THE PROBLEM IS PEOPLE

There is always this hue and cry going up from those who pay attention to what is going on in the world that things are going to Hell. Perhaps because they are, always have been, and won't stop until they arrive.

From the annals of history and investigations of things behind the legends that we invent about our past, Americans are or should be finding out that things were never what they seemed to be. We had a bit more freedom in our personal lives, but the trust placed in leaders was largely faith in what we were told. Media, whether written or spoken, has dominated our collective thinking since the world began, and it continues to do so.

People, all people, now people, past people, future people, want freedom until they cannot handle it, then they want government. Governments have never been fair, upright or equitable, existing to serve the people even when sworn to do so. But, we need government if for no other reason than to organize the population into armies to fight the enemies around us, whoever they are at a given point in time.

Then the government becomes the enemy.

If the government were a computer, it could be programmed to function according to a set of rules, like the Constitution. But things don't function without people, and that is where the problems all originate. People simply will not follow the rules as written, they have to interpret them and if the people doing the interpreting are political (as people are) then the rules will be bent to suit the needs of those doing the interpreting. That's called being crooked. People are by nature crooked, skewed in their thinking, limited in their interests and guided by self-interests. When they become adept at being skewed, we call them politicians because they dupe the masses of other self-interested souls into electing them to government positions. Then we complain about the government.

In America we were duped into thinking that a free society could long survive in a world of people. We have a Constitution that was supposed to be the basis of the Rule of Law over the populace. But we saw how far it went when the interests of the politicians needed to bend the rules. It happened as far back as our second generation of leadership, it was surely evident during the period 1861-65, and in the disasters that followed. The stronger government became, the less freedom people had and the less relevant the documents upon which this nation was founded. They were there for some but not for all.

Because -- the problem is people. They just don't have a common understanding or common interests for the well being of others and fairness for all. Self is too powerful, and opportunity presenting, self will rule everything but itself.

Finally, the expansion of self-interest spills over into the self-interest realms of others and the war is on!

The masses have always been the pawns of the leaders, whether they are pharaohs or emperors or presidents, representatives and senators, governors or mayors. Titles have nothing to do with the amount of power. The world has a great number of "constitutional monarchies" with monarchs who do nothing but attend state affairs and breed more monarchs. If the monarchy gets in the way, there's a coup and an exiled or dead monarch. Sometimes the monarchy is overturned only to be replaced by a banana republic dictator, who is a de facto monarch.

All the world wants a king as long as he isn't too kingly, or she isn't too queenly. Give us a benevolent monarch. If such a person were to come forward they would so trample the self-interests of those with money and power that they would end up like Julius Caesar ... stabbed to death. Even in "civilized" countries today, those who attempt to bring about a free society often meet with untimely deaths.

Crooks rule.

Clever crooks seize power by small steps so as not to waken the populace before the time is right to put their plans into effect. Americans, or some Americans, are witnessing that now. Change happens, it is seldom to the advantage of the people but it is to someone's advantage or there would be no change at that time. The end result has been the nation or empire being swallowed up and left in the dust of history, for either the Goths come raging in and devastate the land, or agreements are made to rearrange the politics of the nations concerned. In America, the Constitution has been subjugated to the will of the global governance group, or NWO, whatever one wants to call it.

It too will fail.

How do I know? Because essentially, people simply don't like one another. The old adage "politics makes strange bedfellows" came from the observation that hostile interests will seem to agree until someone's objective is accomplished. Then the alliance calls for not only separate beds but separate rooms or separate homes. People do not like one another and no amount of legislation or global villages will change that which is inherent in man's nature.

Time and again this observer of times, trends and events has been asked to stop telling us the problem and give us the answers. It seems obvious enough that the answer is to get rid of all the people ... that would settle everything! If you leave people in the equation, there will be wars, rumors of wars, nation rising against nation and people hating one another while smiling and obeying all the politically correct norms. The hatred seething underneath comes out misdirected at other people rather than at leadership, until finally (if it is possible) revolution overturns the whole mess and starts out again.

Most folks just want to be left alone and have the freedom to live their lives out peacefully and see their grandchildren grow. Other folks become politicians. And therein lies the problem, and by observation, the answer to it.

The only war that will end all wars is the calling together of the nations at Armageddon to put an end to the world's evils and usher in the rule of the Kingdom of God. Which is why the Christians have such great hope in the future and none for the present or immediate future of earth. When leadership is just and the heavens and earth are cleansed once and for all of the evil in man's heart, then peace will be possible. Until then, the people are the problem.
