Avoiding Jingoism
July 12, 2018
By Steve Beckow
Jingoism is defined as “extreme chauvinism or nationalism marked especially by a belligerent foreign policy.” (1)
Does that ring a bell? How many of our articles are diatribes of a jingoistic nature?
Jingoistic writing features and relies on a great deal of exaggerations, appeals to Mom-and-apple pie, florid compliments of “our side” and extreme denunciations of the “other side,” and advocacy of a hostile defensive position in a “dangerous” world.
It features appeals to emotional symbols like the flag, the cross, “democracy,” the “American way of life,” (2) etc.
Anyone who criticizes the jingo is considered to have spit on the flag or identified themselves as a communist.
Jingoism promotes duality, polarity. It fosters a war mentality by identifying one group as our enemy and the other as our savior, when neither is true.
On many of the blogs I read, I see lightworkers writing jingoistically and I personally think it’s a missed opportunity.
I’d be gladdened if lightworkers skated around this pitfall.
Some lightworkers appear to fall for what is essentially an MSM/cabal campaign to neutralize, undercut and condemn political leaders who oppose them.
Many of us may have forgotten our powers of critical assessment, given that we seem to have bought into the cabal’s campaigns against figures like President Obama and Pope Francis. (3)
President Trump is a more complicated matter; he gives lots of grounds for criticism while doing what needs to be done to serve the Alliance agenda of world peace. (4)
Let me give one example of how we haven’t dug deeply enough or given the benefit of the doubt to President Obama.
He’s condemned for the use of drones. But my understanding is that the use of drones was the price of bringing American troops home.
Here’s Matthew Ward on the cabal’s opposition to Obama and the decision he faced around the drones:
“The tenacity of the dark ones caused about a ten-year delay in your progress as a society. The delay didn’t deter Earth’s ascension one whit—her timing was predestined—but it severely curtailed Obama’s ability to carry out his mission because powerful individuals within the Illuminati still had the power to derail, distort or detour his efforts.
“A large part of their effectiveness has come from people whose third-density perceptions have been sending forth the energy of ‘anti-Obama’ thoughts and feelings. That energy has been refueling the dark ones and enabling them to keep a strong chokehold on the president’s endeavors to move your world toward Gaia’s vision.
“It is natural to question why that would include killing, and many feel that Obama’s approval of using drones shows that he is not of the light. That perspective omits this essential element: The drones’ purpose is to kill as few persons as possible while ending warfare as quickly as possible.” (5)
The same cabal that “had the power to derail, distort or detour his efforts” produced a false birth certificate, a false Columbia student card, and a falsified video in which he’s heard saying he was born in Kenya. They neutralized him when he was President and now point to all important policy decisions as having emanated from him. Was he neutralized or essential? We can’t have it both ways.
Keep in mind that President George H.W. Bush, Sr. was born in Germany. Where are lightworkers who protest his election as a violation of the Constitution? We’re silent. We harass an innocent Obama and turn our faces from a guilty Bush.
Why do we not know about Bush? Because the cabal-controlled media won’t say a peep about it. Or about Sen. John McCain being born in Panama? Can we not see the double standard and how we’re being manipulated by the cabal?
SaLuSa and others have asked us not to read the mainstream media until it’s cleaned up. But not only do we take our information from them but we seem to swallow it whole.
The shortest way out of the hole we may find ourselves in – and this may sound at first as if it’s not the most sensible – is to refrain from judgment (period). Without judging the other person, we take no action towards them. (6)
It’s only after judging others as unattractive, stupid, shallow, etc., that we perpetrate against them. Perpetrations lead to grudges; from there to revenge; and finally, worst-case scenario, to war.
Might I also ask us to base our discernment on sources that are uncorrupted and reliable? People who operate on the extremes of fawning, praising, judging and criticizing tend not to be credible or reliable. People who remain in the center and use neutral language tend to be a somewhat better bet.
As lightworkers, our task is to occupy this balanced center and blame no one. Yes, we work to stop the cabal’s depredations, but we’re not about to hang them from a lamp post.
Us remaining calm while all around us are losing their heads IS perhaps the major contribution we make to the grooming of the collective consciousness and the overthrow of the cabal. It may seem like a modest contribution – just as listening seems that way – but in effect it’s a tremendously-important one.
This isn’t a lethargy which, in the end, simply goes with the largest bloc of voters and the loudest voices. This is a group that refrains from violent words and deeds because it knows there’s a better way.
If enough of us remain calm, given the rising vibrations, it’ll soon prove impossible to whip the nation into a jingoistic frenzy.

(3) Like President Obama, Pope Francis entered the Vatican determined to put an end to its corruption, child-trafficking, Satanism, and other abuses. But lightworkers condemn him, accepting the cabal’s misinformation. The cabal criticizes all their enemies, but we multiply their impact by blindly accepting their version of events.
(4) To review, the marks of a case being not credible include too many improbabilities, implausibilities, impossibilities, contradictions and inconsistencies. On President Trump, see “Trump? Have I Lost It?” June 19, 2018, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2018/06/19/trump-have-i-lost-it/.

(6) Nowadays I don’t analyze my judgments or try to work with them. The minute I find myself judging, I repeat to myself “Judgement” and drop the thought. That’s the end of the matter.
