What really bothers me is that most people in this country don't take any kind of action. They just chalk it up to "tough times" and vow to work that 2nd job for their family because that's what hard working Americans do. Fuck, even the kids don't seem bothered about it. Guess they think they'll be supported by mommy and daddy the rest of their lives.
Or by their uncle, obviously. :usa:
I expected that some kind of counterculture would arise from all this bullshit, much like the 60s reaction to the Vietnam War. But the only thing that has come from this is a misguided, unfocused OWS movement that hasn't done anything to fix the problem.
Where is the protest in today's music? Aren't these kids angry that they'll have to eventually pay off their bloated college loans for their worthless degrees and still have no job when they get out? Or are they too zoned out on Lithium to even care?
Yep, all of that has a very strong spin machine to get past nowadays.
Remember, the root of these problems are all tied to the invention of the petrodollar. The gov wouldn't have to be so authoritarian if it didn't have to defend it's immoral practices protecting the petrodollar. And when did that debut? Around the end of 'nam, conveniently.
So since the early '70's has the reason existed for the US to become like this... And naturally it would have taken them a few years to perfect these techniques.
But now that their skills have matured, like Bigwill said, they control the thoughts of even their opponents thru the use of the MSM and other propoganda. Perfect example: You just called the OWS movement "unfocused." That word was programmed into you by the media. You are in actuality wrong, OWS has a solid focus against the connections between politicians and Wall street but what you have seen reporting of is the end product put out by the MSM.
Even a huge movement like that, tens of thousands of people TAKING ACTION around the globe; is all spun into "misguided, unfocused hippies" for the consumption of the masses. It's
truly scary.
Even in the recording industry (and obviously hollywood) they control the message 100% so don't look for any more messages against the establishment there.
About the only thing they can't 'spin' is a full revolution. I was never afraid it would come to that in our lifetimes until just recently with all of this Non-MSM, non-controlled truth getting out online, such as this video. -Which is obviously why our uncle is trying so hard to remove free speech from the internet now.
Teh internetz is doomed, yo. Hope you guys have made enough money off it already!
Now here's the interesting part:
Twitter and Facebook updates have been found to be more addictive than cigarettes! Think about the implications here. A population on this planet that is far larger than the American population is rapidly becoming used to, nay, ADDICTED to, free speech on the internet.
At the same time our glorious uncle has decided to stop us from being free there. Can you say stormy horizon?
