We are still victims of tyrants and of the tyranny of our own ignorance and complicity. We are engaged in bloody Armageddon, but are mostly unconscious of who the enemy is, what weapons they are using, and what it is that they are after.
Some question why things are so bad, why the “good” seem so helpless and why they seem to end in early graves?
The answer to this and to our overall predicament can be provided by anyone conversant with the principles of the game of chess. A chess master will give his student audience four pieces of advice from which we can learn. He will say that the first thing that is needed is a sense of patience. He will say next that a sense of timing is essential.
Then comes one’s knowledge of the opponent, and finally, the clincher, the willingness to make any and all sacrifices to win. Now, can we see why we have the problems we do? The good have no patience, no sense of timing, zero knowledge of the opponent, and because of their inherent morality, are not able to make the necessary sacrifices. Compare this to the enemy.
They have endless patience, with strategies lasting millennia; they have an excellent sense of timing, moving in gradual stages while planning a long way ahead; they have intense knowledge of us; and most importantly, they are not the least bit hesitant to make any and all sacrifices that are needed.
In fact, that is exactly what they have been doing.
Rise up!
like lions after slumber In unvanquishable number
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in your sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many – and they are few
