The
dictionary defines polarization as a sharp division of people, into
opposing factions. Over the past fifty years Western society has
become more and more polarized. It didn't used to matter if you
voted Liberal or Conservative (Democrat or Republican), because there
wasn't that much difference. Not so today. And perhaps the greatest
polarization is along the lines of social justice. I have been
reluctant to share this post because of its possible explosive
nature, and my heart is for reconciliation. But I have noticed that
if left unchecked the radicals tend to use issues to polarized us for
political or other gain. Since radicals on either the left or right
believe so passionately (and often blindly) in their ideology, they
tend to operate out of a “The ends justify the means” mentality.
And again, more harm has been done by those who were perfectly sure
they knew what the were doing. But there are always unwanted
consequences to our actions, and there are always those who are
willing to exploit.
I
am not into conspiracy theories, but it is interesting to me that
changes proposed in the manifesto outlined below started about the
same time Saul Alinsky came out in 1971, with his 12 rules for
radicals. His “eight levels of control that must be attained before
you can create a socialist state” follow. This can be googled!
1.
Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people.
2.
Increase poverty level as much as possible, poor people are easier to
control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for
them to live.
3.
Debt - Increase debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able
to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4.
Gun Control - Remove people’s ability to protect themselves from
the government. That way you are able to create a Police State.
5.
Welfare - Take control over every aspect of their lives (Food,
Housing and Income).
6.
Education - Take control over what people read and listen to - take
control of what children learn in school.
7.
Religion - Remove God from the government and the schools.
8.
Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor.
This will cause more discontent, and it will be easier to take (Tax)
the wealthy with the support of the poor.
So is this happening? You be the judge! It's not
as though it's not been tried before! I don’t know exactly who, or
how many deliberately follow this kind of manifesto. What I do know,
is that to a large extent we are already there, and to the extent
that it is deliberate, it’s not compassionate. I don’t know if
Alinsky didn’t think of this, but you can also use victimhood to
stir up the poor, and since you are doing everything for them, you
can expect gratitude at election time! You can also stir the youth up
to attack free speech in the name of acceptance, inclusion and
compassion to hide the truth of what is really going on. We
desperately need respectful informed dialogue
Father, as I come to You this morning, the
commands “Love your enemies,” and “Be angry and sin not,” are
on my heart. I need Your help to not become like those who are
exploiting the poor. I need Your wisdom, and Your Holy Spirit to
direct my passion in directions that help rather than hinder. I do
not know what to do, but my eyes are on You Lord, in Jesus Name Amen
