America the great. America the land of opportunity. America the intelligent?
My friend and I were wondering the other day why other countries in the world seem to actually care about what their politicians practice and what they stand for, but American's are willingly ignorant to such things. In Europe, everyone knows what a politicians beliefs and standards are. Even the gangs support the people who are running for office and you better believe if someone goes against their candidate, you might just get fucked up. Here in America, most of us don't give a shit about what goes on in politics. We are too concerned with what show is coming on that night, or how many people were killed in a subway bombing in London. We watch the news, but not to find out about our government, what laws they passed today and how many of them are thieves, liars and not looking out for the people that put them there, but to see if any disasters happened, or if any terrorist threats were recorded. We let our government spill it's propaganda out onto us and lap it up as if there was nothing better. Afterall, how easy is it to see the shady side of Big Brother when he literally shoves the most horrendous things in your face? They keep us in a constant state of fear every day of the week and we hardly have time to think about things other than the safety measures that we must follow in the event of a terror attack.
I've also noticed in other countries, places in Africa, Asia, and South America, they have political leaders, but they also have their religious leaders who have more power than the president. Those are the people that decide what is right and wrong. The citizens look to them for guidance before they ever listen to a word one of their politicians say. These priests and priestesses have ultimate power that people believe is from god. In America, our government claims to be set up by god and all of our American presidents have claimed to be Christians, but then we have laws that make the killing of babies okay and separation of church and state. (By the way, that shit is so full of lies, I can hardly even stand to type it. American leaders back the religious right, take most of their funding from them, and still they claim to not be a part of it, that religion has no say in politics. If you believe that, go fuck yourself because the government is going to do it to you anyway.) We are not a country of god fearing people. We go into countries of god fearing people, take their god away and force them to worship ours. The Taliban was not only the political leadership in the Middle East, it was also the spiritual leadership. America decided that the best thing for the whole world is democracy, capitalism and Jesus. (Once again quickly, capitalism and democracy were formed for use with Christianity. The three go hand in hand in hand.) The problem is, other countries that don't practice Christianity don't want democracy. America though, as guardians of the world can go into another country, take over their government, change their religion and completely fuck up their entire power and economic structure. And we as Americans still don't care. We're too busy with the illusions the government puts in front of our faces like a carrot for a horse to bother finding out exactly what they are doing to the people in the Middle East or Africa. Our favorite thing to do is stick our face into something that has no relevance to what is happening in our country, and destroy an entire group of people that have such rich culture and heritage. If we keep doing that, I can see in the next few years someone blowing us all away. And we are begging for it, not trying to prevent it. Come on, our government made a color coded grid to show us when we are in danger and when it's at it's highest point, nothing ever happens. We are meant to be fearful, meant to not pay attention to what is really happening. They pass these laws that take our freedoms away while they tell us that it is to further increase or freedom. It makes no sense to me. Many of you have heard about this Patriot Act garbage. In truth, the Patriot Act is anal rape with a pretty name. The thing that irked me the most about the Patriot Act is that when it came up for renewal, the world wasn't paying attention to it. The news was flooded with one fucking story. That pretty little blonde girl who was lost in Aruba. So basically what our trusted media representatives were conveying to us is that a Bill that would take away American freedoms in order to protect us from the people who want to take them away, is not as important as one fucking bitch who was killed. A lot more people than one high school student were killed on 9-11 and you can't even tell me about a Bill that is a direct result of said event, going through both houses of Congress very fast and being signed by the President before the ink even dried. What the fuck is wrong with us? How do we let these people get away with this shit? We let them lie, let them steal, and le tthem fuck us over, then their approval rating skyrockets. Citizens of this counrty reward crooked politicians for their ways. We turn our heads at every comment about a possible lie. We mock those who have conspiracy theories because most of us would rather be ignorant to what is going on in society, than to actually stand up and accuse our evil leaders of their deeds. What good is a society where we have the freedom to elect officials and take them out of office if they fuck up, if no one uses it? The problem is, everyone thinks that there is nothing they can do. That they are just normal people and that they can't stand up and make a difference. That is true. But if one billion of us got together and fought this shit, what are they going to do then? Nothing. They will cower in fear and no one would be able to stop us. I am saying to put down the McDonald's sandwich, stop watching Oprah, Dr. Phil, and Maury, tell your kids to question what their teachers tell them and start the fucking revolution. It's amazing to me that movies which feature revolutionary themes are such box office hits, but to talk about a revolution out in the open, you are looked at like a terrorist. People like the idea of a corrupt government being taken down by a masked hero, unless they are the ones that must put on the mask.
You are all part of the great cover-up. You turn your heads from corruption and pretend like none of this is happening. Even though our parts have been written into the great script, some of us choose not to play along. We go against the beaten path and change the way our characters think and feel. If you stick to the day-to-day repetition like they want you to, you are playing the game their way. They always win when the game is played their way. In order to beat them, to take the prize that you see hanging at the end of the maze, you must play the game by your own rules. The way to do this is to not believe the newspaper or Tom Brokaw. Don't let the media tell you what happened in an event. Listen to their side and decide for yourself what is true and what is just a bunch of made up horse shit. Why don't they ever tell us about what happens at GITMO? Because no one asks. That stuff is too scary. Sure, its scary, but everything they do to those men and women is against the Geneva convention in so many ways. People are tortured and deprived of sleep, food and water for many days. Does the government stop this? No, they let it slide, creating new laws that enable them to do those things. I ask this though, what happens when anyone who says anything about the president that they don't like ends up there? American citizens being mistreated at an off shore base for criminals. Will anyone get angry then? I don't know, but it should happen in the next couple of years.
