There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:28)

Black is a color; it is not a race. Being black is not a human condition, albeit that is what many today treat it as. Those facts notwithstanding, being recognized as a skin color is the antithesis of unifying the fabric of the United States.

The emphasis on skin color has saturated, i.e., infected, the fabric of America to the point of redefining propriety. There is no noun, adjective, adverb, or participle that hasn’t been adversely affected by the fixation on skin color. And despite all evidence that the fixation upon skin color has served no purpose save to vilify and foment unparalleled discord, focus upon color continues to grow exponentially.

The overwhelming majority of those who possess large amounts of melanin, i.e., blacks, do not live in America as Americans; they live in America as a color. They demand to be identified by their melanin content and yet they are offended for being recognized by same.

All reference to them is based upon color of skin. A cursory reasoning typically finds nothing wrong with that, but critical reasoning understands there is plenty wrong with that mindset.

The addressing of someone as a color is divisive and marginalizing. When a people are recognized as a skin color first and above all else they cease to be part of the whole, becoming a subset of the whole instead. They are not referenced inclusively; rather they are recognized as a subset. All discussion starts with them being a color.

I once said during an appearance on Glenn Beck’s television program, “I do not go into a store as a color. I go in as Mychal Massie, and I’m there to shop, visit with someone, waste time, browse, or even just to use the bathroom.” Why is that important? It’s important because I do not feel a look in my direction or some innocuous behavior is “because I’m black.”

I don’t care if a store employee takes a look in my direction or even spies to see what I am checking out. They are doing their job, even if they do it clumsily.

The word minority is insulting and stigmatizing. I am an American. There are 330-plus million Americans. How can I be a minority if I am an American? Why would I want to be portrayed as something less than the whole of America?

As I stated, being black is not a human condition wherein every single person with visible melanin content has a maudlin story of overcoming “the white man.” Regardless of status and accomplishment, every person with black skin is expected to have had to overcome “white” oppression. If they say such hasn’t been their life experience, they are seen as Uncle Toms or denying that there’s racism.

That is an absurd and convoluted argument. Not having had to overcome “the white man” in no way suggests that racism doesn’t exist. Albeit, it is my opinion that with rare exception that which is quickly labeled as racism today is nothing more than ignorance, and by definition the two are not synonymous.

I recall a Hollywood actor with whom I am good friends telling me over dinner that he refused to adopt the lie of overcoming “the white man.” Hollywood is a rejection-based industry, and he has had both highs and lows just as others. He told me that he did not feel guilty because he wasn’t born into poverty or a broken home.

It is the hyper-fixation upon melanin content that divides us as Americans, not some orchestrated evil perpetrated by malevolent white men.

America doesn’t need a conversation on race because there is no such thing as race. Race is a construct of the social-Darwinists and is needed to validate evolution. A person is only an African-American if he is the first to immigrate to America from an African country. If they immigrate here, they remain an African or a native of whatever country they are from.

Once here, the future children and family are Americans – not hyphenations. It is beyond ludicrous to claim to be African because someone came over on a boat 400 or even 200 years ago.

I contend that it is an unconscionable wrong perpetrated upon children when they are forced to be what they are not. They are Americans, not Africans.

The idea of “hyphenated Americanism” is a trick of the cultural-Marxists intended to divide America against itself for the purposes of weakening our autonomy and anesthetizing us to globalism.

That said, the Census information should be American: yes or no; and male or female.

Tony Blair Says Brits Should Now Rise Up and Revolt

In studying history, it is interesting to see that it is always the left which creates uprisings and tries to force their beliefs upon all others. Historically, the left is responsible for the murder of countless tens of millions of people beyond what anyone can count.

Besides the intolerable American mainstream press who should be criminally charged for advocating the overthrow of the government (18 U.S. Code § 2385), now we have another left-winger in Britain former PM Tony Blair advocating that those who lost in the BREXIT referendum should “rise up in defence of what we believe”.

We are headed into such civil unrest and bloodshed, we do not need to worry about invasions, they are already here – the left who has lost in various elections and referendums. So get ready. They are the people who have justified in their own mind that anyone who dare to disagree with should be terminated and then their world will be perfect.

