Conspiracy
If we look at Judges 9:26-41 we find that there is a conspiracy.
Judges (NIV) 9:26 “Now Gaal son of Ebed moved with his clan into Shechem, and its citizens put their confidence in him. 27 After they had gone out into the fields and gathered the grapes and trodden them, they held a festival in the temple of their god. While they were eating and drinking, they cursed Abimelek. 28 Then Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelek (Abimelech), and why should we Shechemites be subject to him? Isn’t he Jerub-Baal’s (Gideon's) son, and isn’t Zebul his deputy? Serve the family of Hamor, Shechem’s father! Why should we serve Abimelek?”
Abimelech isn't just a name; it's a title. The Philistine kings were called “Abimelech” similar to Egyptian kings who were called “Pharaoh”. Abimelech technically means “son of a king”. Actually Gideon, his father, wasn't a king, but was a powerful judge and warrior.
In effect Gaal was saying “Why should we serve the king?” Abimelech was the son of Gideon and became leader on the death of his father. When he became ruler he killed seventy of his brothers on one stone at Ophrah. Gaal conspired against his ruler! “Why should we serve him”?
“Conspire” means to secretly plan together to do wrong. A “conspiracy” is the group carrying out the devious act. Gaal was a conspirator! He rallied the Shechemites against their leader then sought to take over by force. When control exchanges hands it's called a “revolution”. Force is not always needed for change (revolution), but revolution often requires the use of force. With the Shechemites force was used. In our own revolution our patriots were conspirators (traitors to the crown) who created change by force. Our founders used humane rules of war, unlike the Shechemites and Robespierre in the French Revolution, who used bloody violence.
Our founding fathers didn't start the revolution with the intent of war. Ambassadors to the Crown tried unsuccessfully for years to obtain fair treatment for the colonies. Basically, they wanted to be represented in the British Parliament because they paid taxes to the Crown. Hardly an unfair request. Our founding fathers conspired against the British Parliament, not King George III. Parliament was the enemy. However, when force was used King George saw it an affront to his authority and George became the enemy. War broke out. Change occurred through revolution. The winner writes history and the conspirators developed the best form of government the world has ever seen ...a Republic based on the rights of the people.
Our government means that all people have an equal chance. It does not guarantee equal outcome! The outcome depends on the individual. In America any group of people can achieve the “American Dream”. That dream is achieved through capitalism, the economy of freedom, the economy recommended by God. Capitalism's success is dependent on the initiative and drive of our citizens. The Bible speaks often on the desirability and honor of work. Parables are seen which assign the payment system to the overseer. It's just as fair to give the worker late in the game as much as the worker who arrives early. Biblical capitalism is no Pontzi scheme. All have a chance at equal outcome!
Back during the “Cold War' a Polish ship got within a few miles of the California coast. Twenty Polish (Socialist) sailors jumped ship and within ten years three of them were already millionaires. This was the “American Dream” achieved! Whereas socialism stifled them, capitalism allowed them to achieve as much as their goals led them to achieve. That's success. There was nothing illegal nor unethical about their success. They should be heroes, not a scorned people!
Socialism scorns wealth, but needs capitalism for their parasitic programs. Government never creates wealth. Private enterprise creates prosperity. Socialism stifles prosperity and takes successful nations into default. You're brainwashed with the romance of utopian socialism and need only to look around you at the failed economies of your European brothers and what unbridled socialism did to millions in Germany, Russia, China, Cuba, and North Korea. Freedom was stolen and the economies of all became utter failures. Millions have been persecuted and even murdered for opposing socialism.
As I said earlier all conspiracies aren't bloody. Socialism in the USSR (Russia) was overturned by a brave leader facing the armies' approaching tanks. The army retreated and freedom came. Now Putin is in the process of restoring the dictatorial empire by the gradual process of “creeping socialism”. Freedoms have eroded drastically since he and his current puppet president have taken control. They have suppressed the people and the people have cheered their own loss of freedom!
Now to my point: The riots in New York and Boston are an orchestrated conspiracy to defeat capitalism and to make America a Socialist state. Moveon.org and its founder, George Soros, proudly admit their hate for capitalism and have used foolish youngsters as their pawns in this revolution. Those young people are trading their freedom for an empty promise. Socialism promises prosperity, but Keynesian economics has always failed. Supply-side economics is what drives America's success! By the time those youngsters realize their error, it'll be too late. Trickery is being used and Soros' overall plan thus far is in secret. Class warfare is his weapon. Hate is his killer.
The proper way to rectify capitalism's wrongs is not by mob rule, but through the court system and punishment for abuse. The kids don't seem to hate the riches of movie stars, rock musicians and sports figures whose salaries dwarf those of entrepreneurs on Wall Street. They attack only the riches of Wall Street because our economic business center is the symbol of success … a symbol of capitalism. Wall Street is us … the American people! I am part of that. If you have a 401k you're part of that. If you have worked for and had a home you are part of that. If you eat well and have clothing you are part of that. Socialism is an attack on our lifestyle ...it's an attack on you personally!
Pray to God that our eyes are opened. If you read Jeremiah you'll find that he warned the people. I'm not Jeremiah, but consider yourself warned.
