THE REBIRTH OF A NATION
That the United States, which so many living citizens, particularly those of a certain age, once knew, is already gone. Not completely undone by the current autocratic dictatorship’s attempted takeover, but founded upon the technological developments of the Internet, lightning-fast computers, cell phones, television, and even surveillance devices and systems. Now the culture must accommodate robots that look and act better than humans, at least the sexual Caucasians (female, of course, and in the twenty-year-old appearance range) ones displayed so far, plus work robots, and finally, or maybe not so finally, these artifices termed cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. When high tech meets even higher theft, but all reserved for those living at the very top of the pyramid schemes, while their computers keep absorbing energy and spewing out nonsense, because computers don’t produce either money or intellect unless investment in other, more grounded devices is accessed and used.
The nation as it was could not stand this withering attack and what’s going on right now is sort of like one of the old ships of the line in the 1700’s coming slowly apart in massive seas of disinformation, lies, misstatements while winds of great deceiving velocity pull each timber, and each sail that made the entire ship able to navigate the oceans of the world. The United States is but one analogous ship on this vast planet referred to here as an ocean. There are 194, at last count, other ships, none as colossal, sleek, fast, or armored, but they are there, nevertheless. As the great USS United States as a country, follows the real ocean liner called also the USS United States to the scrapyard, others will be implored by the passing to step in and up to take hold.
The U.S. itself may go down in tattered disarray and disaster, but some will survive, and the remnants of the U.S. will still be here to be rebuilt and reassembled. The question truly is not one of whether the breakup and carnage will happen; it is more about the ‘crew’ of that great ship.
The current crew is broken and dedicated to following a captain who’s steering the ‘vessel’ toward the schools and rocks, closer every day. That the crew will not step in to redirect things is possibly the greatest causal factor helping to motivate the disaster occurring right before its very eyes. The captain, the executive officer, and all the appointed and elected other officers are gathering in everything of value, thinking that they will survive the ship’s loss to move on out to get aboard the other ships that are still afloat. But they’ve never, not one of them, ever been on the deck or inside such a magnificent sailing Titanic before, and so they really don’t know what’s coming.
It is slowly becoming painful to observe the poor, the downtrodden, the street people, the prisoners, the old, the unhealthy, the demented, and even the vapidly stupid creatures of humanity that are truly the lower below decks crew of this whole thing, none to be allowed on deck nor to sit in the padded lifeboats or to be handed life vests. Those, by the way, are the men, women, and children of Jesus Christ, who spoke about them to his apostles to forge and write the New Testament of the Holy Bible, and that fact is also being overlooked by the officers up top in and around the bridge. Jesus does not have to return to save or rebuild the United States of America. No. All he had to do was look down with displeasure to observe that America had chosen not to be of the New Testament.
There will be a new dawn, but not before tumult and violence of an order never either witnessed or predicted will sweep the world. That prediction is easy to make, although it’s not this writer’s, as it is written in the very last book of that highly revered, but little followed book called the Holy Bible.
“Yea, that I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, because Thou art with me.” Kneel this night, pray, and ask God to be on his team, part of his crew, and to be part of those who’ll be left to rebuild according to His recommendations.
