Tiny Ripples of Hopelessness

No fear of Judgment Day

I’m fond of quoting Robert F. Kennedy’s greatest speech in my view, the one where he suggested billions of “tiny ripples of hope” could conceivably come together in a giant tidal wave, to defeat the mightiest tyranny and oppression. Now, he was speaking in South Africa, against Apartheid. Post-Apartheid South Africa isn’t exactly a paradise.

But the point he made was a timeless bit of optimism, perhaps hopium. The little people really can win, because there are so many more of them than the rich authoritarians controlling their destinies. But they have never come together, and probably never will. They’ve shown they have no tipping point. The experiment conducted by Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram was begun in 1961. Milgram found that a shocking 80 percent of people will obey any order from an authority figure. Since the population wasn’t quite as dumb or controlled in the 1960s as it is now, we can safely assume that the figure isn’t any lower in 2023.

Every time someone “pays it forward,” by treating a stranger at a restaurant or similar small gestures of generosity, that does produce a tiny ripple of hope, for instance. But what about the negative ripples? The evil acts of individuals; murder, rape, violent abuse, fleecing innocent persons. I watch some of those shows on the Investigation Discovery Network, primarily to compile research for a possible book on our criminal “justice” system. I never fail to be amazed at the number of seemingly normal, upstanding men and women who wind up doing the most awful things imaginable. I watched one recently about a father who was shown to have raped and killed his little girl, after he’d been the face of search efforts in the media.

Remember Susan Smith? The mother who pushed her car into a lake, with her two small boys strapped in their car seats. And then made up a story about “Blacks” doing it or something, weeping on camera. Is there a worse way to die than that? To be led to your death by your mother, struggling to get out of your car seat as you slowly drown? Well, actually there probably is. How about Andrea Yates? A supposedly devout Christian, she drowned her five small children, one after the other, by holding them under the water in the bathtub. She watched them squirm in terror. And then laid them out religiously on the bed. Said she did for God or something. And her nearly as deranged husband forgave her. That’s as evil as it gets.

It’s disillusioning to watch those shows, to learn just how dark some people, who have fooled their neighbors and the public, can be. John List? The seemingly upright member of his community, who killed his wife and kids, and his elderly mother. Then fled to another state, where he started a new family, and wasn’t caught for decades. What explains something like that? Are these people actually taken over by demons? Maybe the old expression “the Devil made me do it” is more literal than we think. Recall all those cartoons, where the character has an angelic figure on one shoulder, and a little devil on the other, each pulling him in a different direction. More people obey their best impulses, but too many don’t. Some turn into monsters.

I can’t imagine what must be inside a person, what kind of faulty wiring is in their brain, to cause someone to murder. I can perhaps understand crimes of passion. Well, not really, but anger and emotion can certainly bring out the beast in human beings. As bad as it is to take the life of a stranger, often triggered by perverted sexual urges, what could possibly trigger a parent to kill their child? Or a child to kill their parent? They both seem to happen with startling frequency. Whatever was going through Andrea Yates’s muddled mind, for example, how could she not have been snapped back into lucidity after the first or second child?

Murdering your family would be the logical end result of decades of anti-family programming by our friends in Hollywood, and the “education” system. Half of marriages end in divorce, and now fewer people than ever are even bothering to marry. Family dysfunction has been emphasized in the culture, persistently for so long, that almost every family now is dysfunctional. Too many adult children act as if they would like to murder their parents. Many rebellious teenagers have the same attitude towards their parents. Life imitates art. Certainly, this most horrendous of all crimes did happen in the past, but it was extremely, extremely rare.

I am more accustomed to writing about high crimes and conspiracy, driven by the innate corruption of those entrenched in power. Did thirty third degree Mason Franklin Roosevelt feel any guilt after setting up the Pearl Harbor psyop, which resulted in the deaths of over 2,000 Americans? Or his fellow thirty third degree Mason Harry Truman, whose nuclear bombs killed over 200,000 at Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Roosevelt was never questioned by the kept press. Truman defended his actions for the rest of his life, as did too many other Americans. People still chant the Orwellian excuse that his actions “saved lives.”

