The "Shadow Government" in this thought experiment could very easily represent the sinfulness and selfishness of humanity; the darker aspects of our choices, if you will. We give power to these systems that degrade our value, therefore establishing a hierarchy of evil behavior and creating a divide between a "ruling" class and a "service" class.
Those that obey the laws of greed, power, and corruption against those of us who support life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It will be a blend of all people from all walks of life and perspectives in order to make a shift, I agree. This is a top-down issue, based on the actions of a few, however that does not speak to discredit the actions of the many cascading down through the ranks.
There is an infectious disease that lives in the systems of our country and our world. Part of that illness is in the perception of events as they occur, the other part being a lack of willingness to step up and accept responsibility for mistakes and misconceptions.
The cultural movement of "The Great Awakening", in its many forms and factions, is bringing about that change in structure we all are looking for. I also believe that hive.blog will be detrimental to helping bring voice to that change in the age of digital book burning. No matter your view, truth can be found on hive, because truth has no terms and conditions.
I could not be more honored to be here and a part of this renaissance.
