And now for something completely different...

Okay, I went off... topics I had to address, I condensed them. And one comment before you dive in, please read them with the notion that these are works in progress and merely questions to get us all thinking. They do contain facts within them but of themselves, as a whole, they are to get us thinking and asking the tough questions... Enjoy!

-Republican versus Democrat? I think not.-

They (those in Washington D.C.) are playing two sides against the middle. Democrats have to, in order to achieve any gain at all, create a pretext of caring about social issues while systematically eliminating them. Republicans (the new GOP is what I am referring to) have the luxury of not caring and they achieve the most. Usually this is about making money for themselves and their friends rather than helping the country and the American people (this is not what I remember the republican party being about, it sure didn't care about "foreigners" but it took care of Americans-at least that's what they said).

For example, I switched to C- Span about a year to see one of our senators arguing the point. He was discussing the appropriations (of money) and asked "could we please appropriate the funding of our veterans? We have appropriated 56 million for Iraq, how about some money for our veterans?"

Now it struck me that we are giving all of this money to Iraq when our people are in record numbers becoming poverty stricken, especially our veterans.Then further it hit me that this money (our money) wasn't going to Iraqi people it was going to American international corporations. The CEO's in Washington swindled us out of our tax dollars. While our services our cut and our people are dying. More recently they cut funding for combat pay (not positive of these details, I heard this from friends in the military, as I am a military brat). We seem to be coming to a divide and it isn't Republican V Democrat...it is Haves V Have nots

-Patriot Act II? Vampires? Freedom? Oh My!-

www.infowars.com nicely written about Patriot Act II.

Patriot Act II- the end of freedom in America- hey they've been stuggling to get it done for years.. now they have just dressed it up, put it in a nice little package... the trick is we have to accept it.

Yes, folks, just like the myth of Vampires: they can only hurt you if you LET THEM IN. This is the real life scenario that the myth is trying to warn us against- manipulation and allowing someone (thing?) to control us and manipulate us to suck the very life out of us...

Don't think this is happening, huh? Heck, I wish it wasn't!

I feel like Paul Revere here, but there's no plan of action and no one is waking up! I've been riding all night and the army's almost to our door and only three of you have had coffee, haven't even gotten dressed...

Sad state of affairs when all signs point to treasonous conspiracy and no one even thinks it could be a possibility. Won't EVEN hear evidence, solid evidence, that SOMETHING is happening.

Okay, lets say this is all nonsense it's not like the underground media is saying. They are all just doing the best they can and these little societies they are a part of, well, they're nothing but old ceremonies, and the media being suppressed, well, it's not "suppressed" *chuckles*... Then, why are these innocent "powers that be" trying to deny the existence of the societies by saying these people- who are just investigating what's going on- are crazy? Why did we not hear about the protesters civil liberty being violated and don't hear about 75% of information that is pretty important to the American people in a DEMOCRACY?

It is NOT crazy to question authority it is what are country was founded on... Boston Tea Party anyone?...Bill of Rights?

Both protests....against authority...

This is OUR country let us preserve it


-Corporate Propaganda Vs Our Freedom-
WE are being pushed certain ways by Corporate PROPAGANDA. Yes, I know, even what I'm writing can be considered propaganda. But what I'm really referring to is the construct that has been created by the corporate propaganda, the LIE, if you will, that was told that now has a life of it's own and has become the reality that we all believe. That it has to be this way because it has ALWAYS been this way. When in reality nothing has ever really been one way- this is an ever changing universe.

For example, why are we not using bio-fuel instead of fighting for oil? Because people are making billions off of oil and bio-fuel you can practically grow in your backyard.

Our soil would be boosted and our farmers saved. We would be free of middle east control and environmental degradation. Why is the middle east dictating our policy anyway?! Because they are. They hold the keys to the oil flow so they have power. It makes no sense until you realize we have an oil Barron in the power seat. Any other leader would have immediately began opening up all research labs to get us alternative fuels today! Not twenty years from now! It would have been a national race rather than an underground movement.

A good leader would have rushed out the door when he heard a plane crashed into the world trade center, though, as well. So, I guess... who cares? Nobody seems to really...

ARE WE ALL REALLY THAT AFRAID?

Our ancestors came to this country to flee from tyranny not create it...

What have WE done?

Quote:

"It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison, and yet not free -
to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a psychological captive,
compelled to think, feel and act as the representatives of the national
state, or of some private interest within the nation, wants him to think,
feel and act.

The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under
constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own
initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a
victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes
himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people.
His servitude is strictly objective."

Brave New World Revisited, Aldous Huxley, 1958
