From
the outset, was it ever going to work?
I was told some
kings sat on thrones in Europe in 1492 where kings and queens had
ruled for a very long time under a false claim of divine right
claiming that God Almighty had given them power over others not to be
questioned on penalty of death. There the whole property thing had
begun upon a proclamation the land all belonged to the sovereign and
he or she parceled it out to select favorites on a promise they would
use it to amass a lot of wealth and pay taxes to the sovereign. These
land owners were then falsely made by the sovereign to be royalty
also ruling in specified locations under the king or queen's
authority with titles to be passed on to their heirs. Or, something
like that. Whatever exactly happened it was pure bullshit and
everybody with a human brain knew that.
Europe became Hell
for millions of its citizens who wanted out to make a new start. You
know living as a serf to a bunch of megalomaniacs is no fun. It is
madness. So, someone had the idea first to send these undesirables on
boats across the sea if a boat could float far enough to find land
and work it.
Then some of the
royal gentry realized an opportunity presented itself for them to go
along in first class accommodations as bosses to actually own the
land that was to be found in the name of the sovereign and keep the
same basic system going in the New World, which they called it.
Actually, there was nothing New about it. At the beginning the white
skinned Europeans thought they had found India and so called the
natives of the land they came upon to be Indians. Whatever they
called the people of the New World they treated them poorly indeed.
Torture, murder, and rape were common. Gold was what they hoped to
find first and take as their own. Much blood was spilled. It was
evil.
What is hard to
explain is how somebody thought to be in charge told the other
Europeans that they (the bosses) had the authority to parcel out land
in this so-called New World to them that would be rightfully theirs
to hold for a lifetime and pass on to heirs after death. There was
probably some mumbo-jumbo to the effect God wants it to be so. It
involved murder to bring it about. Knowing just this much is it not
easy to understand all the wars these Europeans have engaged in
throughout the centuries and all the misery they have suffered? And
how the squabbles are never ending? And how they threaten now to
terminate the human race?
From the outset, was
it ever going to work? Being convinced, are you ready to do your
small part to restore sanity to the scene? I cannot think for you.
You are going to have to decide, in light of what has gone before,
what is required of me to accomplish that. This is no place for
excuses nor for imitation of others. Something real.
