The Truth About We The "People"

Why do we feel that we need to step in and conquer the world's foes. Are they truly the world's foes. Or does the fact that the media as well as weapons manufactures have a capital interest allow unseen systematic biases to drive their actions.  These companies are controlled by the super rich, that form our countries hidden plutocracy, of bankers (gold head), government officials (silver body), secret society organizations (bronze torso), military/church (legs of iron, physical/spiritual destruction), feet of iron and clay(divided nation). This is an interpretation of the statue of Daniel 2. We are a divided nation on every possible decision point, gender, religion, race, politics, gun control, etc.  To try and get you to see a new perspective, we use thought exercises, called scenes.

Scene 1:
Imagine you woke up one morning to find that your home town was being attacked by a foreign invader. How would you feel? Would you fight back? Assume they were successful and occupied your land. Then after exiling you into places unknown, would they vilify you painting you as savages? Would they be so arrogant as to tell themselves they ware in the right by taking your land? What if they are us?

This is the truth that the Native Americans have endured at the hands of the so called "Americans" who invaded from Europe. In 1613 Pocahontas was captured and held captive, renamed Rebecca as she converted to Christianity. The treatment of the Native Americans was a clear case of plundering, exile, oppression  and captivity. It has even been called Genocide. This is not the last event that paints us as much darker than we see ourselves.  Similarly the first black slave was delivered to the English Colonies in 1616.  Year 2013 is exactly 400 years since 1613 this year.

Genesis 15:12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there.14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age. 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”  17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces.

Scene 2:
A scene from the movie A Few Good Men provides a perfect allegory to the situation we are in today. In a rather intense scene the character played by Jack Nicklaus violently states "You can't handle the truth" to an investigator looking into military misconduct. He was saying that there are harsh realities to our military that the American people cannot handle. This was never more true, but sad. The question is why do people in the military feel they need to cover up the truth. The second question is why our leaders feel the same. The third question is can Americans handle the truth. The fourth question is why we allow it to continue. The final question is how does God feel about it, and this is really the only question that matters.

Scene 3:
Now the monster that we created is hungry and looking at us.  Not a pleasant thought. Wake up America, God and the rest of the World are upset with us. We need to shape up or we will be done. The primary issue with our nation is that We The People are complacent, in spite of God giving us the spirit of courage. We just follow along. We have had flaws in our Constitution from day one. There is no way to support Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness without following God as a nation. The first amendment alienates God. It has been used as a wedge to further cut Him out of the picture. This has allowed fear and secrecy to erode us from within, working to alienate God from everything we do as a society.  2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his treachery, your minds may be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

Do We Know Love or Fear
This nation had an amazing start based our founding fathers adherence to fundamental principles. Fear is one underlying principle that helped shape the structure to hedge against corruption in our Constitution. John Adams stated that "Fear is the foundation of most governments." Using this to guide the structure in order to safeguard the system was wise. The design of the government was done with human limits in mind, by ensuring checks and balances in the structure, ensuring corruption would require cooperation, thereby minimizing it. But there was one principle that they did not consider. I would not have either if God had not shown me, that secrecy is also a problem for human beings. Secrecy is forced lack of communication and can be shown to violate God's laws.

During the period 1586 to 1616, there was significant social, government, and religious change. Change has historically caused anxiety and great fear. The English Empire and the church along with Holy Roman Empire, were high oppressive. There were religious maneuvers for control of the word of God, that included an assassination and the publication of the King James Version of the Bible in 1611. This year and next marks the 400 years anniversary of secret society introduced into the Holy Roman Empire, as The Rosicrucian Order in 1614. This secrecy directly violates Christ's, way "I have spoken openly to the world,… I said nothing in secret." John 18:20.

God gave us the ultimate example of how to communicate with perhaps the most quoted but least understood passage of all time. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Here God conveys a several things. God defined Love as to give. This is as far as most go with the passage, but it also demonstrates what to give.

So Love is to:
• Give Trust         - Believe in, make an offer / opportunity
• Give Truth         - Convey Information, make an offer
• Give Humility   - Understanding, truly listen, respect as we are

It is readily seen that to mutual Love is to Openly Communicate. As Love is the basic requirement of God, as shown in the 10 commandments from Moses, as well as in the commands of Christ, it becomes evident that Secrecy is the denial of God's Love. So in order to follow God we must end secrecy in our government. Another way to see the same thing is to consider that secrecy creates fear, And as it states clearly that Love is required, does not exist with God's love. Then to promote fear through secrecy is wrong, as it makes it impossible for many to attain God's love.

Unity is the only way we will ever be free. Love your fellow man can be accomplished by Openly Communicating with those you love. I challenge you to make friends with people from other race, nationalities, and religions.
