Events are beginning to unravel the deceit and the lies told around the world and maybe, just maybe, the veil is dropping from people's misty eyes and some of the ugly world damage can be seen for what it is.
I've always liked this scene from The Wizard Of Oz. I imagine you can understand why?
Toto pulls back the curtain and the truth is there to see for us all. Such is the events of the last few weeks I'd say. The awful slaying of two quite different people in the US, firstly Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska slaughtered on a Train in Charlotte NC and then the assassination of Charlie Kirk serves to highlight some of the problems we are facing. Why? because the keyboard warriors believed they both kind of deserved it!!
Yes, people thought it was OK. From the passengers on the train to the media classes. What the hell is wrong with people? It's gone too far when you actually believe this, surely no one deserves to die for no reason like that and on the eve of 9/11 too, what were you thinking?
Then there's our slip into totalitarianism. If you are not allowed to criticize or challenge your (elected mind you) representatives then you are heading into the abyss and that's dark and it needs to stop. The trouble is we can (those of us who are awake) see it and they cannot. Cognitive Dissonance or blind stupidity. We have a wishy washy PM who two weeks running has said he had full confidence in quite senior people who next day after he'd said it were both relieved of their duties. The guy causing huge damage to our energy infrastructure refused to leave his post and the PM did........ yes, noting about that. I'd have sacked him for not following my orders but then people who worked with me knew that LOL!
The economy is now in the toilet and our prospects are based on people who think you can borrow your way out of debt! Good luck with that.
I do hope the people who wish ill on the living and the dead will be rightly exposed for what they are and receive the punishment (if that's not too strong or emotive a word) they deserve. In what civilized society is it acceptable to wish death on someone or rejoice in the political assassination of someone because they don't hold the same views as you? This should be a turning point in society. The cynic in me says that we will have the candles and the tweets and the headlines, we will have "Lessons will be learned" and in a month's time we will be back here. I really hope not, I hope the groundswell sorts it out.
I hear the phrase "did not die in vain" and yet looking at the way we behave I think our veterans and those who went before may well have done so.
