Empty Words bother me

  A long while back I wrote a letter to the Editor of The San Marcos Daily Record and said at the beginning of my letter, "Empty Words Bother Me!" Okay, I said that because I believe that some times do not allow for personal deep conversation and one cannot get themselves involved in profound subjects for discussion. However, I was writing a Letter to the Editor for consideration for being printed on The Opinion Page of the Papers section. And I wasn't gonna be writing about non essential subjects when after all, the News Paper's Policy on Letters to the Editor would only allow Letter Writers 300 words per letter and only one letter per month. For opinionated people like myself that was cruel and unusual punishment practice. But I did appreciate that our Editors in my case didn't edit my letters and butcher them. They left my letters as I had printed them and as for the choice topics of mine, I am sure that they struggled to allow them to be printed. So I am grateful that my letters were printed regardless of how controversial the subject matter was. I have always said that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. For example, Freedom for ancient Rome meant that the Ruling Elites had to give something for something if they persisted on attaining Power and maintaining their luxurious and lavish lifestyles. I mean, if they needed a greater increase in Revenue or Tax Base and greater Military Man Power, well, they had to give mercenaries and new soldier recruits, and the non Roman citizens Bread and Water whether they cared for the non Romans or not. And this is where Newspapers and other American Institutions find themselves so far toady. Because if a Nation building Elitist people establishes their Foundation for their House on Laws for freedom and Equality for All people, then  that means all people in that house have the freedom to criticize the elitist for violating elitist own laws as well and demand equality. And it was true in my Letter writing situation as well. And that is why I say that empty words bother me especially when so many people are suffering tremendously under the feet of hypocritical tyrants. My granddaughter Alyssa has now seen this political and social compromising necessity in America up close and personal. Especially when having to engage some of the Ruling White Americans in their Institutions and Programs practices and teachings. For example, Alyssa observed that if White Americans wanted to keep The Right to bear Arms in America, they would also have to afford that Right to Non Whites in America too. Otherwise The Whole Second Amendment to The Constitution would mean nothing. And she said, "And I know that American Whites love guns because that is what gave them the means to Win Battles." So that is my basic point about the political necessity to compromise for any Government if they want to continue existing. However, there are serious ramifications with to much compromise or Quid pro quo because one can't please everyone all the time. And further, we just can't always get what we want either. Ancient Rome discovered this truth way too late in their program. Before Rome discovered their problem or refused to see it, they realized that they were over extended and this whole operation about becoming The Only World Power was costing them way too many heartaches and headaches, and they had run out of "Bread and Water" to offer the Multi-Cultured Nation they had to create. And this was a serious problem because Elitist were not confining their Nation building to their own kind anymore. Furthermore, Life and Freedom was the very thing that they had promised to the Non Romans and Roman Citizens contingent on their allegiance and voluntary services to Rome. And history records that when all the European and other Countries Barbarians were knocking down the walls of the City of Rome, they say that all that could be heard inside the City walls was shouts of the people that said, "As long as we have Bread and Water what does it matter!" So I asked, can you see what happened here? And I have asked before, can you see how things repeat themselves over and over throughout history? So what if an Empire falls into enemies hands, as long as they get what they liked... what did it matter! And for the sake of debate, can you see America in this picture of Ancient Rome's history? America is way over extended in every which way that we can think of now. America can't even get New Recruits for its Military today. Many people don't want to work either. What for if they are gonna get free bread and water? And many times America will pay other working peoples taxed money for Welfare Programs just to keep a workforce for selected White People only. And in that process of continued Dumbing Down of Public Education on the elitist part only adds to their bad reputation as well. Yes, it's okay to educate non Romans to The Service Sectors employment programs, but not the Elitist sector jobs, or The Good Old Boys Jobs. So that is how all ancient Empires crumbled in the past. The Elitist all seem to have a superiority complex and suffer terribly from it and by it because the outcome always results with their own demise. Hubris