It was as soon as attributed to Joe Hunt, co-founder of the infamous Billionaire Boys Club that, in a nutshell Lie once its to your benefit. A pundit rapidly coined this The Paradox Philosophy.
Certainly the pundit by no means personally conversed with the Billionaire Boys Club alumnus, but I have.
It really is Mainly unreasonable to consider that any single person may possibly come up with the so-referred to as Paradox Philosophy, but come across himself sitting in the prison chapel of a level four maximum safety prison serving many life sentences. No, only the actually strong and actually intellectual sorts would be able to come up with such an thought. (Some of them have even convinced the complete planet that they are complete nincompoops, portion of what the Paradox Philosophy is about).
The stakes would should be enormous, and these making use of the Philosophy would must be bold adequate and fearless adequate to blatantly impose the ideology in spite of its more than contradictions and inherently damaging nature toward humanity in basic.
Only a President of the United States of American and his close constituents may well pull this off and in no way finish up in prison.
Feel that the following wars have been and are deeply influenced and guided by The Paradox Philosophy; The war on Poverty (U.S. President Lyndon Baines Johnson, 1963-69), The war on Drugs (U.S. President Ronald Wilson Reagan, 1981-89), The war on Terrorism (U.S. President George W. Bush, 2001-gift).
None of those so-referred to as wars have been ever intended to be won e.g. bringing about whole annihilation or full suppression of the enemy.
Arguably, poverty, drugs (illegal and legal), and terrorism are the enemy of all mankind. I've come to reason, as I am certain most U.S. citizens have, that our government either can't defeat the enemy[ies], or merely do not want to. It really is significantly extra most likely that our leaders lack the want.
In a 1964 essay by George Orwell titled Politics and the English Language there can be found a description of 4 techniques reality is shrouded in cocoons of debased speech by the perpetrators of deadly political action:
- Pretentious diction;
- Verbal false limbs;
- Dying metaphors; and
- Meaningless vocabulary
It appears evident that we, as a country, take pleasure in becoming lied to by our leaders in government. Did any actually consider, then, or now, that LBJ genuinely intended to launch a genuine attack on poverty in the U.S., and even extra extremely, win?
In truth, absent all of the pretentious diction, verbal false limbs, dying metaphors, and meaningless vocabulary, it Surely seems (in retrospect) that President Johnson did in truth intend to launch and win a war. But the war was by no means a war against poverty. The war was against the thought of poverty. Two quite unique wars.
What the Commander-in-Chief actually intended was for poverty to no longer be labeled as poverty. Oh yes, it could possibly nevertheless exist, and it does. But most generally we refer to ourselves as upper, middle, or lover class citizens of the nation.
The word poverty does not even desire to arise in civil discussions. We see it, we label it as something other than what It really is, and viola! The war is won.
The Good Communicator Ronald W. Reagan! Let's not speak about Reaganomics or the Star Wars Strategic Defense Technique. Let's stick to what we know to had been a blatant but attractive lie; The War on Drugs.
We would all like to consider in the necessity of a war on drugs, and the imperativeness of it becoming soundly and decidedly won. That is, absolutely everyone but former President Ronald Reagan and his group who helped cook up the thought.
How does on propose to win a war on drugs once the incorrect enemy is becoming fought? The principal war really should be at our borders, period. If the drugs have been stopped at the borders (or ideally ahead of reaching and breaching our borders) theoretically all remaining illicit and illegal drugs in the U.S. would sooner or later dry up i.e. run out.
But what has occurred due to the fact the Gipper waged war on drugs in this nation? Largely street level drug customers and drug sellers were place into jails and prisons engorging the penal Technique.
The gargantuan quantities of drugs continue to come into the U.S. on planes, underground, on ships, and a number of varieties of mules.
It really is not all undesirable though. I am no pessimist. Mr. Reagan, by engaging a war on drugs, numerous jobs have been designed for the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), and other newly installed agencies made to help fight the war on drugs.
We all now know that the creation of the war on drugs was a creation of jobs paid with bloody currency and political platforms supported by the corpses of our decrease class U.S. citizens.
Also, a tidal wave of undereducated men and girls, lacking in social abilities started filling positions of correctional officers in the U.S. prisons in the U.S. prisons becoming constructed to home the domestic enemy combatants in the war on drugs.
It may even be argued that Mr. Reagan helped the economy and households by initiating a war which was never ever intended to be won. The present that keeps on providing.
Lastly, we have George Dubya and his war on terrorism. I will neither insult you, nor bore you with time wasted on pointing out all of the contradictions to this so-referred to as war.
But there is anything which really should not go unsaid.
The so-named war on terrorism can undoubtedly, positively, by no means ever be won as far as the U.S. is concerned. Why? We will be employing this ploy, and other variations, for generations to come as justification to meddle in the affairs of other nations, and to methodically strip our personal citizens of rights assured to us by the United States Constitution, and by the quite truth that we are human beings.
So, there will be no victory in the war on terrorism, at least not from the standpoint of the basic man and lady.
The new planet is becoming forged by those fake wars of The Paradox Philosophy.
What ever is not truism is gibberish.
War on poverty? War on drugs? War on terrorism? Gibberish.
Living behind bars twenty-3 hours out of twenty-4, possessing meals sent by means of a slot in the door, and not getting mail that could keep your spirits up is only portion of what Brian's "life" presently consists of. Brian Franklin Thames describes the full mockery of justice in which he found himself the wrongful centerpiece, the approach by which he was incarcerated, an the unyielding, undying hope of living in the absolutely free planet again.
