Judas is still alive

When all orientation is lost and no compasses can be found societies search for alternative beacons. They usually find them within themselves. With all distress signals coming-in loud they feel that any kind of aid is welcome and during those moments of despair they do not ask for “quality” help. A self-regulating mechanism kicks-in in a survival mode of function. This is pretty much the summary of this country’s state for a long time now, -a patient in a coma- and all medical aid available seems incapable of reversing that. A whole nation resigned for a long time, with no healthy reflexes left to account for any kind of balance in our social and political lives. A non-existent, tiring and failed government engaging in the same actions in repeat like a broken record, almost in vain, serving the single purpose of power retention, while all social tissue has been dismantled and sacrificed to that very objective. The main contributor in this campaign is the illusion of false hope and the higher ethical ground invoked by the government. It is almost as if you try to instill trust through the employment of hypocrisy and exaggeration.

The skies above us are getting cloudier and darker, the vital problems of the country perpetuate and the signs of our time are voicing a single prediction, the one of our complete decline. The future generations of this country have already been mortgaged to the managerial sins and the financial mismanagement of the recent past, and the chain around their necks has become thicker and tighter. The debt of this country- at one time converted in a magical move from private into public back in 2010- has sparked the beginning of the fall. With surgical precision, the lenders are slicing our debt and prolonging it into the indefinite future, thus taking over the keys of our property and with them all ownership rights to it. Prosperity is a word that will be stricken out of the vocabulary soon as a linguistic fossil of the past. Debt, tax, evasion, surcharges and penalties are the “hip” words of our times, with almost everyone in this country being treated and presumed “guilty” of some undefined offence until proven innocent. “In dubio contra reo” in other words, and that little phrase alone speaks volumes of our “rule of law” state. It is almost with mathematical precision that you take a country, a society and its people apart once you have weakened its legal system and you have numbed its ability to perform. From that point, onward everything is possible. We are no longer the keepers of our own fate, as we have been expropriated from anything that constitutes the basic features of democracy and the power of the people. Democracy only by appearance, but then again so are the majority of democracies still surviving in the western world. Transformed rather into dictatorships in disguise if you will, with the excuse of serving the public interest, while attacking privacy, they form a new style of government, which in the majority of cases has secured some type of public approval extorted via some type of newly introduced fear that could materialize at any moment. A common enemy, a common threat, a common interest or a divided dilemma is usually the underlying edge.

The upside of this style of government is the absence of any form of resistance, while the narrative of the upkeep of democracy and justice is still omnipresent in every political rhetoric. Our problem today is the same old problem that we always had. Too many willing saviors to save this country, too many romantic patriots who create a lot of unproductive noise, and a handful of revolving political figures with a high drive to corruption. Nothing gets ever done, and this stagnation is no longer a still-stand but a move backwards. Personal responsibility converges into collective responsibility until the very notion of it is diluted. And so we cultivate stories for the future generations to consume, while in some other parts of this beautiful planet the production of civilization is unstoppable. And by contrast, our stagnation becomes a backward movement. Albert Camus once wrote that on the day when crime takes on the dress of the trophies of innocence is the day when innocence by reversal of roles will be obligated to provide explanations. This was still at a time when crimes of passion were the rule and premeditated crimes the exception. Today, crimes of passion are attributed to an era of mankind where the overwhelming flood of emotional charge was uncontrollable. Today crime does not observe any motive but focus merely on objective. In this sense, early detection is rarely possible, while passing judgement on events becomes harder due to the multitude of interpretations available. Our own government still strongly believes that it is acting in the best interest of its citizen, while the citizens themselves feel violated by their government. Under these circumstance is the extremely difficult to cast the first stone or to even grasp the range of wrongdoings.

It is unclear, if we are meant to survive as a nation. What is clear is that even if we do, we will have mutated into something far apart from its original DNA, in order to fit into the NWO. Is that necessarily bad? I don’t have the answer. But fact is, this comes with a certain distaste to my mouth. But whether good or bad one thing that I would not want to give up is my deep conviction to the existence of a “judgement day” where good will prevail upon all evil once and for all.
