Of Cause and Effect

I find myself constantly having to return to my foundations these days and such action is an indicator that propaganda or manipulative lies are on the rise. Events must have a cause and, Eternal Law, Divine Law and Natural Law as an absolute define this. There can be no “effect” without cause; this is a confirmed fact or axiom often referred to as “Causality”.

(Those ever bothering to read anything I write may be aware that I omitted “Humanities Law” amongst the Four Canon of Universal Law but perhaps by the end you will understand why but for those that don’t know me suffice to say; I don’t accept tyrannical law. While I acknowledge its existence, I am under no compulsion to obey any Law unless equally enforced, amongst all living under its guise. As circumstance would have it though, there are the other three Canons to keep me from the anarchy of complete and utter chaos for now. As my friend, Kevin Blanch is so fond of saying:

“They’ll be calling you a radical”)

While Saint Thomas of Aquino (Yes, Aquinas and Aquin are equally acceptable to any of the immediate critics of my work looking to create an appearance of being edified or me being less than so.) eloquently set down the Four Canon of Universal Law, it was perhaps Aristotle that defined the nature of Causality. Translation from earlier languages of Greek, Latin and then into English will give rise to debate using “cause” to define what he referred to as “why” but then some things are purely a matter of subjective semantics.

Aristotle’s Four Whys are:

“Formal cause, whereby a thing's dynamic form or static shape determines the thing's properties and function, as a human differs from a statue of a human or as a statue differs from a lump of bronze.” (Eternal [Physics])

“Material cause, the material from whence a thing has come or that which persists while it changes, as for example, one's mother or the bronze of a statue (see also substance theory).” (Divine [Philosophical])

“Final cause, the criterion of completion, or the end; it may refer to an action or to an inanimate process. Examples: Socrates takes a walk after dinner for the sake of his health; earth falls to the lowest level because that is its nature.” (Nature)

I again have omitted one of the Four Whys, “Efficient cause, which imparts the first relevant movement, as a human lifts a rock or raises a statue” (Humanity), because efficient has ceased as a motivational factor in my view. The only thing efficient of Humanities Law is within its motivation by greed. Long ago, it ceased being about efficient Justice or efficient work and became about efficient profits and efficient control.

I see nothing wrong with earning profit for effort or even talent but gaining profit for profits sake without consideration of the ramifications is the moral dilemma that erodes the public trust. If indeed “We the People” are the embodiment of our government and if we as a majority see the ethical breach happening daily, are we not then compelled by the other Three Cannon of Universal Law to stand against this tyranny?

A purely rhetorical question and it requires no answer, save in your own heart. Ask yourself, “What do you stand to profit in your actions and what do you stand to lose?”

The Administrations use of the slogan “Forward” might be a positive message to one who is foolish enough to trust it. Ambiguity being what it is in one word slogans the critical thinker has to ask, “If your going to make such an empirical command I most protest, for you have yet to be clear on forward to where or into what? I read ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ and all I have seen is blunders out of this Scamander and Thief.

So I will not consent, I will not comply and I will not compromise based on the 5 year history of continued, pathetic, incompetence thus far displayed. Only fools would follow such a fool as he and his administration has shown to be.
