WHO WANTS THE POWER

WHO WANTS THE POWER

Tom writes,

"A question why? I know you can’t answer it, but I still can’t think of any reason anyone with as much money and power as most in governments have they still want this kind of power it just seems to much trouble for this type of control. Is it just some perverse game or what. I don’t think America will go under military dictatorship, (ITALICS MINE) at least I hope not I won’t say it’s not possible we the American people do let things happen that we shouldn’t and some have no idea what freedom is and each and ever day there a new law that takes those freedoms away in the name of protecting us. But most people don’t let those laws get in their way. I mean take drugs there are plenty of laws against them and I don’t see that stopping anyone from taking them.
I don’t mean to keep asking the same question. But to me I think most of the control is coming not from people who want to control us but actually people who think there helping us by doing this. Much like most of the lower & middle men in the Chinese government they think there doing a service to their society by controlling the daily lives of their people. And it much harder to talk someone out of something when their not trying to do it for the money or for power, but a perverse idea of what is for the best."

Dear Tom,
Thanks for keeping me on my toes.  Though not directly, I have answered your question as to why someon would want more power than they already have.

In 2004, I myself asked the same question, why would anyone want to be the president of the United States, since I was already expecting the economic collapse. Then again in 2008, since the problem had already surfaced, and we were looking at the massive mess that followed.  you know I was talking of it for many years, and it had finally arrived.

Thus the answer to your question, the phenomenon is not new, we have been warned of it in the holy books, as I said in the article below, " A Question for You", it is called the God complex. People start to believe that they have the power, in the story of the Pharaoh and Moses, the Pharaoh told Moses, I am God, I give life and I take life.
Many a human when given a position of power have this same complex, it is human nature and the intoxicating nature of power.

To you and I may be, the human suffering is insurmountable, but not to "the powerful", be it Obama, Bush, Hosni Mubbarak , Hu Jintao, Mugabe, or Kim Jong Il, or the CEO of a large bank or corporation,  it is always the same, they are all God, and god's gift to man kind. They know better than anyone what to do, what needs to be done, mere humans can not be bothered with.

And thus the military control, have we not raised the status and exalted the stature of the military and the other so called "First responders" that they have assumed a super human and super natural stature in our own national psyche? Do you even dare question? You and I were there, long before nine eleven, simple grunts, doing our daily work , air traffic control or flying, still human, not heroes, not the defenders, nothing, we did our jobs, and we got paid. What about the defense contractors, the real over paid, what if the nation tried to take away their purses, their credit cards? And who do you think they will protect, a mere piece of paper called the constitution or their contracts and paychecks?

I hate to sound cynical and alarmist again, but I believe, if the chips were down I would worry more about the police force than the thugs in the neighborhood.  The current laws , that I have shown and discussed actually  take away all our powers as citizens and make the police and the military too powerful. It is not too late, I pray.







LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE
