Post Integrity
Do we need more integrity to solve our crushing problems?

This well-written analysis argues that we do.

However, I find some fault with the argument.

Integrity is defined as behaving with a "steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code". Perhaps the more relevant question is which moral or ethical code? A steadfast adherence to a bad moral or ethical code would not be desirable. Hitler, Mussolini, Kissinger, and Bush all demonstrated "integrity" by their steadfast adherence to a poor moral and ethical code. All of the most successful criminals do the same.

Still, the article I linked to above is well worth reading. Here are some quotes from it:

Quote:
When evaluating honestly the purpose of U.S Government today, we see the original intent of governance of by and for the people has been replaced by a U.S. Government that protects and preserves its own self-interests. As such, this self-serving mode of operation increasingly trickles down, copied by the people it governs.

Quote:
I have to say, I think that we are in some kind of final examination as to whether human beings now, with this capability to acquire information and to communicate, whether we're really qualified to take on the responsibility we're designed to be entrusted with. And this is not a matter of an examination of the types of governments, nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with economic systems. It has to do with the individual. Does the individual have the courage to really go along with the truth? -- Buckminster Fuller, Integrity Day, 1983

Integrity is extremely important, but it is a handicap without the correct ethics and morals to define it. The sociopaths that lead us are convinced they have integrity, but their ethics and morals are awful. Lacking empathy, they cannot fathom the principle behind the Golden Rule, and thus cannot behave in a moral or ethical manner. We recognize their integrity but mistakenly use it to excuse their lack of morals and ethics, both deficient because of their lack of empathy. For that error, we are led into the valley of the shadow of death, and we fear no evil, for the evil is leading us, and we willingly follow.

...personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity.

And the ruling sociopaths do every thing in their considerable power to keep it that way.

Sociopaths succeed by deceiving and manipulating good people to not focus on personal integrity. Think of the money you'll make. Think of the power you will have. Think of the offices you can occupy. Think of the perks you can have, the women, and the lifestyle. Think of the retirement you can have. Those are the carrots. Once you are lured in, they can also use the stick. Those that suddenly rediscover how important personal integrity really is often get whacked with the big club.

As Ronald Bernard was told, if you want to work for the ruling sociopaths, you have to put your conscience in the freezer. That's the equivalent of being told that you must abandon all personal integrity.

To serve the forces of evil, integrity is a deal-breaker.

Our leaders have no integrity. Think Biden, Pelosi, Trump, Obama, Clinton, Bush, Cheney, and almost any other leader in this cursed country. They are sociopaths, so of course they have no integrity, even as they pretend that they are paragons of integrity. Or I could say they have no integrity, so of course they are sociopaths, even as they pretend that they are paragons of humanity. Whether I say A=B or B=A, the meaning is the same. These are not leaders, they are parasites. They feed on us, our country, and our national treasure. They feed on our trust and gullibility. They feed on our life force, and they are sustained by it, to our great detriment. They are parasites in the same way that con-artists are, and they are con-artists in the same way that parasites are. Whether I say A=B or B=A, the meaning is the same.

Seeing the picture of Michael and wondering if he really is Michelle Obama brings the issue of integrity into sharp focus. The Obamas, and the ruling sociopaths who handle them, and the office of the presidency of the United States of America — they all have no integrity. As a result, our entire nation has no integrity. It has been this way for generations, probably since 1776. And yet all this time, generation after generation has been taught what great integrity our leaders have, and what great integrity our nation has. Obviously, our system of education has no integrity either, nor does our media. The COVID psy-op has shown us clearly that our medical system has no integrity, nor does our justice system. Name one system in this country where integrity is alive and well. If you can, chances are very high that you are among the deceived.

In a nutshell, we live in a world of deception run by sociopaths. As long as we remain deceived, we find everything to be perfectly normal. But things are completely abnormal precisely because we are deceived. So whether I say A=B or B=A, the meaning is the same.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
