Greetings good citizen, now that it is legal to 'propagandize' the public by those who control the government...and I don't believe anyone has any illusions about who those people are (regardless of what the media tells us.) We all need to be 'aware' that 'propaganda' is neither 'true or the truth'.
Propaganda is 'supposed to be' like 'advertising' where it becomes the consumer's responsibility to find out what is true and what is 'exaggeration'.
Many of us marvel that the government [a wholly owned subsidiary of The One Percent] went through the 'formality' of legalizing its lies, I mean, why bother? They've been lying to us for years (and there isn't anything anyone can do about it so WTF?)
Do they think we WON'T hang them if they legalize their lies? As matters currently stand, it is no longer a question of 'if' but 'when'...
In a media awash in 'sensationalism', most of us have stopped trying to sort fact from fiction (with most of us defaulting to tossing most of what we hear and more of what we see into the rubbish bin.)
With everybody 'tuned out' there can be no such thing as a 'national conversation' where the forces of change are welded into a mighty force to be reckoned with. Try to start a revolt today and three quarters of the public would remain ignorant, they'd literally 'tune it out' as something that they didn't care about or didn't concern them.
Sort of brings me to a point I tried to make the other day, that another big reason there HASN'T BEEN a revolt is because people are already convinced there is nothing to 'revolt for'.
Sounds counter-intuitive...ask just about anyone and they will tell you they aren't happy with the way things are going and MOST PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF WHERE THIS NATION/WORLD IS HEADED!
Yet most don't see the point in revolting if what we currently have is 'as good as it gets'.
I believe A Simple Plan proves that to be a false dictum! BUT, it has ALWAYS been legal for those in power to lie to the people they profess to 'serve'.
So the reasonably recent propaganda law remains a head scratcher...who thought they needed a 'fig leaf'?
Just one more of the mysteries attached to 'Morning in America', which was sort of a 'palace coup' that nobody acknowledges. With that said, 'revolutions' can occur with the affected parties being none the wiser!
Got to admit, things certainly have changed and very little of it was 'organic'. Worse, it wasn't just here! A wave of 'conservatism' has swept the world and washed away any 'opposition' to rapacious capitalism.
How do we throw the 'crazy train' into 'reverse'? I already answered that one and it's our only play. We Strike!
And this isn't a 'sick out' where we all don't show up on a given day. I'm talking an all out commitment to a better deal for us ALL!
Even the 'thieves' [the ones we don't hang'] will reap a better world than the one so artificially expensive that even they were considered 'collateral damage'!
When less than one percent of the population controls over 60% of the wealth, you're talking a LOT of losers in this game of 'winners and losers they've saddled us with.
So we return to the issue at hand. Why hasn't there been a 'revolt'? And the answer is THERE WAS ONE...but it wasn't led by the forces of 'good' [as in the greater], it was spearheaded by the HAVES and the HAVE MORES!
The end result is the badly broken 'global economy' we have today!
What began as an effort to 'expand' markets turned into an exercise in market consolidation, a.k.a. 'monopolization', the original tool intended to make capitalism 'work'.
How sad that it doesn't?
What it insures is the rich remain rich while the worker gets deeper in debt. How long do you think we can play that game before the public gets sick of it?
Long time or do you think we're approaching the 'tipping point'?
Because in the end it doesn't matter WHAT 'YOU THINK!' If you don't like it there is NOTHING you can DO about it!
Just a little something to ponder as you meander through the wreckage of what once passed for our civilization...
Thank you for letting me inside your head,
