The Emperor's New Clothes
February 20, 2017
Is America headed for an implosion? Every day it's something new. It's predictable. It seems as though America is headed for a nervous breakdown! As it is said, "We are only as strong...as our weakest link!" And there are some extremely weak links in the higher-ups! It seems that certain individuals are going along with anything. Just to get along. They will take a lie as gospel truth. And brow-beat anyone that says anything different!
Who can we trust...when trust is a must to our survival. What truths can we look too...when there are alternative facts...and alternative truths to fit the lies that are spun on a daily basis.
Does not this sound so very familiar? The story of "The Emperors New Clothes!"
A vain Emperor who cares about nothing except wearing and displaying clothes hires two weavers who promise him the finest, best suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who is either unfit for his position or "hopelessly stupid".
The Emperor's ministers cannot see the clothes themselves, but pretend that they can for fear of appearing unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent and the Emperor does the same. Finally, the weavers report that the suit is finished, they mime dressing him, and the Emperor marches in procession before his subjects.
The townsfolk play along with the pretense, not wanting to appear unfit for their positions or stupid. Then, a child in the crowd, too young to understand the desirability of keeping up the pretense, blurts out that the Emperor is wearing nothing at all, and the cry is taken up by others. The Emperor suspects the assertion is true but continues the procession.
What can one expect when there is no standard to hold the truth to...or no one to uphold the truth! Obvious blatant lies are being told at every turn.
There are new implications...that the leader of the United States has mental issues. This is nothing more than speculation...I'm assuming. However...time will tell.

Is America being slowly primed
for dictatorship?
February 20, 2017
When information is censored by the government of the Oval Office...and when one is told how and what to think on a continuous basis then surely you can believe that country is headed for dictatorship. When the president-elect...tries to stifle the news media...or even implies that it's all fake news...you are being manipulated. The fake news and leaks were good enough for President Trump all throughout 2016, when he was running for president. He loved Wikileaks tidbits of "fake news" as he now calls it! "The fake news media is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!"
He is telling people what to think. How to think. What lies to believes...and what lies to forget about. And what is so dangerous about this...is that most of his fan base believe him. These people do not have a clue! However...this is nothing new for him. He did it all throughout his campaign. It was accepted. Never questioned. And those that accepted it...and never questioned it...still, accept it as being all truth now.
One of Trump's own fellow Republicans John Mccain recognizes this...and spoke out about it... almost. He bit his tongue to some extent. He has the Emperor has no clothes syndrome.
"I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time [without a free press]. That's how dictators get started … When you look at history, the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press. And I'm not saying that President Trump is trying to be a dictator. I'm just saying we need to learn the lessons of history."
Trump thinks he's still doing a reality show. Where he is total control. His "Alternative Reality," will not let him think any other way. And when you live in an Alternate Reality...it is only your reality that counts. Everyone else must conform...or not be recognized.
If you put a bridle on the news media...and a bit in their mouth. If you gag them and talk them down...from telling the truth...telling their opinions...take all freedom from the press...then we will have become a nation under dictatorship! Our rights will slowly be stripped from us. A wall starts to crumble from a very small crack. You can chip away at it and eventually it will crumble.
A dictatorship starts with a crack in the wall of freedom. And when you have a megalomaniac...who has an ego so large that it can not be contained...and must be feed consistently, of praise and worship, adulation, and undeserved adoration...then you will have a country that is in crisis...and only the conformist will survive. Because it will be the desire of the dictator to eradicate all opposition!
