What is it that all of us involved in this pestiferous chemtrail issue have
in common? It isn't just the wretched fact of being bombarded from above
with sickening unknown substances, by unknown persons, for unknown reasons.
We do seem to know something now, about what is being done to us and why.
This is not comforting either, because chemtrails are just the tail of the
technological dragon.
What really brings us together is something much deeper even than this.
And that is, that all of us see the disappearance, before our eyes, of all
influence on our own future, and on the future of our children and
grandchildren. On the surface, we are brought together by an investigation
into what must be the most complex and expensive secret operation ever
perpetrated on an unsuspecting population. So, beneath this outrageous
monumental techno-crime, is the much larger specter of an absolutely
out-of-control runaway government. "They", whoever they are, are dragging
us, wherever they are going, by force. We aren't being asked for our
cooperation, or for our votes. This means that the very word ''government"
is now effectively meaningless. WHAT government? Where is it? Who is it? Can
we say we know the first thing about who is in fact actually running our
country? No. And this what lies at the very bottom of all of our very
justifiable fears.
On any practical and meaningful level, we are no longer citizens of a
Republic at all. The sham of our supposed leaders, pretending to conduct a
free and democratic society in our name, is a despicable insult to our
intelligence. This is a very terrible fact we are looking in the eye here.
And it leads us directly to the other important part of the eerie historical
moment we are living in. Which is that, not only do we have no idea who is
making the decisions for us now, we don't even have a population that cares.
There is something frighteningly wrong with the American people right now.
A mysterious fog has settled down over people's minds. Something beyond
run-of-the-mill human apathy has overtaken this society. People have lost
something so fundamental to human life that we can hardly believe it, even
though we see its effects constantly. We can describe what we see, but we
can barely grapple with the meaning of it. This is something new under the
sun, and it is very strange. But it is real, and we know it. People are
disconnected from basic reality at a level that actually seems impossible.
The fact that our government has gone off without us into dark secret
places is a great crisis for our nation. But if our country were populated
by alert, responsible and indignant citizens, this would not be happening.
"It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling
into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from
falling into error." Justice Robert H. Jackson
It has taken a long time to entirely sever so many human beings from their
own consciences. It has taken decades of slow, careful, deliberate numbing
on many fronts. To send most of a nation into a kind of life-long sleeping
sickness of the mind has required methodical planning, and the enthusiastic
cooperation of the people themselves. This peculiar condition of mass
entrancement we are grappling with now was no accident.
A hundred years ago it would not have been possible to radically alter the
sky itself right under the noses of the public without them noticing. This
basic point is extremely significant to our effort. We are trying to awaken
people who, quite often and very decisively, do not want to know what is
happening to them, or to their country. Most of our fellow citizens are
literally in a self-induced trance state. They have actually unconsciously
decided not to comprehend what they are seeing and hearing. They have
renounced common sense, in order not to be disturbed. It takes a tremendous
effort, intelligence, skillful timing and the right approach even to make a
dent in this epidemic of willful ignorance.
There have been hidden influences acting behind the scenes in this country
for a very long time. What we are looking at in our generation is the result
in the present of a very long history of corruption and secret influences.
The roots of the present evil are old and deep. Even in his day, Henry David
Thoreau looked around very carefully and said:
"How does it become a man to behave toward the American government today?
I answer that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it."
Far too soon after the glorious beginnings of our nation, the American
people began to display a tendency to let things go on without their
involvement, and in this we haven't been different from other people in
other nations. Relatively few people have ever felt responsible for trying
to fix what was wrong with the power structure of their time. In essence,
relatively few have ever wanted to understand or to undertake the
responsibilities for human freedom. Self-government by any people has had a
very short shelf life in human history so far, for reasons that are sadly
obvious to us today. Thomas Paine understood this, when he warned:
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the
fatigue of supporting it."
This history we are so habituated to, of a politically apathetic and
disinterested population, has added up to a cost most people never foresaw.
The price we have paid without noticing has become all too clear. Our
country, as it lives in our imaginations, no longer has any existence in the
real world. Unfortunately, the perennial themes of letting things go,
generation after generation, has culminated in a government that has now
entirely disappeared out from under us. Whatever and whoever it is, it is
holed up somewhere out of sight. We are left holding the bag of
misdirection: empty words, empty gestures, and empty appearances.
