Be ever vigilant...

So long as we are subject to deceitful powers, we will often fall short of meeting the challenges we face. For years, the powers of the west have preached democratic values even as they colluded and conspired against the interests of the average citizen. Except where the situation is already much more grim, this is becoming the status quo.

Even now, there are deals being made everywhere behind closed doors that are meant to serve only the agendas of the most elite. Worse yet, many in positions of power now serve private interests first and foremost. We must speak up. We must hold our leaders accountable or replace them entirely.

We can no longer allow ourselves to be held hostage by rhetoric and fear. If we are vigilant, the enemies of peace shall be made known. We must hold fast to our convictions that we might thwart their plans. If we do not, our lives and our freedom shall be forfeit. We will find ourselves left spinning in shallow graves, unable to comprehend the behemoth which has consumed us.
