From the mind of critic: “If speaking truth to power is the biggest way to prevent our consitutional democratic republic from going the way of the Roman Empire, then how come power is so afraid of truth being spoken to it? Is power afraid truth will uncover all it’s secret methods of greasing the wheels, causing the system to fail? Or is power afraid of truth not because they’re afraid the system will fail, but because they’re afraid they personally will lose power? Many similarities have been proven over the years comparing our system, to the Roman Empire. We both had military bases all over the world, as well as political, financial and economic interests to foment control. That massive power can only exist if truth is made to be the enemy of the state, but only if that truth didn’t come from power. The power is okay with truth if it’s their truth. If somebody esle’s truth confronts theirs, it’s automatically false and a lie. Can our American system survive the people’s truth is spoken? Will the system change to better represent the people, if power isn’t concentrated into hands that are too human to understand it? Can truthful power be held or even exist? Is truthful power an oxymoron? If we want to live the life we see in front of our face and feel in our hearts, and not what some power broker tells us through our ears, then speaking truth to power is imperative. We have nothing to lose, and only positive and collective consciousness to gain” 🙂
