Pakistan’s authorities appear to have found a solution to at least one of their problems in the international arena: Aasiya Noreen — or “Asia Bibi” — a 50-year-old Christian woman and mother of five, who has been on death row for six years for allegedly insulting Muhammad.
Instead of executing Asia Bibi and further advertising to the international community that theirs is a savage and backwards nation — and instead of releasing her and provoking millions of angry Muslims to turn on the government and accuse it of supporting “apostasy” — Pakistan’s authorities appear to be letting time, wretched conditions, severe maltreatment, and beatings slowly kill her.
So the government will kill this woman with a mixture of starvation, disease, and environmental conditions, rather than choose to kill her quickly or release her. Notice, the Islamists are winning here on one side, for one reason. If they don’t get what they want, they threaten to do violence. On the other side, the west threatens consequences too, provoking inaction. That is a clear sign of rabbits at the top, lacking any principle (amygdala moral pathways) and with no real desire to do anything due to wealth-induced apathy.
Presently, nobody in America, at the top or bottom is capable of threatening violence, and that is why the rabbits are running wild here as well. The right is too comfortable and deadened to the decline to rise up and take action. If conditions deteriorate though, that will change.
The threat doesn’t even have to be real, it can merely be perceived. In America, during the Bush recount, all it took were some young kids in loafers and ties chanting aggressively, and frightened rabbits immediately ceded to all of their demands.
The demonstration was organized by Republican operatives, sometimes referred to as the “Brooks Brothers Brigade”, to oppose the recount of 10,750 ballots during the Florida recount. The canvassers decided to move the counting process to a smaller room and restrict media access to 25 feet away while they continued…
Within two hours after the riot died down, the canvassing board unanimously voted to shut down the count, in part due to perceptions that the process wasn’t open or fair, and in part because the court-mandated deadline was impossible to meet…
“People were pounding on the doors, but they had an absolute right to get in.”
Basically the election board said they were going to move the recount behind closed doors where God knows what could have happened, the young bucks stood outside chanting and hitting the closed door, and the election board immediately capitulated. Rabbits only rabbit if their enemies are apathetic.
America will be fine, but for it to be saved the good are going to have to enter a state of heightened agitation, where at the very least those who would oppose good will believe that pursuing their evil path could have violent repercussions.
Absent that threat, evil will run free. Fortunately for us, we have an apocalypse scheduled, not that far from now.
Apocalypse cometh.
