America, as a nation, is MORALLY MENTALLY ILL because long ago we accepted and inculcated concepts different from what we had been told by our founders and, afterwards, by our leaders, would define, humanize and unite us. This is the fundamental definition of Hypocrisy, the most corrosive element to the human mind and spirit. The allegedly defining concepts were broadly spread in our most precious documents – The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, our History Books, and the Tenets of our various Religious Faiths.
We have “celebrated” concepts that define some human beings as less-than-human so that other human beings could enslave and otherwise subordinate,
degrade, brutalize and even kill them. The Civil War, which saw the deaths of 656,700 Americans, was declared to protect that vile creed.
The perpetrators of crimes against the people, e.g., Ulvade, are the shooters and the gun dealers, of course!; but Equally Guilty are the Collaborators, Facilitators, Tolerators, Bystanders, Enactors (Lawmakers), and Exacerbators.
All who call themselves Americans and say to themselves that they have no skin in the game, many of whom also call themselves “Religious,” should try to understand that when a so-called democratic nation slides into the condition internally as is true of America today with respect to massive numbers of its citizens, there are no innocent by-standers.
“The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it”-Aristotle. “Silence is sanction! We have suppressed for centuries our human capacity to live in TRUTH, to affirm humanity’s authentic identity. We have denigrated the weapon that gives power to and protects the powerless. Although a high moral human condition does not describe us, if WE THE PEOPLE, ALL THE PEOPLE stop our ritual endorsement of dictates from charlatans who profit by fragmenting and separating us into warring factions, the pretensions will collapse as the lies they are and the people can save the nation. We can, but will we look into the mirror and let it tell us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about ourselves and each other before for we self-destruct? Our strategy is to destroy the enemy from within, to conquer him through himself”-Adolf Hitler
