It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
In America today, police officers
kill more people every in a day than most countries kill in years. In America today,
parents face being locked in a cage for trying to treat their sick child with a plant. In America today, presidential candidates on both sides of the
two-party system are cheered on as they call for an end to your rights.
Has America gone insane? By any rational measure, the answer to that question is yes.
Thanks to decades of
meddling in the Middle East by the US government, acting on behalf of
their special interests, there is a very credible threat of World War 3.
Russia is actually contemplating the use of nuclear weapons to fight an
enemy that was created, built and is supported by US interests. As
global stock markets plummet, weapons production and sales are
skyrocketing.
For the majority Americans,
the United States political system is seen as a football game. Any time
their party is in power, it’s as if they are ‘winning’ and the other
party or team is ‘losing.’ But what most Americans fail to see is that
both ‘teams’ have the same owner. That owner cares not about which one
of their teams is ‘winning,’ just so long as its one of their teams in
the game. War and the police state be damned.
War and the police state be damned.
This ‘owner’ of the teams
is not a single person, nor a single corporation, or focus group, or
think tank. Despite the best efforts of Alex Jones and the like, the
owners of government cannot be nailed down to just a few old rich men.
This is because the owners can be anyone.
The US political system is
set up in such a manner that it allows for anyone with enough money to
steer policy that benefits them personally. Politicians are
hardly particular when it comes to who’s throwing money at them, so
ownership is constantly in a state of flux.
The Us versus Them
mentality tricks good people into thinking war criminals like Hillary
Clinton, George Bush, and Barack Obama are righteous leaders. Insanity
and violence are justified, just so long as they’re initiated by your
winning team.
The controlled politicians,
the rigged system, and the elite are not some vast conspiracy either.
They are a tendency of the state in general. As long as a system exists
that allows government force to be bought and sold for the benefit and
privilege of a few, these atrocities will continue.
Until Americans wake up to
this fact, the quest for empire will continue to drive the expansion of
war. The slaughter of innocence will proceed and our very right to exist
will be trampled — all of this — in the name of ‘Freedom.
The good news is that it
doesn’t take a majority of people to wake up to stop this madness and
the number of those unplugging from the matrix are increasing daily.
Americans will not become
free when the police state goes away. Instead, the police state will go
away, only, when Americans become free.
