These are the days before the Phoenix Rising
by Sieglinde W. Alexander
However, before
the phoenix can rise he must first burn.
The
suppressed, repressed and oppressed are the blind who have paved the road for
Bush, a dominator, or even a borderline dictator.
It is
the cry for more, not for a better life that has throughout history given
dominators and controllers the power to destroy the essence of life.
The
preparation of self-destruction had begun four years ago. Now the picture is
much clearer for the ones who can see how history is repeating itself.
Three
major parallels are paramount for those who can see what has caused the
destruction of empires of the past. If we compare history to the slow US
self-destruction, we recognize the signs and symptoms.
As
history recorded, a line of ill-minded, self-glorifying emperors destroyed the
Roman Empire. The people had no candidates to be elected, but received a lot
of entertainment as a distraction. One victory over another was celebrated
when news came that their mythic warriors had conquered another constituency
to add to the power of Rome. As the Roman Empire grew, their greed for
material wealth became seemingly endless and began to rot from the inside.
The
Third Reich could rise because of a hungry nation that was mentally and
physically mutilated for hundreds of years by dynastic oppression. They chose
the one who promised bread, work and a roof over their heads. Blinded by the
parades and speeches, they didn’t ask how they would come by all they were
being promised. Now convinced, they excused and justified all means, the war
and the extermination of everyone that did not agree.
The
same scene played in Russia, where its citizens had endured enough from the
Romanov dynasty of oppression. The oppressed and hungry people chose the
promise of Lenin who began the years of communism, another style of mental and
physical starvation. After Lenin, other successors continued the control and
oppression and executed thousands who rebelled against the inhumanity. The day
came when people would no longer endure. The blind became the seeing and the
inevitable happened, the victims could no longer endure.
Humanity had no place in all three historical empires. People were never given
what they needed most, but instead were fed with doctrines, patriotism, laws
and the illusion of progress.
To
maintain the blindness, all three powers used the same methods: total control,
the expectation of blind obedience and never allowing free thinking and
expression.
In
return for being good citizens they received the illusion of having the best
that was available, given and defended by their almighty leaders.
Now, as
history repeats itself, we see the same signs, symptoms and actions right here
in the US. Again false hope is spread and the blind majority follows like
sheep. Deceptive leaders disguise their power hungry agenda with promises of
success. People wishing for fulfillment of their needs, they actually no
longer know what their deep needs are, and they again will justify their
consent to choose war over peace, control instead of freedom, power in place
of humanity.
Society
again accepts lies, because they forget what truth is. Again they cling with
hope on deceptive speeches, believe in the progress and justify all means to
keep what they have and get more than they need: they will not ask what the
real price for all of it is.
Are we
in the process of destroying ourselves? Must the human
Phoenix
burn first, leaving the world in a total disaster before the intelligent
homo-sapiens understand what is humanity?
