ARISTOCRACY AND THE VIRUS

Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is the 11th day of December in the year 2020 and on this report, I will be talking about how the Aristocracy in various societies over the centuries have adapted to changing conditions but very little has changed. They like to control things and things always seem fouled up under their control, but they tell us it’s not their fault. Right now, the aristocracy, the ruling elite, the powers that be, or whatever you call them are facing a very difficult set of problems.

 First, this week has been a happy one for the Castle family as we celebrate the 68th birthday of Joan, the family mama so happy birthday Joan. The family daughter honored her mother as best one can via video conference.

Throughout history advanced societies have always had their aristocracies and the aristocrats have always had their methods of controlling the people and retaining power. Kingdoms and empires are born, and they die just like we do. When the aristocrats can keep the people foolishly unaware of the scam that keeps them in power, the system works fine. When the people start to become aware that the aristocrats are in power based on a giant deception or scam then the people lose interest and the whole thing falls apart. That pattern has been repeated for centuries.

Many people can see that the hard times they are experiencing because of the virus are not being felt by their leaders. The hypocrisy so evident from the mostly Democrat leaders of our cities and states are alarming even to the woke people. The aristocracy that rules us reacts to the virus by grabbing more and more centralized control over the masses. The concept of individual freedom and individual rights disappear in a torrent of words about the common good.

For centuries, the aristocracy controlled the masses by using religion. They had the only route to God and God wanted it that way. The people could not read, and their holy books were in other languages, so they accepted their misery for centuries. The printing press changed much of that because with reading came a greater understanding of their condition.

In 1789 it all came to a head in France as that nation exploded in revolution. Roughly 17000 members of the religious and royal aristocracy lost their heads to the guillotine and thousands died in other ways. Revolutions often bring changes that are worse than before and this one brought the reign of Napoleon and a secular nation that is still secular today.

In our modern age the ruling elite, whether elected or bureaucratic, use science instead of religion to control us. We are often told to follow the science and to listen to the experts. Many groups of power seekers compete for control over us and each has its own group of science experts. They all want power, and they want to control us in their way rather than in some other way. The cold, unfeeling nature of the aristocracy has not changed much since revolutionary France.

The religious aristocracy in 1789 France blamed the starving condition of the people on the royal system and the royals blamed it on the religious order. Finally, the people had enough, and they cut the heads off all of them. Today, the Democrat order has Donald Trump to blame for every wrong turn concerning the virus, but just as in 1789, problems are starting to emerge that may not be solvable without very long-lasting results.

We, in the modern world, are far too cynical to allow the elites to control us with religion. Those in the Islamic world, at least to a certain degree, are exceptions, but for the rest of us we are controlled through science. Trust the science, listen to the science, let the experts explain the science is the mantra of toda...
