Don’t shoot the messenger bringing you bad news

 Historical indications exist to the effect that superstition was rampant in ancient times — even in more modern times — to the effect that the landlords and rulers of powerful jurisdictions, believed in the myth that the messenger they send to observe a situation and report, shaped the reality on the ground to such an extent, he could turn an anticipated victory for the one that sent him, into a disaster instead. And so, the latter killed the messenger, and looked for another dodo to replace the dead one.

 

It was also a reality at the time that, lacking the medical and scientific knowledge of today, life expectancy was “short and brutish” even for the rich and powerful. The result is that many of them died before they could transfer ownership of their jurisdiction to offspring that had matured enough and was capable enough to handle matters of state.

 

The remedy for such a situation at the time, was to appoint a regent who ran the affairs of the jurisdiction, waiting for the offspring to grow enough and mature enough that he/she demonstrated the ability to assume the duties of a full-fledged ruler. Much drama and palace intrigues were generated in this kind of environment among the immediate siblings and those of the extended family, each vowing to position the self for taking over the jurisdiction and run it. The outcome of the brawl was usually chaotic.

 

That sort of situation gradually became rarer with the passage of time. It was replaced by elaborate systems that were more sophisticated, that relied less on the will of individual rulers, and that depended more on the collective wisdom of institutions. Thus, the transfer of power from one individual to another, and from one group to anther, now takes place in a more orderly and quieter setting.

 

But human beings have not changed since ancient times. What motivated them then, motivates them now. It is that the desire of the powerful parents, remains to bequeath the jurisdiction they control to their offspring. And the desire of the offspring, is to walk in their parents’ shoes as well as sleep in their “royal” bed. The question, therefore, is this: What might flow out of this new situation? Well, there is a case we can study; one that’s suited to yield the answers we seek.

 

It is the real story of the Trudeau family whose patriarch Pierre Elliot started a trend by governing the country of Canada in the capacity of Prime Minister, during the decade of the 1960s. Six decades later, it was thought that his son Justin Trudeau was mature enough and wise enough to assume the duties of Prime Minister, and was installed as such. He governed, and the result of his work proved to be nothing but a series of unmitigated disasters.

 

Demonstrably incapable of taking a decision on important matters, morally stunted Justin Trudeau freezes when he encounters issues that require a mental acuity surpassing his own. His automatic response is to turn to those who appointed themselves his guardians, and seeks from them instructions on what to do.

 

Unsurprisingly, their responses have always been to maintain him in his frozen state so as to keep him dependent on them in the same way that the juveniles of old, used to rely on their regents. In addition, the advice they give him are always made to serve their causes rather than those of Canada.

 

Bombarded with criticism that started to be thrown at him from every direction, Justine Trudeau began to lash out at the media. It is that he has been reduced to mimicking the mentality of rulers that used to shoot the messengers who brought them bad news.

 

In the end, it can be seen that the Trudeau family was instrumental in helping contemporary Jews turn Canada into a fiefdom modeled after the ancient attempts of Jews to build a primitive kind of society.

 

The Jews did it this time by appointing themselves undisputed regents of Canada, and by turning the palace intrigues they used to play in the past, into a frivolous game they now call the Game of Democracy.

 

That is the domain where nothing useful happens except for what serves to perpetuate a situation that should never have been.
