Greetings good citizen, for those of you that suspect there's nothing 'random' about the now amazingly regular massacres taking place across the world. [Why everywhere? Capitalism is everywhere...if it's happening here, you can bet it's happening everywhere!] The media ignores (minor) events that occur in foreign lands lest others begin to notice the rather awkward pattern.
A deceiving one but awkward none the less. Yes the common link is capitalism and the 'be very afraid' tactics used to justify huge military budgets but what you aren't seeing is the truly scary part.
We see 'haters' exacting their own savage brand of 'justice' against those who have offended either them or their God...but this has nothing to do with reality.
The reality is the same as it ever was, the 'haters' are the result of the 'devisive toolbox' the manipulators of popular opinion use to keep the 'superstitious peasants' among us in line.
Left to our imagination is whether or not these attacks are 'orchestrated' by the same people who preach this madness?
Shouldn't be. The people playing both sides of every 'hot button issue you can think of are merely 'stirring the pot', keeping you 'off balance', distracted from the larger issues you SHOULD BE paying attention like the soaring unemployment rate or the swelling number of homeless as well as the mounting hunger crisis.
Back in the Cold War days I used to wonder if 'Ivan on the street' [a.k.a. your typical Soviet] was so jacked up about his country that he's sacrifice himself and his family simply for the 'greater glory' of Mother Russia?
Using logic [I know, definitely contrary to the ideologues playbook but it turns out I was correct.] I sensed that Ivan in the Street was just like me, nothing was worth the carnage although if it ever came down to it we'd both fight to save our families from oppression. As long as he stayed there I'd be perfectly happy to stay here and leave him unmolested.
Switch back to the 'toolbox'. Next thing you know (and wouldn't they spring this during the middle of a presidential election cycle) was the sudden, unilateral decision that a Federal Judge in Boston handed down a verdict that allowed Gays to marry.
Now, I don't care WHO YOU marry. I think the whole thing is outdated, a throwback to a more primitive time...you know, back a hundred years ago when women were property. But it seems the Aids epidemic triggered some unfortunate outcomes with the Insurance companies and as a result the Law was called into question.
Rightly so, marriage is a 'legal construct', intended to protect children but it also provided survivorship benefits to spouses.
In a perfect world none of this would be necessary but as I pointed out yesterday, this world is far from 'perfect'.
Wait for it...what does this have to do with the Islam-o-fascist?
Because like Ivan on the Street above, neither actually exists outside the propagandist's toolbox!
So where are the 'whack-jobs' coming from?
Remember what I asked earlier? Are our 'propagandists' taking the next step and making their bogeymen real?
Don't have any proof but it sure looks that way.
The average individual has enough on his/her plate just trying (and sadly failing in most cases) to keep their own head above water. Sure they listen to the 'rhetoric' and SOME (a rather small percentage I'd add) are constantly grousing about 'why doesn't somebody DO SOMETHING about (fill-in-the-blank!)'
You know this guy because he's the same crank that bitches about EVERYTHING! That and his endless rants have only one setting, LOUD.
EVERYBODY knows he's unhappy...and if he isn't griping about something, better check his pulse because he's probably DEAD!
The 'attention starved' are hardly a novelty. I'll bet nobody's more surprised than El Rushbo that he was able to parlay his penchant for attention into a multi-million dollar radio deal!
But again, I digress.
Let us return to the problem at hand, are the 'trendsetters' among us taking matters beyond their 'mandate'?
Let's begin with the mounting dishonesty of the corporate owned media. Multiple offenses go completely unmentioned but the spotlight is constantly burning brightly upon 'wedge issues'...is THAT what YOU want from the 'media'?
You know you're being played but the problem is YOUR KIDS DON'T!
[Which is the topic of a whole 'nuther essay so we'll leave that one alone for now.]
I digress yet again if I ask how we can put a stop to this manufactured madness and the answer is disturbing to say the least.
Short of an all out alien invasion, we can't...not even temporarily put a stop to the process that manufactures 'consent'.
The only way to put an end to their murderous ways is to end the current 'for profit' enterprise system!
[Watch for the PS...]
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
PS. How sad is it good citizen that the only 'profit' that truly matters is the advancement of our entire species? [Not just the few at the top, our self-appointed betters!]