can cause things like that. But how can we solve the situation that "No man is an Island" when this whole business of life requires a mutual symbiotic relationship. Should one kind of plant species be forced to mingle cooperatively outside their natural habitat with other plants? For example, if I am living in my own space and coexisting with nature there, and an Empire building Brain comes along with his army and takes me captive and forces me to work as a slave at his mines or rock quarry, what do we call that? How can Brain say that he was instructed in the Righteous ways and Laws of "God?" That is not Couture. Sooner or later "Justice" will take revenge on Leaders that punish or mistreat others by degrading means just because they are not the same Kind as those in Power. That is what the Bible says and the story of the fall of Babylon is one case history about this point. In that story there, "God" had given a people over to be punished for their evil ways to Babylon The Great City to correct. The people to be corrected in this case was Judah of Southern Israel circa 586 B.C.. But "God" had given instructions on the type and limits to this punishment. Well, Babylon got carried away with the sanctioned Right to Punish... that their hands just beat those people more than they should have been. Hence, Babylon violated "God's" Decree and was annihilated for that behavior and crime. Remember the modern psychologist named Pavlov who observed that once human beings were given Power and Authority that it changed that persons character, such as in the case of Prison Guards, etc.. And Pavlov's conclusion affirmed that Absolute power corrupts absolutely if given to human beings. Power can blind and it can drive people insane. Look at our American Politicians trying desperately to find ways to keep America viable and breathing. They too got corrupted along the ways down the roads of histories and found themselves way too over extended. What made America great, The Migrants. What is destroying America now, The Illegal Immigrants situation that has no restrictions, legal limits or Regulations, at the borders. Without borders what is the point for building the house? But who is causing all this chaos all over the World with illegal immigration? The same kind of Leaders who want to be the only World Power at any cost. Even if they rape and violate all Natural or Nature's Laws, that is immaterial to them considering what their goals are. They call it progress. But, it's really "Gold" and Power for themselves, and their evil ways, that drive them to self destruct. In closing, I'll talk about Gold and other shiny things if I am allowed later in other stories. I know that many people can't see what is about to happen catastrophically to America and the World, but it's America that I am speaking about here. And we are in a lot of trouble now, and the worst is at our doors about to break in. And like ancient Rome when the barbarians camped outside their walls, America too says it out loud, "As long as we have Bread and Water, what does it matter."  Well ask yourselves then, if a loaf of bread is gonna cost you almost a day's wages, will it matter? And ask yourselves, if  now our electrical bills are flying out the roof along with high inflation on everything that we purchase, and The Money Changers at The Federal Reserve are in control of setting prices for goods and commodities, will you be able to afford Bread and Water then? And do you think that those in Power with all the scarcity that is coming, and that will affect the elite too, will want to help us? Yes, empty words bother me. Especially with so many crisis that are plaguing the entire World all the way to the stratosphere. And do you Know what was more important to those Ancient Romans surrounded by Barbarians who wanted to take their heads off was, "The Gladiator Games." Sports Baby!!!, that was what was on their minds. And as long as all the amenities that these people craved were provided and catered to them at  "The Arena," well!, their Superiority Complex made them believe that their "Machine" was impenetrable. And because of their might and long history of being a recognized World Power they felt secured and invincible. I hope you guys know about what false hope can do to us? False hope can make us feel like Ancient Babylon Leaders that partied all night while the Persians and the Medes infiltrated their impregnable walls. Yeah!, So what if The Russians, or The Chinese, or the rest of the World is pushing our doors open forcefully, we got big guns! Babylon the great city also fell the same way long before Rome though. And now that we see The new Beast Rising as a composite of all past Empires before, this Machine will also fall and will never rise again. Well, not until the End of The Millennium Period. Then that so- called eternal city of Babylon will eternally disappear from all histories and remaining human consciousness. Let's sleep on that for now. Thanks again.                                                                                                                                                                      Respectfully,                                                          Ruben N.
