Interesting blog I ran across while reading more about the tree that was the start of this thread.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')eanwhile, behaviors and actions that would have been considered wrong, shameful, or evil just 50 years ago are now being venerated and lauded. And of course, this is all done in the name of (cough) "diversity" and "tolerance."
The dead canary in the mine was such a small thing, really. It's only a canary, right? But it was an indicator of something much bigger, something potentially lethal or explosive. And right now we are surrounded by dead canaries.
Every day the head of the Fed stands in front of a microphone and lies to us. So does our president. So do the members of Congress. So do the talking heads in the mainstream media. We have riots going on in England and France and Greece and Ireland. Government employees are required to take naked photos of children and grope nuns before permitting them to travel. Black Friday shoppers stampede and threaten and hurt others over cheap televisions and laptops. The list of appalling acts is endless. How many dead canaries can we count? Hundreds, perhaps thousands.
What astounds me is how blind people are to these symbols of an imminent explosion. Every day, people wade through dozens of dead canaries, stepping over them or kicking them out of the way or just denying that they exist at all. There is almost a universal refusal to accept what a dead canary – or a dead thorn tree – signifies.
Remember, the last time this thorn tree was chopped down was nearly 400 years ago during a time of tremendous societal upheaval in England, a time of war, death and destruction. And now the thorn tree is cut down again. Is it only my husband and me who can see the dead canaries littering the ground at its base? Are we on the verge of a similarly devastating religious, economic or political upheaval?
