Losing The Benefit of the Doubt

Every honorable person has the right to be believed honorable and trust-worthy of telling the truth. Every community gains the same right and every country is granted this gracious courtesy of diplomacy. Many people choose to lose their right to honor, and communities follow them and countries cave to powerful interests.
While fighting the corporate abuse predators and robber barons kings of their monopolies something back fired to this arrogant stance, residents of the North American colonies rebelled against corporate greed. Strong minded individuals and small business owners perceived and they were right to support their business, realized of the serious threat that the “Company” will do to them and took it to the streets. After incredible amounts of blood won the hard fought battle. The soldiers were send to fight the so called rebels, corporations always use the power of the military to fight rebels, and ended up realizing who they were supporting in many cases deserting. Armies in most cases succeed in suppressing the freedom fighters.
Today, we must be alert and recognized the fact of the power of corporations to kill for profit and they are unapologetic about using all citizen assets; from the rubber war of Viet Nan to the oil war of Iraq, stopping in the diamond war of Angola and the water war of Palestine and Israel.
There is not question power has corrupted individual and most importantly people’s leaders. The present motto of honor has truncate it into “if we do not get caught in the deception, then we are supreme.”
This not a new event or logic to justify dishonorable actions.
Such justifications come from a retired intelligence services people and other retired military individuals since Mesopotamia generals raid the land of Egypt and used methods that will seem incredible familiar today, six thousand years later the Roman leaders took great leaps and created the utmost despicable machine of people’s deception, and today we continue to be served with such tricks every single minute thanks to the communications advances.
Today, it is easy to see this logic in Fox News political and military commentators. Such candor expressed is a display to justify the insertions of bought “ true news” in Iraqi newspapers, the operation of secret jails and torture while denying they exist, black face killings under the idea of target killings, or the sophisticated wording of civilian “collateral damage” by American operators abroad. The tendency is justify every single item as do good. But in fact not all those justifications are seen equally and they are not a healthy way so show people the real good that can be developed with good will and
honesty. The distortions are a daily event, but reason must raise and fight to prevail, or redemption will not come easy.
Such unhealthy contentions to support deception are asserted as “the fact that we do all this unpleasant stuff is not important, the bad part if that we get caught,” a so called expert, continued saying on Fox News “secret operations are not for the faint of heart, many things we do they might seem bad and in fact they are bad, but you cannot get caught” his connotation was clear, doing bad things are a fact of secret operations, that’s why they need to be secret or people will revolt, we need to perfect how we do those bad things and do not get caught.

There is a clear popular stance that doing “what it takes” it is an acceptable position and procedures for most people do not need to be revealed, this acceptance ranges from enforcing illegal operations under the fancy name of “extraordinary renditions“ to the outright drug dealing with dictators, or support for corporations that break every single international law.

When such attitude starts to cross boundaries of human acceptance, it must be understood that without much warning this unhealthy behavior starts to cross dangerous borders of arrogance.
To arrive to such state of arrogance requires a blunt desire to disregard all common sense rules of decent behavior.

There is an evolving and growing displeasure with the acknowledgement that the American government due to actions that are unacceptable, even for the most fanatic supporter. It is becoming “too much.”
This is nothing new among leadership, some roman emperors were the creators of present populace manipulation, master popular manipulation to the extend of self-destruction, and we might be witnessing it if we do not start to recant some of the present accepted social behaviors instilled by leaders.