Abraham Lincoln died with the blood of nearly a million of his fellow citizens on his hands. A huge portion of them teenagers or younger. He invoked the name of God when it suited his purposes, and actually came to blame him for the bloodletting he pushed relentlessly. As I showed in my book Crimes and Cover-Ups in American Politics: 1776-1963, much evidence indicates Lincoln was an atheist, who is in his wayward youth wrote a blistering rebuttal to the New Testament, which was conveniently destroyed when he launched his political career. How about his psychotic Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who did everything he could to silence the alleged “conspirators,” and treated them barbarically. Then ironically seems to have conspired to kill Lincoln.

I won’t touch on the alleged crimes of those we fought in all those senseless wars. We have no idea how real the claims are, and should always recognize that enemies must be demonized for the warfare state to work. So I concentrate in my books on the misdeeds of the “good guys.” Us. Like the bombing of the German city of Dresden, which held no military value at all. The Allies just did it because they could. Something like 39,000 toddlers were killed by their bombs. Royal Air Force commander Arthur “Bomber” Harris continued to boast of this mass murder of harmless civilians, long after the war. It’s a “greatest generation” thing, you wouldn’t understand. What could “Bomber” Harris say to God, in the way of justification?

The crimes of our leaders, past and present, are so plentiful that it’s unlikely I will ever run out of new volumes of Hidden History to write. Every northern citizen who was rounded up by Lincoln’s troops and thrown in makeshift prisons, without any charges (remember, “Honest” Abe had suspended the writ of habeas corpus), experienced one of those tiny ripples. Of injustice. And immorality. Corruption beyond measure. After the war, the southerners were subjected to the same sort of tiny ripples, as they remained under the military rule of Reconstruction. There was a refusal to understand or tolerate political differences then, and today’s unforgiving hatred against the January 6 “insurrectionists” is the logical heir to that.

In that same book of mine, I go over all the countless instances of brutal experimentation that was conducted, by our government, on the most vulnerable people in our society, throughout the twentieth century. Orphans, mental patients, prisoners, were injected with syphilis and other deadly diseases. This was a natural outgrowth of the burgeoning Eugenicist movement, which promoted the forced sterilization of those deemed “unfit” to reproduce. You know, what the Nazis are accused of having done. The first such odious sterilization program was launched by then New Jersey Governor Woodrow Wilson. When you are a devout believer in Evolution, the survival of the fittest, there must by definition be those who aren’t fit.

The elitists who have always been in charge have committed more crimes than any one researcher or or author can hope to expose. Hanging the commandant of Andersonsville Prison after the Civil War, when he couldn’t feed the northern prisoners because Lincoln’s satanic troops had stolen or destroyed food, and ruined the fields for future crops. Assassinating Huey Long, still the only politician in our history who consistently talked about giving a hand to those who needed it, instead of asking for more “sacrifice” from them. Devising a counterfeit banking system that lets those in charge loan money they don’t possess. The examples are endless.

I’ve covered as much of the awful crime our leaders have engaged in since the dawn of our Republic as I possibly could. It fits the definition of “organized crime” as well as anything ever attributed to the Mafia. Obvious “hits” were conducted on pesky troublemakers, whistleblowers who threatened their nefarious livelihoods. Murders made to look like accidents or suicides. The fortunate ones were just financially ruined. Their families destroyed. Someone ordered those murders, and caused the financial and familiar devastation. Others carried out those orders. Just in this century, the DC Madam, Seth Rich, John McAfee, and Jeffrey Epstein are obvious examples of murder victims whose deaths will never be considered murder.

My point here is that those of us with faith believe that we’ll ultimately be judged for our actions here on Earth. I’m terrified at the prospect of standing before God and answering for my relatively mild transgressions. Lots of impure thoughts. But I never knowingly hurt anyone in my life. I try to save the lives of insects who wander into our house. All life is sacred. But if I’m scared of Judgement Day, what must the Susan Smiths, John Lists, and Andrea Yates of the world think? How do you carry on your conscience the murder of your own flesh and blood? Quite a bit different than stealing a candy bar or exaggerating to bolster your own reputation.

