Authority and power

“Authority is the right to command, and correlatively, the right to be obeyed. It must be distinguished from power, which is the ability to compel compliance, either through the use or the threat of force.”

In his book In Defence of Anarchy Robert Paul Wolff states there is the “question of legitimate authority. That is a matter of the right to command and the correlative obligation to obey the person who issues the command” There is a difference between authority and power. Authority “must be distinguished from power, which is the ability to compel compliance, either through the use or the threat of force” Foucault made it clear that there is a strong correlation between power and language. In that case, then, language controls the populace, and authority with the right to command can be done through the US election process, giving the progressives a voice, the voice, to dominate those who see governmental exploitation of people of all stripes. The US government is using its people’s money, whether it is through the crippling welfare state or through the government spending so much money on causes that do not lift people out of poverty. There has been a rise in unemployment, taxes, homelessness, and crime.  The anarchists are pushing for an end to the “police” state and seem to be getting “defund the police” done in many crime-ridden places, like Chicago. Wolff explains that “laws are issued in the name of the sovereign, which is to say the total population of the community. The power which enforces the law (should there be any citizen who, having voted for a law, now resists its application to himself) is the power of all, gathered together into the police power of the state” We realize that the voting into law terms and conditions take place in elections that do not favor us. Norms in our society are formed strongly by media, quite often by the media (which is clearly on the side of the progressives. Progressives are the sovereign, unfairly so. Some want to take power back for the truth of democracy; we must be patient to see the fulfillment of this matter. Pray that voting is fair and accurate this time around. Strangely, Wolff says, “Even under the most unjust of governments, there are frequently good reasons for obedience rather than defiance” This is a hard pill to swallow, but God will sift out the chaff out of the wheat.

Let's spread MISINFORMATION

According to the government 2  + 2 = 5  and Math is racist. Let’s spread the Truth, which is misinformation.  Let’s spread misinformation all over the place, in every household, community, city, state, and nation(s).  We will not cave on the matter of Truth, no matter how much they say 2 + 2 = 5. No matter what the Party tried to press upon the mind of Winston Smith (in George Orwell’s “1984”), Smith would not succumb, until the end.  For us we will not succumb to the lies, i.e. truth is lies; math is injustice; truth is unjust and other opposites that are flipped on their heads, and are made into the real lies that they are feeding the world.  The Left is relentlessly programming young children, to young adults, to you. Media process has you under its spell.  Stop watching TV and movies, please.  You will find only lies there.  So let’s spread misinformation, while the government is calling truth to be lies. Government and media are vacuous ...

21st century prophecies

In 21 Lessons for the 21 st Century , the GREAT prophet spoke, saying mockingly, “After all, we are God’s nation, so the argument goes, so what’s good for our nation is pleasing to God.  There certainly are religious sages who reject nationalist excesses and adopt far more universal visions. Unfortunately, such sages don’t wield much political power these days” uttering the excellent, profound, and provocative words, “the handmaid of nationalism is religion” as well, “Religions, rites, and rituals will remain important as long as the power of humankind rests on mass cooperation and as long as mass cooperation rests on belief in shared fiction” and “past experiences of the whole of humanity, will become less reliable guides” “The Zionist story fails to ascribe any meaning to Chinese Empires, to the tribes of New Guinea, and to the Andromeda galaxy, as well as to the countless eons that passed before the existence of Moses, Abraham, and the evolution of the apes” and “eternity is at...

Dirty words

  “Conservative” and “liberal” have been words that have incited arguments (not necessarily fighting) in the 20 th century.   In recent times the word “conservative” has become a dirty/filthy word.   It has indicated “hate” “Hate-speech” “unlovingness” and derogatory terms attributed to it. Conservatives have become the dregs of society, as Hillary Clinton most popularly named them “the deplorables” Another dirty word “Christian” has entered the dictionary of filth.   Are you sick of it?    Some say God is going to rectify this whole cultural mess, others (like me) think that there is too much invisible power invested in taking the West down, as evident in politics and those who feed politicians the sustaining coercive philosophy that will drive Christians into small groups that meet in homes, the Left is powering up for the take-down. Stand firm always and wait to see the salvation of the Lord Adonai More later on words that when given capital letters...
