Benevolent Invasion

It's like Karl Marx's dictatorship of the Proletariat. Supposedly a benevolent dictatorship. Isn't that an oxymoron? And, perhaps it starts out with good intentions until Stalin takes over and begins to get paranoid. Purge time.

I'm not sure that anyone with an ego large enough to want the job as head of (any) state can separate his own ambitions and desires from those that should be "for the good of the people". Most "leaders" are really not that. Unfortunately great leaders are usually found "in the heat of battle". Rarely is a worthy chairman, president, CEO born from good times when livin' is easy.

Human history is written in blood. That's all there is to it. I know that's a cliché but it's true. As a former History Major in college it seemed to me that any vital development in the socio-cultural progress of human beings occurred either leading up to, during, or reconstruction after a war. Perhaps that's what organizations like the Free Masons or Skull and Bones have always realized and when they design global events they emphasize the ebb and flow of the human need for a wartime fix? Knowing that...keeps the cats fat.

Maybe our planet needs it's alien version of Captain Kirk and his "benevolent" crew to hold Earth peacefully hostage while they lay out the blueprint plan that their once warlike and violent society followed to reach it's epoch of peace and harmony. Maybe, but there will always be Klingons and Romulans.

Streams from the mountaintop of the proverbial wise man, carrying clean, fresh, ice cold water to the parched throats below. I wish I knew that guy, but every mountain I climb, when I get to the top, there's nothing there? Not even trees. Just snow.

I don't know?
