It
is a shocking experience to be awakened by some event in your life
and discover that things have changed. You suddenly realize that
your government is no longer your government and your ability to
prosper, take care of your family, share a good life with your
friends, and worship your god has been limited. You ask, "How did
this happen?" "Why did this happen?" Then, as you try to get
involved, you discover that your ability to do anything about it has
also been limited.
You
soon discover that, while you were enjoying the fruits of your
labor, an overwhelming amount of machinery has been put in place to
take your earned reward from you. To accomplish this, information
has been withheld and the true intent of legislation has been
disguised by a media that is now owned and controlled by the
kleptocracy that has replaced your republic. Your right to a free
press has been abolished and a merger has taken place. Big business
and government are now one in the same. They want all of the money
and all of the power and they don't really care what happens to
you.
Massive
tax programs that will further reduce your ability to prosper and
live freely are spun as climate control bills that will save the
environment. By the time an ear of corn gets canned and put on
grocery store shelves, it will have been already taxed ten times.
While electricity generation contributes less than 10% to pollution,
massive media attention is paid to wind farms and the rush to
install them is on before the technology is efficient or cost
effective. Wind will be a good energy source in the near future, but
we will be forced to pay to replace the turbines that are being
installed now.
Senators
huff and puff about not loaning taxpayer money to domestic car
companies and then they put a clunker rebate program in place that
just gives your money to both domestic and foreign car companies.
Protect-the-children legislation is enacted that requires you to
submit the stuffed teddy bears that you make at home for testing
before you can sell them. In other words, you can no longer do this.
Food safety bills are introduced that will require that small
farmers purchase certain types of seeds only made by large companies
and require small farmers to label and GPS enable their livestock
and crops. In other words, more small farmers will disappear and we
will continue to pay large farming corporations who have purchased
the land not to grow anything. A healthcare rationing is bill is
introduced and the drug companies pledge $68 billion to support it.
"Pain medication might be a better option to an operation", the
President says.
Then
there were the illegal wars that were planned in 1997, well in
advance, to transfer more of our wealth to the military industrial
complex and give private corporations access to Iraq's oil. Of
course we can't forget the legislation that was passed to cause the
.com crash and the mortgage crisis after a few people had made a lot
of money. We loaned these people money to cover their
sins.
Laws
are passed that punish your kids for not being taught and you find
yourself forced to actually argue about whether or not the murder of
babies should be legal.
"These
things are not right", you say. No one listens or you are called a
conspiracy nut and told to shut up. The mainstream media special
interest groups laugh at you and shake their heads. You keep talking
to your friends and family and on twitter and facebook and you keep
posting responses to major media articles online. You create a
website and post your views.
Suddenly, things called teaparties seem to
appear overnight and media bullies begin to get shouted down. You
feel comfort as you find more and more people who think like you.
The tendency is to continue to talk to your new friends and avoid
confrontations, but you know that you have to talk to the ones that
are not yet educated. Just keep talking and your voice will be
heard.
Just
keep talking.
