Our trust is the source of their power and, yes, they are pretty clueless but just aware enough to be afraid.
People are laughing at the House of Representatives. The SCOTUS is not respected. The police are assumed to be liars. Wall Street is obviously a den of thieves. The “brilliant” techno-billionaires are 3rd-rate Bond villains and bumbling buffoons.
Authorities everywhere are exposed and they know it and they are afraid. They should be. Their game is nearly over — just as long as WE finish off their stupid game. It’s time for responsible adults to take charge.
We need to take away their toys. Their military weapons. Their dangerous clown shows pretending to be serious institutions. Media that reduces a climate collapse to a situation that might affect a political career or the size of a billionaire’s fortune.
Authorities are clueless that the billions of human beings and the lives of all the creatures on this Earth are what matters. They actually believe that all that matters is themselves and their money and their power. And, most of all, that we respect and obey them.
As they continue to lie and to abuse us and to fail at their responsibilities, they plead for us to trust and respect them. Have you noticed?