Should Independents  Boycott Disney for Supporting ABC News that is Just Leftist?

Meeting this week at the annual “World Government Summit” in the United Arab Emirates, under the shadow of a replica monument from the false god Baal’s temple, top globalists and establishment leaders from around the planet offered a series of stunning revelations about their agenda.

From the socialist new UN secretary-general and the embattled boss of the International Monetary Fund to national government leaders and tax-funded crony capitalists, over a hundred prominent speakers lectured thousands of attendees on the supposed necessity of globalism, multiculturalism, statism, Big Government, social engineering, “sustainability,” and more.

One speaker, tax-funded billionaire Elon Musk, even claimed humans must merge with machines and governments must give everyone an income.

Despite the array of high-profile speakers, the controversial gathering itself, organized by the Islamic rulers of the UAE and their partners, received very little attention from the U.S. media. Ironically, some major U.S. media organs such as the leftist CNN, dubbed “fake news” by U.S. President Donald Trump, were listed among the World Government Summit’s partners.

Sky News was also on the list. Other listed partners included the UN, the IMF, the World Bank, the OECD, the World Economic Summit, and other key globalist organizations.

Many of the leaders of those outfits actually spoke openly at the summit promoting globalism, Big Government, statism, and other ideas at odds with traditional American liberties, Judeo-Christian values, and the U.S. Constitution.

The overarching agenda of the summit was on display clearly for all to see. Globalist bigwig Klaus Schwab, for example, the founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum in Davos, told attendees that governments should promote his vision of globalism and a global regulatory regime to deal with real and imagined problems.

“We have to unite our national and global efforts to overcome the challenges of nuclear energy and climate change that threaten humanity, we need to promote national identity and global citizenship,” he declared. “The role of governments in shaping the future of their citizens has never been as important as it is today.” Whether governments should be shaping the future of their citizens in the first place was never discussed.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres (shown above), a Socialist Party politician and bureaucrat, similarly promoted statism and globalism in his keynote speech. Specifically, he argued that national independence was a relic of the past, while lamenting the fact that people no longer trust their rulers and the globalist organizations they established.

“In a world in which everything is global, in which the problems are global — from climate change to the movement of people — there is no way countries can do it by themselves,” said Guterres, who helped spread socialism and engineer the tsunami of Islamic immigration into the West before taking his current post. “We need global responses, and global responses need multilateral institutions able to play their role.”

Without explicitly saying it, the new UN boss also promoted the globalist effort to further empower Third World regimes in “global governance,” at the expense of the U.S. government and other traditional power-brokers.

“There is a need also for deep reforms in global institutions,” he said, using the same “multi-polar” world order rhetoric that has become commonplace among dictators and even Western globalists. “Reforms that have to do with power relations, namely in the case of the Security Council, or the way votes are distributed in international financial institutions.”

Of course, making the “global governance” regime more accountable to oppressive Third World regimes such as Communist China and its allies has been a key effort of the totalitarian Socialist International that Guterres led prior to taking his current job. The SI has previously called for “world government” and global tyranny.

Globalism and its new apparent cheerleader in chief, mass-murdering Communist Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, were hot topics, too, according to reports about the summit. “Many of the conversations that took place during the Summit revealed the days of multilateralism are not over,” explained Noa Gafni Slaney in a blog post about the confab for the far-left Huffington Post, with the term “multilateralism” being synonymous with globalism. “Xi Jinping’s speech at Davos was frequently mentioned as an example of a commitment to globalization and global citizenship.”

Indeed, as globalism continues to march forward despite growing global resistance, the mask is increasingly coming off and the links to brutal totalitarianism are becoming clear. And one of the leading characters behind the process, Chinese tyrant Xi, has offered a great deal of insight into where this will all be going if humanity does not resist.

Just last month, Xi emerged as the new king of globalism following his bizarre keynote speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “Globalism certainly creates some problems that we all need to solve together,” the dictator told fawning Western globalists. “But what should really scare us is any [leader] not willing to live up to the challenge.”

But long before that revealing speech, Xi and the murderous Communist Chinese Party he leads have for years been openly promoting what they and their Western allies — George Soros, Henry Kissinger, and David Rockefeller among them — refer to as the “New World Order.”

