How The Corrupt Establishment Is Selling Moral Bankruptcy To America Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/15/2013 11:23 -0400
Submitted by Brandon Smith of Alt-Market.com,
Morality is a highly misunderstood component of human nature. Some people believe they can create moral guidelines from thin air based on their personal biases and prejudices. Some people believe that morality comes from the force of bureaucracy and government law. Still, others believe that there is no such thing; that morality is a facade created by men in order to better grease the wheels of society.
All of these world views discount the powerful scientific and psychological evidence surrounding Natural Law — the laws that human beings form internally due to inherent conscience regardless of environmental circumstances. When a person finally grasps inborn morality, the whole of the world comes into focus. The reality is that we are not born “good” or “evil.” Rather, we are all born with the capacity for good AND evil, and this internal battle stays with us until the end of our days.
Every waking moment we are given a choice, a test of our free will, to be ruled by desire and fear, or to do what we know at our very core is right. When a man silences his inner voice, the results can be terrible for him and those around him. When an entire culture silences its inner voice, the results can be catastrophic. Such a shift in the moral compass of a society rarely takes place in a vacuum. There is always a false shepherd, a corrupt leadership that seeks to rule. Rulership, though, is difficult in the face of an awake population that respects integrity and honor. Therefore criminals must follow these specific steps in order to take power:
Pretend To Be Righteous:. . .
Pretend To Be Patriotic: . . .
Offer To “Fix” The Economy: . . .
Offer To Lend A Hand: . . .
Create External Fear: . . .
Create Internal Fear: . . .
Sell The People On The Virtues Of Moral Relativism: . . .
. . . Honesty must be replaced with deceit. Dissent must be replaced with silence. Peace must be replaced with violence. The independent should be treated with suspicion. The outspoken treated with contempt. Women and children are no longer people to be protected, but targets to be eliminated. The innocent dead become collateral damage. The innocent living become informants to be tortured and exploited. Good men are labeled cowards because they refuse to “do what needs to be done,” while evil men are labeled heroes for having the “strength of will” to abandon their conscience. . . . The American narrative is quickly changing. There has long been criminality and degeneracy within our government (Democrat and Republican) and the corporate cartels surrounding it, but I believe what we are witnessing today is the final step in the metamorphosis that is totalitarianism. The last stage accelerates when the average citizen is not just complicit in the deeds of devils, but when he becomes a devil himself. When Americans froth and stomp in excitement for the carnival of death, and treat the truth as poison, then the transformation will be complete.
for me this involved a born again spiritual awakening. we are indeed born quite cute as babies but with this capacity for good and evil. That capacity for evil is indeed a part of our being. But that is denied these days. Educators are trying to neutralize the evil by saying we make bad choices. Yes we do but there is a deeper cause for these bad choices that is being denied.

agreed, it is no longer an allegiance to the truth that determines an action's rightness, it is the purposes of the group's agenda. example Bill Clinton and the NOW nags. They sure clammed up when it was Bill doing the sexual predator behaviors. Not a peep regarding the unequal power relationship between an intern and the POTUS. Not a peep. Suddenly we have consensual sex between two adults???

Yup, that denial of the potential evil in human nature is at the core of all progressive, statist, fascist, etc. philosophies. They are under the illusion that human beings can be micromanaged by bureaucrats / technocrats into making good choices.

Well any student of human nature learns quickly of the basic flaw in humans, selfishness. Christians and people who are in relationship with God call it sin. As you say that isn't part of the liberal "reality".