Assuming Henry Kissinger ever dies, what would he say on Judgment Day? What will the Bushes and the Clintons say? There won’t be any apologist “reporters” to whitewash their sins. I don’t know how you can be adequately contrite about overseeing massive rape, murder and other crimes against civilians in all those unconstitutionally occupied countries. How does a CEO who was rewarded with even more millions in executive compensation after he laid off thousands of workers, ruining thousands of families, make restitution for that? Will Janet Reno have to answer for the mass murders at Waco? Will Bill Clinton?

Walter Cronkite lied his ass off about the JFK assassination in several television disinformation specials. He was also the voice of the giant owl at Bohemian Grove for many years. And he topped off his fabulous career by joking, late in life, that he was proud to be sitting at the “right hand of Satan.” Will God actually think he lived the false portrayal the sheeple think he did- was he “the man you can trust?” You could say the same thing about virtually every mainstream journalist of the past 100 years. All of them specialists in non-investigation. Lapdogs for the corrupt state. The Almighty knows what they really did, and will judge by their actions, not the dishonest facade created by their criminal peers.

Those who control the international sex trafficking of children- how could any human being hope to judge them? Or a serial killer? Certainly, there are clear mental problems associated with that, and perhaps the Good Lord will weigh and consider that. However you look at it, mortal judges are not capable of, let alone worthy of, judging the worst crimes of others. Only a supernatural force, one we cannot hope to truly understand, could do that. Who knows all, hears all, and sees all. Even before it deteriorated into an Alice in Wonderland-style of nonsense, our legal system was rife with inconsistency, with too many convicted on little or no evidence, and too many who were obviously guilty set free. We’ve done a poor job of judging each other.

I try not to smile and fantasize about the likes of Hillary Clinton or Bill Gates facing the ultimate Judge. It’s probably a sin to wish for the punishment of others. At least I think it is. That’s why I’ll probably never serve on a jury. It’s unlikely that I could vote to convict anyone, given my distrust of the system. The Bible says something about you being judged as you would judge others, or something like that. I think- I don’t memorize that many Biblical passages. But I do think if I’d been a serial killer, that I wouldn’t expect to be judged leniently. I’d certainly hate to have most of these tyrannical earthly judges in charge of my fate.

I think that most people today recoil at the idea of judgment. This is why we see such a violent response on the part of gay activists and now transgenders, at the very sight of Christians, or the concept of Christianity itself. They don’t feel they’re doing anything wrong. Presumably this includes shaking their stuff in front of elementary school children. I wonder if that migrant who raped an eight year old boy at a swimming pool, because he had a “sexual emergency,” believes he’ll be forgiven by Allah? What goes through the mind of a murderer, after he’s murdered? Does he tell God, “I’m sorry?” Or are all the worst criminals by nature nonbelievers? How could they commit such offenses against God, if they thought He existed?

Are most killers atheist, or do they serve a different master? Do they actually think they’ll please Satan, or Lucifer, or whatever they call the dark force, by such abominable acts? Doesn’t it stand to reason that, if the Devil is the antithesis of God, that he would favor murder, and rape, and defrauding others? By definition, isn’t he the father of corruption? If you’re worshiping the dark force, you’ll do dark deeds. What about the alleged Christians, like Andrea Yates? Wasn’t the B2K killer president of his church council? Do the priests who rape altar boys actually believe in God? How could they, and commit such crimes against God, let alone their sacred vows?

If we aren’t going to inevitably be judged, then what argument is there really against taking what you want, by force? To mistreating others just because you can? Can the moral code really exist outside of religion? As Shakespeare once wrote, “Nothing is either right or wrong, but thinking makes it so.” Do atheists have consciences? Do consciences exist without a belief in God? Aren’t many potential criminals, or at least troublemakers, reigned in because they fear the judgment of a higher authority? I’d say that many a thief has been kept from taking what they wanted for fear of being arrested, but shoplifting has been legalized now in some places.

I’m constantly stunned by some of the things that people are capable of doing. It makes me think that maybe the percentage of people who believe in any kind of final judgment has been exaggerated. No one could commit such crimes, if they feared an omnipresent being, who would ultimately judge their lives. I have that little devil guy on my shoulder sometimes, too, but the angel on the other shoulder almost always wins out. I’d like to think I’d be good even if I knew I’d never have to answer for my actions, but without God I might not know what good is. While JFK called “a good conscience our only sure reward,” it’s fair to wonder how those who fear or ridicule a Judgment Day have lived their lives.
