The Most Heinous of Lies

All my life I have been presented by societal institutions with a never ending list of enemies. Their main aim was to destroy us, destroy democracy, destroy our way of life, destroy the economy, destroy the family, destroy society, destroy everything. They are always presented as somehow not human. They are fully evil and have one main objective--to get me and those I care about. This is the way we are mobilized to hate and fear.When the European settlers here in North America wanted Native Peoples' land and resources, those Peoples were presented as savages and not even human. Whole tribes were exterminated and those that survived lost everything. But they were the enemy and that is what we were made to believe they deserved. Today when the global corporate power structure wants the wealth and resources of the planet, it is the same old story. There are enemies everywhere and the only way we can be safe (gain control of their countries and get their resources) is to destroy them. So people all over the planet are presented as subhuman and monsters not worthy of life or the basic necessities of life. We are made to fear, hate, and destroy the people and the life of the planet and we do this horrendous evil because that is what our enemies deserve. But this propaganda is the most heinous of lies created so that human beings will do the most inhumane things to other human beings in the name of defense and safety. Sadly, it always seems to work.
