The situation in the United States right now makes me feel uneasy. Although I often come off as very critical of the government, I want to not that there are a lot of good people in government too. There's no doubt that, especially at the state level, there are some honest politicians that are trying to help their communities. There's definitely good judges, cops, governors, etc, people that are trying to better their communities and do good for their country and fellow man. However, I've noticed lately that there is an increasing number of shady activities occurring at the government level. There's also an alarming number of new government agencies popping up lately. Entities and activities that we, the people did not even know existed. You have to remember that your money is funding the very people that you now find yourself threatened by, and whom are supposed to protect you. Government is supposed to maintain order and justice, not run wild with covert operations and spy on it's own people. It seems that the constitution is not being upheld anymore. I can't remember which Senator said this, but I saw on CNN that they're "redefining" what the word reasonable means, pertaining to the constitution, in light of this new digital age and the fact that people are publishing their lives on social media. They think the Facebook phenomenon gives them an excuse to bite another chunk off the constitution. Let's examine an the 4th Amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
If you redefine the meaning of the keyword in the 4th Amendment, than the 4th Amendment looses it's teeth. This is dangerous!
Regarding the NSA Prism Scandal, it appears that the Supreme Court will allow the NSA to continue to hoard personal data, but they have to get a warrant before they can access it. Let me put this in perspective so that you can understand how outragoues this is. If this is the precedent that we are going to set, than it won't be long before you can be pulled over without probably cause and searched just to see if you're breaking any laws. If you have some pot on you and are still living in a draconian state, than you won't be charged until the officer can get a warrant, which he will. Another example would be bugging every American citizens homes and recording audio and video of everything we do just in case there is a criminal investigation, in which case they could access the footage to use against you. It's not that far fetched considering it's the exact same concept. The Supreme Court will look at this decision in the future and maybe decide that it now applies to your vehicle or home too. The only thing more personal than your cellphone or computer is your home. Think, people!
Regarding the situation in the Middle East, at the time this is being written, it's been 13 years since the notorious attacks on the World Trade Center. The events of that day effected everything that the Bush administration would do for the remainder of it's reign. The so called “Patriot” Act... of which destroyed so many civil liberties, is perhaps the most anti-American piece of legislation I know of. It's safe to say the name itself is a slap in our faces.
The attacks on 9/11 were the inception of a new world order. Everything had been going so well, the only war we were fighting was the “War on Drugs” (or war on the lower classes & minorities, as it happens). It seems that we were not making enough money by locking people up, and the arms dealers must have been restless. Just like the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and the Lusitania bombing before it, 9/11 was a military performed false flag operation designed to psychologically attack the American public. There were main three goals:
1.) To convince the American people that we must surrender some of our freedoms in exchange for security and protection from the terrorists(To this day I've never seen a real life terrorist, have you?).
2.) To have an excuse to invade Afghanistan, and then somehow that turned into an excuse to invade Iraq. Ironically these were two of the only five countries left in the world that were not under control of the Rothschild banking cartels. Coincidentally they also have massive amounts of resources like oil and lithium, which is now ours for the taking. Or maybe it's not a coincidence that Dick Chaney bought lots of stock in Halliburton, the same arms manufacturing company that profited off the Vietnam war (under a different company name). And perhaps to create military jobs to make up for some of the manufacturing jobs that we stupidly exported overseas during the Clinton administration. War is always great for a countries economy, as history shows.
3.) It is also my conclusion that the Pentagon (and possibly Building 7) attack was “added on”, so to speak; conceived and planned much later on than the WTC. That's probably why both cover-ups were even sloppier than the two towers. There were documents the section that was hit that may have proved what happened to 2 Trillion dollars that Donald Rumsfield "lost". So why the hell not...
Let's fast forward 13 years... Barrack Obama, finally manages to withdraw all the troops from Iraq, and within a few months the entire country is swept up by a new wave of terror and violence, allegedly carried out by a (radical Muslim, of course) group called ICIS, which has also been refered to as “The New Al Queada.” So President Obama, seemingly reluctantly, dispatches 300 “military advisers”, armed to the teeth, with Navy Seal training and machine guns to “advise” the Iraq government on how to defeat their enemy (A week and he just sent another 300) . I saw a video on CNN that was allegedly leaked by an anonymous man who is wanted by ICIS showing the terrorists rallying and the citizens praising their efforts. The entire country is in a state of chaos, and civilians are being raped and murdered, according to his report. He says that the terrorists shown on the footage he captured were speaking broken Arabic, and pledging to destroy Iraq, and then some other countries including Israel. If that's the case, than I guarantee that Obama will dispatch many more troops back over the middle east, and this war will be sustained for another 10 years or so. So now my generation, my parents generation, and possibly my future kids generation will continue to suffer because of these staged & for-profit wars.
When compared to the war on drugs, the Iraq war has many similarities. They both identify enemies that were not previously a threat, make problems out of things that were not previously problems, and torment the victims in a cyclical fashion. But the war on drugs has always been racist or class driven, and designed to keep minorities poor and exploit them by profiting off there incarceration. You may be thinking, “But it costs money to keep someone in prison!” Yeah, your right, and the private prison-industrial complex wouldn't have it any other way. They make billions off the contracts with the states, and it also gives the police the ability to make easy arrests. It keeps everyone in business. Not to mention the slave labor force that can be formed from the incarcerations. America is turning into more of a fascist country than a democracy, and this is what happens when corporations rule; the interest of the people comes second to the interest of the corporations. Hell, we even legally now consider corporations people!
The Iraq war is just a sad side effect of the industrial military machine. We are in Iraq partly because they had oil, and we wanted it. It could have easily been some other random country, but Saddam Hussein made a reputation for himself hating America, and if the shoe fits...
Important Part:
So now we get to the important part. It's going to be two years before we get the chance to elect a real person as president. I say 'real' person because we need someone that is like us. Someone that will truly defend our constitutional rights and save our country from becoming the Fourth Reich. Remember those MTV commercials? "The Holocaust happened to people like me and you. Think." So let me lay it out for you: The answer is not to go back to the fucking Republicans. The two political party system is so ripe for abuse. They are allowed to take part in bribery, in fact it is business as usual in Washington. THe two party system creates an illusion of choice, when in fact you have none. Look at the mess Bush created and ask yourself, is it really time to go back to the Republicans? You are all being fooled. It does not matter which party occupies the white house. Have you ever wondered why every election the media seems to know from the start which two candidates it's going to come down to? Did you know that the only two requirements for running for president are that you must be 35 years of age or older, and born on U.S. soil. That's it! It's also worth noting that corporations do not have to disclose how much money they donate to candidates. So in essence, that's fascism, not democracy. The parties put their own interests first, the corporations second, and us last if we're lucky. Stop voting for Democrats and Republicans. They are the same fucking thing, and we need real change this time around.
