Cronyism
Coercive power is evil. It is also the most fundamental cause of all the other evils on this planet. Look, it is not even imaginable to have as much violence, stealing, corruption, warring, fear-mongering, and crony authority as you can have with the government. This is also true for organized religions, including the religion of Atheism. Both organized religions and governments were created by gods in the first known so-called civilization in Sumeria, thousands of years ago, which spread worldwide, for the specific purpose of keeping humans enslaved forever. Under the flag of organized religions, there is a trap with mighty claws. It is called the government. Church and religion never got separated in reality. Instead, they created a new religion with no god in it, and gave it control over the so-called secular government.
Gods who were initially considered lords, as translated in early Sumerian texts, were later intentionally presented as gods or creators to confuse them with the Cause. Their new and artificial status as the gods and creators also entailed a blind faith in them, well above and beyond all logic, reason, and evidence. This notion is also carried over to the religion of atheism. “No God,” which was intentionally confused with “No cause,” is just as illogical as God. However, because of blind faith, it is not questionable, just as the concept of “God” is. Suppose you question “No God”, which by most Atheists is the same as “No cause”, just like “God” became the same as the “Cause”. In that case, you must be ignorant, not reasonable, unscientific, stupid, superstitious, and idealistic. So, your blind faith requires an unconditional obedience to the religion of Atheism, no questions allowed, and its offshoot secular state, just like it was with Theism in the good old days.
Once you are in the trap of unconditional love, and all the powerful claws in this trap are singing the same song, you have a nearly impossible way out of slavery. Suppose the president, the new prophet, the cabinet, the legislature, the courts, the new apostles, the constitution, the new holy book, corporate media, the new church, public schools, the new church schools, and academia, the new priests, are telling you the same things. What are your chances of figuring out the truth? This is war on your mind. The instruments remain the same, and the methods are unchanged. Only the terminology is different. Apostasy is now a conspiracy theory, and shunning is now cancellation. You are not allowed to challenge the new God, the government. There is code out there that the new Bible must bind everyone, called the Constitution. But just like the Bible, it only applies to the Lulus, not to the priest class, i.e., the dominating atheist power structure in a secular state.
I know it is very shocking to the people who went to public schools that are official church schools of the religion of Atheism and its most powerful arm, the government. Who were always told that the American and French revolutions separated church from state, and that religious dogma was ended for good. Unfortunately, this is not true at all. It is a blunt lie and deception. State and religion have never been separated, and a much more powerful and deeply rooted dogma still exists. The foundations of the new secular state were supposed to be purely on logic, scientific methods of exploration, the rule of law, participation, and freedom. But it turns out ot have far stronger coercive authority. It causes far more and longer wars, it steals far more in the name of taxation, and it causes far more instability by printing incredible amounts of fiat money.
The notion of freedom of speech is even worse than in Theistic states. You have freedom of speech, as long as you sing the song that the state wants you to sing. As soon as you start challenging the official narratives, this right immediately evaporates into thin air. This is so frustrating because the whole notion of freedom of speech in the Magna Carta, as well as the American and French revolutions, was the ability to speak against the government, challenge it, refuse cooperation, and even secede. Governments, bureaucrats, corporate media, academia, technocrats, and so-called gurus have essentially taken away all these rights from us, one at a time. I mean, what does the freedom of speech mean if you can speak only in agreement? Isn’t it the same as the church and the divine right of kings had? To which people revolted? And something that was supposed to be ended by the secular state?
President, the new prophet or son of God, can now go to war purely at his whim and wish. Congress, the new apostles, can now pass an act, a Patriot Act, that authorizes the government to detain you forever without a trial, courts can give two life sentences plus without parole to someone who ran a website to enable global trade, and people can be exiled, detained in embassies and jailed forever for revealing and publishing the truth and whistleblowing. The government is filled with mother fucking pimps who take pride in suppressing truth and punishing the truth speakers, for example, General Hayden. There are intelligence agencies that are supposedly created to keep us safe. Still, all they are doing is promoting war and strengthening the grip of the highly coercive authority of the atheistic secular state.
Cops are shooting unarmed people at traffic stops, and the military and other three-lettered agencies are using trillions in black budgets and drug trafficking to finance who knows what? In mass surveillance of its people? Assassination of American citizens here and abroad? Covering up the truth about tragedies like 9/11, Massive disinformation about UFOs, crop circles, aliens, denying and suppressing the strong evidence against the theory of evolution, and man-made climate change? Elon Musk’s new revelations about deep-seated corruption and massive waste in government are not entirely new. Knowledgeable people have always been aware of this corruption and waste. But even Musk’s teeth very obviously got broken by the powerful deep state.
