Have you ever awakened examining a word that you have never used or heard used but leaves an incessantly nagging urge to examine? I sometimes wonder why the Lord does this. Predaceous [ie. Living on prey] Preclusion [ie. The act of shutting out or preventing of access or possession; the state of being prevented from entering, possession or enjoyment.] defines the very nature of the draconian dictates being imposed upon us by an outrageously erroneous predicant.
Before we start we need to re-examine the founding fathers under girding defense of the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness clause in the Declaration of Independence. “The Rights of the Colonists as Men” authored by Samuel Adams begins as follows. “Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature. All men have the right to remain in a state of nature as long as they please; and in case of intolerable oppression, civil or religious, to leave the society they belong to, and to enter into another.”
John Locke, author of “Of Civil Government” in 1689 asserts, “the great and Chief End, therefore of Men’s uniting into Commonwealth, at putting themselves under Government, is the preservation of their property.”
Thomas Jefferson, in his first draft of the “Declaration of dependence also penned those infamous words “Life, Liberty, and Property.” “The commonality between these men and others involved the formation of our government was that these rights were “God given.”
The best definition of property I could find was that of James Madison’s essay entitled “Property.”
“Property… In the former sense, a man’s land, or merchandise, or money, is called his property. In the latter sense, a man has property in his opinions and the free communication of them. He has a property of peculiar value in his religious opinions, and in the profession and practice dictated by them…He has an equal property in the free use of his faculties, and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. In a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights…Government is instituted to protect property of every sort…Conscience is the most sacred of all property…
That’s a lot of property talk going on there. The “Sons of liberty” were not marching through the streets shouting “life, liberty and property” solely because of that minuscule tax by today’s standard, but by the absence of representation and a voice in the governing of their affairs and a right to their property as Madison defined it. The modern Marxist of today, true to their father, believes in the abolition of property. Due to the infiltration of their ideology into our government we see that rather than protecting property our government expropriates it by punitive taxation. We’ve seen bureaucratic agencies like the IRS weaponized. Under a democrat administration we’ll likely see the repetition of Waco atrocities veiled under the guise of justice and protection, and we’ll be able to watch it on TV. We will relinquish our rights and properties to worldwide bureaucratic agencies with no recourse. Black Americans will remain slaves and pawns to their masters in the democratically controlled cities. Unborn babies will remain property to dispose of as desired. That will be the only demented sense of property left under the guise of choice. The guilty [democrat] will be innocent seemingly because their finger is not on the trigger. They just provide the hit man. We’ve devolved a long way since the founding of this nation. It’s not a surprise, nor would be to the founding fathers. They gave us a Republic with a firm Biblical foundation giving us the three pillars that would support it. They purposely decided against a democracy because they always implode. Ask Benjamin Franklin … after the Constitutional Convention, people asked him what kind of government they gave us. His response…“A republic if you can keep it!
I realize a lot of people will argue about the Biblical foundation of our country and often reference Jackson and Franklin so I’ll throw in another quote from Benjamin Franklin while in France on what we would call immigration. Besides being what we perceive as being somewhat narrow regarding the type of person we would welcome, he has a somewhat unsettling assessment for the modern progressive Marxist in concluding his essay entitled “Benjamin Franklin’s Advice for those Coming to America, 1784.”
“The almost general mediocrity of fortune that prevails in
America obliging its people to follow some business for subsistence, those
vices that arise usually from idleness, are in a great measure prevented.
Industry and constant employment are great preservatives of the morals and
virtues of a nation. Hence bad examples to youth are more rare in America,
which must be a comfortable consideration to parents. To this may be truly
added, that serious religion under its various denominations, is not only
tolerated, but respected and practiced. Atheism is unknown there, infidelity
rare and secret, so that persons may live to a great age in that country without
having their piety shocked by meeting either an atheist, or an infidel. And the
Divine Being seems to have manifested his approbation of the forbearance and
kindness with which the different sects treat each other, by the remarkable
prosperity with which he has been pleased to favor the whole country.”
That predaceous preclusion the
Lord gave me, as I’ve come to see it, is the paint that’s coloring society
today. Suppression of Madison’s view of property mirrors that of every
dictatorial oppression seen in the history of man. Who could have dreamed this
as the “American” dream. If what we are seeing now is a pandemic, then we can
see one around the corner every time the left needs a political coup. Massive
voter fraud decried as a myth, censorship beyond the scope of anything our
country has seen in the past, outright lies by a one sided owned media, gives
us the assurance that the sound of one hand clapping is the new norm. If
history has taught us anything, it is that some one or group always wants to
rule the world.
An insatiable predaceous lust seeks it’s prey devouring
`anything in it’s path, precluding and suppressing that which suggests a God
given right. The hurdle they must cross and they refuse to acknowledge is that
God is real. He doesn’t change. Morality isn’t a floating crap table that
caters to man’s whim at any given time and He administers justice accordingly.
When a person’s life is a hindrance to their goal, it becomes disposable. If
the most vulnerable aren’t safe, don’t be deluded into thinking you are.
“We need intimate knowledge of the past. Not that the past
has any magic about it, but because we cannot study the future, and yet need
something to set against the present, to remind us that the basic assumptions
have been quite different in different periods and that much which seems
certain to the uneducated is merely temporary fashion. A man who has lived in
many places is not likely to be deceived by the local errors of his native
village; the scholar has lived in many times and is therefore in some degree
immune from the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press and the
microphone of his age.” C.S. Lewis
I love that guy. We have information coming out of our ears; some true and some false, but definitely not a lack of. Critical thinking is almost non-existent. Manipulation is the theme for today. If I might offer a modest example, and this model is widespread in textbooks today under different guises. You may ask me if I still beat my wife. If I say yes, I’m a wife beater. If I say no, I used to beat my wife. There’s no room for a truthful response that I have never beat my wife. Automatic assumptions are purposely injected to manipulate the response. People that swallow the lies surrounding the history of our country haven’t ventured out of our revisionist age back to original sources. Perspective is perverted for a purpose and the appetite for twisted fables to court our offended integrity are always on the menu. If “conscience is the most sacred of our property” as Madison says, it means little to the ideology that the end justifies the means. Conscience then, must most assuredly be reprobate to that end, and will negate any assurance of the security we have been accustomed to in this country. The beast is on the loose and his nature is as always “Predaceous Preclusion”.
“ Dungeon Grates” C.S.Lewis 1919
We shall keep
Our vision still. One moment was enough
We know we are not
made of mortal stuff
And we can bear all trials that come after
The hate of men and the fools loud bestial laughter
And Natures rule and cruelties unclean
For we have seen the Glory ----- We have seen
