We can watch our values erode under bureaucratic rule, or we can reclaim what matters; the future is ours to shape. Do we really need to witness yet again how absurd we’ve become? Apparently so, as we still haven’t met the challenge.
Have you read about the gang rape victim in Spain who opted for state-sponsored suicide in her grief? I’ll save you the trouble of reading the horrific details. The short version is that immigrants raped Noelia Castillo Ramos. She couldn’t deal with the psychological trauma, jumped off a five-story building, survived, and was no longer able to walk. She requested state-sanctioned euthanasia in 2021. Finally, after multiple legal appeals, she was granted her wish just last month, only to decide at the last moment not to go through with it. Wait, it gets worse:
A 25-year-old woman in Spain was euthanized Thursday after authorities allegedly denied her written request to postpone her death for six months so she could reconsider, the family's lawyer claimed. The request, submitted ahead of the scheduled assisted suicide, was allegedly not accepted by the administration, which determined that she had expressed “only doubts,” a rationale that carried no legal standing in the decision-making process, according to her father’s lawyer, Polonia Castellanos.
Process should never trump a human life. Unfortunately, that is not the way the state thinks in what is supposedly an enlightened society. Enlightend? No. It amounts to state-sanctioned murder, too much like ‘Home Centers’ in the movie Soylent Green.
The fact that Noelia lived in Spain makes this no less tragic or relatable, as we have seen state-sponsored euthanasia or assisted suicide spreading like wildfire all over, including Canada and the United States, often for non-life-threatening or straight-up “I don’t like my life” reasons. Like so many cases right here in America, Noelia’s attackers were never charged. Stories like this are all too common today.
The absurdity of what our society and government values, incentivizes, protects, and punishes is driving some to suicide, while others mentally check out in large numbers each year, all to benefit the state that requires your dependence, subservience, and likes you to be in a perpetual state of anxiety, the better to solidify its control over us.
Plugged into the news 24/7, it’s not difficult to become inured, even hardened, exposed to one horrific story after another. Reports that should genuinely shock our conscience slough off us too easily. The list of truly astonishing violent crimes committed, the lack of consequences, and the reality that society continually whiffs out instead of standing up and demanding action is shocking and depressing, leading to a huge number of people tuning out and no longer seriously participating in finding solutions.
Whether we are discussing social mores and their consequences, as in the above, or out-and-out criminal activity, as we will see below, the net effect leaves us circling the drain. We’d better find our footing quickly to arrest our decline. Too many stories like Gen-Z workers napping and crying at lunch, lamenting having to work for a living... It’s so stressful! Really?
Our entire society needs a reboot! Our values, our expectations, and, most importantly, our lack of self-reliance are spreading like a cancer that will inevitably bring about our demise if not reversed. We must understand that what’s happening, visible to anyone who looks, is no accident. It is part of a plan we see rolling out everywhere, championed by Democrats and their anti-American supporters. Disbelieve me at your peril.
Government at all levels has a vested interest in your passivity and in your viewing everything transpiring as hopelessly difficult for any individual to intervene and make a difference. Witness all those people recording crimes with their cell phones—citizen reporters or just an audience?
With lawmakers unwilling to write tough laws, even sensible laws, and then actually follow through with taking the worst offenders off the street, be they illegal immigrants with dozens of charges or convictions against them, or homegrown criminals who see our criminal justice system as a revolving door, the system is failing us. By itself, that’s bad enough, but the net effect of allowing criminals to set the agenda for all of us is intolerable, yet need not be so.
Sensible people want a different path than exists today that delivers traditional small-town American values, peace, and prosperity through the government they have elected, but which has visibly turned on them, favoring progressive policies, protecting itself, all while growing faster and paying itself better than the private sector.
The government and too many citizens tolerate evil within our society
We, the people, could stop it at any time we want. The big question is why we endure policies and actions that are not only wrong and a threat to our society’s stability, but also will inevitably lead to our undoing. Too many of us think the problems and issues we face are too big to solve. Issues like:
- Immigration
- Government accountability
- Homlessness
- Drugs
- America’s position in the world
- Education
- Healthcare
- Affordability
The commonality that connects them all is that they aren’t unsolvable. Despite that, they’re also a feature, not a flaw, of how our government works today. There are many of our so-called leaders in positions of power who either don’t address issues or take a short-sighted view that favors temporary power and control over finding solutions. It’s also how too many politicians become rich while ostensibly serving the public.
You may ask why, and you would be right to do so. It’s essential to understand how large government has become at all levels and the vast sums of money that no one can account for. As I write this, in Newark, NJ, the trivial (for government) sum of $287 million is missing, and unsurprisingly, nobody seems to know what happened to this COVID-19 relief money! Multiply this by hundreds of similar scandals, and two things become apparent:
- We’re talking about vast quantities of money. So much money that it begins to lose relevance in the minds of many who see the numbers as abstract and unrelatable
- No one, especially in senior positions of power, will be held accountable. Prosecutions and convictions are too rare, and often it’s the underlings, not those who set the conditions for the crime, who face juries.
Certainly, by now, it is evident that we are on our own; no one is coming to save us, not the government, not some group, nor God himself. The job of saving our culture, our society, and our country belongs to you and me. Every one of us must make it our highest priority to say, “It stops here.” I’ll stand in the way of the destroyers. Organizing ten million people to flood the streets demanding the heads of some of these evil people would be a good start.
If enough of us make that decision to confront evil, we will prevail. Believe it!
God Bless America!
