The idea of America has long been
synonymous with "Freedom" almost from the very beginning. Yet
what too few still fail to realize is that 'Freedom' was never meant to
apply to everyone in this nation-far from it. The native population was
almost immediately targeted for extermination. Slaves were obviously not
included, nor were women and children. As the years went by changes within
were undertaken to add new rights and new freedoms to the Constitution,
for those living here. Yet even as that process went forward the US was
taking away rights and human life in very large numbers, in their
political quest to fulfill what they called 'America's Manifest Destiny.'
The world was much larger then,
so it took a great deal more time to discover what was actually happening
anywhere in the world during those formative years. The young Empire took
full advantage of this situation, as her creators began to lay their plans
for conquest. WWI reestablished old links with the continent, and
rekindled the original passions that had been so important to the
fledgling Empire in the first place. Maps of the world were redrawn
between the Great Wars, and then the 'Great & the Ambitious' launched
WWII. Since both wars had the same bankers, and the same grand plans in
mind - the outcomes in both cases were predictable. But there was a
problem. . .
After the war, retuning American
GI's used their GI Bill to get a college education - and so many took
advantage of that windfall, that their numbers actually slowed the plans
of the New World Order considerably. The idea before the war, had been to
dumb down education in order to create less friction for the
industrialists and the bankers, who only needed workers, not people that
might actually begin to think for themselves. As 'Critical Thinking' began
to catch on this became a major part in many professions. To counter this
trend The Trilateral Commission was formed in 1973, to put a permanent end
to this runaway society that then threatened to break free from the plans
of the Globalists and their New World Order. (1)
What came from that first
international meeting was that 'too many people had too much free time' on
their hands: and since this concept endangered the entire thrust of long
range plans, it was decided by the Trilateralists, that people everywhere
would need to work harder for less money. To that end-it would no longer
be possible for one American-wage-earner to support an entire family on a
single income. At this point wages for working people began to stagnate,
and the world began to change to fit the new paradigm.
Since the early 1940's a still
struggling "corporate America" had been working on a template
that was richly endowed with contributions from psy-ops and from blatantly
propagandistic Hollywood-produced films; basically to convince Americans
of the specialness of their new and very muscular nation-especially when
it came to "our place" in the world. "Freedom" by that
time had become a natural assumption, something that every American simply
"had." Except of course the black's and the other people of
color, along with most women (women technically gained "right to
vote" in 1920) - but for many, nothing much had changed in the
dominating Victorian world of middle-middle American life.
But by the 195o's
"Freedom" still had a ring to it, and after Rockwell and the
Saturday Evening Post finished their new global media-campaign:
"America" herself was transformed into a kind of real-life fairy
tale-a story that many Americans had come to believe while they also
completely forgot about what might have really happened on their way to
their domination of the planet. This new and very convenient marriage of
publicity and politics had it's beginnings in the shamelessly produced and
completely naïve 'Newsreels' that were shown every week in every movie
theater during the Second World War. This is where Media today got its
inspiration as well, to "preach to" rather than to inform the
public of anything. It was a stupendous campaign, and almost no one even
saw it coming. Ronnie Reagan was one of the by-products of this travesty
that played so fast and loose with what remained of the true facts
concerning the budding American Empire.
Through the late 1950's, the age
of The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit was born, grew up and died, with the
advent of the Hippies that arrived to shatter their ideal of
Mass-Consumerism Gone-Wild. Children from all over the country ran away to
find some fragment of life - to smell the flowers-or to find free love.
This too was soon co-opted, but the old guard of Robber-Baron-Days had
been infuriated by what they saw. To them this was an outrage that had
insulted their here-to-for unchallenged Daddyism: that brutal and
humorless damnation that ruled those early days when there were no
controls on anything they wanted. Lesser beings then had only endless
slavish work, in impossible conditions, no benefits, but plenty of
servitude and poverty for those who actually found a "job." The
1960's celebrated everything that hated the Robber-Barons and all their
tyrannies, so the new 'old-men' rededicated all their efforts to return to
those long lost days of absolute power once again. Enter "The
Crazies" from the cabinet of Gerald R. Ford, still freshly splattered
by the Nixon years. (2)
The Vietnam War finally ended,
and was immediately thrown into the incinerator of history, as if it never
happened: just as the Media was being bought up by the newly powerful
multi-nationals, now fresh from gorging their fill, on all the now
vulnerable little but successful business that would be swallowed up by
the huge conglomerates that would rip off massive pieces of those once
successful 'acquisitions' and then dump the rest for scrap. A lot of jobs
and industries began to disappear-but "what the hell, this was
America, there'd always be another job!" It was during this period
that America went from the world's manufacturing heavy-weight and the
international leader in business and industry to a nation of pink-collar
industries and a rent-an-everything society, where prosperity had once
been "King."
Ronnie presided over this
particular folly. He took this nation from the largest Creditor Nation in
the world to the World's Leading Debtor Nation during his eight years on
the throne. It was "the Gipper" that gave us all an early grave,
with ever more limited possibilities for any kind of future in those fast
approaching "Golden Years" that seem to shrink with every
passing president.
