Honesty and Accountability

Those two words currently do not apply to our government. On any level.

Why is that?

These things aren't new, they have been around for a while, yet they are rarely used, if ever, where the government is concerned.

If the people really found out what their government does, there would be a revolution. Some of us know a little bit about what it does, some even more, but most people don't or even worse won't.

The government takes money from the people, part of our social contract, and is supposed to use it for the security and safety of the people who put it into place. It is this willing allowance we give to the government that is supposed to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves or to protect everyone in society. Of course, right now, it is not a willing allowance, it is a required debt, in most cases, and is vehemently enforced.

In any event, the government wastes most of the money it is given on petty shit. The money is used to further some personal agenda and to keep them in the power that we allow them. By subterfuge and outright lying, they say and do whatever keeps them in power. And the problem is, no one is keeping them accountable for their actions.

Sure, there are some groups trying to keep them honest, but because it has so much money that they have taken from us and used for these means, it is difficult for these small groups to uncover everything that the government is hiding.

But if the people really knew, this government would fall.

The problem: Fear.

The propaganda machine that the government runs keeps most people in fear all the time. Fear of people who are different. People "over there", people who look different, people who act different, people who disagree with us, people who have more/less money then us, people who have power over us (politically, religiously, monetarily, socially, forcibly).

People are kept in a perpetual state of fear so that the government can obfuscate all the evil things it is doing to us and to other people around the world.

We need to apply, all the time, every moment, honesty and accountability on everyone who has power to make, judge, or enforce laws. Everyone in the government, everyone with power has to be held accountability for what they say and do. It is our right to know what the government does in our name and it is our right to get rid of any government that does not do what it is supposed to do, or does things it should never do.

So every time you hear a politician talk, it is a lie. Every time a politician does something, they are not accountable.

This HAS to change or we will fall into such a fear-filled state that we will either die in droves in misery or that it will annihilate us and everything on this planet.

Change the world, one truth at a time.
