“PROTESTING, NOW WHAT?”
People around the globe are “fed up”, with mistreatment from those who have power over them. More of us are better informed, more connected, and intelligent enough to live by higher standards. The question then becomes; if the world’s elites are so educated: “Why are they not acting wisely? For what reason do they behave as if no standards exist? And how long do they think they can gather up all of earth’s resources, before the people are left with nothing?” “The weak, are caught [up] in the schemes… of the arrogant.” -Ps. 10:2
Specific complaints are; militarized control, “special interest” manipulated by lobbyists, tax breaks for millionaires, corporate kick-backs, and government money for ‘Banksters’. It all amounts to “class warfare”, and one interviewee said; “And we (the people) have lost!” Though world trade is down, in so-called “free countries”, some corporate profits have sky rocketed, and many politicians are fighting vehemently to keep it that way! The development of organizations by women is no surprise; like Citizens United. “Wicked men crave evil, his neighbor gets no mercy.” -Pr. 21:10
Modern examples of social change shows the disparity between the innocents, and of those who violently rebel. There’s allot more rulers who got into power with guns, than societies being changed through peaceful discourse. Armed conflicts that turned into governments; French Revolution, American Revolution, Mexican Civil Wars, Contra Warfare, Soviet Union’s collapse. There’s been peaceful protesters who’ve been abused by their governments; the Asian movement, “The Arab Spring”, Greek protesters, the “Occupy Wall Street” movement. Civil unrest of all sorts will be taking place at once. -Mt. 24:6
In several countries in the middle-east a denial of relations between families is common when religious dialogue occurs. This condition has caused brothers to kill brother; not unlike western Peoples of old. Fighting has broken out between Coptic Christians and Muslim groups; even churches were burnt and Mosques were raided as police have gotten involved. No matter where we live in the world though; it’s important to live according to God’s will. Otherwise we will die at the hands of our own brothers; it can happen to the poor, to students or royals alike! -Hag 2:2
How long can people in positions believe that force is the only way the effect change? Just how can government officials claim that they run a civilized cabinet when they resort to poisonous party discourses and refuse to work out their problems? The world’s rulers can no longer sell its citizens the idea that we’re living in “society”, when only one percent makes all the decisions! What follows next will be on a world scale, not just in a few countries. No government will be able to help another kingdom; they will all be in turmoil! It will be chaos like never before in recorded history, and be more global than the world wars! -Ps. 2:1
There’s been many science fiction writing, and films; one entitled “1984″, with ‘Big Brother’ watching the populous. Today technology now makes it possible for those in control to do this. Don’t think that your friendly local officials will always be in charge of this technical equipment! In the hands of those who chose extreme measures, the possibility is likely to increase. This type of global influence and control, can only lead to an abuse of power on a scale unknown to all of mankind. -Re. 13: 13-18
