SOME DISTURBING QUESTION MARKS!

If television is observed with a careful analysis approach it is easy to determine what tendencies, hidden agendas, or subliminally covered practices, are being placed on the international awareness scenarios.

By doing so there is a great possibility to visualize what could be minimally labeled as disturbing question marks, to say it simply and concise.

A few days ago I watched another episode of the popular TV show “Law and Order” that brought a lot of intellectual and emotive commotion to the surface of my inner being.

It related the fate of a couple, divorce lawyers both, and the show started with the husband telling his wife, while going to bed, that they were doing what was right, and the world could well get rid of two, rocking the boat individuals (my words).

They were found dead, killed, very shortly after these assertions, by unknown persons, setting up the scenario for a description of a very disturbing social scenario, set up in a impoverished nation and certain wealthier, but abusive and insensitive, circles of another nation.

It is not that I do not want to mention by name Haiti and the United States as is done in the show. It is because what is described there, it applies, so aptly, to another social scenarios being, boldly, pharisaical, cynically, overwhelmingly, played at an international level at these precise moments.

Because this is what is being forced to swallow on behalf of an utopian, imaginary, distorted, notion of a socialist freedom which is not but another version of manipulation and deception.

As one of my friends, so bitterly commented, when sharing, with him, about the similarities of the show´s theme with the social aspects of the international turmoil and clashes, this has been going forever, through the ages.

His assessment was that abuse has always suffocated freedom, and has made slaves of the more numerous, but less endowed, by the lesser in numbers, but privileged, members of the elites by inheritance, or revolutionary social climbing and manipulation.

But let´s analyze the televised tale. A young impoverished boy bought and sold for almost pennies, under a false and pretended adoption by a wealthier family, supposedly moved by compassion and desires to give him a better place in society.

Aren’t our young and present generation being sold and bought for almost pennies of hope, crumbs of illusion of freedom and power, by so many wealthier or seeking wealth social agitators, supposedly moved by compassion, solidarity and mercy? And worst of all, feeling divinely appointed?

The triggering action of the drama? A little girl, used as leverage by a vengeful wife in a bitter and financially motivated divorce, who, besides having been sexually abused, then is discarded, sent back to his native country, disappearing into oblivion.

Isn´t that the fate of the less able to defend themselves, usually our women, after being abused? Isn´t that the fate after being used as useful fools after so many grandiloquent harangues, once the so called liberators conquer and consolidate their political and financial control and power?

And the drama unfolds itself. The investigation leads to another couple, who becomes the exploitation link, profiting out of the cheap buying and expensive selling of their miseries, even if by doing so condemn them to force slavery among the wealthier.

And the story goes on. Not only the couple keeps a boy as their modern slave but more than 16 other more. Even one tries to disguise their action by telling the police that what they have in their basement is a restless, noisy dog, and not a very young girl ironing their masters´ clothes.

Are not these sixteen couples a vivid example of the more than sixteen international bureaucracies, actively involved in the defense of the status quos, on behalf of pretended structures of democracy, progress and social well being?


And the drama burst up. The boy lies and defends his masters, just because they have given him a new bed that fills the small cat´s urine reeking cubicle under the stairs, after the investigation reaches their home.

Are not the children of the so called revolutions of today doing the same? Feeling happy because they have been given a cot to lie beside the foul smelling odors of their disoriented and squalid lives?


And the climax approaches. The young daughter girl of the house, and the mother who has lost all vestiges of womanhood sacrificed on the altar of personal comfort and convenience, try to justify what is becoming more and more evidently unjustifiable.

Is not that what all the traditional and revolutionary elites in every modern country do to preserve pretended rights and privileges? Even at the cost of trampling down those who, obligedly, serve them? Because in their twisted thinking is what needs to be done because the oppressed ones do not deserve any better?


And the climax explodes. The young girl was the one who led the slaved boy to kill the ones who really cared for the oppressed. And the system remands both of them to preventive incarceration.

And the difference in treatment becomes the crux of the dramatic tale. The boy justify the induced killing as the price to pay for his inner desire to be free, even a relative freedom bought at the price of slavering performing task and the murdering.

And the justice closes its ears. And the girls is treated fairly as a member of the ruling but the boy is forced to join the slave lines of the imprisoned scum of society.

And when the boy dispiritedly asks the detectives, more in an affirmative way that a question… do I have to go this way? so, will I never be free? The detectives just stay confounded, and evidently impotent, meekly answering: this is the way that the system works.
And I ask… do things have to be so?

Do we have to give up integrity and righteousness to prevent becoming part of the oppressed and the abused?
Is there no other way but submit to the social parasites of this world?

What you should do when this senseless chaos afflict your own?

Is the right thing to take refuge in the Christian concept of the remnant?

Is the cry for revenge and getting back on the part of the abused to be condemned, discouraged, prevented, especially when it has affected your own?

Are our younger ones condemned to become the thugs and the instrument of the new oppressors of their nation, family and friends, just to be discarded when they are no more useful to them?

Are we condemned to just stand by and sadly whisper that that is how the system works, as the detectives did?


If someone has the rightful, real answer, please stand up and do what is needed to do.
