Greetings headcount, as the New Normal begins we should examine our starting point before cabin fever wipes out even the memory of compassion.
Which is where we draw the first line in the sand...
Since Morning in America, the media has used Reagan's election as the jumping-off point in their ongoing campaign to divide the nation.
Reagan, more of a pitchman than an actor, had zero leadership skills. This suited his backers perfectly because all Ronnie had to do was stick to the script.
Don't be mistaken, the first time Reagan 'won' office it was a choice between a confident (albeit unqualified) carnival barker and a fumbling peanut farmer that somehow managed to become the head of the CIA before making his presidential bid. In a more disturbing pattern, W's father also sat in that seat.
[Since the military forms the backbone of the 'intelligence' community and Carter was an intelligence operative in the Navy, but the public doesn't remember this because it preceded his entry into public life. While people sometimes marvel at Bill Clintons popping up from behind a blade of grass and becoming president, Jimmy Carter was the original pop up out of nowhere and capturing national office almost inexplicably.
His near-magical appearance on the world stage to defeat Gerald Ford, the Stooge who pardoned Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew for their crimes against the nation was overshadowed by a nation rocked by scandal as the conservatives quietly consolidated their power behind the scenes.
What is it with Republicans and stupid? Now ask yourself HOW these morons kept winning elections...and the answer comes back treason! When you control the media, the President is whoever they tell you it is.
It has since come to light that the Iranians were paid to stonewall the Carter administration's efforts to free the hostages but the Iran Contra affair was ignored by those who decide what becomes 'news'. Oliver North, like John Hinckley, are both free men. Not that our modern audience remembers who either player was (again, thanks to an advertiser-supported media. Isn't capitalism GREAT?)
Understand, this is the same owner-controlled media that coined (and marketed) the phrase 'Democracy is messy' as cover for the stubbornly persistent 'justice deficit' that exists worldwide.
What is conservatism's hero best remembered for? Breaking the unions!
St. Ronnie should have been lynched on the White House lawn for TREASON! [But that's a personal opinion that most don't share.] Sadly, an unreliable media and a religion that won't tolerate not being able to dictate social norms were behind the hijacking of the political process.
Even the reasons the original revolution was fought have been swapped with lies as the Speakers for God attempt to weasel their way back into control. [What the 'devout' has done to the nation's educational system is a crime against humanity worthy of expulsion from society.]
Anyone else find it curious that you are expected to remember the sequence of wars fought and who fought who but with zero regards for WHY the conflict took place?
I haven't been to school in decades but as close as I can gather from my children, the 14 years long Vietnam conflict is barely a footnote in today's history books and there is no mention at all of Iran-Contra.
But I digress.
How can one learn the lessons of history if the feckless are permitted to edit history to their liking?
Is this what lies behind mankind's blood-drenched history? Who is with me in bringing back banishment as the penalty for being untrustworthy?
Civil society can't afford to extend membership to individuals that require constant monitoring. Never has and it never will. Your most precious asset will always be your reputation [Which is why the field of honor will also be welcomed back alongside exile/banishment.]
Sorry, can't seem to prevent myself from charging off the reservation but the old ways existed for reasons that haven't gone away. Society is meant to be self-policing.
I have a tendency to give history lessons when looking at the future because we seem unable to break with the past and repeating the same mistakes.
When I tell you we are returning to the Dark Ages you had best believe it's true...and that your ancestors would murder every one of you in your cribs if they saw what you have blinded yourselves to.
Naturally, some of you are dim enough to think the Dark ages were a time when the sun wasn't particularly bright, something they have in common with our hypothetical reference!
The 'watchword' of the Dark ages is 'heresy'. Dare to differ with handed down dogma and you were executed for being an 'agent of evil'.
Unthinkable in our modern technological era? [Cue the refrain, we have some live ones!]
It is not possible to 'police' the mind of the individual but it is possible to teach the individual boundaries as those who control the media have learned over the ages.
History teaches us that plagues are typically followed by famines although the famine in most places will be one of money as millions of jobs won't be brought back online quickly enough to save the people that are a single paycheck away from destitution.
The stage is being set for the streets to run with blood (right around the time of the election.)
How ironic the people behind predatory capitalism are the ones who will write history?
Until next time Head, don't take any wooden nickles.

ReplyDeleteThe thugs exist to enforce conformity, not to 'protect' you.

ReplyDeleteThis was quite literally evidence that half the nation had lost its mind. Didn't anyone remember how the Republicans totalled the global economy? THey were and still are the party of the irresponsibile and the reckless!

ReplyDeleteReagan set a dangerous precedent for the legitimacy of such a fragile system. Not so fragile now, if you don't like it talk to the hand.

ReplyDeleteWrong tense, should read 'have written'...
