7. We are always victims of the big con. It is a driving force

behind Democracy, sadly.

A morally twisted group of cloned men under the cover of a disingenuously patriotic political party agenda step away from the masses going about the battle of daily existence and plot to control the big con.

Lie to the masses, appeal to the ideals, promise the calmest moon and brightest sun, give us just enough hope and opportunity to believe in the dream~ then steal our livelihoods our health our earth ( that was originally and violently stolen under a different big con)
Rinse, repeat.
Rinse, repeat.
Rinse, repeat.
After all, there is always a new generation born, in larger numbers to replace the dying, jaded, worn out, conned-out souls that bought into the cycle of hope previously and were beaten down by the avarice and obsessive self-serving of the men performing the big con. There are always more minds and bodies and wills to con and control by gender, ethnic, educational, civil rights and wrongs.

But therein is the kicker. The newer generation. The real saviors beyond religious hypocrisy. The real warriors of the hope battles. The energy source for the dream, fueled by the experience of the bone-tired, still fiercely kicking older generation but also driven by horrific need for self preservation in a brutally dangerous social environment created by the big con.

The newer generation, once awakened from a combination of youthful complacency or innocence or even ignorance and despair, will see the con for what it is. They’ll be smarter faster. They’ll be braver earlier. They will have the tools and global communications to “see” the con for what it is and “in numbers too big to ignore” they will resist, revolt, rejuvenate the soul of hope.

CORRECTION...they are awakened. They do see. They have the tools. They are sparking new life and purpose into the still existing, beaten down but not out “elders” who have been there done that...but not with the same insane risks.

The combination is awesome.

The big con will be brought down by the very people they played.

As horrific and battering as it is in getting there, I intend on sticking around to experience the end of this rinse cycle. And do my part in preventing the repeat.
