“They should be, he thought. The unknown was not nearly as terrifying as the known. And he understood quite clearly that these people were well aware was about to happen to them. And they also knew that no one else cared.
They were not rich.
They were not powerful.
They were truly the forgotten.
And their numbers were growing exponentially as the world was settling swiftly into a permanent state of the rich and thus powerful and then everyone else. And what the rich and powerful wanted, they usually got it.”
“What most people didn’t understand was that it was the risk-takers who made America great. It was said the rich had captured nearly all the wealth and all of the income generated over the last decade or so. Well Lampert thought, they should. it was right and just. The only thing wrong with income inequality was that it wasn’t equal enough
The 99.9 percenters were sheep and stuck right where they should be. They were the players to be named later. There were billions and billions of them and they looked exactly the same. The 0.1 percenters deserved everything because they were the elites. They were special. They moved the world to new heights.”
David Baldacci, author, The Forgotten
They call themselves the elites.
That doesn’t mean that we should play their game.
They truly aren’t. All they are is mad for control and have elitist views. Fork them and their views. BFYTW
They may “win” here on earth, but they will pay a MONSTROUS price when they stand before a Holy God and answer for their actions.
I, for one, hope to see them quaking on that day.
They won’t win.
I read today a blurb that totalled the world’s armies gun total at 135 million guns (+/-)
Just here in the US, private ownership of guns is somewher north of 400 million (no one really knows).
I rely on God for guidance, not judgement on the immoral. That’s up to me.
I can’t see 400 million guns being the total holding by “civilians” in the USA. During O’Bummers reign, there were 300 million background checks alone and with the guns held before that system, I’ve seen credible estimates that before O’Bummer, there were 600 million guns of all types held in the Country. So I’d put the estimate nearer 1 billion … of course if everyone was a good little citizen and registered them, then we could get an accurate number …
Gawd knows how many rounds of ammunition are kicking around but if all of them were fired, the EPA would have kittens at the lead “pollution”.
That’s what my wife is always saying. I don’t disagree, but how is that going to bring comfort to a little kid that’s cold, starving… or worse. We still have to address issues in this temporal phase.
That was written about all of us here on this blog
Yup, deplorable, useless eaters.
