That’s exactly what I consider the US media. Every day, every time we turn on the television, the radio or browse the Internet, there’s another weapon being “fired” to take our attention away from more important and pressing matters. It gets so that I feel a deep disgust for anyone who claims themselves to be part of this mass madness movement.
What’s amazing, yet appalling at the same time, is the fact that the “leaders”—for lack of a better term—can’t get Amerikka right, but they can be all up in the business of other countries. You could swear there were no poor, malnourished, diseased people living right here in Amerikka, much of whose afflictions are due to the corrupt US pharmaceutical mafia aka Big Pharma that has been given free reign by masquerading agents of acronym agencies who pretend to care about public health.
And then these same low lifes—the acronyms and those calling themselves leaders—turn around and speak of democracy. As if they really know what that means, when they’d honestly give anything to be able to freely go back to stepping on the necks of certain people. But, don’t for a minute believe they’re not still stepping. They’re just using other, more stealth methods to do so.
Ask anybody who’s just lost a job or been earnestly searching for one for the past year; who’s been evicted or is facing eviction; who checked their 401(k), only to find out it was empty. For that matter, talk to the employees of KB Toys, AT&T, Bank of America, City of Atlanta and all these other companies that are dropping workers like Raid drops flies. If that’s not neck stepping, I don’t know what is. Everybody gets a bailout, but the very people whose money is being used to bail out sharks. What a spectacular example of democracy at work!
Surprisingly, there are those of us who really believe that Obama will be able to change all this around. By his lonesome, he’s going to make a country that as long as it’s been called Amerikka has been imperfect, perfect. I hate to sound pessimistic, but it ain’t gonna happen. Equality is a concept foreign to those running this country and they will do everything to ensure there are degrees of separation between the haves and the have nots.
My money that was involuntarily taken from my paycheck was involuntarily given to banks and other companies who wouldn’t give me a loan if my life depended on it. They didn’t want to give them to me before, and they sure as hell ain’t gonna do it now, but because of the ruthless, criminal enterprises the PEOPLE have “s”elected as representatives, we get no say so. And like everybody else paying taxes in this corrupt country, I didn’t receive so much as a letter of thanks for allowing this country to make a damn fool out of me, while they shoved their financial burden off on me and my future generations.
Do I sound a wee bit upset? It’s because it’s about principle, people. Of which this country is sorely lacking. That and the aptitude to admit that this country is run by muttbrained fu**ups. whew! it felt good to get that off my chest—now for the finale*
My suggestion is that we bear down and get ready to weather one of the worst storms to transpire during our lifetime—just keep in mind that you cannot do that if you allow yourself to get sucked away in the media’s arsenal of mass distractions.
