Hammer = Power. Sickle = Control…
…nobody ever tells you that they’re going to kill you. It doesn’t happen that way. There weren’t any arguments or curses like in the movies. So your murderers come with smiles. They come as your friends, the people who have cared for you all of your life, and they always seem to come at a time when you’re at your weakest and most in need of their help.
When you mention the word Socialism or Communism people get different pictures in their mind. Some such images might be Stalin or Lenin or Orwell’s Big Brother, totalitarianism, oppression, the whole down trodden masses, work camps, bread lines etc. With that people say,
no, no way is that going to happen. I don’t see Stalin or Lenin or Mao coming to round us up, take away our individual freedoms, throw us into the work camps or Gulag’s. You alarmists need to relax, take a toke or a chill pill. Your words need to be silenced! Your voice squashed. You are a racist!
Something I realized the other night while watching the President speak to Congress. Words have already been changed, the meanings twisted, and molded. Misinformation and misdirection is being repeated over and over until the drones take over and do the rest of the work.
They won’t look like the hammer and sickle hard line Stalin they will come to you with smiling faces, with promises for whatever ails you, blaming the other side for all your problems, and claiming the truth as their own.
What’s it all about? It’s about power and control my friends. Plain and simple. Make people feel like their life is miserable, promise them the answers to all their worries, and sit back, stay in power, and stay in control…
People feel entitled because of years and years of the people wanting power, laying the ground work, telling the unfortunate that government will take care of them, solve their problems, make it all better… Government’s job is nothing of the sort.
A line I keep hearing is the “need for personal responsibility.” That is something I like to hear! I want people to be personally responsible—so I listen up when I hear that. I think this phase is being used is to suck in the people who believe in personal responsibility and then pull the rug from under them. I believe it’s called Bait and Switch… The people who believe in personal responsibility are already taking personal responsibility. The enablers want to give those people a taste of not taking personal responsibility and being completely taken care of. The way you do that is by getting them to say, “where’s mine?” “If I’m paying for other peoples mistakes someone should pay for mine!” “I should take advantage of the system because I’m paying for it!” That’s when the game is over—they have you! You start suckling off the government teat of entitlements and being taken care of and you become the crackwhore! You need more and more, and more, more, more! Once you’re on it you can’t stop yourself!
You see it already, people taking advantage because they believe they deserve it. They have somehow been wronged by society or societal changes. And no, I’m not saying that there aren’t people in need, there are. And I’m not saying that people don’t need help, they do sometimes. This essay isn’t about the people that actually need assistance and anyone feeling that way is missing my point.
Personal responsibility is about living within your means, saving for the future and the lean times (that we’re currently in,) sacrificing for the good of the whole, and accepting the consequences of your actions. Personal responsibility is uncomfortable, hard, inconvenient, and easy not to accept. That’s why this progression to the government taking care of everything is starting to blossom… And I believe there are certain people who have cultivated these ideas for decades and the current government is dedicated to nurturing it to maturity…
Power and Control. Hammer and Sickle.
Cheers!
