I saw this and since it is along the warnings I have written so much since 2014 I decided to include it so that America will remain, first, the beacon of freedom in the world and not just another authoritarian demagoguery.
Even the gods can be tricked by a clever charlatan who appears to be pious and just. There is little they can do to detect a false ‘man of the people.’ who is unjust in his psyche. Now Trump crawls under the throne of Ananke.
As Socrates explains to Glaucon the choices and the character of the immortal soul of a political man are revealed in his choice of a future incarnation. Success, fame, and power may provide temporary heavenly rewards or hellish punishments Socrates explains. The fate of the chooser is decided by the choice of their soul after the meadows at the shaft of the rainbow..
The Party has, like Lachesis 1, declared to Trump – “behold a new cycle of life and mortality. Your genius will not be allotted to you, but you will choose your genius.” The Interpreter has thus spoken and scattered lots indifferently among all the souls of the GOP. Each can choose there lives of every matter and in every condition. There are tyrannies among the lives to be chosen, some lasting out the tyrant’s life, others which break off in the middle and come to an end in poverty and exile and beggary, There is every other quality, and the all mingled with one another, and also with elements of wealth and poverty, and disease and health; and there are mean states also.
He who had the first choice has come forward and in a moment chose a life of the greatest tyranny; his mind having been darkened by folly and sensuality. But as he has found this new life not progressing in suitable form, Trump seeks instead of throwing the blame of his misfortune on himself, he will accuse chance and the gods, and everything rather than himself. He plays out his philosophy as told by the prophets of Necessity.
Fearing his loss of leadership and the overthrow of his ability to draw more political funds and followers, The tyrant Trump has begun devouring his children so as like Saturn2 to prevent his overthrowing as has been foretold. No, we’ll not see pictures of a stew of fingers from Eric or Ivanka in the news but rather metaphorically with the disembowelment of the GOP leadership. The butcherous ousting of Liz Cheney who voted against his willing lies and deceit and refused to launder his Mussolini style attempt to seize illegal power. Trump and his cowardly GOP leadership have chosen to ignore the murderous attack by Trump on the Capital January 6, 2021 as if it happened in another country. They believe it can be forgotten by history as the brutality of slavery, lost under the propaganda of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. 3
Trump revealed that he has made the immodest choice of a future life as a tyrant. The entire GOP now is presented with their choice of the lots of their new life. As revealed by the messenger “Even for the last comer, if he chooses wisely and will live diligently, there is appointed a happy and not undesirable existence. Let not him who chooses first be careless, and let not the last despair.” Let not those who have come from heaven and never having been schooled by trial be in such a hurry to choose especially if they have not a sound philosophy.
Most curious, is the spectacle of Elise Stefanik—sad and laughable and strange; for the choice of the souls in most cases is based on their experience of a previous life. Like Atalanta4; Stefanik, seeing in lots of a new life the great fame of an athlete, is unable to resist the temptation of Trump’s golden apples.
All the GOP souls are now choosing their lives, and they will proceed in the order of their choice to Lachesis, who will send with them the genius whom they had severally chosen, to be the guardian of their lives and the fulfiller of the choices. Next to Clotho, to draw them within the revolution of the spindle impelled by her hand, thus ratifying the destiny of each. Finally to Atropos4, who spins the threads and makes the choice of lives irreversible.
Next the souls of the GOP are marched with Trump, as the first, in the scorching heat to the plain of Forgetfulness, which is a barren waste destitute of trees and verdure; and then towards an encampment by the river of Unmindfulness, whose water no vessel can hold; of this the GOP souls are all obliged to drink a certain quantity, and those who were not saved by wisdom will drink more than necessary; and each one as he drinks forgets all things.
And thus begins the lot of lives chosen by each of the GOP souls for the journey to last a thousand years until once again they are found at a mysterious place at which there were two openings in the earth; that are near together, and over against them two other openings in the heaven above. As was proclaimed for the Reich will America’s journey through Trump’s choice of a second life in the sky last the thousand years until once again there is the festival on the meadows? Virtue is free, and as a man honors or dishonors her he will have more or less of her; the responsibility is with the chooser—God is justified.
There was a time when the United States was the beacon to the world. The shining city of democracy on the hill some politicians used to call it. The country was growing and fighting the spectre of totalitarianism referred to as communism. There was upheaval as the United States got itself into a war to stop the spread of communism in Vietnam. The youth of the country rebelled against the established conservatism that was sending it to this seemingly endless war.
Black Americans both young and old were rebelling too. Theirs was a different conflict born from a disproportionate reduction in opportunity and rights compared to their non-Black fellow US American inhabitants.
The two movements simultaneously shifted the American psyche closer to a pure, just democracy. Nurtured by the visions of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, who both pushed the hardened conservative agenda against the foe of totalitarianism and accepted the reasons for the social upheavals, the rebellion’s goals pushed against the blockade against them with seeming success in the 1964 civil rights bill. This was followed by the Voting Rights Act in 1965 which prohibited the implementing of a voting qualification or prerequisite to voting.
Richard M. Nixon readdressed the conservative agenda to pushing Vietnam to a higher and more deadly conflict. Men were drafted to continue the deadly conflict against the Vietnamese struggle for freedom against colonialism and their imperialism past in the name of the American conservative’s visions of world democracy.
During these times women won the right in the decisions about their reproductive organs and control their future. They were saved from the deadly alley coat hanger and won the right for safe and legal abortions Roe v Wade was decided January 22, 1973.
Conservative President Nixon, guilty of prolonging the war for political reasons, found the means to finally end the US involvement.
January 1973 the drafting of men into the U.S. armed services for the continued push of the anti-totalitarian war on communism was no longer needed. Americans would no longer face the economically discriminatory policy designed to send poor young men into conflict for the anti-totalitarian war effort. The Selective Service System was suspended on April 1, 1975. though registration was resumed as mandatory in July 1980 under Republican Ronald Regan.
The United States was going to be different according to the anti-establishment liberal viewpoint. There would be an end to military conflict for the sake of some global anti-totalitarian dream. There would be increased freedoms and civil liberties. There would be equality for Blacks and increased awareness of the importance of women’s equal participation in society as a whole.
Forty five years later under continued Conservative ideological political pressure little of this has come true in the fight for personal and racial freedoms. The establishment that was so rebelled against in the 1960s and 1970s has in fact maintain a stranglehold on liberty and freedoms in the US using the impersonation of a democracy preserved by the conservatives. Totalitarian communism fell in the world governments to totalitarian capitalism but a capitalist regime could not be a threat to the GOP, a long proponent of capitalistic governmental rule. Perplexed, they turned inward and named those that continued to strive for the hard won freedoms of the 1960s as enemies of the people and radical leftist. They must be the enemy all along. They turned the finger pointing and blamed the globalism viewpoint of conservatives used for anti-totalitarian wars since the the 60s as caused by enemy globalist liberals. The assertion of unlimited gun rights and internal control of legislative power through gerrymandering and restrictive voting policies are the new conservative tactics. The GOP’s New Rule: White People Can Shoot, But Black People Can’t Vote.
Their youths squandered in a generation that has spent their entire lives in conservative global wars. Continually praised as good Americans and thanked for their service, they never understood the rejections of conservatism by the movements against racial and social injustice or the unnecessary war of killing in Vietnam of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Hidden from them by a conservative political narrative of praise in securing America’s freedom. This has left Americans aligned with the GOP skewed in the viewpoint and lacking inter-social values found in the ‘love’ movements of the 1960s. This created a conservative GOP that has become the Party of Sociopathism. A new social order on the basis of sociopathic actions and false claims by them being expressions of individual freedom.
