This article is about our world, specifically the planet Earth.  It is also about where we could be heading, given current enemy strategies.  

Amazingly, good people like us are winning.  Those who live in despotism are, in effect, living according to how well they are being led or fed.  In this regard, WWII soldiers, after the Nazis surrendered, commented that household refrigerators were full and houses were neatly cleaned with respectable furniture.  The point here is that those who manage the economy, the despots, took care of the common people.  They had to because they were the only ones there to administer to their population.  This only proved that when certain people decide that they want to set up a dictatorship, they still have to take care of the common folk.  Therefore, the responsibility of despots extends to the common folk.  In effect, the responsibilities of despots include the care and maintenance of the population.  This also shows why there have not been many disruptions in societies to set up more dictatorships.  It is also more economical to set up self-activated/monitoring by Democracies.  However, it also demonstrates why existing Dictatorships are active in the process of capturing other populations, which can help share the financial burdens.  However, it also reveals that expenses are a concern.

For example, note the strategic differences between China and Russia in their respective actions.  China is in the process of capturing additional real estate in South China Seas to assist in ameliorating the cost of paying the overhead.  Population growth is the key factor for growth.  China is experiencing a population decline, while Russia is in a state of stability.  Again, despotism is an expensive process.  And the world’s representative democracies have the advantage of sharing growth costs with the citizenry.  One might wonder why those countries would not simply switch to representative democracy instead of despotism.  Good question. 

The bottom line is that they prefer to be in control, and thus, they get to write the rules.  However, we believe that our God created the universe, which in turn led to the development of democracies that partner with the citizenry to assist in growing the population.  But more importantly, most of the democracies believe in our Sovereign God.

To sum up, in ancient times, a King or Queen was in control and also set down the rules, a tradition that has persisted to modern times when rulers began to include the people in controlling their destiny. 

The fact remains that God and Jesus created the Bible specifically for those purposes of care and maintenance of their created world, and this is the challenge for the world’s despots who must shoulder all the growth costs.

And, of course, the challenge for free countries is to monitor the growth challenges of the despots to ensure that these countries do not infringe upon the real estate of the free and open countries.

For example, Russia and China are forced to impinge upon other countries to help them pay the bills for their preferred despotic government.   There is evidence that the Chinese strategy, around the other side of the globe in Nicaragua, was chosen to begin their choice of putting the pressure from the south to ultimately put pressure on the USA from the south as the Russians who have already started their path from the north to put the opposite pressure on the USA from the Arctic through Canada.

Therefore, the global strategies of Russia and China, respectively, originate from the north and south, aiming to garner additional support from countries along the way.

Wars are not cheap, especially for despots who must involve the entire population, as opposed to democratically elected governments, which include all the population that is part of the electorate.

I have traveled around America, through Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico, from British Columbia to Newfoundland, as well as to Iceland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, England, and France.  Most of my conversations were about how someone can get to the US without “breaking the bank.”  Many who have visited the US often want to return, and many have purchased a residence here.

For those who plan to visit, this is an opportunity for peace-loving individuals, such as Americans, to discuss peace and prosperity.

My next article will begin my discussion about the truth of America and how to convey the truth about life in America to those who are unfamiliar with it.
