The haves and have nots
What is it?
What is Aristocracy?
Well, it starts with a king and all his relatives, titled gentry and landed lords and the knights who serve them. They rule over the serfs. Basically workers, who are treated as property.
I would tell you to look at Old Europe. But, royalty and aristocracy exists all over the world.
Basically, it’s a group of humans who claimed to be children of the gods, and used money and force of arms to gain positions of power and keep them. They believe they are better than others, and treat them as such.
Now, in America we are not allowed to have titles. America is supposed to be free and not controlled by royals.
But, the attitude and power rests in business, land owners and government just the same.
Captains of industry and robber barons. Plantation owners and generational wealth. Controlling the workers like serfs.
When you see movies set back in early American history. Movies like the Titanic. You can see the difference between aristocrats and serfs, in America.
There might not be titles, but the same attitude and control exists. They may not be able to execute you, but they can have you fired, evicted or jailed with a word or false accusation.
They control government and get laws passed that protect them while keeping you down. They own businesses that control your life, circumvent Constitutional protections, and keep you as working poor.
They are landlords who treat you like liars and thieves, forcing you to sign massive leases that protect them, while doing nothing for you. They charge exorbitant rent for dumps, they wouldn’t let their dogs live in.
You grew up with them in your government schools. The people who bullied you, and whose parents ran the place.
They are the folks you have to answer to. Some call it “White Privilege” but it has nothing to do with race. There are plenty of working class poor whites as well.
This aristocracy has ruled the world for thousands of years, and oppressed anyone who did not measure up or bend the knee.
They have their philosophies, and fake religions. All of which only applies to you and me. Work harder. Pull yourself up by your boot straps. God is watching. Pharisees in control. Karens who think they rule.
Every nation. Not just America. But everywhere in history, they exist and represent the princes of darkness behind the scenes. Those demons who rule the world, and use the royals and aristocrats to oppress.
Every people group have the royals and those who are above the laws that beat you and me down.
They have friends in high places getting them the best jobs, while telling us its all about hard work. Constantly raising the bar to make us obey.
If hard work made people rich, there would be no slaves.
These are the folks who control the money. They have people sitting on councils running the show while you wait for a permit. They call the senator who was at dinner last week and get things done. While you and I wait for justice.
Once you see it.
You cannot unsee it.
We live lives of struggle while they live in luxury and do nothing to fix it, because they love money more than God and people.
They might have to sit on a bus with us, if they changed anything.
So nothing changes.

The Coming Persecution
A Look at Matthew 24 “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive…
How Are We Tempted?
It’s important to understand. In order to resist temptation, we must understand what is going on. If we miss an aspect of it, we cannot really resist it. We just shift it around or suffer through. “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with…
How Do I Turn To God?
What does that look like? It’s so simple anyone can do it. That is how God designed it. I’m going to avoid magical theological words and just give it straight. As we go through life things happen to us. Good things and bad. We have excitement over good things. We celebrate victories and enjoy time…
