Please, do not patronize us with slogans. We have become a Nation of trite sayings, rather than deep, reasoned discourse. Let’s break down the heading of this blog and ask a few questions. Who is “WE”? Are those citizens you associate with, ones who think like you do, or does this word cover certain ethnicities, genders, or certain social or demographical groups? How about the word “ARE”? Does this refer to those who now exist in the present, or does it refer to what is to occur at some point? Does it demand a stable position, waiting, continuing, or persisting in the present condition? Most of us know what the word “ALL” means, but what about in this context? What if just one person is not in step with everyone else? Could this person possibly be the one link in the chain that causes the whole chain to fail? Look at the word “IN”. Define this word for us. How much “in” is required? Are we “in” the boat when one leg is slung over the side, or must every part of our body be on board? What if a finger hangs over the edge? Okay, let’s tackle the word “THIS”. “This” what? This event, this mindset, this world, this ideology, or is it better to just leave that to be determined later as we move the goal posts to wherever we need them to be moved? Finally, the word “TOGETHER”. How “together” must we be? We can absolutely guaranty that no two individuals will ever agree 100% on everything. Have those two people define in detail the shade of any color, or how the breeze feels, or what they may be thinking exactly at any random time? The English language is so incomplete when conveying exact meanings. There are around 1 million words in the English language, although that could be off by as much as 25%. On the other hand, maybe the richest language of all would be the Greek language, which contains around 5 million words, but also about 70 million word types. So simple trite sayings in the English language can mean many different things to many different people. It is more precise to say that “WE ARE NOT ALL IN THIS TOGETHER”.
Let’s take a moment now to not be so detailed in our deconstruction of this phrase. Let’s take a more broad-brushed stroke at this phrase to see how it applies to the wide variety of citizens within our Nation. The results of the COVID-19 virus was not felt equally by all citizens. Most are aware of the forced lockdowns in many of our States, and of the disastrous impact it had on many citizens, businesses, organizations and institutions. Many citizens were laid off, many even lost their jobs. Many businesses were forced to close, and some had to set aside their business because of the draconian restrictions and fear that was induced by those having ulterior motives. Many lost their lives, not just because of the virus, but because of the resulting confluence of manipulated events. Most of these people and businesses mentioned above were in the lower rungs of our social and economic ladder within our Nation. It did not matter what color, creed, or gender, all were impacted in negative ways. On the flip side, there were a few, certainly less than the many mentioned above, who were essentially untouched by the impact of the virus and resulting dictates. We will not mention specific names, businesses, or organizations, because to do so would subject this website to personal attacks or even censure. We all know who we are talking about. They are the big, monopolistic businesses and corporations, and those who serve in their top echelons. They are those who continued to have jobs, whether they were in the government or media. They were those who could afford to isolate themselves from the tyrannical practices of the few in powerful positions. Not only did these institutions and people avoid devastation, but on the contrary, most proliferated their wealth and power. We cannot begin to tell you how angry we get when we hear those who wield the major voice outlets in the media or government tell us “WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER”, for any reasoned person can deduce that this is not the case.
When looking at the picture above, this is a more appropriate way to look at the impact of the virus upon our Nation. Yes, it is true, “WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME STORM”, but “WE ARE NOT ALL IN THE SAME BOAT”. So please, do not patronize us with these trite phrases, trying to make it seem that we are all in the same boat, that we are all being impacted equally. The phrase is just one way of trying to influence all our Nation’s citizens to feel as though we share in the tragedy being played out before us. It is the purpose of those in power to attempt to use words to make us believe their propaganda. It is a form of brainwashing, an attempt to mold us into the image they have for their idea of a reformed government, making us believe they know what is best for us, and that we all need to get on board with whatever program or ideology their are promulgating. Our freedoms do not derive from these people, these elites, the tyrannical governmental agencies, the “woke” minority. Our freedoms come from The Constitution of the United States of America. It is time for us to prepare to take back these freedoms from our oppressors. WE ARE ASKING ALL TO GO MASK FREE IF POSSIBLE, AND FOR ALL BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS TO FULLY OPEN UP BEGINING JULY 4, 2021.
