We Must Obey

It has been said before:

"Those who refuse to stand for something, will fall for anything."

I think of that quote often, as I watch the day to day deterioration of this nation and our individual freedoms. And as I identify those I hold responsible. . 

And added to that I might add?  "Those unwilling to stand for something, will believe anything they are told to believe."

Because they are obedient sheep. 

Why? Because they have been conditioned to obey. Because obedience  is convenient.  Because obedience takes no effort. Just obey. And most importantly?

Obedience involves no personal risk. No skin in the game. 

There are those Americans who will believe anything they are told to believe and for several reasons. 

1. It is easier to be told what to do, than to have to make your own decisions. 

2. Individual choices require personal thought and insight and a commitment to a personal decision and risk. 

3. With that said? It is far easier, just to let others make the choices and decisions in your life for you. 

4. Because you can always alibi and claim that you were just following the crowd. 

With that said, I believe there are those who are already dead in America. Dead of obedience. 

They followed the rules, they obeyed. Just like the over 6000 who took their jabs and died "incidentally."

Which I suppose is suppose to make the rest of us feel comfortable. For now. 

And the epitaph of the obedient either reads: 

"He died or She died, being obedient."

Or it should. 

And if there aren't any head stones that read like that? There need to be.  Because that is precisely what happened to those people and why. And the process is repeated endlessly in this country daily. 

And what is it that people are being told to do today's in America?   

"Listen to the government."

"Listen to the science."  

"Listen to the CDC and the WHO."  

And above all else?

Obey.  

This is a pandemic!  OMG!  Do as you are told!  After all? It is for your own good!

And added to those pearls of wisdom from the present clan of Marxists ruling America, are the accusations and social branding, being raised daily to justify them and their actions. 

And if you do not obey? You are the problem!

As Biden said yesterday? 

"We don't have a pandemic? We have a pandemic of the unvaccinated!" 

"They are killing people!"

"C'mon man! This isn't a joke!"

And the reason for all of this? The reason for the resurgence of Covid infections in America? 

Is due to all of these non compliant and unvaccinated people!  Those who are primarily republicans and Trump supporters and evangelicals and white supremacists etc. etc. et al.

Just read and listen to the daily media copulation of facts with fiction, concerning the resurgence of the virus. 

Any of that sound familiar? It should. Because the latest social branding of the non compliant, are just the most recent additions to their scarlet letter alphabet of totalitarian subversion. 

Those who know their history, understand what they are seeing and hearing. This is not the first time that scarlet letters and social, racial and identifiers of creed  have been utilized to ostracize and condemn, targeted individuals and populations. 

And regardless of the issue or the manufactured threat? 

It makes little difference who is targeted or why. The fact that they have been targeted is the greater issue. And the lack of facts to support the allegations against them are irrelevent. 

They have been identified! 

And now they must be dealt with! They must be punished. They must be forced to obey and comply. Or else

Do you want to be a Covid leper?  

Why not. You just won't be able to participate in the daily circus of life and media in America. Not so bad for those who consider themselves independent and individualist.  Right?

Or those who value their freedoms more so than getting a government issued star, identiying them as one of the teacher's pets. 

And soon? You will need those, just to be able to buy food and travel and live. 

So what will it be?

A tattoo on the arm again?

Or a yellow star adorning your clothing?

Or what about a pink triangle?

Oh! Snap!  My bad. I forgot. 

Those have already been used. Which means we need another identifier for the socially acceptable in today's eightened society. A modern and technically savvy branding. 

So how should we approach this?

What say a tattoo on the side of the throat. Just below the jaw?  Or what about on the back of the hand?  Or on the forehead. 

Heard of anything like that foretold before?

All of that would work and none of it would need to be gaudy or evidenced by india ink. No Sir ree Bob! They now have this luminescent chemical call Luciferaise. 

It is a bioluminescent. 

All it takes is a black light to illuninate it. The same way cashiers check for counterfeit bills. 

You know the drill. 

Wouldn't that be simpler?  Wouldn't that make everyone's life easier?  And after all? It is for the common good. Right?

And nothing would have to be obvious. We could have specialized enforcement officers. Plain clothes officers but equipped with infrared detection visors. All digital and all computerized.  Specifically designed to filter individuals and crowds and immediately identify offenders. 

After which? 

A non threatening snatch squad could be surreptitiously dispatched,  to guide, escort and remove the identified threat from the presence of the obedient ones. 

Any of those potentials make you feel uneasy?  Sound too much like science fiction?  Well I would bet if we could take a time machine back to 2019?

And I put on the table the realities of the present day? You wouldn't say the same thing. 

"Never gonna happen."  

"That is just some pipe dream!"

Because after all? This is America! We have a constitution and a Bill of Rights!  We have our rights!  

I am sorry, but the sad reality is that we have already seen the doors to a dystopian future opened and revealed to us by our ruling class in Washington, in media, social media and in the corporate board rooms.  

We can deny what we are seeing.  We can accept the government's representations of their fact checkers and we can accept their "damn your lying eyes" of reality versus approved reality?

But in your heart of hearts, you know the truth. And so do I. 

So what will it be today?  

My crystal ball reveals that the present re-masking and a coming lock down isn't the half of it. I foresee mandated vaccinations. By presidential executive order. And I see states and cities? More than willing to comply with enforcement. 

I see newly created arms of the government? Hunting down the non compliant. Forcing them to comply or face prosecution and internment in camps for the unclean and the disobedient. 

Criminalized non compliance? Yes, that is coming. 

Can't happen you say?  Get back to me next year this time and let's compare notes.
