- The murder of the middle class has made all this possible,
and unconsciously we have colluded in this by keeping silent; by not wanting
to disturb the lowering expectations of the herd as a whole. True we did
this out of fear and concern for personal survival, but we traded real
opportunities for token security - and we gave up our freedoms in that
bargain - so we now have neither; freedom, safety or national security!
What we have allowed ourselves to be enlisted in a faceless army of the
poor that must now do only what we are told to do by those criminals that
we have allowed to steal the very heart of all that once kept us free and
conscious in a difficult and changing world.
-
- There is a clash in "the utter inconsistency between
ideology and operational policy - a general characteristic of Roman religious
fundamentalism in that it has traditionally preached "Christianity"
and practiced imperialism, colonialism and now capitalism. America's religious
capitalism has no use for scientific knowledge and its philosophical ramifications
but yet it has become utterly dependent upon scientific technology to fuel
the production of commodities and capital in nourishing corporate dominion.
In other words, religious capitalism is all body and no mind in the interest
of greed-driven survival. http://www.axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/printer_16933.shtml
-
- "All body and no mind," Think about that phrase
because that would mean that people are nothing but human machine parts
- with none of the human attributions that make us into the individuals
that we claim to be. What this means, in terms of the evolution of society,
is that human potential is not and has not been part of the equation -
wherever work or the life of the individual is considered.
-
- Literally this involves that disconnect between human
beings and the capabilities and thoughts that each of us brings to any
endeavor. A body without a mind is not technically a human being. So when
the jobs market consists only in the training and retraining of people
as if we are all of the same caliber, all virtually as uniformly available
for any job and as indistinct as cattle in a herd; we can therefore be
treated as though we individually have no mind or our own, no skills or
talents to be used in particular slots in the grand scheme of things -
this is why "work" is so boring and so bland across the board
today.
-
- So long as we are treated by employers as slaves; with
no rights, with no need to consider special talents based on inherent merit,
with no avenue to appeal this decree - then not only are companies the
poorer for it, but the society is permanently handicapped to the degree
that the situation is prevented from changing by those dominant forces
(of Roman religious fundamentalism in that it has traditionally preached
"Christianity" and practiced imperialism, colonialism and now
capitalism) that have sworn allegiance to these backward and confining
conditions.
-
- Many writers have been wrestling with why it is that
we cannot seem to break the hammerlock that this system seems to maintain
over the consciousness of so many people that seem to be buying in to the
nightmare that The Bush Doctrine of 2002 has laid on all humanity, simply
to enable their schemes for global dominion to succeed. The problem seems
to be that the dumbing down of education and the exclusion of hope or possibility
within the jobs markets of the world today - combines to force most people
to accept the unacceptable - which amounts to having no real choices (in
society, in work, or in political or philosophical thought) at all!
-
- So, when pundits try to "Tell the People" what
the hell is really going on - the public simply shuts down, and denies
that there is anything wrong, because that would necessitate doing something
about this situation? Our "conditioning" does not permit this
avenue of thought to even be explored: because the penalties for that are
job termination, possibly prison, and or expulsion from the main stream
of the herd - any or all of which are technically unthinkable.
-
- So congratulations people, we have made the transition
from people to dumb animals, and no amount of shiny new toys, or sexy bodybuilding,
or in-group perks can compensate anyone for the loss of our personal individuality
or our humanity.
-
- This has taken the overseer's many decades to achieve,
in order to run this human machine with the kinds of precision that they
have been seeking since they were first denied their role as robber barons
at the top of a society, where they were the self-appointed kings. Well
They're Back - and we are no longer equipped to fight them, because we
have allowed them to strip us of the humanity that could have saved our
lives. Part of what "humanity" contains is the guts to fight
to protect the survival of the species, which is called courage, along
with the use of the human brain that contains things like consequential
thought and logic, along with reason - virtually all of which as been suspended
by far too many - in attempting to deal with Bush & the Bandits!
-
- These little noticed and recently inserted flaws in the
society are what have made possible the coup that has taken over the USA.
It happened because we allowed ourselves to become divided by race and
gender, by religious and moral issues that have been used to distract and
destroy this society - rather than as potential bulwarks of those differences
that could have made us all stronger.
-
- The extreme Left and the extreme Right have combined
along with Communism and Capitalism, to aid and abet by the divisiveness
inherent within all the major religious systems that have allowed the zealots
to concentrate on the negatives with Islam, Judaism, and Christianity -
to paint the dark side as most important, when these same three religions
also contain exact opposite examples, equally within their respective texts.
Had they chosen to they could have pained a picture of inclusion and human
evolution, rather than the hate, the tribal revenge, or the politics of
force that have been currently co-opted to serve these New Barbarians that
want this New World Order - an "Order" that will subject the
world to tyranny on such a scale, that no one except the Overlords will
have anything like a life to live at all.
-
- They're BACK now - and the question of the hour is still:
What are we going to do about it? Here's something that one reader suggested
we might begin with:
-
- "Regarding the resolution that Congress passed (War
Powers) which authorized Bush to use force, the caveat that W ignored was
that he was authorized in a limited way, and that he had to have the approval
of the UN Security Council, and the inspectors had to show that Saddam
Hussein had WMD.
-
- Of course, W, at that time, went to war, giving the inspectors
NO TIME to physically visit the sites, and they had satellite maps. With
no time to even view the sites, and no time at all to prepare a report,
W went in.
-
- Now, we all know that Article 1 section 8 of the US Constitution
says explicitly that ONLY CONGRESS HAS THE RIGHT TO WAGE WARS, and this
is a war in violation of Article 1, section 8, but now that W got away
with this, he is planning another war on Iran. Both actions in Iraq and
in Afghanistan were illegal. Now here comes another one.
-
- You are right about these people being criminals, but
"thugs" is too good a word for them. They are traitors of the
first order. W swore to uphold the US Constitution, and then trampled
on the explicit power of Congress to declare war, and the Bill of Rights,
including the 8th Amendment prohibition of torture. The right to due process
is avoided by renaming the prisoners in Camp X-ray, as "enemy combatants".
Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard the second part of oral arguments on
what is an "enemy combatant". I don't know how that turned out,
but with Scalia, I am sure that they ruled in Bush's favor. (I was going
to go listen to oral arguments, but I got tied up in my own practice and
couldn't get there.)
-
- But, treason is the word to describe them all. Seriously,
they have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, and done it
illegally, unconstitutionally, and in violation of the public trust. Rumsfeld
himself admitted that this policy has not decreased terrorism, and may
indeed have increased terrorism. Therefore, this policy is against the
Public Trust.
-
- Treason is a capital offense. They should be brought
to trial for that, and someone exposed a CIA agent in there, and that person
caused the death of many American agents, who's cover was blown, and that
person needs the death penalty for violation of Federal law, as well.
-
- So, this is what I think. And, anyone who is a lawyer
should realize that this is the case, and should be doing something. I
think the Bar Association and the community of attorneys should be foremost
in calling this pig as it is, and removing the lipstick from it, so that
all can see it for the pig that it is. No man is above the law, and that
includes King George."
