“God F**ked Up at Least Once, He Created Man”

 

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

In every country in the world, most men and women want the same things: safety and security for themselves and their families, and a decent quality of life which allows them basic human rights.

However, a small percentage, who have great wealth and power over the masses, have other ambitions. These people want more: what they have is never enough.

IF THERE WAS A GOD, HE OVERESTIMATED HIS CREATIONS

Throughout history, men who obtain power, along with great wealth, always want more power and greater wealth. These men and women are the destructive forces whose greed and ambition caused all the pain, agony, misery, and deaths throughout history.

Long ago, Kings, Queens, and other members of the royal family enjoyed lives of luxury beyond the imagination of their subjects. The separation between the powerful and the many was simply a great divide between the super-rich and the poor.

Today, in America, these people are called billionaires, and multi-millionaires. With this new century a small percentage of our nation’s people control more than 90 percent of the wealth. Corporations have moved on from capitalism, and have created a plutocracy. America is a business, not a country.

Plutocrats, composed of 813 billionaires, have complete control of our federal government. About five percent of all Americans control the lives of more than 330 million people.

THE REAL AMERICA

The truth is frightening. Approximately 98 percent of America’s 813 billionaires and nearly 5.5 million millionaires support Trump and his fascist agenda. A plutocracy cannot survive in a democratic society. Only a fascist regime can preserve their control of a nation’s future.

WE HAVE KNOWN ABOUT CORPORATIONS BUYING ELECTIONS SINCE “CITIZENS UNITED”

The Supreme Court is not infallible. In fact, it often displays a high level of ignorance. Citizens United, Roe v Wade, the recent decision in favor of big oil, specifically Chevron, were all made not in relation to the Constitution, but for political gain.

However, a mistake made at the Constitutional Convention, to give lifetime appointments to Supreme Court justices, prevents the ability of the American people to remove them from their lofty positions.

Think about this travesty.

In 2010, the Republican Party allowed a number of candidates calling themselves the TEA Party, to win elections across America. The truth is, these extremists were selected, and paid for by the Koch brothers and other billionaires. This began the end of the once Grand Old Party, which is nothing but a memory in 2024.

My fellow Americans, the terms are hypocrisy and corruption. These words define today’s “Republican Party.”

A FINAL QUESTION

When I say that God made a mistake, I am assuming that some all-powerful entity created everything we know. Maybe the fact that human beings are seriously flawed, and will never be perfect proves that there is no God in 2024.

Look at our country and the world today. Evil is everywhere and in control of all wealth and power.

I grew up a devout Catholic. One of the “eight beatitudes” states that God promised that: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”

When is this going to happen?
