"CRUCIFY HIM! CRUCIFY HIM!"
A Trump-hating contributor in another forum - I’ll call him Pavlovich - citing the pervasively anti-Trump and grossly biased mainstream media coverage, recently claimed, inaccurately, that Donald Trump had been convicted of rape. Another contributor pointed out the absolute inaccuracy of that assertion. Trump was not convicted of rape. In response, Pavlovich said it did not matter what actually happened, only what the voters could be persuaded to believe happened. Here are his actual words:
“I believe the voters will believe and the Democrats and the press will say that Trump has been convicted of rape and fraud. It is not what you think it is. It is what the voter thinks.”
Here below is my response:
Anybody else notice Pavlovich’s cavalier, calloused attitude, his utter disregard for the truth? Not an iota of concern for what actually happened. He’s happy to stand by and encourage the defamation and destruction of Donald Trump based on a tsunami of lies and distortions.
Though Pavlovich is a well-educated, successful man by a mundane standard and has long experience in the world, the simple principle of basic fairness and justice - getting to the reality of what actually happened concerning Trump, understanding it in a fair-minded way and standing up for it - has somehow escaped him. Regarding DJT, that principle of fairness never enters his mind - even though the fate - and perhaps the very life - of another human being - perhaps many - hangs in the balance.
Having previously and judgmentally declared Trump “a despicable human being” - and thus apparently worthy of any injustice his lawless enemies might choose to inflict upon him - the noble end - the destruction of Donald Trump - justifying the inglorious means - Pavlovich has on principle not the slightest concern that Trump is clearly the victim of a massive disinformation campaign, a tidal wave of outright prevarications and a barrage of ginned up legal charges perpetrated against him via a weaponized legal system - the whole hellish concatenation concocted by a deeply entrenched and corrupt elite, an illegitimate regime placed in power by them, and a captured media that slavishly serves their interests.
Indeed, Pavlovich clearly approves of all this - especially since the disinformation and lies are supportive of his own preferred outcomes - the political destruction of the object of his no-brainer test-failing irrational hatred, Donald J Trump, arguably one of the most successful presidents of modern times in terms of what he actually accomplished for the people and nation of America.
Of course, with the fate of the country existentially hanging in the balance, none of that realty - what Trump actually achieved and likely will again if reelected - matters to a self-righteous, judgmental, frenzied prig and Trump-hater like Pavlovich. He has no grasp of the unforgiving reality that, while we can lie to ourselves and to one another, we can't fool Mother Nature. If the day has come that America is ruled by lies rather than truth, we can kiss it all goodbye. Under such circumstances, all things become possible, including this:
One might think it something of a stretch to propose that our present circumstances could lead us into such a horrific future scene as that depicted in the above image. It could never happen here in America, could it? COULD IT? But once the truth is out the window - once the controlling mechanisms of our society actively and without effective opposition militate successfully against the truth - as was the case in the society that produced the above image - it's just a matter of time and circumstances...
I am reminded of the leadership and cream of the crop of the Jewish nation at the time of Jesus - the men, resplendent in their finery and luxuriating in their high social status - men thought to be - who thought themselves to be - the best and the brightest the Israelite tradition had to offer. It was these very men who, in their arrogance and self-righteousness - and, as Pontius Pilate declared, in the absolute absence of any supporting evidence - cooked up a plot against and condemned to death an innocent rabble-rouser they saw as a threat to their own power - the best man who ever lived, the veritable Savior of the World.
Accordingly, the matter of Donald J. Trump vs. the Deep State and their useful idiot minions is not one where honest, fair-minded people can differ in their views. A separator of the wheat from the chaff, the issue goes much deeper into the substance and quality of the human character and soul - how people, based on the intellectual, moral and spiritual stuff they are made of, orient themselves to the truth - the way things really are and really work. Individually and collectively, the more we sidle up to and embrace deceit, delusion and fantasy, the closer we are to catastrophe:
"For as their laws and their governments were established by the voice of the people, and they who chose evil were more numerous than they who chose good, therefore they were ripening for destruction, for the laws had become corrupted."
- Book of Mormon, Helaman 5:2, about 30 BC
Hard to imagine a better description of what is unfolding before our very eyes today in America - especially the reference to a corrupt legal system. Are we at or beyond the tipping point? Are there more of us that choose evil than good? Stay tuned...
By my preferred definition, Pavlovich and his supercilious, Trump-hating ilk - people who have no regard for and are happy unjustly to trash the truth, and, in pursuit of their own ends, see another human being - perhaps many - injured or destroyed - are simply evil:
"Evil - what some people, in pursuit of their own selfish interests, are willing to have other people suffer."
Wouldn't we love to see Pavlovich accused of a rape he didn't actually commit, and then be served up the same sort of "justice" he is happy to have dished out to Trump? Apparently, such a day is coming for people like him...
"As you judge, so shall you be judged." - Jesus Christ
Behind their genteel facades, people like Pavlovich, steeped in the banality of their intellectual, moral and spiritual corruption - their quiet evil - are the rot in the bones of America and will be the end of our great country if they prevail.
Right vs. wrong, truth vs. lies, reality vs. fantasy, law vs. lawlessness, justice vs. injustice, order vs. chaos, liberty vs. tyranny, good vs. evil, light vs. darkness, God vs. the Godless…
If you can be fooled, you will be…
These are the times that try men’s souls…
