THE TWO LONELY PARTIES OF HUMANITY
There are no parties, per se, except by the culture’s presentation of a belief system by name. Today, in the USA, there are two parties, and those are very apparent. Those are the Republicans and the Democrats. Everyone knows this. The Republicans do not want to spend money on much of anything that does not involve national defense. The Democrats want to spend money on just about everything else. This difference is also known to just about everyone. What’s not known is the real motivational force driving the belief systems and the naming of them. The battle between ‘parties’ has been going on since the dawn of human civilization.
The two parties are separate and distinct in belief systems although the actual descriptive nature of those systems is not much discussed. All through developed social time, since the invention of the single unifying trade material called money (we trade for things we cannot do or have by using this material). That material is called money. Money was invented to allow for a medium where the value of one thing could be calculated and traded for the value of another, like a plumber charges to fix the plumbing but has no idea how to build a car so he charges the customer money and then takes the money to put into the value of the car: Pretty simple and also pretty brilliant. Money was invented somewhere around seven hundred B.C., which used to be the measure used for time before Christ’s arrival. Recently, with the cultural changes in religious penetration of scholastics, that designation is called BCE or Before the Current Era. Nobody knows the inventor. Gold mixed with silver in coins, called electrum, was the mode of trade, and carved scenes in the face of the coin determined value. What has all this to do with the political parties?
The nature of differential beliefs, going way back to the dawn of man, has been about the accumulation of stuff, from land to dwellings, to just about anything else one can imagine. As money took over to become the major trade unit of every culture, as it is today, the two real basal parties of the entire world appeared. One group, those who possessed and owned things wanted to keep those things entirely and not share with those who did not have such things. The other group, those without those things, wanted to share them. This simple differential definition of foundational belief systems about the ownership and possession of stuff carries right into the modern era.
One party, the Republicans, by and large, have most of the stuff and don’t want to share any of it. The second party, the Democrats, without the mass of those things possessed by the Republicans, want sharing to take place. These two belief systems have been at a mostly silent war for thousands of years and nothing has changed to make things different. Over time, in every case, the ‘party’ with the least amount of stuff eventually takes the stuff from the other party, and violence and mayhem rapidly and terminally follow. Once the devastation (think Rome, France, Germany, Russia and so many more) is over, then peace covers the land until the whole thing starts all over again. As this process goes on through the ages, the actual understanding of what has happened before is lost to memory so there’s nobody experienced enough to attempt to stop it, particularly when those who are chosen to lead or take the leadership immediately become those who have all the stuff. That revolution is built into the very foundation of this financial and allele property system of ownership and is disregarded by all living in any part of it until a murderous revolution begins and then grows ever more violent. When the revolution plays out, and those who owned just about everything are dead, then redistribution begins, and the cycle repeats itself all over again. The roots of history are there for all to see, as well as the results being very easy to infer future activity from, but those results, graphic and brutal as they almost always appear to be, are quickly forgotten or simply not believed.
The United States of America is inside this matrix of battling parties. Those parties have grown ever more expressive, nasty, and headed toward violence as wealthy, men like Musk, Gates, Bezos, and more have begun to accumulate through ownership and possession of almost everything of value in the country. And now, with the results of the last election in, they are to gain enough power to own and possess everything they don’t already have. As with the situation in Rome so long ago, there is nobody left to stop them and that means, despite legions of police and military, there will be way too few to stop the revolution from coming to visit the great experimental republic the USA has grown up to be.
Right now, at this very time, the United States is like a boat atop the moving waters of a river and that river is named Niagara. A distant sound can be heard growing in the distance, but the leadership is dead set on denying that there’s any sound, while telling the ‘passengers’ on the boat that they will be right back. Can a living tragedy of a magnitude that’s never been visited upon the world be averted? Miracles can happen, and it looks like they’re going to take one. As a normal citizen, what can you do? Get storable food, get storable water, get storable fuel, get a generator, get armed, and get ready. Hell would be appearing to be about to come to breakfast on the 21st of January 2025.
