Laws of the wild
By Johnny D. Symon
"And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives."
— Judges 15:4,5
I recall certain events that took place during my first encounters on the Spanish mainland, and they've remained a permanent fixture on my little gray muscle ever since.
Even in those early days the British permeated the towns and cities of Southern Spain. Open markets are a popular attraction for English settlers. Once or twice a week in near every little village, stall holders set up for business, offering fresh fruit and vegetables, herbs and spices, rugs, pots, pans, and even fake Chanel bags. In fact Chanel is only one on a long list of fake designer copies ... piracy's something I hate, but everywhere I go I accept that it's happening, it's really none of my business. If the local cops accept that it's happening, then why shouldn't I? And besides some of those stall holders were local country folks who sold genuine handmade local goods, things that the English could not resist, at least some things.
They offered animal skin handbags, wallets and belts. Each item was unique, and this was part of the fun of it. The Brits would fumble through a pile of bags, and choose one they thought stood out from the rest. I reckon those guys had the idea that those original items had once covered the torso of a wild bunny, and some of them had, but others, truth be told, were at one time the possession of domestic cats! I suspect some of those cats had once belonged to English residents.
Country folks survive because country folks utilize what's available. The Brits however, being a nation of animal lovers, failed to consider the nature and the origin of their latest purchase.
Xenophobia was rife back in those days, and the English were the biggest target. The Germans though were loved by all, partly because many poor Spaniards found themselves comfortably employed, well paid, and welcome guests in Germany on and after the Spanish Civil War. Germany was good to them. And likewise Spain, during WW2, was kind to the fleeing Jews, so kind that it received a holocaust award early this week in Greece.
The Spanish government were well pleased and proud to receive the accolade on Spains behalf, and yet they also have set about enacting a law entitled "Ley de memoria," firmly aimed at removing all physical memory of the Franco Regime, or Fascism as they see it. And there lies the twist in the tale, because all credit for helping the Jews and the rightful owner therefore of that award is none other than General Franco himself. I scoured the media, both Left, Right, and Center, in, out, and round about, and could find no reference to the man himself. I've heard all about his faults, and have reminded myself that none of us are faultless in this world, but I also practice a thing called "credit where credit's due," so I will stand alone to praise Franco for this at least.
He was loved by some, feared and hated by others, possibly with some justification. But Franco's Spain did not contain xenophobia, probably due to the fact that mostly Spaniards lived there for most of his reign. But something else fostered during his time at the wheel no longer exists; an almost zero crime rate. Many old Spaniards wax lyrical to me of a time when they never locked their doors or windows, even at night, those who hated Franco enjoyed those benefits too. The penalty for murder was death, death without question, whereas nowadays killers get leniency or go free, while the innocent suffer. Their suffering is at the hands of another Fascist Regime, from the Left this time round, and for me it's a regime exacting far graver evils, for you see while Franco won the war then started to pull his nation back together again, striving to restore order and rebuild the nation from the ground up, the present Pinhead Loon Regime are practicing the exact opposite.
By the 1960's Franco could boast of low crime, whereas today's loons are trying to cover up an almost out of control crime rate. And though poverty was rife during the time of Franco, personal taxation did not exist, what you earned was yours to keep, yet the present loon regime tax everything that moves on an ever increasing scale while the poor get poorer, on the Spanish mainland at least. Terrorist despots in other lands receive Spanish tax payers money.
Though sadly I have to admit that this kind of tax theft and misappropriation is no Spanish novelty, it's a common evil throughout the Western World. The Bible says "thou shalt not steal," but theft has become a political institution that even President G W Bush takes advantage of, and I believe the world has stooped to this behavior because our world leaders have never lived in, or practiced the laws of the wild. Most of them were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and a carpet bag in their hand, and others were born and raised in the city, and due to this they're ignorant of God's natural synchronicity that country folks know and practice only too well. They understand God's scheme of things and the scale of creation.
The bird and animal kingdom, and the kingdom of the sea, understand their place in the food chain. Foxes prey on chickens, and the hounds fall upon the fox. There's no feeling of injustice or dissatisfaction in the kingdoms of the wild. Survival is from day to day. But humanity attempts to bring chaos into order, to reverse God's scheme of things in order to produce a world of "ideology." And through doing so they cheapen human life ... innocent human life ... while raising the guilty and the evil.
In today's world Samson's act with the foxes would be regarded as supreme cruelty to animals, but God's target through this act was to attack not animals but vermin. Today those vermin can expect billions of dollars stolen from Joe Public and not a hoard of fiery foxes. Man's evil sense of benevolence is pitched against God's sense of Justice, and I know which of those I favor.
God's Laws and the synchronicity surrounding them have become my territory. The laws of the wild are part of me, and I utilize that which has been provided me. I know my place in the scheme of things, and therefore uphold and honor the sanctity of innocent life, it's origin and that which belongs to it. I do not however pay tribute to vermin and that which should be destroyed. Terri Schindler lost her innocent life because innocent life is no longer of value in the evil scheme of things.
Innocent human beings are expendable in this "enlightened" age, as are their belongings, because God's Laws are no longer important, they are in fact an embarrassment, or maybe that's the wrong term, "indictment" is more appropriate. So off they go from outside of Townhalls, the Commandments of God, and that which gradually replaces them shall one day mark men like myself with the brand of Cain, and off we'll go deeper into the wilderness to live out our final days as fugitives from the unlawful.
