Hello!
So, interviews. As I have afore mentioned, my father is acting as my mentor. His mentorship is, as are many other aspects of this project, not limited to the assigment. For as long as I can remember, I have been sitting in his office chair, asking questions, learning, bringing my little girl life problems to the Council of Elrond *ahem* I mean, the wisdom of my dad... Point is, he has always been there for me. He is a business owner, and works from home desigining houses and doing 3-D floor plan renderings. During the days, he listens to conservative radio talk shows, such as the Glenn Beck Program and Rush Limbaugh. This is a custom he has kept up for years. It is, however, not his job, but his moral code, his phililosophers mind, and his fatherly guidance that had complely shifted my own heart to desire truth and peace. Father of five, an avid reader, follower of politics, author and philosopher, let me introduce my father and mentor: William.
(Note: my questions are in bolded text. Each question will hold an explanation at the bottom of the page.)
What are your thoughts on the government forcing vaccines on children?*
I don’t think it is the states right to
force anybody to take vaccines.
What are your thoughts on federal government within state government? Do you think they should become one and the same?**
No. I think that would violate the constitution
quite badly.
How so?
The Constitution was written giving
certain limited powers to the federal government, and it says that any other
rights and powers not specifically mentioned, are reserved for the states. And
most of what the federal government is outside the bounds of constitution, but
certainly local law enforcement and child protection services, and things like
that, should be local. Education should be local. Local things work better,
because you can reach out and touch, or call, your local representatives. But
you can’t get in touch with people in Washington.
What do you think you think is progressing with government growth and implementation?***
(Greedy and power hungry people are
trampling the rights of citizens?) What I think we have is we have developed a
two classed system, really and oligarchy, where we have the ruling class of
people and the lower class of people, the ruled the sheep. And the ruling class
just grows and grows and their job, their desire is to protect themselves and
their friends, and that’s what they do, And because they are the ruling class
they have the power to do so. That is what is going on there.
Would the sheep be… simply anyone with a midlevel income?
I don’t mean sheep. It isn’t a matter
of income, the ruling class of income are the people who think.. in the
reality, the way the government was supposed to work, the average person is supposed
to have the power, because they have the votes. They vote, and that is what
empowers the politicians. But, we have kind of gotten away from that, because
even though people can vote, they are manipulated by poor education, they are
manipulated by media that is biased, they are lulled to sleep with comforts and
with government welfare and all sorts of things. And it is done on purpose by
this ruling class of… not just politicians, but lobbyists and lawyers and so on
and so forth.
What do you think needs to change for the people to wake up and respond to… or see even, what is going on in the world?****
I honestly think that the only thing
that can save our country is a real revival. Politically speaking, there are
things that could happen with better leadership. If we had better leadership
from Washington, things could get better but, it is hard to see how lasting and
significant change could happen until people get woken up on a spiritual level,
so they really begin to value truth instead of comfort. You know? There is a
thing that I say, it is in my book but… You can trade your peace for pleasure,
but in the end, you will end up with neither one. What we are doing, as a
country, we are more interested in Kim Kardashian than we are interested in the
NSA spying on us, or the militarization of our police force, because we are
fixated on what makes us feel good. But, it is not going to make us feel good
for very long. So, that kind of problem, that entitled mindset, is only fixed…
really when someone encounters God.
* As of late, the Californian government is attempting to pass a bill that would make it mandatory for al school-attending children to receive 25 vaccinations by August, 2015, without ability to opt out due to religious or ethical reasons. These vaccinations are known to weaken the immune system, and severely affect mental stability and functioning. They are traced back as the cause of many cases of autism : link
** The federal government has recently been making its presence severely known in the responses of "state" authorities. Military like responses, Homeland Security taking authority over simple local affairs, etc. source: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/08/20/outcry-after-military-veteran-detained-for-anti-government-facebook-posts/
*** With the growth of government, which includes spying from the NSA and giant cover-up schemes, I was wanting to share my father's opinion on the state of government.
**** No one seems to see what is happening in our Nation. People seem to be so blind to the destruction of their freedom. I want so deeply to see people live with liberty, mercy and justice.
