Back in 1979, a movie came out that featured Mel Gibson as “Mad Max” — a lawman who, after losing his family to a roving gang of bloodthirsty marauders, decides to take the law into his own hands, dealing out “street justice.”
By 2008, most good talent left Hollywood or became corrupted or compromised. Heroes were systematically annihilated, non-heroes were elevated, and even Batman and Superman attempted kill each other.
Thought experiment: For every good film after 2008, at least two exist prior to 2008.
Good writers continued to exist in the video gaming world though, even with very few good productions coming out of a corrupted and a compromised Hollywood. In 2009, gamers got introduced to the Badlands of Pandora, the most mixed-up planet in the universe. Like Mad Max, the law broke down, and the inmates ran the asylums.
NOTE: The Borderlands game has now been made into a movie.
It isn’t science fiction to picture people acting according to a law of their own, or a law of the jungle, because — prior to the United States of America — humanity suffered from a tribalist, “loot & plunder” philosophy which was more the rule than the exception. To get ahead back then, you built a tribe, and then plundered others.
There are hints of widespread injustice occurring in parts of the world where the government is allowed too much power over its citizen-subjects. In India, a legal counsel, Dr. Colin Gonsalves, is interviewed in Minute 53 of the first Plandemic film:
“India is a barbaric country. Things happen here in a very barbaric way. But I was surprised to find an American organization, operating in broad daylight, doing things in a very, very ... let's say ... Indian fashion.”
A recent talent show contestant on The Voice mentioned how Venezuela became a dangerous place to live. When non-Americans of all ages and backgrounds tell us “how bad it is out there” then we should take note and be on the look-out for groups seeking to concentrate too much power — like they were doing during COVID.
By acknowledging the individual rights of human beings in its founding documents, the USA broke with humanity’s past and propagated a new way of thinking about government on planet Earth. But recently, bad guys have been attempting to take down the USA, persistently corroding the spirit of truth, freedom, and justice for all.
Evidence of our recent descent into barbarism — the outcome of a persistently corroded spirit — is seen with kangaroo courts attempting to go after presidential candidates, and an intelligence community going after parents interested in protecting their children from propaganda in schools, and in unenforced borders.
It’s now stretching into pageants, as both Miss USA and Miss Teen USA have resigned their positions in moral disapproval of institutional wrong-doings. In what kind of a nation do pageant winners resign in moral disgust? Think about it.
What is it that is so bad that it could make you relinquish your crown? Think about it.
Instead of allowing bad actors to continually corrode the spirit of truth, freedom, and justice for all (the spirit of the USA), let’s push back against any kind of a Great Reset. The bad guys have had a decades-long head-start while we were sleeping, and they have corroded much that is good. But there is still time to save the Hope of the World.
