Officer Shootings In Washington State

Over the past 2 months there have been 6 police officers shot and killed in the line of duty in Western Washington. Like many I've wept at the news, and been shocked when I heard that it had happened again. Earlier today a major chunk of I-5 was shut down as the body of the 6th officer, Kent Mundell, was moved from Seattle to Tacoma. Plans are underway for yet another funeral at the Tacoma Dome.

Deaths like this have happened in the past, but nothing like what has been seen recently. Clearly something has changed. In this blog post I want to suggest a reason for what has changed that has "triggered" these terrible headlines. That "sacred protection" for this most sacred profession has been lost. Local sacred protection has been lost because of loss of sacred honor at the national level. I also suggest a simple way that this problem can be addressed.

The Little Things

Many years ago I sat through a series of classes on how to manage employees. My employer insisted on these classes for all young managers, and at age 24 I was run through these classes in order to understand how management "works."

One section I still remember many, many years later, was a lesson on how to tell if there was a "problem" in an employee's life. The give-away was small problems that could never seem to get fixed. Chronic problems with desks, chairs, lighting, food in the cafeteria... the little things, were a sign that there as a big thing that was really causing the problem. No amount of fiddling with the lights, or chair, or desk, or cafeteria menu would fix the problem because these were not the true problem.

Something about the way human beings are wired causes this pattern. A big problem manifests as unsolvable small problems. When the big problem is identified and fixed, these types of small problems simply go away.

If this makes no sense, think about it in the reverse. If someone is happy at their work, they won't notice the lights, the squeeky chair the clunk in the desk or the food at lunch. Their focus is on better, more interesting things.

As I watch these headlines about officers shot and killed in the line of duty, I think the same pattern is playing out at a much larger scale, a scale matched to the prophetic headlines operating at the top of the government in Washington DC. The average law enforcement officer may not know it, but they are the local, visible, manifestation of what goes on in Congress.

Our local law enforcement officers are attracting an odd form of wrath. It is happening at the local level while the root is actually a much bigger problem. Let me explain.

The Plagues

With the collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis the Unite States entered a season of national plagues. The dates, the stories, really the entire schedule was given 3500 years ago when Moses wrote the Book of Exodus. The 3500th anniversaries of the original plagues pattern a modern, much more technical, replay of the ancient stories.

The religious and political system of ancient Egypt is mostly unknown, but after watching years of the Exodus Plagues replay as modern headlines the net is pretty clear. Ancient Egypt had a system of slavery based in a corrupt financial system, with a central government unable or unwilling to stand up to the corrupt bankers that had enslaved basically everyone.

That system has been active again in modern history. Every time a Wall Street banker, or his agents in mortgage companies across the country, issues a new mortgage another family is enslaved. Every time a bank issues a credit card, they enslave another family. Every time a school loan is issued, they enslave another unsuspecting future parent or family. Since the system is based on money created out of thin air, those bankers can basically buy up anyone or anything their hearts desire. For the cost of slavery, they offer the same to anyone who would borrow from them.

The natural point where a stop should be put to this is in the US Congress. Over 500 people, elected from across the country, are called as a sacred duty to write the laws and administer the government that is supposed to protect the public from being enslaved. They are supposed, most fundamentally, to protect the people from crooks.

Instead of stopping these private slave holders from increasing their reach, the US Congress, and the President, are doing everything they can to enslave even more. They have abrogated their sacred duty, and the public knows it.

How People React

The plagues have changed the way Americans view their government. It has become clear to a new generation of voters that the people elected to represent them in the halls of Congress are not listening to the voters. Their Representatives and Senators are not stepping up to the sacred duty that is government service.

For most Americans, the response to the circus in Washington DC is a general disgust. Many have given up even paying attention, and worry themselves with mundane things, like taking their kids to soccer practice. For others it triggers discussions of how to vote in the next elections, calls to local radio shows, and a wonderment at what is happening to the country.

For some, though, the problem is different. If the normal struggles of life cannot be dealt with, if life's problems have become so severe that Law Enforcement is already active, then these problems at the top of the government impact how people act at the bottom.

Local law enforcement, men and women working for living like everyone else, are no longer seen as carrying out a sacred duty. They are now being viewed as agents of this same crooked system, who must also have abrogated their sacred duty. If the guys at the top no longer take government service as a sacred honor, then by extension the guys at the bottom must not be either. This is fundamentally why the local level folks have lost their sacred protection.

Of course if you watch the funerals, the ceremony, the outpouring of support, you know that most local law enforcement officials clearly do take government service as an honor, as a sacred duty. But, as long as the top does not do so, then the men and women at the bottom will continue to miss their sacred protection.

How Long?

The time-lines suggest there is still a way to go. Potentially several more years will pass before the plague on first-born is over.

Health Care has only just begun. The Health Care changes are another way that private bankers, called health insurance companies, will get to enslave another 30 million people who have so far remained outside of their grasp. The Egyptian, slave-making mentality still lives and reigns in the hearts and minds of the people running the government. It is not going away willingly. Just as in ancient Egypt, God has hardened their hearts in order to eventually carry out a great deliverance, to break slavery off God's people.

Eventually this system will break. The treasury won't find willing buyers for government bonds. Interest rates will rise. The currency will collapse. The sea will drown Pharaoh. The plagues will be over. The American Congress and President will come out of their rebellion from the sacred.

What To Do?

Until Congress starts respecting their sacred duties, these funerals should fly only state flags, not national flags. Why? Because local law enforcement still takes their jobs and duties as the sacred honor which they are, even if Congress does not.

When Congress steps up to its sacred duty, then the US Flag can fly again and sacred protection will return again to local law enforcement. We won't have to be constantly weeping over more loss of life in the ranks of those called to government service.
