The following is a commentary by Arclight in response to an Information Clearing House vid titled “Paradise Stolen”. The basic message of the video presents how we could be living in a paradise if it wasn’t for the insanity of the “American oligarchy” and their poison that “embodies” the culture.

‘Daddy, why didn’t you try to stop the bad men’?
If I had to answer this question I would tell the Parable of the King and the Poisoned Well.
The Parable: There was once a wise king who ruled over a vast kingdom. He was feared for his might and loved for his wisdom. Now in the heart of the city, there was a well with pure and crystalline waters from which the king and all the inhabitants drank.
When all were asleep, three witches entered the city and poured seven drops of a strange liquid into the well. They said that henceforth all who drink this water shall become mad.
The next day, all the people drank of the water, but not the king. And the people began to say, “The king is mad and has lost his reason. Look how strangely he behaves. We cannot be ruled by a madman, so he must be dethroned.”
The king grew very fearful, for his subjects were preparing to rise against him. He had a difficult choice: risk being destroyed by his beloved subjects or drink from the poisoned well and become mad like them.
So that evening, he ordered a golden goblet to be filled from the well, and he drank deeply. The next day, there was great rejoicing among the people, for their beloved king had finally regained his reason. — Parable Author Unknown
The world is insane because it drinks from the well the oligarchy poisoned. The seven drops of poison are Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed, and Sloth, and America embodies all of these vices in its culture.
Just because the world is destroying itself doesn’t mean we have to join them like the king did in the parable, and I’d rather be avoided and looked upon with disdain in an insane asylum that is our nation than bask in their praise.
The vast majority of our nation that is insane will end up being the most devastated, confused, and terrified when the inevitable collapse happens, and it may or may not happen in our lifetimes but it will happen eventually. (End of Arclight’s commentary)