If official statements and declarations by Beijing and its totalitarian-minded allies are an accurate indicator, the new order they are working to impose on humanity involves a newly empowered UN ruling over humanity. The UN General Assembly will serve as what the Chinese dictatorship and other totalitarian regimes called an “emblem of global sovereignty” in a recent declaration about their “New World Order.”

Numerous other personalities tied to governments and international institutions spoke at the World Government Summit as well. Bizarrely, perhaps, considering the location and her background with the mass-murdering Bulgarian Communist Party that ruthlessly persecuted Muslims, scandal-plagued UNESCO chief Irina Bokova spoke at the confab as well.

A number of current and former communist operatives, including Chinese Communists, also spoke at the summit. So did UN Development Programme boss Helen Clark of New Zealand.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, meanwhile, whose government enforces an incredibly strict immigration policy, touted a world that was becoming “more culturally diverse.” He called on governments to “use this diversity as a pillar to enable economic growth based on innovation,” whatever that means.

Outside of government and tax-funded globalist international organizations, a number of allegedly “private sector” representatives also attended the World Government Summit.

They pushed the same globalist agenda, but with some additional — and potentially terrifying — new twists. Billionaire businessman Elon Musk, for example, a self-styled entrepreneur who has been criticized for relying so heavily on government subsidies to fund his various schemes, pushed forward a number of important establishment talking points.

Among other elements, he advocated the transformation of human beings into cyborgs, as well as a globalist scheme to have governments radically increase people’s dependence on government by providing a “universal basic income” to everyone on the planet.

According to Musk, big changes are coming in the economy, and so, many people will be unemployed in the future. As such, government must rescue them by providing for everyone a “universal basic income,” basically a technocrat’s dream pushed for years by establishment globalists.

“I don’t think we’re going to have a choice,” explained the tax-subsidized businessman involved in electric cars and space exploration. “I think it’s going to be necessary. There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better…. I think universal basic income will be necessary, but the much harder challenge is: How will people then have meaning?”

Perhaps the new waves of unemployed can find meaning to their lives by merging their brains with computers, literally, Musk suggested. “I do think there is a path to having some sort of merger of biological intelligence and machine intelligence,” Musk was quoted as saying.

“It’s mostly about the bandwidth, the speed of the connection between your brain and the digital version of yourself, particularly output. Some high bandwidth interface to the brain will be something that helps achieve a symbiosis between human and machine intelligence and maybe solves the control problem and the usefulness problem.” Those who refuse may become irrelevant.

Another speaker at the summit whose work is funded by taxpayers and is closely tied to government was National Geographic Fellow Dan Buettner, the man behind the controversial “Blue Zones Project.” As The New American reported in 2015, the scheme pushes government-backed social engineering under the guise of promoting healthy living and longer lives.

On the 23rd January 2017 the EU Commission issued the “Commission Initiative Roadmap” for 2018 regarding the step up fight against the financing of terrorism, also known as its ‘Payments Restriction Initiative’ or as we are reading more often, the cashless society.

This document is an extension of the communication document dated February 2016 (COM-2016/50) and updated to include new regulations for member countries to implement and future intentions by the Commission.

The policy looks to the “Regulation on the controls of cash entering or leaving the Community and relevance of potential upper limits to cash payments.” The Action Plan states that “Payments in cash are widely used in the financing of terrorist activities.”

In its conclusions on the fight against terrorism, the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of 12 February 2016 called on the Commission

“to explore the need for appropriate restrictions on cash payments exceeding certain thresholds. In particular the Proposal for an amendment of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive2 (COM (2016) 450), which introduced stricter transparency rules and other measures targeted specifically at terrorism financing.

Furthermore, the initiative should be seen in conjunction with the ECB’s decision of 4 May (20163) to discontinue the production of the EUR 500 banknote and stop the issuance of this denomination by around 2018 to address concerns that these notes could be used in financing illicit activities.”

The report goes on to advise that “any measure restricting cash payments would be complementary to the specific actions addressed by the review” and to include “virtual currencies (such as BitCoin) and prepaid instruments (such as pre-paid credit cards) when they are used anonymously.”

