about

2 years into the plague of suspicious origins that swept over the world and blew open the door for authoritarianism to take over the planet, citizens of the world were seeing their inalienable rights to assemble and bring grievances against their governments disappear before their eyes in real-time through the unfiltered lens of social media and independent journalists. Did God invent the machine of communism which demanded the removal of its creator which left a vacuum to be filled by corruption, greed, tyranny and an absence of morality?

The people who applaud the jailing of individuals who have legitimate complaints against rapidly encroaching tyrannical rule are the same people who scatter in fear at the first sign of the light of liberty and freedom. They are content to be locked inside a chain link fence of control and micromanagement while the others, who mourn the loss of the world they knew, look on in horror and shock at the rapid transformation of their society into something unrecognizable which they no longer want to be a part of.