We are here because we have eyes that can still see, and ears that can
still hear. We have hearts that are still open and minds that still think.
And above all else, we still hear and obey the dictates of conscience. Each
of us knows that this is nothing special, but merely living as we were
created to live. But it becomes a very special way to live when the majority
of our fellow beings renounce all responsibility for their own lives at the
most dangerous moment in history. When so many other people refuse to see
and hear and understand, then the Accidental Activist is born.
There isn't one of us who could ever have imagined spending so much time
and energy this way. We are activists by default, because the majority of
people have renounced their responsibilities as citizens. We become
self-appointed voices of our national conscience because we have no other
self-respecting choice. Each of us has accepted the single pertinent fact:
If not me, then who? When Democracy actually exists, it is not necessary to
have credentials or affiliates or titles other than that of concerned
citizen. As Ralph Nadar pointed out:
"A couple of thousand years ago in Athens, a man could get up in the
morning, wander around the city, and inquire into matters affecting his
well-being and that of his fellow citizens. No one asked him 'Who are you
with?'"
Has the majority of our population always been unwilling to notice what is
inconvenient to notice? Has the majority inevitably left it to the few to
demand justice for all? We can see that it has, and in this way we are
re-enacting an old pattern. But there are many worse aspects to our present
predicament than those who lived before us had to contend with. What we are
obliged to tackle, merely by being aware of it at all, is the lethal
combination of concealed power, secret technology and an unprecedented level
of materialism that powerfully induces mass sleeping sickness.
We have a de facto clandestine government, practicing without a license.
The long arm of the military is growing in the dark, reaching out to affect
every living thing on earth without the slightest oversight or agreement
from the profoundly affected. People have, on the whole, traded normal
awareness for highly destructive substitutes, and the evidence of their
senses for the short-lived comforts of being undisturbed by reality. What is
there then to hope for, in looking at so many kinds of dark forces arrayed
against us?
There are hopeful elements in this picture, despite appearances to the
contrary. One great hope is in the fact that we have no leaders. Good
government in our country has so far relied heavily on the existence of
occasional great leaders. Since such people are always rare, in a very real
sense this has been a serious weakness inherent in the practical working out
of the democratic ideal. Great leaders have come and gone, but the
citizenry, the supposed bedrock of a freedom-loving people, has not been
sufficiently involved in national life. Yet things are so bad now that more
and more people are being forced to realize that they have been tricked and
abandoned by the wayside. We are not rare specimens, but part of a
significant number of people who see things going disastrously off the rails
in various ways. In every country human beings are looking around and
wondering why they should put up with having no say at all in their own
world. We might be surprised at how many of us there are, still divided by
different issues, yet united in the basic understanding of what we are
looking at.
But the price of such dedication to the original principles of active
citizenship is extraordinarily high these days. When so many are so afraid
to exercise their basic rights and duties, those who choose to do so are
forced to pay dearly for their efforts in behalf of all.
Simply by taking our own Constitution seriously, we make ourselves outcasts.
"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a
reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the
very phrases which our founding fathers used in their struggle for
independence." Charles A. Beard
It is a hard business to endure being seen as a dangerous and tedious
eccentric when you know you are merely awake. It is harder than we could
have imagined, to spend so much time, energy and money trying to make up for
what an entire nation ought to be doing along with us. And it is hardest of
all to suffer, as many have, painful discord in relationships with family
and friends. What is more agonizing than being obliged on occasion to choose
between truth and justice for all, and a comforting personal relationship?
We do not romanticize the difficulties of serving a great cause- we have
experienced the hardships far too acutely for that. But we have in common
that what we know has swept up our personal hopes, wishes, and dreams into
another and far larger field of life. We are living now in a larger world of
extreme human necessity. Our source of nourishment is the spirit of freedom
itself. Because what is slowly but surely coming into being, through all our
efforts, is the renewal of the original energy that created this country in
the first place. The deepest truth in all of this is that we are serving the
sacred purposes of life itself at a critical and momentous time in human
history. And for this opportunity, despite all our difficulties, and despite
the forces arrayed against us, we are profoundly grateful.
