NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI
AND RESURRECTION FORCES
WHO AM
I?
I am Niccolo
Machiavelli. My treatise which separated politics from morality was called The Prince and published in 1513. The
brand has done very well! Only a modern mind would apply a then radical concept
- amorality - in so many practical policy ways at all levels of society
worldwide!
This year is the
30th anniversary of the Ronald Regan and Oliver North’s (two great American
Patriots's) Iran / Contra dealings. Reagan said publically he’d never deal with
terrorists. North diverted funds to terrorists and summed the situation with
what sounds as relevant today as 30 years ago: “There is great deceit,
deception practiced in the conduct of covert operations. They are at essence a
lie. We make every effort to deceive the enemy as to our intent, our conduct,
and to deny the association of the United States to those activities. . . and
that is not wrong.”
Only you have now
applied this principle exponentially and everywhere! Well done! You still
have the powerful 1% which govern the 99%, or as I called them in my day, “the
mob”.
The way I put it in The Prince: “All men will only see what you seem to be; only a few will know who you are, and those few will not dare to oppose the many who have the majesty of the state on their side to defend them. . . .For the mob is always impressed by appearances and by results; ad the world is composed of the mob.” (pg. 63-64)
WHY AM I HERE?
I stopped by to
remind you where your modern thinking comes from. You don’t call them Princes –
you call them Governors, but they will soon be saying: “What are you thinking?
We can’t de-criminalizing anything? We’re certainly not going to let an entire
generation of black men out of prison because of a little thing like overly
harsh drug penalties, are we?”
Remember it was I who said: “I say that
every Prince ought to wish to be considered kind rather than cruel.
Nevertheless, a Prince must be indifferent to the charge of cruelty if he is to
keep his subjects loyal and united.” (pg. 59-60).
Forces of
amorality go hand in hand with brutality. And, you have media today – something
I DIDN’T have! As I always said, “... a Prince should make himself feared in
such a way that . . . he escapes hatred; for being feared but not hated go
readily together. . . . And if he finds it necessary to take someone’s life, he
should do so when there is suitable justification and manifest cause. . .
pretexts for taking someone’s life arise more rarely and last a shorter time.”
(p. 60-61)
Your media and
networking and the brilliant law which says corporations are people make so
much more possible today – for who can really attack a corporation for
corrupting the land, seeds or food? Not even your government. Justice bows to
Economics.
WHAT DO I WANT?
Ah, what a long strange brand development
journey it’s been, the memories tumble together! The big dogs of racial,
religious, political and economic levers to move cultures around the world,
Black Panthers, Red Brigades, Soviet style, ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia,
Rwanda, Eco-terrorism, Jewish settler massacres, gang wars in Mexico,
Waco/Branch Davidians, Trade Union massacres, race riots, MOVE bombings, Chi
Coms,SA spying, Rodney King, 9/11, priest sex scandals, pipelines, GMOs,
Egyptian Spring, financial plundering, no jobs no future - with complicity of
Princes of all sorts.
The modern age has learned the lessons of
amorality well.
But there is a final lesson which Princes
do not want to hear and so will overlook. A lesson they find incomprehensible.
There is a force more powerful than their amoral politics, economics or false
religions because it comes from the heart of man.
I wrote, “. . . when the people begin
to look upon a thing with horror, they will persevere in that attitude for many
centuries, but Princes will not do so.” (pg. 111) And, over the years I watched
this perseverance and suffering at the hands of Princes and something happened.
I beheld the power of transformed horror.
You Princes and people look around, can you see this Resurrection Art appearing in nd transforming the bitter into the sweet?
