Libya On The Edge

Elitist thugs everywhere are under threat.  Just as we said when this Middle East uprising started, courage begets courage.   And that is exactly what is happening throughout the Middle East.  People living in fear-based societies now realize tyranny is only possible if the mind allows it.  Fear is a manifestation of a false reality created in our mind: 

The crumbling of fear has been the binding factor in protests happening from Algeria to Iran.  “People speak of not being afraid anymore,” says Mr. Matar, whose own father, a Libyan dissident, was kidnapped by the Egyptian authorities in Cairo in 1990 and spirited to a secret prison in Libya, with little news of his fate since.

Without the fear-based terrorism by the state, (also a favorite in Washington politics) there is no ability to maintain tyranny.  Those who have been stripped of dignity and freedom eventually realize fear is the only thing keeping them from changing the world for the better.    What is this unknown energy that feeds upon itself and emboldens people to do great things?   What we are witnessing truly is great.  Maybe not for European or American politicians that were benefiting from corruption in Libya and other Middle Eastern states, but for those seeking truth and moral clarity, it is indeed great.
