The New Priesthood

A recent post on Setting the Record Straight titled Chronicle of King Donald I attempts to remove the reign of Trump from a contemporary context and look at it from a broader perspective. It views the modern priesthood as the real broker of power, and likens today's universities to seminary schools.

Even the King’s speechwriters have degrees from seminary school. And a requirement of promotion in the military is to have an advanced degree from seminary school. Curious. Before a guy in a helmet fires a gun, the King’s order passes through several ranks of priests.

The president is mostly a figurehead who serves at the leisure of the priesthood and is bound to do their bidding. Congress is similarly controlled.

We have a bicameral Parliament that writes legislation for the King to approve or reject. Supposedly, the Parliament most directly represents the “People”. The people always elect priests though. Isn’t that funny? Every member of the Parliament just so happened to go to seminary school.

Priesthood is not meant to be used as a metaphor. They are a priesthood, in the literal sense, even if they don't realize it. Not only do they control the belief system that binds the social system together - and attack all who challenge that order - but they are actually more spiritual in the traditional sense. Consider a Contemporary Christian service, the kind with the rock band and vague platitudes of love and praise. They are devoid of direct descriptions of supernatural forces and ignore the vast majority of the Bible. Meanwhile, woke politics includes denunciations of "dark psychic forces" and mysticism about evil "whiteness." There is more spirituality in a DNC debate than in a Contemporary Christian church service.
