A RIGGED SYSTEM

   We have been tricked to believe that we have "a government of the people, by the people, and for the people", and our people in our own government have been keeping this secret a secret for more than two hundred years.
   Our Presidents, for example, have been selected and not elected. 
   But how are we to know that this is true?
   Other than Martin Van Buren, all other Presidents are from the same bloodline.  How in the world is this possible unless the system is rigged?
   Knowing that the election of Presidents is rigged, we can know this is true because, after all, who counts the votes?  Officials appointed by our government counts the votes! 
   Again, they have tricked us to believe that these officials are honest people!
   We, in turn, have always accepted the results of elections and have gone on with our lives because we have believed that we have elected honest and honorable people. 
   Our government, however, has kept us distracted  because our government has always wanted us to be busy  people. They want us to work, earn wages, have families, build houses, schools, churches, civic organizations, watch television, and any other activity that we can create and pursue.  And we have accepted taxation as part of our patriotic duty to have our wonderful nation with a democracy that is all about the people---a system that the world has never seen before.  As long as we are busy and with the focus of our attention on ourselves, we will not notice them. 
   To remain busy, our government has encouraged us to build companies and corporations to create jobs and to create wealth.  Of course!  The more wealth we can create the more tax revenue our government can collect! 
   Instead of calling us slaves of the government, they call us workers in the fields.
   As long as we are busy and concerned with our own lives and our own destinies, we will not pay attention to our politicians that rule over us; nor will we not know about their secret meetings behind closed doors in Washington---while believing that they have our interests in their hearts as honest and honorable representatives of us!
      "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."  (Ecclesiastes 12: 14)
   Isn't this an interesting verse in the Bible?
   For now, in 2016, corruption is being exposed from within our own government in Washington, in ways that this nation has never seen before, and the trail of "every secret thing"  is being exposed and opened, leading us to see the corruption of the President's people and even to see within the Oval Office as scandals and lies upon lies are being revealed.
   Jesus also faced a rigged system in Jerusalem.  For it was there that the temple priests desired to kill Him while the people of Israel had no fault with Jesus. 
  The temple priests, however, not wanting their corruption to be known by the people, kept their conspiracy to kill Jesus a secret because they did not want the people to know they had murder in their hearts. 
  And how could they?  The priests, these men of religion, wanted the people to believe that they were ministers of God, honest and honorable men, when, in truth, their souls were dark with evil.
   To cover or hide their scandal from the people, they completed their conspiracy in darkness.  They arrested Jesus in darkness, they conducted their trial behind closed doors before the light of day, they called false witnesses to testify against Jesus, and then they led Jesus to the house of Pontius Pilate before dawn where they received a conviction of death while Jerusalem slept.  So that by the time Jesus was dying on a cross for the sins of the world, the people of Jerusalem were shocked and stunned when they saw what the Romans had done to Jesus. 
   The Romans did it.  Of course!  The priests wanted the people to believe the Romans had bloody hands and not themselves. 
   Is this not the same rigged system we are seeing today? 
   While corruption is being exposed in Washington, the politicians are blaming Russia for hacking America's computer systems to deflect the attention from their own failed policies and programs.     
   They are also blaming Russia for assisting Donald Trump's campaign to deflect the attention from their own failed policies and programs.
   Even in our personal lives, isn't it easy for us to blame others for our personal failures?
   If all we can do is blame others to deflect our own failures, we are also operating a rigged system.
   Isn't it easy for us to poke our fingers at the sins of others in order to deflect the attention of our own sins?
      "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
