The system works great for the people who profit from it. They resist any efforts to reform it.

They cannot reform.

They can’t if they want to...

In the 1930s FDR rigged the system so “....no damn politician can ever take my Social Security away....” and that imperative guides all done then and since.

None of it can change, it just sprawls and consumes ever more. They themselves are only dimly aware of the situation, as the lamprey is the whale. If lampreys think the whale is the universe, god, and they serve him in their own minds. If lamprey’s have minds.

If the reader alerted on “social security” you missed the point.

Also you’re a lamprey and it’s established you have no mind.

Blessed are the believers, until the whale dies.

The whale is still swimming a bit but it has begun to decay from sepsis all around the dozens of lamprey wounds. It has a stench that reaches unto heaven.

It's not only a temporal battle, but a spiritual one. We fight not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in high places.

It's difficult to see the path, but God provides. Praise God. Amen.

Honest fear isn’t corruption.

Manipulating people using it however is. Probably.

If knowing it’s untrue it’s dishonest.

Here’s why I mention this;

Corruption means money, favors, sex , something changed hands.

I’m no legalist be certain.

But to broaden all human frailty to “corruption” is unwise and useless. Either you’re a thief or not for example.

The Left routinely uses corruption to mean non-compliance with their religious beliefs de jour - despite them being delusional.

Let’s avoid this error, it dooms them ultimately, and accusations like violence should be directed and with reasons. I mean one should be able to say this happened for reasonable cause.

Or they’ll be a breaking between the righteous and the reasonable and sane.... << this is how we got here.
