The Sleeping Sword

What can I do? What can you do? You have access to information, a sense of history, and knowledge of what worked in the past. You can solve problems, you have solved problems, dealt with situations personal, emotional, financial, and spiritual. You are confident in the face of adversity, react with calm and reason, make good choices, and are crowned with a reasonable measure of success. You are above the norm on the normal curve. You are an adult. You look around at your sphere of influence, and it works. Yours is not the world of a glue sniffer. At times you look to the greater universe, the one beyond your grasp. There you see problems you can easily solve; some problems are larger, but you research and find proven solutions that worked in the past; other problems, already beyond your reach, are beyond your grasp. None the less, you see things, situations, where you can see a solution, but cannot implement it. Your sword is asleep. How do you wake it up?

The Reactionary Impulse

After being told a lie what do you do? Do you know you have been lied to? The more important event is the realization you have been lied to. Being deceived is the inciting incident, yes. However it is the point at which you realize you have been lied to that sparks off the reaction. The reactionary impulse, so to speak. Now, not everyone who realizes they have been deceived react in exactly the same way. Some are 'co-dependent' and crawl back for more abuse. Some avoid, some adapt, and some seek to destroy their tormentors. To complicate our inquiry, we no longer live in a society that celebrates freedom of speech. People discovering the deceptions of the Statists, their whore media, their whore academia, and the whore bureaucracy; are rarely disposed to making public displays. It does not work, and the Statists, being bullies (er, tyrant) punish those that speak out against the plantation. Do I need to give examples? Heck no. I would much rather look at the reactionary impulse, what happens to those who have been pushed too far.

The Sleeping Sword

I watched on state television the on the street survey of typical Hyphenated-Canadians opinions about the murder of tyrant Colonel Q. Imagine that, the man on the street, when interviewed by the Red press, does not give a hork of spit for the Geneva conventions. Who cares? When asked, it is because Colonel Q was not a popular guy. Just like popular President Zero can have American citizens assassinated, whereas unpopular President W cannot even have non-citizens tortured to save the lives of other citizens. The citizen assassinated, the citizen in question is not a popular guy, so the establishment can ignore that due process stuff delineated on that mere scrap of paper*, the Constitution. Being popular or unpopular is important, one concludes. If some other president of a stamp other than the popular President Zero had had a citizen bumped off, there would be hell to pay in the Red press, kinda like the fuss over the torture thing. Hmmm. For the astute citizen of the current era, an understanding of this popularity thing is important. Your life could be snuffed out because of it, right, er, left?
