Have you ever wondered how and why the Youth of today are holding rallies , their loud voices proclaiming all sorts of alarming predictions for the future. Using a young girl like Greta to speak with fire and brimstone about the end of the world. Pretending that young kindergarten children have important things to say about what they think the future holds. Even using "old white men " who should know better to say the end is nigh! People who are easily conned into believing things that all the Scientists are telling us is untrue.
I had finished my books from the library , and was reading an old Agatha Christie novel, "Passenger to Frankfurt" published in 1970 when I came upon a very interesting paragraph. It was a conversation with some ex Military gentlemen voicing concerns about the future.
"Youth is what you might call the spearhead of it all. But that's not really what is so worrying. They - whoever they are - work through youth. Youth in every country. Youth urged on. Youth chanting slogans , slogans that sound exciting, though they don't always know what they mean. So easy to start a revolution. That's natural to youth. All youth has always rebelled. You rebel, you pull down, you want the world to be different from what it is. But you're blind too. There are bandages over the eyes of youth . They can't see where things are taking them. What's going to come next? What's in front of them? And who it is behind them, urging them on? That's what's frightening about it. You know, someone holding out the carrot to get the donkey to come along and at the same time there is someone behind the donkey urging it on with a stick".
Isn't that saying something, written all those years ago and so spot on when dealing with the antics of youth today.
What is a more enjoyable sight than to see on enrolment day the young 5 year old holding Mum or Dad's hand , the excitement , starting school , joining the big kids. Such a shame to think that their innocent lives are to be filled with propaganda fed to them by some "leftie lovie" that frightens them into wondering what their future holds. What can we do to stop this Hitler Youth type indoctrination.
I had a friend many years ago who used to say “ wouldn’t it be nice… “ and then say something quite lovely.
Wouldn’t it be nice…
If only we could turn the clock back and have all our young ones enjoying life, playing their favourite sport , having fun at school instead of only the fortunate few not troubled by the lies that are being told them. We do not need our kids told that they can change their gender at the drop of a hat and have their lives changed permanently. We do not need them to be told that the world is coming to an end so what is the point of learning .
We need some positive and encouraging teaching , examples of the good things that make life worth living.
Wouldn’t it be nice?
Instead, we have our grandchildren and great grandchildren being urged on and being told to :
chant slogans , slogans that sound exciting, though they don't always know what they mean. So easy to start a revolution. That's natural to youth.
All youth has always rebelled.
They are told to rebel, to pull us down, and they want the world to be different from what it is.
But they’re blind too. There are bandages over the eyes.
They can't see where things are taking them.
What's going to come next? What's in front of them? And who it is behind them, urging them on? That's what's frightening about it.
You know, someone holding out the carrot to get the donkey to come along and at the same time there is someone behind the donkey urging it on with a stick".
Now, that is not nice.
