Editor's Note: This is a promoted comment from the article: HORROR is the only word to describe these last eight years and we must never minimize or repress this truth by W. Christopher Epler (Bill)
The sheer volume of the criminality is the message. For me. These guys (and 1 gal), have commited more crimes than anyone could ever imagine, let alone believe possible. And that is antithesis of truth: it is beyond belief. The thesis of truth is that must always and forever be the case -- or it can't be the truth. The synthesis of truth into its inherent wholeness happens when belief and all the available facts come together to form experience. It is through the mental and emotional processing of our experiences, individually and socially, that knowledge is formed. To avoid the widespread knowledge of who or what has come to pass these last eight years, opinion leaders and agenda setters simply have to behave as if all the facts are simply unbelievable. Repeating the message of unbelievability suppresses the ability of the majority of Americans to process the available data and form experience. It's what the Nazis learned how to do to the German people and it's what they've been doing to us these past eight years. The core crime in this latest fuge of criminality began when LBJ was allowed to get away with murder in his political rise to power...first in Texas, then on the national stage. The utter guile of LBJ's enablers since that time shattered the social conscience into conspirators and those conspired against. Once again, like all conspiracies, history has become an issue of haves and have nots. Those who have the information can exploit their advantage over those who do not have the information. In this case, the information happens to be the truth of the matter. The truth is that the antisocial have been permitted to become the rich and powerful members of society, rotting all institutions to their core. But the rot began long before the foundation of this republic and was, quite probably, the key observation made at the Roman Empire by Jesus of Nazareth: love one another. The implication there being that any state that would crucify its members to enforce discipline is not loving. An understatement, to be sure. There is a vacuum of communal spirit and intent behind the behaviors of the rich and powerful of this world at this time. They try to cover this sad fact up by trumpetting their humanitarian accomplishments using the printing presses that they alone own. But no behavior, no series of achievements, can change or mask the true intent behind human volition. If the intent behind my actions is unloving, the consequences of my actions will likewise be unloving, and, therefore, antisocial. We can not allow the antisocial among us to lead -- ever. It does not matter how many well-designed programs for our betterment they develop for us; until the rich and powerful confront and overcome their own antisocial impulses, their presence only continues the tearing, the fracturing and the shattering of the social fabric. What we have confronting us at this time in history -- again -- is a problem among the rich and powerful themselves. A problem that they have historically refused to confront and overcome, thereby turning into utter doggerel their claims of superiority and leadership. Left to their own devices, human beings become amoral, pleasure-seeking voids of competence. Once addicted to their narcissism, they compulsively seek to breathe life into a dead image that is no more real than the shadow they cast.
