This World in Which We Live Is Mad

“Where two or more are gathered in the name of Man; that is civilization; that is Order; and that is the beginnings of brutality and suffering.”

~ Christopher Dutton

My message today is a far cry from my normal effort to find truth and expose corruption, in that this will be more of a philosophical wandering. Maybe it is time to step back and take a hard look at the world, and the consuming nature of its madness and brutality that lives and breathes throughout every moment of our lives. There must be a reason, but I have no idea or understanding as to why things are as they are. What I do know is that life on this earth is madness, with constant suffering, torture, starvation, genocide, selfishness, tyrannical rule, war, power-seeking, and a kill or be killed attitude that envelopes most all living creatures.

There are many who attempt to describe this phenomenon, who believe they have the answers to the query of what is the meaning of life, but there are none who have ever been able to explain why things happen in the manner that they do, and why sheer brutality is the most common thread of existence. It makes no sense to me, but then, how could anything that has happened make sense?

Many on this earth choose to cling to religions, gods, and rulers, instead of remaining in self, thinking that the spiritual can only be what someone else says it should be. Ancient texts and writings, all put together by mortal men are cherished, believed, studied, worshipped, and rewritten a thousand times over. I have always felt that the spiritual side of man, if it exists at all, is an individual understanding of what cannot be fully understood, at least for this fleeting moment that is the short time each of us has here in this space. Creation does seem more than likely, for how else could man and life on earth exist, but man’s explanation about these matters is horribly lacking in my estimation.

I do not know for certain how many inhabit this earth, but it is said that there are about 8 billion of us at this time. Since we are all unique in one way or another, that means that there are billions of opinions. In other words, how could anyone claim to know the truth about the plight of man? I would say that knowledge of that degree is impossible to discern. It is believed that there are anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 religions worldwide, as well as sects, denominations, new world cultural systems; with different moral beliefs about spiritual matters, texts, prophecies, supernatural, and transcendental elements. The bulk of those who ‘say’ they are religious practice Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, or Buddhism, which supposedly accounts for about 70% of the world’s population. Honestly, I do not find this information worthwhile, as I see very little adherence by any or all populations of so-called religious types to any of what would be moral standards among humanity based upon honest religious belief.

I have no desire here to upset anyone, or call anyone out due to their beliefs, for it is only the business of each individual as to what they choose to believe, and none of my affair. But humanity is an absolute mess, regardless of any belief system whatsoever. The claims made by religions are many, but rely on their ‘god’ of choice, who is seemingly loving, benevolent, all seeing, all knowing, and that he alone controls the outcome of each individual, and judges them upon death. So if this is so, why is there not any universal agreement, and why does mankind, and most every living animal on earth survive by constant killing of one another?

This world is coming apart at the seams, and this has always been the case throughout history as far as anyone knows. There is and has been for an eternity, war and killing, rape, abuse of children, genocide, power-seekers, theft, torture, enslavement, hate, and murder, and this continues every single day. The difference now is technology. With AI, digital IDs, digitized systems, and advanced weaponry, man’s task of killing each other is much easier and advancing at an accelerating pace. It is as if mankind’s goal is not to better himself, or live in harmony, but to bring about human extinction. Those guiding these heinous efforts must believe that they can eliminate most, but survive with the keys to the world that is left after this mass onslaught. I imagine they are mistaken, and will not survive the coming carnage.

The hidden enemy that most do not want exposed, is the mass of humanity sitting on the sidelines awaiting a ‘savior.’ These are the people who will do nothing to save themselves until it is too late. They are consumed by indifference, which is more deadly than ignorance and stupidity. They watch as war in their name rages on. They remain divided instead of banding together against the common enemy that is the State. They watch while children are openly facing torture and genocide at the hands of the Zionist Israeli scum. They cheer for the State’s murdering class, and call them heroes. They applaud while the State butchers parade for them at their bread and circus events. They line up to vote for the same or a new master, all while seeking and expecting dependency. They comply with every order, and practice mass obedience to the plundering government that controls them. They are cowards in the presence of adversity and responsibility.

This world we live in is mad. It has always been so, but what has been will pale in comparison with what is to come. We have entered a new paradigm of deception and collapse, of globalization, of total control, of technocracy, of sickness and disease, of destruction of family, and of murder.

There is still time to reverse this madness. I, nor any other, can do this for anyone else, as each individual has to make a choice as to freedom or slavery, and as to life or death, and act on that premise of freedom and life. I live each day to the fullest, love my family, embrace the beauty and splendor of nature, remain happy, and attempt to spread truth in order to salvage my sanity. Never forget that we are the many and they are the few, but so long as hate for one another is evident, we will all lose. I hope this message is taken as a warning, and not as pessimistic, for joy, harmony, and life are worth saving.

“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”
