So happy new year. I’m a little late with the salutation because there is precious little to be happy about.
DEPRIVATION, HUNGER, DEATH, DISEASE, WAR/SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS and DISHONESTY are stalking the people of this world with a vengence.
With all of our supposed superiority to all other species, on this planet of enormous abundance, we have run ourselves into the ground. With all of our technological marvels and EDUCATION we have allowed ourselves to be herded like sheep and like sheep we are destined for the slaughter house.
We choose from amoung ourselves, people to LEAD US, that we know deep down in our souls, are dishonest and corrupt to the nth degree. Since when did a free person get led anywhere? These abominations get the money and the weapons to wreak havoc accross the globe.
We are in this mess because we don’t know how to think and until we learn how to think, to reason and to follow logic we will stay in this mess. The solution will never come from the top down. A decision made by the shepherd never benefits the sheep, because the final goal is always the slaughter of those sheep and the profit that brings.
STOP FOLLOWING THE CROWD, TURN OFF YOUR MIND NUMBING TV, and focus on what you can do to get through this and to have a better life. A better life DOES NOT mean one that is filled with more stuff. The goal isn’t to return to the gluttony of consumerism that existed before, which is a little problematic since that is pretty much all our US/UK economies are based on. We have to change ourselves before we will see any positive change in our lives and in the lives of others. The government will not bring you positive change, beause it’s very nature is to bring you chains.
What are we really? From where I stand I see a society that is completely irrational in just about everything that it does. How on earth can we ever hope to do anything right when we are circling the drain in a never ending spiral of self delusion and destruction?
I know I’ve shouted somewhat in this post and that is considered bad manners. But you know what, I don’t care. To me ignorance and indifference are displays of supreme bad manners. My shouting doesn’t have the ability to collapse the world, but ignorance and indifference does. And when the world goes down taking you with it, it takes me down too.
I include the following article for anyone who still has Obama tinted glasses on.
Obama’s Victory
An Editorial A View From Across The Pond
The London Daily Mail
1-6-9
A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups.
A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth.
Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.
A victory for Hollywood , the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon.
Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meager political fashion.
Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti -conservative. Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition.
A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers’ unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.
A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.