New anti-money laundering rules will cover high value goods such as works of art, precious stones or auctioneers, which requires that they apply customer due diligence measures, full identification of customers and keeping records of transactions when receiving cash payments of €15,000 or more.

This latest document extends the cash payments rule by reducing the €15,000 limit on transactions to €10,000 by June 2017.

Unbelievably, the EU Commission is using the logic of banning cash by stating their “remains the lack of readily available and solid evidence on legitimate vs illegitimate cash transactions.” They maintain that “It is difficult to quantify the legitimate or illegitimate use of cash.”

These statements are clearly untrue. Evidence on the amount of cash and how it is used in any given economy is widely known and many government’s even publish it quarterly or annually.

For instance, on average, wallets in Germany hold nearly twice as much cash—about $123 worth—as those in Australia, the US, France and Holland, according to a recent Federal Reserve report on how consumers paid for things in seven countries.

Roughly 80% of all transactions in Germany are conducted in cash. (In the US, it’s less than 50%.) And cash is the dominant form of payment there even for large transactions.

In Britain, cash payments have fallen to 48% of all transactions – but that is still 18 billion individual transactions made up of £250billion annually. Within those numbers, 10% of all payments were direct debits, like paying for rent, mortgages, utilities and loans.

In all countries, estimates of corrupt cash payments are published.

Several EU countries, Britain included, even adds illicit transactions such as drugs and prostitution to GDP in an effort to boost published economic performance data.The EU Commission continues its misinformation campaign by stating that:

Cash has the important feature of offering anonymity to transactions. But, such anonymity can also be misused for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes. The possibility to conduct large cash payments facilitates money laundering and terrorist financing activities because of the difficulty to control cash payment transactions.”

Whilst that statement is true, it does nothing at all to stop terrorism. It is well documented that the 9/11 attackers spent months living in the United States. They rented homes, used bank accounts and credit cards to finance daily living, to merge anonymously into society and of course pay for everything required to perpetrate one of the biggest ever terrorist events in history.

Most of this was financed by electronic bank transfers, not payments in cash. As the French found out in the terrorist attacks of January 2015, and the Germans did last December in Berlin, so-called ‘sleeper cells’ were effectively living invisible lives in various locations, both close to actual event or within the borders of Europe, but still had bank accounts, credit cards and mobile phones.

It also does nothing to stop terror-financing and money-laundering, as by far the biggest launderers globally is the Western banking system itself, the EU banks included.

For instance – HSBC admitted to openly laundering billions of dollars for Colombian and Mexican drug cartels and in so doing violated a host of banking laws such as the Bank Secrecy Act to the Trading With the Enemy Act.

The USA spent $35 billion in 2015 alone fighting a drugs war only to witness over 9o% of the proceeds of the crimes it was attempting to stop laundered through banks.

The fine HSBC received of $1.9 billion, which as one analyst noted is about five weeks of income for the bank is no deterrent. There was so much cash to be laundered that drug dealers specifically designed boxes to fit through the bank’s teller windows and the bank knew where the money was coming from and what accounts to apply it to.

The money is then distributed over tax havens and filtered into legal operations the world over. One should note that it is estimated 120,000 have been killed in this drugs war and nearly 30,000 more are missing.

If the EU Commission wants to stop finance terrorism and money laundering – they need not look further than the Western banking system and its network of tax havens that launders trillions of dollars every single year, as evidenced by this article; Enemies of the State: How The Financial Services Industry Is Destroying Democracy.

Some EU countries are using terrorism as cover for the implementation of its cashless society initiative and already imposed maximum bank withdrawals.

Some larger transactions in cash or moving cash from one EU country to another already require the state to be informed. Cash payments for goods and services in France and Italy have been limited to a maximum of €1,000.

In Spain the maximum cash transaction is €2500 and no transactions in cash over €15,000 are allowed. The EU is now considering the banning of lower denomination notes than the €500.

“The ECB has already decided to progressively phase out the €500 banknote. But as long as cash exists, large payments will remain possible even with lower denomination banknotes. Therefore there is an option to extend the restrictions to cash payments to all (including crypto) payments.”

