Whenever we act straight from fear without examining the
facts ourselves and considering all of the possibilities, we become the
instruments of larger political forces. Politicians disagree on a lot of
things, and they make lots of noise about petty matters, but they have a common
agenda, and when we get sucked into taking part in the bashing
and name-calling, we're just following along with their scheme, like sheep. It
is and has long been the purpose of the Redemopublicrats to fleece us. They
have been fleecing us for the past two generations at least.
The country was a lot different fifty years ago. The middle
class had real wealth, pension plans, health benefits, and good paychecks that
bought much more than we can afford today. Then those in power began taking it
away. What they did was fraudulent, but both parties joined in. Today, we can't
even collect interest on our bank accounts anymore. We've been forced into
borrowing money and paying interest to a system designed to drain it out of us.
That's usury. But to rationalize what they do to us, and to
continue doing the same in the future, they don't dare explain it in those
words. They won't say that they intend to continue screwing the wealth out of
us, but they're perfectly aware of it. In fact, in frank discussions among themselves, I believe they use that language to
describe it, but only on a confidential basis. If they wanted us to think,
they'd be speaking about all of this publicly, and they'd be talking to us
about possible solutions and the various scenarios that might result from each, instead of telling us to be afraid of trying "the other guy's
ideas" because it "WILL destroy our way of life as we know it."
If they wanted to have real discussions, those in
power would begin laying out their proposals by expressing the same facts, and
the facts wouldn't be "fuzzy," or constantly changing. The facts may
even include a confession, even an apology perhaps, that those who ran the so-called
"free market" in the past, whether they were Democrats, Republicans,
or anything else, made gross errors that have led to the deterioration of the
entire country. Their stories would begin with those admissions and a list of past errors. The facts would be the same, no matter which political party was proposing solutions. That is how an intelligent discussion would begin.
The reality is, our political parties don't present us with
facts. They make up silly scenarios from half-truths and they tell us to be
afraid.
We need to stop listening to those crazy bastards who are
telling us to be afraid. They're demanding that we shoulder the burdens of their own
fears. And believe me, they are truly afraid. They have a lot to lose; they understand the fraud that went into obtaining what they have; they understand completely that their wealth
is a "house of cards." But they want to keep their "house of cards" intact, even though
everything that has gone into maintaining its existence has decimated the
country at large.
We never became a great nation in the first place by making
other people's fears into ours. We should be indignant. This system isn't
working, and it's not working because it's not a democracy anymore. A privileged
class rules the United States of America today, and the simplest way to
identify them is by listening to the noises they make. Those in charge are
attempting to manipulate us by telling us to be afraid instead of asking us to think. We
need to take charge, not through violence or bluster, but by rational and
intelligent political action. We need to think for ourselves and quit being
afraid of the Redemopublicrats.
