed and selfishness... look around you. For unless one does not leave their house, they must not notice the depravity. The homelessness. The folks living alongside the freeways. Some people really think they're doing something by going to the mission once a year and 'feeding the hungry.'

My how the U.S. citizen is numb to the realities from which Capitalism stems. Look at those who work for $1 - $2 a day making the things we buy one day and toss in a dump the next. Count how much their handlers reap from their slave labor and tell me how good is empire and this type of capitalism the obedient and robotic U.S. consumer gladly votes for every November.

Does not colonialism and empire ( which has been, call it what one may ) lead to the majority of the people being plunged into serfdom whilst a managerial class handles the chattel for the blue bloods?

Wasn't that the point of this country?

But even in this country, unless you pay your duty to Caesar ( taxes in all their forms and justifications ) and now the medium of exchange has been a fiat currency for some time... what I talk about is beyond the charade of government.

The idea of paper money in lieu of 'things' of actual nominal value, also known as I.O.U.'s and 'notes' is what our money is... look at it. It says "this note is good for all debts, both public and private" and it used to say allot more.

The paradigm we've been fed in history books at school, both public and private, is a conservative hegemony as you mentioned. This hegemony, which, in order to keep power and transfer / sell the major means of production, including government offices and industry, utility, etc... is actually a tyrannically left.

Still slave-owning, but by allowance of law and decree and in lieu of Constitutional adherence, these upper blue bloods battle of the believed to be 'above others' and have built their lives on their material possessions and draw their identities from material and created things and not what is real.

The "Amerikan Dream" is continually portrayed and marketed to our emotions on the daily, and most fall for it... look at all the distractions people work hours for to splurge on... as some sort of release., so our sensitivities are in peril compared to the message we're consuming and acting upon.

Folks don't know the half of what they politic... especially when they are still working for money and not having money work for them... for our discussion really defines which line of that people reside on or would like to be on... yet it is elusive and an illusion at the cost of another person's indecent reality.
