What if…

With the United Nations, no sincere need for a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) exists. However, NATO persists, so one must ask the inexorable question.

Analysis notes the countries outside NATO retain independent militaries and robust manufacturing sources. NATO nations have de-industrialized and rely on the coalition, principally steered by the United States.

The Russo-Ukrainian war has diminished the already lean military supplies of certain Western nations. NATO finds itself incapable of providing a combined front of magnitude. Thus, we’ve heard calls for a European Union [EU] army outside the sphere of the United States, which is also lacking in military supplies thanks to the earnest to equip Ukrainian fighting forces. Indeed, Russia, China, India, Türkiye, Pakistan, Iran bristle with manufactures and militaries that stand to dominate the globe.

The occasion: rulers of nations are as prone to worship the “morning star” as they were two-thousand years ago. Having endured severe censures, however, these once naked rituals have persisted under the cover of occultism. The masses have become insensitive to reality, snoozing under the mild coverings of material ease, technological achievements. Observe the ‘cult of personality’ that soars in the mind’s eye in relation to certain impresarios over millennia. (Anyone who commands millions of votes, for instance, boasts a cult following. Such magnification of human beings is irrational, whether a politician, athlete, actor, musician, et cetera. Even expressing anger towards any of these amounts to reverence).

Immersing the entire world’s population in darkness is a gradual process. Not wanting to disturb the masses—most times—but encroaching incrementally, executives do not regard time like the hoi polloi. They run their portion of the race, hand off the baton and retire, trusting their successors to continue the magnificent work. Thus, the credulous preponderance remains still this instant, surrounded by malice.

Devotees will behold images of “master spirits” on tell-a-vision and automatically assume what they are witnessing is genuine, and base conclusions on the miniscule time they observe a “leading light” through the small, convenient lens; a contrived, brief screen portrayal. Indeed, this can only produce an oblique, narrow outlook. Alas, it is the believer’s preference.
