Greetings good citizen, as the media struggles to convince you that a majority of your peers are insane and will be voting for the despot of their choice come November STOP AND TAKE A HALF A STEP BACK!
How did it come to this, how did we 'lose control' of the national dialog? What happened to the political process that we have two equally distasteful candidates, BOTH 'reeking of privilege' as our only mainstream choices this election cycle?
Worse, we already KNOW the oligarchs have 'promised' the presidency to the female candidate so why the pretense? Are they really intent upon inciting widespread rioting come election time?
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Is the [Corporate owned] Media...the first words are essential because of the long held perception that the media exists to dispense 'truth' and nothing but the truth, so help my paycheck!
And THAT is the REALITY of the situation, good citizen, not only do you write what you're TOLD TO WRITE but you do it the way we tell you to or you don't work here anymore!
Then there's the political process itself. Um, America doesn't produce a lot of heroes anymore so it's kind of slim pickins' when it comes to a contest based on 'celebrity'. The Republicans have taken to, er, 'recruiting' actors to be their, er, 'avatars' while the non-existent opposition/doormat party runs whoever will settle to have the stuffing kicked out of them by an angry public that knows these 'clowns' not only don't have their back but they pretend to be ignorant of the issues facing a majority of us.
IN THIS RESPECT, I RETRACT MY EARLIER ACCUSATION THAT 'UNITED WE AREN'T'!
Unity starts with an issue and our tone-deaf lying media is one of the two things WE THE PEOPLE can agree on! What's the second thing?
We have lost control of the political process, who among you 'disagrees'?
Ah, just as I thought, the silence is deafening...sounds unanimous to me!
Those who pretend to represent us have been operating behind closed door for so long that we no longer question their motives. How fortunate for them!
Worse, we swallow the 'divided' Kool Aid when they hand it to us! [Sorta redefines the whole Pogo thing where he states "I have seen the enemy and he is ME!
Gullibility (a.k.a misplaced trust) isn't a crime per se but it is what usually lays the foundation for criminals to operate.
Who to trust when has always been problematic for our species of opportunists, that happen to be a little too good at exploiting situations for our own benefit, often failing to 'appreciate' the consequences of our actions until it's too late.
Most of the time we fix the problem and the damage is 'minimized' but in some cases we 'turn a blind eye' and pay mightily so 'a few can be rich'.
If you're seeing 'red flags' everywhere you turn you aren't being 'paranoid', our civilization really is on the verge of collapse
Like all of the collapses that have gone before we are once again astounded by the magnitude of human stupidity! If you understand what you're reading the prognosis actually does predict 'the end of the world 'AS WE KNOW IT' which by no stretch of the imagination means it's 'the actual end of the world'.
It does mean a lot of things you've become 'used to' will, er, 'disappear' You will learn to be much more 'frugal' with electricity and likely 'relearn' old fashioned ways of cooling and preserving rather than our, er, 'modern, energy intensive methods. In that respect the clock will only turn back to the beginning of the last century. The 'social clock' has already rolled back a THOUSAND YEARS with the 'self-interested' standing ready to EXECUTE anyone that challenges THEIR CLAIM over what BELONGS TO US ALL!
That said, the Peak Oil/Energy problem deserves a post of its own...One where I will lay out a, er, more likely scenario as 'easy to recover' is removed completely from the equation.
If politics no longer makes sense it is BECAUSE we have reached a 'crossroads' where our species will have to decide if it has what it takes to move forward or if we will join the dinosaurs in their endless 'dirt nap' [so a few can DIE rich!]
Sorry about being the 'bearer of bad tidings' but better bad than none...
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,
