Back in 1904, HG Wells wrote a short story about a man who stumbled into a forgotten kingdom where everyone was blind. He thought that would give him incredible power because he possessed something that they did not. The ability to see.
He soon learned that his gift of sight was seen by the villagers as an affliction of the brain that must be caused by two things on his head that he called eyes. They pitied him and, instead of being a gift, the eyes were perceived as a curse, an illness and a disturbance of his brain.
It did not take long before the man realised that, when surrounded by the blindness of ignorance, knowledge itself was an enemy to be ousted and eradicated.
How many of us today feel as though we have stumbled into a land of the blind and our ability to see is regarded as an evil affliction to be stamped and cut out?
HG Wells, author of such incredible works as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds and The Island of Dr Moreau, is described as a Socialist yet I often find myself wondering if he was more an ideologist than a Socialist? No matter what, his work was prophetic and he was a visionary.
His short story “ In the Land of the Blind the One eyed Man is King “ has been on my mind for some time now. Like George Orwell’s “ 1984 “ and “ Animal Farm “ , CK Stead’s “ Smith’s Dream “ and the works of John Wyndham – “ The Day of the Triffids “ and The “ Chrysalids “ - all dealing with a future dwelling in the imaginings of people who lived 70 years or more ago.
Even CS Lewis had some words to say:
But, despite ( or in spite of ) the prophetic horror of the Big Brother Communist and or dictatorial regimes portrayed in these novels, HG Wells story stands out the most.
Because it speaks of the general populace who are blinded by acceptance of what they are taught and have become to believe as true.
THIS is the true worry: the fact that WE are now being seen as oddities in a world that WE see is insane.
I got an email from Redhead:
Last evening, while Redhead took a walk she met with a younger fellow ( about 40 ) who was laughing and rabbiting on about how Trump’s Rally was a washout. He was mocking her for supporting President Trump and found it amusing that the Rally was disrupted by rioters, protestors, thugs and idiotic left wing supporters of Socialism – and how they had reduced the numbers at the Rally because of their “ intervention. “
Imagine what it would have been? Could have been without their eye gouging protests? Over 5 million watched on live streaming.
Redhead responded by saying that she was entitled to her views but that she never mocked him for his...
Not a word about the 5 million who watched from the safety of their homes. Fear.
When the thousands were blocked from attending because these bastards frightened people? Not a word.
Yet this is not interfering with a Presidential campaign? Surely this is wrong?
a
It made me wonder.
Are we too polite? Is it time for us to come out and, as they say on “ The Voice “ have a Battle of the Blinds “ ?
Because the left wing crazies are getting away with far too much. Our courtesy and our respectful treatment of others is coming back to bite us on the bum.
I am not advocating violence but this bullshit of turning the other cheek has to stop before we become the minority and the looneys not only take over the asylum but turn our world into a world of the insane ruling and the sane are locked up.
The Land of the Blind is winning and we, the people Blessed with sight and insight, are becoming the people perceived as insane.
They will cut out our metaphoric eyes if we are not careful and diligent.
In the coming months, the Left will seek to blind us; they will seek to cut out our eyes and they will seek to turn us in to blind followers of a flawed system where the Media is censored; social media is censored and our views condemned, mocked and ridiculed.
Their weapon?
FEAR.
Too frightened to leave our houses, attend a Rally, go and walk the dog or do anything that could inflame the Left wing crazies who see us as the enemy because we have two eyes, a functioning brain and a heart and soul full of love and patriotism.
If we are not careful, we will live in the Land of the Blind where the One Eyed Man is King – that of Xi Jinping ably supported by his cohort George Soros.
If you do not want your eyes removed, your voice silenced and your ears turned into receivers of filtered white noise, please, please, vote Trump .
Because we have stumbled into a valley of no return.
Only courage of conviction can save us.
