          DEMOCRACY AT GUNPOINT   (ViPer002.) 

 

 
     After the end of World War II, most of this 
planet found itself in the role of an unwilling 
accomplice to the new war, which later came to be 
known as "Cold War." 

     In the late 80's, the Cold War was over. And the 
looser of this war, which was Soviet Union, really did 
loose. Within the next few years, the empire lost much 
in the way of land, resources, jobs, economy, etc. 

     At the same time, the winner found itself in the 
process of loosing political, economical and military 
power. As the Soviet Block broke into pieces, most 
communist regimes found themselves loosing control; 
while the opposition began taking over (without the 
support of United States). 

     Within months, there was another explosion, 
a new wave of modern technologies, as well as crime 
and prejudice in the United States. 

     At the same time, we found ourselves playing 
the role of a peace officer to the whole planet. 
Middle East, Somalia, Serbia, Middle East again, 
Haiti. It is as though our leaders find us new wars 
to fight as old ones get less and less popular. 

     Some of US citizens just love that. Others? 
Well, others wonder about the reasons for our 
involvement in all those places. 

     Lets look at those reasons! 

     Centralized and strong governments arise 
because of the perception of unmet needs.  They 
maintain power because they generate new perceptions 
of needs which are unmet or by fueling the 
impressions which lead to war, or both. 

     Take away the perception of unmet needs, and 
strong governments find it increasingly difficult 
to maintain power without becoming even more 
tyrannical. 

     So, is that what we are witnessing? As the 
threat of communist aggression dies, the government 
is trying to find other enemies? Shifting its sights 
to "alternative choices" on a long list of enemies? 
After all, the "War on Middle-Eastern Terrorism" has 
been going on for many years, but only now we are 
being given all the materials to look at. Ten years 
ago, nobody cared if a terrorist exploded a bomb on 
a street of some European city - now, it is Front 
Page material. 

     Any power which merely opposes its own 
destruction or the loss of its territory almost 
never wins the ensuing conflict unless it defines 
its objectives beyond survival or the perpetuation 
of the status quo. 

     And so, the United States government is just 
trying to survive. That is why most of the space 
research is being slowly shut down. New laws 
prohibiting different kinds of fire arms are being 
passed. And the government is attempting to take 
control of all kinds of communication networks 
in the country. 

     There isn't that much money to be saved in 
shutting down NASA. But it effectively strips the 
economy of the need for high-tech, rocket and 
missile job opportunities. We are still being 
allowed to dream (through Science Fiction, computer 
networks, etc.), but we no longer have the means and 
opportunities of making those dreams into realities. 

     As the government takes more control of the 
communications industry, it will slowly and carefully 
start to monitor (at first), and later determine what 
we think and do. 

     As the laws on "bearing fire arms" get increase 
in severity. We will loose the ability to protect 
ourselves. And consequently, the ability to stand up 
to our own government. 

     We are being stripped of our rights as the 
government gets more and more protective, trying to 
remain in power. 

     P.S.  The picture drawn above is a dark one, but 
           it also is factual. True, those dusky clouds 
           of governmental tyranny are not yet evident, 
           but they are there, just over the horizon. 
           And unless things change, by the year 2015 
           most of us will have no dreams, no voice 
           and no power.