The EU Commission is also looking at its legal position that might be, or at least should be challenged. However, the work-around is explained thus:

While being allowed to pay in cash does not constitute a fundamental right, the objective of the initiative, which is to prevent the anonymity that cash payments allow, might be viewed as an infringement of the right to privacy enshrined in Article 7 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

However, as complemented by article 52 of the Charter, limitations may be made subject to the principle of proportionality if they are necessary and genuinely meet objectives of general interest recognised by the Union or the need to protect the rights and freedoms of others.

The objectives of potential restrictions to cash payments could fit such description. It should also be observed that national restrictions to cash payments were never successfully challenged based on an infringement to fundamental rights.”

One point that the EU Commission do not focus on is cybercrime. Europol set up the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) in 2013 to strengthen the law enforcement response to cybercrime in the EU and thus to help protect European citizens, businesses and governments from online crime. Cybercrime costs EU Member States EUR 265 billion a year. And that’s just the financial side.

There is no contingent for a financial cyber-attack from say Russia, the latest arch enemy that seems able, according to the CIA and FBI, to decide who gets into office in Washington DC.

If a foreign enemy state was indeed able to successfully launch such an attack it would bring any country to its knees within days if there was no cash moving around the economy as society would be entirely dependent on an electronic payments system.

The document ends with the observation that depending on the complexity of the final proposal and the legal instrument used, an implementation plan is not just feasible it might well be established quite quickly.

The EU’s war on cash and desire to control citizens through a cashless-society model is snowballing without a real open debate with its people.

Their agenda may be on the rocks in the United States at the moment, but that doesn’t mean that the globalists are giving up.  In fact, a major push toward a cashless society is being made in the European Union right now.  Last May we learned that the 500 euro note is being completely eliminated, and just a few weeks ago the European Commission released a new “Action Plan” which instructs member states to explore “potential upper limits to cash payments”.

In the name of “fighting terrorism”, this “Action Plan” discusses the benefits of “prohibitions for cash payments above a specific threshold” and it says that those prohibitions should include “virtual currencies (such as BitCoin) and prepaid instruments (such as pre-paid credit cards) when they are used anonymously.”

This new document does not mention what an appropriate threshold would be for member states, but we do know that Spain already bans certain cash transactions above 2,500 euros, and Italy and France already ban cash transactions above 1,000 euros.

This is a perfect way to transition to a cashless society without creating too much of an uproar.  By setting a maximum legal level for cash transactions and slowly lowering it, in effect you can slowly but surely phase cash out without people understanding what is happening.

And there are many places in Europe where it is very difficult to even use cash at this point.  In Sweden, many banks no longer take or give out cash, and approximately 95 percent of all retail transactions are entirely cashless.  So even though Sweden has not officially banned cash, using cash is no longer practical in most situations.  In fact, many tourists are shocked to find out that they cannot even pay bus fare with cash.

So most of Europe is already moving in this direction, and now this new Action Plan is intended to accelerate the transition toward a cashless society.  The public is being told that these measures are being taken to fight money laundering and terrorism, but of course that is only a small part of the truth.  The following comes from the Anti-Media…

The European Action Plan doesn’t mention a specific dollar amount for restrictions, but as expected, their reasoning for the move is to thwart money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Border checks between countries have already been bolstered to help implement these new standards on hard assets. Although these end goals are plausible, there are other clear motivations for governments to target paper money that aren’t as noble.

In a truly cashless society, governments would be able to track where everybody is and what everybody is doing all the time.  And in order to have access to the cashless system, people would have to comply with whatever requirements governments wanted to impose on their helpless populations.  The potential for tyranny that this would create would be off the charts, but very few people seem greatly alarmed by the move toward a cashless system all over the globe.

Even in the United States there are calls for a cashless system.  For example, the former chief economist for the IMF wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal not too long ago in which he recommended the elimination of the $100 bill…

There is little debate among law-enforcement agencies that paper currency, especially large notes such as the U.S. $100 bill, facilitates crime: racketeering, extortion, money laundering, drug and human trafficking, the corruption of public officials, not to mention terrorism. There are substitutes for cash—cryptocurrencies, uncut diamonds, gold coins, prepaid cards—but for many kinds of criminal transactions, cash is still king. It delivers absolute anonymity, portability, liquidity and near-universal acceptance.”