With these catastrophic
reshufflings, many of the long simmering criminal-plans of the neo-cons
finally began to come into flower. The language began to crumble under
siege from both the left and right, just as an ever-greater need for real
political knowledge began again to become a requirement for everyday
survival. (3)
As The Trilateral Commission's
sabotage of the "American Dream" was finally beginning to pay
off, each new situation within the nation continued to worsen. Yet all of
this made a perfect breeding ground for the last and final grasp of all
that had eluded them for way too long. So with the Decider-that
quasi-human shell that appeared to be human-but who was not as advertised:
they could finally take those forever forbidden steps that would finally
crush the life out of liberty and make a public mockery of
"freedom."
 Having created the events of 911,
that gave them the license they needed to enslave the once tentatively
free nation into a police-state without an end in sight: they soon began
the total lockdown of the nation by implementing the National Security
Council in place of Congress or the Courts: and so began this Great
Imbalance in the scales of Justice that has brought us all to the open
Gates of Hell itself.
Many have decried the critics of
this Outlaw-band of Privateers, choosing instead to cite that tired old
litany about Constitutional law, and a Free Republic, and the two party
system and all those other parts of the now dead government that once held
some power in this land. But they have overlooked some key points that can
shed a bit more light on the human and political condition in the United
States of Now!
For instance many have forgotten
that we have not had free speech during any presidential election since
that disaster on the streets of Chicago, at the 1968 Democratic
Convention. Every presidential convention since that time-now 39 years
ago-has denied the public the right to publicly confront political
candidates with questions that do not agree with the candidate's
point-of-view. Americans have apparently forgotten how to question
anything - anymore. But whatever that case might be - it is clear that as
a people we do not challenge those who seek high political office in this
land. At least we haven't done so since 1968. Now we have everything all
locked down into political "Free Speech Zones" miles from any of
the real action, and that is never covered by any inquiring media cameras.
Once these practices became the
fact-what else could we expect but rigged ballot boxes, totally corrupted
elections in which the candidates from both sides use the same speech
writers, and the same funders and the same marketing companies. And most
importantly both sides have sworn total allegiance to Israel over and
above any consideration for actual American Interests in the World:
whether those are national or international in scope. This government is
full of appointees that hold dual passports, even the Director of Homeland
Security, Michael Chertoff, is an Israeli with an ugly past. I would give
you the links to that past except that they've been scrubbed for our
national security protection no doubt.
America without her
"freedoms" is like a queen without her court. What is the point
of that sculpture in New York Harbor that she supposedly stands for?
"No real Questions" That's the new motto of this empire that has
repulsed the world with our arrogance and lies, recast by criminals that
stand only for themselves in a world gone mad with Terror, for the Crimes
about-to-be committed, in the names of every one of us.
Here's just one example:
"The master plan, it seems, is to move perhaps 40 million high-skill
American jobs to other countries. U.S. workers have not been consulted.
Princeton economist Alan Blinder
predicts that these choice jobs could be lost in a mere decade or two. We
speak of computer programming, bookkeeping, graphic design and other
careers once thought firmly planted in American soil. For perspective, 40
million is more than twice the total number of people now employed in
manufacturing.
{Once again that's Forty
Million Jobs - more than twice the number of those now employed in US
manufacturing}
Blinder was taken aback when,
sitting in at the business summit in Davos, Switzerland, he heard U.S.
executives talk enthusiastically about all the professional jobs they
could outsource to lower-wage countries. And he's a free trader." (4)
Then finally today in the
War-on-Iraq: the one that according to the Decider we are supposedly
winning now, because he got his "pulse" and he's fairly certain
that the money will soon follow. In that war today-236 Iraqi's were
murdered.
"On the box this was just a three
second announcement in-between interviews with yet another student,
teacher, bus driver, etc., in the Virginia Tech killing. NO, the President
will not be rushing to Baghdad to offer comfort - there will be no
counselors - or ministers sent to comfort the 'relatives' of these dead.
We are told that the students at VT will be traumatized for life, most
likely, and we were reminded how gifted and talented those who died were
(true). Yet there's this great disconnect with everyone in this nation
with the terrible suffering of those who experience a massacre of 4 to 6
times the tragedy of Virginia Tech DAILY - But do we care? And in Iraq,
there's no round the clock coverage, not even a single name of any Iraqi
victim is mentioned."
Is it only US casualties that can
feel pain or suffer loss-one has to wonder at the lopsided coverage of so
much blatant carnage? How exactly does it matter that we are free and they
are not? They may numerically suffer far more, but we suffer out of
ignorance-believing as we seem to, that "we" are free and have a
democratic system. At least they know that the USA is killing them: we
just nod and stare and then refuse to note the fact that it is we who are
the real prisoners here, because at least the Iraqi's are resisting those
that have come to kill them. We won't even question what is happening; to
who we used to be, or what we have become!
