Let me welcome you to my home and also allow me to give you free access within and the full use of all amenities, facilities, and resources within. Eat from MY porridge; relax in MY chair; sleep on MY bed. Enjoy, enjoy and consider all that I have worked to achieve and attain to be as much yours as I am sure that all you do not have and have never tried to achieve or attain is likewise fully mine.

Fair exchange I am told.

Such is the art of the deal.

And when you make any attempt to depart you shall be detained and not allowed to leave. Those guards and rules thought once contrived to keep you out were all except for that. Not set to keep you out but fixed to keep you here, once in.

Welcome to the Hotel California amigo. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

What better way to defend then to pretend to defend. And then don’t. Therefore those who want the defense are satisfied at sight while those who do not are made comfortable by the actual outcomes since the defense was just a feint. But that guard you just walked by as he looked the other way will not present his back to you once you have passed him by. No, he will turn to face you and then work to keep you in. That’s what you wanted in the first place anyhow is it not?

But there is more. When those who actually believed in and wanted the defense realize the full extent of the ruse they too may look to see that guard facing them as well as the soon-permanent guest. (Is he smiling? Is he friendly?) He will not be looking with such a reassuring and calm demeanor but rather with a glare and a gun.

You may not express a position in regard to who has been allowed into your house. You will simply allow them to abide as dictated. You must give way and allow full access for they are there for a reason and that reason is of no concern to you. It’s not really your house- you didn’t build it. You and your home are but a host for the parasite.

A parasite to you but a symbiotic partner to those who have thus allowed and so dictated.

Symbiotic for now, at least until the need for them and their presence is no longer.

By then though you will have abandoned your own abode and fled none know not where to; heard and seen no more. Your home will crumble and with it will go its newest inhabitants. No one will care then where they go but they will go nonetheless- naked and alone.

So goes the need, so goes the home, so goes the country and so go you and I.

But as they say, he who turns against one shall in turn be turned against so…it will also one day not far from this one come for you as well.