Over in Asia restrictions are being put on cash as well.  Legendary investor Jim Rogers commented on what is currently happening in India during one recent podcast…

The time will come when you won’t be able to buy a cup of coffee without being traced, warns investment guru Jim Rogers. To control people, governments will increasingly seek to hunt down cash spending, he adds.

“Governments are always looking out for themselves first, and it’s the same old thing that has been going on for hundreds of years. The Indians recently did the same thing. They withdrew 86 percent of the currency in circulation, and they have now made it illegal to spend more than, I think it’s about $4,000 in any cash transaction. In France you cannot use more than, I think it’s a €1,000,” said Rogers in an interview with MacroVoices Podcast.

The reason why this is taking place all over the planet is because this is a global agenda.

The globalists ultimately plan to completely eliminate cash, and this will give them an unprecedented level of control over humanity.

One thing that many fear may someday be implemented is some form of microchip identification system.  In order to access the cashless grid, you would need your “ID chip” so that the system could positively identify you, but of course there are millions of people around the world that do not intend to get chipped under any circumstances.

In the old days, you would be labeled a “conspiracy theorist” just for suggesting that they may try to chip all of us one day, but in 2017 things have completely changed.

Just look at what is happening in Nevada.  A bill has been introduced in the state senate that would outlaw the “forced microchipping of people”…

State Sen. Becky Harris said a bill to prohibit forced microchipping of people is not as far-fetched as it might seem, because it happens in some places around the world.

Senate Bill 109 would make it a Class C felony to require someone to be implanted with a radio frequency identifier, such as microchips placed in pets.

The idea for the bill came from a constituent, the Las Vegas Republican said.

If that sounds very strange to you, then you may not know that companies all around the globe are already starting to explore this type of technology.  For instance, a company in Belgium called NewFusion has actually begun to microchip their employees…

In a move that could be lifted straight from science fiction, workers at a Belgian marketing firm are being offered the chance to have microchips implanted in their bodies.

The chips contain personal information and provide access to the company’s IT systems and headquarters, replacing existing ID cards.

The controversial devices raise questions about personal security and safety, including whether they may allow the movements of people with implants to be tracked.

Technology like this often starts off being “voluntary”, but then after enough people willingly accept it the transition to “mandatory” is not too difficult.

We live at one of the most critical moments in all of human history, and the globalists are certainly not going to lay down and die just because Donald Trump won the election.

The U.S. represents less than five percent of the population of the planet, and in most of the world the agenda of the globalists is on track and is rapidly advancing.

The globalists want a unified one world economy, a unified one world religion and a unified one world government.  The election of Donald Trump was a blow to the globalists, but it has also made them more dangerous, more ruthless and more determined than ever before.

And in case you think that using the term “globalists” is a bit strange, the truth is that even the New York Times is using it to describe the global elite and their global agenda.

We are in a life or death battle for the future of our society, and the globalists are never going to give up until they get what they want.  So now is not a time for complacency, because the very future of our country is at stake.

President Trump has been labeled a dictator, fascist and many other names. I don’t believe he is either one of these but he is trying to fight totalitarianism, the very thing he is accused of.

What is Totalitarianism?

It is a society living by and for continous warfare in which the ruling class have ceased to have any real function but succeed in clinging to power through force and fraud. Its all about money, power and greed.

In his book, Blood money: The civil War and the Federal Reserve, John Remington Graham writes,

The death of the American Republic, that former shining light to oppressed humanity everywhere, was not caused by slavery, nor was its death caused by unfair tariffs, or even States asserting the right of secession. No, the great American experiment in constitutional government by the consent of the governed was ruined by a plot to gain control of banking and currency. 

We learn from Paul’s letter to Timothy that “in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear]. (2 Timothy 3:1 AMP)  Why? Because:

People will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters.

They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane. [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.

Now perhaps we don’t need look very far to find out what kind of society we have become–the generation that exalts me, myself, and I. This selfie generation, so easily decieved and manipulated.
