One of the hardest things I have ever had to learn in this political world is to trust nothing. It is truly the hardest thing most good people will do. We are honest, so we expect others are honest too. We are taught from a young age … or maybe it is just genetic for most of us … that we should trust our elders, superiors, teachers, religious leaders, doctors, lawyers, judges, etc. … and we are also taught to trust our elected officials. But unfortunately, in today’s world, trusting these people (or really anyone beyond your closest confidants) is the LAST thing you should do.
Trusting nothing is a horrible way to have to live. I dislike living this way. I miss the days when I knew nothing about politics … and nothing about the bigger financial manipulation that makes us all pawns of the global elite.
I also have some guilt about having to teach others to trust nothing. I know that once they “see it”, most won’t be able to unsee it. And I know when they “see it” … they will be faced with a personal test … to go along to get along, or to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT. The fighters of course we love and welcome … but my guilt stems from the knowledge that I’ve forced some people to realize they are the “go along to get along” types … I’ve forced them to realize they are cowards.
We are challenging people right now … about the litmus test of School Choice. We are years into this fight for children … we have been right the entire time … and we have the data now to prove it. We shared with you the November 21st letter (HERE) to Lt. Governor Pamela Evette showing the kids / families at HOPE ACADEMY received $600k in 2015 … and only $65,600 last year. On Sunday I shared with Rep. April Cromer (R – Anderson) that her district school, ANDERSON CHRISTIAN SCHOOL received $200k in 2015 (1/2 scholarships – they were owed $400k) … and only $16,000 last year. Yes, only $16,000!!!
What will these two moms do? How can any mom look away? I have given them a test that will force them to decide between going along to get along (for the benefit of their own political careers) … or to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT (for the benefit of the kids). I’ve challenged them to be heroes for these families … but I fear they will deflect and blame “Jeff Davis” as some bad guy. Stay tuned …
Families get funding … or not. Taxpayers save money … or not. It really is that simple. Which will these moms choose, now that I have shown them the needless damage these children with special needs have endured?
Yes, I have a little guilt giving anyone this “test” … but We The People need to know “who” they are … “who” all of our elected officials and people with political influence are deep down. I know folks that personally like these two elected officials … Rep. Cromer & Lt. Gov. Evette … so they too will be faced with the reality of Rep. Cromer & the Lt. Governor. Will these moms be Service or Self?
We won’t make any progress until the people about Self are replaced with people about Service.
It is not hard … but it starts with US understanding we must “learn to trust nothing” and to “verify everything”.
Again, stay tuned …
