I have been at this a long time. Lately I have no desire to write about what I see happening in the world because I’ve already talked about it. I saw the Zeitgeist movie this evening and there was nothing in the movie that I have not already written about. Yes we have been taken for a ride by the people that control this country and that are the International Bankers. Yes the Federal Reserve is robbing us blind and we have known that since Woodrow Wilson told us so. Yes, our education system in this country is producing sub-par graduates without the capacity for critical thing; you know that by just talking to them. We know that the media is controlled by the corporations that are controlled by the bankers who control our government. I know all that.
Does anyone really care? That’s what I want to know. What the hell is Obama going to do when he’s in bed with corporate bankers? What the hell are the Democrats going to do for us when they are too? There are no “good guys” out there. They are just people running for their own agenda. Sure Obama is going to keep troops in Iraq. So is Clinton, so is McCain. This thing will go on as long as the defense contractors are making money. They will give some to Clinton or Obama or McCain, whoever gets elected.
Sooner or later we will invade Venezuela. While everyone is watching for Iran the government will keep sending soldiers into Columbia. Chavez is fair game for all the future Presidents if we get another President. He has been denounced by all three. That’s because he stood up to this empire we have made for ourselves. You know it, I know it, but everyone acts as if they don’t understand what’s going on. We all know what’s going on. Most people are just afraid to say it.
Let me give you a hand on this. It’s not hard, it goes like this: The government works for the richest in America and really doesn’t give a flying shit about us “regular” people. Didn’t you see that in the aftermath of Katrina? Didn’t you see that in the care they gave our Veteran’s when they came home? Didn’t you see that in the blackout of coverage of Winter Soldier? Don’t you see that in the bailout of investment brokerages while 60,000 people are living in tent cities outside of LA because of the foreclosures due to the sub-prime market? Sure, the bastards will bail out the bankers but don’t really care about the regular citizen that pays 25% tax based on an illegal unconstitutional income tax that was never ratified.
Why don’t people start screaming? What the hell is going on? Is anyone really excited about any of these presidential contenders? If you are excited, all I can say is that it doesn’t take you much to get excited over. They haven’t said anything noteworthy. This country is for all intents and purposes a fascist state and not a word is uttered about that. I can’t believe that Naomi Wolf who tells people about the ten steps to fascism is actually supporting a corporate-owned candidate. I can’t believe any of what’s going on anymore. Everyone is afraid to speak out about our media led, corporate controlled lives. I’m not afraid to speak. This country is in bad shape. We are closer to a police state than you believe. The government is corrupt, the media is corrupt and we are corrupt because we are not speaking out against the robber barons that have kept the middle class of this country down.
So enjoy your phone that plays your favorite songs. Watch your hi-def TV and text your friends because you’re bored. Do anything it takes to believe that everything is OK here in America. It’s not OK. Can you hear me? Everything is not OK in America. Just keep making believe it is and soon enough you will see what’s wrong with this country first hand, if you haven’t already. Just keep believing in Democrats and party bosses. Keep believing that things will “change”. Things are not going to change unless the people change them. Dig this; that’s you! Nobody can take your place in this, not me, not anyone, and certainly not a mainstream politician.
That’s the way I see it.
