A Commentary

I consider the idea of genocide. The removal of all and anything affiliated with a person or people.

I consider it not in the perspective of "committing" it, but from the idea of actually being a victim of it.

To actually face and consider the possibility of such happening to one self.

The possibility is there in our modern day. Especially even heightened with modern access to information and communications. It is really no big hassle to find out very private things about any individual these days. This more so if it is that a person happens to know someone with access to "official" data bases.

What that means, beyond all of the name listing and club organizations, is that with the push of a button, just about anyone can be singled out to a degree. Which then makes it all the more easy to focus other more physical aspects resulting from the access to such information.

When you think about it, why would it be difficult to find and remove just about anyone and their entire familial line from existence - provided of course the means were present to do so?

It is one thing to know simply from common sense, that any "official list" and club organization membership that is a part of any persons life, is a means through which to identify and locate any individual and large groups of people in our modern day.

It is then another to consider the aspect of that information being used for other purposes... if even as a hypothetical thought... perhaps even genocide for what ever reasons - being political or even just sport when you think about it.

Think about it. Would anyone know if someone were already doing such?

Not if they were doing it right. Everyone affiliated with whom so ever the target was, would be silenced.. and probably with an efficiency that has yet to be publicly acknowledged in our modern society.

Now think about that person being you.

Not for the purpose of some conspiracy rant crap... but for the pure appreciation of, if even momentarily, being a total and helpless victim in what is supposed to be the "big macho," A-number one free country on the planet.

It is to speak of tragedy, I know. But what would it be like to experience such levels of tragedy for yourself, first hand?

Consider all of the shady business deals.... consider the recent past with gang land activities resulting in what amounts to massacre? Now apply the modern ease of information transfer to just those two simple aspects of human society.

Rather incredible to think that entire families and even organizations could be "removed" from existence rather easily in the modern day. All anyone really need, is the access to such information and the simple want to do it.

Speaking from experience, I realize how easy it is to get anyone to say and do just about anything without having any insight of their own beyond some gossip. In my instance this tactic was used to procure an estate which was held in trust, and about to be remitted to myself.

You may think it is crazy even talking about it, but again is the convenience of modern day information transfer. There is probably no way to trace the activities around said actions at this point... which of course is then a particular point of "fail safe" on both sides of the issue, being that there is safety for the perpetrators (and their respective careers), and there is safety in having no access to real proof of it transpiring.

In this situation though, it becomes rather unsafe for anyone that may have been a party to said activities. Eventually people become a liability... especially the kind of people which chose to participate in such dangerous relationships with NO information of their own beyond what was said to them in the interest of gaining their support (how ever temporarily).

The people that participated in such, are actually more in danger than myself in this instance. They are what amounts to a modern paper trail.

In considering this, I realize that I do not even have to embody a want of revenge or even ill feelings. In that consistency and level of danger to exposure within such relationships, I am quite sure that sooner than later things will be resolved simply as a matter of course.

I think about what I have heard in my youth, and about certain acts in modern history of ethnic cleansings and political take overs - and I have to admit that it is kind of exciting to consider. Entire families have been taken away in our modern day for what ever reasons which are not important to this commentary... but in simply applying those tendencies to the situation of my own... it becomes quite the thrill to think that I am still in the running to be a victim of what amounts to genocide... though such would probably happen from those peripheral areas which chose to participate.

It is rather incredible... though a bit unfair I think from my own perspective, given all else I have had to shoulder and experience in my life... but that even, is somewhat secondary to the vicarious witnessing of a huge killing machine long dormant, being utilized in ways that indicate perhaps it should again be permanently employed within society on the whole - given that such transgressions were allowed to transpire to begin with.

Such really only indicates a readiness in society for a massive surge in removal of the sort that not only would tolerate such forms of political (and otherwise) movement - but further even participate in it - which of course will lead to the commonality of such tactics again anyhow, so why not just implement it again, entirely?

Funny though, how most of those who would employ such tactics, are in no way willing to be on the other side of it in that larger sense. At the first perceived possibility of any such thing, suddenly there are humanitarian issues out the ass.

That as well beside the point, I again have to state how exciting it truly is to be a part of it. I suppose my lot in that sense is similar to much of the desperation living in support of such tactics, being that I am celebrating a part of it from a point that isn't necessarily the most optimum in this instance. This meaning that it is similar in the consistency of people tending to attach themselves to things in any way possible just to be seen as being a part of it. "Making themselves important" so to speak....

This is a similar perspective, though greatly different in many ways as well.

It is a rather mind altering consideration to begin with... then further a greater experience when a person considers themselves as potential victim within it.

There is no reprieve. I know that just from the consistency of willingness for the future fodder to comply of/with/and for it.... and further, as I have stated from those accounts in youth from where I really can't say..... but rather ominous and truthful accounts of nothing much more than suggestion I imagine.

If it is that society has decided to condone such for the spineless reuse of it in a rather ignorant fashion I suppose from the perspective of those having utilized it with much more efficiency from history, than it is that such should transpire even in the grotesque transgressions that justifying it, are... much less implementing it.

In so many words I suppose, society kind of has decided that it deserves to live under such oppression again.

And maybe society is correct. It has my vote, from top to bottom.
