“I want answers!” So sayeth a large number of people—particularly folks on the supposed political “Right.”
Perhaps you’re among those shouting from the rooftops.
Regardless, I would have folks understand something where this hue and cry is concerned.
I’m not in the camp doing the yelling.
Don’t misunderstand me. I would like to know the truth about any number of things currently being kept under wraps one way or another—whether they involve government, certain celebrities, or others.
Unlike the folks in question though—and I completely understand their desires—my interest is in seeing justice done.
It may be both things can occur at the same time. In my way of thinking though, that’s probably not the case.
I’m not going to go into detail on any of the things about which such individuals are speaking.
Suffice to say, they are very nearly (if not) legion.
I have to acknowledge something else. In some of the cases of which I’m aware, it’s entirely possible (maybe even probable) the “whole story” will never be publicly known.
I’ve said before, I spend some part of my time listening to a few select voices. That’s not to say others don’t often enter into the mix; nor am I trying to indicate the people I mind are anything like infallible.
One such person is Tim Pool (if you don’t know who that is, I suggest you take the time to peruse what he has to say on platforms like Rumble).
Tim has put forth a couple of plausible ideas potentially explaining why we may never hear about certain things having happened in the not-too-distant past.
He posits, for example, one of the reasons people investigating a variety of what might be termed modern day scandals are not holding forth, is fear.
Whether they’re worried about the wellbeing of family members, or of society as a whole is among the things he discusses.
Is it possible, if the depth of depravity of multiple individuals were to see the light of day, various cultural, business, or social entities might collapse?
Is it likely that folks looking into the criminality or moral evils of others, might find themselves worried regarding the exposure—even vulnerability—of family members (read here: husbands, wives, children, parents or even, friends, acquaintances, or associates)?
I certainly can see this being a legitimate set of concerns.
What makes this all the more complex, is that many such folks are but one person, awash in a virtual sea of humanity.
Imagine being “in charge of” some vast organization (almost akin to an empire), where what amounts to a bureaucracy is in place beneath you.
Picture being in a place where you are very likely going to suffer attack from within that over which you supposedly say grace.
These are serious, meaningful, concerns.
Worse yet, for many such entities, the changing of the tide of political leadership may well reverse the course of ongoing investigations or inquires.
Why is that even worse than the original idea?
Knowing you’ve time to “change the guard” in a given body, means you should be able to do that prior to releasing the results of inquiries, or acting thereon.
But what if you realize you—at least potentially—don’t have that time?
Suddenly you find yourself between a proverbial “rock and hard place.”
You know the current underlying structure won’t support you, but you fear you won’t have the time to change that structure so you can proceed in reasonable and proper ways.
I believe it’s this sort of thing that helps to perpetuate corruption, malfeasance, morally reprehensible behavior, and other similar things.
Perhaps the answer is to “fall on the sword,” hoping things will be obvious to those looking on.
Then again, it’s possible doing so could result in serious self-harm without achieving the desired result… letting alone the idea of ill done to others about whom one cares. And this says almost nothing to far reaching effects on society at large.
In my mind, this is the state in which we currently find ourselves.
It’s a conundrum to be sure.
How does one affect change? How do we ensure things are seen for what they actually are, all the while maintaining familial and societal integrity, freedom, and security?
I don’t pretend to have an answer to this—most particularly some generic mechanism by which such can be achieved.
What I’m trying to do, is to explain what may be happening to cause what we see at the present moment.
Sadly, the longer various culprits are embedded in a plethora of roles, the more likely they are to have found ways to make their turpitude harder to ferret out, much less respond to.
I make it a practice to be as truthful as I’m able. Even so, I have said things in past that were patently false. I “cop to” this.
I’ve tried very hard to redeem myself where that’s concerned. You can take it from me, just the shame of having lied for a very long time, can be enough to deter folks from clearing the air.
It’s hard to acknowledge I’ve ever been anything but completely honest.
You may be certain such is equally true for others.
The first fear, is one’s irredeemability. Add to this the expectation of revulsion and rejection.
That makes being honest after having so long been otherwise a hard pill for a good many to swallow—and this assumes the persons in question have any desire to set things aright to begin with.
For my part, I have a hard time imagining an “out” for such a situation.
Perhaps there are others out there who are wiser or more able than myself who have an easier time conceiving of such.
I know myself to not be the best and brightest where many things are concerned.
Have you some mechanism by which we can begin to become a “society of sunlight?”
If so, please believe many would love to know how you might affect such a thing.
That’s where I currently stand.
Here’s hoping things are going well for you. If not, I pray things move in that direction in the near future.
